Now turn to the World Almanac
and you will see the Director Of The
mint gives lie production Of gold in
this country at from $50. 500, 900 in 1890
to $50, 500 900 in 1894, ana that about
SS,473, 600 were used in tile arts in this
country in 1895. Circular No. 1928
shows that s364,00o,00o Of gold were
exported in the past four years. The
Philadelphia Record, q good gold trust
authorit lily, on July ID, states that The
stock Of gold in N. 4 Bauks and U. s.
Treasury had decreased from 1888 AGO.
600 in 1890 to S21s. 100000 May 81,
1896, while the stock Of gold in Eu.
ropean countries had Increased from
S760. 400, 900 in 1890 to Sl.555, 600. 000.
The conclusion must be drawn that
this coinage Of gold is made from the
stock Of bullion deposited against which
gold certificates have been issued, for
the coinage has been much larger than
the yearly yield, less that used in The
arts. and thus large coinage the last
three years has been made TO deceive
the people against the contraction caus.
ed by large exports, and the coinage
has given little Or nothing to The in
crease of The currency as the Monitors
Register paragraph would lead the read
er to believe. Few are aware that the
exported gold is coin which Is money
while the Treasury holds the bullion in
preference.
Further contraction was made by the
redemption Of S262, 100000 Of y. S.
notes and Sherman treasury notes for
| gold and then locking Them up as the
bankers have not gotten a law 10 burn
them up as they wish to and as they
did 81, 200, 900 previous Il The green
back movement stopping them. On
July 18th, the treasury had u net bal
ance, OF 500, 900, 600, about tile amount
of bonds sold TO the bankers to continue
their issue OK bank notes. This re.
demptios business is only a jew trick
of the b5ukers to get bonds Ia time Of
peace to continue their issuing notes.

To Grind Labor and Make A
Money ArisfOcracy.

Congress soon assemblies. Bills may
there lie introduced to the described
end. Altogether, in all likelihood, such
bills will receive a wider hearing than
at any previous time. Which may soon
convince all these trusts that they might
have acted with more wisdom in their
own behalf had they been less jealous
In subscribing their money to further
Cypress the people.
Sad to say, there is yet q worse view
to this whole business. 1t is being said
in Wall street, and with no painstakiDg
secrecy, that a fight has begun between
the trust and money-lending interests
the latter being trusts more especial
ly than some Others so named-on the
n side, and the great plain people on
the other, with the intent upon the part
of the trusts TO down labor, to subdue
its aspirations, to stop its assumed
rights Of asserting itself in questions of
business, legislation, OF money control,
and to put our workers on the plane OF
European workers, like the lord and
the peasant,
In other words, to establish a wide
breach between the worker and. more
particularly, the money lending capital
list. That the end sought Is the estab.
liphmsnt of a United States nobility or
s~ristocracy to control prices and legis.
latiop of all kinds. and by means Of
povertv ;ndnced conditions force o,,r
workers to kneel with bated breath

There is 10 mistakipg the bitterness
the silver democrats feel towards Presi-
dent Cleveland; they speak it right out,
and charge him with destroying the
party. The bitterness extends to the
gold democratic Senators. Senator
Morgan, of Ala, when asked whether
the gold democratic Senators would be
invited to take part in democratic eau
euses when the Senate meets, replied
promptly and decidedly: "No; not at
least without repentance, and neither
of them has shown evidences of that.
These gentlemen will not wish to as
sociate with men whom they have de-
nOunced as anarchists, traitors and dis
honest people," The proposition to
oppose every nomination sent to the
Senate by President Cleveland is being
seriously considered by silver Senators
and will, it is said, be discussed in eau
Gus, and it may be adopted, too, as all
of MI. Cleyeland's nominations will be
gold democrats and the average silver
democrat would much rather ses the
places 60 to gold republicans than ito
gold democrats.

Ascending Prices For singers.

