Mr.. Mckinley in his letter ofaccept-
ance declared the Wilson law to be a
failure, among other reasons, because
it's duties do not cover the difference
in the labor cost between this country
and Europe. We have already shown
that in the great industries of pig iron,
steel rails and cotton cloth the exist
ing duties are more than the entire la
Dor cost. Here is another example:

The price per half box (1sS24) in

The Ledger then says that neither
Mr.. Bryan nor his supporters have pro-
duced title of evidence to prove the
truth of the quoted position, that free
silver will help the American work
man. That Is false. But without go-
ing into history, the Item will again
explain a fraction of the facts show
ing Mr.. Bryan to be perfectly correct.
Free silver increases employment.
It enables the people to get work. It
stops this closing down of mills. It
stops these failures daily taking place.
It causes rising market, which is the
chief stimulus to the extension of new
and old enterprises. 1t tends in the di-
Tection of booming business fall kinds,
for promoters see in it o chance to get
a reward for enterprise. It tends to
increase wages. 1t tends to give much
more employment to all classes of
hands. 1t promotes construction of all
kinds. It gives the farmer fair returns
for his labor. 1t enables him to live. It
increases the value of farm property.
It increases the security of the mort
cages upon it. It enables the worker
to save something from his wages. It
increases the earnings Of railways. 1t
gives railways far more business It
stops railway failures when failures are
the result Of insufficient earnings. Ttin-
creases the sales of manufacturers. 1t
increases the sales of the wholesaler.
It increases the sales of the retailers
in all lines. Consequently all these
must employ more help, can afford to
pay higher wages. Even the banks can
earn greater dividends, because of the
increase of general trade. Thus 1uxu-
ries can be bought, and the trade de-
pendent upon luxuries be stimulated.
All this and much more in the same
direction is the result of an increase of
the volume of money now circulating
in the channels of trade. Also, in pre-
venting a good many corners in the
money market such as the present.
Also, in the stsppage of this 100 per cent.

Parties.
Tie Public Ledger quotes Mr.. Nc
Kinley as follows: NO matter what
kind of money we have, we cannot get
1T unless we have work. Whether it is
poor money or whether it is good
money, whether it is gold or whether it
is silver, we cannot get one dollar of it
unless we have employment for our
hands and heads
How about issuing watered stock by
the ton in Wall street?
How about the "unearned incre-
ment," as it is called, of the Astor real
estate in the city of New York?
How about the railway that takes adj
vantage of its monopoly to gouge the
public out of fares ten times as high as
other roads charge for the same serv-
ice?
How about the stock and the produce
gamblers who get a corner on wheat
or something else, and sweat their vic
Tins out of untold millions?
Possibly Mr.. Mckinley considers al
these and a thousand other ways Of
p1undering the public-all of which, by
the way, should rightly go to the pro-
ducers who make such values possible
-as q reward for the employment of
their heads"
But aside from Mr.. McKinley's loose
way of talking, the Ledger printed it to
offset Mr.. Bryan's attitude, that free
silver will help the American workman.
The Ledger adds that if Mr.. Bryan were
correct, there would be no opposition
from intelligent people to "substitus-
ing the silver standard for the gold
standard"
See right here how hard it is for the
Public Ledger to. confne itself to the
truth. Neither the democratic plat
form nor Mr.. Bryan has ever said a
word about such a substitution, and
the Ledger knows such to be the fact;

The elephant at the Jardin des

ors a trick which could not have been

intelligence. His house opened upon an
inclosure called the Elephants park,
containing pond, in which he would
lay himself under the water, concealina
every part of him except the very end
Of his trunk mere speck, that would
hardly be noticed by stranger to the
animals habits.
A crowd would assemble around the
incIosure, and, not seeing him in IL,
would watch IN expectation that he
would soon issue from the house.
But, while they were gazing abouts
copious sprinkling of water would
fall upon them, and ladies and gentle.

would run for shelter under the trees,
looking up at the clear sky and wonder.

Immediately afterward, however,
they would see the elephant rising slow.

played.
In the course of time his amusement
became generally known, and the mo.

BICYCLE AND PULPIT.
Denouncing the Wheel is Like Railing at
tha T,oeomntfve.

, the Locomotive.
It is only natural that the ubiquitous
bicycle should have gotten into the pull
pit-not literally, but as a subject for
sermons. Although the clerical stand
point is usually a conservative and a
more or less critical lone, yet OF the
many preachers who have touched on
the subject of the wheel, few, so far as
we are aware, have denounced it as an
evil thing. They have spoken warning
ly of the abuses to which it may contrib
ute, but have, as a rule, recognized that
its dangers, at their worst, are far out
weighed by its beneftsa fact that
shows the prevalence of clear judg-
nent and good common sense.
Bicycling" said one well-known
New York clergyman, "has done much
for the public good. 1t has made the
enervated take outdoor exercise. 1t
has contributed TO the spiritual good
Of the community. Half the religious
doubts of the world have been dys-
peptic doubts. To possess moral health,
man needs physical health. Bicycling
has helped intellectual progress by pro-
noting social intercourse. 1t is Civ
ing us better roads. In fact. we cam
not estimate the good done by the
wheel. l thank God for it. and would
canonize the inventor if knew his
name.''
Denouncing the bicycle, from the
pulpit or anywhere else, is like railing
ut the railroad or the steamship. Every
great mechanical invention, each new
phase of development, brings to fallible
humanity some opportunity of evil
along with its power for good. Shall we
abandon the art of writing because it
has created the crime of forgery? Must
we all go unclad because the apparel of
some is sinfu1ly ostentatious? It would
lie almost as foolish to seek to abolish
the steed of steel because now and then
one rides it to perdition.- Munsey's

THE FABLED sALAMANDER.
Marco Polo Says That the Wool Is What
We Cali Asbestos.

Marco Polo Says That the Wool Is What
We Call Asbestos.
Chingintalas is also province at the
verge of the desert and lying between
northwest and north. 1t has an extent
of 1G days journey and belongs to Great
Britain and has numerous towns and
villages. There are three different races
of people init-Idolaters Saraeens and
some HISTORIAN Christians. At the
northern extremity of this province
there is a mountain in which are excel
lent veins of steel and ondanique. And
you must know that in the same noun
tain there is vein of the substance
from which salamander is made. For
the real truth is that the salamander is
no beast, as they allege in our part of
the world, but is a substance found in
the earth; and will tell you about it.
Everybody must be aware that it can
be no animals nature to live in fire.
seeing that every animal is composed OF
all the four elements. Now /, Marco
Polo, had Turkish acquaintance of the
name of Zurfear, and he was a very
clever fellow. And this Turk related
how he had lived three years in that
region on behalf of the great kaan, in
order to procure those salamandcrs for
him. He said that the way they got
them was by digging in that mountain
till they found certain vein. The
substance of this vein was then taken
and crushed, and when so treated it di-
vides, as it were, into fibers of wool,
which they set forth to dry. When dry
these fbers were pounded in a great
copper mortar and then washed, SO as
to remove all the earth and to leave only
the fibers like ffbers of wool. These
were then spun and made into napkins.
When first made these napkins are not
very white, but by putting them into
the fire for awhile they come out as
white as snow. And so, again, whenever
they become dirty they are bleaehed by
being put in the fire.
Now this, and naught else. is the truth
about the salamander, and the people
Of the country all say the same. Any
other account of the matter is fabu-
lous nonsense. And Imay add thatthey
have at Rome a napkin of this stuff,
which the grand kaan sent to the pope.
