pie? IL does not appear that
any Of the persons who would

would freely distribute their
money to the masses, nor is
there any way by which the
people at large would be able to
get a dollar more than they are
getting under existing laws.
Nor is the government able to
get anything out Of the bullion

the mere coinage fee to pay ex-

A New Scheme

When the thought of the
country is SO largely directed to
the money question, says the
Atlanta Journal, it is natural
that many remedies for the real
and imaginary ills Of our finan-
cial system should be proposed
One Of the latest of these
comes from Mr.. Jordan. assis
tant treasurer of the United
States. His plan is to abolish
the sub.treasuries and have all
the banks, state and national,
make their clearances through
ole central bank. According
to the Jordan plan the banks
would establish their own sys-
tenn of security and inspection
and to issue all currency with
gold and silver bullion as its Sc.
curity. The funds Of the United
States would be deposited in the
banks through the clearing
house, the government to be Sc.
4
cured by equal deposits of Uni
ted States bonds
Mr.. Jordan contends that this
scheme would have manifold
advantages. In the first place
he says, that instead of 10000,
OO0 or 500, 900, 900 being locked
up in the vaults Of the treasury
and sub treasures, it would b
available for the use of the peo
Iple and would go far TOWARD
preventing panics and firancia
disturbances like those of 1894
| The other advantages claimed
for this plan is that it woul'
create a flexible and abundan
currency; that it would admi
of the freer use of silver as cur
rency security; would bring al
banks of all classes under an ef
fective system of security an,
inspection and would faciliat
transactions and exchanges.
It will be seen that Mr.. Jor
dams plan would involve radi
cal changes in our present cur
rency system, but coming as
. does from one who has give
the subject much study and
in a position to appreciate th
: weak points of the present sys
. tenn, it will alta { considerabl
attention.

lish cloths are sold in Germany
each nation commanding
the market for that which it
makest best.
The great thing that tariff re-
form has done for our manufac
turers is to admit them into this
international competition. to
make it possible for American
goods not only to hold the
American market, but to reach
foreign markets also, when they
are of a kind to command ac-
ceptance. Even a high tariff
did not keep out of this country
imported fabrics that were bet
than those made here; it only
increased their price to the pur-
chaser, while the tax on the ma
terial so increased the price of
the goods made here that they
could not compete abroad with
those made under a more liber-
al system.
The new tariff has removed
this disability. American goods
can now enter the markets OF
the world, wherever they can
show their superiority in quality
in design, in economy Of produc.
tion. Success is nowhere to be
won by artificial legislation; il
is to be won by skill and ex.
cellence, under the natural laws
of fair business competition.

Senior Don Antonio Canovas
Del Castillo was horn in 1880.
He made his debut in 1851. as
chief editor of the Patria, in
which he defended conservative
ideas. In 1854 he was named
Deputy Of Malaga, and since
that year he has never ceased
to occupy a seat in the Cortes.
He held several important posi-
tions under the government and
in 1864 he was minister Of fl
nance and the colonies. He drew
up the law for the abolition of
the traffic in slaves.
His greatest title to fame is
that of having been the first to
hoist the standard of legitimate
and constitutional monarchy IN
the full constituent assembly III
1861 in face of q triumphant
revolution. His fidelity: and ca
pacity definitely obtained for
him the supreme direction of
the Alfonsist party and in the
proclamation of Alfonso XII, as
king in December, 1874, Senior
Canovas Del Castillo became
president of the council and
chief of the new cabinet. This
Office he held until 1879, when
Marshal Martinez de Campos
became prime minister. Senior
Canoyas Del Castillo opposed
the marshal's free trade and
emancipation projects, and final
ly, in December, 1879, compelled
his resignation, and Senor Ca
noyas Del Castillo again came
into power and held the reins Of
government until 1881, when he
was overthrown by a coalition
between the supporters of Senol
Sagasta AMI Marshal Martinez
de Campos, and the former be-
came prime minister.

EngIand,s snoe Strike

The great strike among the
British shoe workers because the
shoe manufacturers insisted up
on introducing improved Amer
ican machinery isa modern phase
Of an old contest in the United
Kingdom, says the New York
Advertiser. Ever since machin-
cry began to be used in the arts
OF production there has been more
or less antipathy TO it on the part
Of workingmen. Formerly this
feeling manifested itself in the
wrecking Of the innocent contri-
vances or in the burning Of the
building in which they were sit
uated, but as snch lawlessness was
speedily put down, the working
men have recently sought to at
tain their ends through Labor
Unions. This weapon, however,
has proved to be as futile in the
long run as open attacks on prop
erty.
II Is undoubtedly hard that
workingmen should lose their oc'
cupations through the substition
Of mechanical devices for human
labor, but such is the inevitable
law Of industrial progress, and i
is folly 10 fight against it. Man
ufacturers must keep up with
modern processes Of production, Of
inevitably go TO the wall. British
shoe-makers declare that although
wages in their industry are twic'
as high here as in their own coun
try, il is only q matter Of him
when they will be driven out o
their own markets unless the!
employ the same efficient machin
cry which their American rival
do. If this assertion be true, anC

taken at once to warn the guests
of their danger. All occupants
escaped without injury. The
unfortunate men, in company
with four others, were cropping
about in the binding smoke in
the rotunda of the hotel whenthe
tile and cement floor gave way
precipitating them into the base
ment, where the four unfortu-
mates were mangledand suffoca-

managed to climb out, though
badly bruised and lacerated
and nearly overcome by the
dense smoke. It was more than
an hour after the accident that

was found. and fully two hours
later before the others were re-
moved.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Sev

wants to hold Cuba. France
and England want to hold their

The Monroe doctrine is freely

this doctrine was known as the
Holly Alliance, a treaty signed
BY the Gar Of Russia, the en-
peror Of Austria and the king OF
Prussia. while the ostensible
object Of this alliance was the
subordination Of politics to the
christian religion, the worldly
wise statesman Of this country
and of Europe knew well
enough that the three soyereigns
were seeking more practical
ends than the advancement Of
religion. 1t was know that they
