with sketch of Arthur Sewall, Democratic
Vice-Presidential candidate, and a mum Der of
articles bearing on the money question"
makes up this volume of 800 pages. The
author, who belongs TO the staff of the Omaha

merit for the book. ''It goes to the public, :"
he AYERS, "as the simple and hastily written
life history of one who, unaided by inherited
wealth or environment other than that of the

been an incalculable loss to mankind; tells
about the ruinous fall of prices and insists
that the free coinage of iron at 16 to 1 with
gold is the only remedy and entirely practi-

however, an extremist in his opposition to
bimetallism. and that he is a gold monometal-
list of the uncompromising kind will appear
from these expressions of his:
''Silver is an old and faithful servant, but
commerce has outgrown its use, except as a
subsidiary coin. That the great nations will
unite 10 reinstate it is altogether improbable.
Bimetallism has become q back number For
the United States alone to sanction free and

For The ends of being and ideal grace;

Most quiet need. by sun and candle light
love thee freely, as men strive for right;

1T REST.

There is silence in the cottage,
For the toer's tasks are o'er,
Weary eyes have dropped in slumber
That will open nevermore;
White, cold hands are softly folded
On the Pallid dreamers breast,
And the angels hover nigh her,
For her heart is stilled-at rest
Rest, for the hours are gone.
And now the time has come when thou canst lie
Tranquil, peaceful meath Gods starry sky.
Rest on, thou heart rest on.
Lo the thin, worn hands were tired;
They had labored go long,
And the eyes were dimmed with weeping
Ger the worlds dark sin and wrong,
And the heart was weary-weary
With its sorrows cruel and deep.
Now its cares are all forgotten
In that calm, unbroken sleep
Sleep, sleep thou, wearied one,
Lies long. dull day has died within the west.
Its changeful hours, its lingering moments done
Sleep, sleep, in soft, sweet rest.

II there were dreams to sell
What would y ou buy?
Some cost passing bell;
Some light sigh,
That shakes from life's fresh crown
Only rose leaf down,
If there were creams TO sell,
Merry and sad to tell,
And the crier rang the bell
What would you buy?
A cottage lone and still,
With bowers high
Shadowy, my woes to still
Until die.
Such pearl from life's fresh crown
Fain would shake me down
Were dreams TO have at will
This would best heal my ill,
This would 1 buy.
But there were dreams to sell

What shall call,

There are no ghosts to raise

OUR JAPANESE RTAL.
Pacific Trade Threatened by the
Conquerors of China,
FREE SHIP BILL SHOULD BEPAssBD.

Mr.. Chamberlain, the Commissioner of
Navigation, Says the Control of Trans.
Pacific Carrying Trade Is Gradually Slip
ping Away from Us.
WASHINGTON, Nov 16-The report OF
the commissioner of navigation for 1895
after referring TO the necessity for the pas
sage of free ship bill, states that our
maritime rank on the Pacific is now
threatened by new rival, Japan, which
under liberal and progressive laws, has
just established a trans-Paciflc steamship
line to the United States and, with the
cooperation of American capital, is pre-
pairing to extend rapidly the service In
1880 the tonnage of American vessels en-.
tering the United States from the ports of
Asia and Oceanica was 2S3 395 tons and OF
foreign vessels Az, Psi tons. In 1895 the
American tonnage entering was 80S, ,4Sl
tons, the foreign tonnage 657 ,2O6 tons
The large and profitable carrying trade,
once conducted between Asiatio and Euro.
pean ports, which seldom entered Ameri.
can ports, has almost entirely passed
away. We have already seen the Ameri.
can flag, the commissioner says, almost
wholly disappear from the mid Atlantic,
save as borne by the mail steamers of the
American line, and the figures presented
tend to show that the carrying trade of
the Pacific is slipping from us. Before it
is altogether lost Commissioner Chamber
lain suggests that congress inquire into
the conditions of trans-Pacitic transporta-
ton. For the control of this trade the
United States enjoy obvious natural nd
vantages. Within the last five years
Japan's seagoing steel steamers have in
creased from thirteen of 27 70l tons to
fifty-three of 106, 1888 tons. The number of
American steel and iron steamers on the
/ Pacific coast is forty-three of %, ,625 tons
The report recommends an immediate
extension of the act of 1892 under which
the steamships New York and Paris wer,
admitted to American registry and the
steamships st. Louis and St Paul wer,
built in the United States. Under exist
ing law it is impossible to establish on th
Pacific mail service even approximatins
our Atlantic mail service on equal condi
tions with those found necessary to the re
cent creation of the latter. The report op
poses at length the proposition to impos
10 per cent. additional discriminating du
ties on all cargoes broughtinto the United
States by foreign vessels 1t points GU
thai for over eighty years the United
States have followed the policy of recipro
city in shipping. Every other muritim
nation of considerable rank has adopted
and now pursues the same policy

WASHINGTON Nov. 16.-In view of the
fact that the letter of Tom Watson accept

the Populist party has been published,
Senator Marion Butler yesterday made
public his reply, written when Mr.. Wat.
sons letter was received, in which he took
exception to its tone. The reply is in sub.
stance rs follows:
You, in effect, advise Populists not to
support the joint electoral tickets that
have been arranged In large number of
states. Is 1t possible that you fully ap.
preciate the effect of such advice9 At least,
upon reflection, you must know that II
enough Populists should follow this ad-
vice it would mean the defeat of Bryan
and the election of Mckinley. Besides, If
your advice should be followed by enough
Popullsts the Peoples party would not
have single eleotor in the electoral COL
lege. In the states where we have joint
electoral tickets We viii get the bulk, II
not all, Of the Peoples party congressman.

oral tickets we win not get single elector
and fear not many congressman, If any
you certainly cannot mean, however
much you may have favored middle Of

wise your friends to do that which at this
time would be the most effective agency
in placing in power Mckinley and his
backers-the trusts and monopolies.

humanity, whose prayers today go up from
millions of homes for William j. Bryan

every other consideration and hold up his
hands and do the full duty of Americans
and patriots. Let us remember that it is
a suffering people and a betrayed repub.
lie, and not Democratic politicians, that
today call for our help and demand our
services. Bryan will be elected and the
government redeemed if every patriot
does his duty. Let us do ours.

part of your letter which gives advice
which, If followed, would surely help the
