OUT OF WORK,
OR OUT OF MONEY /:
WHICH?

There are three millions OF people
out of work" Familiar statement,
isn't it? Did you ever think what it
means or why they are ''out of work ,"
Let us look at the other side. These
people are ready and willing to
work and if employed would produce
something. There are plenty of people
needing houses, miles Of railroad are
to be built or repaired, thousands of
acres OF land to be irrigated, streets to
be paved, ships to be built, bridges to
be constructed.
Why don't somebody employ them?
There appears to be plenty of work for
them. The real reason why they are
idle is, that fifty millions of other peo-
pie are out of money. They are as
anxious to have this work done as the
Others are to do it, but the lack of
money prevents.
"Just as much money as there ever
was" did you say: Perhaps there is,
perhaps not. The fact is, there never
was enough There is not enough
now. Besides this, there is not as
much sham money in form of bank
and other credits as there was Il few
years ago. When these were used, to
certain degree they took the place OF
money.
The banks contracted their credits,
refused to extend loans or make new
ones This contraction of credits
brought ON the panic. The savings
banks have S1,700.000 ON deposit"
did you say? You mean they owe
their depositors that much, don't you
Did you ever think about this ? The
L. S. treasury officials say there is only
81 600. 600 of currency in circulation.
How are the savings banks going to
pay their depositors Z? They. alone,
owe a hundred millions more than
there is in circulation, to say nothing
of the national and other banks. Don't
YOU think this statement about there
being money enough is tritle over
drawn! Only part OF this amount
of currency is money; only part OF
ii can be used To pay debts if your
creditor chooses to demand legal tender
money.
Now wouldn't il be wise TO increase
the amount of unlimited legal tender
money so that not onl Y can you obtain
it with less sacrifice of your labor or
products, but these deposltors become
more sure Of getting the money due
them from the savings and other banks?
This is the purpose of those who favor
the reconciliation OF silver. Think il
over and see ii there is anything selfish
or wrong about it. Sce II you will not
be more benefited than harmed See
il these fifty millions without money
and these three millions without work
will not all be benefited

FATE OF A NEW WOMAN.
Justice Harlan of the United states
Supreme Court Will ofacially De-

ALFMHE 81 -A.
Washington. May 25.-Justice Harlan
holds the fate of h new woman to
some extent in his hands. As he is
principally known to fame as a Judge
who has passed upon the rights of new
citizens, mainly the enfranchised negro,
and passed favorably upon their ac-
luirement of civil rights, 1.-The new wo-
mans case is not hopeless.
Miss Nellie Robinson, who is a lawyer
In Cincinnati. n who has practiced
before the Ohio courto, made an argu-
ment before Justice Harlan, in cham
bers, urging that she be granted an APP
pointnlent as notary public. She made
her original application for this appoint
ment TO Governor Mckinley, but the
Ohio statesman hesitated to take
so unprecedented a step, and
directed her to apply to the
courts, the supreme court of the state.
for a writ of mandamus to compel the
appointment. She made an exhaustive
Portia-like argument before the supreme
court of Ohio, but that august body
handed down a decision denying the
writ. Miss Robinson has now come to
preme court a writ of error against the
supreme court of Ohio, commanding the
Issuance OF a writ of mandamus against
Governor Bushnell to compel the APP
pointment. Justice Harlan took the
matter under consideration, and will
render an opinion in a few days. Mean
time, the new woman will hold her
breath.

cHlNA'S TRADE NOT INJURED
The War With Japan Did Not
Hurt Commerce.
Said % BE a Fact That the Business
OF the Celestial Country Ac-
tuaily Expanded During
the Trouble.

