nouncement that the annual banquet Of
the Keeley club, held at Biddeford a few
nights ago, the elite of the city were
present, and it was shown that of go
persons treated at the new Kelley insti-
tute at North Conway, n. H., 40 are
fully cured Of the drink habit and less
than twenty have backslid. 1t was
claimed by some Of the speakers that
the bichloride treatment had done more
in one year for the temperance cause
than ~prohibitory laws in ten. But all

THE TRADE OUTLOOK.

Dun's weekly review Of trade for last
defeat of anti silver legislation in the
senate and house and the concerted de-
post of gold by New York banks in the
reasury in exchange for legal tenders
have directly opposing but powerful in
tiuence upon the markets. and it is yet
too early to determine what the net re-
suit may be. The confidence manifested
by the banks strengthened markets on
Thursday. but the decisive defeat of sill
yer legislation in the house caused re-
rewed encouragement and apprehension.
1t is not by all realized that the gold re-
serve Of 100 millions, not to be used eX-
cept for protection Of note circulation,
was expressly intended to be used for
that purpose, and as far as It is SO used
the notes go into the treasury in place of
the gold taken out. The banks, by
placing the gold they do not need in the
of 3J.SOO,OOO this week, reasonably hope
| that their confidence may lessen the dis
position to withdraw gold. In other re-
spects the state of trade is satisfactory,
except that severe storms and cold have
much interfered with trade. collections,
and transportation during the week, es-
pecially at the west.
Exports are improving a little, but the
outgo Of $~i,0OO,OOO gold expected this
week is not due to trade business. If
the tentative action Of strong banks does
not check the movement, farther meas.
ures by the clearing house are contem-
plated for prevention Of disturbance.
The treasury has not been losing gold,
and the soundest men feel that the
treasury and the banks operating in
harmony should be abundantly able t.
meet difficulties, until the new admins.
~tration makes known it's policy.

THE uEGIRA on GOLD.

How the gold bugs quake when the
yellow metal begins 70 slip frcm their
grasp 10 make the annual tou ys Eu-
rope, Il is ; spectacle to c]oayuIse the
gods. That d nation pretending to in
~tcl'iycrec and civilization should submit
to be thus t~ygacizeJ and Lumiliatcd by
a few money sharks, is one Of the uncN-
planned inconsistencies OF human nature.
Today this nation is on the verge of a
great monetary panic owing 70 the work
Of these sharks, and the people are help
less because they are all more or less
frightened by the bugahoo Of gold
scarcity"
Discussing this point, Judge Goodwin
Of the salt Lake Tribune. one of the best
authorities on the silver question, says:
Now. up to 1878, silver was better in
our country at a ratio of 10 to | than
gold itself. Had our government and
Germany eft the laws as they were there
would b. no depreciation in the price
Of silver. 1t has not been broken down
by any surplus of the metal produced:
the wound to it came entirely from leg
i~slation. and how different it would be
now If our country silver was still a full
legal teEder-perfect money of redemp.
ton. an absolute and exact measure OF
values. The going and coming of a few
million dollars ia one or the other metal
would not matter, because our people
would say, Let it 60. 1t will have to be
returned in something equally valuable.
and cur mines can produce enough OF
the precious metals for u every use.
But when silver was ~demonetized and
half of the material out of which debt
are paid was stricken out of existence as
money. the trouble and confusion began.
1t continues still, and our statesmen, So
called. and sur bankers Will not see
where the trouble and fault lies; but
rather. this trouble which was made by
their foolish ard wicked Legislation. they
persist in ascribing TO the wrong cause.
and now when il brings around its legiti
mate results they are panic-striCken over
the prospect Of losing the other metal.
because through the influence Of the
toud.dealinc bankers beyond the sea
they have been beguiled into believing
that gold is the only thing that will
answer for money of ultimate redemp-
tion. There is no cure for it except by
going back and undoing the work Of
1873. They may struggle on as they
please. they cannot avoid that, because
IN absolutely iust law was violated ana
a million honest contracts were violated
by the government. The wrong OF IT
exists and continues, and will until the
legislators of our country reverse that
unjust and dishonest decree. and restore

THE MISSING WORD CONTEST.

Another day has passed and the first
prize in the guessing contest has not
yet peer won. Strange as it may seem
no two of the guessers have yet thought
of the same word, the nearest approach
to such an agreement being the guesser
who suggested ''press,' and another who
wrote newspaper" Neither is right
but the range of words sent in may be
imagined from the fact that one bright
young woman says the missing word is
pun" while another says Language"
Another suggests people," which is GER
tainly a we'll considered answer, as there
is nothing more remarkable than the
origin and growth of any people. But
like all the others it is an error. 1t is not
often that a chance is offered to make
so by a 10 cent investment. 1t is the
first one who guesses the right word
who will win the first prize. The i'm
p%ortance of guessing early is therefore
apparent to anyone. 1t is expected that
several will guess the correct word, and
so several prizes are offered. Read full
details of contest On page 1.

MINISTER STEVENS, at Hawaii, has
certainly scored a big victory, and while
there ma be certain difficulties in the
way it cannot be otherwise than good
policy on the part Of our government to
take The islands instead OF permitting
them to fall Il prey to some other nation.
probably Great Britain. Minister Stev-
ems says in his letter to the secretary Of
state: The provisional government must
have time TO organize It's new policy and 10
discipline a small military, for when the
monarchy died by its own hand there
was no military force in the islands cX-
cept the Royal guards of about seventy
five natives, not equal to twenty Ameri-
can soldiers. There are 10000 Chinese
and japanese on the islands and evil
disposed persons might stir some of them
to disorder. But the chief elements Of
evil are in Honolulu. where are the rene
gade whites at the head of the lottery
and opium rings and a considerable nun
Der of hoodlum foreigners and the more
vicious of the natives. Another impor-
tant reason for our action is the posi-
bility of the arrival here of British men,
of-war." 1t is not often that anybody
gets ahead of the British in a matter of
this kind, but u minister stole a march
on them this time. Hawaii can be made
a useful territory.
