rider, could not b constructed without
nm awkward support of some kind.
Prof. Charles Page, 81 the Smithsonian
institution. at that time one of the
great scientists of this country, ridi-
culed the idea and endeavored to prove
that the feat was impossible. He
showed In . very clear, theoretical
manner that, with the wind blowing ut
50 many miles m hour, with SO many
pounds pressure per square inch, no
statue SO constructed could stand. Prof.
Page convinced many people of stand
ing that Clark Mills was undertaking
the impossible. and the young man
came very near having all of his trouble
and expense without rccompense; for it
was almost decided at one time not to
accept his work This was on the
ground that, even after its successful
erection and unwilling, IL would fall
and be destroyed. and the money in
vested would be wasted. The young
man, however, had some warm friends
who believed in him and in his ability
TO accomplish his work, and the statue
was finally accepted and inaugurated.
=
will stand forever. Moreover, when It
was finally decided to accept his statue,
young Mills was allowed to make hi.
casting from guns captured by Gen.
jackson ut New Orleans.
The success Of the young artist imme-
diatcly made him famous. At the fol-
lowing session of congress an appropri-
alton was made for an equestrian
statue of Washington, after the same
model. and Clark Mills was engaged to
do the work. He built q workshop
three miles from the capitol. and re-
manned there until his death. His first
work. in that place, was the statue of
Washington which stands in the center
of Washington circle, where Twenty.
second street crosses Pennsylvania
avenue just east of Rock creek, about
midway between the white house and
Georgetown Heights. These two are
the best pieces Of statuary in the nation
al capital.
Mr.. Mills made . duplicate of his
Jackson statue for the city Of New Or
leans He also made . handsome and
striking statue Of Gen. Scott for tho
soldiers home, and placed it upon q
height where it ovcrlooks the city Of
and another. m equcs-
tsian statue Of Scott, ON Sixteenth
street. midway between the white
house and Columbia Heights. But mono
of his work has excclled his first pro-
fcssional effort. the jackson statue. lie |
took a plaster caste Gen. George b. Nc
Clellan, when that military leader was
It the height OF his fame. and made o
lay model from It; but he never put |
{ into bronze. Tho model exists, and |
ZONE day . handsome statue of Nc
Clellan can be made from it.
In his later years Mr.. Mills used TO |
abuse himself with model making, Just |
y he had done in his early days Of pow
.rty and struggle for existence. His
home. workshop. forge and farm, were
combined in handsome place north of
he city. where he commenced his
,arecr in adversely and ended il in tri-
,mph. The young reader must not be
nislcd into the belief that because
lark Mills became . great sculptor
without adequate trimming everybody

pecial gifts which wcrc developed

THE man who looks to the in
crease of population for the real
market of the American agricul-
turist will not look in vain, but he
should at the same time labor to
build up that market by wise
fostering of all industries outside
of agriculture in order that the
non-agricultural class may be not
only increased but enabled by good
wages to buy largely of American
products.

IF the silver dollar could be en-
lowed with a self acting power of
contraction and expansion to meet
the fluctuations in the price of that
metal, then there would be no OBJ
lection to making monetary
standard with silver as it's basis.
AS this cannot be done the remedy
must lie in another direction and
upon congress devolves the ticklish
job of determining what that rem
edy is.

WHATEVER this government
stamps as a dollar goes for one,
whether it is stamped on paper or
on gold or on silver. 1t is all
mOOnshine to cry fraud because
there is only sixty cents OF silver
bullion in silver dollar. How
much value is there in the paper
that is received for dollar? The
trouble lies in making the value
lie in the silver or the gold coin
instead of in the promise of the
government to accept the stamped
metal or paper for the value it
represents.

why there should be any financial
uneasiness in this country. There
is everything in the situation to
inspire confidence, and it is an ever
lasting shame to the business of
this country that it permits itself
to be disorganized by the efforts of
a set of money sharks who at the
money center of the nation disar-
range the currency for their own
speculative purposes. Wall street
is at the bottom of all the present
financial uneasiness.
