Fame is the inheritance not of the
dead, but of the living. 1t is we who
look back with lofty pride to the great
names of antiquity, who drink of that
food of glory as of a river, and refresh
our wings in it for future flight.

AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.
Business Paralyzed by Free Coinage
Agitation.

The Wooden and Willow Ware Trade
Review of April 10 offers the following
explanation for the cause of the pres.
ent unsatisfactory business conditions:
All business is done by the medium
of the existing measure of value. If
there are any doubts about the future
of that measure, gradually
approaches a standstill. When the
Sherman silver law was repealed, con.
fidence in the future began to return,
and it was expected that steps would
he taken to remedy the evils of the
currency system under which the bust
ness of the country has been operating.
Stimulated by this view, some business
men launched new enterprises and
started up old ones. There was an APP
pearance of revival in business a year
ago.
When, however, il was found that
there was a small band of men, whose
whole future was based upon securing
the free coinage of silver by the U. S.
minis, in a position to block every
move made to insure the continuance
of honest money in this country, COM
mercial people become nervous again.
They commenced to prepare for finan-
cial trouble, which they thought might
come. This preparation involved the
withdrawal of loans, the curtailment
of manufacturing the abandonment of
new projects and the gathering of re-
serves. Thus manufacturing and trad
ing have for some months been suffer
ing from gradual paralysis.
These conditions should convince
every business man of the paramount
importance of having the so called cur
reucy question settled. Just now one
of the most profitable things a business
man can do is to use his influence and
spare time in working toward currency
reform and impressing upon the politi
clans the fact hat the business inter
ests of the country require SOUND
money. Our national politicians who
are now setting up the pins for q Presi
. dental election should take warning
: No candidate who is not in favor o.
i, the gold standard ought to be elected
President this year. Efforts should b,
! made to prevent any man not sincerel,
i and earnestly in favor of it from beinl
a candidate upon either the Demo
. cractic or Republican ticket.

General Harrison on Our Finances

x-President Harrison will discuss
our national finances in an article on
1.-THE Secretary of the Treasury
which will appear in the August issue
of The Ladies' Home Journal. He will
tell briefly of the origin of our financial
system; its expansion or development;
how the nation raises its revenues, and
disburses its moneys; and detail the
faults of our system of financiering.
Referring to the methods, necessary to
maintain u gold reserve General
Harrison expresses himself with evil
dent disapproval, and says that 'the
present situation would be absurd if it
were not 80 serious" The increase or
the diminution of the gold reserve, the
ex. President asserts, powerfully affects
every interest, and the Intending of
existing conditions will be a task for
the wisest and strongest statesman
ship"
The ex-President clearly intimates
that successful tinanciering is extreme
ly difficult by the present methods.
Upon this point hs says: IF fifty dol
lars would suffice to hold $50, O0O, 900 in
the Treasury the Secretary could not
expend that small sum. He must stand
by until the gold is gone, and then sell
bonds to get it back. The result is that
the banks and the brokers are often
able to make play of The Treasury. A
financial institution whose board trans
acts its business in public is u disad.

Same experts-a few-have agreed
that John Ernest Worrall Keely has
actually made one of the greatest ad-
vances this century of progress has
witnessed in physics. The great ma
iority of them say Keely and his mo-
tor are humbugs. In fact, the greatest
difficulty this gnarled and ungainly OLE
man had to contend with is the disin-
clination of scientific men of high re-
mite to have it even known that they

II have come to stay to tea, providing
you will let me, auntie, dear. Mabel
has gone over to Brookline to see her
mother and left me to get along the
best can until she returns. VIII you
take pity on poor, forlorn wretch and
give him something to eat?"
This great, handsome nephew OF Het-
ty Plumleigh looked anything but q
''poor, forlorn wretch" as he dropped
onto coy sofa in Aunt Hetty's dainty
little sitting-room and laughingly
snatched the bit of sewing from her
hands.
my dear Roland, you know it will
give me great pleasure to have you
stay to tea with me-" and the fond look
ON her kind face certainly demonstrated
the truthfulness of her words.
Roland Mclaughlin was as dear to
the heart of this kind old maid as an
own son could have been, and she pet
ted and fused over him and his SIX
months bride enough to have spoiled
ordinary mortals Roland's father and
mother (Hetty's sister, had both died
when he was yet little child. and
since that time he had lived with his
grandfather, Nathan Plumleigh. His
grandmother being dead, he had never
known any mother love except that be-
slowed upon him by his devoted Aunt
Hetty. He adored her and when he
married begged her to let the old home
and live with him and his winsome
wife, Mabel, at the pretty little parson-
age recently built
Well might Hetty Plumleigh be proud
of her boy, who had grown to manhood
and adopted the ministry as his lifes
work cher secret hope and prayer.
When he married she rejoiced with
him and took Mabel to her heart at
once, instantly winning the young
wife's affection. The little home seemed
terribly lonely when Roland left. She
was alone, her father having died sew
eral years before Roland's marriage.
But no amount of coaXing could induce
her to give up her old home. 1t pleased
her greatly when the busy young cler-
gyman could get time from his many
and varied duties to visit her, and on
this particular sunny afternoon she
looked exceedingly young and smiling.
With happy little laugh she willingly
laid aside her sewing and gave herself
up to the enjoyment of good long chat
with this beloved nephew of hers. She
was quite content to sit and listen to his
avalanche of talk, nonsensical and seri-
Gus, innocent flattery about her youth
full looks, etc.

Hetty, who was noted for her kind
heart and many noble acts of charity
at once became interested and replied
eyes, / believe there are some of your
old clothes stored in the attic, Roland
Shall we go and look at them before we
have tea?"
They at once repaired to the attic,
where Hetty began rummaging about
in an old trunk, sorting out the gar
ments she thought would suit the pur-
pose best.
"Ah, Rolapd, l guess we will never
forget the last time this little jacket
was worm" she said, tenderly smooth
ing out the wrinkles caused by being
folded so many years. Il could not

again, when from one of the pockets a
letter fell to the floor. Roland picked it
I'D and scanned the address.
"Why, Aunt Hetty, it is addressed to

She glanced at the writing and with a
stiAed cry and pale face hastily broke
the seal. Roland watched her as she
read the brief letter, while her breath
came in quick gasps and her face be-
came CHASTITY white.

cried.
But he was only in time to catch het
in his arms as she fell forward.
Hetty Plumleigh had tainted for the
first time in her life.
He quickly carried her below and APP
piled restoratives. She soon regained
consciousness and answered Rolands
anxious questionings by bidding him
fetch and read the letter, which she
had dropped when she tainted. He
quickly obeyed, and, seating himself be-
stde Hetty, read with very grave face
