Prosperity OF silver Using Countries

~ " OOOA 30 - OOL1AOCOli3 Ac1's AACA
Britannia Majesty's Consul General
at Shanghai, China, shows the
practical workings of the silver
standard in the East, and the gold
standard in the West, with gold at
a premium of about so per cent.
+ puts to shame the exclamation
lof gold countries, "What would be-
come of this country if we should
60 to silver standard?"
We say, first, we have no doubt
that if the mints of the United
States were opened to both gold and
silver alike the parity between the
two metals at the ratio of 16 to /
would be restored; but if it was not
restored, Americans would be the
hgainers and not the losers by the
difference of exchange. Mr.. jamie
son in his prize essay, explains it
thus:
"The continual rise in the value
of gold, as compared with that of
silver, has changed everything.
British goods got so dear in their
silver value that the Oriental was
forced to make for himself, and the
decline in the value of the white
metal has so helped him in his
work that he cannot only make suf-
icient for himself but is able to ex-
port them to advantage. The rise
in the value of gold has doubled
the silver price of British goods in
the East, and has made their use
almost prohibitive, while the fall in
the value of silver has brought
down by over a half the gold price
of Oriental goods in gold-using
countries, and is continually in
creasing the demand for them. The
conditions are SO unequal that it
seems impossible to continue the
struggle long. 1t is like handicap
ping the champion by giving to his
opponent half the distance of the
race.
The impossiblility of the Euro
pean competing with the Oriental
in the open field has been proved in
America. The Chinese there by
their low wages SO monopolized la
bor that they had to be excluded
from the country or the European
workmen would have starved or
been driven out. But the European
countries are not threatened with
the laborer himself Gas the Ameri-
cans were, where he knew the price
of European labor, and could learn,
undertand how much he should get
himself) but with the products of
that labor done at Oriental wages
Besides, it would be easy enough to
refuse to employ an Oriental to do
your work while it is difficult to
decline to buy goods made by him,
especially as they improve in quail
ity and get cheaper in price. The
temptation to buy them becomes
all the greater as the money earned
by the British workmen gets less.
He is the more prone to do so, and
declines to buy his own made, but
dearer goods. Protective countries
are better off. They can impose
increased duties on Oriental goods,
and so stop them from flooding their
markets. But England with her
free trade has no defense, and the
brunt of the burden will fall upon
her workmen. The evil is getting
greater. Every farthing in the in
crease of the price of gold as COM
pared with that of silver makes
British goods / per cent dearer in
the East, while every farthing de-
crease in the price Of silver makes
Oriental goods / per cent cheaper

Retirement Of the Greenbacks by
Stealth
Senator Sherman in his late pub
lie speeches has declared himself as
being opposed to the retirement of
the greenbacks. The National b.
metdllist commenting thereon ex-
pressed the belief that he made the
declaration merely as a matter of
policy, and that he could be safely
counted on the side of the money
power all the time. His resolution
looking to the preservation of the
gold reserve and providing that
when greenbacks are redeemed,
they shall only be reissued for gold,
fully confirms that belief
The resolution is simply an at
tempt to do by stealth what he does
not dare to do openly. TO say that
the green backs shall only be reis-
sued for gold is equivalent to say
ing that they shall not be reissued
at all. Under existing conditions
nobody would give gold for them.
The men who control practically
the entire mass of gold in the coun-
try, are the very ones who are
vociferously demanding the retire
ment of the greenbacks. The idea
that these men would exchange gold
for greenbacks is absurd.
Mr.. Sherman and the whole re-
publican party had better heed the
sharp word of warning that comes
from the Chicago Inter Ocean. In
it's issue of January 2, that paper
says:
"Does John Sherman really think
the country would tamely submit
to such radical monetary revolu-
tion? The hook is baited with a
merited attack on the Democratic
revenue law, but it's barb is none
the less plainly visible. The Amer
lean people have had enough de-
monetization on the sly"
Decentralization on the sly" Is
not that pretty sharp? But it is
absolutely true nevertheless. The
resolution not only means the per-
manent retirement of. the green
backs, but it means the gold stand
ard pure and simple. 1t is a dis
tinct recognition of that standard,
and in effect a declaration that it
must be maintained.
No, you don't John! A resolution
of that kind might have been sneak
ed through Congress in 1873, but
the people have their eyes open now
and they are focused right on you.
Not SO Easy To Pay,
1t is easy to issue bonds-a bun

must be taken at the whe |
of labor; many'sthe wagonload
Of cotton and wheat; many's
the ton of ore to be picked

many's the stitch that must be

THE CLASSICS.
Theory That They Were FORCED ~
Monks of the Middle Agea.

