PROSPERITY AND UsURY.

Tho Public Ledger quotes Mr.. Nc
Kiuley as follows: aNo matter what
kind OF money we have, we cannot
get it 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 water I'd stock
by the ton in Wall street?
How about the aunearned incre.
ment,I as it is called, of the Aston real
estate in the city of New York?
How about the railway that takes
advantage of its monopoly to gouge
the public out of fares ten times as
high as other roads charge for the
same service?
How about the stock and the pro-
duce gamblers who get a corner on
wheat or something else, and
sweat their victims out of untold mil
lions?
Possibly Mr.. Mckinley considers all
these and a Thousand other ways Of
plundering the public-all of which,
by the way should t1ghtl, go to the
producers who make such values pos
sible-as reward for the aemploy-
ment Of their heads"
But aside from McKinley's loose
way Of talking, the Ledger printed it
to offset Mr.. Bryan's attitude, that free
silver will help the American work
man. The Ledger adds that If Mr..
Bryan were correct, there would be
no opposition from intelligent people
to substituting the silver standard
for the gold standard"
See right here how hard it is for the
Public Ledger to contine itself TO the
truth. Neither the democratic plat
form nor Mr.. Bryan has ever said
word about such a substitu
ton, and the Ledger knows such to
be the fact but it would falsify to
seemingly make out a stronger case
for itself than it has.
The Ledger then says that neither
Mr.. Bryan nor his supporters have
produced little of evidence to prove
the truth of the quoted position, that
free silver will help the American
workman. That is false. But with
ont going into history, the Item will
again explain fraction of the facts
showing Mr.. Bryan to be perfectly
correct.

Tho dutch In Japan. 1910.

The Dutchmen were confined within
the narrow bounds of their island prison
which, as Kaempfer tells us, was by
his own measuring 236 PAGES long by SO
paces broad-and shut in by high pal
isading topped with spikes A moro
1nonotonous existence could scarcely be
conceived In the earlier days some half
dozen ships would arrive during the
year, but from the beginning of the
eighteenth century not more than one
or two annually-generalIy about Sep
tember. They had scarcely anchored
when the resident, with his retinue, had
to set out ON his long and costly journey
to Tokyo, to deliver the customary pres
ents to the shogun. The humiliations
these poor Dutchmen were compelled to
undergo are we'll described by Kaempfer
in his immortal history:
''As soon as he (the Resident Van
Brutenheim in 1691) came into the em-
peror's presence the commissioners cried
out, 'Oranda Kapitein. - . Accord
ingly, he crawled on his hands and
knees to u place between the presents
and the emperor. = . Then, kneelinR,
he bowed his forehead quite down to the
ground, and so crawied backward like
crab, without uttering one single
word. So mean and short thing is the
audience we have of this mighty mon
arch. +"
In the following year, 1892. the new
resident, Van Outhoorn, was subjected
to even greater indignity. "We were
commanded, - writes Kaempfer, "to sit
upright, take of our cloaks, stand mp.
walk, turn about. sing songs, compli-
ment one another, be angry. etc, to
jump, dance, play gambols. ETC., !" and
even ''to kiss one another like man and
wife. which the ladies of the court
showed particularly by their laughter
they were well pleased with. ''-Athe-
