Gold and silver have been the money of
the world for 5000 years. The word silver
means money. Gold means ''to shine"
Canada's gold standard is the gold dollar
of the United States, not the gold sover-
eigns of England. The Latin Union is
made up of France, Switzerland, Italy,
Belgium and Greece, where the French five
franc gold piece passes current, and the
ratio of silver to gold is 15t to 1. Eng
lands ratio is 10 to /. The United States
ratio from 1902 to 1884 was 10 grains of
silver to one grain of gold. Since 1884 it
has been 1906 (or say 10y to one of gold
Now silver men want to increase the ratio
up to say 20 to l, and continue coming sill
yer which was demonetized in 1878. Ger
many demonetized silver in 1871. Eng
land has practically discarded silver since
1896. Most free coinage men want the
right to take gold or silver to the mint in
quantities, the equal of 100 grains of gold
or 1000 grains of silver, and have the gov
ernment coin it for small consideration,
and return them the proceeds. Others
want the Bland bill reinstated, which linn
tied the coinage to not over 1900, 900 per
month, but compelled the coinage of 81,
OO0, 900 per month. From 1878 to July IA,
1891, under the Bland bill, 1878, ,166, 793
were coined, 371.4 grains. The Sherman
act then took effect and prevented the fur
ther coinage of silver dollars, directing
the purchase of bullion, and the issue of a
dollar note to represent every dollar paid
for the bullion.-Cldpp & Co.'S Weekly

The Nicaragua Canal and Construction
company has been placed in the hands of
a receiver on the application of its stock
holders. Warner Miller acquiesces in the
proceeding, the company being no longer
able to meet its obligations. The French
scandals over the Panama canal were a
damper on the American company, and
after the financial stringency came on its
securities could not be sold. The Boston
Herald says that the difference between
the two companies is that the Nicaragua
company spent $4,OOO,OOO and has nothing
to show for it, and the Panama company
spent $500, 100000 and has nothing to
show for it. This is not fair, however,
since there are no charges of fraud in con-
nection with the management of the Nj
caragua eOmpanys affairs.

The House of Commons passed the
third reading of the home rule bill last
Saturday by vote of 301 to 267, major
ito of "a for the measure. After more
than eighty days debate, the House ap-
piled the closure, and Mr.. Gladstone made
his final speech on the motion for the third
reading. The benches of members as well
as the galleries were crowded with persons
who listened attentively to his long address,
which was one of the most brilliant,
searching and convincing that he has ever
delivered. When the result of the vote
was announced the Irish members sprang
to their feet and cheered wildly, waving
hats and handkerchiefs. The measure is
now under discussion in the House OF
Lords.

The White slaves Arc Frss.

From the Manchester Mirror and Americana
The corporations have been downed.
The factory kings are kings no longer.
The tariff robbers rob no more. For the
first time in its history not spindle is
turning on the Amory; for the first time in
half century not loom is working on
the AmOsgkeag. Half the Stark is idle and
the Manchester runs four days in week.
"The white slave" is free; free to go and
come as he pleases; free to do anything eX-
cept work and get his pay for it..

He Is .struols" ON himself.
From the st, Albans Messenger. ]

In an interview announcing his willing
ness to accept the Democratic nomination
for the governorship of Massachusetts,
Hon. John e. Russell says he is some
times inclined to think that stumping
amounts to very little, and yet, he adds 81
think my tour of Vermont last year proved
of some avail" Considering that the
Democratic vote in Vermont for president
last fall was about $50 less than in 1888, it
is evident that Mr. Russell takes counsel of
his vanity rather than the facts, OF else his
idea of availability in stump speaker is
his capacity TO reduce the vote of his
party

Jumping on the Governor.

Associated Press Worlds FAR SUsctdL
CHICAGO, July 2.-Governor Altgeld was
rather severely scored at the patriotic Sun
day exercises at the Worlds Fair this aft
ernoon for his recent action in pardoning
the Chicago Anarchists from the Joliet
penitentiary. The ceremonies were con
Quoted in festival hail under the auspices
Of the regular army and navy u1lon
Scarcely thousand people were IN attend
ance. Prayer had been said and several
patriotic hymns had been sung when Com
mander j. M Campbell, of the Union, the
principal speaker of the day was announced
and he il was who scored the governor for
pardoning the Anarchists.
1T is eminently fitting" he said in open
ing his remarks, that the regular army
and navy union should observe patriotic
Sunday here to-day, because the chief ex-
ecutive of this State has recently shown
that he would be willing to supplant the
flag of freedom for the red heg OF an
archy."
When he had finished the sentence he
paused for moment, and for moment
the audience was silent, and then 1t gave
vent to a most vigorous applause Of ap-
proval. The speaker continued his al
dress. but no reference to the Governor or
TO the anarchists. He talked OF patriotic
Sunday and told of the good effect it would
have on the rising generation TO observe It,

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 1.-The incep-
tion OF operations of the dispensary law
was attended, last night, in Columbia,
with wild and bacchanalian revels. This
law is an innovation and the experiment
OF the most novel sort. Under it the
State takes entire charge of the selling
of Intoxicating beverages. The State
has big central dispensary in Colum-
bia, where whisky, beer and wine and
other liquors are put in bottles and kegs.
This dispensary furnishes liquors TO the
county dispensaries, which are estao-
lished upon the petition Of the majority
OF the freehoders of town. Nearly
every bar has made phenomenal sales
this week, many people buying enough
to last for months.
Columbia bars kept open house until
12 O'clock last night. Their sales were
immense. The consequence was there
was much tumult in the streets. A
double guard was on duty at the State
Dispensary, as threats OF burning 1t up
had been made. The bars are all closed
to-day, and the town is dry, no county
dispensary having yet been e3tao-
lished here. The State employs
a large force of consta-
bles, whose names are not known, to
detect "blind tigers" Reports from
all sections of the State, including
Charleston, say large quantities Of liq-
uors have been purchased In jugs and
bottles so as not to patronize dispen-
sarieS. An injunction has been OBJ
tained in Darlington to prevent the
opening Of dIspensary there. No dis
turbance is reported anywhere in the
State
