Agatite

While in conversation with Mr.. Rob-
ert Pierce, president of the Chicago
Lumber company, a Journal reporter
questioned him as to the qualities of
Agatite," a cement plaster of con-
siderable reputation, which the COM
pany handles. He replied; 'Agatite''
Cement Plaster is a natural cement
and the most perfect plastering mater
ial known. 1t does not differ widely in
composition from the cement taken
from the famous Cheops Pyramid of
Egypt. The Egyptian cement runs
higher in sulphate of lime and lower in

GERMAN LEADER HERE.
He Says International Bimetallism
Will Never Come to Pass.


New York, Sept. 3.-The Herald this
morning says:
DR.. Theodore Barth, leader of the
liberal party in the German reichstag'
arrived in New York yesterday on the
steamer Havel. He comes to study the
political conditions in this country ana
to watch the campaign which mas a
peculiar interest for him, as he is one
of the leading European advocates OF
gold recommendation.
I do not come to NEEDLE with your
politics. he said, but to watch TINS
most interesting presidential campaign
and to learn. The most intense inter
est is felt in Europe in the American
situation and the desire of all is to
see an outcome that will bring pros
perity to the United States, for trade
relations are so close that prosperity
for you means prosperity for us 1 re-
gard the currency question as the vital
one to a country's prosperity. Intefna-
tional bimetallism has long been dis
cussed in Europe, but it will never
come to pass, 7 believe. England and
Germany will never consent to aban-
don the gold standard and without them
the other powers will be helpless
L regard the attempt at bimetallism
by any single nation as absolutely i'm
practicable, and doubt if all the great
commercial nations together could sue
coed.
I do not believe that free silver
coinage would benefit the agricultural
classes in the United States Between
the time of Mr.. Bryan's election and
the passage of any free coinage law
at least four months would elapse and
during that time you would have
panic which would ruin your agricul-
tural interests. Mortgages would be
foreclOsed. loans called in and great
is only my opinion. I am eager to
hear the arguments of the other side"
