Sound Honey end the Cheap Kind

1t is claimed, perhaps honestly, by the
advocates OF cheap money. that it en-
hances the price of labor and of farm
products. On that point there is no better
object lesson than the experience of Cali
fornia during the war period. 1t is prac-
teal and matter-of-fact illustration, and
therefore worth thousand theories.
AT that time California, by the passage
of the specific contract law, adopted the
gold standard, while the eastern states ad-
hered to the greenback or cheap standard.
During larger portion of the war period
gold was quoted in eastern markets at 100
to $50 per cent premium. With gold at
$50 premium 500 in gold would be worth
$3.50 in greenback par money at the east,
or conversely 500 in greenbacks was
worth $40 in gold par money here.
At that time the cheapest labor in Cali
fornia was performed by the thousands of
Chinese employed in building the Central
Pacific railroad, who wero paid S26
month in gold. That at 30 premium was
equivalent to $50 in greenbacks. The
same class of labor in the east was not
paid more than $40 month in
greenbacks, though there were
million men at the front and other
millions busily engaged in supplying
them with commssary stores, arms and
munitions of war. The $40 seemed bigger
pay than the S26, but it was only equiva-

The Baritone and the Donkey

Mr.. Clifford Halle tells the following
amusing anecdote: sit was at Port Eliza
beth, South Africa, where was announced
to give a concert. The room in which L
sang was situated in part of the town
where the population seemed to consist
mostly of geese. ducks, pigs, and other
domestic animals. 1t was hot. and the
main entrance was kept open to admit the
fresh air.
II had run through couple of items,
after which | began to sing the well known
song: Bruder, Gehst Du Hier Vorueber?
brother, contest thou this way?) to the
apparent satisfaction of the audience. The
song ends with the words: 'Bruder,
Bruder, sage Ja' Brother, brother, do say
yes-yah), when just at that moment one of
the four-footed asses of Port Elizabeth
thrust his head in at the door and bel
lowed out '1-ah'' which drowned all
other noises. The audience roared with
laughter. The governors wife was con-
vulsed; her husband stepped up to me
with tears in his eyes and said:
"'Dear Halle, il you want to be taken Sc
riously by our people here in Africa you
had better leave your relations at home :"

lent to SIC in the same kind of money,
and the 500 was good for 500 of the same
kind as the $40. Figuring it either way,
the laborer in the gold section received 3S
per cent more than the laborer in the cheap
money section.
During that same period the general
range of wheat quotations was about
81. 10, gold, in San Francisco, against So. so
to $685.. greenbacks. in Chicago. But
calling it. for convenience of calculation,
81 here against S4 there, our wheat growers
got the equivalent of So in greenbacks
against the eastern 81 in that currency, or
theirs got the equivalent of $l.6O in gold
against 81, difference of 20 per cent in
favor of the gold standard whichever way
it is figured, and evidently the Illinois
farmers were badly mistaken if they sup
posed that they were getting more than the
California farmers we're getting for their
wheat.
In drygoods, clothing and similar com
modities the relation was about $2S in
gold in San Francisco to $40 in green
backs in New York and Boston. "On the
face of the returns their merchants
seemed to be getting better prices than
ours, but if they thought they were faring
better they were mistaken. They got the
equivalent of SIG in our money against
our $2S; our merchants got the equivalent
of $40 in their money against their $40,
which, allowing for transportation and

other charges, would be about the same as
in the case of labor. difference of about
3S per cent in favor of the gold standard
1t is thus made clear by the two sys-
tens. working side by side in the same
country at the same time, that the gold
was better than the cheap money stand
ard for the laboring man. the farmer
and the merchant. A stronger case
might be made in favor of material men
and the higher class of laborers, such as
our miners, who get 81 day, the equiva-
lent of $40 in greenbacks, while in the
east the same grade of labor received not
more than So or S6 day in greenbacks.
OF course this proves that the difference
was in favor of the east as to large employ
ers of labor, and the disadvantage here
worked especially hard on the railroad peo-
pie, who received greenbacks from the gov
both at par. par So % that 'O when N sutro sn'

