THE speeches In Congress on the
currency question show a marvellous
lack Of knowledge concerning political
economy and the history Of fIance
This silver question is simply the ever
recurring question Of debased or an
honest currency II has been adjndlcated
in al countries and settled In few. Il
could be settled now, it would be now,
but for the special interest that few
men have In the price Of silver bullion,
by the study OF the question In the light
Of history and philosophy. The scholars
have clear ideas on the subject; the men
who study the.question. unbiased by the
personal interests Of few Of their con-
stituents. have no more idea that the
government must &c into the market I,
maintain the price Of silver than It must
do the same duty for wood pulp, rags ant
paper stock Notwithstanding the
wonderful amount Of history, literatur,
and philosophy on the currency questiei
only one man in Congress has treate,

Mr. Cobb is evidently distressed not to

The comedy drama Jerry" fresh from
It's big hit in New York, will be pre-
scented at the New Peoples Theatre this
evening. While not embellished with
the up-to date mechanical aud scenic

or course the general tendency of pro.
tective tariff is TO increase the prices Of
the corresponding domestic articles TO
those on which It is imposed. The laws Of
trade are so strong. however, that often
the laws OF Congress cannot change
them. That is the case with wool. The
protective tariff has not governed the
price Of domestic wool. The price has
been affected, but for many years we had
the phenomenon OF jow.priced domestic
wool. Referring to this the high tariff

RECENT LITERATURE.

The Illustrated American is perpetual
delight The issue for September 2
opens with refreshing article on
Summer by Sea and Shore, followed
by breezy description OF the annual
cruise of the New York Yacht Club,
illustrated by pictures of the principal
yachts Of the club. The Worlds Fair
claims considerable space, and Bombay,
the scene of the recent religious riots, is
described and fully illustrated. A strong
political article on "The Mistakes Of
Grover Cleveland" a clever dramatic
criticism by Austin Brereton, and some
unusually interesting editorials make up
the current number of this delightful

awkward to have history staring you in
