vast resources rapidly and completely
put in the way of exploitation. The
abandonment Of notes or paper money
issued by the state, the definite adop-
tion of gold as the sole standard-these
are the two necessary conditions on
which the United States can secure a
financial position as important as that
they now hold in agriculture and in in
dustry. On these two conditions they
can some day approach and equal Great
Britain as a financial power. If, on the
contrary, they persist in their system of
government paper money and in the
rehabilitation Of silver, their indus
trial and commercial development alike
will be trammeled, and they will un-
dergo marked and permanent experiences
Of financial weakness.

entities in the way Of the restoration OF
silver are infinitely greater than they

In conclusion he says:
''As soon as the capitalists, small and

wANDERISGS OF A DERELICT.
Strange Drifting of an Abandoned
Vessel Over the Oceans Waves.
Boston Journal

1t is strange experience of ainIess drift
ing that ended last month when the Boston
schooner Alma Cummings. which had teen
abandoned at sea year aud a half before
grounded a barnacled and sotiden hulk-on
one OF the islands off the San Bias coast Of
Central America
The vessel was bound to this port with a
cargo OF southern pine, W hen she fell in with
fierce gale OFF the Della ware capes spraue
leak aud became wateriogged and unn.a H.
aSeable. Capt. Cummings and his crew
decided TO leave her to her fate, and they
did so, taking refuge on a ship which for
tunately hove In sight when the severity of
the storm had abated.
That was on February IL, 1895. The
Alma Cummings was a stanch nearly new
schooner, classed Al for fifteen years.
Though the tempest had reduced her to a
wreck, her oak frame hung together. her
cargo kept her from sinking, and she began
course of unguided, solitary wandering
Which has scarcely parallel in the records
Of marine adventure.
Early in March she was sighted SEQ miles
to tue eastward of the place where she was
abandoned. having drirted clear across
the gulf stream. Then, under the mys-
terious Influence of winds and currents,
She turned northeastward, and at the end
of March was seen near the steamship track
off the banks of Newfoundland. A month

there was any further ne VS. OF he derelict,
and ali this time her erratic course was 4
mere matter OF conjecture. On March 9,
l 1896, Captain Wtitby, OF the British steamer
Ormiston saw the Alma Cummings off the
Windward lsla nts, 1, 100 miles from where
she had last been reported. Nothing more
was heard OF her until the Spanish steamer
Soledade, arriving at Colon on September
l 2, brought word thatin the previous month
the missing schooner had stranded on one
OF the San Bias islands ana that the In
dians We're stripping the wreck.
Altogether, traced on the chart, the Alma
Cummings wanderings measured 3 400
miles. As matter Of fact they were much
more than that. for the helpless hulk fol-
lowed the widest of Zig-zag courses while
she was the sport or the elements Her
drift northward brought her To the verge of
the grinding icebergs and she floated south
waru to lay on tropic shore the stout
ribs which New England shipwrlghts had
fashioned.
No log was kept of her long voyage no
hand recorded story which IL it could be
told would doubtless prove to be one o.
unique and entrancng interest.
