luxury viii ruin the Republic as il
ruined Greece and Rome.

EWAuOO NiIOoCc hAlu AeOLuCS
But would not a truer diagnosis Of
the case reveal in the heart Of the
patient leech that is not content
with sucking the blood as it flows
through the arteries and veins, but
has lodged itself In one of the valves
of the heart and stopped the hearts
action while it calmly sucks the stag
nant blood. Would you then say
"too much blood" and apply other
leeches to suck the last vestige of the
life current?
Citizens of this republic, there is q
leech! and it is not a simple little
mouth and stomach. Il is a hydra
headed monster with Its myriad
mouths applied to every artery in
the body of our industrial system,
and Andrew Carnegie Is one of the
biggest, widest and most rspacious
of them all. It is now lodged in
Wall street, and has stopped the free
flow of currency while it sbsorbs our
wealth with ease and comfort.
Shall we aid this monster Pluto
cracy, or shall we treat it as we would
any other leech under similar circum-
stances?
OF course Andrew winds up with
the usual appeal to all classes of
silver's friends and enemies to JOIN
all the other countries in a war
against silver and see which country
is first ruined.
He says we can stand the racket
much better than Europe, because we
produce gold, but he forgets to mem
tion that we owe Europe more gold
in interest alone than our total an
nual product.
We have reviewed thus at length
Mr.. Carnegie's article, at the joint
request of Mr.. G. and the editor of
the ReUieoU in these words which sp-
pear in the colored fy-leaf, devoted
to editorial comments on the various
articles and their authors:
At the request of Mr.. Carnegie, who de-
sires that his views on the present crisis
should have the widest possible publicity,
the editor valves, in the case of his article
on " Free Silver Problem" the restrictions
that he is usually obliged to impose as TO
the length Of excerpts taken from cOntribu-
tions TO the Review. Newspapers and
periodicals are therefore requested to copy
as freely as they choose from Mr.. Carnegie'a
contribution to the present number.
As for Sir John Lubbock's article,
two brief extracts will serve to make
both It's intent and method plain. As
to It's intent:
The investments of Great Britain in for
eiRn countries are enormous and increasing.
Il is estimated that they bring us in El00,
OOO, 900 a year-one- fifteenth of our total in
come, twice the rental of agricultural land
Surely, then, we should be very unWise tC
make an arrangement which would give
foreign countries the option Of paying uf
either in gold or silver-in silver if it con.
tinues TO fall, in gold il fresh gold dis
ooveries should make it cheaper than the
ratio agreed on. We should indeed be un.
wise to agree to such a one-sided arrange.

that the more 1000 you eau AIG9E your
appetite IS fully satisfied, the stronger
you will become; that the more sur
plus flesh you can put on your bones,
the better it will be for you. He wants
you to believe that if you put your
wheat in bigger bins there will be
more of it; that gallon measure can
be made to hold more that gallon"
You must understand that this is
all nonsense, that in fact the reverse
of all this is true; that the smaller
your game bag the more game you
will get; the less food you eat the
stronger you will become; the less
flesh you have on your bones the
better; the smaller your bins the
more wheat you have, and no matter
how much of anything you have, one
gallon measure will hold it all. All
this is true for no one asks for a
game-bag of money any larger than
is required to carry our business
game; no one wants more money
after the normal appetite Of business
is satisfied; no one wants any surplus
money. We only want bins volume
of money! large enough to hold all
our grain property without too
much waste (high rates of lnterest);
we want a bushel measure to hold a
bushel of business transactions, So we
will not be obliged to crowd it all into
a gallon or lose what We can't get in.
But thus much of such nonsense
quite turns poor Andy's head and ne
blurts out eff the government were
to make S5OO,OOO,OOO more money
to-day, it would lie useless within the
treasury, or in the banks, because it
would not be needed for the only
purpose for which money is needed,
namely, to effect exchange of articles.
And this would be the case even if
gold lay in the government vaults
equal to the notes printed. "
Isn't this nice doctrine to pour into
the ears of people with abundant
wealth, but unable to secure the
paltry sum needed to pay their en-
ployes or keep even with their grocer
and baker? It is certainly beyond
us. Strain as we might we could not
get onto a height of absurdity to meet
such folly.
But perhaps the rGrG aVis of the
whole flock of ridiculous statements
is the following:
The United States just now, as to its our
rency, is like a man too fat and full Of
blood, that is, he is in great danger Of apo
plexy. What would you think Of doctor
who would tell you that the patient needed
more blood in his system, when the trouble
is he cannot keep in active circulation the
blood which he has now. Just so with our
country. There is no active circulation of
money through che veins Of the nation.
The financial blood is stsgnsDt. The super
abundant "currency lies almost inactive,
and il already requires premium to induce
il TO come forth from it's vaults and cir
culate.

