FALLING PRICES NO EVIL.
False and Cnsanna Position Taken by fhs
Free Silver Advocates.

Free Silver Advocates.
In ell free coinage arguments IL Is
taken for granted that falling prices are

eminent to take some action to increase
prices, or at least maintain them at their
present level. 1t is ca this ground thati

cial system and demand the ADOPTION OF
a cheaper standard Of value whlch
would double prices rs based on n dol
lar worth only so cents It is. this
promise Of getting higher prices that is
the cl.iof attraction in the free Coinage
agitation for the farmers, who natural
" wish to get as much as possible in re.
Turn for their products.
Though the delusiop which underlles
the complaints against lower prices has
been exposed over aud over again, 1t
still does duty IN all the free silver lit
~erature with which tho country is being
flooded. Yet a little reflection should
show the folly Of the idea that high
Dr. ces for commodities arc benetclal.
The welfare and prosperity OF tho reo-
pie depend largely On the amount OF tho
products Of labor which each can secure
for his w use. Since the dawn OF CIV
ilization men have been striving to pro-
duce larger quantities and better quail
ties Of food, clothing, etc. ALI the M
portans inventions, the new machinery
aud discoveries in agriculture, manufac-
turing and transportation, have had the
effect OF making the production OF
wealth Of all kinds vastly easier. In
consequence goods are o far cheaper,
, measured by their labor cost, thar ever
, before in tie history Of the world. Who
is tlore who will say that this is a bad
= thing, and that it would be better II
: goods were still scarce and dear?
It is noticeable that the proterse OF
!. higher prices is made only to the farmers.
;, the silveyites being too shrcwd to try to

HoLsoRN,s HISTORY
A London Thoroughfare That Hal
Through Many Changes.

Through Many Changes.
1t is High Holborn, beyond the Grs
Inn gate, a thoroughfare of handson
width that many people may remember as.
almost chOked by row Of houses, tumble
down but picturesque, with nice shady
/ passage of old book stalls and odd and
end shops for the happy lounger, Mid
\ die row was pulled down In 1868, an i'm
portant event in Holborn's life history
only surpassed by the opening of the Hol-
born viaduct in great state by the queen
in the following year. A few more dates
on the backward track of time may give
us just idea Of the ancient fame of Hol-
born In 1871 indeed there had been a
great reparation Of the road, which before
had often been but a quagmire. Then it
was widened in 1874, repaired in 1881
few stones may have been put down be-
tween whiles-and, as old Stow saith, it
was first paved In 1417, when people were
lavish with the gold they had acquired in
the French wars. But there are more an
cient billae pro reparatione Vicorum de
Alegate ct Hclborne in 1888 and 1853
A little farther on we came to Kingsgate
street. not lle as the residence Of the
world famous Sairey Camp. There is still
a barber's shop in the street with striped
pole, the whilom ensign perhaps of Paul
Sweedlcpipes, and the general features Of
the place have not changed much since Mr.
Pecksnih' visit-how many years agof
As an antiquity the street is also noticea-
bic, as here was actually the kings gate,
by which he entered his private road, as to
which we may quote deposition of 1884.
Andrew Lawrence, surveyor of his maies-
ty's highway says that his ma aiesty and
his predecessors time out Of mind have
had private way on the back side of Hol-
bourne and Gray's Inn, and SO through
Finsbury fields to Kingsland," and as the
stuart kings used to drive that way to
Hheobalds road, which a bit Of the way
has still retained as a London street.
Doubtless it was the old Roman highway
deserted ny the general line Of traffic,
whic was thus utilized by their maiestics.
For good many centuries now Holborn
has lost its aristocratic SAVIOR. In 1857
Howell, the ohronioler Of the restoration,
passing up Holborn, sees Southampton
House in course of destruction and re-
marks how Jupiter breaks great vessels
and makes small one of the pieces, " but
The site still retains the name of South
ampton buildings and has gateway into
Staple inn. The house was built by
Lord Southampton, Henry
Wis lord chancellor great torturer Of
ieretics. Tho Southampton row and street
n High Holborn commemorate a more
ecent lordship, and when, in Mr.. John
on's time, Evelina came to lodge over
lOsier's shop in Holborn she was a little
lit ashamed to give her fine friends the
ddress of such an questionable quarter.

ReIigion Is No nnrden.

remember friend of mine who had
gone far into what is called "a life Of
pleasure" telling me when he became a
Christian that what surprised him most
of all was this: He had always looked
on religion as a burden which he knew
he ought to carry, but he found that it
was somthing that carried him and his
burden too. He said also that he had
enjoyed in a single week after he was a
Christian more real pleasure than in all
the years he devoted to what is termed
the pursuit Of pleasure. I am convinced
this is the view of religion needed in a
great city where the individual is lost

The Tarshish of my text by many com
