might quote all the economic writ
ers, from Adam Smith down, to the
effect that the volume of money is the
main factor in fixing the general price
level. You will find the doctrine ably
set forth in the works Of Adam Smith,
John Locke. David Hume, John Stuart
Mill, David Ricardo, William Stanley
Jevons and by all the French and Ameri-
can economists. The appalling effects of
long continued contraction and the al
most marvellous benefits resulting from
a liberal increase in the coin supply are
thus beautifully set forth by Sir Archi-
bald Alison in his history of Europe:

mates that the value of gold fell between
1880 and 1909 46 per cent, and from
1909 to 1S49 it rose 145 per cent"

HOW WEYLER WILL BEGIN
by Concentrating His Forces and Keeping
Out of POLITICS.

! Havana. Feb. 10.-General Weyler will
! do everything possible to muster as
strong a force of cavalry as he can.
Considerable reinforcements of this
branch Of the service have already ar
rived here and more are expected dur
ing the week.
Regarding his political standing. Cen
eral Weyler will be entirely nOn-partis-
an, while willing 10 listen TO suggestions
and advice from all parties In short.
his first efforts will be directed TO con-
centrating his forces and restoring pub
lie confidence.
Later he will try to engage the In
surSents, who are understood to be
concentrating their forces in anticipa-
ton OF having much more difficult
task before them than they have had I'D
TO the present. In fact. some reports
credit the insurgents with desiring to
concentrate all their scattered detach-
mentS and columns into one body and
so bring the instruction TO a direct is
sue. If so, there seems little doubt that
the Spanish generals viii not put any
obstacle in the way of the tnsurgent
commanders. But Spaniards here who
are well posted on the situation viii
make any effort TO risk a pitched bat
tie.
II is obvious that General Weyler's
presence has produced a magnificent
effect, due not only 70 his presence. but
TO his talks and proclsnations and il
Is the general opinion that tie s-'rit
Of the Spa So -Aizers has been

too small for some time, and so last
summer spacious and permanent au-
ditorium, circular in form, with a di-
ameter of 110 feet, and a seating ca
pacity of 1900 was erected for the Mes
siah concerts, other great musical fes-
uvals, bazaars, mass meetings and pa

Dr. SwenssOn resolved TO ask Mr Mol
Ter TO donate handsome organ for
this auditorium. Mr.. MOIler at once
saw the advantage of having one of
his best organs in the largest conserv-
atory of music in the west, and of
having his advertisements in every
catalogue, college paper, circular and
program Of Lindsborg's great college.
The arrangements now completed, are
as follows: OF the $1,000 Mr. AIoller
donates $2,700, Internationally. $4,000
conditionally part of the condition al
ready being fulfilled by the college,
and DR.. Swanson pays $500 for freight
and for the putting up of the organ, on
the acceptance Of the same by the pro-
per authorities. In brief, Bethany col
lege receives the largest and most pow
erful pipe organ in the state for the cost
Of freight and putting up. The organ
will have a front of "a feet, and three
manuals. II will be dedicated Good