Women as FARMERS.

There are in Wayne county, Michi-
gan-in which the city of Detroit is
situated-220 women who own farms
and nearly half of them work their
farms themselves. OF the latter 30
are married, 21 are unmarried and
50 are widows. The total number of
acres owned or worked by women in
Wayne county is 1914, and the
most of those who do not live on the
farms and take an active part in the
cultivation still direct the tilling OF
their lands. These farms have an
average of 76 acres each. The larg-
est is in Huron township, owned by
Mrs. Lavina Ellis, and has 800 acres.
The smallest is one of five acres, and
is worked by Mrs. Olive Mckinney in
Livonia township. Nearly all of the
women are reported as having good
success, and "a number of them have
become wealthy.

CHINESE EXPERTS In IRRIGATION
The Chinaman is a wonderful irriga-
tor, and his presence on the big ir-
rigators of California is a great boon
to the proprietors. He is the most
perfect type of the seryile laborer and
is therefore very satisfactory to those
who have no objection to labor.
Where there is a good system of irri-
cation eight Cinnamon will irrigate
1 900 acres day at the cost OF five
cents per acre. They work with re-
markable speed and accuracy and
often locate checks by the eye that
would ordinarily require the services
of surveyor. The Chinaman works
so well and so cheap that he would
soon drive out all white labor it no
restrictions were imposed on imml-
grafton. 1t would require much
space to set forth n complete list oi
superiority over the usual hired help
of the farm.-Irrigation Age.

Coughs ana Their c ure.

There are few disorders more teas
ing to the sufferer and to those
about him than a cough, writes Ellis
abeth Robinson Scovil in the second
of her series of articles on Life in
the Invalid 5 Room" in the May
Ladies Home journal. A slight
hacking cough is often "a bad habit;
when it is at all under the control o.
the viii il should be sternly repressed
Sometimes The uvula, the pendulous
part of the soft palate, at the back OF
the mouth, becomes relaxed, the point
touches the tongue, producing "a tick
ling sensation, which requires IA cough
to relieve it. A little dry fannie acid
put in a quill and blown on the uvula
will contract it or half teaspoonful
of the powder mixed with two tea
spoonfuls of glycerine, stirred into
half a glass of warm water and used
as gargle.
When a cold has been taken and
there is a cough with soreness of the
chest, bed should be prescribed for
fear of a severe attack of bronchitis.
Soak the feet in a pail of hot water
IN which is dissolved three teaspoon
fuls of mustard, and rub the chest
with warm camphorated oil.

A New Order of Voices.

80 many young women waste time
and money in laboring to sing, when
singing well is entirely beyond them,
that it is a pity they do not occupy
themselves more profitably in train
ing themselves to speak properly.
writes Junius Henri Browne in an
artical on "The Voices of American
Women in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. Not many lessons would be
required to make their voices smooth.
even agreeable, as we see in the cases
of young women who have been pre-
pared tor the stage. There is no rea-
son why American women of average
intelligence, Notwithstanding nerves
and climate, should offend by their
harsh tones. The day is not distant.
let us hope, when the number will be
reduced to IA minimum. The coming
century will, in all likelihood, not
only see a new order of things, but
hear new order of voices that it will
be pleasant to listen to.
Why French Canadians EmIgrate.
The French Canadian is not a good
farmer IN the modern sense. He does
not renew his lands, nor is he partial
to new methods. Moreover, he is
not enterprising. II he must quit
the ancestral domain, he prefers to
go to the city, where he can find en-
ployment in a factory or workshop.
He is Industrious. sober, frugal, and
skillful, most excellent mechanic, a
cunning carpenter, and faithful and
cOntented subordinate. He leaves
the country because he has heard
from his compatriots, who have gone
before him, that he can do better in
the States.
His taxes are heavy, and his oppor-
tunities Of making enough to pay
them and to maintain himself and
his family in comfort, are small. The
cure is good to him, but the church
and the presbytery are too big and
the school-house is too small. 1t
may be that some of his children will
receive the meagre education fur
nished by the parochial schools, but
he cannot hope that all will be in
structed, and it is quite possible that
none may be lucky enough to have
any schooling. In the States things
are so much better that Jacques,
who used to live on the next farm,
but who is now working in a mill at !
Lowell, comes back once a year to
visit his brother, decked with a chain, |
with a velvet waistcOat, his wife |
wearing a silk dress, while all his |
children are at school. So the bur
dened Canadian goes away, and |
there is another voter lost and an
other parishioner less.-"A Discon-
