a change in the administration. The,
persist in telling their readers that re
turn OF that prosperity can be had by tb'
election Of Major Mckinley to the presi
dency. the adoption Of little higher rat
OF taxation and the maintenance OF thu
gold standard. Let US look backward
and see If we want to return to that seas

A study OF the inventions OF the last
year would lead one to hastily conclude
that the '97 bicycle will be altogether
different from the model now in use.
The patent Office employees have been
working overtime endeavoring to solve
problems sent to them in the shape OF
applications for papers on this and that
portion OF the machine. OF these thous-
and and one technicalities the rank and
file of the cycling brigade will never hear.
There are possibilities, however, that
some radical changes will be made in the
'97 wheel. Many Of the makers are
early with their announcement that their
new models are already perfected, and
that the only change is in the gear ma
chinery. They laugh at the idea that
wood may supplant steel1n the construc-
ton Of the frame, and that prices will
take serious tumble in consequence. II
/, might be mentioned here that the same
mskers laughed at the idea OF wood rims,
and yet they are in universal use. The
same was said of the hickory handle
bars, and yet they are to be met With
on every side in the east. They are pro-
nounced more durable than the steel
ones, possess y spriginess which the 9TH
ers lack. do away with the numbness 10
the arms. and, on the whole. are more
attractive than the others. In addition,
they are cheaper, and that means consid-
cradle with the average wheelman. The
chances, therefore, are that the popular
ity OF the hickory bar will Iced to its uni
versal use in another season or SO.
{ With the bars and rims OF wood, and,
In some instances, the spokes of the same
material, it is fair to presume that ex.
periments with all wood frames will fol-
low. A recent test in st. Louis between
aluminium and steel frames resulted in
favor OF the steel tubing every time. The
announcement was surprise to many,
ms the belief was current in some quar-
tiers that the new metal would ultimately
supplant steel. A test between steel and
"Voos "huct nutuai cohuitionSJ "Oulu
no doubt be of interest to riders in gen.
eral, as well as demonstrating the worth
of the latter material for general bicycle
construction.
1t is argued that wood frames would
prove too springy for the average rider,
but this could be offset by other improve
menis, still leaving a marginal re-
siliency which would prove more of an
advantage than detriment.

GOLD GOES ANYWAY.

One OF the stock arguments OF the gol
press Of the country against the free an
unrestricted coinage of silver is that
would drive gold either out OF the countr.
or out OF circulation. Possibly this nigh
be the result, says The Dalles Times
Mountaineer, but the driving out process
could scarcely be any more rapid than il
has been during the past thirty years, for
during that time we have driven both
gold and silver out of the country very
rapidly, in fact at the rate Of about s40,-
100000 year OF each metal, or about
$50, 100000 Of both.
The mint reports show that from 1860
to 1894 We produced from our mines,
81 $751;, SOC, 600 Of gold and 81 1896, zoe, 900
Of silver. 1t is generally estimated that
we have in circulation and horded in the
treasury some $3.50. 600 600 Of gold and
about 1915 ,000. 600 OF silver. total Of
81 us 900 900. Allowing that we had
$500, O00, 900 Of metallic money IN 1850,
and we really had more than that, and
that since then We have produced e ,633 :
000, 600, and nog have only 81 .225 600, :
600 Of metallic money, We have lost 49,
40s, 600 coo in thirty years.
Whether this drain has been caused by
our monetary system or whether it has
been through the balance OF trade
being against us, we leave for the gold
ties to explain, bat certain it is that the
metallic money that has been dug from
our mints has gone. and If statistics are
of any value, il has gone more rapidly
since we have been on purely gold
basis than during any other period OF oul
history. Can il go any faster IL we opef
our mints to free coinage? is the qnes
ton that confronts us. Ii seems not
II our mints are opened to silver we vii
at once begin the coinage Of that metal
and by causing an increased demand fo
that metal will increase its production
On the other hand our gold, even though
II goes to premium, will be in demand
as the basis OF commercial transactions
and since it can find profitable invest
ment here, would not necessarily be at
tracted abroad any more rapidly than
has been in the past. II Il goes into hid
ing at home 1t win cease to realize
profit to its owners. and since there is nj
hope Of its becoming more valuable wheI
another metal is allowed TO take its plac
as basic money, 1t would soon find ii
way back into the avenues OF trade

ssfinancial News', Article Genuine.
The republican papers have been max
ing great ado of late regarding the pub
lication Of an article alleged to have been
printed in the Financial Ne,es, Of Lon
don, in which it was asserted that II the
United States adopted bimetallism Eng
land would lose her trade prestige, which
would be gained by this country. The
republican newspapers called the publ
cation forgery and printed what they
claimed was letter from the editor of the
Fina',sial Nesos denying that the article
bad its origin in bis paper. The demo-
cratic national central committe, how
ever, has received from the Durant Press
Cuttings bureau, responsible London
concern. o certified copy OF the much
discussed and disputed article which ap-
peared in the Financial News under date
Of April 30, 1894. The republican press,
after charging democracy with fraud and
forgery, now refuses to give currency to
the truth regarding this matter.

says the overshadowing issue is the in
dorsement OF Cleveland's treatment OF
the Chicago rioters. Tom Reed says the
Venezuelan message did the mischief.
The people generally think the first
thing to be done is to restore silver to its
old place, and other good things will fol-