Theory TIM They Were Forced ~
Monks of the Middle Ages.
In the seventeenth century Father
Hardouin, a French Jesuit, maintained
that the great majority of what We
consider to be the Greek and Latin
classics were in reality forgeries, the
work of medieval monks. This view
has met with no acceptance among
scholars, but it has recently been re-
vived, at least so far as concerns the
Latin historian, Tacitus, and support
ed by able arguments, If we are to be-
lieve a writer in HERMITAGE, March,
who claims that the theory has been
~unjustly neglected by scholars. We
quote part of the article:
IAN Englishman, Ross, in a very II
rious book, entitled 'Tacitus and Brac-
%ciolini,' has advanced the idea that
the historical works known under the
name of the Annals and the Histories
and attributed to Cornelius Tacifus,
are not at all the lost works of this
illustrious writer, but historic PAM
phlets against the emperor of Ger
many, written by one of the secretaries
of Pope Martin ", Poggio B~racciolini,
and published by him under the name
of Tacitus. " 81 II Il This thesis has
been taken up and developed almost to
the point of demonstration by a French
savant, NJ. Hochrat, whose two vol.
umes on The Authenticity of the AN
nal and Histories" of Tacitus,' will re-
main as n of the best specimens Of
that scientific penetration and that in
telligent and fine eruditiOn that give
to French learning a place apart from
that of other nations. This work, be 1t
understood, has set all the critics by
the ears. The professors are scandal
lied that any one should dare to DEM
ontrate to them that what they have
been taking for an original work of the
first Or second century is of the fif-
teenth century, and they have organ
lied against the author a conspiracy
of silence Nothing is more curious
than to see the traces of their feeling
shown indirectly by series of little in-
voluntary and almost forced admis-
sions. In brief, the assertion of M.
Hobart remains untouched, and n
Russian savant is at this moment &C.
cupied with showing that if the DE
Moribus Germarum' is a work of the
fifteenth century, with the authenticity
of this work disappears all that de-
plOrable theory of the pretended re-
generation of Roman character by Ger
man purity, chastity and virtue, which
has worked so much evil in recent
years.-Litert ry Digest.

For Summer Tan.

The athletic girl can do much to i'm
prove the appearance Of her tanned
skin by submitting it to a thorough
scrubbing night and morning. She must
scrub well, must pc careful to avoid a
rubber brush, and must look upon soap
and the free S Of it with favor. Here
are very simple directions which she
should follow every night while she is
is gay. athletic summer girl: Just be
fore retiring she should take her scrub
bling brush, which has been made for
this purpose, rub it we'll with soap, dip
it in hot water, and then literally scrub
the face and throat with it. She
should be careful to use good soap.
An Opaque soap is to be preferred to a
transparent one. After the face has
been thoroughly scrubbed it should be
rinsed in hot water and dried with q
soft towel. Then a cream should be
gently rubbed into the skin and al
lowed to remain over night. In the
morning the cream should be washed
off with hot water and then the face
we'll rinSed with cold water.

News Travels Fast in the Wilder
ness.

How news is disseminated is a mat
ter of wonder to the Northerner, accus-
toned to the p~ostoffice and the daily
paper. 1t is an old saying that news
goes faster in proportion to the rarity
of the medium, and the saying proved
true in the deserts Of Arabia appears
to be equally true in the Carolina
mountains. You lose a cape out of the
carriage lat least we did at the be-
ginning of a two days excursion into
the wilds of the hills, over roads so
bad that nothing more civilized than a
mule cart had ever been known to pass
them before, and ON your homeward
way a man comes down from a cabin
perched high OH the hillside to tell you
that Adams, some five miles away, has
got your cape and will carry it to town
on Saturday. How does he know?
Here and there beside the wood roads,
or at the crossing Of two ways, you
may see a bit of board nailed to Il
tree, with a little pent house over it,
and a paper tackled upon it proclaim
ing some matter of public interest;
but your cape was not such a matter,
and, if it had been. the usual noun
taineer can not read.-Western North
Carolina Cor. of the New York Post.

About the House.