ceiving. say, $6,5OO,000 from the govern

they seem to have done some heavy goug-
ing and to have made an enormous profit,
when, as a matter of fact, the 81 600 900
in gold paid out was the exact equivalent
of the S6,500,00 in greenbacks received

vigor amid the deadly miasma which
kills the European like shot, is no

mean task.
Besides, the Ashantee is a fighter. He
is tall, muscular, and knows how to use
the modern rifle. Prempeh, in his deal
ings with traders, saw that civilization
might be copied with advantage in a
few things. The white man who bur
dened himself with clothes ne regarded
as an imbecile. The white man wlo
contented himself with single wife he
looked at with contempt. The white
man who could not see the glory Of
human sacrifice he deemed heathen.
But the white man and his magazine
rifle he looked up to with respect.
How many pounds of gold he gave for
the fine rifle and ammunition with
which his army of 10000 men are
equipped no one knows.
But the rifles availed him nothing.
The handful of Englishmen who few
days ago penetrated to Coomassie, the
capital of Ashantee, di5mayed and
overwhelmed the royal forces by shoot
skyrockets and harmless pyrotechnics
in the night time. If billion devils
we're loosened amid Prempeh's war
riors greater CONSERVATION would not
have been caused. They we're literally
frightened to the verge of death.
The English are now in command at
Coomassie. Colonel Sir Francis Scott,
soldier of experience in African war
fare, is at the head of the English
forces, ard will exact many promises
from Prempeh. He is accompanied by

good fellow. He joined the Ashantee
expedition to win military glory, and
has been successful.
Coomassie is z queer place and the
stories which the English soldiers will
bring back will be worth reading. 1t
has 10000 inhabitants and the nuts are
irregularlx laid out in avenues. One
avenue is mile long. The 1888 wives
awarded to the king by custom, cen
turies old, live in two long streets.
Prempeh doesn't know half of his
wives even by sight.
There will be one praiseworthy re-
suit of the English conquest of Asian
tee. Human sacrifice will be stopped.
The slaughter Of Prempeh's subjects
on feast days in the grove near Coo
massie will cease and should Prempeh
die. 1000 men and women will not be
killed to accompany him to the great
unknown, as was the custom on the
deaths of all of his predecessors.

WHAT ROENTGEN MAY DO

some of its terrifying possibilities, to poll

Inside the flesh that's them investing;
Forebodings must perforce arise
Lest as your wondrous skill advances

frequently occur. Perhaps the most pc
culiar case that has come up reeently,
an account of which was related to a
reporter few days ago, is, that of a
Harvard student who was in love and
without funds. The love conquered his
pride, and he concluded, to investigate
the matter with view of getting mar
ried ON trust. He made his appearance
at the desk in the registrars Office and
inquired if that was the place where he
could procure a marriage certificate
and also get married. He was informed
that it was, and blank application was
handed to him. which he proceeded to
fill ont. ...4.-.. 80
After this proceeding was gone through
with he looked up, and, in hesitating
manner, asked the clerk if he could
have few moments private conVersa-
tion with him. He was taken into the
anteroom. and this is the tale he un-
folded: He said that he was deeply in
love with a young lady, and that she
was also very much in love with him.
But her parents had serious objections
to the match and did all that was in
their power to break it OF. They had
closed their doors ON him I; but, notWith-
standing this, he succeeded in arranging
meetings with his hearts choice; and
during one of these he proposedcmar-
riage TO her and was accepted, be argu-
ing that if they were Joined in-the,h holy
bonds of matrimony nothing, not
her stern parents, could separate them.
They had arranged the details and con-
cluded that the only thing to be done
was to get married in secret and then
separate until he should graduate from
his college. She, of course, would 90
back to her home and live, with her
parents as if nothing out of the general
run Of events had happened.
But the young man, being without
funds, was in dilemma, and the worst
of it was he could not see his way clear
to procure the necessary amount to pay
for the certificate and ceremony. His
home was in western state, and he re-
ceiyed an allowance from bis father only

nearly two months. He concluded that
