GOLD SHIPMENTS.

They Were Larger Under Harrison Than

Our republican friends needn't lose
sleep over the exports of gold now be-
ing made.
There was not week from March 4
to July 81 in any of the years of
President Harrison's administration in
which gold exports were not a great
deal larger than they have been all
this month
Take the banner year of that ad-
ministration-1S92 Gold was exported
in July that year to the amount of
$40, 7e2, 65s, weekly average of nearly
s., 500, 900.
In July, 1891, the amount slipped
was So, 662, GA.
In the year before, Jnly's shipments
were even larger than in 1892, amount
ing to 81. $50, 029.
Here we have a total for the last
3 years of the Harrison admins
tration of $29, 305, al in 13 July weeks,
an average of over Sc, ESQ, GOO per week,
as compared with sI,4sG, ooe in the 3

En other words, July gold exports

great as are the shipments we have

r. w. Edwards, of Lansingburg. was
FRUSTRATED by sunstroke during the war,
and it has entailed on him peculiar and Sc
rious consequences. At present writing
Mr.. E. is a prominent officer Of Post Lyon,
q. A. R., Cohoes and q past aide de camp on
the staff of the commander-in-chief OF Al
bany Co. In the interview with a reporter,
he said:

miles. Having no room In the box cars we
were placed face up on the bottom of fiat
cars. The sun beat down upon our unpro-
tected heads. When reached Washington
Twas insensible and was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result of this 100-miie ride and sunstroke
was heart disease. nervous prostration, in
Somnia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. AS a last resort took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to a wonder
ful degree. My rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone, and the abscess in my ear
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as a bell when before it felt as
though it would burst, and my once shat
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers Mr.. Edwards said,
lido they look if there was any rheuma-
tism there?' He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like
young boy. "a year ago those fingers were
gnarled at the joints and so stiff that could
not hold a pen. My knees would swell up,
and could not straighten my leg out. My
joints would squeak when / moved them.
That is the living truth.
"When came to think thatI was going to
be crippled with rheumatism, together with
the rest of nay ailments, I tell you life
seemed not worth living. suffered from
dependency. I cannot begin to tell you,n
said MIR. Edwards, as he drew long breath,
''what my feeling is at present. ! think if
eft me prime and vigorous at forty-seven,
could feel no better. I was an old man
and could only drag myself painfully about
the house. Now can walk off without any
trouble. That in itself,' continued Mr..
Edwards, s.would be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
consider that l am no longer what you
might call nervous and that my heart is ap-
parently nearly healthy, and that I can
sleep nights, you may realize why may ap-
pear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink
Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take
that awful pressure from my head, and at
the same time enrich nay blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
clammy at times. Now the circulation
there is as full and as brisk at any other
part of my body. I used to be so light
headed and dizzy from my nervous dis
order that frequently fell while crossing
the floor of my house. Spring is coming
and never felt better in my life, and I am
looking forward to a busy season of work."

HISTORIC BROOK FARM.

Many Famous Men Make Their Start In
That Community.
Brook Farm is place of mysteries,
with all it's sunny meadows, bowery
hills and happy birds, writes Hezekiah
Butterworth, in a profuselv illustrated
sketch of the place made famous by
Hawthorne, Alcot, Curtis, Dana and
Ripley. There is no mystery, perhaps,
In the psychic life of America greater
than how SO many young enthusiasts,
of like heart, mind and faith should
have found themselves here fifty or
more years ago. They were all ap-
parently disciples of Emmanuel Kant:
all Fourierites; all social reformers.
They were all destined to become IA
nous; they were the elect of life. but
at that time they knew it not. They
were, for the most part, poor. Prof
George Ripley. who was content to be
poor if he could do good in the world,
was the leader OF these gentle philoso-
piers. He did good and became rich.
George William Curtis was there;
Charles A. Dana, now of the New
York Sun; Bronson. who became editor
of the Catholic Review; Dwight, who
did much for music ia America in
Dwight's Journal of Music. Bronson
Alcott made his social experiments at
Fruitiands, but, like Emerson, was in
touch with Brook Farm. Many of the
afterward philanthropists of Boston
were there, of whom but few now re-
main.
The Brook Farm house is now a Ger
man orphan asylum. supported, think,
by some union of charities in Boston
Large additions have been made to the
solid house associated with Prof. Rip
iey's literary and philosophical COM
munity, then called the 'sPhalanstery.
To an eye like Thoreau's it would be
regarded as a beautiful estate, but it's
charms are subtle and simple. The

The Republfcan Party In Search OF Bons
to Contend For.
Many OF our republican conteInporas
ries vehemently insist that the tariff Is
to be very much in evidence during the
presidential campaign of next year.
Those who favor the candidacy of Gov.
Mckinley are obliged to do this, for he
would be an absurdity as candidate
on any other issue. It is hardly posi-
BILE, however, to find anyb body of prom
inence who advocates the reenactment
of the Mckinley law.
On the other hand, there are not a
few republicans who are tired of the
tariff issue, and especially OF McKin-
leyism. They know when they have
enough. They remember with emotion
the tremendous overthrow of 1890,
which followed the Mckinley iniquity
as the thunder follows the electric
fash. They remember also how they
claimed that this was due to the fact
that the election came SO soon after
the passage of the bill that the people
had not had time to learn how very
good bill it was. So they took two
years to explain it to the people, dur
ing which period wages were reduced
all over the country. Their two years
followed by another singing defeat
Many republicans are quite aware that
their success last fall was wholly due
to the depression of business which
they brought about, and that it af
fords no promise for the future if the
Improvement in business continue. Sc
they are very shy of McKinleyism.
It is worthy of mention that Con
Of 1frS
that the next presidential election will
turn mainly upon the currency ques.
ton. This is significant because Mr..
Ding1ey is representative of Mr..
Reed, a prominent candidate for the
presidency. It is also significant on
account of the reason assigned forit He
says the democrats have stolen repub
lican thunder by enacting protective
tariff, which proves to be tributary
to American enterprise"
We might pause to ask Mr.. Dingley,
if the present tariff is tributary tc
American enterprise, why his party
enacted one which on many important
commodities was twice as high as the
present tariff? We might also ask how
it happened that the makers of many
| commodities on which the tariff was re-
duced the most are among the most pros
porous? However, it is not our purpose
to argue the correctness of Mr.. Dingley's
statement, but merely to cite it as evil
dence of the drift of republican opinion.
If the repu blican party adopt sound
money as the main issue for 1896, ii
will be compelled substantially to in
dorse the democratic administration.
On the other hand, if it EN- brace McKiu-
leViSm it will have to attack a tariff
which its own organs declare is ''trib-
utary to American enterpl ise." Under
these circumstances the search for an
issue is attended with no little en-
barrassment-Louis Courier-Jour-
