ENGLAND'S EINANCIALPOLICY,

ENGAAND'OF FIN AMI Il VAAC1 .
William E. Gladstone, the most
liberal of British statesmen, is a
grand man for England, but when
that is said, it is all there is of it.
A little insight into Mr.. Gladstone's
character may be gained from his
declaration that England would not
consent to a change in her financial
policy, and giving as reason that
English citizens were largely credit
ors of other nations and their
citizens, and that a double standard
would diminish the debts.
Now, under Mr.. Gladstone's ad-
ministration, India has demonetized
silver, thus increasing the salaries
of all the British rulers of that de-
tendency, and adding to the over
burdened taxpayer.
Now, it is plain that Mr.. Glad
stones policy is to increase the
purchasing power of gold, and there
by increase every debt owing to
British subjects or, in other words,
M. Gladstone pursues policy that
robs other nations in order to further
enrich the English money-lender.
He also pursues a policy detrimental
to the English working classes. A
strong sentiment has grown up in
England in favor of the remonetiza-
ton of silver, this sentiment being
particularly prominent among agri-
culturists. But, in England, as in
America, the politician sits down on
silver for no other reason than that
it would increase the circulating
medium, and thereby benefit the
debtor and producing classes.
The British government of to-day,
as in the past, is the foe of the la
boring classes, both at home and
abroad, and it accomplishes it's pur-
pose of rendering the people of other
nations tributary to the English
money-lender by adhering to the
gold standard of values. England,
in her money-lenders and the subju-
CATION of her weaker neighbors, is
the freebooter of the world. There
might be some palliation to her guilt
as the nations highwayman were it
not that, in the midst of the great
est wealth the world has ever seen,

lecturing as much as possible, and
devote his time to his editorial work
on the Atlanta Constitution, but
next fall he will take the stump in
Kansas and Iowa, and probably
Ohio, to MAKE fight forjthe Popu-
lists. Sam said to a reporter "Our
party is very active in the South.
You know last year l ran for con-
gress down there, and carried four
of the eight counties, but the other
fellow carried Atlanta and beat me.
This year. Tom Watson begins the

New YORK, June 30th, 1898.
Our country is threatened with
one of the greatest disasters since
the Civil War. Its institutions are
being shaken to their very founda-
tions. The demon Distrust is stalk
ing about the land, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. leaving in its
trail the countless wrecks of thou
sands of it's most honorable citizens.
The standard of value by which
the money of the poor man and the
rich man is measured is being trod-
den in the dust. Inssead OF twelve
inches to the foot, we are forced to
accept six or little over. The
actual intrinsic value of our present
silver dollar is but SO cents, and
growing less each day. Still this
great American nation is obliged to
calmly face inevitable ruin-the
sweeping away of far more wealth
than was involved in the great war
between the North and the South,
simply because it's Representatives
are not called together in accord
ance with the authority vested in
it's Chief Executive, and forced to
remove from the Statute Books the
law which is eating away The vitals
Of American honesty, of American
credit, and casting into great
abyss century of financial honor.
Repeal the silver act Of
1890. Every d0y's delay
means untold ruin and
he0rtre1adipg distress. Our
great United States is fast becom-
ing financial outcast among the
nations of the world. The people
of the United States are honest, yet
our honesty is impugned.
We have made mistake. We
know it. 1t is the will of the peo-
pie that this grave mistake shall be
Immediately corrected Let the
President convene Congress at once,
and let the people in all parts of the
land rise up and with righteous in
dignation demand that this law be

How the Mighty Nimrods Fared-Dinner
in the Forest.
In a broad and general way hunting
parties may be divided into two great
classes-those that people hear about and
those they do not.
The writer has in mind a hunting
party of the second class-that which
appears not on the written page, nor is
found in the mouths Of men. 1t went
for big game, and got but little Of it. 1t
went out with plenty of wagon room in
which to bring back venison, deer and
antelope to tickle the stay at homes
palates, and returned, the wagon space
still unoccupied and carrying no load
but that of solid, soggy, destroyed
hopes. Yet the party was successful
in a way.
There were days-a week of days
that the party walked or rode over the
hill and plain without getting a shot at
anything. The members became dis
trustful of each other and cast chances

they took their seats in the sleigh.

to her aunt.

