This year the college has gratifying attend ance and Is to give it's students some aid in the way of practical talks. There has been arranged for the winter and spring a series of lectures from the following: Walter Learned, Hadlai A. Hull, Miss Charlotte Molyneux Holloway, Dr. Fran cis N. Braman, Congressman Charles A. Russell and Thomas M. Waller There will be one talk month, beginning with Mir. Learned in November, who will talk on Savings Banks.

A cough which persists day after day, should not be neglected any longer. 1t means something more than mere local irritation, and the sooner 1t is relieved the better. Take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. 1t is prompt to act and sure to cure.

W. w. Lathrop, Stafford Springs, G.L. Phillips, South Coventry, the druggists, will tell you that no one is better qualified to judge of the merits of an article than the dealer, because he bases his opinion on the experience of all who use it. For this reason they wish us to publish the remarks of other dealers about an article which they handle. Messrs. c. F. Moore < Co.,, Newberg, Ore, says: "We sell more of Chambe1lain's Cough Remedy than all others put together, and it all ways gives good satisfaction" MT; J. F.

The first thing to fall and the last
disarrangement of the currency the
-lan who works for wages is the hardest
| hit. The banker whose business it is to
keep himself posted, generally foresees
the disturb ance in season to, protect him
self. II the value of the currency falls
the merchant puts up his goods. But
the wage worker has not the power to
put up his wages and long after the
| prices of the neGessaIies of life go up his
wages remain stationary. To the labor
( ing man a dollar is dollar. 1t takes a
| long time to force upon his attention the
| difference in the purchasing power OF
| dollars of different kinds. All dollars
are now of equal pur chasing power and
it makes no difference whether he is
paid in gold, in silver, in greenbacks or
bank notes. But suppose the United
States enters upon the tree coinage of
silver and the price of silver does not
rise or rises only little. The purchas-
| ing power OF the silver dollar will thus
| be equal only to it's bullion value. But
| it will be called dollar, and for long
while the lahoring man Will get only this
| deprecated dollar for the same labor for
| which he now receives dollar of higher
purchasing power. Long before the
difference is recognized and made good
to him by his employer the merchant
will have discovered 1t and put up the
price of his goods to cover the depreoia-
ton. If silver should maintain it's pres
emit price under free coinage the laborer
would have his wages cut in two. In
deed in England some economists are adj
voeating the reconciliation of silver for
the express purpose of cutting his wages
in two. In this way only, they say, can
the British manufacturer hope to compete
with the poorly paid labor of China and
Japan. Not being able to cut wages
directly in face of the powerful opposi-
tion of the labor unions they propose this
indirect method as being one that the
laboring meu will not see through until
it is too late.

The history of the two sets of rules
that were presented for the government
of the labor bureau is interesting and
significant. The Thompson rules, which
contain no rule for the discharge of all
laborers at the end of each month, were
originally adopted by the committee
composed of Aldermen Thompson and
Peters and Couneilmen Slower and
&annix, unanimously, after they had
been considered seriatim, and went to the
City Council with that Endorsement.
They were laid over at the request of
some member of the council until later
meeting. When that meeting came Mr..
Petres popped in his amended rules.
After he had approved the other rules
he apparently got some new light,
which made him anxious to terminate
the connection of every common laborer
with street work at the end of every
month.

caps not unlike those which some years
ago used to be worn by brewers dray-
men. In the North team the jerseys
were red and in the South blue, and
though the blending of the colors was
not unpioturesque when the teams were
mixed, it would be an excess of gallant

