Gold Standard Mortgages.

Those who believe that the
world is prospering under a gold
standard are invited to read the
following dispatch from Ottawa;
Ottawa, Oct, 29.~The annual
report of Canada's finance depart
ment for the year ending 1894,
just issued, shows great increase
in the quantity of real estatemort-.
cages and in total loans. The
value Of the real estate mortgaged
is still 11d,S00,O0Q, compared
with 11Q,916,0Q0 in 1898, au in
crease in 1894 Of nearly $4,000
900. Total loans for 1894 are
l21 10000 as against $11o, 346.
600 in 1898, an increase Of over
5000, 900. ! hese figures show that
never in it's history has Canadian
land been SO heavily mortgaged.
Since 1878 the increase in total
loans has been over $50 per cent.
Mortgages and loans increasing,
Never in its history has Canada
been SO heavily mortgaged.' this
is what the gold standard means.
AS tie lot OF the debtor becomes
harder he borrows money to pay
the interest and finally gives up
his property at loss Of all of his
original investment How long
must this cruel, merciless process
60 on before the people will arise
and restore the gold and silver
coinage Of former years? thus
and thus only can prosperity be
regained~Omaha World Herald.

On a recent missionary Sun
day at one of the largest Presby-
terrain churches in Philadelphia,
the pastor preached ON the dis
tress Of the heather and the ben
ificent influence of christianity.
A practical business man was
moved to place a dollar in the
collection. After the service he
waited around to speak to the pas
tor. When he had secured his at
tention, he said: Pastor, ! gave a
dollar to the foreign mission this
morning, but l was SO impressed
by your description of the con-
dition of the heather races that

get the benefit of that dollar
The pastor looked inquiringly
and the man added: Here is SO

dollar there. p

which would in no way interfere with
tho industries of this country" In o.her
words, the representative of the high pro-
lection policy proposes to launc out
into vast projects of expenditure for the
sole purpose of furnishing an excuse for
"increasine the tariff on a few articles. -
The necessity of davisinR new ontgoes is
impressed upon him by the certainty
that the government receipts unner the
present low tariff will soon meet its ex-
penditures and by the discovery that the
immense total Of pension payments has
reached its maxiinu m and must hereafte r
diminish. Unless some new schene
for spending money is found be-
fore the next president is inauguratei,
1.-THE free.trnde tariff will be producing
all the money needed to conduct the gov
eminent and there will be no excuse for
oserhauling the scale OF duties with a
view of marking them up.
The Pennsylvania boss is to be com
mended for his frankness and promptness
in formulating a new issue for his party.
He recognizes clearly the necessity of
offering some excuse for asking the peo-
pie to raise the tariff. and he has devised
scheme of "libeIal appropriations,
which may safely be guaranteed to use up
all the money shat even Mckinley could
provide. How the taxpayers will like the
idea of furnishing some hundreds of mil
lions for the benefit of those interested III

the world.
Lodge cables all the way from Paris his
high defiance of all effete nations OF
Europe and his demand for a foreign pol
lev made up of ultimatums. Dolph tele-
graphs mis- war cry from Oregon. The
westerner is a tr.fle more turgid of lang

whit more hloJdthirsty. He demands
that the Monroe doctrine be upheld. if ne
cessary, at the poin, of the sword, and
that Cuba be taken under the protecting
wing of the American eagle-expensive
and doubtful enterprises both.
1t is not bv mere colncidence that 81
many Republican senators from such
widely separated points OF vantage sound
the war tocsin. Clearly there is well
defined understanding between them. 1t
is only one move in the game of politics.
Fearing to enter another presidential

estopped from making the fight fer
sound money by their alliance with min

They have chosen the sentimental issue
of the domination of the United States
in the eastern hemisphere, ana purpose

In view of the further fact that you had

ABOLISH THE "SICk MAN"

In the interest of civilization and hu-
mainly it is to be hoped that the an =
nouncement regarding Lord Salisbury s
intention to propose to the powers of
Europe the dismem berment of Turkey, is
founded on fact. From an ethical point
of view the powers probably bav, no
right to dissect the 'sick man" Of
Europe, but it is apparent that they do
intend to exercise control over his move
men:s, and thew may as we'll make their
interference one that will best promote
the cause of humanity.
Under the Berlin treaty Armenia is one
OF the Turkish provinces which the Euro
pean powers undertook in measure the
guardianship of-that is. it was agreed
between the treaty making powers that
Turkeys government of these provinces
should be OF kind acceptable to them,
and presumably humane and just.
The conditions imposed on the Otto
man empire by this convention and &C
copied by the sultan as the price of peace
and of salvation from the greed of the
hungry Russian, have been often violated
in the letter and very generally in the
spirit.
The horrible and repeated slaughter of
the Armenians in the last few months
proves that the porte is either unwilling
or unable to keep the covenant made ut
Berlin, and that if let alone the bene-
fetal aims professed by the treaty powers
will never be realized.
1t is altogether proba bl, that the Turk
ish governments has not the capacity to
adequately establish the reform insisted
on BY the great powers, ana it Is very
certain that it has TO wish to do so even
if it possesses the ability. A govern
ment which will not conserve the rights
and interests of its own people, those
that are faithful to the creed OF NOLAN
medism, can hardly be expected to exert
iself effectually in behalf of others that
have EN- braced the faith of the Chris
tian dog" and are subjects of the sulta n
only under protest. 1t is apparent that
the time for an exchange CT diplomatic
commu nications has past, and that
further hesitancy on the part of England
and the other powers will imrerii those
Armenians that Turkish savagery has not
vet destroyed, and that the civilized
world will b3 again horror stricken with
stories of murder outrage and plumber.
The great powers of Europe have med
died with the concerns of other go7ern.

the past, they might now Offset to de-

Case of Destituton

A very sad and unfortunate case came
to the notice of the Associated Charities
yesterday. A man named c. J. Barron,
his wife and hve children, have just ar
rived from Missouri. The woman is par
alyzed and the eldest son is also similarly
afflicted and in addition is an idiot. A
physician told them that the climate of
this section would help them, so they got
four horses and q wagon and started
across the plains. The trip was made
with many difficulties. AT Reno, Ne
vadn, the people subscribed money Il
charter a freight car and send the entire
outfit, horses and all, to this city. They
are without means and the man has no
friends here or any definite notion as to
what he will do to make Il living.
