Gold.

mo enduring fabric of national
prosperity can be builded ON gold.
Gold is the money of monarchs
Kings covot it; the exchanges of ma
tons are effected by it; its tendency
Is to accumulate vast mas ses in com
merclal centers and to move from
kingdom to kindom in such volumes
as to unsetle values and stir up the
finances of the world. 1t is the in
strument of gamblers and specula-
tors and the idol of the miser and
thief. The object of so much adora.
ton, 1t becomes naughty and sensi-
tive and shrlnks at the approach of
danger, and when it is most needed
1T always disappears at the slightest
alarm; it begins to look for refuse: it
flies through the nations at war to
the nations at peace. War makes il
a fugitive. No people in a great
emergency ever found faithful ally
IN gold. 1t is the most cowardly
and treacherous of all metals. II
makes no treaty that it does not
break. IL has no friends whom il
does not sooner or later betray. Ar.
mics and navies are not maintained
by gold. In time of panic and ca
lamity and shipwreck and disaster
1t becomes the chief agent and minis
ter of ruin. No nation ever fought
a great war by the aid of gold On
the contrary in the crisis of great
peril 1t becomes an enemy more 20,
tent than the foe in the gold. But
when the battle is won and peace
has been secured gold reappears and
claims the fruits of victory. j.

1894 AND 1896

The Republican newspapers are
telling us now of the promises
made by the Democrats four wears
ago, but they fail to remem Der
their own utterances of two years
ago. They are in the same, con.
dltiou that you generally find an
ola man or woman who have ont
lived their usefulness and spend
their time in snug corner of the
chimney dreaming OF the DAYS OF
their youth, while the happenings
OF to day are forgotten almost as
soon as they come to pass. For
instance, our neighbour, the Taze.
well Republican, remembers well
the promises made by the Demo.
Gratis four years ago, but seems to
forget their own two years back.
On the 9th day of November, 1894,