Denim coverings are excellent for
nursery floors, as they are easily
brushed, and rugs look we'll upon them.
Double carpet lining should be used
under the denim to give the proper
warmth for cold weather.
A medium-sized paper pad with a
lead pencil attached hung over a
kitchen table will be found of great
convenience. II articles needed are
written down upon this pad they will
not be overlooked. When the house
wife starts for market the outside slip
can be pulled off and taken with her
instead of her trusting to her memory,
with the danger of forgetting some
simple but most important article.
Do not put fruit Jars into a closet
where the silver is kept. The rubber
bands upon the jars will affect the sill
yer and make it tarnish quickly.
A little kerosene oil is excellent for
cleaning a zinc bath tub. Rub the oil
On with a wooden cloth, then wash it
off with hot water and polish with
powdered bath brick. The result is
very satisfactory.

SIS that quite right, d~octor?" Lucre-
tia objected.
1T is a prescription" he returned
"just as I tell one person to take hot
baths, I tell you to be selfish and lazy
though you haven't much natural abil-
ity."
Poor little Lucretia," the doctor
thought, when she was gone. He had
known her since a child. and he recog-
niZed in her recital of symptoms the
beginning of a hopeless disease. Mark
Farley was a brute and Maud is a ty-
ant and the whole town imposes on
her. I'll try to give her a little good
time, though it's a late start"

the habits of a lifetime. The first morn
ing when she heard the rising bell she
thought of the doctors command and
concluded she would have her toast
and coffee brought to her. She was half
terrified at her audacity. Maud came
in. her face redder than usual from a
recent %scrubbing.
70 pnn't wan ounr oninn IN ~o% ~
IMcretia?" she asked, sharply, and
poor Lucretia huddled on her clothes
and went down to breakfast like a
naughty child.
But during the day she made some
progress. Mrs. Lynn sent word that
Jimmy is having fits and would Mrs.
Farley come over?"
81 am very sorry" she said to the
messenger, "but I'm not we'll, so l
can't 60" Her conscience hurt her
sorely a%fterward, for she had seen
Jimmy through all his previous fits,
and it seemed cowardly to desert him
now. In the afternoon, however, she
went to Miles Dry-Goods Palace" and
bought herself two silk gowns and a
pair of high-heeled slippers. In her
heart she had always loved French
boots, but she had mortified the flesh
by wearing broad toes and common
sense heels.
She had also read literature of an up
lifting tendency, not so much because
she enjoyed it as because she thought
she ought. Now she read the ~silliest
novels on which she could lay hands,
and even subscribed to a paper given
up to jokes and gibes.
She spent long afternoons playing
casino with Jimmy of the Fits. Poor
Jimmy was not an accomplished player
and he sulked when he was beaten, so
here Lucretia had a chance to be I'M
selfish while pursuing pleasure, and
she always let the boy win.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
There Is a Pot of Money for the Dis
coyery of a Cure That Cures.

There Is a Pot of Money for the Dis
covery of a Cure That Cures.
If an incentive were needed in the
search for a. cure for consumption, it
would be found in the bequest Of a re-
Gently deceased French woman, Nine.
Audifired, who has left the sum of
$780, 900 in trust, the interest to be paid
annually for the rest Of his life, to the
physician of any nationality who dis
covers such a cure. If any person still
exists who does not believe that this
dreadful disease is contagious he must
be convinced upon reading the facts in
relation to it brought out in the study
of it's prevalence in converts. A sta
tistical inquiry among the Catholic
nursing orders of Germany shows that
the deaths from tuberculosis form
nearly two-thirds of the total deaths,
and in half the returns this proper
ton reached th~ree-fourths. A case was
cited where a nun died from the dis
ease, and, although the cell was, as
supposed, thoroughly purified, two
other nuns. both healthy women, who
tenanted the cell. n after the other,
speedily succumbed to the fatal NAL
ady. A minute investigation after the
death of the third showed that the cord
near the bed, which was attached to
the dropping bolt of the door, had not
been removed at any cleansing. This
was taken away, publication again re-
sorted to, and a fourth nun took the
cell, and after five years has shown no
signs of consumption.

Foreign Hotel Names.

There is room for a little healthy
Americanism in the naming of New
York hotels. The Victoria and the
Brunswick have been closed. We have
the Empire and an Imperial, but no
Republic. We have the Windsor and
ST. James, but no White House, Month
cello, Montpelier or Washington. There
are Mt. Vernons in many cities, but
they are generally Of an inferior class.
We have a Marie Antoinette, but no
Martha Washington. We have a Hol-
land house and Savoy, Vendome and
Normandie, and St. Cloud and Greno-
BILE. In other American cities there
are a few American, United States and
Congress houses, but most of them
were named a great many years ago,
and Washington houses are generally
of the third class. Are travellers so
un-American that hotels must have
foreign names to attract them?
