WHOLE NUMBER 1885.

Of a depreciation OF money In that
case, as Prof. Cairnes has shown, the
tendency would be to abundance and
not to scarcity, which would operate
to keep the price from rising, and a
rise would not take place till the de.
mand increased, which would only
come, for the things consumed by
labor, by more monoy being offered
for them. This could not take place
till laborers had more to spend, which
would only he who. the, e-..oI .,.o,~ ,
that is, get better wages.
The solicitude, therefore, of those
who advocate making money scarce in
the interest of labor is like that of a
railroad company which opposed re-
ducing the fare from 10 cents to 5
cents for the reason that laborer by
walking, as many of them did, could
save 10 cents, while if the fare was re-
duced to cents he would only save
five.
The fallacy, then, that it is the in
terest OF labor that the dollar shall be
made dear by being made scarce, OF
that the free coinage OF silver would
provide deprecated dollar for labor,
is as easily exploded as all the other
fallacies brought forward to support
the gold standard.
What labor wants is money plenty
enough to keep labor employed at
good wages.

Territories, which this week voted
against reporting a bill for the adj
mission OF Arizona to statehood, and
which will do the same for New
Mexico and Oklahoma, that the silver
men are blaming Speaker Reed. 1t
is no secret that the action OF the
committee was taken solely because
it was known that Arizona would
have sent two silver senators, and it
is regarded as certain that the same
reason will cause the committee to
take the same action on the bill for
the admission of New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The silver men charge
that Speaker Reed selected the mem
bers of the committee with the
special view OF having them block the
admission OF these territories, and
they will not fail to make use of that
charge against him, particularly in
the northwest.

Crime Among Auimals.

Almost every form and variety oil
human crime is to be found among
animals. Cases of theft are noticed
among bees. Buchner, in his " Psychic
Life OF Animals" speaks OF thievish
bees which, in order to save themselves
the trouble OF working, attack we'll.
stocked hives in masses, kill the senti
nels and the inhabitants, rob the
hives, and carry off the provisions
After repeated enterprises OF this de-
scription they acquire taste for rob-
berry and violence; they recruit whole
companies which get more and mora
numerous; and finally they form reg.
ular colonies of brigand-bees.
But it is a still more curious fact
that these brigand-bees can be pro-
duced artificially by giving working
bees mixture OF honey and brandy to
drink. The bees soon acquire a taste
beverage, which has the same disas.
trous effects upon them as upon men
they become ill-disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plunder the we'll supplied
hives

The latest addition to the curiosities
Of st. Louis is what is called rope
house. 1t is a combination saloon and
hotel. Across the room the proprietor
has rope stretched tightly, and in
front of it and parallel with it is row
of ordinary wooden bottom chairs.
Every lodgcr, upon payment of five
cents, is given chair, and is allowed
to sleep with his head resting on the
rope. They are allowed to sleep until
six o'clock in the morning. Promptly
at that time the bartender is required
to see that every lodger is awakened
and made to move on.
This is accomplished by striking one
end of the rope with bung starter.
The blows have prey much the same
effect as striking the sleeping boarders
on the head with billy, and they
generally move on. If this fails, one
end of the rope is unfastened and the
sleepers are allowed to fall sprawling
on the floor.

The Lords Prayer.

The following beautiful composition
from an unknown source, was found
in Clarkson, South Carolina, during
the war. 1t is printed on heavy satin,
and is quite literary curiosity:
Thou to the mercy seat our souls doth gather,
To do our duty unto thee. Our father.
To whom all praise. all hohor should be given;
For thou art the great God . Who art in
Heaven.
Thou, by thy wisdom, rule the worlds wide
frame
Forever; therefore .. hallowed be Thy name,
Let nevermore delay divide us from
Thy glorious grace, but let. Thy kingdom
come.
Let Thy commands oppressed be by none
But let Thy good pleasure and =. Thy will be
done.
And let our promptness TO obey be even
The very same =. in earth as it is in heaven.
Then for our soul, Lord, we also pray,
Thou wOuldst be pleased to-. give US this day
The food of life. wherewith our souls are fed.
Sufficient raiment and our daily bread.
With every needful thing do Thou relieve US,
And of Thy mercy, pity and forgive us
All our misdeeds, for Him whom Thou ddsi
please
10 make an orrering, for....our trespasses.
And forasmuch, o Lord, as we believe
That Thou will pardon us. as we forgive
Let that love teach, wherewith Thou dost ac
quaint US,
To pardon all....those who trespass against US.
And though. sometimes thou find'st we have
forgot
This love for Thee. yet help. and lead US not
Thro' soul or bodys want to desperation.
Nor let earth's gain drive into temptation.
Let not the soul Of any true believer
Fall in the time Of trial. but deliver
Yea, save them from the malice of the devil,
And both in life and death keep us from
evil.
Thus pray we, Lord, for that of Thee, from
whom
This may be had . for Thine Is the kingdom,
This world IL Thy work, this wondrous story
To Thee belongs the power and glory.
And all thy wondrous works have ended never
But will remain forever and. forever.
Thus We poor creatures wOnd confess again.
And thus would say eternally Amen!

