Maintained.
In the National Review an English
man comes forward in defense of tree
coinage. This gentleman, Mr.. PoweR,
declares that the Englishman at Lease
cannot complain of the United StateS
trying to prevent England from still
further increasing the debt we owe il.
He puts the case between the two
countries as follows:
But as between the United States
and ourselves, we have two nations
confronting one another, in the clear
and prominent relation of debtor and
creditor flor they are our largest
debtor and we are their largest cred
itor), and over a period of more than
90 years-no inconsiderable chapter
in the commercial life of progressive
nations in a progressive age-the
value Of the money measuring their
mass of debt to US has steadily grown
and grown to nearly double its former
figure, and threatens, with the confirm
alton and extension of the gold
standard, to grow still more. 1t seems
incredible that Englishmen should
lecture the United States in sorrow and
anger from the creditors standpoint,
and not even see that the facts of the
case turn their argument dead against
themselves. The English nation has
no wish to be dishonest, any more than
the American nation. If Englishmen
as a whole saw, as their advisers might
make them see, what q heavy and
grievous and additional burden this
unforeseen and unintended apPrecia-
ton of the money measure has laid
upon their debtor kinsmen and rivals,
they would surely as whole echo
Arthur Balfour's indignant protest
against the doctrine which Mr.. Glad
stone and Sir William Harcourt, with
the approval of some other public
men, were not ashamed to utter in the
house of commons-that the apprecia-
ton of gold was welcome 20 England
as n creditor nation. Just because we
are the great creditor nation of the
world. our boasted love of fair play
should make rs constantly anxious for
a standard which preserves Justice be.
tween ourselves and our debtors"
This puts the matter very clearly.
but if Mr.. Powell, speaking for Eng
land, protests against the adoption OF
the gold standard as dishonest, because
it increases the debt due that country
by other nations, what shall we say of
those Americans who clamor for the
gold standard. when even Eng1ishmen
can sec the injustice and hardship of
this change?

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.

Now Is the Time TO Clean and store
Them Away Under shelter.
Now that the greater part of the sea-
sons work is finished, it will be good
plan to gather up all of the implements.
plows, harrows, cultivators, mowers.
rakes, binders and all such tools and
store them away under shelter. 1t is
not only necessary TO get them under
shelter, but to store them away in 4
good condition. If left exposed to the
weather considerable damage Will De
done by rain, sun, wind and snow. If
proper care is not taken in storing
away, considerable injury will be done
10 the iron and steel from rust, and to
the woodwork by decay. The dirt
should all be cleaned off. If allowed
TO remain on, as is often done, it will
increase the conditions for decay.
Clean off the dirt of every kind, washing
il necessary, and then paint well. in
seed oil and Spanish brown, red YER
million or red ochre mixed to proper
consistency makes not only a cheap
paint but a durable one. and it will
pay to keep the woodwork of all the
implements and the wagons covered
with it.
Black asphaltum paint is best for the
iron and steel except the working parts
the share and mold-boards of the
piows, the sickles of the mowers and
parts of this kind that need to be kept
bright These should be well oiled
all over or covered with unsalted grease
and then covered with a thick white
wash into which a small quantity of
glue has been stirred. This will prevent
rust and save much time in getting the
implements in condition for work in the
spring.
The work of cleaning and painting
can be done better now than at any
other time, and the tools will be all
the better for if. Some time IN the
spring can be saved If little care is
taken in storing them away. Put the
implements'like the mower, binder and
hay rake IN first, and the pillow. cult
vator and harrow that viii be needed
first in the spring, last. This wiz
save overhauling in the spring. If the
tool shed has no floor. put boards under
the wheels and under every part of
the machinery that GENES directly
upon the ground.
Shelter for the machinery and put
ting away in good condition will
pay as well as good sheltering of the
stock. Summer sun and rain are al
most, if not quite. as injurious as win
ter wind and storms.--St. Louis Re.

