countries have had . cinch upon us, both
as 10 finance and manufacturing. But
this process Of education must be q very
slow one, and meanwhile our country
must suffer more than any. From an in.
ternational point OF view. the countries
with which we should treat are the debtor
and producing countries. where there is
deficiency Of money and q great absorb.
ing capacity for new money. II we want
to increase the use Of silver we should go
to the countries which have q defici-
ency, not q plethora Of money, just as
we would do il we wished to increase
the market for wheat. we would arrange
to send our wheat to the countries that
had q deficiency rather than q surplus.
The great trouble with the debtor coun-
tries is that their monetary legislation is
controlled by the creditor countries, and
10 order to bring about monetary reform
it is necessary for this country to take
courageous and independent action, such
as Bismarck suggested. There is not
gold enough in the world to do its bust
ness. By our financial legislation We are
ihcreasing-the value Of gold and dimin-
ishing the value of our property and
products. The parity we should seek to
restore is between gold and property.
We can only do this by destroying the
gold monopoly, and this can alone be
done by restoring the competitive use Of
silver. What we need is courage; we
have the power"

A USEFUL ALTERNATIVE.

There does not seem to be any imme-
date war in prospect, Notwithstanding
the naval and military hustle in Wash
ineton and at some Of the navy yards.
But. as one OF the telegrsphers sagely
remarks, the administration deems II
vice to be ready for war. With . navy
unprovided with ammunition for more
than one day Of battle, and 5000 mer
short. . little hustle would seem to be
desirable, and readiness for war is be-
coming more and more necessary in this
country. There may come a time when
the crisis between the classes and the
masses shall become so sharp that the 81
Tentative will be eternal strife or q for
eign war. In that case q foreign wal
would of course be chosen. That would
unite the whole people till the war was
over, and then there would be . big
army and navy in control of the classes
to attend to any possible disturbance
arising out Of home politics.
The people who talk about an impend'
ing revolution in the United States dc
not think of how easily . popular foreign
war could be brought on, to the utter
collapse Of ell revolutionary schemes and
even dissipation of revolutionary ideas

how he regulate the force OF each stroke
More interest however, Is evinced when he seizes
n vicious-looking whip with an abnormaly long
lash 1t is provided with a very heavy handle o.
medium length. This is his favorite toy. and Wnas ,
he can do with 1t is really wonderful. He mrs.
gives an idea OF what fearful force there lies In
whip lash In the hands OF an expert 49,.
large frame. over which Is stretched cai o.
sheep skin is brought on the stage This Is markeo
with dots Of red paint. The man with the whip
steps up, and swinging the lash round his head 20

pulls a piece right out from the leather. leaving
clean-cut hole.
These pieces distributed AMONG the audience
to show that there IL no trickery about the per
Torrance. After this he takes a frame with three
shelves. On these there a dozen more Q!
medium-sized apples lying very close together ana
audience may designate which apple he wishes
struck and the unerring lash snatches It out ike

still more difficult feat is the swapping Of coins
from narrow-necked bottle. A piece OF silvs..
about the size OF half a crown is put over the CORK
of the bottle which stands on the edge OF taoIe;;
