"I wish the great mass Of the
people would recognize the import.
auce Of politics as much as the q.
nancier does. Whenever you bring
up any question which concerns
them they always tell you that it is
. business question, and they can
not allow business question to be
interfered With BY politics. Then,
my friends, che rest Of the people
can afford TO make . business out
of politics for once. Our oppo-
nents always mean business, and
the reason Why they have succeeded
In controlling il because they
meant business, while the people
out here would be willing to accept
anything that the party said was
all right. They are not willing to
do it now. but they have done it in
the past. For twenty years the
same influences have controlled both
political parties. The financial in
fluences of New York have written
the platforms Of both parties, and
in every instance they hvae written
a platform that leaned towards BIZ
metallism and that nominated can
didates who leaned toward the gold
standard. Ny friends, l think
Prince Bismarck about q year ago
gave expression to very impor-
tant sentiment. Talking to the
farmers Of Germany he said the
farmers must stand together and
protect themselves from the drones
Of society, who produce nothing
but laws. l believe that Bis
marck's classification of society on
this question is a proper one. He
puts the drones on one side and the
bees on the other, and, my, friends,
the drones have always found fault
with the bees"

land !l

Mr.. Bryant am glad there
are few of them left, because you

lican platform, as they are getting
to be so few that he will draw q

IL all the nations Of the world
were to demonetize gold. and make
silver the monetary standard, the
people would learn something about
the intrinsic value Of gold Of which
We have lately heard so much.
Gold and silver are by far the best
fitted for coinage and redemption
money of all the metals known and
it il chiefly for this parpese L !
these metals command the high
price that they do. ID is contended
by the gold standard advocates that
government cannot make any ar
ticfs more 80 les ~~~luxble By the
passage Of any Law, but every one
knews that when market Of great
er demand is created for an article
that that article will advance in
value according to the increased
demand. 1t so happens that there
is but little more silver and gold
produced in the world than is re-
quired for the worlds redemption
money and it is on this account
principally that these metals are SO
valuable. We might say that the
mints Of the nations of the earth
corner the markets for gold and
silver, aud that combined they form
vast crust"
Gold, in many ways is not as
useful as copper, and the people Of
the earth could do remarkably we'll
without it. The only things which
can truly be said to be of intrinsic
value are those which can give sup
port to the life of man, and these
consist principally in what he can
eat and what he can wear. An ar
titicial value has been given by gov
ernment to both gold and silver,
and governments by law can in
crease or lessen this value at their
will. During the late war the gov
ernment increased the value Of
wheat, corn and all manner of pro-
visions by creating a great demand
for these articles, and by simply
creating a greater demand for sill
yer by adopting free coinage of that
metal the price of ~silver bullion
will advance to its market value Of
tgenty-three years ago. nisrrst~x<-.

TREE CLIMBING CRARs.-Al

TREE CLIMBING CRABs.-An
Ohio man, Il. b. Newcome, who
has recently returned from South
Africa, tells this story about that
country which is unfortu nately not
accompanied by affidavits
"They have q crab ont there that
climbs the cocoanut trees and bites
OF the nuts and let them fall to the
ground. Then he backs down the
tree and eats the fruit.
"The natives who inhabit the re-
gions infested by this i'll condi ton
ed crab are well aware that the low
er portion OF the crabs anatomy is
soft and sensitive, and they be-
lieve that the crustacean was thus
constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the
ground, and when, consequently,
he might with safety release his
grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop
the depredations, which often ruin
the cocoanut crop, is this: While
the crab is engaged in nipping off
the cocoanuts they climb half way
j up the trees and there drive o row
of long nails right round the tree,
allowing an inch or 80 to protrude.
"1'he crab has no knowledge OF
disaster, nor yet of the fitness OF
things. As he descends the sensi-
tive part of his body suddenly
touches the nails. Thinking he
has reached the ground he natural
ly let's go. Instantly he falls back.
ward and cracks his own shell on
the ground.

The exclusively gold nations like
England may show the most mass

but it shows also the most helpless

bier walks of life. The gold and
silver nations like France can ex-
hibit no such individual fortunes
as abound in England, but it has
a peasantry that with their silver
savings can pay q war idemnity
