Twelve inches the depth I proposed. and no more.
And to hold In ale gallons seven less than a score.

But when he had done It he found It too scant
Ho altered It then. but too big he now made 1t,
For though 1t held right the diameter failed 1t:
Thus making It often too big and too little.
The tinker at last quite spoiled his kettle;
But he vows he will bring his said promise tC

Or he'll utterly spoil every ounce OF his brass.

The diameter's length. for he'll ne'er dot, doubt.

In answer to a correspondent,
Senator Hoard, in the Montevideo
Leader, defines seigniorage as fol-
lows: r. .......- ~.....
Seigniorage, therefore may be said
to be the difference between the coin
age value of the bullion and it's cost:
It has nothing to do with the price of
silver now, or at any time when the
government is not buying silver and
the expression looming a vacuum
that the goldites are so fond of apply
ing to it, does not apply in any respect
whatever. The seigniorage is a posi-
tive quantity and represents the profits
on transactions that are completed and
closed. The vacuum exist largely
in the heads of those who are trying to
coin expressions rather than money,
and who use words to conceal ideas and
convictions.

Congressional Morality


There is popular notion that a polit-
ical life is corrupting to social as well as
commercial morals. One at all acquaint-
ed with Washington must have heard
the statement banded about commonly
that the official atmosphere of Washing
ton is morally the most corrupt in this
country. Sweeping assertions are con-
stantly made concerning the private lives
of members Of congress that would turn
their constituents hair gray if these con-
stituents could hear the tales just as they
are told at the capital.
Most of the stories of debauchery and
shame are false or exaggerated. Un-
doubtedly a majority of our national
representatives and senators are moral,
clean men, living above the plane of po-
litical and social corruption. Whatever
may be said to the contrary, this is GER
tainly true.
But while this is the case, and intelli-
gent people throughout America know
it to be the case, the appalling self con-
fessed degradation Of the congressman
on trial at Washington cannot help
tainting more or less the good name Of
all members of that body. They owe it
to themselves and the American people
to cleanse and purify the moral reputa-
tion of the national legislature. They
owe it to the outraged moral sense Of
civilization to speak out in no uncertain
tones against this phase of Washington
morals. They owe it to the world to set
themselves right on this point, and moth
ing less will be accepted from them.
The private character Of a congressman
is a matter that does concern his constit-
uents.
This nation is made up of respectable
people, who reverence morality and clean
living. The great majority themselves
live clean lives. They will not submit
to be represented in congress by those
who live otherwise. While they hang
their heads in shame at the awful dis
grace that has come upon the American
people at Washington, they are learning
from it a lesson. It is that in the future
no man shall be elected to congress
whose life is not clear and open page
The world is not very good yet, but it
has advanced to that stage where fla
grant immortality and RIGHTEOUSNESS will
no longer be tolerated in the peoples rep
| resentatives. ....

timated that he was ready to favor
such a law if congress would make
it an object for him to do So.
Like the woman of easy virtue he
haggles over the price and holds
out for better bid. He intimates
very broadly that for the royal
privilege of issuing interest bear
ing bonds such as his Wall street
hackers are so anxious to specu-
late in, he would set aside his high
moral convictions and permit a
seigniorage coming act to become

A political economist reads in the gov
eminent report that the number of hogs
fattened in this country is less by 6,000,-
600 than it was two years ago. The
shrinkage began in 1892 and extended
into 1898. The diminution was 5000, 900
on the average for both years.. The econ
omist argues from this that there were
fewer hogs fattened because there was
less corn to feed them on, there being
less corn because more of it was used
for food by the increasing human popu-
lation. The economist is wrong. There
have been fewer hogs fattened the past
few years because SO many farmers went
out Of the pig business almost altogether.
The price of pork was SO low that they
became disguised and sold off their stock
Then suddenly, when there were only a
few hogs left, comparatively, the price
went up with a bang; farmers were
caught short and caught mapping as
we'll. It requires two or three years to
replenish the stock and get the supply
back where it was before the reign of
good prices began. And this is why
fewer hogs were fattened in 1923. =.
