quiet work of the Barthodi Creche Randall =

place to which a mother take her sick babe
at a moments notice. any hour OF the day, and

testimonies to usefulness in preventing nfante
Illness and saving infant life abundant; ana
because Of Its easy access. and OF the general
closing Of all other fresh-alr charitable resorts It
Is kept open through the sulry days OF September
and till near the end of that month.
AS its value has become better known 10 the
poor through the dispensaries and missions. Its
beneficiaries have greatly increased. Last summer
the visits Of children and mothers numbered .3GS
while already this season up TO last Saturday even

China. Lions ~ solid o.,A.

In front of the imperial palace 81
Picking two massive statues of lions
Of supernatural size, made entirely
Of solid gold, have been standing
since times immemorial. When the
combined English and French ar
mics advanced upon Peking in 1860.
the Chinese painted these statues
gray, so that the Europeans took
them for bronze and left them alone.
When recently the japanese threat
ened an invasion of the sacred pre-
cincts Of China's capital, both lions
were taken from their pedestals and
hurriedly secreted. After peace
again reigned supreme in the Flow

ders to return the lions upon their
former places. The value Of these

Money Only . Tool.

money is the lifeblood Of trade" is
8 favorite fallacy Of the silverites and
fat money i%n1ationists. This idea arises
from ignorance Of the real nature Of the
operations Of industry and commerce.
Money is merely one Of the tools u
business Its functions have no resem-
blance to that of the blood in the human
system. II does nothing fireplace goods
which have been consumed, nor does it
Of itself produce anything or add to the
wealth Of the country. The real life
blood Of business is the volume Of the
products Of farm, mine Or Workshop con-
tinuously flowing all over the country.
They furnish us with the means Of SUBJ
sistence, renew u strength and minis
ter in a Thousand ways to our necessities
and comforts They are the true life
blood Of trade.

entirely unsuited to the needs Ut a great
commercial nation like the United
States. Our present silver dollar is too
bulky and announcement for general use.
A coin twice as large, as q dollar worth
its face as bullion would necessarily be,
would not DO used at all Besides tho
continually changing value of silver,
owing to increased or decreased produc-
ton or consumption, would require its
constant recoining at great expense in
order to adjust the coin value to the
commercial value. There is no need of
such a coin, and as neither silverites nor
sound money advocates want it its dis
advantage need not be seriously discuss
ed. The American people want neither
II 9-5 grains gold dollars or 742H
grains silver dollars, and agitators for
either are merely disturbing business to
no purpose. Neither do they wish to
risk the great dangers Of experimenting
with different ratios unless it is abso-
lutely certain that they will be benefit
ed by the change.

The Gold Endorsement Sustain, Silver.

The Gold Endorsement Sustains Silver.
Tho theory that we have lately had
bimetallism is as baseless as the sug-
gestion that we had 1t in the early part
Of the century. If I offer my note when
my credit is not good, nc one will dis
count it; If I procure the Endorsement
Of one whose credit is good, it will be
discounted at once. It would be the in
dorsement, however, and not the note
which would have passed current For
q generation our half dollars, quarter
dollars. etc., have nominally passed cur
rent. Actually, however, it is the gold
Endorsement Of the government that has
been accepted. A silver dollar today
consists of half a dollars worth of sill
ver. With the gold Endorsement of a
solvent government it passes for a dol
lar. That is, the gold Endorsement pass
es for the remaining so cents that Is
not in the coin. To say that we have
bimetallism, and that silver coins pass
on q par with gold, is just as sensible,
and no more so, as to state that my note
for Fl, 900, 900 is as good as Mr.. Astor's
simply because that when I have gotten
him to indorse mine it is discounted at
the same rate as is his. And just as
even MI. Astor's paper would be
promptly refused were it found that be
had presented me with O ream Of blank
checks Endorsed by him, which l pro-
posed to sign and use, SO the gold in
dorsement Of the government would be
promptly discredited should it bind it
self by law to give its gold Endorsement
to an unlimited quantity Of silver. The
silver dollars with the federal indorse-
ment would then be worth the silver in
them-only this and nothing more

An old legend taught that under the end of every rainbow could be found d
pot OF gold, and many foolish youths spent weary days seeking In vain for
the hidden treasure In these enlightened times we laugh at the folly of past
ages, yet many people still believe in promises of wealth which have 10 bet.
tel foundation than the ancient fairy tale. Senators Stewart and PETER, ex.
Congressman Bryan and Bland have their credulous followers, who are con-
WINGED that under the end OF the free coinage and fiat money rainbows they
will find untold riches Stories Of wonderful prosperity for everybody if only
more silver money is coined are listened to gravely by men who in the orli.
nary affairs of life ar shrewd aud sensible
But attractive as they doubtless are, these promises Of wealth to be had
through a mere change to a cheaper standard Of values are nothing but
financial fairy stories They arr based on the belief that governments CO.
create wealth by legislation and that people will be richer if they measure
their possessions in cheaper money Now as eer there are men who dream
OF wealth TO DO had without working for it and of schemes for business pros
perty which re wholly outside the actual world. Sooner or later MI these
must learn the lesson that nature yields wealth to labor only and that n abuu.
dance OF cheap money does not mean a rich country. Already the people who
Tor a time mislcd by the agents Of the silver mine owners are abandoning
their delusions, and have resolved to leave the world Of dreams and fancies
severely alone in the future. Chasing rainbows may be sport for idle bows.
but it s very poor business for intelligent men. ~ ~