So ludicrous was it that when the teams

SILVER AND THE BRITISH MANUFAC
TURERS

TURERS.
An interesting paper bearing Oh the
question Of binetalism is tho prise essay
written by Mr.. George Jameson, British
Consul at Shanghai. The paper treats
principally of the effect of the fall of sill
yer on British manufacturers and the
author predicts that unless England re-
stores the bimetalie standard Japanese
manufacturers will outstrip them in the
markets of the East. 1.-THE mauufactur-
er in the silver standard country" says
Mr.. Jameson, "has a great advantage,
and simply for this reason that he can
obtain his labor at half the cost relative
ly to gold wages, which he formerly
paid. And this advantage must remain
with him (unless silver can in the mean
time.be brought back to something like
it's old value) until wages in old countries
have fallen fifty per cent, or till they
have risen 100 per cent in silver using
countries, or till some common meeting
ground has been found between the two.
In other words, the old equilibrium will
not be restol led until the standard OF
living and comfort, amongst the working
classes in England, has greatly fallen, or
till the standard in silver rising countries
has greatly risen." Stripped of all dis
guise this means simply that wages must
fall at least SO per cent in England if
she is to continue to compete with the
nations OF the East, especially Japan,
which are gradually discovering their
advantage and preparing to make the
most of it, and that silver must be re-
stored as means of indirectly effeoting
that cut because it cannot be made
directly This is not cheerful prospect
for the British operative, for with wages
of half the purchasing power of his pres
ent wages he will have to adopt a much
meaner style of living. But Mr..
Jameson believes that the choice will
inevitably be between this and no wages

1t is an error to speak of the free silver
coinage movement as bimetal1c move
meDt. 1t is no such thing. 1t is silver
monometalic movement. The number of
experts who believe that the free coinage
of silver by this country alone would
raiss the price of silver sufficiently near to
gold to keep both metals in circulation
doesn't rise much if any above zero.
Prof. Walker is one of the most ardent
bimetalists in the country but he does not
believe that bimetalism can be brought
about by free coinage by the United
STATES alone. Nine tenths of the adj

BONDS PAYABLE IN SILVER.

What does Mr.. Dubois suppose the
government could get for bonds avow-
edly payable in silver? What does he
suppose people would pay for such
bonds after a deliberate act of repudi-
alton in declaring all government gold
obligations payable in silver? The pub
lie credit under such financial engi-
neering would be about as good as that
of merchant who should plainly an
nounce it to be his purpose to swindIe
his creditors out of half their dues.
Such is the question asked by the
Chicago Chronicle apropos of the re-
marks Of Senator Dubois on the Pres
dents message of last Friday Advo-
Gates of free silver suppose that there
would be no necessity to issue bonds

What has been the purpose of the last
three bond sales? They were made, we
are told, for the purpose of securing
gold with which to replenish and main
tain the treasury's supply of that met
al. That was the avowed purpose of the
issues. Had the treasury authorities
awaited themselves of their legal right
to pay out silver there would have
been no necessity to sell bonds. 1t is
just as legal to pay coin bond in
silver as it is to pay it in gold. Is there

IT'S suggestion to Republican House
over which Thomas d. Reed of Maine
presides as speaker-tfle man who p1be,,
Democrats in the Fifty-first CONGRESS-
pointed out that the appropriations of
the House would reach one billion dol
lars, and protested against such lavish
expenditure, haughtily replied that this
was a billion dollar country. Nevertfe
less the suggestion of the Dispatch
Is a good one, but not likely to form
any part of the patchwork legislation
which the present Republican House
has started to formulate. Retrenobnent
of expenses it may be depended upon
is no part of the Republican pro
gramme. Appropos the suggestion of
the Dispatch comes to mind the recon-
mendations of Secretary Carlisle in his
late report to Congress On this very
point:
While the situation does not REQUIRE
any legislation for raising additional
revenue by taxation at this time. it is
such as to require the strictesit economy
in appropriations and public expendi-
lures. AT time the people, upon
whom the expenses of sustaining the
government is imposed, are compelled
to practice the closest eIcoromv in
their business and domestic affairs in
order to meet their obligations and re-
establish their trade and industries it
is more than ever the duty of the pub
lie authrities to avoid waste and ex-
travagance in the appropriation and
disbursement of the revenues.
While the essential agencies for an
efficient administration of the public
service should be adequately provided
Tor, / am sure that a careful examina-
ton OF the subject will disclose many
sources Of expenditures which might be
greatly reduced or entirely abolished,
and legislation in this direction togeth
er with refusal to make appropria-
tion5 for new objects of doubtful ne
cessity or propriety, would tend very
materially to equalize the public re-
ceipts and disbursements"
That suggestion of Mr.. Carlisle's is
thoroughly Democratic, and it's good
sense will meet with universal APPROX
al among thoughtful people. But we
doubt very much if it will have amy
weight in the House of Representatives
now under the control of party
chargeable with lavish, not to say reck-
less expenditure of public money.
