Since congress has become to great extent an institution for the prosecu- tion of private claims, rather than a body for the transaction of the busi- ness of the country, it seems perfectly proper that the members should have clerks if they have more of this class of business than they can attend to. In former years when the Nations lawmakers assembled for the purpose of legislating for the Nations welfare they got along very we'll without clerks or hired them and paid them out of their salaries. To majority of mem bers, however, an allowance of clerk hire will mean simply an increase of salary or the providing of place for a political favorite.

A HISTORY WITH A MORAL.

Attention is called by leading west ern paper to a notable object lesson in the matter of the growth and decay of cities and illustrating the fact that natural advantages and facilities for trade and expansion cannot be counted on for permanent growth and prosper ity.
 The lesson is particularly commend ed ito the attention of those people in this vicinity who fail to recognize the necessity for active and earnest effort in acquiring and holding population and business.
 Ten years ago, according to the au- thority quoted, Portland, Oregon, was the most promising and prosperous city on the Pacific coast. The North ern Pacific had just been completed which took 40 per cent of San Fran cisco's trade from that city and gave ii. to Portland. The government made a straight and deep waterway for Portland to the mouth of the Columbia and removed the bar at the latter point. Then San Francisco became alarmed, put on steamers for the northern fishing grounds and coast points, while Tacoma and Seattle to the north of Portland did likewise Portland, in fancied security, by req son of it's position and advantages, did nothing, but depended on the Northern Pacific road and its deep water for trade. lN -.
 What has been the result?
 The trade of Portland has been all most destroyed and is confined to the Willamette valley and eastern Oregon. The city is a city of vacant houses. The depression is said to be so great that the Portland papers are declaring that the situation is a crisis involving the very life of the city.
 The moral of the story for us lies in the fact that while a city may four ish for short time and give evidence of becoming great center, it cannot trust to its favorable location and ap- parently superior facilities Of trade. A rival may display a little more pluck and enterprise, and with equal, or even inferior advantages, forge to the front and leave the other towns col lection of vacant houses, or, at best, a stagnant community with depressed business conditions and a constantly darkening future. And the story of Portland is not the only one with this moral-there are scores of others, some of them relating to cities not so far away as Oregon. That man shall earn his bread and independence by the sweat of his brow is as binding upon communities as individuals.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums It is here on it's merits"

You need a blood purifier. We make this assertion with confidence because it is a fact that there is scarcely one person in ten thousand whose blood is l free from humOrS, ScrOfula, acids, or some taint, either hereditary or ac- quired. Pimples, boils, blotches, erup- tions are not the only indications. De- bility, lack of energy, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, rheumatic pains, poor sleep, headache, dizziness, specks floating before the eyes, and
 many other symptoms plainly indicate the need of thorough cleansing of the

Has gold "appreciated?"

Has gold Appreciated"
The advocates of the free coinage of
silver say that it has. Like the man
who thinks his own train in motion be-
cause that alongside is moving in an
opposite direction, the silver men insist
that instead of all other prices Gnclud-
ing that of silver having fallen, the
price of gold has really risen, and the
price of everything else has stood still.
They assert that there has been steady
change in the ratio Of a dollar in gold
to a given quantity of grain, cotton,
clothing, food and silver, and argue that
since one dollar in gold will buy more of
all commodities in the markets OF the
world to-day than it did in 1873, gold
of other articles has stood still. Hence
their constant assertion that gold has
appreciated.
Let us see. To appreciate means to
increase in value. Anything which in
creaseS liz value does so either because
it has grown relatively scarce, or be-
cause each Individual needs more of it
for his daily use.
Now, has this happened about gold ?

To Compete for an Annual Pass.

1t is a rather happy thought by the
management of one of the Pernsylva-
MIA Railroad Company's lines to offer
the prize of an annual pass to the farm
er who will do the most in a given time
to beautify his grounds along the rail-
way. All the efforts of the Superintend-
ent to make his right of way attractive
are often neutralized by the Slovenly
looks of the farmyards through which
the road runs, and if the possibility of
securing an annual paSs-a greater
prize than much money in the eyes of
most men--Shall cause a general i'm
provement in appearances all along the
lire, the entire community will be ben
efited while the enjoyment of travellers
vii be much enhanced. The selection of
the single prize winner out of probably
a hundred or more competitors will
prove delicate task, perhaps involving
the peace of whole communities, but
those who fail to win should console
themselves with the fact that their unit
ed exertions have improved the ap-
rearance and increased the reputation
of their region and that they have really
been working for their own benefit
much more than for that of the rail-
way-RailWay Age.

