rise OF the standard by which property
is measured, for this touches the very
life of the world
Within the last fifty years, since the
growth of America and Australia has
made London more and more the CELL
ter of exchanges, and, as it were, the
heart of the economic system, gold and
silver have flowed thither to be sent
back again to distant communities
which are in the process of develop
ment, and the outflow largely takes the
form of loans. But these loans have
to be repaid, principal and interest, in
gold, and as gold daily commands a
larger and larger amount of commodi-
ties, the produce of the debtors fails to
realize the necessary sum and they be-
come bankrupt.
Were the operation OF an apprecia-
ting currency equal upon all men, little
damage might be done, but he eperishes
first who is weakest, and by his ruin
drags down the stronger. The farmer
is the weakest of capitalists, and there
fore has the least power of resistance,
because he can not suspend production.
In like manner farm labor is weaker
than industrial labor, because it can
not combine. Therefore, agricultural
prices are the most sensitive, and it is
only subsequently that manufacturers
suffer through the failure of demand
BENEFIT OF RISING PRICES.
Q. What are the substantial bene-
fits of rising prices.
A, Rising prices, which follow an
increase in the quantity of standard
money, are beneficial in that in the
first instance they give the primary
producers a surplus after his fixed
charges have been paid. This surplus
at once goes into trade. The farmer
or miner, as the case may be, buys
more clothing, carpets his floors, buys
new furniture, pictures, books, musical
instruments, machinery, and many
odds and ends which formerly he was
compelled to deny himself and family.
This stimulates manufacture, gives
employment to wage-earners, increases
commerce and transportation. The
wage-earner gets more employment
and more pay, and in turn has more
money to spend. Consumption is
therefore greatly increased, which in
turn increases production and trans
portation until all find employment
and prosperity prevails. The prevail
ing condition is due to the fact that
on account of falling prices the manu-
facturer and merchant have lost their
best customer.
Q. Can you quote authori-
ties?
A. j. r. McCulloch, an English
economist, says of an increasing volume
of money: at promotes industry and
diminishes the weight of obligations
which press upon the producing classes
whether employed or unemployed"
"New uses will be found for
money" says Thomas Tooke, "when
it is abundant. New avenues of COM
merce will he opened; new branches of
industry will be essayed until increas-
ed production finds employment"
Prof Chevalier, of France, in speak
ing of the increase of money says:
"Such a charge will benefit those who
live by current labor and enterprise
1t will injure those who live upon the
fruits of past labor"
This principal, like the other, is
recognized by all standard authorities
on political economy James ".

But it was time to salute the Easter
morning. Old Micheich gazed at the
stars once more, and hen arose. He
removed his hat, crossed himself and
gathered up the bell ropes. \ moment
more and the night air shivered under
the first resounding stroke. Then came
the second, the third, the fourth. The
lightly sleeping Easter air quivered
with the joyous music of the shouting,
singing bells.
Then the bells ceased. The solemn
service began in the church below.
In bygone years Micheich had al
ways gone down to the service and
stood in a corne near the door, pray
ing and listening to the music. But
it was hard for him to do this now.
He felt tired. So he sat down on the
bench beneath the copper bells and
listened to their waning esonance.
He thought. About what? Micheich
himself could hardly answer the ques-
ton. His glimmering lantern scarcely
lit up the belfry. He could not make
out the droning bells. They were lost
in darkness. From the church below
his old ears caught the singing now
and then. The cid mans gray head
sank upon his chest. Disconnected
cen from the past swarmed in his
mind like bees in the hive.
"Ah!" he said, as the music of the
Easter hymn drifted up the tower
stairs, "they are singing the troparion."
In his imagination he sang that
hymn, again a youth, in the old church
below. The little old priest, Father
Naum, man. years dead and buried,
once more was informing the end of Il
prayer, while children's voices united
in the responses. Hundreds of peas
ants bowed and rose like corn before
the wind. Now they crossed them
selves devoutly.
The old, familiar faces were of those
long since dead. There was the stern
visage of his father. There stood his
elder brother at the old mans side,
signing deeply and crossing himself
again and again. There he himself
stood. young, healthy, strong and joy
full, full of expectation of a life's hap
piness.
Where was that happiness now?
The old mans thoughts fickered up

