GREED IN ANTI-TOXINE.

At the risk Of combating Henry
Rrummond's theory of "the greatest
thing in the world" we are tempted to
say it is human greed for money. 4
London correspondent Of the Philadel
phia Telegraph is authority for the
statement that the new remedy for
diptheria, anti-toxine, is now on sale
in Belgium at "a for ten grammes.
The common mode Of preparing this
remedy is by inOculating the blood of
q horse, and the estimate is that 5000
grammes of the anti-toXine can be pro-
sured from one animal This writer
says: "Now in Belgium a good, sound,
but old cavalry horse can be bought for
$40. Keeping and feeding the horse
for three months so as to render the
animal immune, would cost $50. Now,
if 5000 grammes ares old at the price
charged by the German firm, this
would represent q nice little sum of
Sc, 100 for what would cost $40, and
there would still remain the horse in
probably a healthier condition than
WITCH puECildSeu
This is, indeed, an exaggerated ex-
ample of human greed. The world has
waited long for specific for this fatal
malady, but almost before it is quota
BILE as an article of commerce there is
an attempt to put the price beyond
the reach of the poor to whom life is
as sweet as to those blessed with the
means with which to buy the remedy.
What aggravates the situation still
worse is, that the discoverer of this
great specific is poor man, welded TO
his profession, and wants no better
reward than that his name shall be
handed down among the list of scien-
tific discoveries, and that he may be
regarded as benefactor to his race.
1t is the dealers and brokers in the ar
ticle who seek TO enrich themselves by
the enormous profits. The grief-strick-
en- mother whose babe lies breathing
its last, only because she has not the
funds to purchase this remedy, can
best appreciate the full extent of such
inhuman ayarice. IL there is a crea-
ture on earth more to be deSpised than
the midnight assassin who murders
the rich man for his money, it is the
biped hog incarnate who would thus
deprive the poor of this munificent
discovery in science-a gift which
should be free to all

To this end am of the opinion that
in many localities this system can With
great profit be extended largely, and
that it can be applied not only TO pu-
pills, but to adult Indians.
You will please give this matter your
early and careful attention with refer
ence to Indians of your agency and
school. You vii endeavor to find suit
able families who will receive Indians
in their homes and give them kind
treatment and practical training in
everyday duties: also seek out worthy
Indians and urge them to avail them
selves of such opportunities and ex-
plain to them their nature and their
value.
If practicable arrangements should
be made to have boys and girls attend
the public schools during the winter
months.
Upon receipt hereof you will please
communicate to this office your views
as to the feasibility of carrying out
these suggestions among the Indians of
your agency and school and state what
steps you purpose to take in further
ance of this plan. Yours respectfully,

MONEY NKEYINGTARIFF TINK-
ERING.

The shrinkage in bushes and the loss
in values under the tariff tinkering,
money-monkeying administration of
Mr. Cleveland is beyond comprehen-
sion of computation. The bank clear
ings in New York City alone for the
month of December were over three
hundred million dollars less than in the
same month of 1892, and two hundred
million less in the other banking CEN
tiers of the country, Or total of half
q billion of dollars. For the same per-
iod in all other countries there WIS a
marked increase, especially in Eng
landry footing up the total amount of
business done in the city of New York
for the year 1892 under Harrison and
Republican rule, we find the sum
total to be SS,943. 094,727 and for 1894
S5,Sf5, 659,01S, which shows n loss Of
business in this one city of upwards Of
three billions of dollars. Who can
comprehend such sum? II is beyond
computation. And who can doubt that
all this vast and disastrous shrinkage
has come from the tariff-tinkering and
money-monkeying of the present adj
ministration and its Democratic ma
jority in congress:
And what is true of the business Of
the country is as true of all its other
values. The shrinkage of value in
every species of property is appalling.
The loss sustained by the country in
the destruction or total humiliation of
values in three years is beyond the
power of expression in ordinary figures.
Towns like Wichita have lost millions,
the state billions and the larger cities
and greater states in proportion. The
sum total of the loss Of values in this
entire country if aggregated in dollars
of gold would buy outright any one of
a number of European nations at their
own valuation.
When will this bond-selling, tariff
tinkering and money-mOnkeyin
cease? 1t is certain there can be no
universal return of confidence and
consequent general prosperity until an
end has ben put to it.

Literary success is very pr0fita-

it is achieved the truth of the old
maxim, that nothing succeeds like sue

the author. But only a few reach the
coveted goal. A novel, for example
must sell 5000 copies before it pays its
publisher and begins to show profit
to its author. And when one consid-
ers that not one out of forty novels ever
