to read long apology to England by
President Cleveland for the existence OF

not to be issued for the information of the
general public, but only privately circu-
lated among the custom houses. This was

competent Fifty-third congress, and If it
doesn't indicate desire to conceal the
facts and figures of our commerce under
the new tariff bill, what was its purpose?

PROGRESSIVE IN SIN.

1t is often said by adherents to the
single standard faith that all the pro-
gressive nations of the earth use gold
as the sole money metal and that should
the United States resume the use of
silver it would put it on the same plane
with Mexico Mexico, pointed to with
scOrn by the goldbug, is fast becoming
a leading nation and though just en-
crying from the gloom of semi-barbar-
ism owing solely to the unlimited sup
ply of the circulating medium, silver
though it may be, will soon be stepping
into the front rank. But in what way
do these gold-standard nations excel?
England excels in paupers, having
895,3l9; Italy excels in murders, having
an annual average crop Of 2,47O; Ger
many excels in the consumption of
beer, using 52,722638 hectolitres Ia
hectolitre is equal to 26,414 gallons);
the United States has a prison popula-
ton of $4,000. Some of the most di-
abOliCal crimes committed happen in
these progressive" countries and in
England, the home of the gold stand
ard, uncomfortable crimes that would
have brought the blush of shame to
the cheek of the most hardened
SOdOmite have been committed by
members of the nobility and the lead
ers of the progressive van. Poverty
and crime are everywhere rampant and
ever increasing in these countries that
are so enlightened and progressive"
What is the reason? Wealth makes
brutes Of those who posses it unearn-
ed, the lack Of it makes demons of
those who desire it. History has told
the tale of a similar condition, and man
fell from an enlightened period into
the depths Of the dark ages.
England is the best defined type of
these nations. Its history is more bar
barrie than that of the Roman empire.
It has always been tyrant, and
some of the most hideous conquests
has been done under the cloak of piety
and progression. 1t forced the simple
Chinese to accept missionaries and
opium in the same consignment, and
wherever its drumbeats can be heard
there also will be found restitution.
suffering, want, crime and oppression;
the English fairplay' is an ignis fat
Jus, chimera. This progressive" ma
ton toward which the goldbug points
with pride, once hanged $4,000 poor
wretches whose only crime was beg
ging for food that they might not
starve. God deliver this country from
such recOrd-rather take our ideal
from simple, pastoral Mexico, silver
and all.