NEW WBUSINESS METHODS REDUCE
THE DEMAND FOR COIN.
But another and very important fac
tor comes into the problem just at this
point. That factor is the matter of
banking facilities and the use of the
medium of exchange which passes be-
tween them and their customers and
takes the place of the more bulky and
less convenient coin. Fifty years ago
the man who engaged in commerce car
ried with him the gold with which to
make his purchases. He went by stage
coach and sailing vessel, and the gold
in his leather belt lay idle weeks or
months while the tedious journey was
being made. Now he deposits his money
in bank, the banker loans a given pro-
portion of his deposits to those Who de-
sire it's immediate use and 1t is kept in
active circulation meantime The own
er Of the gold takes in it's stead a. slip
of paper draft or bill of exchange

if he wants more, it is transferred half

The banking facilities of the world have
increased tenfold In the past fifty years
and instead Of most of the business
being done by hand to hand exchange
of money for property, 95 per cent. Of
the business is performed with that
comparatively new medium of ex-
change, banking paper, whose elastic
ity, convenience and power of instant
transfer, has revolutionized business
and reduced enormously the proper
tionate demand for gold or other me-
tallic money in the great business
transactions of the world.
The use of this new medium of ex-
change grows nearer to the masses
every day. A recent investigation by
the Comptroller of the Currency showed
that nearly 60 per cent. of the pay
ments made to retailers, such as butch
ers, grocers, clothiers, and general
/ dealers, are now made In checks in
stead of the use of money itself. The
money which these checks represented
had been been deposited in the banks
by the owners, but only a given pro-
portion of 1T was kept in stock by the
bankers, who know by experience that
only a certain percentage Of their de-
posits will be called for at one time
and are thus able to loan out a large
share of the money deposited, and so
keep it in active circulation.
Thus the stock of money which ha
itself enormously increased, is multi
Piled many times by the fact that it
IS used over and over again, with ten
or twenty times the frequency that it
was half century ago.
This system which has grown up dur
ing the period in which business has
so greatly increased, changes radically
| the relations of ready cash to the vol
ume of business. 1t was a premoni-
ton of this change in business customs
which led Mill in his Principles Of Po-

constructed at Sixth and H streets z
rough, uncouth building 2Ox15O feet
which was used for car shop, and here
those cars which saw service and came
in the worse for wear were overhauled
The advent of the railroad rendered a
car repair shop necessary, and 1t was
soon found that the engine, ponderuus
affair though it was, would also get out
of order, and demand the attention of
the mechanic. Accordingly, near the
car repair shop, on the curve leading
into L street, was erected another rough
structure, 20X6O feet, in which lOcomc-
tive engines were overhauled and re-
paired.
1t was not run on a grand scale, this
first locomotive repair shop, and the
workmen who were employed might
have been counted on the fingers ends,
and at one end of the building was set
up single forge which constituted the
blacksmithing department of the rail-
road company in Sacramento.
In the year following QS6D it was

rector of the United States Mint, esti-
mates that the worlds silver money In
1873 was $1.S17, 100000. He estimates
the worlds silver money to-day to be
81, OIO, SOC, 900 is full legal tender. Thus
the silver money of the world has ap-
parently more than doubled since 1913.
This shows the utter fallacy of the ar
gument of the silver people that silver
money has been reduced since 1873. 1t
is interesting in this connection also to
note that the paper money of the world
has trebled in the past half century.
having been in 1913, according to Null
hall, 1900, ,OO0.O 900, and in 1890, 3d.
$4,000. 900.
There is still another light in which
this currency question should be consid-
cred. If the value of house "appre-
ciates" the rent increases proportic n
ately. If it depreciates in value, the rent
falls. This rule applies equally to the
rent of money, usually termed interest.
This test ought to determine the ac-
tual value of money and show whether
it is scarce or plentiful In the past fifty
years rates of interest have fallen from
one-fourth to one-half, according to the
locality. thus indicating thattthere is
less scarcity of money to meet business
demands than was the case fifty years
ago.
The increase in the gold Of the world
has been something enormous in the
past half century. Prior to 1910 the av-
erage production seldom exceeded ten
millions a year Since that time it has
been from 1OO, 900, 900 to O0,OO0,OUO a
year Thus the rate of production in
creased ten-fold, and in some years
twenty-fold, and had in fifty years tseb-
led the amount of gold in the world and
quadrupled the amount of gold coined
for each individual.
HAS THE GOLD INCREASE KEI'f L
PACE WITH THE NEEDS OF BUS
MESS?
But" says somebody, 1.-The business
of the world has increased enormously
meantime, at a much greater rate than
the gold Mas increased, and since the
amount Of gold has failed to keep pace
with business, gold has naturally "ap-
preciated.''
Let us examine that subject. It is
true that the business Of the world has
increased enormously. The value of the
industries of the globe is to-day, ac-
cording to Mulhall, three times what II
was fifty years years ago, and the com
merce of the world is six times as great
as it was at that time. In that same
period gold has only trebled.
This would seem to give color to the
claim that the increase in gold had not
