Silver in tiermany.

The Reichstag of Germany has taken
another step toward the adjustment
of the monetary question. As it was
Germany which led the way in depre-
ciating silver when Bismarck put the
finances of the country on a gold basis
after the adjustment of the French in
demnity, it is fitting that Germany
should take a prominent part in re
pairing the mischief. II is thus not
surprising that the Reichstag should
have assented to suggestion by
Count Won Mirbach, an agrarian lead.
err, that another International confer.
ence should be summoned TO consider
the currency question On behalf Of
the government, Prince Hohenlohe
admitted that the existing difference
in the value Of gold and silver was re-
acting upon the commercial life of
Germany, and promised that any new
scheme for remedial measures-to be
taken in concert with other nations
for the maintenance of silver as coin
metal would be carefully considered
There is no reason why the great
commercial nations, England, France,
Germany and the United States should
not agree upon a common ratio Of ex.
change fixing the relative value OF the
two metals. Such an agreement will
govern the exchanges until variation
occurred in the relative volume of the
product Of the two metals. 1t would

And find no enjoyment In JOY.
Is all that we carr worth the earning?
Is all that we can gain worth the prize
Is all that we learn worth the learning?
Is pleasure but pain In disguise?
Is sorrow e'er worth our detection?
Is fame but a fiatterer's spell?
Is love ever worth our affection?

o, where are the eyes that enthralled us,
And where are the lips that we kissed?
Where the syren-like voices that called US
And where all the hance we missed?
We know not what mortals call pleasure
For clouded are skies that were blue;
To dross now has melted our treasure,
And false are the hearts that were tr,e.
The flowers we gathered are faded,
The leaves Of our laurels are ahed;
Our spirit Is broken and faded,
The hopes of our youth are all dead.
We feel life Is hopeless and dreary,
Now night has o'ershadowed our day:
Bright fruits OF this earth only weary,
They ripen-to fall and decay!
I'm SICK Of the world and it's trouble,
For rest and seclusion l thirst;
I'm tired OF the tinted bubble,
That brighteneth only to burst!
