not suddenly dispose Of a considerable
mass Of either metal without loss from
the temporary fall in it's price, and this
loss becomes the profit of the purchasers
when the old price is recovered. Being
flooded with the silver of Europe-now
treated by many persons as an alarming
danger-is being flooded with one Of the
precious metals and with money, if silver
is remonetized in this country. Silver is
the same thing, whether obtained by
commerce with Europe or from the
mines of America, and those who oppose
our receiving it from abroad must wish
to see our mines closed at home
If the states Of the Latin union or
other countries in Europe, abandon the
double standard after we readopt it, or
because we readopt 1t, it will be policy
on their part through which great ad-
vantages Will inure to us and great dis
asters will befsll them. 1t would inau-
gurate in the United States an era Of
prosperity, based upon solid money, OBJ
tanned on profitable terms, and under
circumstances necessarily stimulating to
our industry and commerce.
Finally, the commission believe that
the facts that Germany and the Scandi-
navian states have adopted the single
gold standard, and that some other Eu-
ropean nations may possibly adopt it,
instead Of being reasons for perseverance
in the attempt to establish it in the
United States, are precisely the facts
which make such an attempt entirely
impracticabIe and ruinous. If the ma
tions on the continent of Europe had
the double standard, a gold standard
would be possible here, because, in that
condition, they would freely exchange
gold for silver. 1t was that condition
which enabled England to resume specie
payments in gold in 1921. The attain
ment Of such standard becomes diff
cult precisely in proportion to the num-
Der and Importance of the countries
engaged in striving after it; and it is
precisely in the same proportion that the
ruinous effects Of striving after it are
aggravated. To propose to this country
a contest for gold standard with the
European nations, is to propose to it a
disastrous race, in reducing the prices Of
labor and commodities, in aggrsvating
the burdens OF debt, and in the diminu-
ton and concentration of wealth, in
which all the contestants will suffer i'm
messurably, and the victors even more
than the vRnquished.

In the opinion of the undersigned, the
proper legal relation Of value to be estsb-

YER and gold is 15.5 to l. That is the
legal relation in all the double standard

ception of Holland, where the double
standard has been Professionally estab-

A Wonan's Wit.

DR.. Adler tells good story about
verbal sparring match between the EN-
peror Hadrian and a rabbi. Said the
Emperor: "Why, your God is represented
as thief, for he surprised Adam in his
sleep and robbed him of one of his ribs.
The rabbits daughter craved permission
to reply and when her request was
granted she said: "Let me implore thine
imperial protection. A great outrage
has been inflicted upon us" "What has
happened7" asked the Emperor. She
answered, "In the darkness Of the night
an audacious thief broke into our house.
He took silver fagon from our chest
of plate and left golden one in its
place. "Would that such a 1obber
would visit my palace every day" said
Hadrian. "And was not the Creator
such thief as thisl' retorted the girl,
"for he stole from Adam rib, and in
lieu thereof gave unto him living,
lovely wife,"

A Bandits Courtesy.

Cardinal Theodoli, the fntendant Of
st. Peters at Rome, who had just
died, led, for the most part, a life Of
clerical tranquility: but he was fond
Of narrating one thrilling adventure.
1t was in 1874. Monsignor Theodoli
was spending quiet holiday at the
abbey Of Trivulsi, near t'rosinone.
While repOsiug under chestnut tree
in neighbOring wood one afternoon
he was captured by Landits and car
ried off to the mOunta!ntop. His
servant, who came in search Of him,
shared a like fate. In the morning
the chief approached the bishop re-
specttully, and, with many apologies
for the necessity which. he was under,
informed him that they required
e2, 600, which his servant could bring
back, aud then he would be set at
liberty. There was no help for it.
The servant was sent and returned.
The captive was freed, and the brig
ands implored his pardon, saying
misery had driven them to their
mode of life, and protesting that
they were good Christians. The heart
Of the bishop was softencd. He gave
them his blessing. The chief seized
his hand and kissed it fervently, but
IN doing SO contrived to abstract the
pastoral ring In justice, though, it
should be said that about a year
later, as the bishop was one day cross
ing the bridge Of st. Angelo from St.
Peters, an individual unknown to
him thrust packet into his hand.
1t contained the ring.-Tit-B Bits.

Peter Gruber, the rattlesnake king o.
Venango County, Pennsylvania, has
had made the most unique costume any
man ever Wore. 1t consists of coat,
vest, trouses, hat, shoes, and shirt made
entirely OF the skins of mathematics.
Seven hundred snakes, all caught and
skinned By Gruber during the last tive
years, provided the material for this
novel costume. To preserve the brill
fancy and flexibility of the skins in the
greatest possible degree the snakes
were skinned alive, first being made
unconcious by ch.oroform. They were
then tanned by q method peculiar to
Gruber, and are as SOFT ard elastic a.
wooden goods. The different articles
for this outfit were made by Oil City
tailors, shoemakers, and hatters, AMI
the costume is vatuel at 81 200.

India-Rubber From Turpentine.

Doctor w. A. Tilden discovered some
months ago, observed the Industries, that
isoprene, which can be prepared from
turf -ntine, under certain circumstances
changes into what appears to be genuine
india-rubber. Bouchardat had also found
that the same change could be brought
about by heat. The material so produced
resembles pure Para rubber in every way,
and, whether is is genuine rubber or not
it may be equally good for all practical
purposes. 1t vulcanizes, for instance
1t therefore seems possible that we may
soon be able to make india rubber COM
mercially. If this is possible, fortune
awaits the inventor who can make good
rubber from turpentine at reas nable
price. 1t is subject we'll worthy of the
devotion of prolonged labor.
