quired strength as II went and carried
with 1t peoples, parliaments and gov
| ernments. 1t has grown in England, in
Belgium, in Germany and in America,
There was but an electric spark want
ing in order that this movement might
become universal and might extend
They could remain assured that that
spark would come-he knew not when
nor how-but it would come in obedi-
ence to the force of circumstances and
because when a question was right 1t
was sure to work out its solution" This
opinion has been expressed in other
words by scores upon scores of Europe's
foremost statesmen, and is really the
dominant prophecy in contemporary
European politics.
The significance of all this to Ameri-
cans at this time consists of the fact
that false step by this country might
sacrifice the whole prospect of interna-
tional action. 1t is no longer denied in
any quarter that the attempt by this
nation to solve the silver problem indie
pendently would throw us upon the sill
yer basis. drive our gold over to Europe,
thus easing Europe's strain, and destroy
perhaps for generations the conditions
that are now making for international
concurrence in silver's restoration. Such
result would be only of temporary
benefit to the American silver product:
soon the international level of silver's
decline would prevail in this country
also; we should have lost our gold only
to find in its stead a metal daily becom-
ing of lower value and decreased use
fulness in the making of international
exchange; and the necessity would con-
front us either to live in total CONNER
cial isolation with no foreign trade save
in the matter of Indispensable imports.
OF to attempt at enormous cost to get
back to the gold standard.
In other words, bimetallists in this
country are asked to choose between
the advice of men like Mckinley, Harri-
son, Reed, Allison, Cullom and Sher-
man--statesmen of demonstrated wis
dom and varied eXperience-on the one
hand, and that of men like Tilman. Alt
geld, Waite, Coxey, Watson and Bryan
on the other. Can any thoughtful voter
hesitate over such a choice?

Actual
Gold
Value

In these countries the wages of labor
are paid in silver. If those wages were
double those paid in gold-standard
countries, there might be some point to
the demand of the supporters of Mr..
Bryan for q cheaper dollar in this coun-
try. Unfortunately they are not as the
following wage tables show:

sion in LondOn---Th8 Chinese Vice
roy Insists On Eating From H S
Own Cuisine Before Going to Pub

Copyright, 1896, by Associated Press)
London. August 1.-The preparation
for the reception OF Ii Hung Chang
contiues, and HerMajesty, in SPITE Of
the precar.ous state of her health, is
said to be especially interested in the
coming Of the Chinese ambassador eX-
traordinary, who has been made so
much Of in Russia, Germany and
France. The Chinese statesman is
booked to land in England on Monday,
and he viii be escorted to Lord Ions
dale's splendid mansion on Carton
House Terrace, this city which has
been secured by the government for the
accommodation of l.. Hung Chang dur
ing the month which he is expected TO
spend n England. An elaborate SER
les of entertainments and royal events
has been arranged in his honor.
VANITY Fair warns is readers against
the members OF Ii Hung Chang suite,
saying that the bulk of them are quite
a low class OF men who wouldn' dare TO
venture into an English or American
Shanghai. Tie newspapers for some
time have contained a mass of matter
concerning the visiting Chinaman. j.
is said that the Chinese yceroy,
when inv.,ed to dinner, insists Cn din
ing from his own cuisine before going
to the table of his hosts and he only
makes a pretelse CT dining when he is
at banquets given 10 him. After The din
ner given to him by Prince Bismarck
at Friedrichsruhe, the German STATES
man expressed astonishment. it is said
at the fact tha; Ii Hung C6cng did not
taste any of the dishes placed before
him. whereupon the traveller is report
ed to have said: 1T is no, at my age
that one changes ones habits II |
din-d with You | should be forced 10
parjake OF fare which | did not like.
Hence, | prefer to abstain from eating
rather than 10 be asked 10 make a face
at everything not 10 my taste"
Prince Bismarck is reported TO have
tEereupon remarked: "H0w do You know
that You would not like cur good German
cuisine, since you nave never tried it?"
That is true" the Chinaman IS credit
Cd with having replied. "5ut would you
eat with pleasure a Chinese dish II rats
and dogs. If I served it up at my tab.-?"
This question seems to have sleuceI the
great German statsman.
Ii Hung Chang takes his meals alone,
drinks only cold or warm tea, never eats
betewen meals, and takes only two meals
day. one at noon and the other at 7
o'ciock. He smokes opium IN silver