The gradual rise In the payments made
to singers has more than kept pace with
the prices paid to composers A look
through the treasurer's accounts of the'old
Sacred Harmonic society would confirm
this statement in "A very certain and inter
esting way. For example, at tho Christ
mas performance of 1.-The Messiah" in De-
cember, 1858, Miss Birch was paid guip-
cas-; Nine Sainton- Dolby, 8 guineas; Mr..
and Mrs. Jockey together, 10 guineas, and
Mr.. Weiss, the composer of 1.-The Village
Blacksmith" guineas. At the perform
ance Of Israel In Egypt" in the Same
year Mr.. Sims Reeves took 10 guineas;
Carl Formes, 10 guineas, and Mime. Sain-
ton Dolby guinoas. Nine years after
ward, in December, 1869, for singing 1.-The
Messiah" Mime. Rudersdorff was paid 10
guineas; Mr. Henry Haigh, 8 guineas,
while Mime. Sainton Dolby's terms had
risen to 10 guinoas.
1t need hardly bo said that concert vocal
lists now in full demand would laugh at
such fees. Some years ago, when Mr.. Toole
was returning thanks to an audience In
the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, he referred
to the circumstance that ho and Sims
Reeves and Henry Irving had all at an
early stage of their careers sought profess
sionsl honors in the Scottish capital. The
salaries of the three friends, according 10
Mr.. Toolo, were then: The singer, 3Os. /;
the comedian, 40s.; tho tragedian, Dos.

Toole, I'VE get more now. "--Chambers'

to every good citizen. The boys have
the benefit OF military drill with its added
manliness, and pledge themselves to alb
stain from smoking, drinking and pro-
fame language while members OF the bri-
gade. The guild solicited from Others as
well as their own members, not only be-
cause such provisioning taxed their own
resources but because they knew all
would be glad to contribute, the affair
being OF such interest to the townspeople.
Even then, many were not asked to give,
as sufficient quantity was secured be-
fore reaching their names. A most un-
fortunate impression has somehow got
about that this was a money-making en-
tertainment OF the guild. II this had
been the case, they would not have felt at
liberty to solicit so generally from out
siders. The guild had no reward beyond
the pleasure OF helping give these boys a
happy day, and only wish they could az
ford to entertain the boys often. Four
dollars was handed in to be used toward
expenses. Oi.this 81 was paid out for
service, and the other 81 will be put into
the fund for providing muskets and uni
forms for the Boys Brigade.

was not His intention 10 take them out
Of the world, and so long AS they were
in the world they were to have tribula-
ton. IL is the same today. Christianity
does not remove us from sorrow or sor-
row from rs, but its mission in the
world is to make it possible for men to
be joyous. happy and cheerful amid the
most sad aud perplexing difficulties of
life.
The Christian has reasons for being
Of good cheer amid sorrows and tribu-
lations. For one reason. because they
will not last always, and will be fol-
lowed by joy. Christ said to His disci-
Piles. "Ye shall be sorrowful. but your
sorrow shall be turned into joy" "Ye
now therefore have sorrow, but will
see you again. and your hearts shall re-
joice, and your JOY no man taketh from
Won. 4" Weeping may endure for a
night, but JOY cometh in the morning.

It's troubles and its sorrows, and II we

cheer, have overcome the world.
The Christians JOY is peculiar JOY,
for the reason that il cannot be taken
away from him. If we have found
peace in Christ and JOY in the Holy
Ghost. nothing in this world can ever
deprive US of these things. How tickle
are the joys of this world. Ours one
moment, the next they may have gone
from us forever. but true Christ JOY
abides forever in this life and also in
the life to come.
Let us cultivate more and more a
spirit of Christian joy. Joy is attractive
and contagious. Our happiness will
bring sunshine into the lives Of others.
Our songs will cheer those whose spirits
may be dropping low. Therefore let us
be of good cheer. for Christ has over
come the world.
