THE CURRENCY BILL.

WAsHINToN, Dec. 19.-Debste on the currency pill continued uninterrupted in the house today. Messrs. Johnson, repu blican, of Indiana, and Ellis, dem oc'at, of Kentucky, opposed it, and MT Warner, democrat, of New York sup ported it. The speech of Ellis was of & rather sensational character and the applause it received from the free silver democrats indicated plainly the un- alterable opposition of the silver men of the house to the Carlisle plan. MT. Bland, the silver leader, gave notice that he would offer his free silver bill as a substitute for the bill.

STRONG OPPOSITION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-An exec ption- ally strong opposition to the Carlisle currency bill is disclosed by the list of those who have asked to speak CD the measure. Two lists have been made, one of the members of the banking com-
 mittee who wish to be heard, and the other for members not on the committee The committee list shows that the members are divided on party lines, ex- cept Representative Ellis, democrat, of Kentucky, who has asked for time to speak against the bill. The other list shows fourteen members who will speak for the bill and thirty against it. Of the thirty against it sixteen are democrats.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Popularity Called the "Old Lady OF
Threadneedle Street"
The Most Important Banking Institution
In tho World-Tounded in the Year
1894 to Help Out the Bankrupt
GoverDmsnt.

Just what the irregularities" are
that have lately put the credit of the
Bank OF England in question will per-
haps never be precisely known to the
general public. 1.-THE Old Lady of
Threadneedle Street" is not telling
the public any more about her affairs
than she has to, and beyond the an.
nouncement that the cashier, Mr..
Frank May. has been compelled to re-
sign because Of the banks dissatisfac-
tion with his way of doing business,
the public is told nothing. Even the
conservative and reticent Times Of
London doesn't quite like this phase
of the matter and urgently advised the
bank authorities to make known ex-
actly on what basis the compromising
runors rested
The bank, which, says the Illus
trated American, is the most impor-
tant in the world, was projected by
William Paterson and was incor-
porated July 81. 1904. It was consti-
tuted as a joint-stock association, with
capital of a1.2O0,o 900, which was let
at eight per cent interest to the gov
ernment of William and Mary, at the
time in state of embarrassment. At
its very outset, therefore, the Bank of
England was a servant Of the govern
ment; and it has retained this charac-
ter, but in diminishing degree,
through all the stages Of its subse-
quent history. At first the charter
Of the bank was for eleven years only;

but in consequence of the great serv.
ices Of the institution to the govern.
ment, its charter has been at various
times renewed. The last renewal was
in 1874, and the charter of that year
still subsists, It's terms being subject
to modification or revocation by the
legislature at pleasure.
BY tho act or charter of 1874, the
band was divided into two departments
tho issue and the banking. What
led to the division was this: It was
supposed that, when a foreign drain
of gold from England set in, it would,
if the currency or circulation in this
country had been purely metallic, have
produced contraction Of the circula-
ton, and a consequent fall Of prices.
and, as an ultimate result, the cessa-
sation Of the drain. 1t was further
supposed that banks could issue their
notes to any extent they pleased; that
their excessive issues increased the
currency, and therefore increased
prices, which in their turn led to for
eign drains; and that. on the occasions
of these drains, the continued issues
prevented the natural and desirable
contraction of the circulation, and ag-
gravated the commercial convulsions
occurring at such periods The obiec.
of the act Of 1874 was to prevent issues
of notes beyond a certain amount, un.
less against an equal amount of gold
held by the issuing bank, SO that the
mixed currency of notes and coin might
thus expand and contract like self.
acting metallic currency, Experience,
however, has shown that when these
foreign drains occur the gold exported
is taken Chiefly from the reserves in the
Bank of England, being payments Of
deposits or loans by the bank; and tha,
the amount Of notes in the hands OF
the public has not been affected by the
legislation of 1874.
In practice, whenever there are signs
Of a foreign drain, and the reserve OF
the bank is diminishing. the bank
counteracts the tendency to drain by
raising the rate of discount and re-
stricting its loans; tbs purchasing
power of the public is thereby limited,
and prices kept down; and, at the time,
gold is attracted TO this country for
investment The circulation is in real
ity not interfered with
1t was also intended by the act of
1894 to add To the security Of bank notes
by insuring a supply of gold to meet
the payment OF them at all times.
But the solvcncy OF the Bank of Eng
land is undoub bted: and its notes would
at any time be taken as gold This
intended effect OF the act of ls4i,
and the supplementary act of isi5, has
in the case of the notes Of other banks
been hitherto inappreciable-

BEES IN INDIA.

