Mr.. Jernigan makes the following observa-

Occident were competing on relatively equal
terms and receiving equal terms. Now in
1894 each mill employs the same amount
of labor it did in 1872 but the owner
of the mill in the United States pays for
the labor in gold at the old rates, while
the owner of the mill in japan pays for
labor in silver at the old rates also Not

time, appealed to the head of the church
TO remove his introduction of the participa-
ton by Catholics in political elections in

these petitions, and this publication is an
effective denial of these reports. The Pope
says that while the participation of Catho-
lies in the administrative elections in
Italy is both praiseworthy and. what is
more, ever to be commended it is to be
avoided i'm the case of political elections
for weighty reasons. For the conditions i'm
posed in Italy upon the sovereign pontiff
