The improvement in trade is not SO
rapid as could be desired, but still 1t is
steady and the best feature of 1t all is
that everybody is hopeful Henry
Clews is of the opinion that employers
feel encouraged to 60 ahead faster
than they have been doing for year
or more, and he says they have in
consequence, in numerous instances,
begun voluntarily to advance wages,
which in itself is substantial evidence
of their confidence In the permancy of
the improvement which has already
taken place This is very gratifying
news and 1t shows that confidence is
returning, that there is a demand for
goods and that the margins of profits
are not so closely pared down as they
have been.

Blackburn and Carlisle.

Senator Joe Blackburn says he 8 for
the free coinage of silver at ratio of
sixteen to one, and he doesn't care
who knows it. ALouisville paper has
called upon Secretary Carlisle to answer
Blackburn and show the world that
Kentucky is not hopelessly addicted
to silver. Carlisle has not yet found
time to accept the invitation. 1t is
within the memory of man when this
same Carlisle ranked as an advocate
of silver, but that was before he en-
tered Cleveland's aabinet and got hyp-
Noticed. Carlisle Is not saying a
word just now-tha situation in
Kentucky and the country at
large is rather delicate one.
According to the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Times
Herald it is a matter of COM
mon gossip in Washington that Sec
rotary Carlisle believes he is in line for
promotion to the presidency, and his
friends, 1t is understood, will make an
effort to secure the democratic nomina-
tion for him next year.
"Kentuckians," says this correspond
emit, "would not be at all surprised If
Mr.. Carlisle were to arrange a COM
promise with Senator Blackburn by
which Mr. Blackburn may return to
the senate without opposition in ex-
change for the support of the Ken
lucky delegation for Mr.. Carlisle's
presidential ambition. Not many peo-
Pile in Washington think Secretary
Carlisle stands very good show for
this honor, their impression being that
he has to some extent lost the conf
dence of his old friends of the South
and West without any. corresponding
gain in the eyes of the eastern demo-
Gratis Still, he may be considered a
factor in the race"

The New York Times notes an In
teresting incident in an examination
of three young men who applied to
the New York Presbytery for licenses
to preach. Each was asked to express
an opinion as to the probable fate,
after death, of Socrates and Plato.
One of the candidates declared un-
hesitatingly that both those Greek
philosophers were eternally lost; the
second was equally sure that another
chance was given them in the other
world, and the third said he didn't
know. Where the funny part comes
in is In the announceme that all
three of the young men were duly
licensed to preach.

When they consent to shift their
position from sneers and ridicule to
fact and argument, the advocates of
gold monometallism get the worst of

director of the mint, there is of gold

600 more of silver than gold. The
above facts completely upset the
theory that the overproduction of sill
yer has caused its depreciation in
value Mulhall, the celebrated Eng
lish statistician, states the quantity of
gold and silver in the world, coined
and uncoined. at six periods, 1900,
100, 1900, 1s4S, 1880 aud 1890. as fol-
fols: In the year 1900 there were q
tons of silver to ton of gold; in the
year 100, "a tons of silver TO l ton of
gold; in the year 1900, 30 tons of silver
to ton of gold; in the year 164S, 81
tons of silver TO ton of gold; in the
year 1880, Is tons of silver to ton of
gold; in the year 1890, 10 tons of silver
to ton of gold. From this, it will be
observed that all this talk about the
overproduction of silver, causing its
decline in price, is without any founda-
ton in fact.
