A GREAT TRUTH.

Mr.. John n. Lorimer, of Philadel-
phia, writes letter to the "Ameri-
can" of that city, in which he says:
ut may be accepted as true that
the level of civilization is measured
by the consuming power of a people,
and that cheapness does not increase
this consuming power, but that, on
the contrary. the ultimate analysis of
chedpness Is begga,V.'"
This should always be remembered.
1t is great truth. The men of 177e
did not fight Great Britain, for eight
years, to establish a nation for the
glory and advancement of money
Their object was free men;-prosper-
Gus. happy, educated, progressive, free
men. 1t was not money that
bled and died to achieve our liber-
ties. 1t was men. Money was the
least part of the whole business. Such
currency as they had was continental
notes, non-lega[tender paper money ,
printed on wrapping paper, as ragged
as the troops; and so cheap that a
thousand dollars would scarcely buy a
breakfast. That which made US ma
tion was the willingness of heoric
men to take British bullets in their
breasts and die that republic might
live.
The whole bat tie of the Plutocrats
to reduce mankind on this continent
to European CHI eapness is in direct
conflict with the spirit of 1776; and
the men who are engaged in it are all
of them representatives. Of the Tories
OF the Revolution, and should be so
called by every one. They are not on
ly deadly enemies of liberty but of
prosperity as we'll; for cheap men are
poor men, and poor men are men with
little capacity to consume the produc-
tions of others. Their wants are
limited by their means. These
United States were, up to 1873, the
most prosperous region in the world,
because liberty and fair play had de-
veloped the most advanced cultured
race in the world, whose wants were
as infinite as those of princes. To
break down the great body of this
heroic people to wretchedness, to en-
1ICn ACW ACuS MOSUly AOISlSucTS, VI
another race,is the most cruel and un-
just conspiracy ever known in this
world since God created it.
These United States produce every
year enough to give every one dwelling
in them an abundant income and an
eventual provision for old age:-but
three-fourth of it are stolen from
those who produce it, by the cunning
of those who produce nothing. The
Peoples Party is an attempt to en-
ploy consta bles to arrest the thieves
and protect the property Of the pro-
ducerS; but up to this time the ma
jority of the producers are trying to
drive away the constables and well
come the thieves, because the thieves
are well-dressed and carry banners
with attractive notices upon them.
Don't lose your temper; but try to
reason with those who are still in the
darkness. They mean right. Pro-
gress is simply a question of educa-
tiOn.

Usury is the sting, the sharp dagger
point, of the power of money to OPP
press. 1t is the impelling force in all
the conquests of the purse, and in all
the misuses Of money. It is the pow
er behind the missile at distance.
It is the carbine and the swords edge
of the financial cavalry engagements,
and the merciless bayonet charge
which routs poor men from their
homes, turning them and their fami-
lies loose on society as burdensome
and dangerous tramps. No reforma-
tion of our money system can be COM
plete and permanent while usury is not
destroyed. This theory is not new.
1t is old as history, and true as holy
writ, verified by the experiences of
mankind and the deductions of logic.

Why wouldn't it be good idea for
all the I6 to silver men, of both the

Well that is what they propose to

A Book Warning.

Be careful what you write in your
books, if you do not want your heirs or
administrators to make unkind remarks
about you. An old book chaser, just
home from Chicago, relates an in
stance in which trouble was created by
a man who thoughtlessly marked his
collection of books in a peculiar man
ner. He owned large library, and, as
he had probably suffered from borrow
ers and purloiners, he stamped with in
delible ink on the one hundredth page
Of every volume on his shelves: "Stol-
en- from George e. Hord." In due time
death and the mutations Of fortune
brought this library to the hammer and
the secondhand shops; but, owing to
the accusatory phrase on the one hun
dredth page Of each book, they were
sold with difficulty, and brought al
most no price whatever-Louisville

WE OWE EUROPEANS.
Exports Do Not Equal These Debts,
Hence the Shipments
of Gold.

