GOLD STANDARD
FACTS.
The production Of
gold, both in the Unit
ed States and the
world at large, is
steadily increasing.
The total value Of the
worlds yield Of gold
last year was over
$500. 900, 900. a far
greater amount than
ever before in history.
Our present money
system is that of all
the great commercial
nations and gives no
fayors to lenders as
against borrowers.
The money gatherers
of the old world can
only get our money by
giving US goods in ex-
change. If we use the
goods, we have no
cause for complaint
because we part with
our money.
Lower prices mean
cheapened production
that is, goods pro-
duced by less toll Of
the workers. Instead
Of being a national
curse this is q bless
ing, for it enables the
masses to get the nee
essaries of life easier
than If prices were
high.
The price Of cotton,
one of our great sta
pies. advanced last
year over so per cent
under the gold stand
ard. This proves that
1t is not the measure
of values which fxes
prices.
The adoption Of free
coinage at l6 to !,
which Is what the
Tellerites declare to
be "bim Q Z al lism,
would put this coun-
try at once on the sill
yer standard and cut
down the basis Of our
money one-half by
driving out of circula-
tion s625, 900, 900 in
gold.
The United States Is
the greatest consum-
ing nation in the
world In proportion to
its population. We inn
port every year con-
sumable merchandise
of the average value
Of $500, 900. 900, all Of
which Is used by the
people Of this country.
The talk Of one set of
people as consumers
only and another set
as merely producers is
nonsense. All men
and all nations both
produce and consume
goods.
"The price Of human
production" means
the wages of labor
whether the laborer
works for himself as
a farmer or for an
employer as a work
man. 1t is not true
that the returns to la
Dor have decreased
with appalling rapid
ity," for every Official
investigation Of \the
subject shows that
while the price of farm
products has fallen
the price Of goods the
farmer buys has fallen
In still greater proper
ton. Labor gets high
er wages now than q
years ago. anG Shsss
wages buy far more
manufactured goods.
Not more toll, but less,
Is now required to

ROLLIN.

The good conduct of child often
determines his after career, and
throws open to him the road to for
tune. Charles Rollin, born at Paris
in 1861, was the son of a poor cutler
and seemed destined to pass his life
at forge. A Benedictine of Blancs
Manteaux, whom he often served at
mass, being charmed with the amia-
bility of his character, and having
noticed his desire of instruction, in
duced his parents to give him an
opportunity of studying. He did
more; he obtained for him a pension
in the.college of Du Plessls. Young
Rollin repaid this benefit by the
progress which he made in his stud
les. 1t seldom happened that his
excellence in composition failed of
securing him the first place in his
class. Among his fellow pupils he
became intimately acquainted and
connected with the two sons of NJ.
LIE Pelletier. This minister sane
toned this intimacy and employed
it for his sons advantage, and treat
ed him like a son. His sons often
took him to the residence of their
father, and sometimes conveyed him
in their carriage to his own home.
On one occasion, when Rollins moth
err remarked that he took the first
place without ceremony, she was
about to reprimand him as wanting
in politeness but the preceptor in
formed her that NJ. LIE Pelletier had
ordered them to take their places in
the carriage according to their rank
in the class. Rollin owed his tai
ents to the university, and conse-
Grated them to it. He became q
professor and remained so during
his life, twice being rector or chief
of the university. In his old age he
employed his leisure hours in the
composition ofexcellent works, which
have. SO to speak, perpetusted the
wise lessons that he had given. His
chief productions are "a Treatise

WEEKLY CROP BUILETIN.-The
temperature during the past week
was above the normal every day ex-
cept the last when, for the FIRST
time during the month, the tempera-
ture fell below the normal. The av-
erage excess during the week was
about four degrees per lay. The
rainfall during The week occurred
wholly from thunder showers which
were very unevenly distributed. In
some sections they were very heavy
and in localities did considerable
damage to the growing crops. In
some localities the rainfall was very
light and the need of it TO the corn
ard grass crops is becoming appar-
ent. Rather more than the usual
amount of cloudy weather occurred
during the week but sufficient sun
shine was received to answer the
crop needs. The past week has been
very favorable for farm work OF all
kinds. The rainfall occurring almost
wholly from thunder showers did
not materially interfere with farm
ing operations. The cutting of oats
and hay has been vigorously pushed
and this work has been very nearly
finished. The oats crop is generally
heavy and where not damaged by
storms and army worms is excep-
tionally good. The damage from
army worms has ceased almost en-
tirely. The hay crop is generally
lighter than usual and is weedy, the
long period Of warm, wet weather
causing a rank growth of weeds in
both the hay and corn fields. The
corn crop is in excellent condition
and where not injured by storms
promises an unusually large and fine
yield. Many correspondents cay
they never saw larger or finer ears
or more healthy and vigorous stalks.
No accurate estimate can be given Of
the extent TO which this crop was
damaged by the storms. At present
the outlook is favorable for q very
large yield especially in the eastern
counties. Potato digging has begun
and the report shows a large and
fne yield, not withstanding the
damage from wet weather. Plough
ing for fall seeding has begun and
the ground is said to be in excellent
condition. Wheat threshing contin-
ues. Many correspondents say 1t is
turning out better than was expect
ed, the yield being small but the
grains plump and OF good quality.
Others report a very inferior yield.
Fruit, grapes, melons and garden
vegetables are abundant and, except.
ing melons, are of fine quality. The
occurrence OF severe local storms
during the past has made crop con-
ditions very irregular and while
some correspondents report q poor
outlook others In the same section
say the crops are in good condition
and very promising.

Whales Form in Line.

With great dents in the plates on
each side, and with some of the deli
cate machinery in the engine room
disarranged, the steamer Seminole,
of the Clyde line, arrived at jack
sonville, Fla, from New York. The
damage to the vessel was the result
ofan encounter with monster whales.
Soon after passing Sandy Hook
Purser r. E. Morton says the
steamer ran into a school of whales.
Soon six Of the monsters appeared
almost under the ships bow, and she
crushed into one of them. The inn
pact apparently broke the whales
back and it began to squirt blood.
Then the officers and passengers
witnessed remarkable sight, when,
as If in rage, the five other whales
drew off a short distance and dashed
madly against the vessel, causing
her to tremble from stem to stern.
The whales repeated this perform
anee four times, and at each COLI
sion the Seminole quiversd as if
about to go to the bottom.
Many of the passengers were hurl-
ed to The deck and bruised. Several
women tainted. So terrible was the
shock that some of the furniture in
the saloon was broken from its fast
enings. The whales were badly in
jured by the collision, and after the
fourth rush drew away spouting
blood. They tried to come again,
but moved slowly because of their
injuries, and the vessel soon distanc.
ed them. The passengers say the
whales were nearly 100 feet in
length.
