A Liederkranz Concert.

With the development OF musical culture the
Intellectual side Of the art becomes ever moro
and more prominent That is to say. the aim
OF those skilled powers who cater to public
pleasure aim at public improvement also.
And with this growing knowledge on the part
OF audiences performances OF works OF the
highest class and greatest difficulty become
not only possible. but absolutely required.
No longer do tame melodies and sweet
seductive strains satisfy listeners. The his
tory OF music as an art interests peo-
pie, tn. comparison OF styles aud methods
IN composition is sought after. And thus 1t
happens that programmes made up OF tho
writings OF one composer are offered at con-
cert. or that Illustrations Of the same theme
by a variety OF composers are given. At tho
concert OF the Liederkranz last evening, the
second OF ,his season; the Loem; one OF tho
braied Gosthps Faust n SG ased T wa n Sss

programme. There were extracts from tho

but perhaps the selections from Berlioz were
most piquant and clever-we mean tho H.

thinker as Ricardo said that going to gold

was only matter OF three per cent difference
between BanK Of England notes and gold He
lived long enough. however. to discover and
acknowledge his mistake. lie did not take into
account the change that m ust take place in the
value OF gold itself consequent upon the COM
petition for gold that would follow the resump-
ton OF specie payments by England and other
countries that had displaced gold by tho issue
OF inconvertible paper The three per cent
difference proved TO be insignificant as com
pared with the change that took place in the
value OF gold itself
So now II is generally Assunned that already
we are on gold basis that the money stand
ard IL settled at last for Europe and the
United States. at least and that as soon as
confidence is restored prices will become set
tied and business be established on a sure
foundation. But are we sure that the gold
tasis' under the conditions that exist now, il
any surer than IL was in 1892
As during the resum ption period following
the Napoleonic wars the competition for gold
and Its redistribution over Europe changed
the level OF gold the world over: in like man
ner will not the new com petition for gold. con-
sequent upon tho exclusion OF silver from
money supply for India and the United States
and the extension Of the single gold standard
to Austria-Iungary. change the gold level to
as great an extent ne the change in the early
part OF the century. or rs that which resulted
from the act OF 1873? The extent Of the APP
probation OF gold under these new conditions
cannot be foretold; but the changes made in
the monetary situation during 1893 have been
the greatest in the worlds history and have
added more than $50. 600. 900 OF people to the
number Heretofore competing for gold for
money supply. which cannot otherwise than
materially affect the value OF gold the world
