by the panic, the Eng ish fell upon them

their ships, and Admiral Howard rain
tanned a running fight from July 81 to

Churgeable to the Silver Agitation.

Every holder of land, bonds, notes,
securities Or property of any kind, which
has decreased in value since Jan. l.,
1898, can justly charge the greater part
Of this loss to the friends Of silver. "
Every laborer thrown out Of employ
ment during this time, Or who has suf-
fered reduction of wages as result Of
this panic, can justly charge his loss Of
wages to the same source
These disasters are made mono the less
cruel and oppressive by the fact that the
silver party did not intend the result
This country has suffered as much and
perhaps more from the "free silver"
movement than it would have suffered
from a great foreign war, excepting
the loss Of life. The losses Of war in a
just cause might not only be borne with
fortitude, but be considered glorious
sacrifices. The losses of property and

adopted platform which declares
strongly and clearly against the free

follows:
We oppose the debasement Of the ma
tional currency by the admission Of sill
YER to free and unlimited coinage at the
rate Of 16 to I, for the reason that if
such policy be adopted it will not be
possible to maintain the parity Of values

QUEER LANGUAGE.
rhe "Ca,nphor Tongue" OF a Wild but In.
offensive Race.

Ono Of the qucerest languages in the
is the "camphor language" Of Johore,
n country of the Malay peninsula. 1t has
lately been studied and reported upon
by Mr.. Lake, an English engineer in
the service of the sultan Of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka-
por," or camphor language, and is used
by the natives and all others who are
engaged in gathering the product Of tho
Maiayan camphOr tree and only at that
time. If they used either of the Ian
guages of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any camphor,
I and for most curious reason. The cam
phor tree, Dryoblanops camphora, grows
abundantly i'll certain parts Of tho Pc
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
camphor crystals The camphor is not
the same as that obtained from the cam
phor laurel Of Formosa and Japan.
which is the source of the ordinary cam
phor Of commerce. 1t is sort very
highly priced by the Chinese in the en-
balming of their dead, in incense and in
medicine, and the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tivcs believe that each species Of tree
has Il spirit or divinity that presides
over its affairs. The spirit of the cam
phor tree is known by the name of BIZ
san-literally ga woman" Her resting
place is near tho trees, and when at
night peculiar noise is heard in tho
woods, resembling that Of q cicada, the
Bisan is believed to DO singing, and
camphor will surely De found in the
neighborhood. But the spirit Of the CAM
phor tree seems to be jealous Of tho pre-
cious gum and must be propitiated, and
if she knows that hunters are in quest
Of it she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. So it is necessary to speak
in tongue which she does not und "
stand For this purpose the "camphor
language" has been invented 1t con-
sists Of mixture of Jakun and Malay
words, but these are curiously altered
and reversed, and the natives positively
believe that the divinity of the camphor
tree is completely confused. The Jakuns
who hunt the camphor are ono of the
widest Of people, but inoffensive. They
live together with monkeys, dogs, cats,
innumerable fowls and perhaps tame
krnbill in perfect harmony under NOV
able leaf shelters built on poles in the
woods. Boston Traveller.

president IF Erown university. He was
one of the delegates from this country To
the international monetary conference
held at Brussels in 1892 and is an ar

But he sees the folly and danger of at
tempting the inpossible--at least when
one nation attempts it single handed.
The following is DR.. Andrews reply,
published in the Chicago Record, to the
question, "Shall the United States at
tempt the free coinage of silver alonc!"
eff we take up the metal alone, and
that course results as l should antici-
pate in the expulsion of gold, we shall
have in the first place financial crisis
worse than any ever suffered in the
country. This because we cannot in a
long time even by working our minis
day and night, coin silver enough to
take the place which would be vacated
by gold. Prices would surely fall. I'm
mense numbers of failures would occur.
Laborers would be thrown out of work.
Altogether dreadful paroxysm in our
business would be precipitated. Slowly
the gap left by gold would be filled by
the mining and coinage Of silver. Prices
would then gradually rise. At last they
would become higher than now, more
and more approaching the Mexican and
Japanese level.
"But consequence far worse than
any Of these would be that our passage
to q silver basis would erect against for
eign exchange between Europe and the
United States just such barrier as now
exists between Europe and Mexico. It
would annihilate all fixed par between
New York and London, repeating the
terrible Inconvenience in our European
exchanges which we suffered in war
times when we were upon paper
