saved the American Union from dis

OF patriotism is absurd and false, and ID
instigated by ignorance and treason,
in order to do homage to cOwsrdly gold
which never can be made to do service foE
the people In times Of necessity and
danger. Even the great (H) Napoleon,
the famous "brigsnd Of Europe" tried 10
use gold as q war money, but ulti-
matsly broke his back in the effort.
Gold is the God Of treason, and it is no
safer to worship golden idol now than

The Capital says that, at the time
time the bullion report Was made ENG.
land was suffering from q deprecated

Let as see. During the "discusaion Of
that report, Mr. VRnsittRrt introduced
the following resolution:
"ThRt the promissoEY notes OF the
said company the Bank OF England
have hitherto been, and are Rk thls time,
held in public estimation TO be squivs-

That resolution was directly in the
teeth Of the leading proposition Of the
bullion report. Il passed the house by
a vote Of 50 to AZ, Sir Robert Peel Vot-
ing FOR it.
On May II, 1916, Earl Liverpool
stated in the house Of commons that:
"MRny Of the .spsoulRtions published
in tho report of the bullion committee had
been completely falsifsd by events" {"
(AliSOn, vol. l., p. n, second seriea.)
And o generation later, in 1846, Mr..
Alison, In the History Of Europe, said:
Notwithstanding al that the spirit
Of party may have alleged, there does
not appear to have been any traces Of

Marriage In England.

One of the surprising things to Amer
lean women in England is the number
of English women who marry men
from five to twenty years younger than
themselves The action of the Baro-
ness Burdett-Coutts in taking so young
a husband as Mr.. Bartlett is by no
means uncommon in all grades of
English society. and bit of shock to
the romantic-minded American, who
prefers to let her husband have quite
the advantage of her in point of years at
least. 1t was with almost n little gasp
of horror a sentimental little American
was told of the first meeting between
Mrs. Richie, Thackeray's daughter,
and her present husband. His mother
was a dear friend of Miss Anne Thack-
cray. who, one day. when about twenty
years old, dropping into the Richie
home. received the interesting imfor-
nation of brand new arrival in the
household. Proud Mrs Richie her
self placed the wee Richard in Miss
Thackeray's arms, as that young lady
remarked with a laugh: $50 it is
another pink little boy come to make
the Richie family happy" 1t was the
same Richard Ritchie who after years
made Miss Anne Thaekeray his wife
