done in any other state FOR the same len

noticeable record by gathering these little
ones together in some central place and
caring for them there. But this would
have been much moro expensive. and it
would have been at the expense also very
largely of the feelings of the children.
Our thought ia that it is enough that the
children are poor; their poverty should
be placed on parade and made the
glazing-stock of tho general psblic, blu
they should be taken from their unhappy
environments and transported as soon ne
possible to good homes, that they ma
feel as little possible the ignominy of the
poverty, the disgrace or the crime Of
which they arc the victims and rot the
cause.

PRACTICAL rkntrE REFORM.
Agricultural Products Raised In Price asd
Wages Increased.

Higher praise could not be bestowed
upon political party thar that which
is implied in the daily reports of indus
trial revivals and wage increases, re-
marks the St, Louis Republic in a recent
editorial.
Take, for instance, Il summary pub
lished in The Globe Democrat Satur-
day. In the great manufacturing dis
trict of the country, embracing New
England and the middle states, this is
the condition reported:
More than so important industrial
undertakings, which had been idle, have
started up since April ] giving employ
ment to 10000 operatives and work
men. Some Of these have already enjoy
cd advances in wages, voluntarily offer
cd in most instances The reports show
that at the points covered no fewer than
100000 industrial employees are recciv-
ing higher wages than they were get
ting two months ago, an average i'm
provcmcnt Of nearly 10 per cent Dur
ing tho like period only 81 900 indus
trial employees in tho region specified
had struck for any reason, and OF this
total only 81 900 for higher wages. "
In tho interior manufacturing district,
between Cleveland on the east and Den
yer on tho west, 90 important establish.
ments have started their wheels since
April !, new employment has been fur
nishcd to 81, 600 persons, and tho wages
OF 80, 600 more have been raised about
10 per cent.
And this is tho result Of practical tar
if reform and Democratic rule.
Agricultural products have all risen
in price. Cotton and corn, the two great
sources Of farm profit have reached
higher points than for several years
When the Democratic party took hold,
trade had suffered from tho Mckinley
tariff and confidence in the governments
currency had been shaken by wasteful-
ness and blunders The Republican pan
10 was too we'll under way to be ut once
stopped.
Two years havo passed and tho Re-
publican wrecks have been cleared away.
Tho Democratic tariff is raising wages
and proving that McKinleyism is the
enemy Of American labor. Freely NOV
ing, natural trade gives tho highest re.
turns and the stcadiest employment.

pended upon the high protection which

GOOD MONEY MUST HAVE VALUE.
Scarcity of Gold Makes II the Best Me-
dunn of Exchange.

But what does Mr.. Harvey mean by
world? 1t is simply because gold is not
as abundant ms iron or copper that 1t
has been chosen rs a medium of en-
change, and small bulk of it is suffi-
cient for the worlds business on ac-
count of its great value Should he be
able to make gold rs cheap as iron,
then gold would be rs inconvenient rs
iron for purposes of currency.
Again, if the contention of our silver
friends be true that by demonstrating
silver" half the money of the world has
been extinguished and therefore prices
cut III two. will somebody explain why,
with prices at that basis, the one-half
of tho money remaining Is not just as
adequate for the purposes of business as
would be twice that amount If each
piece were worth half rs much as meas
urcd III the price of goods? And how Is
the effective volume of circulation
that is, the amount of money avalla-
Bile in proportion to the business to be
done--to be increased by any process
which proposes to increase the amount
of currency III order that prices may be
increased in proportion? Will not the
then volume of currency be equally as
restricted rs is the present volume in
proportion to the amount of transactions
to be settled thereby?
If Mr. Harvey changes the figures i'll
his ledger so as to make each one dou-
bio what il is now and then doubles the
nominal amount Of his money rs ex-
pressed i'll dollars, will he have any
more currency for his business ON the
new basis than he had en- the old2 Or
does he claim that the denominations
into which money is coined make any
difference; If SO, he and the rest of us
can be made happy at once by getting
more 10 cent pieces, quarters and half
dollars in exchange for our fiat silver

EASILY EXPLAINED.
why American Woolens Can BE Sold Ia
English Markets.

The treasurer of wooden mill at
Nashua. N. a.. is puzzled over the ex-
port of certain American woods to Eu
rope and asks this question: IF it takes
80 to 40 per cent to protect our homo
production, and even then fails to do it,
how can these same goods 60 into the
market of our strongest competitor and
sell at a margin of proft?"
The explanation is easy enough. Eng
lish manufacturers have taken up the
neglected side of the market, and free
raw material now enables American
makers to send abroad fabric to which
little attention has been given hereto
fore at price below the Bradford fig
ures The manufacturer has devoted his
time to the coarser wooden goods, and
since the new tariff bill opens the door
to the finer kinds of fabric he is occupy
ing both sides Of the market TO an ad-
vantage never before known.
The New Hampshire treasurer is not
the only mill owner with puzzle be-
fore him The wooden goods maker ev-
erywhere realizes and recognizes ut last
that free raw material means an open
market both ut home and abroad, and
that the stone fence to one side com

THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION.
Most Remarkable Improvement Known
In Many Years

In Many Years
Tho frequent reports of resumption Of
work by Industrial establishments which
were closed during tho recent depression
and of increases of wages have led to u
careful canvass of tho industrial situa-
ton in tho manufacturing centors Of the
country. Tho results offer most encour
aging proof OF general and pronounced
industrial revival.
The investigation covers tho period
from April |, when tho indications of
reviving trade began to bc manifest, to
juno L. Within that timo 227 manu-.
featuring plants, which had been idle,
resumed operation, giving employment
to SO, 400 operatives. Tho total number
Of employees who have received nd
vances of wages Of not less than 10 per
cent in the Same period is us, 900. The
number of employees striking for higher
wages has been reduced from 80, 900 to
%, 900
This il u remarkable showing, not
equaled for any period of equal duration
within many years. Improves conclusive
ly that tho better times predicted ut the
beginning of tho year arc hero. The Of
feet of tho renewal of profitable activity
in manufacturing will DO folt more and
moro in NIL branches of trade. Tho coun-
try is undoubtedly on tho verge Of n
great boom in business st. Louis Post

An interesting question has been
raised as to the effect of electric wires
in cities upon atmospheric electricity,
or, In other words, whether the danger
from lightning is increased or decreas-
ed by their presence. The American
Meteorological Journal gathers from II
German publication that the result of
investigation has been to show that the
wires tend to weaken the severity of
thunder storms and to decrease the
danger from lightning.

WOULD DRIVE AWAY GOLD.
Generalization OF Silver Always Has That
Effect.

Free coinage of silver at the ratio Of
le to l would, under existing conditions,
put into circulation silver dollars intrin.
sically worth about so cents EACH while
the gold dollar would continue to he
worth here and everywhere else in the
markets 100 cents, or the equivalent Of
100 cents, in the purchase Of property
and in ctfecting foreign exchanges; but
here at home the debt paying power Of
the gold dollar would be no greater than
the debt paying power Of the deprecated
silver dollar, and consequently every
body would pay in silver, and gold
would cease to be used as money. This
is what has happened in every part Of
the world when the difference between
the intrinsic or commercial values of the
two metals and their legal tender values
was large enough to make it profitable
for bullion brokers and spectators to
deal in the undervalucd coin as COM
modify, A small percentage Of difference
has always been sufficient for this pur
pose, as our own experience proves.
From 1902 to 1884 the legal ratio be-
tween the two metals in this country
was . to !, which was an generalization
of silver, and during all that period the
difference between the commercial ratio
and the legal ratio never amounted to
moro than very few cents on the dol
lar, and yet all our gold left MS, and we
had practically silver monomctallism,
but in 1884 Andrew Jackson, John G.
Calhoun, Thomas H. Benton and other
Democratic statesmen of that day de-
termined that the people of the United
States should have gold for use i'll their
business, and congress changed the ratio,
making it IS to /. This was very
small differentiation Of silver in the
coins, and tho result was that, although
there were times when the commercial
and legal ratio were very nearly the
same, legal tender silver went out Of cir
culation and we had practically gold
monomctallism. II these results follow
ed tho establishment of legal ratios,
which conformed very nearly to the ac-
tual commercial ratio, can there be
shadow Of a doubt MS to what would be
the effect Of authorizing the free and
unlimited coinage of legal tender silver
at the legal ratio, which would overvalue
that metal about 100 per cent? In other
words, can there be doubt us to the ef-
feet of law which would enable every
holder of gold coins or gold bullion to
exchange each dollars worth Of his
metal for two legal silver dollars and
pay his debts with them?-From Score

THE BALL STILL ROLLING.
From Every Side Come Reports Of In

creased Business and Higher Wages.
A retrospect of theincrease of wages
since the latter part of March shows that
no less than 27S large business establish
ments have increased pay from 10 to Is
per cent
Take the individual wage earners
that have been benefited, according to
the number Of people stated to be en-
ployed in these concerns, and they foot
up population Of 1874, 900 workers.
All this has been accomplished in IA
few weeks. And what is all the more
gratifying is the fact that i'll nearly ev-
cry case the increase has been voluntary.
Nor 90 these facts by any means in
themselves alone express the entire in
crease of prosperity secured. 1t means
enlarged markets-the growth Of faith
in the nation that has stimulated con-
sumption and banished conservatism i'll
production.
Three years ago under the sway Of
McKinleyism we began to lose ground.
We have now set out to recover it, ana
the ball is still rolling The calamity
cry is heard no more in the land. The
present drift under a Democratic tariff
bill is doing more to bury ultra protec-
ton than tons of oratory and high sound
