TREASURY RECEIPTS.
An Extra Session Of Congress Nay Be Nee.
essaFy to Adjust Matters.

An Extra Session of Congress Nay Be Nee
essaFy to Adjust Matters,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2L-The feeling at
the treasury during the closing weeks
of the political campaign is one of con-
fidence, The gold reserve still stands
S22, 900, 600 above the conventional limit
named in the law of 1882, and there
are no indications of any serious raid
for the purpose of boarding.
The treasury is still running behind
at an appalling rate in its current re-
ceipts, and it is believed by many that
this will require an extra session of
congress, in spite of the restoration of
the gold reserve. Supporters of the
administration declare the existing sit
uation confirms the argument they
made several weeks ago that the deficit
is not responsible for the export Of
gold, and that redundant revenue
would affect the gold supply only in
directly. The past mouth or more has
shown a deficit growing at a more
rapid rate than in 1895, while the gold
reserve has climbed steadily upward,
until arrested at its present point by
the disposition of the banks to retain
their gold until after the election.

A simple PrOp0sitiOn.

It requires only a little exercise Of
judgment to understand that the value
of bullion silver is less than that Of
coined silver because the bullion is in a
state Of demonstration. The law says
that s7lit grains OF silver is worth 100
cents If the government stamp is placed
on il If the law were 10 say that the
must put its stamp on
every sz1A grains Of silver brought to
the mint, that amount Of silver weuid
be worth IeO cents every time and every
where, because the law would then be
doing Cor silver bullion what Il is nos
doing for silver eoiD-essabllshing an
unlimited demand for il, end thereby
creating for it the value that It now
creates for coin.-Binghsmton O.. y

Now, then: Whatever increase IN net
income the farmer may receive as a re-
suit of free coinage will be an abso-
iutely clear addition to his purchasing
ability. If, then, he has, under free
coinage, a surplus income of, say $500,
whereas, formerly he barely came out
even, it is clear that whatever guam
tity of merchandise that sum will pur-
chase, it is a quantity that he could not
have purchased at all under a con-
tinuation Of the present gold standard
system. So no matter if the prices Of
what he has to buy are increased in
the same proportionate ratio the price
of his farm products are increased,
this added net or surplus income is
clear gain, and not only represents a
quantity of goods he cannot now buy,
but also stands for the same quantity
Of wares the manufacturer cannot now
sell.
If you are inclined to follow this
thread of argument further, take the
wheat and cotton crops o. the United
States for the year 1895, and then con-
slider what an enormous tonnage Of
manufactured articles, at present pre-
vailing prices, is represented by 90 per
cent. of the combined value of these
two crops for 1895. And yet that is
just what the farmers could buy, in
excess of what they are now able to
buy, if prices were raised go per cent as
the result of the free coinage of silver
Aud all the gold-bugs cOncede that such
rise in price would take place, but they
fail to realize that it would be an absO-
Lutte addition to the farmers purchas-
ing ability,
In this connection it may be we'll to
submit the following table complied
under the direction of the committee
on finance of the United States senate
in 1898, and printed at the government
printing Office at Washington, showing

WASHINGTON, Oct Git can be
stated on good authority that there
has been no change in the declared
policy of the government with respect
to Cuba, nor is any contemplated. As
is we'll known, the sympathies of the
administration. as individuals, in a
large measure, are with the insurgents,
but if they gain their independence it
will be without any Intervention other
than amicable on the part of Mr.
Cleveland. From the inception of the
present difficulties in Cuba the admin
istrati ton has used all reasonable dill
gence to prevent the fitting out in this
country of hostile expeditions against
the Spanish authority in Cuba, and
this vigilance will be continued.

Law MAKES PRICES.
The Teaching OF History in Regard to the
Market Value Of Silver.

The Teaching OF History in Regard to the
Market Value Of Silver.
When you talk of 53-cent dollars In
case Of free coinage Of silver are you
making a fair statement Of the case2
Is it not true that when in 1893 India
closed her minis to the coinage Of sill
yer the market value Of that metal fell
the world over2 Is it not true that
when in the 70's the senate Of the United
States passed a free coinage bill, the
market value of silver went up in Lon
don from about SO to s1.11 On ounce?
Is it not true that the two metals were
kept practically at a parity for ever
so years in this country? If that is the
experience of the past, why will it not
be in the future2 Do you say it is be-
cause there is so much silver now?
if you admit that a certain amount
could be left at parity, then say this:
Those silver miners will see that it is
kept at a parity. If by limited pro
duction they can realize Sl.27 an ounce
for all the silver they have IN the ground
will they increase the production so
/. as TO receive only about half that price a?
If the law provided that houses could
be made of only pine or hemlock and
those woods were chiefly valuable for
that purpose and equally useful, the
price Of each would always be about the
same. But change the laws so as TO
exclude pine and the price Of hemiOeii
would surely advance and that Of pine
would fall. Change the law again 60
as to restore to pine its former place
and the price Of hemlOek would drop
while that Of pine would advance, and
both would reach q common value

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the story of David
from its beginning. Saul had shown
rebellion against the Ideal of Israeli Samuel
secretly anointed David, the seventh son of
Jesse, to be Saul's successor. David, while a
youth, was summoned from sheep-tending to
the court of Saul, because he had skill with the
harp to allay the periodic frenzy of the king.
From Sauls court (as the earliest story runs)
David went forth to the valley of Eah, to meet
Goliath, the champion of the Philistnes. His
victory over Goliath gave him popularity of
which Saul became jealous. Nevertheless Saul,
according TO his promise. gave to David his
daughter Michal as his wife. Jonathan, the
prince and helr-apparent became Davids
friend, in a heroism OF friendship renowned
through the ages. In our last Old Testament
lesson Il. Sam. 90 32-42) we learned of the
parting of these two friends, when David could
no longer remain In Saul's court David went
to the wilds. to continue seven years a hunted
outlaw. But David did not during this period
forget his mission The high priest and the
only existing prophet were his companions;
