The Eiehtinr Rahonns.

The balloons were on fiat ground, cross
ing q valley, when the travellers dogs,
Arab greyhounds, accustomed to fight sue
cessfully with hyenas and other beasts of
prey, rushed toward the balloons. Only
the females took to flight. The males, on
the contrary, turned to face the dogs,
growled, beat the ground with their hands,
opened their mouths wide and showed
their glittering teeth and looked at their
adversaries SO frriously and maliciously
that the hounds, usually bold and battle
hardened, shrank back. By the time the
dogs were encouraged to renew their at
tack the whole herd had made their way,
covered by the rear guard, to the rocks, ex-
cept 6-months-old monkey, which was
left behind. The little monkey sat on a
low rock surrounded by the dogs, but was
rescued by on old baboon, who stepped
down from the cliff near advanced toward
the dogs, kept them in check by gestures
and menacing sounds, picked up the baby
monkey and carried it to the cliff, where
the dense crowd of monkeys, shouting
their battlecry, were watching his hero
ism.

together and make war on the cultivated
ground in common. Their communities
are numerous enough to reproduce in min

often numbers from $50 to 300 individ-
uals. OF these the females and young
are placed in the center when on the march,
while the old males march in front and
also close the rear. Other males scout up.

In fact, if foreign investments were
stopped altogether for spell, the Unit
ed States and the vast bulk of her peo-
Pile would be better off. 1t would be the
worse for the American goldbug capi-
talists and spectators, of course. They
would lose much of their profits. But
that loss would be the American peo-
ple's gain, for it is out Of the univer-
sally feeced American people, and more
particularly the American producer and
the American workingman, that these
profits ultimately come.
Therefore it is that ive-sixths of the
American people do not care o snap of
their fingers for the displeasure of the
Lombard street capitalist, and that they
bid him go his way while they go theirs.
1t is by reason largely Of these unneed-
ed foreign investments, anyway, that the
brokers Of the east are screwing 18 and
30 per cent interest for money loans out
of impoverished debtors in the west
and that they are foreclosing mortgages
on the homesteads of these poor people
every day.

the borrower, labor or products equal to
100 cents on the (gold) dollar has had

ALeER'S CONFESSION.
The Man Who Stultified Himself and As
sociates Gives His Case Away.


The price Of silver il down no more than Is
the price Of every product in the country
They might as well demand that the country
put up the price of copper, iron OF wool as to
put up the price Of silver.-General Russell A.
Alger.
Here is plain, uneQuivocal confes.
sion from man who has more than any
other man to do with the qualification
of the Michigan delegation at the st.
Louis convention. General Alger admits
that the price of silver has gone do Il,
and that the price of every other prod
uct has gone down accordingly. These
are facts which no intelligent and hon.
est man will deny. If the prices Of
wheat, corn, potatoes, wool and cotton
and silver and all other products have
depreciated-that is, if you can buy as
much with so cents worth Of silver as
you used to with 81 worth-then
the price of gold must have appreciated.
There is no other conclusion that can
logically be drawn. The price of gold
can be estimated only with respect to
its purchasing power, and if the metal
In gold dollar will buy twice as much
in the markets of the world as it would
20 years ago then that dollar has dou-
bled in value. 1t is absurd to maintain
that gold alone Of all the products has
remained standard. Such an argument
is but the assertion Of the doctrinaires
and has no basis in fact
General Alger has expressed a fact
which cannot be controverted. He has
admitted the truth of the basic conten-
tion Of the advocates Of free silver. He
has Internationally demonstrated the
righteousness of their cause, and why,
in the name Of all the gods, should he
insist that the only honest dollar which
this country can maintain is dollar that
is 80? The Michigan delegation went to
the ST. Louis convention on platform
pledged to bimetallism. The members
of that delegation, led by General Al
ger, disobeyed the tacit instructions Of
the convention which nominated them
and voted to maintain an appreciated
single standard They return home,
and General Alger confesses to the jus
tice Of the silver cause, but still insists
that the SO dollar is the only honest dol
lar. This may be good Republican poli-
tics, but it is not patriotism, and all
the glowing rhetoric in the world can
not make it other than miserable sub.
terfuge. Detroit News.

what Free Coinage win Do.

I think the free coinage of silver
would benefit materially the great mass
Is Of our people tn Mississippi and in
the south and throughout the Union. It
would tend to reduce the value on pur-
chasing power, of the gold dollar, now
unduly and abnormally appreciated
throughout the world, and 1t would to
that extent deprive holders Of money
and securities for money of an unjust
advantage now held by them. Under
the present system wealth has so con-
centrated IN a few great financial cen
ters that it is in the power of few
men, acting in concert, to derange at
any time the business Of the world by
locking up the present insufficient sup
ply Of money, and thus produce panic
and disaster. They will resort to this if
they think that thereby they can pre-
vent free coinage and an overthrow Of
their dangerous monopoly. This has al
ready been threatened. In the end, how
ever, the cause of the people will tri-
umph. Senator J. z George.

The Gamblers, Candidate.