lumined the hooks and corners of his
life. And all he saw was endless,
~ceaseless. mercileSs labor-labor far
beyond his strength. He saw sorrow,
too-much sorrOw-and suffering unut-
terable.
Alb, where indeed was that happiness
of which he had dreamed?
The burdens of life had wrinkled his
young face, had bent his powerful
back before the time had come. They
had made the joyous boy sigh as his
elder brother had sighed.
There on the left, among the women
Of the village. with her head humbly
bent, he saw his sweetheart. She was
a good oma May the peace of God
be with her soul!
Oh. the pain that she had suffered!
Want and work and woman's woes
had withpred her glowing Womanhood.
Her eyes had grown dim with years
and weeping. The shocks and blights
Of life had painted "A duh fright upon
her comedy face.
All, where was her happiness?
God had givcn them M son their
joy. their very soul. and he was ground
to his death by mems injustice,
The picture broadened and grew
vivid in the old mans mind. He saw
standing in his pew the rich enemy of
the family, bowling his head to the very
ground, CLOSING ovcr in HIS prayers
the wrongs of the widows and orphans
whose lives he had blighted in his sell
fish greed. Micheich felt his heart
grow hot within him now as it had
done then, while the dark faces OF the
holy images on the altar froWned stern
~ upon mans sorrows and mans in
justice.
Put all this was long, long passed.
All this was far away in the old times.
And now all the wide world for him
was this dark tower. where the wind
sighed gently among the swinging bell
ropes.
Let God judge you. God will judge
| you!' whispered the old man, thinking
of his enemy. Silent tears ran down
his cheeks.

The Grand Army encampment committee
Is at work on II plan of bringing the re
sources Of each county of the state before
the crowds who will attend the national Gu
campment next September in st. Paul.
The object is TO give each county oppor-
tunity to build an arch. or some other form
of display, along Third street, and on other
streets where the crowds of visitors from
abroad will congregate. This matter has
been brought to the attention of one or
two counties, and others will be asked to
participate in the movement. 1t will afford
the best possible advertisement for the re-
sources and capabilities Of each county, and
should be the means of starting an immi-
grafton movement that would certainly
prove beneficial. Mr.. w. j. FOotner of st.
Paul has been chosen by the Grand Army
committee to promote county displays. and
the officials of any county desiring to par
ticipate should apply to him for informa-
tion, or to j. s. Pinney, general secretary
of the G. a. II. committees. If a large num-
Der OF counties will take hold and make
creditablc displays in the streets of st. Paul
during tho c~nCampmcnt, the good effects
will be speedy and substantial, while the
cost of the displays would be compare
lively small for each county. This is n
feature of national e~ncampmcnts that will
be wholly new and Minnesota should not
fail TO take hold of it quickly and vigor.

For %COuntry'S Sake.
AN INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS AGONIEs
FROM DISEASE.
tie Was In the Battle With tho Apaches
Whom Geronimo Was Captured.

From the Press, New York City.
Worn with the exposure of army life
on the frontier. n poisoned by the
continual drinking of alkali water.
Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadel-
phia eight years ago, broken down in
health and unable to do any work.
He had served five years with the
Ninth United States Infantry in many
a desperate fight with the Indians in
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won an enviable record. In the
fierce conflict when Geronimo, the
famous chief Of the Apaches. was cap
tured, Mr.. Fleugauf was among the
brave soldiers who, forgetful Of every
thing but duty. charged upon the hos
tile Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never
touched by a redskins bullet or arrow,
and Mr.. Flegauf came near such a tate
as that. A long time before his time
was out he was taken seriously i'll, but
he stuck to his post until an honorable
discharge was finally given to him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the
Indian fighte" was scarcely more than
skin and bones. and for three weeks he
lay desperately Ill In a hospital. He felt
dizzy, and his stomach felt as If 1t had
dried UP. These symptoms were accom-
panied by bloody d~ysentery, which no
medicine eemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering. Mr..
Tlegauf came to New York and was
treated by several physicians. These
did not agree, some calling his disease
catarrh of the stomach, and others
chronic diarrhoea.
In speaking to a reporter about his
illness Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors
helped him, but, with all the money he
spent for advice n medicine, he was
able to work only a small part Of the
time. Since moving to his present
home, No. SIT West Forty-second street,

