Among the curiosities of the Tires IN
England not the least remarkable is the
insurance craze. which has just taken
or d new phase. This is insuring against
England going to war with different
nations. The various premiums show

possibility of war between England and
any Of the three great European powers
Germany, France ard Russia-is
rated at four pounds per cent; with the
other European powers, except Turkey
or the Transyaal, at five guineas per

MIR. BRYAN on Equality.

In his speech at New York on Feb. 20
Mr.. Bryan said: eff any person believes
a government should single out q few
people and give them advantages over
others, he does not understand equality
under the law"
This is very true. But, i'll demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take so cents worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as 81, is
not Mr.. Bryan advocating the very in
equality under the law which he re-
Dukes? Would not free coinage of silver
at a fictitious ratio be to ''single out u
few people and give them advantages
over others?" The owners of silver bull
lion i'll this country are very few indeed.
Again Mr.. Bryan says, "No just gov
eminent ought to enable OF permit one
citizen to injure another citizen"
True. But would not the government
do this if it enabled one class of citizens,
the debtors, to discharge their obliga-
tions to another class, the creditors, in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government
were to make wampum or conch shells
legal tender for the payment Of debt,
would it not enable one class of citizens
to injure another class? And would it
not do the same in depreciating the cur
rency of the country to n SO cent basis?
The people SO decided last November.
