Mr.. Sauerbeclx's standard of comparison, or
100 per cent line Is "tbe average price In Lon
don of 45 principal commodities for the period
1S67.77''-that is, for n ton year period having
1878 as its middle point.
Even the most casual examination or the
chart will reveal three facts which are exceed
ingly important in this discussion-namely:
/. That in the period extending from 1887
TO 1885, 70 years, the fall In average prices
was practically the same as that which has
taken place since 1873. And had the table ex.
tended back ten years further the former fall
would be seen to have been much the greater,
for prices ranged much higher for some years
before 1878 than In that year. glance mt the
chart will substantiate this statement, for the
price line In 1878 shows that it,marks not the
beginning of fall, but one which had been for
some time in progress.
Thus we see, Mr.. Chairman, that our recent
fall in prices IL by no means "unexampled' in
either scope or duration. IL was greatly ex-
ceeded in both respects by the fall In prices
near the beginning of the century, during the
go called ''bimotalic" period. And thus dis
appears the chief foundation OF my colleagues
entire argument and of tho whole free silver
contention.
2 Thc'chart IL equally severe on another very
touching argument of the free silverites. Sill
yer and its advocates are very sympathetic,
very anxious TO ameliorate tho sad condition
of men Silver Is claimed to be able and willing

note, Mr. Chairman, that during the long pc
riod from 1909 TO 1865. q period marked first by
q tremendous fall and then by great riso In
prices of commodities the price OF silver va
ried but slightly, Though silver advocates fire.

Once More.

Some Lowestoft fishermen related
a remarkable tale of having seen
sea serpent off the coast. The mons
ter, it was said, was observed few
miles off, and all who sighted it
agree in their description OF IT.,
They are positive they labored un-
der no optical illusion. The closest
view was obtained from the lugger
Conquest, belonging to Banff. While
all the crew OF eight men were on
the deck, shortly after six o'clock,
they heard on their lee quarter a
loud noise, resembling big steamer
cutting her way through the water,
Looking in that direction they saw
huge serpent" only twenty yards
distant. They state that the mons
ter was fully three hundred feet
long, and moved along at about
eight miles an hour. 1t resembled
three enormous balf-circles in line,
each being fifty feet long and ten
feet high. Still making the same
noise, it passed close under the
boats stern. All the men watched
it, and it was in sight for fully a
quarter OF an hour. They describe
it as like a fishing boat turned up
side down, and equally as large in
girth.-London Standard.

chanic named Schneider, and the
ladies waxed so enthusiastic over
his speech, that several who had
mounted chairs and tables over
balanced. "Of course, you know"
began Schneider, 81 am going to
speak of my favorites." Here he was
interrupted by mighty, deafening
shout from the 5000 female throats.
-"The Jewsw And so the meeting
proceeded. After each of the speak
er's sentences the cry, "The jews"
went forth from the excited femi-
nine audience. In the course of his
speech Schneider declared that the
Vienna Jew was cultured creature
compared with the Galician Jew,
on whom potatoes would grow il
they were sown at the right time.

There are said to be over 400
pianos in Durango, Mexico, that
were carried upon the shoulders OF
poems more than 200 miles before
the railway came this way. There
were no cart roads, and burros,
mules, and men furnished all the
transportation. A gang of sixteen
men, working eight at a time, and
relieving each other at frequent in
tervals, can carry piano a long
way if they keep at it long enough
and have their load rugged so they
can get under it. The heavy
machinery in the mines around Du-
range was all brought in the same
way. The cost of transporting a

A former resident at Long Sutton,
Lincolnshire, England, has died in
Wyoming, U. S. A., aged 100. He
was born at Long Sutton on April 8,

seems to'favor longevity, for there
