they are redeemable in gold. To all
intents and purposes this is fact.
The Harrison policy recognizes gold
only as the money of final payment,
and all our currency notes are re-
deemable in gold only. Let us see
where we stand with respect to our
ability to redeem these notes in gold.
On the first of May, according to
the treasury statement, the United
States had in circulation gold certi-
fcates, silver certificates, treasury
notes Of 1890, United States notes,
currency certificates of 1872, and
national bank notes to the amount of
81, O63, 1876, 200, and the treasury
held for the redemption of these
notes fraction over $100,O00,000 in
gold.
In other words, the nations using
the single gold standard have $780,
100000 of gold with which to re-
deem paper debt of S3,525,000,00
A trife over half a billion of gold
with which to redeem Three and a
Halt Billions of paper notes!
Is 1t any wonder that the value of
gold increases constantly = some
times with a sudden Jump that peo-
pie call panic? Is it any wonder
that productive industry finds its
profits absorbed in this contraction
of values? That the prices of all
products of human labor are falling {?
That debts and interest are lnoreas-
ing in value? That prosperity is
brought to standstill? That the
great arteries of commerce, the rail
roads, are in ticklish condition That
all forms of industry and all sorts of
enterprises are seriously if not disas-
trously affected?
There is nothing strange nor mys-
FERROUS about it. In the financial
history of the world there cannot be
found an exception to the rule that
low and falling prices and declining
values produce depression and stag
nation.
Until now, by reason of our recog-
milton of silver, this country has
managed to escape the stagnation
and depression that is driving the
starving populations Of the single
gold standard nations into anarchy
and socialism, but the Harrison
policy of redeeming the silver notes
in gold has demonetized our silver
dollars and the people of this coun-
try will have an opportunity-unless
the Harrison policy is repudiated-of
facing the conditions that have aided
in pauperizing every European coun-
try except France, which, next to
the United States, has the most pros
porous population on the globe.

A DISCOURAGED DEMOCRAT.

The disappointment of some of
the leading Democratic papers crops
out occasionally in brief sentences
which portend a rocky road for the
administration in it's efforts to head
off the public demand for relief.
The St. Louis Republic, for example,
puts the caustic this way:
"Where one Democrat has been
appointed to Office since March 4
last at least a hundred Republicans
have been retained And what is
infinitely worse, the financial policy
of the Harrison administrator has
been retained also without the
slightest change"
In leading editorial of the same
date, the Republic says:
"a few weeks ago it seemed to be
with the Democratic party only a
matter of triumphant progress from
victory to victory. Now it is a ques-
ton of what can be done to prevent
the party from being driven back.
During Mr.. Cleveland's retirement
from public life the Democrats
gained the Mississippi Valley. This,
though it promised to Democracy
continued ascendency in the coun-
try, filed Tories, Plutocrats and
Pharisees with the greatest alarm,
and they have been more anxious
for nothing than that this magnifi-
cent work should be undone-that
Democratic chances should be staked
on New York; that Democratic en-
ergies should be expended in trying
to make In Massachusetts, all gains
which, under such leadership, it is
thought advisable for the party to
have. All that these people could
do to turn the party back to the
politics on which it has been defeated
for SO many years has been done,
and it is now plain that without
united Democratic action the party
will be utterly unable to continue its
advance"
While the people at large care lit
tie for the conn plant that the Repub-
licans who have been removed are
few, and the number of disappointed
Democratic aspirants many, they
realize that the grievance stated in
the second quotation is real, and the
facts fairly given. This is the chief
burden of the Democratic cry. And
it is apparent that while Mr.. Cleve-
lands we'll known indisposition to
make discrimination in positions. as a
reward for party service deadens his
influence with the workers Of the
party machine, his evident sub
serviency to Eastern interests and
Eastern demands is rapidly weak
ening his hold on the confidence of
the mass of voters who were de-
ceived into voting for him by the
very workers who now fail to re-
ceive their reward.
Truly the Republic voices popu-
lar sentiment, and is doing its best
to stir the administration up to re-
deem the party pledges.
The administration is fat and slug
gish, and seemingly has its good ear
turned another way.

In That Case-What?

Maurice Barrymore, the actor, is a
great wit and wag, and at sharp re.
partee he Is wonderfully clever. One
of the acquaintances he made at the
Hoffman House bar is a dapper little
Hebrew who is agent for a certain
brand OF champagne and is con-
stantly pushing its sale. Barrymore
liked the agent and he liked his wine,
and the two cracked many a bottle
together. One day not long ago the
agent approached the actor in a con.
tidential manner, and, button .holing
him aside, said:
BARRY, l have got a new scheme
and you can help ME in it if YOU
will"

Here is true story ON the subject
that will please all tony masters of

A traveller in Portugal purchased a
native dog which soon became much
attached to him. When spoken to I'M

the master could command, the dog
seemed puzzled, and he seldom found
out what was required of him. But
