IRELAND'S
a- Ea..r
LETTER.

seeks to divest himself as much as possible
from his priestly office in this instance
the letter would have commanded attention
because of its massive logic, cogent reas-
| oning, the cameo-like clearncss of its state
ments, the chaste yet eloquent diction and
the burning patriotism that permeates ev-
cry line of the composition. Loyalty to
the Unionhas been always m arked feature
in Archbishop Ireland's character and it
is this that makes him speak out without
fear or favor that 1.-THE days of the civil
war excepted, at no time did so great
peril threaten the country as that which
isinvolvedin the political campaign today"
He guards against improper influence that
might be ascribed to his utterances by de-
claring that he is dealing not with men,
but with principles and movements"
m AS might be xpected, the earchbisnopdeals
with the moral as well as the material as
pect OF the prominent political issue now
before the people. He points out the dishon-
esty OF a policy W hich would force people to
accept 53 cents worth of silver as full
legal tender dollar. nor does he fail to call
attention to the disastrous consequences
that would result from such a policy to all
classes of people, but more than all else to
the wagc-earners. Although not belonging
to the business community, he perceives
more clearly than many of its members
1t is nonsense to say that capital must
put itself into the American market, wheth-
er the capital be American or European
We should not be deluded by words. We
may clamor in vain for capital 1t will
not come TO US unless there be security
for it. 1t VIII remain in the vaults of
safety, or go to the other parts of the W world
where reward is small, but certain. And
without capital there would be no enter
prses, and no work for the people.
All the vaporings of all the silyerite
speakers, from William Jennings Bryan
down-or up, as the case may be-cannot
contradict or oontrovert the sound COM
mon sense SO plainly and tersely conveyed
in the foregoing paragraph. The words OF
Archbishop Ireland should carry the more
weight, as personally be cannot benefit
or suffer, save as component part of the
great mass o; the people, by the results OF
the election. Whether Mckinley be Presi-
dent or Bryan, will still be the arch
bishop. His words, therefore, are those
OF the patriot and moralist, spoken at a
time when, as he himself says, Ito be
silent would be cowardice, would
be crime" and hence bis plea for the
integrity OF tbe nation, for the prosperity
of the people. for the honor of America,
and the Dermanency Of. free institutions"

II a farmer finds a man setting fire to
his barn, he feels like filing him with
buckshot. If thief runs away with a
horse the owner has him caught and pull

his house he is a coward if he don't try to
arrest him. II an employer learns that his
employees are attempting to destroy his busi-
ness he is fool if he don't discharge them
That is precisely the situation Of the st.
Louis merchants. Through the support of
Bryan their employees were not only lessen
ing the value of the property OF their EN-
ployers. but were also assisting in bringing
on panic that might bankrupt them.
This is no ordinary campaign. It has no
parallel in history. The Bryan party is
arraying employees against employers, aud
il the st. Louis merchants sought to pro-
tect their property by discharging Bryanite
clerks. they were only doing what the far
mer does when he shoots at a barn burner.

I is the common impression that the dia-

cessful imitation, yet Fra ncois Caprin OF
Havre, France, ut present guest OF the 81

man of his, has discovered a method OF
transforming carbon into the queen OF gems
There are. however, two reasons which VIII
prevent the artificial stones from entering
into competition with the mined article.
In the first place. they are SO exceedingly
minute that they have no comm ercial value.
it costs more to nianufature diamonds than
toimportthem from the mines. Theesscnce
of the discovery is the idea OF obtaining
the requisite pressure by utilizing the quality
possessed by some bodies OF increasing in
volume as they change from a liquid to
solid state. The chemist placed a quantity
of silver and charcoal OF sugar in an electric
furnace and fused the metal to the boiling
point. By this method the silver was made
to absorb small quantity of carbon. The
whole mixture was then thrown into cold
water. forming shell OF solid silver.
After u few moments this was withdrawn
from the water aud allowed 90 cool slowly.
As 1t did so the kernel of silver contained
in the outer shell expanded. precipitstiDgt the
form OF microscopic diamonds. There can
be no doubt as to the validity of this dis
covery, as the French Academy of Sciences
hasexamined the diamonds produced by this
process. and has pronounced them the same