IN MARBLE HALLS.
Why Not Adopt the Rest Stone2


The Whatcom Repeilie advances
some good reasons for the use of mar
bfe in construction OF the State capi-
tol, if the very excellent sandstone
that may be obtained almost on the
ground is rejeoted, simply on account
OF color. 1t says:
Now that the building is to be
erected the matter of using the most
desirable materials becomes import
ant. AS we understand the contract,
sandstone is called for. There may
be such stone desirable, but our at
tention has not been called 10 it. No
stone should be used which is not
quite light in color. 1t is all import
ant that tbs building be so construct.
ed as to be durable and also makes
the very best appearance when fin
ished. In this connection, the sug-
gestion that the sandstone be substi-
tuted by the lime rock from Roche
Harbor, is entitled 70 a careful investi-
CATION. As we understand the mat
ter, it is claimed that Roche Harbor
rock can be furnished at the same
cost as the sandstone, and that the in.
creased cost. if any, results from its
being harder to work. 1t is said to
contain 9S4 per cent. of carbonate of
lime, and when "tooled" presents q
surface which at a little distance ap.
pears white, notwithstanding tie
blush cast of the undressed rock.
To offset the increased cost of working
the limestone, or Roche Harbor mar
BILE, it is suggested that there is a sur
plus of about $4,000 of the appropria.
tion, and that about $4,000 more
could be saved by substituting steel
dome for the one called for by The
specifications, and that steel dome
would be quite as good and substan.
tial. One strong reason urged for the
change is that the sandstone being
porous, is much more apt to show
iron rust and other discolorations
than lime rock, and that the durabil.
ity OF any sandstone. and its being af.
fected by air, frost and moisture in a
wall are matters OF uncertainty. 1t is
we'll known that limestone is one of
the best, if not the very best Of ma
terials, so far as remining in an un.
changed condition is concerned, and
this if more especially true the better
its quality. Sandstone becomes
either harder or softer, scarcely ever
remaining in its quarried condition,
and which it will do, can only be de.
termined by using it. While the
State of Washington is building an
expensive and permanent capitol
structure, it should see to it that when
completed. it will be "a thing of
beauty" and the expenditure OF a mar
gin of the appropriation to secure
such result becomes Of trifiing import.
ance. Whatcom county has had .
little experience in this line. Her
courthouse is of sandstone; it has
turned dark and the building, though
but few years old, looks as dingy as
if it had been built fifty years. If
the commission and the contractor
can agree upon the change, it now
seems to the Reveilie as if it would
be the best of policy to do so, because
every possible element of uncertainty
as to results should be eliminated
from a public enterprise OF so much
magnitude and importance.

THE newspapers 81 Minnesota / ave

The newspapers Of Minnesota have
not been slow to show the people what
would result if Populism should win.
In this line the Delano Eagle SAYS:
"Shall we Kansasize Minnesota? Not
just yet! The people of our grand COM
monwealth have common sense enough
and good Judgment enough not to fol-
low the Peferian steps Of our sister
State. Kansas has decreased in popu-
lation according to the records, that is
she has had born within her borders
more than 10000 babies during the last
year while her actual increase is only
about 1000: People from the east do
not want to; go to Kansas. They are
not satisfied with the outlooks of a
State so vacillating in political affairs.
They want stability and that's what
Minnesota proposes to her eastern
neighbours"