New York, Nov. 16.-The shipments of
gold this week aggregated $3,261, 600.
The shipments eXerted no weakening in
f1uence upon sterling exchange rates and
it is currently believed that an intermit-
tent outward movement of the precious
metal will now occur. The two larger
shippers this week are known to have
made their engagements reluctantly, but
were compelled to send the gold to fulfill
their mercantile obligations. The street
expects that at least as much gold will
be shipped next week.
Treasury officials admit that all present
indications point to further exports from
week to week, but profess to believe
that the volume will be limited to the
amounts necessary to cover the deficiency
at present is light. They expect that
the amount of gold to go out will be COM
paratively light until after the Christmas
holidays. What will happen afterward
they do not care to discuss. The uncer-
tainty as to the outcome has re-directed
attention to the condition of the foreign
exchanges and inquiry is again excited
as to the cause of the gold exports.
Without dwelling upon the interchange
of railway securities incidental to the
crisis in African mining shares, the gist
of the matter is very simple. The
AHleFlcuu peOplc owe luOHSy W Du-
rope. On account of these debts. our
exports of merchandise are duly credited.
If, however. these exports are insuffi-
cient in value to meet the requirements,
gold must be sent in settlement of the
balance.
The October statement of our foreign
trade. published today shows that while
our exports increased to a small extent
our imports of merchandise were greatly
swelled, the result being that the bal
ance of trade in our favor, which in De-
tober. 1894, was $23, $685. 135, is this year
$11, 960,93S For ten months ending Oc-
tober 81. 1895, the excess of imports over
exports was $31, 1919. as compared
with an excess of exports over imports
in the corresponding period in 1894 of
$685. 1863. 1t is therefore not surpris-
ing that gold goes out.

A Russian Story.

Mr.. Barry, in his work on Russia in
1870, tells story Of the time when
slavery was an institution in the coun-
try. A certain ironmaster caused a
man who had offended him to be locked
up in an iron cage, and kept him confin-
ed in it for length of time At last,
while he was absent on journey, the
case of his wretched prisoner came to
the knowledge Of the governor of the
province. The governor causd the man,
cage and all, to be brought to the gov
eminent town, and invited the tyran-
meal ironmaster to dinner. After the
dinner was over, the governor sent for
quail in wooden cage, and offered
to sell it to his guest for ten thousand
rouhles The offer being treated as a
joke, the governor said he had more
valuable bird to sell, and told his SER
wants to bring it in. Folding doors
flew open, and the iron cage with its
miserable captive was set down before
the astonished guest. "Now," said the
governor, what do you think of that
for quail? But this is a very expen-
sive bird; I want 10000 roub1es for
him." Gall right" said the alarmed
proprietor, 81 will buy this one; send
him down to my works without the
cage, and your messenger shall bring
back the amount" The matter was
thus pleasantly settled, and the COM
pany adjourned in undisturbed har-
mony to their papirosses and coffee.

ICE YACHT REGATTA.
Plan to Hold Big Race on Lake
Minnetonka Next Feb
ruary.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 16.-Theo-
dore Wetmore. owner of the fast ice
yacht, Reindeer, has issued to Ira Fuller
of Lake Pepin, Wis, George f. Benson
of Lake City. and to the Madison Ice
Yacht club challenges for an open race
between one boat of each fleet and the
Reindeer, to occur on Lake Minnetonka,
in February, the actual dates to be fixed
according to the condition of the ice.
The challenges are of most liberal
character, no restrictions being placed on
either the size of the boats that shall. be
eligible to compete, or the amount OF
sail they carry. The challenges will be
mailed this afternoon. '
The project of holding an ice yacht re-
gatta on MinnetOnka was suggested a
few weeks ago. and the various clubs
above named are quite prepared for a
contest. 1t has already been decided
that the challenges will be accepted as
soon as received, and enthusiasts in this
exciting sport may count on some lively
entertainments if the weather conditions
are anything like propitious. The advent
of three outside boats, with regulations
as the speediest craft in their respective
localities, may be counted on with GER
tainty, and it is certain that the arrange
ment of such an event as this will lend
an additional spur to the sport, SO far as
home boats are concerned.
1t is not believed by yachtsmen of ex
perience that there will be good ice for
boating much before the middle of Janu
airy, and it is more than likely that the
regatta will be held in February. Some
of the Lake Pepin yachtsmen want to
have the regatta on Lake Pepln, claim
ing that the course there is better. but,
as the intention is to make the regatta
an annual event, every opportunity will
be afforded to test the merits of each.
The Madison yachtsmen are also anx-
ious to have a return regatta at the Wis
