ROThSChILD'S DOLLAR.

Minister Buchanan, now in Argen-
tina, strikes lead in the investiga-
tons of the silver question which is
worthy OF consideration. Buchanan
is a clear-headed business man and
cannot be regarded rs a politician in
any sense. The fact that the bankers
OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF Lombard
street in London-refuse to accept ex-
change on the United States banks
unless stipulated that they will be
paid in gold, would seem to form a
barrier to an extension OF our COM
mercc. 1t illustrates more than ever
the hold the money sharks Of England
have upon Inc world when they can by
cablegram direct the bankers in half
OF the nation to refuse to accept
our money unless payment is ab-
solutely fixed in gold. A draft,
silver certificate. or any other
form for money unless the word gold"
is written thereon, is subject to dis
count. Our currency may not be just
what 1t ought to be, but one thing Is
very apparent, and that is that the
money-kings OF London have bound
the commercial interests OF the
the world with a gold chat n
which will cost in dollars more
than all the wars Of the world ever
consumed to break and unloosen their
miserly hold. The treasury note, the
silver note, the silver dollar, and the
silver certificate Is discounted all the
way from 10 to 90 per cent. Do we
have to come to gold basis? Must
we bow the knee and acknowledge our
vassalage to Rothschild? Here Is
what Buchanan writes in his letter:

markets of the East, but the trouble is that
the best and most profitable markets have
not been reached at all.
"ID towns of from 1900 to Is, 900 popula-
ton California fruits, nuts and wines are
known only by reputation. The people
have read about them in the metropolitan
newspapers and that's II. They have
never had an opportunity to buy or test
the merits of the articles themselves.
There has not been a systematic canvass
from town to town such as believe would
be effective.
eff the producers would send out COM
mercial travellers or drummers, as they are
more familiarly called, with complete lot
OF samples and sell them in assorted lots
to merchants and large consumers, there
would be an immediate and steadily grow
ing demand. For instance, a carload might
be made up of oranges dried prunes, wal
nuts, almonds, apples, pears, olives and figs,
and such other products in their season as
could be readily distributed among con-
sumers. l know that it would be popular
and profitable plan in the small cities and
towns of the East
"The producers might send their goods in
great bulk to the central markets and dis
tribute them from there by and through
the channels of trade established by a COM
petent corps of travelling statesmen. The
plan is so simple and so easily system
atized that l am surprised it has not been
adopted long before this. When left Chi
cago and went to visit in the smaller towns
of Ohio and Illinois l was surprised to find
that no California oranges, apples or nuts
could be obtained. questioned merchants
on the subject and was told that California
fruits had been heard of and much longed
for, but the people had never had an OPP
portunity of buying them or testing their
merits.
California wines and brandies have a
high standing among druggists because of
their purity, but there is no system for
supplying the general market, and there
fore the demand has been practically linn
tied to an Improperly limited supply. If
the people in the smaller cities IN the East
are given chance such as I have sug-
gested they will soon create market for
the products raised in the orchards and
vineyards of this State"

LONG LOST MANUSCRIPTS.
Gear Alexander Ordered a Rigid Search
for Hidden Treasures.

Gear Alexander Ordered Rigid Search
for Hidden Treasures.
The order of the late Gear to search
the subterranean halls and rooms of the
great Kremlin, at Moscow, for hidden
treasures has aroused great interest, not
only in Russia but throughout the civil
lied world. The prime reason for the order
is the belief that in some far-away cell is
hidden the famous library of Ivan ",
surnamed the Terrible. Ivan was the
Louis XI of Russia. 1t is known that the
famous ruler devoted the little leisure left
him by war and politics to collecting Greek
and Latin manuscripts, and it is believed
that more than eight hundred of these
precious documents are concealed in some
underground cavern of the palace in
which he passed much of his time. Most
OF these manuscripts, according to Russian
scholars, upon whose recommendation the
Car has acted, are unknown to the Occi-
dental world, and may change many of
the accepted Greek and Latin traditions.
The result of the tour of discovery is,
therefore, awaited with deep interest, not
only by Russian savants, but by scholars
all over the world.
Many other things of value-intrinsic
and discretionary be brought to light by
the search in these caverns. The Kremlin
IS the most important building in all Rus
STA. The name alone exercises even to-day
mysterious influence over every son and
daughter of the gold-domed country. 1t
is the monument of the glory-and misery
OF Russia. Its history is the history of
modern Russia. 1t has been devastated
by the Tartars. it has been burned by the
Poles, it has bean occupied by Napoleon.
1t saw Peter the Great grow to manhood;
1t saw the fall of Boris Godounof and the
False Dimitri. 1t has been spotted with
the blood of the innocent and stained with
the blood of the guilty. But, with all it's
history, it inspires Russian to-day with
feeling to which words can give no ade-
quate expression.
In the dark caverns are supposed to be
not only manuscripts of Cicero, Caesar,
Tacitus and the Greek writers, but docu-
ments relating to the history of Russia,
testaments OF ancient Russian princes and
papers left by the Monaghan Khans, who
once held sway within its walls
Russian writer's of the seventeenth CEN
fury mention the library of Ivan ", and
say that the subterranean vaults contain
other almost countless treasures hidden by
the Car and princes in time of war and
invasion. The only fear is that the manu-
scripts have been destroyed by the book
worm, the dampness natural to the depths
in which they are supposed to be, or the
effects of time. Weeks, or even months,
may go by before the search is ended. but
Alexander l II has earned the thanks of all
students for commencing work which
Cars before him declined to undertake.

There is strange variety of pawnshops

and municipal pawnshops. In no case,
however, can it be more than "a per cent.
There are about 100 publicly managed
pawnshops in Germany. In Berlin, at the
Koniglichen Leihamt, Munich, Hamburg,
Dantzic Strasburgsand many other large
towns, the interest is IL per cent The
Berlin royal pawnshop pays 10 per cent on
its capital, and gives the surplus every year
to charitable purposes.
At Dresden the interest is per cent, at
Leipsic per cent, and in some towns less.
The penod for the loans ranges from three
to sixteen months. The interest is fire.

est on small pawns. Almost all the mu-
nicipaI pawnshops are connected with the
savings banks, and are self-supporting.
In most towns they advance loans on secu-
rites at 4 or per cent. There is great
elasticity and diversity about the German
system of pawnshops, but on the whole the
compare favorably with the French Mont

In Austria the system is somewhat SINH.
lar to that in Germany. There are royal
pawnshops in Vienna and Prague, which
charge 10 per cent interest. There are pro-
vincial pawnshops, and In many towns
municipal pawnshops If the authorities
do not establish pawnshops, or if they do
not supply the needs of the population,
private enterprise is allowed to step In, but
is kept very closely under control. The
pawnbrokers have to give guarantees, and
their shops are under inspection.
