The Cosmopolitan for July is not less
striking 70. its contents than for the fact
that its price has been cut in two This
step is the most radical ever taken in the
price Of periodical literature Unchanged
in form, il is on sale at twelve aud half
cents per copy, or 81 so per year.
The cutting in half of price already
deemed low for an illustrated magazine il.
says the publisher. the result of an inten-
ton long since formed, to give TO the pub
lie an illustrated monthly of the very high
est class at such price as must bring it
within the reach of all persons of intellec-
tual tastes, however limited their incomes
There are more than 10, 200, 900 readers in
the United States and less than 500 600 mag
azines are printed to supply their demands
More than four years have been spent ia
reaching the organization necessary for
the production of The Cosmopolitan at
this price, a figure hitherto undreamed OF
by the reading world. Each department
of the work has been slowly perfected. un-
I'll "itu LIZ u tHIS year
$50 900 copies Of the magszine were print
ed. To establish a magazine upon such a
basis at :te outset was impossible. Only
the rapid growth Of The Cosmopolttqn's
editions, almost unprecedented 10 magazine
records, has produced the conditions
which make this departure from estab-
lished prices possible.
The Cosmopolitan promises to make the
year 1898 the most brilliant In its history
No other year has seen such an array of
distinguished names as will appear on its
title page during 1898.

The chief feature Of the Century for July,
and one Of interest In connection with the
Extradition Treaty with Russia, is con
tinuation of the discussion of the internal
affairs of the Cars empire. This consists
of two rejoinders to the paper contributed
to the February Century by the Secretary
of the Russian Legation at Washington,
Mr.. Pierre Botkine, entitled "a Voice for
Russia. 'Of these articles one is by George
KEENAN,. under the title of "a Voice for
the People of Russia" in which the writer
takes issue with Mr.. Botkine's main prop
ositions and cites a large number Of au-
thorties in support of his contentious
with the Russian secretary. The other ar
ticle is contributed by Joseph J icobs in
behalf Of the Russo Jewish Committee in
London; it is entitled "The Official d, :
Tense of Russian Persecution" and is con-
fined to the special consideration of the at
utude of the Russian government toward
the Jews Of the empire.
The Worlds Fair comes in for further
attention in an illustrated article bv ROYAL

WASHINGTON, June c9.-Secretary Car.
Isle received numerous callers to-day.
among whom wcre many members OF
congress. With all those, the silver ques.
ton formed tho principal topic of con-
versantion and the continued decline In
tho pricc OF silver was naturally referred
TO. The secretary had received cable
gram stating that tho price of silver to-
day in London was 6sL. cents per ounce,
at which ratio the silver dollar, a. bullion.

Of course 10 apparent that tho purchasing
power OF tho silver dollar, with silver
bullion at 6sE cents per ounce Is as great
to-day ~ when silver was worth sl.22 pcr
ounce and the bullion value Of silver was
as cents. II should be equally obvious
that this is SO because il is known that tho
credit OF tho United States is behind its
silver money, rs il 10 behind all the other
forms OF money, and without which none
OF them except gold coin and gold
certificate would be worth par in the
money markets Of tho world. This fact
was several times emphasized at tho last
session of congress, when ex-Secretry
Sherman and others repeatedly declared
during the senate debates. that therc was
In tho treasury, bullion gold to tho value
OF every silver certificate issued by tho
government.

WASHINGTON, June 2o.--Sccrctary of the

said to-day that he thought that the popu-
lists are not now making any prooress in
the country and the teachings Of those en-
gagged in the agitation will not havo any
influence I'm shaping the policy of the
democratic party. Speaking OF silver,
the secretary said:
II think the s,oppaee Of the free coinage
of silver in India Is the greatest blow given
10 the Sherman law and to tho free coin
nge Of silver. Tho free coinage of silver
in India has been pointed to as an object
lesson by tho advocates Of free coinage In
this country. Now that the coinage of
silver is thus voluntarily stopped with the
consent of India, il tumbles both aryu.
