rive pleasure from the sting this want
of manhood for brief moment may
cause that brother. But mankind, in
general, is charitable, and is not
long to be deceived, and in the end,
truth and manliness adjusts the matter
and the sting reverts to the tradu-
Ger. a thousand fold. The amiable,
conscientious and fearless man, will
make people, in general, wish him we'll,

Good manners, as we'll as modesty, are
Jewels that should be cultivated by
every man, whether high or low, great
or small, for they tell the genuine
moral worth of man; and he who pos
sesses these qualities is considerate to
the weak, giving them his protection
by shielding them with his strength.
Such man is never wounded, for his
heart is right. An illustration of how

DON'T LET YOUR CRANIUM SWELL

A recent occurrence in one OF the
large manufactures in an eastern state
makes true the old saw, "Put beggar
on horseback and he'll ride him to
DEATH" and these instances can be
found in every walk of life. The facts
were: A young man had been employ
ed for years as an ordinary mechanic.
One of the foremen had died and he
was made his successor. While fell
low employee working at his lathe, he
was highly thought of, affable and
pleasant, unassuming and gentlemanly.
AS soon as he was elevated his hat be-
came too small; he became arrogant
and used his position to hector and i'll
use one or two to whom he had become
unfriendly. They gave him rope, with
the result that his prosecutions became
so apparent, his employers discharged
him, and placed one of the victims OF
his ill-will in his place; and the latter,
to make the sting more severe, offered
him his old lathe, which he gladly ac-
cepted. 1t was purely case of STEP
ing on the head Of worm, only to
find it scorpion When a man pre-
sumes upon the power he may hold
over his fellow-man, which leads
him to petty prosecutions against
one toward whom he may have some
fancied grievance, that one may
be like the helpless worm for time
but, in almost every instance, the con
ditions change, and the former receives
a sting when writhe was anticipated
It is a just retribution that such al
wantonly seek to wound those whom
| they know are powerless to defen(
themselves, should occasionally sutfe
for their actions. But as these con
ditions exist only with those of weak in
r tellect. low elements of human nature

AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW.

In the memoirs of General Count
DeSegur," an aide-de- camp of Napo-
leon, recently published. the following
affecting incident is related:
1 have said that during the noctur-
nal attack of the Ukra, on December
23, 1 was unhorsed. My animal had
been wounded by a bullet in his chest,
from which the blood was streaming;
and, as he could no longer carry me,
had been forced to leave him, loading
his equipment on my shoulders. when
had reached our first outpost about
three hundred PAGES off, l sat down to
rest before the fire, in some grief at
the loss of my mount, when plant
i've sound and an unexpected contact
caused me to turn my head. 1t was
the moor beast which had revived, and
had dragged itself in the wake of my
footsteps; in spite of the distance and
darkness it had succeeded in finding
me, and, recognizing me by the light
of the campfire, had come up groanlng
to lay it's head on my shoulder. MY
ewes filled with tears at this last proof
of attachment, and was gently strok-
ing it. when, exhausted from the blood
it had lost, and it's efforts to follow me
in the midst of the men, who were as
surprised and touched as myself: it fell
down, struggled for moment, and ex

who desires to promote the agricultural
or the industrial resources of the country,
and benefits no human being whatever but
the owner of fixed debts in gold" Fall
ing prices Of agricultural products de-
prive the farmer of the means Of buying
his usual conveniences and necessities, and
these accumulate on the hands of the
manufacturer and retailer, who in turn
curtail expenses to the uttermost, dis
charging labor which then loses it's power
to consume, and limiting their own con-
sumption to the barest needs. Thus far
mer, manufacturer, tradesman, trans
porter, laborer, all lose patronage and
employment, while taxes interest and
principal of mortgages, fixed charges,
bonded Indebtedness and rents are con-
stantly and remOrselessly measuring off
increasing equivalencies in all human pro-
ducts Under such circumstances there
is no inducement to enterprise or to in
vestment in producing industries No man
wants to borrow money to use in bust
ness in which the fall of prices is sure to
eat up his profits. On the other hand the
man with money for the same reason does
not want to put it into business but pre-
fers either to invest it in gilt-edge securi-
ties or to let it lie idle and grow. This
cOlleclS the money IN the large financial
centers and emphasizes the absolute
power of the money-lender who must be
sought in his lair and who can make his
own terms with borrowers. 1t is a bad
symptom when "breeding' money, to use
Shylock's phrase, is regarded as better
business policy than embarking it in pro-
ductive industry.
A SOCIAL QUESTION.
Fellow citizens, profound social ques-
ton underlies this great matter. Our
vicious money standard is an important
cause among others, of the too prevalent
opinion of the limitless influence of
wealth.; of that GREATNESS, constituencies
and almost insane pursuit of money as a
means Of selfish power or british indul-
gence; of that worship of money for it's
own vile sake; of those innumerable
schemes for acquiring and using combina-
tons of wealth to evade or override the
laws, which occasion so many of the
alarming social and industrial collisions
that characterize our time and cause the
gravest concern for our institutions; Of
combinations Of capital in ''trusts' for
the purpose of resisting the fall of prices
and combinations of workingmen to resist
the tendency of wages to follow the fall
of the products of labor. Adequate scholar
ship has established that tho 6ooov of +bo

has deprecated, that is if prices have
risen, the same nominal sum when re-
paid has less purchasing power than when
borrowed and the lender or creditor really
receives less than he loaned the borrower
or debtor profitng by the difference. On
the other hand if money rises in purchas-
ing power between the making of the
loan and the repayment, SO that the Dor
rover has to find more commodities with
which to buy the money to pay back than
the money would buy for him when he bor-
rowed it, then he loses the difference and
the money lender makes it. Now in either
case the changing standard takes some
thing from one man without his deserving
to lose it and gives it to another who has
no right to it. In either case it is silent
robbery. The ideal standard would pre-
serve the rights of both debtors and
creditors. But if a deliberate choice had
to be made between a gradually falling
and a gradually rising standard, all writ
ers of authority agree and it is conson-
ant with common sense, that morally,
economically, politically and socially the
falling standard would be preferable. It's
inevitable losses fall on the creditor, the
lender, who can better than the debtor
endure it's effects, and it encourages en-

debtor. the investor, the captain of indus

quently wiped from the face of the indus
trial world by the vanishing of the margin
between his property and the automati-
cally enlarging lien upon it.
EFFECTS OF RISING STANDARD.
In the latter case the absolutely
unavoidable result must be, if tho
evil is permitted to run, that all
property will eventually belong to
those who control the ultimate money of
the world and thrift and enterprise, if
enterprise and thrift can belong to
race of slaves, would plan and save and
.oil to further fatten the over-fed fairness
of their masters This is no exaggeration
of language. It is the speech of truth and
sOberness. Said Sir Arthur James Bal

sentative government of England an

foundest thinkers in Europe, in a speech
