THE GOLD STANDARD.
Ito Evils set Forth In mn Able Nnnncr-sl-
Moro stable Than Gold.

ver Nor, stable Than Gold.
There is no greater source of wealth
In the United States than cereal crops
The line OF value has tended To fall
farther and farther below that of crop
production. For instance, in 1878
though the crop production was 80 per
cent greater than in ISIS, il sold for
two per cent less money. In iSSs,
which is the last year for which statls-
tics are given, the crop was l0e per
cent. aboya that of 1873. but IL sold at
an increase OF only ~ per cent
What has caused the falling away in
tho line OF valucp The value. OF the
crop Is the product of Tho quantity by
the price in gold. With the increasing
scarcity OF gold there has necessarily
been q diminishing price.
Silver production, however, tells n
different story. 1t will be seen TINT
silver production keeps approximate
pace with the production of cereal
crops. II our money needs grow At the
same rate as farm produce, then silver
and not gold furnishes the normal sup
ply There In as much reason for an
outcry against an ovcrproductiou OF
cereals as OF silver, for both increase
Mt the samo rate.
Notwithstanding the increased cot
ton production, in nearly every year
the crop has sold for actually less than
did the crop of 1878. In 1890, for in
stance. though tho crop was almost
double that of 1873 /. sold for only three
per cent. more, and in the succeeding
year, though there was an increase of
IS per cent In crop production, the sell
Ing value increased only Is per cent
There is the Same striking parallelism
between cotton production and silver
production, showing in like manncr
That silver, and not gold, furnishes the
natural and stable money metal.
As measured by the gold standard,
silver and wheat have steadily and quite
uniformity declined in price. Silver
stood ut Si.o0t when denonitized in
lSs;L and in 1892 had fallen to .614. The
trnparary effect of tho Sherman law
Il 1890 is plainly shown. Wheat
I ,hol the 100 mark In 1874 at 81. 43
bushcl, reached its lowest point in
1929 at IS per cent Of the base price, or
81 cents per bushcl The course of the
twenty staple commodities is instruct
i've. II reveals where the "hard times"
have coma in. II is significant that
these commodities also have shared the
downfall of silver.
An clitorial in the June Century de-
nics the appreciation OF gold and claims
that the fall Of prices has been due TO
improved methods OF production and
distribution. II IS impossible to wholly
disprovo n statement that Is partially
true. No doubt improved methods
OF production have lowered the prices

kaPOLEOk'S HATS.
EXISTING Relics OF the Great French EN-

Careful inquiry mas led to tho discov-
cry that there are no fewer than nine
of Napoleon LIS hats still in existence.
4 writer in The Vie Con ten. poraiuc
gives list Of them. One is in the pos
session of Mime. Claitte, whose grand
father. Gen. Giraud, picked it up at
Marcngo. At Il critical moment Bona
partc started OFF ut n gallop. and the

stop to pick It mp.
Another of the hats says the London
Daily News, is in little crypt beside
Napolcon's tomb ut the Invalidcs.
This was worn on the 9Th, sth and 9th
of February, 1907, at'Eylau. and it is
the identical one represented in the
colossal picture of the battle by Gros.
to be seen in the Louvre. During the
peace which succeeded the battle Gros
was commissioned to paint the picture,
and in order that the figure of the en-
peror might be faithfully depicted the
hat was given 10 the painter.
At the death OF Gros in 1895 it was
found under q glass case upon
wooden stand. and it was sold by auc-
tion among the painters effects for
two Thousand and foriy-scvcn francs
fifty confines to DIR. DclacroiN, who
presented it to Louis Philippe. The
latter, after the famous second funeral
OF Napoleon, ordered it to be placed be-

There il no medicine so often
needed in every home and so adj
mirably adapted to the purposes
for which il is intended, as Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. Hardly week
passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache
or headache may be cured by 1t, a
touch of rheumatism or neuralgia
quieted, the severe pain of a burn
or scald promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated
before the inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm Is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured
before il becomes serious, a lame
back relieved and several days of
valuable time saved, or pain in the
side or chest cured without pay ing
n doctors bill. Procure a Soc bottle
at once and you will never regretit.

The result Is due in part to the finan-

1t was also in part due to the delay oi

that the business conditions OF the
