Street Crowds in Caracas.

One Of the features of the city Of
Caracas, Venezuela, that most
strongly impresses a foreigner is the
rapidity with which a crowd gathers
in the street. This is best exempli-
fed when some of the many
wandering musicians, in whom Car
acas abounds, prepare to give an
impromptu open-air concert. Their
first notes no sooner echo through
the neighborhood than there gathers
to listen a vast throng that almost
blocks up the thoroughfare. The
cobblers and all the other tenants of
the entries, having no doors to open
nor stairs to descend, are on the spot
almost instanter. They eagerly
drink in the music, but at the same
time bear wary eye upon the hats
of the musicians, and no sooner do
they observe the slightest indication
that one is about to be taken off for
the purpose of taking up collection
by passing it around among the
crowd than they disappear even
more quickly than they came. ...

One or the Other.

Bishop Julius, of New Zealand, is
much troubled by the number OF
spurious coins found in the church
ofertories of the diocese. In a re-
cent sermon he said: II never saw
SO much bad coin in all my life. To
offer to the church-the cause of God
money that the baker or the
butcher would not accept shocks me.
The man that would do that wants
the grace of God badly-or three
months"

New Sleeping Car.

A new pattern of a sleeping coach
has been brought out in England
that is supposed to meet some pc
culiarly English wants. The car is
81 feet long and 9 feet wide, with
single-berthed and double berthed
compartments alternating, cor
ridor running the full length. Each
passenger has room to undress COM
fortably and finds hooks in album
dance upon which to hang his
clothes, and by boiling his door can
be assured of privacy.

Tolstoi Denounces with vigor a Plan
for Only Partial Reform.

tor Only Partial Reform.
Count Tolstoi, in characteristic
letter to the Bourse- Gazette, gives
his views on question which is
causing considerable agitation Of
mind at present in many circles Of
! Russian official and private life
namely, that of the punishment Of
flogging in its various forms, says
the London Standard.
The provincial zemstvos Of large
number of provinces, as well as
several highly placed officials in
Asiatic Russia, have formally de-
cided to petition for the exemption
from this degrading penalty of all
peasants who have learned to read
and write. Count Tolstoi, with the
ardor natural to the artistic tempera-
ment, cries "Shame" upon their
niggard asking, and, in an article
headed with that word, very broad
ly hints that, while the peasant, for
the last three-quarters of a century,
has been steadily advancing, his
masters have in some respects failed |
to keep their place in the van of the
march toward civilization.
Count Tolstoi is foremost au-
thority on the life of the peasant,
and the specimens he gives in this
article of the, abuse of the power OF
fogging by the small fry Of official
dom are certainly striking. These
insignificant members of the lower
governing ranks have no uniform,
but, when engaged on official duties,
wear some kind of outward and
visible sign of authority, generally
large medal. For speaking his
mind to one of these village "elders"
who happened to have the sign of
Office on at the time, a fellow villager
was duly fogged, although his only
fault appears to have been that he
overlooked the medal which con-
verified an ordinary neighborly diff
ference of opinion into an insult to
the car! The poor fellow, Tolstoi re-
lates, consoled himself with the re-
mark that Christ suffered stripes,
and babe US suffer, too"
There are, however, many in
Russia who think that the moujik is
still sufficiently brutal to make the
entire abolition of fogging meas ]
ure of mistaken humanity, and Toll
stois cry of "Shame" upon the
moderate reform proposed by certain r
will, doubtless, be met by =
he not unnatural reply that Tolstoi Z

All this leads naturally and inevitably to
the general conclusion that the best money
for all classes in the long rn-of course,
including the larmcrs-is that which is most
stable in value; that is, which most com
plctcly and steadily serves the purpose of a
medium Of exchange ltshould be constantly
borne in mind that the great volume of the
business of the country, what is called
exchange of commodities, is conducted on
credit, Statistics show that the proportion Of
the trade Of the country that is carried on by
means of money to that carried on by means
Of credit instruments is in the ratio of about
one to nine. The mere hint of a change in
the value Of money sends thrill of alarm
along the entire credit system, and leads to
instantaneous contraction. This is at once
felt in every branch of business and industry.

THE PEOPLE AND FINANCE.

THE PEOPLE AND FINANCE.
There are a few elementary principles in
economic science, says the Century the
mastery of which by the great body of the
American people would be Of incaculable
value to US as a nation. One of these is that
no government can create money out of
anything which it may choose to call money.
Another is that all classes of the people,
rich and poor laborer and employer are far
better Off with sound and stable currency
than they are with any of the varieties Of
Cheap money
Another is that no part Of the financial
or business world can be benefited or injured
by changes in the monetary standard of
value without corresponding benefit injury
to the other part. Still another is that the
larger part Of the business of the country is
transacted upon credit, aud that anything
which tends to disturb or to foroshadow dis
turbanccs of the monetary standard of value
Cripples credit and dcmomlizcs all business.
Finally, though we have by no means
c2laustcd the list, it would be Of the highest
importance for the common people to become
thoroughly convinced Of the iact that in
every instance in which the financial world is
disturbed by changes or threats of changes
in the standard Of value the sufferers are

What startling and sudden change
within the short period of eight months,
from December 1899, to August, 1892
What had occurred? A change of ad-
ministration all branches of the govern
ment had been entrusted to the Demo-
cratic party, which was committed against
the protective policy that had prevailed
uninterruptedly for more than thirty-two
years and brought unexampled prosperity
to the country and firmly pledged to its
complete overthrow and the substitution
of a tariff for revenue only. The change
having been decreed by the elections in
November its effects were at once antici-
pated and felt
The per capita of money has been prac-
tically the same during this whole period.
The quality of the money has been identi-
cal-all kept equal to gold. There is moth
ing connected with our money therefore,
TO account for this sudden and aggravated
industrial change Whatever is TO be dep
recated in our financial system 1t must
everywhere be admitted that our money
has been absolutely good and brought
neither loss nor inconvenience to its hold