There is class of people in that great
center Of commerce, New York. who
care nothing for the national honor. It's
population embraces great number of
men who live by their wits, who pro-
duce nothing. who add nothing to the
general wealth, who in no respect make
the world better for having lived in it,
who get the best of every person and
everything they can, not excepting the
government of the United States It is
these people, without regard to party,
that Governor Mckinley is made to.rep-
resent in his candidacy for president.
There is not farmer or workingman
in the state Of Ohio who can be in prac-
tical sympathy with the platform on
which he stands. The goldbugs of the
east have shrewdly taken western man
for the presidency and gagged and bound
him. They will apply the Lash without
mercy when they want him to speak. -

EQUAL DOLLARS.
A Few Pertinent Questions Asked Of the
6oldbug Presidential Candidate.

a Few Pertinent Questions Asked Of the
Goldbug Presidential Candidate.
In his address to the notification
committee" Mr.. Mckinley said:
"The money of the United States
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world It must
not only be current at its full face value
Lt home, but it must be counted at par
in any and every commercial center of
the globe The sagacious and farseeing
policy of the great men who founded
our government, the teachings and acts
of the wisest financiers at every stage in
our history, the steadfast faith and
splendid achievements of the great par
ty to which we belong and the genius
and integrity Of our people have always
demanded this and will ever maintain
it The dollar paid to the farmer, the
wage Garner and the pensioner must
continue forever equal in purchasing
power to the dollar paid to any govern
ment creditor. 4"
If under the "existing gold stand
ard" every dollar, whether of paper,
silver or gold," is "the best in the
world" why was it necessary for this
country to issue $500, 600, 900 in inter
est bearing bonds to obtain gold?
If under the ''existing gold standard
every dollar, whether of paper, silver
or gold," is counted at par in any and
every commercial center of the globe, u
why was it necessary for the govern
ment to issue $500, 100000 in bonds to
obtain gold?
If under the existing gold standard
every dollar, whether Of paper, silver
or gold," is "equal in debt paying
power" why was it necessary for tbs
government to issue $500, 600, 900 il
bonds to obtain gold?
If ''the dollar paid to the farmer,
the wage Garner and the pensioner" is,
under the existing gold standard, .
equal in debt paying power to the dollal
paid to the foreign creditors Of the gov
ernment why was it necessary to ISSUE
| $500, 900, 900 In bonds in order to "main
tain our credit abroad" by paying oul
foreign creditors in gold?
Under the existing gold standard,
which Mr.. McKinley's platform say
"must be preserved" the silver dollal
which the wage Garner, the farmer ant
the pensioner gladly accepts is not equa
in debt paying power to the gold dolla
when the foreign creditor Of the govern
ment is to be paid off. Mr.. McKinle.
knows this to be true and he regard
very lightly the intelligence Of th,
American people when he imagine
that he can make them believe that tn
equality of the American dollar, effec
tually destroyed by the gold standard
can be restored by preserving" thi

on one of the horses belonging 70 the sta

found that he was suffering from 1.-THE

navy regulations showed that only certain
recommendations could be made by the
board as follows:
"To be turned into store for use, "To
be retained in or for use, Sold, ""Used
for scrap metal, ITO be issued for any
other purpose, {" "To be thrown on the
dump" ITO be transferred to some other
station" ITO be used for repairs for some
other article" or ITO be extensively re-

mended, in conformity with tho regula-

Fada IN Pronunciation.

It is possibly too late to cure the afecta-
tion Of giving Teutonic twist to the pro-
nunciation Of those good old Saxon words
either and neither, in whose original there
was no suspicion of an 'i," for fashion
seems to have decreed, notwithstanding
the opposition of the photographers, thGt
they shall be ''i-ther" and "ni-ther," and
so they will probably continue to be with
those who aspire to keep pace with the
popular whirl until the turn Of the wheel
lhall bring the correct form on top again.
That oft mooted question may then be
considered out Of court for the present.
| But there are two other words that seem
to be going the same road, and alike in
opposition to all authority, concerning
which wish to make few remarks. l
mean the words evil and devil, which have
close relation to each other in more ways
than one. Many of our clergyInen have
adopted for these words the pronunciation
of evil and devil, and am sorry you say
that devil has so got the upper hand that
the evil is on the increase, until what was
| in the beginning only o clerical affectation
now bids fair like i-ther and ni-ther, to
assume the proportions of q popular fash
| ion. Time was when the stage virtually
1
set the standard in the pronunciation Of
the language, but in these latter days Of
dramatic degeneracy, when slipshod Eng
lish and imperfect enunciation seem to be
the rule behind the footlights, the pulpit
exerts an equal if not the greater, influence
1t behooves every clergyman, then, to look
carefully to his rhetorical ways, lest he
teach orthoepic heterodoxy while preach
ing the soundest of theological orthodoxy
Now, the words in question have been pro-
nounced ever since the English language
came into being simply evil and devil,
with the accent on the first syllable, and
no amount of mispronounciation can make
the one any worse or add any terrors to
the other. If our clergymen will only bear
in mind that "the evil that men do lives
after them, )" they will look more carefully
in future to their orthoepy and hesitate
ere they try to improve on the good old
fashioned "dev'P' of our fathers. Critic.
