SCRANTON. NAY 9, 1894,

"IT IS A FATAL mistake" says the
New York Tribune, "for business men
to lose courage in dull times and to
imagine that trade iS so bad that it is
useless to attempt to work it up by
commanding run nlic attention through
legitimate advertising expedients. 1t
is the concurrent testimony of all the
most energetic merchants in trade
that the returns from advertising
were never more direct and speedy
than during the present year of de-
preston. The foolish angler is the
one who casts aside his rod when the
cry is raised that the fish will not bite.
The wise fisherman knows that there
is good sport 80 long as there are fish
in the pond, and catches them and fills
his basket by batting the hook care
fully and casting his line where the
water seems stillest."

MADOG,
Man or Myth ?

Before the Oneida Historical society,
Of Utica. N Y, Elitor Benjamin f.
Lewis. OF Y Drych, recently read an
interesting paper giving facts and
fables As TO the tradition, long cher
ished in Cymry. that Msdog, son OF
Owain Gwynedd, prince who ruled in
North Wales from 1877 to 1869, was
the first real discoverer and colonizer
Of the North American continent, occu-
Dving position midway between Lief
Ericsson, who touched what ia now the
Massachusetts shore quite by accident
in the eleventh century, leaving little
evidence OF his momentary landing, and
Christopher Colon, otherwise Colum-
bus. who sighted the new world in
1892, The tradition has il that upon
his fathers death Madog. disgusted at
the disssnsions among mis- brothers, set
ont with three small ships to find a
new home. After some tims he re-
turned with such glowing accounts of
the result Of his quest that another ex-
petition was fitted out, containing ten
ships and 300 countrymen. All that is
known is that this hotlla went west
ward, passing Ireland to the north.
The tradition has 1t that Madog's frat
discovery OF America was in 1860; and
that, four years later. he recrossed the
Atlantic with eighteen ships and 5000
countrymen and took possession of ths
throne and kingdom Of Mexico, giving
birth to the Aztec race and explaining
the existence on American soil of pale
hued Indian tribes who spoke a dialect
said to resemble Welsh.
The great contention has been as to
whether this tradition was current in
Wales before the life of Columbus
We now quote from Mr.. Lewis ad.
dress:
Those who take the affirmative view re-
fer to confrmative expressions found in
the poems o. these contemporary bards,
Cynddelw, Llywsrch alb Llewelyn and
Gwalchmai, tut the meaning given to
these quotations is disputed BY those who
take the negative side. The next refer
eDce to Madog is by Meredith ap Rhys, a
bard who flourished between l43O and
1477 and he unquestionably refers to
Madog alb Owain Gwynedd as n rover OF
the seas. In his ''Traves," published in
1884 Sir Thomas Herbert refers to a

When silver was denonctized in 1877:

the cheaper metal; that is to say. the
silver dollar was worth more than the
gold dollar. This Is fact worth bear.
ing in mind when you hear gold mono
metallists sneering At the cheapness oi
silver. This cheapness did not begin
to appear until the law began to dis
criminate against silver and in favor o,

With es5. 900. 900 OF free money there

somewhat Of its hcxibility, whereas II
it be put into bonds the bonds pay In.
terest and Mt the same time are always
marketable in every moncyed center in

These men. in their greed and selfish
ness, do not remember or care to re-
member that these bonds, principal and
interest, have to be paid by the small
Taxpayers, the bone and sincw OF the
nation So long as they can use them
for their own purposes they are per-
fectly Indifferent MS to who may have
to foot the bill They can see profit

they close their eyes TO everything else.
There is another point i'm this conncc-
tion. The ostcnsiblc purpose OF u bond
issue is to put gold into the national
treasury; but who can guarantee its
remaining thercP The Same drain will
exist which exists now. only 1t will be
increased in all probability by Hnan-
cial legislation. Then when the gold
is gone there will be demand for more

for the moment, may appear to be the
most popular; but, as Senator Allison
