Facing Both ways.

When the Populist press is clamoring
for free silver, it claims that low priced
products are an injury to everybody but
the owners Of gold, and that the 16 to
swindle would help the people by dou-
bling the price Of everything they buy.
But when the same papers come to de-
nounce trusts and monopolies, they do
so on the ground that those combina-
tions OF capital restrict trade and put
up prices Thus the Coal trust has been
generally condemned BY the Populists

INTERNATIONAL VALUES.
No One Nation Can Maintain the Relative
&.i< Values Of Two Metals.

No One Nation Can Maintain the Relative
l< Values Of Two Metals.
Question. Can the United States
alone maintain bimetal lism?
Answer. No +:
Question. Why not?
Answer Because no one nation in
the world can fix and maintain interna-
tional values, and certainly none can fix
and indefinitely maintain the relative
values of any two metals. If we put ar
bitrary relative values on gold. and sill
yer, the one we valued below the price
fixed by supply and demand in the
worlds markets would seek other conn
tries, where it's values and purchasing
power would be greater, while the one
we valued above the market price would
remain with us and become the standard
Of value by which we conduct our bust
ness.
Question. Are you in favor Of the
independent free coinage Of silver by
the United States?
Answer. No; for the reason that
that would infallibly mean silver mon
ometallism.
Question Why so? f. III
n Answer. -Because gold il worth SO
times as much as silver in the markets
of the world today. In other words, an
ounce Of gold is worth AZ much as 80
ounces Of silver. and the United States

apostolic times, and that copies Of u were
taken and are still .extant. That this
statement has no found ation IN fact would
appear to be evident from the circumstance
that the old masters. in their representa-
lions Of the Saviour, follow no recognized
model and are as various in such portr,si-
lures as were their conceptions of what the
real Christ should be. u. n 5s5s II.
This diversity must be apparent to all
who have examined such paintings In the
Louvre and other large collections. Iii
Fra f. Lippi's Madonna and Child, = for
instance, an exquisite creation, the face OF
the infant Saviour, though perfect in con-
tour, has look Of preoocious intelligence
which seems unnatural In one SO young.
Carlo Dolce, Murillo and others, though
displaying different types Of child life, arc
perhaps equally successful In cOnveyinga
nearly satisfying ideal in their representa-
tions of the child Christ. They all, how
ever, pay no regard to ethnic considera-
lions in their work, and as result the
face Is Italian, French, Spanish or Flenl-
ish, as the case may be, rather than jew
ish, as 1t should have been.
In paintings Of the man Christ there Is
still greater diversity noticeable, Is
would be naturally expected. The face Of
Christ in F. r. Francia's painting, The
Virgin and Two Angels Weeping Over the
Dead Body Of Christ, y is probably the di-
vinest conception Of itsever traced on cam
vas Though the face is evidently that Of
the dead, all the emotions of the soul seem
to be mirrored upon it. In Borgognone's
"Christ Bearing tho Cross" CorreggiO's

Working Farmers versus Land Spectators.
The promise that the selling price Of
land would be doubled by the adoption
Of free coinage is one of the main argu-
ments on which the silverites rely to
capture the votes of the farmers. With
out stopping to consider whether higher
prices would help them, some farmers
have allowed themselves to be drawn
into the free silver movement through
their desire to see boom" in farm
lands. But little study will show them
that the imitation of farm values by
cheapening the currency would not be
Of the slightest benefit to the working
farmer.
Suppose that the silver standard was
adopted and the price of farm lands
doubled. This would enable a farmer
who wished to sell his property to get
more money for it, but not more value.
IF he wished to buy another farm or to
engage in any kind Of business, he would
find that the price Of his farm would
buy no more than it does now. The
great majority Of the American farmers
expect to retain their land and get a
living by working on it. The fact that
a farm was nominally worth more wonld
not make it grow more grain, cotton or
vegetables It's increased price would
lead to higher tax assessments, but as
means of getting livelihood its value
would be just the same as it is today.
The only men who would be benefit
ed by inflated land values due to cheap
money would be the small class Of spec
ulators who do not farm, but hold land
out Of use for rise. The interests of
this class are directly opposed to those
Of the real working farmers, who should
not allow themselves to be deluded into
voting for scheme which will make
farms harder to get by the men who are
seeking homes.

Salisbury fatty denies that the
Monroe doctrine, as interpreted
by Secretary Olney, has right to
place in ternational law. The
United States insists that European
nations must observe the doctrine
at the expense of friendly relations
with this country. England may
have concluded that the time has
come to extend her territorial pos.
sessions in South America, and is
prepared to proceed regardless of
the interests or claims of the
United States. If investigation by
the United States shows that the
English claim is right regarding
the Venezuela boundary, this coun-
try will certainly make no objec-
tion to her receiving her rights;
but if the facts will sustain Vene.
zuela's claim, and England still
refuses to arbitrate, public senti.
