at will be seen that the world pro-
duced more gold in the year 1853 than it
has any year since then. With increas-
ing population and increasing demand
for gold there has been no increase in the
annual supply since 1858. If we go back
to 1S49 (see the table heretofore intro
duced), the irregularity is more marked
The production of the two metals com :
bined is more regular than either separ-
ately and is safer to rely on for a stable
money measurement of value than either
could be separately.
"Where two metals are relied on for
money, with the right of the debtor to
paw in either if the demand for money is
sufficient, this demand regulates the
commercial value of the two metals at
the ratio fixed by law. Supply and de-
n!and affect the value of these metals
the same as all other property When
the law beStOws the full function CT
money upon these metals it creates a
use for them that they did not before
have. (Applause.) A new use to an ar
ticle adds to it's value. The new use of
corn for making glucose, candy and mo-
lasses has increased it's value. The ex-
tent to which corn can be supplied is
virtually unlimited, and, with other
farm productions Improbable, the corn
crop will increase and the price will
drop.
'In the case of the two metals we are
considering they differ from corn in this:
The use of these metals for money, when
given full money functions, is COMPARE
lively unlimited. The supply, unlike
corn, is limited. Their geological forna-
ton and the experience of mankind in
their search for and development prove
this. The abnormal demand for money
in all ages, and now at tension; the fact
that tens of thousands of men are con-
tinually searching for the metal from
which it is made, and the further fact that
all that is now in existence outside of
useful articles and ornaments can, if
melted down, be put into three rooms of
this building, prove conclusively that
the supply is limited. We can, there
fore, better understand the effect to be

read you a few facts he gives that will be
educational to you and will then give you
the conclusions he draws. In 1890, ac-
cording to the reports of Mr.. Leach, the
minis of the United States and the private
refining works furnished to industry gold
bars of the value of $14,9O5, sol, but aside
from this the goldsmiths are in the habit
of melting down quantity, not actually
known, of gold coins. Formerly, accord
ing to the information gathered in four
different years, this amount was estimat-
ed at $3,50O,000. If no decrease has oc-
CURED in this employment Of coin, says
Mr.. Leach, then the value of the gold con-
sumed in industry in the United States in

GOLD OBLIGATIONS WILL BE PAID
IN GOLD.
Il want to speak now of this: There is
great concern among some of our citi-
zens hiatt if free coinage of silver is adop-
ted those holding gold obligations will
be paid in silver, also that gold will leave
us, and debtor who owes gold will not
be able to get it without paying a high
premium in order to discharge his debt
Both of these questions can be answered
together. Gold obligations would be
paid in gold and not in silver. To secure
the gold with which to do this would not
be so difficult as it is now. It would oper-
ate this way:
CAS- soon as the United States opens it's
mints and confers on silver the full fun
ctions of money, with the right to no one
thereafter to make debt payable in gold
for under the bimetallic law there would
be no such right; debts thereafter would
be payable in either metaD, the demand
for gold would be withdrawn except to
pay previous debts thus payable. When
you withdraw the demand in such a
pronounced way from an article it must
decline in value. (Applause) With the
demand thus suddenly thrown on silver
to supply the United States with money
it's value would rapidly advance. Gap
plause) You have suddenly transferred
the demand from one metal to the other.
One must necessarily decline and the
other advance relatively. Hence, you
could buy the gold cheaper then than
now. (Applause) Gold is now at pre-
MUM of 100 per cent over silver. In ex-
changing your property for gold now you
are paying 100 per cent premium over
what you did in 1873.
Suppose on silver coming into use as
primary money that gold went to pre-
MUM of Is per cent do not admit this,
but state the hypothesis to allay your
fears-you would then exchange your

Electricity In the Bessemer Process.

