of such things when I was young. We spent all our spare time in them days going about doing good. We would incourage the downcast by few timely words, and it dident seem to take many either, because the spirit was always willing if the flesh was weak. A little prompting and charity and recognition on our part done the work all right. Makes me think of the verse I learned once when I went to school:
 little word in kindness spoken,
 motion or tear, has often
 Healed the heart that's broken,
 And made a friend cincere.
 Then again we would give cups of cold water to the fainting disciples, scattered tracts among the poor and lowly and what we called the worlds people, they all appreciated our good works and we got our reward.

I must say my heart leaped for joy, and I begun to clap my hands and shout, when To to my astonishment I awoke, it was all dream.
 Then the cold sweat came over me as I lay on my humble couch, in the still watches of the night, thinking of the duty we owe to the Master for his kind and tender watchcare over us, how he has prospered us in all things and has spared us to this time and yet we are living at ease and allowing sin and eniquity to abound in our midst, and I thought of what Christ said when ho wept oyer Jerusalem, How oft would

where Are the Benefits?

If so cent silver dollars should dou-
BILE the prices OF farm products, it is
quite as certain that the prices of all
the products which the farmer con-
sumes would double in the same way.
III that case it is not easy to sec how
the farmer would gain anything by the
free coinage Of silver. Even the wages
of labor, the last to rise in an epoch of
deprecated currency and inflated
prices, would finally, after much dis
tress of the workingmen, straggle up
to the common level.
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 500 for 100 bushels Of wheat
and pay out 500 for the necessaries Of
living or should receive $500 for the
same wheat and pay out $3.50, in both
cases the balance on hand would have
just the same purchasing power. But
in accomplishing the degradation of
the monetary standard, which could
do neither the farmer nor the wage
Garner any good, an enormous depre-
citation of values and confiscation of &C.
cumulatcd earnings, involving public
and private credit in a maelstrom of
destruction, would inevitably ensue.
Are the farmers and workingmen of the
country willing to invoke such a
strophe?-Philadelphia Record.

he said that it seemed almost to defy
human intellect, but Ben Tillman, from
South Carolina, knows that the gold
bugs Of Wall street and vampires OF

and the way the farmer can get even

We are living in a grand and awful
time. But the newspapers are printed
every day, and the Americans are not
asleep. The brain OF the American
people Is not dull. Their hearts are
not dishonest. These heresies come
and go as the tide flows, and sometimes
in the thickest of the night we may
not appear to see the stars that are
shining. But you remember on one
historic occasion, when the sky was all
covered with fog, some one asked, "Oh,
say, can you see by the dawn's early
light the star spangled banner yet
waving?" And it was there. EN-

The Issue I'm Pure Silver.

direct issue upon it, and consider the
real issue. silver.
A lump Of silver of q certain size,
371A grains in weight, is to-day worth

that the government shall stamp it g

ing of the same sort as the govern

Tho pcnaiOnera Dollar.

The government pays about SAC, 000,-
900 year to pensioners. The payments
last year were S141, 1896, 229. Every one
of these dollars was worth 100 cents
and equal to a dollar in gold.
If the policy Of the Chicago platform
and party should be made effective by
legislation, every dollar thereafter re-
ceived by pensioner would be worth
only SO cents. 1t would be called dol
lar, but in the purchase of pensioners
supplies it would go only so far as SO
cents go now. The buying power Of the
pensioners monthly allowance, like
that of the depositor's money, still to
be paid out of the savings bank, and
the value Of policies to be paid by life
insurance companies, would be reduced
bv nearly one-half.-New York Times.

Denrness Not the Goal.

The silver men give away their case
when they say that free coinage will
increase prices" The one universal
human interest is cheapness. The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de-
sirable things we're produced without
any cost at all. Every advance toward
that condition-that is to say, every
cheapening of the necessities of life
is great gain for everybody. On the
other hand, every increase in the price
of the necessities of life is direct
and grievous hurt to the people.

Wage Farmers Not Fooled.

An interesting straw comes from In
dianapolis. A few days ago the en-
ployes OF large manufacturing estab-
lishment in that city were asked
whether or not they favored the gold
standard. OF nearly 1900 workingmen
who were interviewed $50 were out
spoken for the maintenance of the
present money standard. Only SCI de-
clarod against it, and 15S said they
were undecided.

Real Elnletallisfn.

Do not be deceived by the fraudulent
pretenee that the fight for free silver
means contest between bimetallism
and gold monometallism. We now
have almost equal amounts of gold
and silver coin, nearly all the silver be-
ing full legal tender money. This is
true bimetallism. Free coinage at 1G
to l would at once put the country on
a silver basis and force our gold out Of
circulation. The silyerites are the
