does not. Why does not the great states

THE REAL SUFFERERS.
Where the Ill Effects of the Bryan Policy
Would Fall.

Would Fall.
There have been countries where the
rich have been comfortable and the poor
wretched. France had come to be such
a country when the revolution broke
out there a little more than a century
ago. There have also been countries
where there was nearly enough of the
comforts of life to go around, and wherc
the great majority of the population
found the material ingredients of hu-
nan happiness within their reach. The
United States has been such country
most Of the time since it became ma
ton, and if it is not quite such II country
to-day, it expects TO be so once more as
soon as the effects of temporary follies
and errors have passed away.
What has never been known on earth
is a country where the poor are com
Portable and happy while the rich are
wretched. There is no record in his
tory of such land as that. Religion
can conceive of it; indeed there are
good many people who have lively eX-
pectation of reaching some such place
some time, but it will not be on this
ttIlll oI III llllS iilCs llC luiC hCi La
that where there is suffering which is
due to the lack of material commodities
or to unfavorable material conditions,
the poor get deal the worst of it.
There is a sentiment, which is more
or less prevalent in this country this
year, and which is being carefully cul
tivated by some dishonest politicians,
that the arrangement of business and
the collapse of credit which would fol-
would help the poor by the same process
by which it hurt the rich. If it did i.
would do what is contrary TO all human
experience. 1t would undoubtedly do
permanent harm to many well-to-do
people, whose holdings would be wrest-
ed from them by the exigencies of panic.
but in the end the people who would
suffer most would he the poor, who
would feel the effects of bad times first
and longest, and the people who would
profit most would be shrewd rich ,aen
with ready money to buy, very cheap,
property which their poorer brethren
could not hold. The men who profit
by a wreck are the men who can drag
in the wreckage. The men-outside of
the silver mine owners-who would
eventually profit by silver coinage are
rich men, most of whom are fighting
silver coinage with all their might. The
men who would suffer most from it are
the wage-earners--the men whom
Debs and Altgeld and Bryan himself
are trying to array against "honest
money. ."--Harper's Weekly.

The officers Of the electric light COM
pany have brought to our attention GER
tain faors which it is proper for us to
present to our readers. In an editorial
on Friday morning, we asked why coal
costs more In this town than in Ports
mouth, and other cities. In this city
the officers OF the electric light company
assure us that the cost of ton of coal
at their fire room where it is burned,
is So. 65 per ton, and is made up as fol-
lows: This company buys the best
Georges Greek coal. and the deliveries
last August cost 3d. O8 per ton, lin the
company's shed Oh the wharf,) includ-
ing hoisting and wheeling, wharfage,
II cents; carting from the wharf to the
com pany's fire rooms, % cents, and the
waste from this coal from handling
from the vessel in to the boilers Is per
cent, or 81 cents, making the total cost
of company's coal delivered in the
Gre room So. Go. 1t seems entirely fair to
the company to state the above facts,
in order that the public may know that
the reason why it appeared that coal
was higher in Portland than in Ports
mouth and other cities. may be that a
different basis was taken for Portland
than for the other cities. The above
shows that the Portland rate is the rate
at the fire room, whereas we cannot tell
whether the rate at Portsmouth and
Salem is the rate On the vessel, on the
wharf, or whether it includes wharfage,
insurance or waste.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING MONOPOLY.

The claim set up by the Evening
Express that the clause in the act al
lowing electric light companies to be
organized under the general law, which
forbids them to do business in town OF
city where another company is doing
business or is authorized to do business,
was intended 1--WE quote the Express's
language) "simply to save established
concerns from being vexed with schemers
who had no idea of really going into bust
ness,' is not well founded. To save them
from "sschemers who had no idea Of
going into business" may perhaps have
been one of its objects, but its principal
purpose was to save them from persons
who did have an idea of going into busi-
ness-that is to secure them monopoly
and shut out competition. That the

What Cold Ia.

A person who has never been in tho DO.
lar region can have no idea of what cold is.
When we have tho temperature down to &c
or 10 degrees above zero, wo think It is bit
terly cold, anu if our houses We're not ms
warm as ut least 80 degrees above zero wo
should begin to think of freezing to death.
Think, then, Of living where tho mer-
curry goes down to 30 degrees below zero
in the house in spite of tho stove. OF
course in such n case fur garments arc piled
on until man looks like great bundle
of skins.
DIR. Moss Of the polar expedition of
1856 among other odd things tells of
the effect of cold on u wax candle which he
burned thore. The temperature was 85
degrees below zero, and the doctor must
have been considerably discouraged when
upon looking ut tho candle he discovered
that the flame had all It could do to keen
warm.
1t was so cold that the flamc could non
melt all tho wax of the candle, but was
forced to cut its way down. leaving q sort
of skeleton of tho candle standing.
There was heat enough, however. TO
