The Passing Of the Horse.

A prominent electric company has
collected some startling figures, which
show the almost incalculable influence
OF the introduction of the electric
car, taken merely on its one basis of
replacing the horse for traction pur-
poses. 1t is estimated that electric
cars have already displaced 100000
horses, and this estimate is manifestlv
FAR below the actual number. The
feeding of these horses would entail
the consumption of 100000 bushels of
corn or oats day. The animals are
now back on grass, and the enormous
decrease in corn and oats consumption
caused by their withdrawal Is sufficient
to appreciably affect the prices of
these grains. In round figures, it
amounts to 1S0,O00,000 bushels year.
There is another view of this subject,
the significance of which will be pro-
badly more apparent a few years
hence than it is even now The loss
of commercial demand for these
coarse grains in the cities means an
enormous decrease in the tonnage of
the railroad freight traffic This
failure is already put at a minimum
100000 car loads. But it is not only
in public traffic that the day of the
horse is waning. In some cities the
electric car lines have so judiciously
distributed, and give such excellent
service, that many private families
have given up their carriages, and use
the electric car instead. in many
places the business of the liverymen
is practically ruined by the electric
car, and, as at Niagara Falls, the for
merlv arrogant and extortionate hack
man has become comparatively civil
and temporizing individual. The
electric car and the bicycle have
sounded the knell of the horse AS a
commercial factor But now the bicy
Gle is getting in its deadly work on
the electric car.

God is Not MOcked.

A young man with companion
undertook to run a raft to market.
The tide was dangerously high, and
some warned him not to get on the
raft. With determined emphasis he
said: 81 will run this raft or run to
hell" He had gone but short dis
tance when he was knocked off by the
oar-stem and drowned He prophesied
his own doom, and went to meet it.
He learned the fearful but unavailing
lesson that "Go q is not mocked." O,
lmpenitent sinner, beware beware.
Repent to-day and take Jesus as your
present Saviour. He will forgive and
receive you, only trust Him-Rev. III.

AS we were walking down to the
mission chapel last Sunday evening
we passed cottage on whose step sat
a poor woman. She is almost blind;
her husband, drunken wretch, has
left her, and she has two little children
to take care of. 1t is very sad case.
One OF the children, boy of seven or
eight has trouble with his eyes. One
day ourgreathearted pastor kindly took
Johnny to the city to have famous
eye-doctor look into his eyes and see
whether any thing could be done to
save them. The boy was nervous, and
WINGED when the doctor touched his
eyes. He was so restless that the great
man lost his patience. and said, q
little more bluntly than he would have
said to a Vanderbilt, ssMr-., this
boy will never see clearly; very likely
he'll be blind" The poor lad heard
his sentence and looked up through
his tea:s to the minister. "Must | be
blind?" he said. I'm afraid so.
Johnny" "Well,'' said the boy "it's
awful not to see But I'll be good
just the same. Indeed, I'd rather be
blind than badp' Tears came into
the doctors own eyes at the boys
words. He refused to charge any
thing for what he had done, and wish
ed that he could say "God's will be
DONE as simply and truly as bis
patient had said it.

The obi ect of limiting the amount for
which silver is legal tender is to avoid
any friction in foreign financial
transactions. 1t is very clear that for
domestic purposes silver and bank
currency will be the money in use.
The obligation of the government to
accept silver in payment of all dues
will secure this result. The effect of
the Chilean policy will be to establish
blmetallsm in that country in the
fullest sense of the word. Gold will
probably not circulate to any very
large extent, for there will be no obiec

Chile has shown her usual courage
IN dealing with the money question.
Her government t says to the financial
world that it is able to sustain its
money on par with the money of the
richest countries in the world. 1t has

MOnOmetaliStS.

No man in his sober senses wants
silver monometalism, any more than
he desires gold monometalism, but if
we are to have one or the other great
many people are beginning to think
it would be well to try change from
gold to silver. At present the country
is practically upon gold basis and it
is far from satisfactory. What the
advocates of silver desire is that the
white metal dollar shall become
part of our primary money as we'll as
the yellow stuff. The cry that is sent
sent up by those opposed to silver
coinage, that every advocate of the
latter doctrine is silver standardite
or a silver mOnometalist is misleading
and untrue. The trouble with this
proposition is that the goldites have
been aggressive, unrelenting and au-
tocratic. They have relaxed not a lit
tie bit in their demand for gold mono
metalism until the poor and loaded
down with debt, can and will stand it
no longer They propose that silver
shall enter our momentary system as
part of the primary money of the
country. Gold is not likely to become
so scare or so dear that the people can
not get all they will need of it for
ordinary purposes. Indeed it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether it will be
driven out of ciculation at all except
through a conspiracy of large banking
institutions withdraw it for the effect
such action will have on the use OF
silver. The people want larger and
a more expanded and cheaper med
ium of exchange than we have at
present A free use of silver will
bring gold down and establish a more
equitable system Of values.-Olympian.

A Gamers Opinion.

Senator Megler writes to the Amer
lean Economist concerning the effect
of the Mckinley tariff on tin as fol-
lows: ave salmon Gamers always
paid, previous to the United States
under the Mckinley bill, $3.50 to 81
per box for foreign tin. This year we
are buying our years supply from
American manufacturers at 1896 per
box and several of us have contracted
for our 1896 at 81. The protective
tariff did raise the price of tin 10 per
cent. till our own tin factories were es-
tablished, but now American skill and
competition have dropped the price
80 per cent. Before the Mckinley
bill our money went to Wales; now
our money stays in our own country.
We have the money and the cans, too,
and the consumers of our salmon will
get it % per cent. less than ever before
Mckinley and protection to new in
dustry did this and nothing else. ~