The traml,iLg Of the horses feet kept
time to DOrO Iy's thoughts. She glanced
at the tall stump upon the hillock just
before theyr ached the little river. Yes,
it looked lolcly, desolate, like white
robed ghost-just us it had looked year
ago when she and Bert had sped by.
The horses hOOfs beat mournful

gently.

his hand and rising to her feet.

Rem en- Der the Day.

The feast at last. The grace is said,
And up bobs every eager head,
And bright eyes, like some greedy power,
Go seeking what they may devour.
The turkey at the feast is lost:
The chickens get their drumsticks crossed,
And empty Plates, just filled with pies,
The good wife marks with smiling eyes.
Perhaps this day in years to come
May find them wanderers far from home,
And with joy hunting memories cheer
The shadows of that changeful year.

''What beautiful Thanksgiving day
it is!' she continued, when she had left
the table and put back the curtain from
the window. GLOW fine the sleighing

AS she spoke, a jingling of bells was
heard without, and sleigh glided rap
idly across the white lawn.
cit is Bert Darricote, auntie," said
Dorothy, looking out at the handsome
young man, who sprang out of the sleigh
at the steps.
81 have come to take you to church,
Dorothy" called out Bert to her as she
threw up the sash, letting in the crisp
air, which blew her fair curls in sweet
confusion about her fair, pretty face.
81 know you would not for worlds
miss the opportunity to exhibit your
skill at manipulating the worries today"
the young man continued, as he came
and stood under the window and looked
up into the bright face above him.
II am so very glad you came, Bert"
said Aunt Charlotte coming up behind
Dorothy. "This child has been hurry
ing me all morning, and a housekeeper
must needs look we'll to the ways of her
household, particularly when her pastor
and his wife are to take dinner with
her."
"Just wait a moment, Bert" said Dor
othy, "and 1 shall be ready. Do not
keep auntie standing here talking to you,
though. Sheis all Impotence to explore
the mysteries of cellar and closet to see
if perchance she can discover some del
icacy to tickle the palate of Brother
Mallory today"
She looked very beautiful to the young
man when she came down to him.
"Isn't the road fine, and isn't the air
crisp, and doesn't Selim travel we'll to-
day, Bert?" asked Dorothy loquaciously
when they were seated in the sleigh and
were Swimming over the smooth, hard
packed snow.
"What makes you so quiet, Bert?" she
asked, astonished at the happy fellows
unwonted silence.
"Perhaps it is because Ihave so much
to tell you, and hardly know where to
begin," answered Bert solemnly.
"Do you know, Dorothy, l am twenty
one years old tomorrow"
''Twenty-one? Yes, you are, and am
eighteen. And yet-how short a time it
seems since we were little children;
since we used to go coasting down Dob
sons hill. Do you remember the time,
Bert, when Tom Arnold asked me to try
one trip down on his sled and the thing
came all to pieces and went tumbling
down and sprained my ankle? Oh, how
furious you did get! Don't you know?
You pummeled Toms big head till you
split your gloves and your knuckles, too,
l believe, for they looked very red when
you were dragging me home"
''Do you remember all that" said
Bert. Il thought you must have for
gotten it from the way you were smiling
at Arnold the other night at choir prac-
tice."
"Why, Bert, how could he help the
s1ed's coming to pieces?" asked Dorothy
laughingly. 81 see you are as unreason-
able as ever"
"Well, it's mans business to take
care Of a woman, even in little things,
and when fellows even indirectly the
cause of a girls coming to grief in any
way think he deserves to be demol-

