Which? Which?

In communities where wageworkers
predominant Mr.. Bryan continues to
deny any intention of cheapening the
dollar. He knows and they know that
this would mean diminishing by one
half the purchasing power of wages
and reducing by one-half the value of
all savings, assurances and loans. And
so he pretends that free coinage will in
crease by nearly one-half the price of
silver and make a silver dollar worth
truly as much as a gold one.
But in the west and in farming COM
munities Mr.. Bryan wakes eloquent on
the need of q cheaper dollar to increase
the price of farm products and enable
the farmer to pay 500 of debt with s51
in silver. Leading silver advocates at
the west have repudiated Mr.. Bryan's
idea for eastern hearers only that free
coinage will increase the price of sill
YER to 1923. They say fatty that such
dollars would be as bad as gold. What
they want is dollar worth only 81
cents.
Which dollar does Mr.. Bryan really
want? He cannot have both. Which
is to be bunkoed-the workingman or
the farmer. the mine owner or the
debtor? Which?

The Wandering Fish.

very highly as curiosity by Mr.. Au-

West Indies. THAT is" said Mr.. Be-
mott, while showing his prize, "the
skeleton of what is known as the wan
dering fish, and there are not half a
dozen other specimens in the world.
The name has been applied to it be-
cause so few have been captured. It's
wonderful feature is that on the front
of the skeleton there is a perfect out
line of the scene on Cavalry, The Sa-

Benoit, lis the reverse side of the
fish's skeleton. With arms extended, as
if invoking benediction, the figure of
bishop is presented. The ornamental
ton Of the vestments is delicately
traced in the bone, the cross being rep
resented by seams running up and
down and across the back of the chasu-
BILE. The bishop is bareheaded, but his
Nitro is supplied by part of the skele-
ton which is fitted over the head of the
figure. Another bone makes the cro-
zier. Holding the skeleton up to the
light it appears transparent, with the
human form outlined within it,, When
the skeleton had been exposed, Mr..
Benoit shook it, and from it came
bell-like sound. The fish is sixteen and
one-half inches long.

Hygienic Writing Paper.

Among the latest things in station
cry is a writing paper which is spe-
cially manufactured for the prevention
of the spreading by letters of various
forms of infectious diseases. Everyone
is aware that in receiving letters from
disease-stricken places, at home or
abroad, they run a certain amount of
risk. This stationery is said to be rem
dered contagion-proof. The paper is
SO impregnated with antiseptics that
all deleterious organisms adhering to
it are rendered inert, even though a
fever-stricken person write or touch

Cuba's DiscOuraging Experiment.

Cuba is furnishing a nearby example
OF the beauties of government regula-
ton OF the value Of money on the Bry-
an plan. Captain-General Weyler had
deficient supply of cash, and so he hal
the BancO Espanol put out lot of paper
money and issued an astringent edict
that everybody should take it at par
with gold. AS the island is practically
under martial law, here was govern
ment control of the currency at it's best.
II you didn't take the bank bills at par
you were liable to be shot Even Bryan
couldn't do more for silver than that.
But did the edict keep the bank notes
at par? Not for day. Almost instant
ly they were at discount, which soon
amounted to 20 per cent. Even with
guns and bayonets you cannot make 80
cents equal to a dollar. Weyler has had
to give up trying. He has finally al
lowed the Havana Stock Exchange to
quote the value of the bank bills in
gold. We were going to say that this
proves the poweriessness of law to es-
tablish the value of money, but we re-
member in time that Cuba has less
than 100000 population to our co.
O0O, 900; that she never put down the
greatest rebellion of modern times;
that her inhabitants are not the rich
est, proudest, most intelligent people
on earth, and SO We are not so sure.
Her case is only a part eff universal
experience, but We have changed all
that.-New York Post.

Andrew jackson versus w. j. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan says a cheaper dollar
would be better for the working classes.
but Andrew Jackson said in his last
message: Engaged from day to day in
their useful tolls they do not perceive
that, although their wages are 1omi-
nally the same or even somewhat
higher, they are greatly reduced, in
fact, by the rapid increase of a spu-
rious currency, which, as it appears to
make money abound, they are at first
inclined to consider a blessing.
It is not until the prices of the neces-
sarles Of life become so dear that the
laboring classes cannot supply their
wants out of their wages that their
wages RISE"
