THROUGH WONDERLAND.
Personally-Conducted Tours to
Yellowstone Park via Penn
SyIvania Railroad.

The Yellowstone Park is one of the
most wonderfully attractive regions OF
the world. Its beauties of scenery, the
wild grandeur of its mountains and
canons, compel the admiration of every
visitor, while its phenomenal geysers and
curious neurological formations make it
rich field for the investigation of the
scientists. Universal interest attaches to
it, and in order that the natural desire to
visit it may be accomplished in the most
satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged for a
tour covering a period of sixteen days,
leaving New York and Philadelphia,
Thursday, August Fl.
AS the tour will be run under the per-
sonally-conducted tourist system inaugu-
rated by the above named company, it is
hardly necessary to give the assurance
that it will be arranged in the most COM
plete manner. 1t might be we'll to state,
however, that no other means of seeing
the park thoroughly is comparable to that
afforded by a we'll ordered personally
conducted tour.
A special train, consisting of dining,
Pullman vestibule drawing room sleeping,
compartment, and observation cars, which
will be the best that can be secured, will
be provided, in which passengers will
live en- route, and whenever the journey
is broken the choicest rooms in the lead
ing hotels will be reserved for the use of
the tourists, for which regular rates are
paid, so that the guests, although
members Of party enjoy all the privi-
leges of individuals who may have made
their own selections.
The party will be conducted through
out by tourist agent especially selected
for his ability and experience, with
chapron to look after the comfort of lady
passengers
The rate, covering every necessary ex-
pense, will be $2Io from Boston, and $500
from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and Harrisburg; proportion
ate rates from other points.
Detailed itinerary will be sent on ap-
plication TO Tourist Agent, 2o5 Washing
ton Street, Boston: 1895 Broadway, New
York; $50 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, or

The Premium on Gold.

Our Secretary of the Treasury
fears gold will 60 to a premium.
Does he not know that the premium
on gold is already very high pre-
MUM, as measured by all property
values? Gold buys property, and
property buys gold. Gold now buys
twice as much property as this
same gold bought few years ago.
Then bushel of wheat bought a
dollar of gold; now it takes two
bushels of wheat to buy a gold dol
lar. The premium in wheat, on
each gold dollar, is a bushel of
wheat. 4 few years ago ten pounds
of cotton would buy q gold dollar.
Now it takes twenty pounds of cot
ton to bny a gold dollar. The pre-
MUM Oh one gold dollar is now ten
povnds of cotton. The laborer'S
premium on gold dollar is four
hours of extra work. Often the
laborercr's premium on gold is a
loss of all work. These iliustra-
lions fairly represent the present
premium on gold, when the gold is
purchased with any of our proper
ties, or by labor, We are now
paying, actually paying. IN our
great national financial transactisns,
enormous premiums on the gold we
have been buying, during the past
two years, and are now buying with
United States bonds.
