beautiful doctrine for them, and how
hard it is on me, to be sure 7! But,
then, we must support the rich, for
what would we do without the
poor? 2" Here the sacred man again
sighed from the bottom of his
paunch, and, droning through his
nose, again confronted the vaga-'
bonds "Blessed are they who
weep. All! Blessed are they who
suffer. All ~
"Obey them who rule over you J"
"Verily." cried the sage, "you
both have one philosophy, viz,
starvation-bread and water for
over-production rags and an empty
stomach for salvation-a philosophy
which neither of you seem to prao-
tice, since you both prefer warm
coat and full body" A dark
thought overspread the face OF man
with the fat paunch, as he replied
"This man is hereto, an infidel,
a disturbing element, a creator OF
discomfort among the masses. There
were times when the faithful would
compel such as he to regard the
souls of others, even did he not re-
gard the safety~of his own"
Eyes, yes! my sacred friend; we
would thumb-screw him into good
sense. and break him on the wheel.
Ha ha ha yes, break him on
the wheel ~ And the features of
the man with the hooked nose be-
came frightful.
A shudder convulsed the sage. In
the lghtnings of thought he saw
pictured The mangled form of muir
dered sire. There in his brain 1t
stood-a bloody corpse dashed to a
wheel the crushed bones protrud-
ing through the lacerated flesh ; the
face white, calm, brave, yet terrible.
Why not make the wheel "a sacred
emblem, even as the cross
The vision was gone. The good
man had blessed the tramps-and
leisurely drove away.

"Well, here in my strong box |

"Ah, ah p they sighed with de-
light.
"When you put your money
stamp upon it, it will be money"
ayes, yesp! they cried eagerly.
"But why put their stamp upon
it. if it is the metal which makes it
money? Do you not see that it is
their stamp which is money J" In
terrupted the sage.
"My friends, he don't understand
the great money question J" said
the man with the hooked nose.
"No, no not him, the crank y
they cried.
IL will now show you the great
money question, he said; 81 will
take some Of my gold and silver out
of my strong box, and you will put
your money stamp upon it and make
it money, and then | will buy, at
my own price, all the grain, fruit,
and cream of our good friend the
farmer here"
"But what benefit will that be to
these good people, to put their
stamp upon your metal and give 1t
power to purchase their wealth -
again interrupted the sage.
"You don't understand the great
money question, my friend"
"No, no, the crank--he's crazy"
cried the assemblage, and the man
with the hooked nose continued =
II will now take some more OF my
gold and silver out Of my strong
box, and you will pat your money
stamp on it and make it money as
before, and | will buy, at my own
price, all the materials of our good
friend the merchant here.
"Again | ask what benefit will
this be unto these poor people ~ In
terrupted the sage.
"You don't understand the great
money question:" was the answer

do you not keep us working all the
time 2"
Because, my friends, you make
enough in six months to last the
whole year round. You over-stock

"Do you not perceive that the
very gold and silver he gives you
for your toll you have to again re-
turn to him for a bare sufficiency OF
the necessaries of life that at the
end of six months he is is possessed
of all which your labor has pro-
duced, together with the gold and
silver he has given you, back again
in his strong box ?" said the sage.
They nodded acquiescence, for they
knew only too well the truth of the
remarks. The light began to break
in upon their toil-stunned brains.
They cried =
"You have given us but enough
for our support during our toll

six monthu, with six months idle
ness staring us in the face, what are
we going to do-you having every

explained the sage.
"Stop. Stop !" yelled the man
with the strong box. "4ou Will

the circumstances.
Mr.. Cleveland will return TO Wash
ington some time next week, but for
some unaccountabie reason those who
know prefer to surround bis coming
with mystery aud decline to say WHAT
day he will be here. although it is not
clear to ordinary perception what diff
ference it can possibly make to any
body what day he arrives, as It has
already been given out that he will see
no callers until after Congress meets.
But perhaps it is Mrs. Cleveland that
makes the day of his arrival uncertain.
He would very naturally desire to be at
Gray Gables when a certain expected
event takes place. If that is the case
why not say so. It is simply nonsense
to surround the movements of the
Pr, sident or any other official in this
country with Russian mystery. Votes
are the only weapons they have to fear
in America.