Now experiences Eject of Part
Ing with silver In 1879.
Day BY day, as failures occur and
STOCKS go down, it is favorite thing
Aor the gold men to attribute these
events to free silver and tell us this is
what 1T means. Wait until free silver
comes and then judge it by its works,
Dut IN the meantime, our dear gold
standard friends, take your medicine.
You are not experiencing the effects of
me coming OF free silver, but are expe-
rlencing the legitimate and inevitable
sheet of parting with it in 1873. The
hurt to silver, though sac, 600, 900 a year,
Is but the ''fy on the wheel" When
SILVER was thrown out of it's work as
money, turned into commodity and re-
duced IN price year by year by con-
SANITY increasing and approaching
gold standard, every other product and
commodity was broken down with it.
Inc whole base upon which all the Sc
curItles that Wall street deals in, and
billions more that do not come to Wall
street at all, has been undermined and
crumbled by loss of products ON pro-
auction, by low prices brought on year
by year by the growing standard of
Faiue that in 1873 was substituted for
our monetary unit of silver. We have
sown low prices in the foundation and
are reaping them in the superstructure
We are getting, not the coming of silver
but the legitimate ending in failure of
the gold policy. 1t has run us to the
limit in our basic operations and ROW
the enormous and towering structure
{ OF debt built upon labor, now profitIess
labor, is feeling the effect of weakened
( foundations, that is all. Railroads cut
ting rates until increased business only
means increased deficit, factories piling
up products, or shutting down, or SELL
ing at cost and little under in order
TO prevent deterioration of machinery
by idleness, the disorganizing of work
ing force, and. worst of all, the loss of
channeds OF trade built up during many
years and now the most valuable part of
heir capital, are all experiencing what
the gold policy has done for them and
by and by they will attribute their
troubles to the true cause. When they
do there will be heavy reckoning.
When silver comes rising prices will
ret in and slowly and surely we shall
get back to profit for production, good
times, solvency for all that has not pre-
viously succumbed. But before that
comes n good many industries and in
terests will have persisted by the way
side.-N. Y. Financial News.

mistakably Stated.
| Those newspapers which tell their
readers that under free coinage at
/ sixteen to one the government would

votes to secure something better.
Free coinage, SO far from requiring
the government to buy silver, merely
requires it to stamp dollar marks upon
silver as it now does upon gold, and
to return the silver so stamped to the
person who may have delivered it. The
objection which all persons except gold
monometallists raise relates, not to
this stamping, but to the amount OF
grains which it is proposed to put into
each piece of silver stamped. If the
amount suggested were IT'S grains in

WHAT MExICANS EAT.
An Americans Account of a Dinner In
the Presidents House.

an american account OF a Dinner IN
the Presidents House.
Many Americans and other foreigners
have made complaint of the highly sea-
soned sameness in Mexican fare, and all
kinds of Latin cookery, but one who
has ever sat at table with the distin-
guished residents of CbapultePec
president sDiaz and family could
find no cause for criticism on this or
any other reasonable score. The cuisine
is Enthusiastically Mexican, but the din
ner is so well selected that the most dis
eliminating taste finds itself thorough
iy enjoying he novel quality of the re-
past. The soup comes on with his thick
enIng CT roasted pea flour and lard
toasted bread in lieu of crackers, fol-
lowed by the ever-present eggs and
their eternal Mexican accompaniment
of fried bananas; and these advance the
way for multitude of other delicacies
dear to the Latin gusto. One of the
dishes served, if the dinner be typical
Mexican one, is the far-famed mole de
guajelote, which has come all the way
down from the days of the Montezumas,
bringing with it the highly savored
pleasures of roast turkey, overspread
with heavy dressing of peppery chile
and rich seeds. The tortilla, small.
thin pancake made of hand-ground
corn, is popular alike among the rich
and poor, and this will appear, deity
rolled, and containing finely-hashed
meat, strongly impressed with chile and
a milder dash of garlic, the whole MAX
ing up the toothsome enchillada. There
are accompaniment of freshly-sliced
tomatoes, spiced lettuce, radishes and
varied relishes, and from time to time
there appear other more substantial
viands. The evcr-present frijole beans
appear, delicately Drowned in lard, as
only a Mexican cocinera can prepare
them; stuffed artichokes and mutton
chops come faJniliarly along, as do
small whitefish from the nearby lakes,
ami scalloped oysters from the Mancha,
both served as a mid-dinner course.
For dessert there are ices, preserved
fruits, deliberately prepared marina
ladies', nuts and raisihs, and a great
variety of rich. fancily- and
iellied cakes of small size, called pas
teles Home-prepared extract of cot
fee is poured into the cup of each at
the table, to finish the meal, and the two
or three spoonfuls of this sirup-like and
Iye-strong composition are plentifuliy
drowned with hot milk, making cup
of coffee of such delicate aroma and de-
licious taste that its memory will lin
ger long as one of the best things in all
Mexico.-Edward Page Goston, in

Fish Can Scent the Bait.