of muscles aching with unrewarded toll,
of a steady bread and bacon diet oppos-
ing rising appetite, desperation took
the upper hand.
'Tm getting pretty sick of bacon"
said one.
cit looks like that is all We'll get"
said another.
1t was at this juncture that the party
happened on small bunch of wild cattle.
1t was the first meat on the hoof with
which their eyes had been blessed. 1t
was an exciting moment, and the leader
of the party rapturously brought his rifle
to his shoulder and shot down yearling
heifer.
GA deer at lastl Look at the antlersw
he yelled, capering gleefully about.
"You are mistaken; it's cow" said
more conservative member.
The leader looked doubtfully at his
prize and shook his head. 81 admit that
appearances are against me-" said he.
"But-so excited-hadn't shot a gun for
so long-sick of bacon-no, no; you're
mistaken. 1t is deer meat"
So this lawless, reckless party took a
hind quarter and journeyed on. The
next day deer was actually seen and
killed. Hope revived, and the party es-
timated the probable result of the trip,
with large balance on the credit side.
The third day from the opening of the
season the route led through beautiful
oak country Underbrush there was in
plenty, and the enthusiastic leader of the
party looked wisely about as he observed
to another, "Should think we ought to
run across scne mast hogs in here"
Strangely enough, at that moment a
sedate old black and white SOW hove in
sight, with her progeny trailing at her
heels. With pOrker's usual disregard Of
consequences she was moving straight
against the ace of providence. The
leaders, gun was ready, and in mo-
ment the choicest Of the litter was a
victim of maternal imprudence. Tho
mother galloped away with no apparent
regret, and the brothers and sisters of
the deceased went gallOping after.
That notwithstanding eve-the
There was a spring Of clear water in
which water crosses grew. There was
grass in plenty for the mules. There
was wood for a roaring campfire. Who
so happy, so we'll contented, as the hunt
ers as they sat about the blaze, pulling
contentedly at their pipes and thinking
of the grand and varied feast they would
have on the morrow? There were bacon,
pork, beef and venison; there were
onions, potatoes snd canned tomatoes,
flour, SALT pepper, baking powder. The
next day these should be combined in
the most appetizing form. A stew with
dumplings! The choicest of meats, roast
or boiled!
In their minds eye they beheld them
selves fattening upon the good things
that their rifles had procured or their
forethought had provided.
Twenty-four hours later this was an
accomplished fact. There was nothing
left to eat. But the fire burned gayly
and the pipes smoked as pipes should.
Complacency and lethargy possessed the
party.
81 don't feel as though I'd ever move
again." said the recumbent leader.
"Mebbe it's just as well if you DON'T"
said strange voice, and the strange
owner of it stepped out into the fire
light. He had mean looking gun in
his hands, and the muzzle pointed group
ward.

"Won't you speak to me, Dorothy"
Bert said, almost pleadingly. "You
must know that I love you, and now
am able to take care of you, dear, If you
will only trust yourself to me, no harm
shall"-
Bump! The runners of the sleigh
struck board at the end Of the bridge,
there was cracking, a creaking, the
horse bounded forward and Bert and
Dorothy tumbled over into the drift
beyond the bridge.
care you hUrtw said Bert, scrambling
to his feet, and extricating himself and
Dorothy from the mass of rugs and soft
snow.
"Not in the least" she replied, "but
how are we to get to church? Who will
play the organ?"
"Can help you out of your difficult
ties?'' called a cherry voice behind them.
and big Tom Arnold came up in his
handsome sleigh.
''Ohs Tom," said Dorothy, 81 am SO
glad to see you! must be in church in
time to play the organ today, and see
what has befallen us!''
"Well, get in both Of you," said Tom,
arranging his rugs and holding out his
hand to Dorothy. 'Just fasten up
Selim's traces, Bert, and hitch him be-
hind. He will lead, won't hep
"Thanks!'' said Bert stifly. 81 can
take care Of myself; you had best not
waste any more time. since Miss DAILY
must hurry"
Dorothy looked at him mutely from
her seat in the sleigh; Arnold smiled
beneath his fierce mustache, cracked
his whip, and the horses sped forward,
leaving Bert standing flushed and angry
in the middle Of the road.
It was a very silent, gloomy ride, after
all, that Dorothy had. Tom saw her
distress, and like tie good fellow that
he was said nothing to her. Her hands
were trembling and her eyes were full
of tears when he helped her out at
church.
She struck the first few chords doubt
fully, but when the voices pealed forth
clear and sweet the organ tones grew
fr1ner and fuller.
During the sermon Dorothy did not
take her eyes off the door, but Bert never
came. It was a very demure, a very
sad hearted little maiden who went back
home with Aunt Charlotte in the big old
sleigh. When they reached the bridge,
and she saw the overturned sleigh by the
roadside; when she thought of Bert
standing angry and alone, his sweet,
earnest appeal to her still unanswered,
her heart grew very heavy.
''But surely he will come," she kept
saying to herself but when the day was
gone and she knelt down by her bedside,
with the Thanksgiving hymns still ring
ing in her ears, there were tears in her
eyes and sadness in her heart.
That was one Thanksgiving, and, oh,
how sad one!
There were dreary days of hoping, of
waiting, Of disappointment to Dorothy
before another came. She had known
Bert DarricOte all her life, and it seemed
to her she had always loved him. His
bright, quick boyishness, his innate man
illness, his very faults even were dear to
her.

IN relation to the school district, the

the rest, so she can make no levy nor
