A LESSON FROM EGYPT.

That Country Failed TO Maintain the Rncie
of Sixteen Onions to One Cat.
The ancient Egyptians had a cur
rency based on cats and onions, both Of
which were sacred objects worshiped
by the people. As there was some diff
fculty in storing the cats, and as the
onion was liable to decay, circulating
medium was provided Of papyrus
strips, representing certain number
of cats and onions at ratio of six
teen to one. This was true double
standard system and is believed to have
been the origin OF modern paper cur
rency. For time the cat-onion money
circulated at par, but the historian
Faque Hur records that about 963 B. c.
serious difficulty arose. New col
onies had been established in the re-
gion of the upper Nile, and the savage
Nubians had been taught the art of
agriculture. The rich, black soil OF
the valley which they inhabited was
especially suited to the growth OF
onions, ard the production of those
perfumed bulbs was soon enormously

silver reduction ana Prices.

In 1873 the total worlds production
of silver was 61,100,000 ounces, and
the silver in dollar was worth S1.04 in
gold. Last year the worlds product of
silver was 10000, 900 ounces and the sill
yer in dollar was worth only so 7-1O
cents. Will the silver miners restore
the production of 1873 as the first step
toward restoring the conditions?"

increased. Meanwhile the cat crop
had only grown in the usual ratio, and
the result was that, with the demand
for sacred animals in the new colonies,
Mt least 30 onions would be given for
one cat. This brought the papyrus
currency into disfavor, and the ruling
: pharaoh,r Ram Bunkshus Ill, issued a
royal order that cats should be the
sole standard of value, and that onions
should be issued only to the extent that
they could be kept at par with the
''caterwaulers," as the unit of value
was termed.
This did not suit the onion growers,
who at once started an agitation for
the free and unlimited coinage of all
onions at the good old ratio Of their
daddies. After passing 3,1s7,642 reso-
buttons denouncing the horrible crime
OF 963 the onionites marched in body
to the palace of their pharaoh and de-
manded that the unjust law enacted
at the instance of the catbugs should
be repealed and the bicatallic standard
restored. Ram Bunkshus listened to
them patiently and answered: "Great,
no doubt, was the wisdom Of our an
cestors. But am in the wisdom bust
ness myself to some extent. When the
ratio of sixteen to one vas adopted.
that was the true ratio of the cat and
onions. Now, owing to a great in
crease in the quantity of onions, the
ratio is thirty to one. All powerful as
] am, cannot make onions worth more
than their market value. The present
STANDARD stays. As for You, o foolish
onionites, your leaders shah feed the
sacred crocodiles. The rest of you
will return to your farms and hustle.
Il have remarked"
Thus ended the first and only cur
rency agitation in Egypt.-Whidden

The September Atlantic.

Tho Atlantic for September con-
tains two articles that have time
ly bearing on the political situat-
Ion. In "Problem OF the West"
Professor Frederick J. Turner, Of
the University Of Wisconsin, traces
the growth of Western character.
istics and opinion historically and
logically. II there is a sharp sect
ional feeling, he shows that it is
not q feeling ss between two peo-
pies, but only AS between two neigh
bsrhoods. The man Of the Middle
Wes' is the ype Of the true Amer
lean citizens. This very thought
full and practical article is followed
by the historian John B. McMas-
tsr's on "The Election of the Presi-
dent.n
There are two articles suggestive
OF the most startling chapter per-
haps in human history-the story
of the unparalleled success and ef-
feet Of Uncle Toms Cabin, told by
Charles Dudley Warner, immediat-
ely followed by an article on "The
Awakening OF the Negro" by
Booker 7. Washington, who ex-
plains the revolutionary work done
at Tuskegee, Alabama. He shows,
too, how the Tuskegee method of
teaching thrift strikes at the very
root of oil the misfortunes of the
South, and has in it the seeds Of the
of a revolution for whites as we'll as
blacks.

sists of the first third of Mrs. Kate

our living writer's; the second in
stallment of Mrs. Catherwood's
"The Spirit Of an Illinois Town" full
fills the promise of its opening
chapters and takes the reader into
the midst of vivid frontier with its
quaint characters and unusual sit
uations. Sarah Orne Jewett, who
is undoubtedly the most successful
portrayer of New England life, con-
tributes further chapters of "The
Country of the Pointed FRS" The
delightful sketches which have
appeared under this title from time
to time, while not constituting a
connected story, have dealt with
characters and scenes familiar to
Mrs. Jewett's readers, and in them
the author hrs been seen at her
best. The conclusion of "Athe.
maise," Mrs. Chopin's delightful
story Of Creole life, together with
the last installment but one of Hen.
ry James powerful novel, "The
Old Things" complete the fiction.

How about the cheap money period
from 1861 TO 1873? Did not speculation
of all kinds flourish then, and were not
the gamblers in bonds, stocks OF farm
products greatly aided by the deprec:-
ated and fiuctuating currency?

Government Ownership of silver Mines.

Why is it that both the populists and
the democrats failed to put a plank in
their platforms demanding that the
government own and control the silver
mines of this country, so that the profit
which would be made from free coin
age would go to our government, and
thus indirectly be benefit to the whole
people? Why should this profit go to
few individuals who own the silver
mines and who are already enormously
rich? Is not this building up one of the
most. dangerous trusts that the country
has even seen? Think of few men hav-
ling under their control all the silver of
this country and the government COM
PEELED to turn ii into dollars as fast as
they produce it! Suppose that these sill
'ver men combine to shut down work on
their mines when they want to produce
"a stringency in the money market, then
open them again when they want to
make money abundant. Would not this
put the whole business of the countryat
their mercy?
