At the other end of the building, how
ever, is a room not so easy of entrance It
is guarded constantly by watchful French
men, and no one is permitted to enter with
out pass signed by one of the commission
ers. The room contains the Lafayette relics,
and they are watched with the most jealous
care. The greater number of these relics were
gifts to the great B'renchman while he was in
this country taking part in the war of the
Revolution and during his visit in the year
1924. Many of them were given to him o.
souvenirs by one or another of the gre 1t
men of that time and are thus dou jly
precious in the eyes of patriotic peopl OF
both nations.
There is a pair of pistols once the. prop
erty of Washington and presented by him
to Lafayette, and there are two rings con-
tanning some of Washingtons hair, given
to the noble Frenchman by w. Park Gus
tbs. A dress sword worn by BENJAMIN
Franklin at the French court and subse-
quently given by him to Lafayette looks as
bright as if it had but just been made, and
there are two original busts by Houdon-
one of Washington and one of Lafayette.
The copy of the Declaration of Independ-
ence presented to Lafayette by congress in
1894 is in the collection. 1t is an engrav-
ing, printed on parchment, and has for a
border the arms of the 10 original states.
Portraits of Washington, Hancock and
jefferson adorn the upper portion. The
autograph letter of President John Quincy
Adams transmitting the declaration lies
beside it, and there is also an autograph
letter by Thomas Jefferson, which, though
merely a letter of introduction for "Mr.
Lawrence, a citizen of distinction of the
state Of New York" is as interesting as
anything in the room.
Writing of the Declaration printed on
parchment is a reminder Of another docu-
ment on parchment that may be considered
lneal descendant of it. This is the

A CONFESSION.

During the last Presidential cam
paign we were told by the free traders
that the tariff did not benefit the work
ingmau. That it increased the cost
of the necessaries of life and did not
raise his wages. Now we.have from
the Free trade New York Evening Post
the following remarkable confession
that labor has been splendidly pros
porous and prices low under Repub-
Iican tariff laws. The Post on Thurs
day said:
"The reduction in wages now
beginning to be reported are to be
deplored upon general principles, but
under the present circumstances they
can hardly be avoided. 1t should be
remembered, that steady and very
long continued rise in the value OF
wages existed. There has been some
rise in money wages at the same time,
but the increase in their purchasing
power has been within the last twenty
years something remarkable, At the
present day mechanic ofvery ordin-
airy skill can earn barrel of flour by s
days work and although bread is nc
longer so -importanta part Of the diet
of working people as formerly, it is 8
very satisfactory preventive of star
walton. In most other articles of foOC
there has not been so marked a decin,
in price as in the case of the cereals
but there have been few advances ;anC
If the prices of the great staples of con
sumption were averaged, it would ap
pear that the cost of living had mater
ially diminished. The same conclusion
is reached by examining the prices o
eIOthing. The extremely low price 0
tton has enabled the common peopl,
to provide themselves with cottoI
goods upon very advantageous terms
and the cheapness of wool has defeated
even Mckinley IN his attempt to MAKE
wOolen goods dear, however successful
he may have been in impairing theil
quality. The abundance Of capita
and the ingenuity of our manufactur
ers have filled the homes of the poo
with articles of convenience and com
fort at marvelously small cost to tn,
occupants, andin almost every respect
it may be said, they are getting fal
more for their wages than they were &
generation ago.

THE Republicans of indiana are hav-
ing a good deal of quiet fun with the
farmers of that state. During the last
Presidential campaign the Democratic
managers made a special "drive" for
the votes of the farmers, and in order
to make an impression upon the horn
handed tOilers of the soil the chairman
bad hundreds of large banners painted
bearing the following inscription :;
''Vote for Grover Cleveland and get
'Sf.ee& a bushel-for your wheat" At
that time the Indiana farmers were re-
aiizing an average of 81 bushel for
their wheat. The banners alluded to
were distributed throughout the state
and were carried at the head of every
procession and prominently displayed
at every Democratic mass meeting in
the rural districts. 1t was au effective
card and secured many votes for Cleve-
land from the more unthinking farm-
ers. The Indiana farmers have waited
In vain for the realization of the DEM
Ocratic promise. The price of wheat
has been dropping steadily and to-day
the disgusted farmers must either keep
. their wheat or accept 90 cents a bushel
for it. OF course the Democratic lead
ers scout the idea that the election Of
Cleveland and the restoration of tile
Democratic party to power had any
thing to do with the collapse In the
price of wheat, but it would be diff
cult to convince the Indiana farmers Of
it. Having been so silly as to believe
that the success Of the Democrats
would raise the price Of wheat from 81
to sl.25, who will blame them if they
hold the same party responsible for the
drop to 80 cents per busbel?

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 4-During the past
two weeks the departures Of Austrians
and Italians from Pueblo for their native
land has almost reached a stampede. The
movement began soon after the banks
closed their doors, in one of which con-
siderable number of these people had their
savings. Those who took out their money
wished to deposit it later but the banks
refused to open accounts with them. The
leading foreigners then held a meeting
and decided there was conspiracy to do
fraud them out Of their money, that
Americans would no longer employ them
and the only thing for them to do was to
return home, They are not paupers, but
take with them an average of $500 per
family.

Art, science, mechanics and agriculture all
admit the potency of her sway, and few Of
the subordinate divisions Of the fair are

The French government building is very
modest and not as pretentious as those of
nations of much less prominence. tits but
a single story in height and takes the form
of two classic pavilions connected by a
semicrcular colonnade. In the center of
the court surrounded by the colonnade a
pretty bronze fountain plays, and it is on
warm days q shady retreat from the glare
Of the sun. The merchants Of Paris have
decorated the interior Of one Of the pavil-
ions with rare Gobelin tapestries, works of
art and choice bric-a-brac, not so much by
way of exhibition as to make a pretty re-
ception hall for visitors, who are cordially
! welcomed there
