largely increased importation of
cotton textiles the native mills

The gold standardists are
never better pleased than when
speaking sneeringly of the back
ward condition of silver stand
ard countries. They grand
iloquently excIaim: Look at
China! Look at Mexico! And
then they assume an air of self
satisfaction, which suggests the
belief on their part that they have
"settled" the question. It never
occurs to them that the silver
men might settle it the other way
just as conclusively by exclaim-
ing: Look at Egypt! Look at
Liberia! Both of which have the
single gold standard.
The fact that this wonderful
awakening Of the dormant ener.
gies of the silver standard coun.
tries is contemporaneous with
universal stagnation and finan.
cial troubles in gold countries,
should at least cause people to set
their thinkers at work. ..1.
With silver countries pros:
porous at a time when gold ceun.
tries are-in distress, the idea that
gold is ''meat'' while silver is
poison certainly seems to EN-,
body some elements Of imper.

it should pinch them selves. and
shake off the gold shypnoti
that has dwarfed their soning
faculties, and in SOME cases blum.

The man who has Just taken gas and

All hunters are aware how difficult ii
is to catch sight of woodcocks or par
tridges sitting among the fallen leaves.
Not only do the sober colors of the birds
blend deceptively with their surround
ings, but they manage also to disguise
the outlines of their bodies. In Scot
land recently photographs have been
made of woodcocks concealed in leaves,
and these pictures, while revealing the
birds, show at the same time how in
geniously the cunning creatures have
disposed their wings, tails and heads
30 as to mislead the prying eyes of enc
mics. The bright, watchful eye of the
bird is it's owners surest betrayer, even
in the photographs. - Youths Com