Serious Obstacles to Hunting In the Terai
Forest.
Among the living things of the Terai
forest were some that we could very
well have dispensed with-the bees, to.
wit. Ordinarily they were harmless
enough, or, at the worst, only became
aggressive when their hives were dis
turbed, but then, as many hives were
attached to low branches of the denser
cover or to the trailing cane, it was NO
extraordinary occurrence for the ele.
plants, in beating a jungle, to very
much disturb several families of these
insects, and then it was often enough
a case of sauve qui peut.sx
For time during one, if not two, OF
my Terai expeditions, the bees did not
wait for any provocation whatever;
they swarmed down from their hives
in the upper branches of trees, and at.
tackled us simply because we were in
sight; and some trees carried hives
(black and crawling on the surface,
and each three or four feet in aepth)
enough to set up an extensive apiary,
say from twenty to thirty, One day
they fairly beat us out of the field.
Jacky Hills, Combe Benson, and ]
were carried off in different directions,
and by singular consensus of opin.
ion we came together again, not at the
cover-side, but in our camp. That day
the bees would not leave us alone;
wherever we went one lot of attackers
followed, or a new lot relieved them

at the last national election the people
of the country denounced with near
err approach to unanimity than any
party has attained in years There is
dissatisfaction because some of the
servants of the people at Washington
are not complying with the orders
they have received from tho Sc who are
the real rulers of the country. and
there has been an expression of resent
ment.
But all this does not go to the root of
the matter. Men do not abandon a
creed because some of those protesting
it prove unworthy, nor do they surren-
der political convictions because some
of those whom they have trusted prove
recreant. The evils of protective
tariff are as great as they ever were,
and at no previous time have their dis
astrous effects been SO apparent. The
menace to a sound and honest financial
system was never more aggressive than
it now is. The wrath of the people
will he visited upon those who have
betrayed them, not upon the principles
which they indorse or the party which
is committed to the support of such
principles. Republicans are united by
the cohesive power of plumber and have
no higher purpose than to be in power.
Democracy is the party of independent
thought, and when it expresses indig-
nation at men or methods it has no
thought of abandoning the great work
of reform on which the safety of the
government depends. - Detroit Free

Facts About Postare stamp,.

Postage stamps. stamped envelopes
and postal cards are now all made by
contract. none of the work being done
in Washington. At each factory in
spectors are stationed, who must exer-
else strict oversight of the whole bust
ness, from the taking in of the blank
paper to the sending out of the finished
product upon acquisitions from post
masters, all of which pass through
the department at Washington. Every
sheet of paper must be accounted for,
and if a single stamp be imperfect or
imperfectly printed the whole sheet
containing the defective stamp must
be sent to Washington for examination
and destruction. From three to five
millions of stamps are thus sent to
Washington every week, where they
are carefully counted, checked off and
burned.-Blue and Gray.

Republican Lies.

Every intelligent person knows that
for the past two years the republican
newspapers of the country, almost
without exception, have been asserting
that the public debt was decreased
under Harrison by a much larger
amount than under Cleveland. The
amount usually given is s75, OO0.O 600. If
any correspondent questions and asks
for the figures he is given those of a
bonded debt, the republican editor
paying no attention to the increase in
the unbonded debt This erroneous
statement has been reiterated so often
that there is no republican. and hardly
a democrat, who has not accepted it as
true. 1t is useless to show a republic
an that he has been lied to. Lies are
his daily food. But there is no reason
at the present time, when he is not ex-
cited over political matters, why he
should not have a little truth thrown
at him. and the proof that the public
debt was decreased under Cleveland
$62, 600, 900 more than under Harrison
made so plain that the next time he as
serts the contrary it will give him .
pain in the neck.-N. Y. World

a BREEDER OF RIOTS.
american Iaborers Damaged by the Pro
lection Policy.

American Iaborers Damaged by the Pro.
lection Policy.
Perhaps there is no more serious men,
ace to American institutions than Is to
be found in the conditions prevailing
in the mining district of Pennsylvania.
where the late riots have thrown an
extensive community into state OF
terror and almost of anarchy. The
latest phase of the strike is that the
Huns and Slavs accuse the Irish and
Germans of having worked up the riots
in order to create prejudice against the
former. and thus secure their expulsion
from the region. Thus the conflict is
seen to be one in which foreign pcpu-
lations fight out their national differ
ences.
Under our high protective system we
have carefully excluded the product OF
the ''pauper" labor OF Europe, but we
have thrown wide our gates to the
paupers themselves, and the American
laborer has no protection against the
competition of class of men whose
antecedents and native surroundings
render them dangerous to free institu-
tons, as well as incapable of properly
assuming the responsibilities of Ameri-
can citizenship. The Poles, the Huns,
the Italians, the Russian Jews come
among us and establish their own COM
munities. They drive out the Amer
lean laborer, because they are accus-
toned to live more meanly than he,
and will work for less wages than he.
The protectionists who hire them pre-
tend that their object in asking protec-
ton is chiefly to make wages higher.
and Tom Reed, of Maine, who is the
spokesman of this party. announces a
new school of political economy which
makes wages the measure of a coun-
try's prosperity; because, he says. un-
less wages are high. wage-earners win
not spend much money. That is the
whole argument offered by him Yet
in the most highly protected region Of
the United States labor riots are Of
more frequent occurrence than any
where else in the land, and these riots
are invariably the work Of pauper
Europeans, who have come here to be
employed by the men whose solicitude
for the wages of labor does not prevent
