pyramid is reversed, with the apex at

The load of credit resting on gold
must be greatly reduced to correspond
with the gold standard, and that is the
process now going on, which has pro-
duced the current financial squeeze .
and TO which the authors of the ruin
point as an "object lesson"
The hope of relief by increasing
debts, or issuing more currency redeem
able in gold, is vain. The imitation of
prices, by issuing paper redeemablein
gold, without gold for redemption,
must end in panic and collapse. 1t
would be like attempting a permanent
cure of delirium tremens by an in
creased indulgence in strong drink.
The grasp of gold contraction can only
be temporarily relieved by credit de-
vices, as patient is sometimes revived
when suffering from the effects of al
cholism, by cocktail in the morning,
only to be sunk to till lower depth of
depression by the inevitable reaction
later in the day.
The alternative :of scientific money,
of material other than gold and silver,
or the restoration of the automatic
theory, is presented to the creditor
class. The revolution which they have
inaugurated to destroy the automatic
theory, must either be arrested by the
restoration of silver, or by the inven-
ton and establishment of better sys-
tenn.
The preliminary effects of the gold
standard contraction have paralyzed
enterprise and destroyed the prospect
of future credits. It is now destroying
existing obligations, and when it's dead
" work shall have been fully accomp-
lished all bonded debts will have been
liquidated by reputation and bank
ruptcy. If blind greed is to be the only
guide of the money powers in the fu-
ture, as it has been in the past, the
| horrors of universal ruin and the dis
organization of society may be realized
before the work of reconstruction can
| De begun. Inc nope SGlIl eXlSGS InaI
there is still sufficient intelligence in
the masses to direct their dormant en-
ergies in a mighty effort to break the
chains of contraction with which fraud
and avarice have bound the limbs of
enterprise. If this hope can be reali-
zed, the civilization of the next cen
fury will escape the abyss of degrade
ton and want in which all preceding
civilizations have persisted Senator

Thwarted Lovers.

The strangest test of will power and
endurance ever made, said a resident
of the city of Mexico to a GIobe-Demo-
GRAFT man, was in Mexico, the charac-
ters participating being a Mexican girl
and an American man. They we're
lovers, and the girls parents refused
their consent to any union, insisting
that she should marry wealthy Mexi-
can sutton. At the suggestion of the
girl they agreed to die together, and to
test the strength and endurance of
each others love they chose a means of
suicide unlike any ever dreamed of be-
fore. Food and fruit were placed on a
table in the center of a room occupied
by both, the girl having escaped from
her home. but being unwilling to eIopef
with her lover. It was agreed that they
should starve to death with plenty be-
fore them, and should either succumb
to nature and partake of the food then
both we're released from the bond Of
death, but there should be an everlast-
ing separation. For u days they en-
dured the pangs of hunger without
murmur or thought of wavering from
their purpose to die together. The
twelfth day the father of the girl dis
covered her whereabouts, and, break
lug the door, they we're carried out, too
faint to stand alone. It took them sew
eral days to recover their strength, and
when they did they we're married.

re BOND scheme.

The country is now fully launched
upon debt-creating period. Five per
cent bonds are to be sold, redeemable
at any time after 10 years. They are to
be sold at a premium which would
make the actual interest on the pro-
ceeds for 10 years equivalent to per
cent or less. They aret be sold for gold
only. The amount offered for sale at the
outset is 100000. If asked where the
gold is to come from with which to buy
them it would be safe to reply that it
can be obtained at the treasury OF the
United States. The philanthropists
who are eagerly bidding against one
another for the privilege of replenish-
ing the reserve by the purchase of these
bonds have only to make up purse of
s59,OO0,OOO in greenbacks or Sherman
notes, and present them at the sub
treasury in New York for redemption
They will Immediately receive $59,OO0,-
600 in gold out of the s74,OO0,0OO now
held in reserve in the treasury for re-
demption purposes. The gold thus
drawn out of7 the treasury can be I'M
mediately paid back for $50O00O00 of
the bonds at 118. The government will
then be in debt s5O,OO0,O 900 without hav-
ing increased the gold reserve to the
extent of a single dollar. There is no
obstacle to an indefinite REPETITION of
this performance so long as any capital
can be found to invest itself in bonds.
| AS the bonds are to be sold for gold
only, and as gold Gamble obtained at
the treasury more easily than from any
other source, purchasers will hardly
spend time in looking elsewhere. When
Mr.. Carlisle shall have sold his $50,
100000 of bonds for $4,000 600, drawn
out of the reserve which he is repleni-
shing, the treasury will stand exactly
as it does today, and there will be just
the same reason why another s50,OO0,-
600 should be sold as that by which he
is now governed.

BLESSED BE NOTHING.

Rev. Talmage says 'that Christ never
owned anything during his earthly
stay. His cradle and his grave were
borrowed. Every fig he ate was from
some one else's tree. Every drop of
water he drankwas from some one else's
well. To pay his personal tax, which
was very small, only 3114 cents, he had
to perform a miracle and make fish
pay it. All the heights and depths and
lengths and breadths of poverty Christ
measured in his earthly experience"
Well, it strikes US that it is mighty
good thing for him that he never struck
this country. Just think, if he we're to
visit the state Of New Hampshire, that
state which boasts of the piety of it's
people, the number of it's churches,
and how it fought seven long years for
liberty, and all that sort of stuf-just
think Of it! In tn at state at this pres
ent moment they have tramp law
with penalty fixed at Is months i'm
prisonment. Dives was sent down to
hell because he would do no better
than let Lazarus eat the crumbs that
fell from his table; while now in New
Hampshire they would send Lazarus
to Jail for even asking for the privilege
of eating those crumbs. According to
the light Of sacred history, we would
advise that whenever they come to
array a New Hampshire man in his
burial robes, they would do well to put
his summer clothes on.-Ottawa Jour

Some very shrewd tactics are being
used to work up sentiment in congress
in favor Of abrogating all existing
treaties with what are known as the
five civilized tribes Of Indians and the
admission of Indian Territory as a sep
arate state or as a part Of Oklahoma.
The fact that there are more white peo-
pie than Indians in the territory is
made the most Of, but nothing is said
Of the fact that these whites went there
of their own free will, knowing that the
Indian laws of the territory would not
allow them to become citizens. The
Dawes commission, appointed by
President Cleveland to negotiate with
these Indians with a view to their alb
andoning their present tribal relations
dividing their land in severality, etc.
is helping those who are working the
state idea, by telling the Indians that
whether they agree or not congress is
going to legislate them into citizens
and their territory into a state. No
wonder an Indian, now in Washington,
said when he heard that statement,
''Then why was the commission ap-
pointed7 It is not a negotiation when
one side is given no choice as to what
must be agreed to-"

: HERE is bit of history concerning
the issue OF bonds: In February 1888,
Secretary Foster sent what is known as
"fush'' order for the engraving of
new-bond plates to the bureau of en-
craving and printing, but before the
plates were entirely completed work
was stopped on them. In April 1898,
Secretary Carlisle ordered that the
plates be at once: completed and that
several changes be-. made in them.
That was done, and when onl Jan. II,
1894, Secretary Carlisle decided fully
upon the bond issue it only remained
to engrave the date on the plates and
to change the words "semi-annualIy'
into quarterly" in the interest section
of the bonds. The first shipment of the
new bonds was forwarded to New York.