If it pays to produce increasing guam

what are we to expect the production

SOME of John Lind's old sayings are
being used effectively against him in
the campaign. This year he is strain
ing every nerve to win and is pretend
ing to be everything in order to catch
the unwary voter. To the Democrat
he says "You should vote for me be-
cause we are all working for the same
thing" His Republican bait is 'you
should vote for me because I am Re-
publican MYSELF He calls on the
Swedes to vote for him because he is a
Swede. Now listen to what he has
said in other campaigns: ITO the Re
publican, ''that every intelligent man
should vote for the party that always
had been, and from the very nature of
the men and principles comprising it
always would be, for the best interests
of the people," Good argument. Ac-
cept his advice and apply it at the COM
ing election. To the Democrat, ''that
if the doors of the State prisons in the
United States we're opened, three
fourths of all the mon who would walk
out would be Democrats, that he did
not mean by that that all Democrats
were thieves and rascals, but that
nearly all rasca1s and thiouao popo
Democrats" Now he wants their
votes. To the foreigner, that 'sany
man who came to this country and
swore his allegiance to our flag who
would let his duty to his party and to
his principles be prejudiced on the
grounds Of nationality should move
to the country from which he came"

ONLY about ten days of the suspense
which has afflicted this nation remain.
Then the suffrages of the people will
work out the salvation of the nation
and business will resume it's normal
condition. The silver sentiment which
has been rampant has lost it's force
and by the time election arrives there
will be little left of it. The country
would be better off if this uncertainty
came only once in six years.

SAMUEL J. TILDEN: Uncertainty is
the prolific parent of mischief in all
business. Men do~nothing, because
they are unable to make any calcula-
tions on which they may safely rely.
They undertake nothing, because they
fear a loss in everything they would
attempt. They hope and wait. The
merchant dares not buy for the future
consumption of his customer. The
manufacturer dares not make fabrics
which may not refund his outlay. He
shuts his factory and discharges his
workmen. Capitalists cannot lend on
security they consider unsafe, and
their funds lie almost without interest.
Men of enterprise who have credit or
securities to pledge will not borrow.
The people need to know that the gov
eminent is moving in the direction of
ultimate safety and prosperity, and
that it is doing so through prudent,
safe and conservative methods which
will be sure to inf1ict no new sacrifice
on the business of the country. Then
the inspiration of new life and we'll
founded confidence will hasten the re-
storing processes of nature and pros
peritY will begin to return.

BRYAN was wrong on the tariff in
1892 and is on the wrong side of the
money question in 1896. Do the labor
ers who have had their wages reduced
and their time cut in two believe they
can benefit themselves by following
such a man? Do they expect the Dem
ocratic party to keep it's promises of
1896, when the departure advocated by
that party is even more radical than
that of four years ago? Working men,
stop and think.

cal man of the Minneapolis Journal,
figures out majority of 10000 for the
Mckinley electors in this State, and
he places Gov. Clough's majority over
Lind at 5000. Mr.. Jermane's forecast
for the Mckinley electors is con-
servative one, but his estimate of
Clough's vote is too low by from five to
ten thousand. Gov. Clough's majority
will be in the neighborhood of Is, 900.

mates given, Mr.. Eastman finds very
gratifying outlook for the Republican
candidate, so good in fact that he an
nounces that "Morris is Safe.'' In or
der to be elected he figures that Towne

majority of over 1900. This Towne
is not liable to obtain.

THEOUTLOOK

The election of the Populist candi-
date, John Lind, would go far to de.
prive this State of the substantial ben
efits which would otherwise result to
it's business and Industrial interests bv
the election of Mckinley. The States
which have heretofore elected Populist
governors have furnished melancholy
lesson of the curse of Populism to any
State which passes under it's fatal
yoke. John Lind, clothed in the
striped uniform of the Democrats and
Populists, and standing on their plat
forms, has the impudence to appeal to
Republicans for their support on the
ground that he is Republican. IF he
is a Republican, what is he doing in
the camp of the enemies of the Repub-
lican party and its principles? If he is
Republican, why has he accepted the
leadership of the hostile forces which
are seeking the overthrow of the Re
publican party? A Republican, indeed!
He is a double. dyed traitor to the Re
publican party and to the Republican
cause. If he is a Republican, why
should he ask the votes of Democrats?
He is twice traitor by his own con
fession-a traitor to his new friends
and to his old ones-to the party he
has deserted and to the party whose
leadership he has accepted. If we are
not much mistaken his treachery to
both will be rebuked by both alike,
with an emphasis which will astonish
him and his Populist supporters. -

SAN FRANCISCO Chronicle: Byran's
independence of English control is not
of long standing. It is scarcely four
years since he stood up in congress

that American workingmen were not
skilled enough to compete with Eng
lishmen in the manufacture Of timed
plate. If Bryan's endeavors had
proved successful at the time we speak
OF the men who turned out 100, 100000
pounds of American timed plate last
year would have been out of a job.