EASTER Is AN OLD FEAST.
Ia Chinese Had a Spring Festival
$500 Years Ago,

$500 Years Ago.
Few people have any idea that the
originals of the many-colored eggs
which are nov being distributed as
Easter gifts have probably descended
to us from the greatest of the Chi
neSe Spring Festivals" and can boast
of an antiquity of more than 100 years
before the Christian era.
SO there appears to be no new thing
under the sun; and, although the mag
ic eggs of to-day are merely rccepta-
Gle; for Il nondcscript medley of bon
bons and biiouterie, they are Il surviv-
al of one of the quaintest of Old World
customs.
This practical method of disposing of
Easter eggs suggests that much of the
ceremony connected with them is due
to the celebration of the Easter feast,
which succeeds the Lenten feast.
That IAN egg at Easter" is Il very
old prOverb in this country is sutii-
GENTLY shown by the fact that the
pope sent Henry VIII. an Easter egg
in Il silver case; while an exact sched-
ulc Vi tlc pelSoIldl cAleltHeS VI l1u-
ward /. contains, against Easter Sun
day. the suggestive item: 'Four hun
dred and Il half eggs, Is Cd" The
price is as noteworthy as the number.
But the most remarkable feature Of
the usage is its international chaTac-
ter. Thus, in Russia, it is customary
to exchange visits and eggs on Easter
day, and ito drink a deal of brandy"
Again, in Italy, dishes of eggs are
sent to the priests to he blessed, after
which they are carried home and
! placed in the center OF the table. 1t is
the correct thing for all the guests TO

German Women as Farm Hands.


The utilization of women in Ger
many as farm hands, which so many
moralists have considered their duty
to censure, apparently meets with APP
prevail from DR.. Joseph K~rauskopf, the
rabbi, for in a letter from Germany
to his congregation he says: such
farm work for women is neither de-
grading not too taxing. They have
pledged to become %helpmates to their
husbands, and they regard it their
duty to lessen the labors OF their faith
ers, and being physically able to do
their share they regard it wrong to
permit the stronger sex to slave them
selves TO death while they are idling
their time away at home. Judging
from their happy and healthy looks,
they seem to be one the worse for
taking their places alongside the men
folk for the purpose of honestly earn
ing their bread. Had w a little more
practical good sense and less senti-
mentality among our women at home,
many a woman's life might be happier

death to indulge a wife's OF a daugh-

Easter morning. Forming as a cross,
the procession began to move around
the church, amid joyful cries of
Christ has risen from the dead!'
The words went to the old bellring-
er's heart, and ~glancing out he was ex-
allied in spirit. 1t seemed to him that
the waxen candles that the people
bore BLEED with suddenly increased
brillance II the gray darkness, that the
throng moved more and more swiftly,
that the standards waved the more
joyously, and that the awakening wind
lifted up the joyful chorus from below
ard turned it to the bells braZen peals
with n sweetness superhuman.
Never did Micheich ring the bells
with such joy and spirit.
1t seemed as if his old heart had
been welded into the dead copper of
these bells, which laughed and sang
and wept enhancing melody that rose
to the stars above. And the stars
seemed to fairly blaze with the joy of
it as the music poured upward into
heaven and fell backward to caress the
earth.
What a hymn of joy it was those
bells pealed forth! The great bass

zen cry of Christ has risen" And
the tenors, struck to their hearts,
shouted generously. Christ is risen!'
while the changing sopranos, as though
fearing their lesser voices should be
lost to the grand chorus. hurriedly,
like gleeful children striving to out
strip each other, screamed a thousand
times. Christ has risen!"
And that sad old heart forgot its
cares, it's sorrows and it's insults.
The gray bellringer heard only tho

hesitated-and was silent. For a mo-
ment the others sang an unfinished,
uncertain harmony. Then they, too,
ceased, and there was silence save for
the low, sad, trembling droning of
their stilled but still resonant threats.
The gray bell ringer had fallen help
lessly on the bench beside the ropes,
and two tears silently rolled over his
pale cheeks.

er has rung himself out.-New York

brazen music, now singing, now weep

now sinking to the wretched earth; and
it seemed to him that he was sur
rounded by his children and grand
children and that these were their hap
py notes.-the voices of old and young
together pouring out in one grand
chorus a hymn of joy and rapture.
So the old bell ringer pulled the
ropes with strong, nervous arms while
tears poured down his cheeks and his
heart ran fairly over with a happi-
ness he had never known before. And
below the people listened and they said
to each other that Micheich had never
rung so wonderfully before.
