On the Cambrian line it appears that all

that is, 97.7 per CENTS by third-class car
riages, ana on the Hull and Barnsley
actually SO per cent of the whole traffic is
third class, leaving only one in every hun
dred travellers who goes first class. In
fact the company supplies tirst-class &C
commodation by every train, and on an
average carries only one frst-class pas
senger by every other train. Clearly on
such line as that it cannot pay to have
first-class carriages at all. Yet there are
very curious varieties in the local taste for
differences of grade in various parts of the
country.
In Scotland, where there are no second
class Carriages. a great number of people
dislike travelling third. And as result
four millions in every eighty millions. or
one in every twenty passengers, travel first
class, and very often numbers of the low
est section of the trading class are found

This is the question that millions OF

take nearly two dollars to Buy as much

your rent would be nearly doubled, and
every item in the cost OF living would be
advanced in the same proportion
DO you doubt this? Reflect Il moment.
The leaders in the free-siiver movement
have ayowed that their purpose is 10
advance prices. They tell the farmer that

for his wheat and corn as he now receives.

for more of the silver dollars
which with free coinage. as We
will presently show. would be worth about
hfty-three cents each.
But they would by law be full legal ten

wages would be paid with these dollars
They are the dollars In which you wOI.d

life is insured for ten thousand dollars,

receive ten thousand OF the deprecated

the chief sufferers, because they could