The sense of smell and taste appears
to be well developed in the great ma
iority of the fish species. Tobacco
thrown overheard from vessels is often
seized by mackerel and halibut, but it
is Immediately rejected. Nearly all va
rieties of fish, and more especially the
ground swimmers" have choice of
food. Halibut and cod are attracted
a great distance by certain kinds of
bait. Herring, when fresh and in good
condition, are splendid bait for cod,
but are no use whatever if they have
become stale from long keeping. Cat
fish. buffalo and one or two varieties of
the bass will bite bacon when they will
paw no attention whatever to the lus-
cious angIeworm. The above and other
facts. which could easily be cited in
proof, have caused fishermen and sci
entists to come to the conclusion that
the senses of smell and taste are re-
markably developed among the fnny
tribe.-Atlanta Constitution.

A SCHOLARS OPINION.
Dr. Andrews Believes the Single STANDARD
Means Eventual Rankruptcy.

Dr. Andrews Believes the Single Standard
Means Eventual Bankruptcy.
Having made thorough study of the
money question from the standpoint of
q scholar, President Eben J. Andrews,
fof Brown university, announces that he
is ardently in favor of free coinage.
DIR. Andrews, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution, contends that while free coin
age will undoubtedly increase the total
amount of silver produced, it will not,
as the advocates of gold monometal-
Iism insist, accomplish a reduction in
6 the price of silver. Under a double
standard silver could not be mined at
such a low marginal cost as that which
now prevails, and besides other causes
would operate to increase it's value.
In regard to the adverse position
which the money power of the country
has taken on the money question, DIR.
Andrews is outspoken. He says that he
has never known such bitter and de-
.ermined opposition. 1T means" says
he. that the money power seated in
London, but with agents in New York.
Philadelphia and Chicago, is determined
to continue the appreciation of gold in
:his country. At the same time. the
real OBJECT OF THESE hOfelSn sNhdicdttS
is kept in the background. regard the
money question as one of the greatest
issues of civilization"
The example which DIR. Andrews has
set will not be without its influence
upon the campaign. His position is the
result of study and reflection. Two
wears ago he was predispOsed in favor;
of the gold standard, but having in
xestigated the question more thorough
Nv. he has come to the conclusion that
a single standard means the eventual
bankruptcy of the nation Taking this
view of the matter. he pronounces him
self warmly in favor of free coinage.

races. They are an abomination in the
sight of good landscape gardening; and
as for three terraces, one above an

characterize such atrocious mutilation
of the ''old sod
In making a single terrace, it is q
somewhat difficult matter to make a
loose bank of earth remain in place
until the sod is applied, and even after
the sod is in place any pressure on the
top of the terrace is likely TO cause the
whole upper edge to slip off. To pre-
vent this trouble, drive two or three
rows of stakes along the extent of the
proposed terrace, and to the upper part

an Illustration That Does Not Illustrate
Labor I'm Turkey.
In one of the Neutrality-suspicious. for
the infant class passing around the gold
standard press the subject of the wages
of Mexican iabOrers is discussed as illus
trating the fate of the yorkingmen OF
the United States should silver win.
InfoFmation about the wages of Mex
lean labor is interesting and would be
important if it were pertinent to the
issue.
The true measure of the wages of
labor is its productive power. 1t was
from this standpoint that Mr.. Blaine
made his famous remark to the effect
that labor in the United States was
cheaper than in any country on the
globe because each laborer here pro-
dUced several times as much as the
iEborer of any other country.
The explanation of the low wages of
Mexican laborers is found in this quota
ticn from a Mexican newspaper en-
bodied in the catechism referred to:
The laboring classes regard themselves
as plant, which moves by extraneous
aids only, and has no power of volition,
and no desire to exercise it if it had"

President Diaz has done to awaken his
country industrially. the native labor

There would be as much justice in
citing the wages and conditions of the
laborers of Turkey or Italy to illustrate
the effect of gold recommendation as to
cite Mexican wages as a sample of the
effect of free-silver coinage.-St. Louis
