years Immediately prior thereto, the
prices OF agricultural lands were sbnor-
mally low. Without doubt, the prices
of a few commodities were high in
1871-72-73, but only from exceptional
causes. Iron was sbnormally high in
those years from sudden expansion Of
railroad building, and this led to great
speculstions, notably in England, in iron
and coal. But the high prices Of these
articles do not prove high level Of geE-
ersl prices in those years any more than
the high prices Of cotton proved high
level of general prices during and imme-
distely after the American civil war. The
tendency OF prices was already down
ward in 1873 when their fall was has
tened and intensified by the demonetiza-
tions of silver by Germany and the
United States.
The true and only cause Of the stag
nation in industry and commerce now
everywhere felt is the fact everywhere
existing of falling prices, caused by
shrinkage in the volume Of money. This
is in part the misfortune Of mankind, as
the mines have failed for several years,
under energetic working, to yield the
precious metals in quantity sufficient to
keep pace with the increasing needs Of
the world for money. But it is in part
due to the folly of mankind in throwing
away benefaction of nature by discard
ing one of the precious metals. Existing
evils date with that folly, which precipi-
tsted and now enormously sggravates
them.
Many learned and excellent persons
and associations of persons in all parts
Of the world, whose instruments of OBJ
servstion seem to have been adjusted for
the examination of remote objects, and,
consequently, untitled for and hind
rance to the inspection and examination
Of anything near at hand, have furnished
many far-fetched, incomprehensible, and
impossible causes for existing evils,
which agree in nothing except their re-
moteness. They have seen through
glass darkly or they would hsvs dis
covered that the cause was all around
and about them; that it is the same
cause that has invariably preceded and
accompanied similar evils. They would
have seen that money in shrinking vol
ume was engaged in its legitimate work
of ruin. This is the great cause. All
others are collateral, cumulative, or
real the effects of that primal cause.
Practical men see what the mischief is
and they all see it alike, and, without
formulating their ideas in set words and
phrases, they all state it alike. Capital.
lists, large and small, give one, and only
one, reason for refusing to invest in pro-
ductiVe enterprises. Uniformly and uni
versally the reason given is that prices
are falling and may continue to fall, and
that money is the best thing to get and
hold while that state of thing continues.
All can see that prices have fallen and
are falling, although they may disagree,
or may not trouble themselves to form
any opinion, as to the cause Of the fall.
And all can see, and do see, that it is
falling prices which cause the stsgnstien

Mr.Cleveland announced TO the pub

Of Alabama, for Secretary of the
Navy. The complete Cabinet is as
follows:
Walter q Gresham, Of Indisna'
Secretary Of State,

Richard 0lney, Of Massachusetts,,
Attorney General.
The selection of Hillary A Herbert
for the navy has been expected for
several days; but Mr.. Olney's name
had not been mentioned in connec
tion with the Cabinet, and his selec-
ton is "a surprise to everybody. par
ticularly TO the friends of George A..
jerks.
Hillary A. Herbert has been in
Congress for many years,and has act
ed as chairman of the naval COM
lutte Of the House lie is thor
oughly familiar with the work that
has been done toward placing the
United States Navy on proper
footing, and his knowledge of the
present condition of the vessels I'M
der construction and which have
been planned makes him a most de-
sirable man for the head of the de-
partment. His selection is also
practically promotion.
Mr. Richard Olney is one of the
leading practitioners Of the Massa-
chnsetts bar. He has not held any
political position nor been prominent
in political matters, but is known as
one Of the leading lawyers and sub
stantisi citizens of Boston. His
selection gives New England rep.
resentatiye in the Cabinet, and that

positions.

AS 4 BULLD0ZER.

The Philadelphia Press calls at
tention 20 the personal ruler at
Washington, and declares that the
President has adopted a manner
more in keepng with an irresponsible
despot than Of q responsible ruler.
1t says further, that chs letter in
response to Mr.. Van Ale1' S resigna-
ton of the Italian Nilsson was an
illustrations. That public judy
menu, based on solid grounds, and
showing a just sense of the principles
which should regulate such selections
the President stlgmatized as mali
cious criticism and insisted that
there should be no vie ding to this
noise and ciamor, Again, in his
message, referring to civil service re
form, he said:
1.-The law embodyiu2 this reform
found its way to our statute books
more from fear Of the proper senti-
ment existing in its favor than for
any love for the reform on the part
of the Legislators.
Think IF a President thus stigma
tizIng with coutemptnous reference,
the Congress q the United States,
In the same message tie President
told Congress what one 81 its com
mittees was going to r.polt TO il. As
to the Hawauau affair ihe press
says:
1.-The President has conducted 1t
as though his will were absolute, and
as though there were no other
authorities TO be considered aud
consulted. The question involves
the excerise of the highest prern-
gauves Of a National sovereign. It
relates to the overthrow Of the gov
eminent Of friendly country, and
the employment of the power and IN
hueuce Of the nited States to es-
tablish a monarchy. Yet the Presi-
dent has assumed to take the whole
decision in his own hands"
The Press leaves out the petfor-
nance of the President in regard to
the silver business last summer, be
cause the Press wanted the silver
purchasing clause Of the Sherman
law repealed, and patted the Presi-
dent on the back for his autocratic
work. And yet the vAole bearing
of the President from lis first curt
Older to Congress to repeal the bill,
to the time when he iutertered to
prevent any compromise measure be
ing substituted showed conclusively
thai he was determined to have his
way neither Congress wanted 1t that
way or not; that he cared nothing
for Congress- or for the great masses
of the people, so that he carried out
the arrangements that he had made
with certain monyed institutions of
New York. If he gets through this
term without imDeachment, it will be
because the discipline of the Demo
cratic party is so perfect that they
will stand any kind OF bulldozing, 50
it be done in the name of Democracy.

A declaration of marriage in Siam is
simpler even than it used to be in Scot
land. You ask lady to marry you by
merely offering her flower or taking a
light from q cigarette if it happens to be
in her mouth, and your family and the
brides family have to put up at least
$1,000 apiece for a dowry. Unlike Japan
the Siamese women are treated as equals,
but they can seldom read or write The
principal impeachment in the way of mar
riage is that each year is named after an
animal and only certain animals are al
lowed to intermarry. For instance, a
person born in the year of the rat cannot
marry with person born in the year of
the dog, or q person born in the year of
the COW with a person born in the year of
the tiger and there are similar embargos
about months and days.

'Evangeline,' Hawthorne and Sumner

ner Hawthorne told US that he had lately
become interested in the exile of the
Acadians. 1t excited his Imagination. He
fancied two lovers widely separated and
wandering for years, meeting only to die,
and wished to make novel of it. He,
however, thought the subject too difficult,
and fancied he should have to give it up

about the novel, and finally asked Haw-

make the story the subject of poem. He
gladly consented, and was one Of the first
to congratulate ME on its popularity l

statement. AS far and wide as you