A new invention, one that may turn out
to be one of the greatest of tho age, was
tested at the Homestead Steel works tho
other evening and proved very successful.
1t was the test of plan for relocating steel
by electricity under the Bessemer process.
Steel men have tried to solve the problem
of preventing the chilling, but all have
failed. Recently G. NJ. Schwab, manager
of the Homestead plant, and A. G. Din
key, head electrician, put their minds to
work on plan to obviate the difficulty by
the use Of electricity. A heat there was
allowed to become somewhat "cold, and
the electricity was introduced. The effect
was startling. The molten steel, about 20
tons, that was lying dead in the ladle, i'm
mediately began to boil and in a few mo-
ments reached white heat. The blaze
assembled several feet above the ladle and
was of binding intensity The steel was
poured, but over dozen workmen had
their eyes burned badly.-Philadelph

GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
The New Lock at sault Ste. Marie Is II
Wonder.
Your most obedient & humble
Boston Budget.

The New Lock at Sault Ste. Marie Is II
Wonder.
General Craighill, chief of engineers,
who recently returned from visit to the
works on the grCat lakes between Detroit
and Lake Superior, is very enthusiastic
over what he saw. He declares that tho
most important work in the world is I'M
der the direction of Colonel Poe. The lock
at Sault Ste. Marie is the largest in tho
world and when completed will allow YES
sells Of 81 feet draft to pass through.
The general hopes that the work will be
completed next year, and it will be none
too soon, as the present lock and canal are
wholly inadequate to supply the demand
of commerce. Vessels waited at the Sault
canal for hours while General Craighill
was there and could not be accommodated.
When the new lock and canal are completed
the large boats will make use Of them, and
the smaller vessels and smaller craft can
use the old lock, which will greatly facili-
tate navigation. 1t is also q gratifying
fact to General Craighill that the work at
the canal and the improvements looking
to deep water channel from Duluth and
Chicago to Buffalo are being done within
the estimates.
The Canadians arc building lock on
the other side of the Sault, bu it is not so
large as the new lock being built by the
United States and will not accommodate
the same amount Of business.-W Washing

The Ball Nozzle.

According to Chief Bonner of the New
York fire department, the ball nozzle which
excitos so much interest throughout the
country is destined to work radical and
highly beneficial change in the system OF
fighting fire. Instead of working at a dis
lance with straight streams, frGmon, by
using the ball nozzle, can enter burning
buildings and work at close range, thus
not only doing more effective work, but
averting to a considerable extent the seri-
Gus damage to interior property, and in
many cases this system will enable firemen
to save the lives of inmates of burning
buildings. The man who has given the
world an appliance of such value is GER
tainly entitled to the gratitude Of his fell
low men. New York Tribune.

Want Living Wages.

For the past five weeks the women en-
ployees of ex-Postmaster General John
Wanamaker have been holding secret
meetings under the guise of musicales and
entertainments, but in reality with view
to organize for the bctterment of their
condition. AS result four assemblies
have been formed, representing over 1000
employees. The object is to rid themselves
of the petty tyranny of floor and aisle
walkers and compel their employer to give
them better wages The average salary Of
the saleswomen is about 81 week, and
they say they cannot live on that. The
movement has the sympathy of the sales
women of all the other large dry goods
firms in Philadelphia. Dis

International Agreement to Protect Birds.

International agreement has been reach
ed on the protection of birds, the govern
ments represented at the recent conference
in Paris promising to establish regulations
in accordance with its proposals within
three years. Game birds were not meddled
with. The birds to be protected between
March and September, as being useful to
agriculture, are owls and all nocturnal
birds of prey, birds of passage including
martins, swallows, finchos, yellow ham
mers, wrens, starlings, rodbreasts, peewits
and storks and the climbing birds, like
woodpeckers. Birds not to be protected
are those that prey by day, eagles, vul-
lures, kites, hawks, crows, magpies jays,
herons, bustards, pelicans and cormorants,
though the latter list is open to objections.

Utilizing Old Magazines.

A hint of the most commendable use tC
be made of old magazines is contained in
the report Of the librarian of the Los An.
geles public library. All the magazines
that are not needed for binding and other
uses are taken apart and the illustrations
cut out and mounted on cards of gray
bristol board. These pictures are classified
and form sets for illustrating lessons in
geography, history and literature. The
pictures of artists and their works are val
liable to another class of students. The
first are of great assistance to the teachers
in the public schools. The funny pictures
are taken to the hospitals to make the pa
tients smile.-Detroit Free Press.
