The Song of Life.
Life is dreary, life is long"
Sang the minstrel, and his song
Ringing through the hearts of men,
fingered there in echo. Then
Life Is happy, life is brief,
Iife's a treasure. Deaths a thief"
Sang another, and his strain
Echoed in mems hearts again.
Irving Finch, in Donahoe's Magazine.

THE earth rebukes the thought OF God,
We are but embers wrapped in clay
A. little nobler than the sod"
But / lave touched the lips of clay
Mother thy rudest sod to me
Is thrilled with fire of hidden day
And haunted by all mystery.

it is in such condition, the body is almost
certain to be healthy. A complaint at this
time is catarrh in some Of It's various forms.

TO RESTRICT GOLD COINAGE
shylocks Becoming Alarmed Over It's In.
creased Production.


creased Production.
Increased production of gold begins
to disturb the moneyed oligarchy. and
the question OF closing the mints to
gold coinage is being gravely discuss
ed, says the spokesman Review. In
the Bankers Magazine of London w.
R. Lawson suggests that the accumu-
lation of gold may become such that
it will be necessary to limit it's use
for monetary purposes, and close the
mints of the world to the free coinage.
This would not imply in any sense
the characterization of gold" SAYS the
United States Investor. "but simply
that only fixed additions should be
made to the money supply in order to
prevent dangerous instability in
values"
This lays bare the true motive and
desire of the worlds money barons.
1t is confession that values are reg
ulated by the supply of metallic mon
ey. It is bold declaration that the
forces which shut off silver when sill
yer became plentiful propose also TO
shut off gold when the mining indus
try responds to the law Of supply and
demand. One is the logical corollary
of the other. The object in each case
is to corner the worlds supply Of met
allie money, to keep the people on
short coin rations, that they may be
compelled to resort to the paper mon
ey Of the banks to supply the def
cheney. The twofold purpose is to de-
press values and force the people to
borrow imitation money at the banks.
Could anything be palmer?
The advocates of restricted coinage
pretend now to observe danger in the
increased output of gold Danger,
forsooth! when all history teaches
that prosperity has risen and declined
with the r'se and fall of gold and sill
yer mining.
One Of the chief functions of gov
ernment has ever been 70 coin gold
and silver money for the people. The
government refusing to exercise this
function will in no part sacrifice it's
right to live and tax the people.

market closed a week ago. was quickly
changed to a weakness and a decline as
soon as the Belgian steamship Iris, had
secured her cargo and sailed with about
10 900 casks. On Saturday the few buyers
that entered the market got what they
wanted at 25lzc a gallon, and they did not
appear TO want very much at that price.
The exporters neglected the market for
few days. which depressed the tone, and
on Thursday the market declined to 253sc
for regulars. The demand became better,
and the sales were increased. There was
good demand to-day, and the market clos

DRY GOODS.

New York. oct. 4-There has been a
limited attendance of buyers in the dry
goods market to-day, and commission
houses have worn a generally quiet ap-
pearance. Many of them, under lnstruc-
lions from their manufacturers, are seek
ing no new business at the moment, and
are doing little beyond charging up and
shipping merchandise on existing con
tracts. The mail orders occasionally
yield evidence of improvement in the
recorder demand for seasonable cotton
fabrics, and from the general run of re-
ports from the west and from large dis
tributing centers in other sections, busi-
ness appears to be recovering from the
interruption caused by the hot spell in
September, and is promising we'll for the
balance of the season. The price situa-
ton at first hands has undergone no ma
terial change to-day. The tendency is
still against buyers, but quotations are
even more or less nominal in the alb
Sence of sellers.
