that IL is the sheerest nonsense to talk
about reforming him. Society demands
TO be rid Of such creatures at once and
forever. How much or how little the
death penalty acts as a deterrent upon
other criminally disposed persons is a
subject that need not enter into the
question. Society has a right to ask
permanent protection from a man who
has committed murder in the first de-
gree. and such protection cannot be
guaranteed II the fiend is locked up
subject to the chances Of pardon by

scale to waste any sympathy upon.

a Princes Purse

When 1t comes to money matters,
the emperor of Germany is not a thrifty
individual. He has millions to spend
in the way of fixed income from the
state. and he spends 1t lavishly. From
his prudent grandfather, the first en-
peror, Kaiser William is said to have
inherited about fifteen million dollars.
1t is reported throughout Europe that
these millions have been spent and
many millions more with them. For
eign newspapers have recently printed
a report which first found publicity in
Vienna to the effect that several Ger
man bankers have lately been called
six million dollars. that amount being
needed. II is said. in order to square
the emperor's accounts.
Before the empire was established,
Berlin was essentially a provincial
city. It was the capital of Prussia.
and it was thoroughly German. The
royal household was of comparatively
modest pretensions. 1t was one of the
cheapest cities in Europe TO live In;
life in Berlin was simplicity itself.
Since 1871. however. the changes have
been great. The city has become cos
mopolitan. The court and the army
have revolutionized social life. For
the average resident in Berlin the or
binary living expenses have perhaps
doubled. Labor has been restless, and
with reason. since the increase in
wages has not kept pace with the
added cost of living. Berlin's ambition
is to rank as the most brilliant of
capital cities.
For modern-day extravaganza in
Berlin the emperor appears to set the
pace and even for his private purse the
pace is evidently too swift. He seems
20 be reckless regarding the future. He
may live long enough to learn that he
has been sowing the wind only to reap
the whirlwind. He is thirty-six years
old. he has had but seven years on the
throne: and IL the present political
tendencies In Germany continue, II is
reasonable to assume that the German
people will be less and less disposed to
vote largess to royalty.

CHEATING THE WORKERS.
How the Silver Men Propose to Fine the
Workingmen $3.50, 100000.

How the Silver Men Propose to Fine the
WOrkingmen $25O,OOO,OOO.
To the query how unlimited silver
coinage would affect the working men
and women who make up the great body
of depOsitors in the savings banks, Pres
ident James MacMahon of the Emigrant
Industrial Savings bank of this city has
made plain answer The loans made
by the savings banks for their dcpositors
would be repaid in "silver dollars actu-
ally worth 30 cents" They would be
compelled to give these to their deposit
ors In this city alone these loans (not
including United States bonds) amount
to the enormous sum of 1927, 1913, 100.
The loss on them would be 1868, 906,-
500.
This is money lent by the working
people of New York. They arc to this
vast extent members of that hated "cred-
itor class" whom the silver orators de-
nounco. These are their "hoards, and
the interest on them is a part of the
cancer" that these cranks say is "eat-
ing the heart of industry" in our un-
happy land. And the silver men pro-
pose, if they can, to fine these working
men $3.50, 900, 900. Can there be any
possible justice i'll policy which inflicts
such monstrous and irreparable wrong
Oh multitudes of men and women whose
only fault is that they work hard and
save their money?-New York Times

Mexico on q Silver Basis.

A prominent professor in one of the
big universities of New England writes
the Chamber of Commerce regarding the
silver question as follows:
"The present free coinage craze is as
old as the days Of Jack Cade, when his
followers hoped to bring on the millen-
mum by making the pint measure hold
two pints, and the twopenny loaf sell
for II penny. His descendants today
want so cents worth of silver to pass for
a dollar. The sophistry is all the more
apparent when it is remembered that free
silver does not mean an unlimited de-
mand for that metal, but only an unlim-
tied supply.
"Mexico has free coinage of silver.
"Mexico is Oh silver basis.
"The wages in Mexico in mining and
agriculture vary from 10 to 80 cents
day in Mexican money, which is from 8
to Is cents in United States money.
"The average for farm labor a day in
Mexico is 20 cents in Mexican money or
10 cents in United States money.
eff free silver can raise prices, why
does it not raise the prices Of wages in
MeXicO?'

machines in the United States minis and
employ several thousand of their faith
full, mind cure followers at feeding these
machines, keeping them in good work
ing condition and in carting the treas
ures away. Bryan estimates that in one
year all of the available silver in the
world could be passed through these ma
chimes. This will double the value Of all
silver, and therefore of all wealth, for
silver is the only true measure Of wealth.
We will therefore have twice as much
food and clothing as now, and will en-
joy such prosperity that some of those
now suffering from lack of food may be
expected to become insane with joy.
AS soon as we get accustomed to 1G to
I prosperity SO that we can stand q
greater amount, Bryan will introduce
his 8 to l machines, and in another year
wealth will again be doubled. The daz-
cling prosperity that will follow will be
likely to overcome many who, only two
or three years before, had been over
worked and underfed Many cases of
prosperity sunstroke arc expected to fol-
low the use of Bryan's 4 to and to
machines, which will be employed as
soon after the use Of the to l machine
as public safety will permit. The mil
lennium will certainly dawn when tho
to machine begins to get in its work.
Those who have not succumbed to over
doses of prosperity can then have every
thing that human desire could ask for,
including all Of the necessaries and lux
uries of life, palaces at low rents, steam
yachts, plenty of leisure, with little Or
no work-in fact, an abundance of cv-
erything that can be produced on this
earth, with plenty of time for enjoyment
of same.
All of this is as it exists in the intox-
icated minds Of the 16 to silverites.
In actual practice it will be found that
the slot machine will work the reverse
Of what it's friends expect, and that half
dollars will come out instead of the
whole dollars dropped in. All who are
now putting sound money in savings
banks, life, fire or accident insurance
policies, building and loan, and all
similar associations, will, under 16 to 1
free coinage, get out only unsound mon
ey-that is, dollars worth only about so
cents. Fiat money is and always has
been as poor substitute for sound mon
ey as was alchemy for chemistry.

How One Man Felt the Influence of Free
Silver Agitation.

How One Man Felt the Influence of Free
Silver Agitation.
A little local story has come to light
showing how this free silver agitation
has hurt business for one man i'll the
city of jackson. Some months ago a To-
cal life insurance man went to one of tho
rich men of the city with view to get
ting him to insure his life. By dint of
frequent visits and much talk the agent
got the gentleman to promise to take out
policy in his company, the premiums
on which would have been something
like 81 900 per year.
The day was set to close the contract
and sign the papers, Now it is well
known that this agent is great free sill
yer man and talks it wherever he goes.
When he went to close tho bargain, the
rich man said to him: II have been
thinking about this free silver business
and dislike to take out such large
policy. don't know but that this free
silver will carry, and then my people
will be paid off in cheap money. 1t is
too much of Il risk at this time" The
agent, who had had visions of big fat
commission looming up before him, be-
gan to get uneasy and talked with might
and main and told the rich man that
this free silver business was all talk and
there was not the slightest danger in
the world of its ever becoming law.
He put up a mighty pretty talk, and
tried all persuasions at his command on
the prospective policy holder, but all to
no avail. The gentleman was firm and
said under the condition of things now
existing he could not afford to have his
family paid off in deprecated currency
and refused to take out tho policy This
is only sample of what the free silver
agitation is doing for the country