Washington. May 25.-United States
Minister DENLY at Pekin. in reporting
upon the trade of China for 1895, directs
to the fact that the late war
with Japan failed to injure China's
trade with the world at large and that
trade really expanded during the year.
Notwithstanding the loss OF Formosa
and the closing of the new Chang GUS
Tom house for several months. With
the United States the trade was less
than for 1894, but 1t was greater than
for n other year in the preceding
eight years. The exports to the United
States in 1896 We're SIS. 3s3.40 and i'm
ports from the United States 5000, 1872.
So, 000, 600 being in kerosene. The Imports
of Russian oil exceeded those from the
United States for the first time, proba-
bly, owing to the heavy imports of Amer
lear oil in the preceding year, which
left a large stock held over.
In the matter of International devel-
opment there has been no want of prog,
ress. although the expectations of for,
eigners hat the old Chinese conserva-
tism would be broken down as the re,
suit of the war was not completely real
lied. Nh Chinese are endeavoring to
control their own railroads by allowing
only Chinese nom to be used in their
construction, but this policy must in the
end, and wherever long lines of O are
concerned, give way to foreign syndi-
cate operations Meanwhile many
agents of American %financiers and
builders Of railroads and rolling stock
are now in China, waiting for the IN
nOuncement of definite plans by the i'm.
perial government, and al least two
great American combinations stand
ready to build and equip any railroad
system China may desire.
While much may be done toward intro
ducing American ships, armor and guns in
China, If manufacturers will keep agents
there steadily. mr.. DENLY does not recon-
mend the present investment of American
capital In the establishment of factories in
China, at least until such time as a settle
ment shall be reached of the grave ques-
tion Of the exemption OF such foreign
owned factories from taxation.

Had a Bad Record.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 25.-Fur-
Their developments in the Scandinavian
church tragedy in this city lead to the
belief that the Rev. Francis Hermann is
a maj with a record of crime little less
than that of the notorious Holmes. His
flrst wife died in England under suspl-
cious circumstances He was pastor Of
a Scandinavian church at West Super
Tor. Wis, in 1890 and 1891, and there
married a highly respectable lady. who
in less than a year died very suddenly
with her 2 weeks old baby. An inquest
was held. but nothing beyond a suspl-
cion Of foul play was ELECTED. Hermann
soon married again and came to Salt
Lake City 1894 with his wife. Before
long a baby vas born and the mother
and child died suddenly a few weeks
after. He waa suspended by the church
here for embezzlement.

STORM STRIKES CHICAGO.
Over an Inch of Water Fell In Ten
Minutes.

Chicago, May PA storm OF wind,
rain, thunder and lightning struck Chi
cago at 2 o'clock this morning. The
wine at times attained the velocity Of
a hurricane, and the lightning was In
cessant. Over an inch of water fell in
less thar ten minutes, which amounted
to q cloudburst. The sewers were I'M
able to carry off the water, and as q re-
suit. Easements all over the city were
Hooded. The press rooms of three
morning papers We're flooded by water
backing up from the sewers. and fire en-
gincs had to be called to pump the
water before the second editions could
be sent to press. Much minor damage
from wind and lightning is reported
from all owe h city. but no fatalities
resulted so far as heard of.
The storm extended south of Chicago
into VIII and Kankakee counties, and
all telegraph wires are down In the vi
entity of Joliet and kankakee, cutting
off communication with the central part
of the state. 1t Is not unlikely that re-
ports OF serious damage will he received
from that section when the wires get to
working again.
On he lake the storm raised a ire
mendous sea, bu as the direction of the
wine was generally from the west, no
vessels were reported in trouble on this
side OF the lake.
There Is every probability, however,
that wrecks will be heard of on the east
ern shore. The Weather this morning
continues threatening and more rain
and wind is probable.
While the storm was at Its height at
2:16 o'clock this morning, the one story
and a half frame cottage at 3140 North
Ashland avenue occupied by James
Densler. his wife and three children,
was lifted from Its foundation by the
wind, carried to an adjoining lot, thrown
upon Its side and crushed like a house
of cards. All the inmates We're caught
in the debris. but only Mrs. Densler was
hurt and she not seriously.
The work of the storm in the suburb
an towns was disastrous. Edison park,
Norwood Park. and Ravenswood came
in for the greatest damage.
Several people We're hurt, SOM seri-
ously, and nearly a score OF buildings,
two of them churches. were damaged.
AT Ravenswood this morning. there was
hardly an ornamental shade tree in
tact and numerous weak structures
were wrecked
At Ravenswoood, McDonald's circus
was tented when the cyclone came
along and ripped the canvas from the
stakes. snapped the guy ropes and up
set the animal cages. An elephant got
loose but was captured half an hour
later. At Summerdale, one house was
blown down, resulting in serious in
juries to who occupied It.
The injured so far reported are:
Miss Reifensfall, slight bruises.
Peter Fox, wife and child, seriously
bruised.
Mrs. Albert Sweetzer, arm broken and
internally hurt.
Mrs. James Hutchinson, badly bruis-
ed.
