PRECIOUS METALS IN THE ARTS.


An interesting feature of the forth
coming report of the director of the
| United States mint relates to the extent
to which gold and silver are used in the
arts. This is Il matter. that has long
commanded the attention of statisti-
clans, it's Importance being Obvious, but
the results of Investigations have not
been satisfactory, the estimates ranging
from a quarter to Il third of the prOduc-
ton. Director Preston's researches lead
to the conclusion that neither is correct,
but that the true figure is somewhere
between the two, so that while there Is
no doubt that the use of gold and silver
in the arts Is steadily increasing it has
not yet attained the proportion of the
highest estimates. 1t appears that there
are no official statistics on the subject
for England, Germany and many other
countries, official data for 1891 being
obtainable only for the United States,
France, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzer-
land and Austria. There are official
year 1893.
England uses the largest amount of
gold in the arts, followed, in the order
named, by Germany, France and the
United States. and together these coun-
tries consume about $40, 600 900 worth.
The United States leads the world in the
industrial use of silver, followed, in the
order named, by France, Germany, Eng
land and Switzerland, the consumption
of all these countries being about $25,-
100000 worth. The money value of the
gold used in the arts by all civilized
countries is somewhat in excess of 500
100000, and of silver, at the coinage
ratio of this country, in the "neighbor-
hood of $30.OO0,000. There has been n
decided increase in the Industrial use of
silver during the past year or two and
it is reasonably to be expected that
while the white metal continues to be
excluded from the minis of the leading
commercial nations its use In the arts
will steadily grow. This does not af-
ford so large a profit for the mining of
1t as would be obtained If free coinage
were accorded to silver, but il still in
sures "A profitable market for that metal.
There is also an increasing use of gold

indianapolis News.

iiiiitiliIOliS ANtNSs
There is no need of any explanation of
the John G. New interview by Indiana re-
publicans at Washington, such as l.. T.
Kitchener is quoted as having made. Mr..
News statement was a clean-cut, hard
headed expression. 1t stated what people
believe to be the truth. There is nothing
n 1t to modify or withdraw. There has
been no break in the consistent attitude and
position maintained by General Harrison
that no was not a candidate, but that IL he
were nominated he would serve. General
Michener's attempted explanation and Mr..
News later statement by way of definition
hetract nothing from the force of the original
outgiving. Neither the party nor the country
IS going to misconceive General Harrison's
position. 1t is a position neither made nor
unmade by carefully prepared explanations of
the Kitchener order. For ourselves we be-
lieve there is nothing more likely than that
General Harrison will be the republican
nominee In 1896. The unexpected may hap
pen. to be sure. But no dispassionate sur
vey Of the field today can discover any figure
or any number of figures united, that COM
pares with General Harrison's in weight and
position, and in the worth of this weight and
position to the republican party.

John sherman on Annexation.

Senator John Sherman preserves a cool
head ON the subject of the annexation OF
Cuba. in case 1t can establish it's independ-
ence Of Spain. He says: Il have been, and
am now, opposed to the annexation Of outly-
ing territory like that of Cuba, especially
when 1t is well settled by a nation speaking
a different language and with different insti-
tutions from ours. I think congress would
readily recognize the Independence of Cuba If
the insurgents would establish a de facto re-
publican government over the island,
Further than that | do not believe the gen.
eral sentiment OF the people Of the United
states would be in favor of going" This is
tolerably clear and explicit, and 1t would
seem to apply to other outlying territory be-
sides Cuba,

UNSUCCESSFUL Arbitration.

The state of New York has a board of
arbitration, appointed under a law
passed several years ago. 1t is empow-
cred to decide labor controversies when
submitted to 1t and to intervene for the
settlement of such disputes. 1t has, Of
course, no authority TO compel obedience
to it's decisions. The board has recently
issued its annual report and the results
of its labors as there shown are not en-
couraging for those who advocate this
method of arbitration. 1t appears that
during the year covered by the report
there were 425 strikes and lockOuts in
the state of New York and only in eight
cases was arbitration successful. 1t
must be admitted that this is an exceed
ingly discouraging showing. justifying
the comment made upon it by the New
York Press that plainly there is no rea-
son for the continuance of the board;
that either there never was any neces-
sity for 1t or else there has been some
radical defect In It's construction, and il
says both conjectures are sound.
The Press urges that there is no need
anywhere. though thirteen states have
created them, for the kind of boards

A learned opinion of the attorney
generafof thso UhiteP States says that
no law can be invoked to stop the
people from expressing sympathy for
the Cuban insurgents, but that they are
forbidden by international comfy from
giving them any material aid. Not
strangely the chief need of the CubanS
is material assistance with men, NUM-
tons and money. The moral support
of high-sounding resolutions does not
avail much against the Spanish sol

Railroad rate cutting is very much
like cut-throat competition in other lines

no road will restore rates until there

more injurious the rate-cutting to the

of this country their supplies at
the lowest possible figure consis-
tent with the preservation of Amer
lean wages, so rated as to lay it's
greatest burdens on the luxuries
that are imported for the rich, so
adjusted to the expenditures of the
government as to insure the ade-
quate revenue for maintaining 1t.

HONEST SHAKERS AND THEIR

The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying

more dangerous and villainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently &C
company medicines. To guarantee a
medicine to cure is TO brand 1t as a auack
product. III we can guarantee to cure dis
ease, then we can guarantee everlasting
life, for In a large majority of cases people
die OF disease, the proportion of violent or
accidental deaths being very small.
The Shakers have always been known
as most upright and honorable people,
and their success in the manufacture of
medicines has also been well known. 1t
is therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing very original and novel plan
for the introduction Of their remedy for
dyspepsia.
These God fearing people, whose motto
has always been Try all things and hold
fast to that which is good" have put
upon the market ten cent sample bottles
OF their product, or sufficient to give 1t a

The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so
prompt In its action that for the trivial
sum OF ten cents person can usually de-
termine as to whether or not 1t meets the
requirements of his case. There are forms
OF dyspepsia which 1t won't help, but
these are very rare. In most cases the
first dose relieves all distress, and an in
crease of appetite at once follows.

product. IL represents nearly hundred
