Men who refuse to follow the Democrat

on the currency question can find
reasonable standing room upon the Re-

The Difference.

The Democratic party is the only party
that wants to change the money Of the
United States.
The Republican party has proposed no
change. It wants to maintain the pres.
ent system Of currency, leaving every
dollar just as good as every other dollar.
It favors larger use of silver in the
coinage Of the country as soon as an in
ternational agreement as to the ratio be.
tween gold and silver can be reached.
but under such an agreement there
would be no change in the purchasing
or debt paying value Of the dollars.
Every one would still be worth 100 cents,
and all would be equal.
The Democratio- Populistio plan does
not contemplate anything Of the kind.
It is proposition which, If adopted.
would drive gold out Of circulation and
leave nothing but 50-cent silver dollars
with which to do the business of the
country y.-Cleveland Leader.

Some Facts About Money.

!. Money as q standard Of value 10 an
international. and not local or merely
national, factor.
2. Cheap money will always drive
good money out Of circulation, and thus
contract the currency.
8. A fixed standard is required to
measure value.
4. Gold money is of automatic issue.
No one determines the limit of issue.
s. Fiat money is simply forced loan.
It is government money, and Its value
is alone determined by the proportion
of its volume to the credit Of the issuing
government.
6. The words '.cheap" and "dear"
mean nothing without standard Of
comparison.
2. Panics are caused by the overval-
uation of property and commodities
and by general extravaganza, and not
by the 90. called variation in supply Of
money. In 1893 and 1894 money was
more plentiful than ever before. In
1878 the net deposits in our national
banks were $67S, 400. 900; in 1894 they
were $2,9l9, 100000 The deposits in
the savings institutions of the country
in 1888 were 81 ,O24, ,s56, 1877 /; in 1894 they
were about $4,000, ,0O0,0 FE
8. Business determines how much
money country needs. What we now
need is an increase in the volume Of
business and not in the volume OF
money.-New York Mail and Express.

dispatched to the next stopping place.

ment, but he little thought of the trick it
was about to play. Standing just around
the corner of the road was police con-
stable, sheltering from the wind, and
quite unconscious of the approach of the
elephant, whose tread gave forth no
sound. AS the animal reached the cor
ner he put mis- trunk around, and just
touched the constable's arm. The latter
turned to see what It was, and OH see
ing the elephant was seized with alarm,
and took to his heels along the road, closely
pursued by his tormentor.
The keeper tried to call the animal
back, but 1t was Of no avail, for the
retreating figure of the constable occ,i-
pied the sole attention of the elephant,
who kept up the pursuit until the Off
Ger darted into garden, and closed the

MYSTERIES OF ANTIQUITY.
Mrs. George COffin's Lecture before
the TheOsOphical Society.

"The Mysteries of Antiquity was the
subject OF q lecture delivered yesterday
morning by Mrs. George NJ. Coffin at the
rooms OF the Theosophical Society, Len
man building.
There is abundant historical evidence.
said Mrs. Coffin, that in all ages and
races the mysteries of life and death,
and Of the human soul, have been known
10 members of the human race and nave
been preserved by them when all external
records have been destroyed. she cteu
various authorities to show that the Hlys-
teries had been taught in old Egypt up
10 the time OF Cambyses, tine rersi@ii kihE,
who in 525 b. G: conquered Egypt, de-
stroying its temples and libraries anu
driving out its priests and initiates, who
probably took refuge in Greece, where they
continued to study and to teach the great
truths of life.
At Eleusis, in Greece, few miles from
Athens, the great E..usinian mysteries
were regularly taught and celebrated with
all the magnificent dramatic effect which
could be attained with the aid OF paint
ing, sculpture and music. These eXhibi-
tions were great schools for the education
of the masses, for attendance was conf
pusoIy on all except criminals and slaves,
and tie whole effect was ennohiing and
uplifting, for they were schools for the
study of mans soul.
Mrs. Coffin read quotations from the
early Christian fathers 10 show that all
the rites and sacranen,s or baptism, Com
munion, etc, had their origin in the So
called pagan mysteries and that the
members of the early Christian Church
were divided into the "Catechunens,
who we're students Of the lesser or eN-
oteric mysteries, and the faithful ar
elect, who were the initiates into the
greater or esoteric teachings. st. Paul was
doubtless an initiate, as were Plato, Pyth't-
gords, Plotinus, 'orpnyry ana ianiDlichus
before and after his time.
1t is recorded of the Roman emperor
Constantine. who convened the first great
Christian council at Nice, 325 \. D.,
which adopted the Nicene creed, that
having applied for admission as student
of the pagan mysteries he was de-
MED this because he was murderer an,i
had committed other atrocious crimes.
Thereupon he embraced Christianity, not
only for political reasons, but because in
that church he could procure absolution
of his many sins through baptism.
There can be no question, said Mrs.
Coffin, that ancient America had its
initiates and mysteries in Mexico, Peru
and other places, and it was in America,
and probably near the site of some ancient
school, that the Theosophical Society would
in few months found college for the
restoration of the lost mysteries of an
tiullity
