crept in with exasperating slowness.
At last the two rowers sullenly leaped
ashore.

AT any other time the coincidence

only answered CURLY: UNLESS we are

But here two men emerged from the
shanty beside the ferry house and tum-
bled sleepily into the boat.
Clarence seized an extra pair Of SOULS

and threw them into the stern. IT don't

The man shrugged his shoulders, bent

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A Change Came Ger the Spirit of Its
Dreams and Behold a MetamorphOsis.
In 1892 the National League of Re.
publican clubs issued a campaign book
for the use of republican speakers. 1t
was abeled: The Principles and Poll
cies of the Republican Party On
pages SO and 81 the following argument
is made against the gold standards:
There is grave danger in the unqualified
adoption OF the gold standard For as silver
has been taken out OF Europes coinage, the
demand for gold has enormously grown, and
grown in proportion much greater than the
supply. Measuring both metals by the stand
ard Of commodities, it is substantially true
to say that gold has appreciated much more
than silver has deprecated In the silver-using
countries silver will buy almost as much OF
everything except gold as it would ten or
dozen years ago. and this fact sustans the
demand for cheaper money. The advocates OF
the gold standard allege that the value of gold
is intrinsic, and that a certain quantity Of gold
bullion having a fixed value should be the
standard OF exchange This would be all well
enough II anyone were able to insure that the
supply Of gold would continually increase in
ratio with the increasing demand for it caused
by growing population and commerce. But,
as a matter Of fact. it is decreasing in that
ratio: and therefore man who ten years ago
contracted debt which might then have been
discharged with a thousand bushels of wheat,
must to-day pay many more than thousand
bushels to get himself free.
The meaning is clear The capitalist can
increase his wealth by simply converting it
into gold. putting it in a vaul. and holding il
idle for series Of years At the end of ten
years it will buy more provisions and more la.
Dor than it would when he stored it As the
supply Of gold contracts everybody must work
harder to get it 1t is plain that debtor is
entitled to discharge his obligations for 9
value precisely similar to that he originally
obtained. He cannot do this IL the money In
which his loan is compulsively payable in
creases between the date OF its making and
the date Of its payment. Measured in gold all
obligations have thus increased in a very short
period Of time The creditor class enjoys
therefore. q vast advantage over the debtor
class Men who work for a living and who
consume their earnings year by year are placed
in most unfair position

IF to the amount of this insurance,
says the commissioner, there is added
the amount of all other insurance we
find that the total insurance of all
kinds carried by the people of this state
amounts to the vast sum of $751;, $3.50

together with her son-inlaw, a MAJ
named Palmer, charged with hayinl
stranglcd a number of infants who's,
bodies were recovered from the
Thames. weighted down with bricks.
From letters found in the possession Of
the woman it appeared that the parents
of the infants consigned to Mrs. Overs
care were aware of the fate intenued
for them. The cCroDers had been
puzzled for some time by the extraor-
dinarily large number of infants
bodies found in the Thames between
Mapping and Battersea. 1t was i'm
possible however, to trace the murder
of all these to Mrs Dyer and Palmer,
but it has been suppressed that they were
responsible for a large number of the
deaths of the children thus found.
