A String to 1t.

The old lady Of Threadneedle street
(Bank of England) has made an offer to
the bimetallic commission sent abroad
by this country which seems to give
pleasure to some of the friends of sill
ver." Apparently the Bank of England
agrees to hold one-fifth Of its reserve in
silver, which it is permitted to do by
an act of parliament Of 1914. In reality
it agrees to do SO only under conditions
as difficult Of realization as if it had
said "when the sun turns backward in
its course. These conditions are that
the French mint shall "be again open
ed to the free coinage of silver, and that
the prices at which silver is procurable
and salable are satisfactory"
France could hardly open her mints
at any other ratio than her old one of
15H. 1t is practically certain that her
civilization is too far advanced for her
to attempt free coinage at 15h to /
when the present ratio is about 40 to l.
When tine prices at which silver is
procurable and salable are satisfactory"
may mean anything. AS the Bank Of
England cannot use silver in redemp-
tion of its notes it can afford to buy sill

Why Goldbugs Rejoice.

One Of the silver organs asks plain
lively why the heartless goldbugs should
rejoice when silver declines Is not sill
yer one of our products, it asks, and is
not our national wealth reduced when
silver goes down? II silver were treated
as the commodity which it is, and there
were not strong political effort to up
set business in order to give it, or try to
give it, fictitious value, every gold
standard man would be as sorry to see
its price decline below the profit point
as he is to see iron or wheat decline be-
low the. profit point. But as the silver
ties are trying to force silver into mon
etary use at a value far above its real
worth, or to upset all prices and scale
down all obligations, and bring about a
commercial chaos, they must excuse the
gold standard men for rejoicing in ev-
cry incident that makes those injurious
purposes more difficult of accomplish
ment, and the continued decline of sill
yer does that
The cost of producing silver has been
declining, and SO far as the decline in
its selling price is responsive to
this it is not disastrous to the miner
and is highly favorable to all per-
sons who have occasion to use silver in
the arts, and to this extent the decliue
is public benefit. New York Journal

Tho world,s output of Gold.

William P. Bonbright & Co. Of Col
orado Springs say in their mining letter:
"The world is entering upon an era
of largely increased gold production--of
this there can be,little doubt. Never
has the search been carried on with
such vigor, over such wide areas or
with such general success. The causes
which have produced this increased gold
thirst need not be stated here; chat it
exists has been strikingly shown in the
rapidity Of the spread Of the Klondike
excitement and the eager exploration Of
other new goldfelds, as we'll as in the
largely increased production Of the es-
tablished districts. 1t should be possible
at this time to form an intelligent esti-
mate of the extent of this increase and
to forecast the output of the current
year. Barring some calamitous occur
renee, the product of the Cripple Creek
district will be fully $l2, 900, a
gain Of 81 per cent over our figures for
1896. Colorado's output should reach
$40, 900, 900, which exceeds Director
of the Mint Preston's 1896 figures by
"a per cent, or gain Of 10 per cent for
the state outside of the Cripple Creek
district Sixty millions of dollars seems
at the present time very safe estimate
of the production of the United States.
"The worlds output Of gold for 1895
was about $218, 100000 From present
indications no very large increase is to
be expected from either Australasia or
Russia The South African increase,
however, promises to be notable, The
Rand output for the first six months of
the current year exceeded that Of the
corresponding period Of 1896 by about
80 per cent, and while it is not likely
that this ratio will be maintained
throughout the year the increase may
very easily be 20 per cent, or about $9,-
900, 900. The highest percentage Of gain
will doubtless be found in the case Of
Canada and the British northwest,
where the production is likely to jump
from SO, 900, 900 in 1895 to $8, 900, O0C
in 1897, the result largely Of the phe-
nomenal output of the Klondike. Based
on these figures, the prediction may
safely be made that the worlds gold
production for 1897 will approximate
$240, ,000,0 900, gain Of about 10 pei
cent over the preceding year.

PROSPERITY
Is Here According to the New York
Journal (Dem.)

Real prosperity has at last struck
New York.
The laboring man knows all about it,
for he has already begun to reap his
harvest. There is employment now for
nearly all, and though wages have not
been greatly increased, pay envelopes
are fatter, because artisans work six
days a week instead of half time, as
many did six months ago.
1t is estimated by labor statisticians,
men who keep track of the labor de-
,mand as closely as Wall street watches
the market, that not over per cent.
of the working class is now in idleness.
Six months ago between S5 and 40 per
cent. of the toilers we're out of work,
and in the dead of winter probably
every other man who depends upon his
muscle to earn his livelihood was with
out steady employment.
There was then nearly 100000 de-
Ependent on friends or charity. or draw
ing their little savings to get bread for
themselves and their families. Today
less than 10000 in the Greater New
York are out Of work, and some OF
these are of the shiftless classes, who
would not work under any circum-
stances. York Journal, Free Sill

TO BE RESUMED.
China Clock Cases will Again Be7Made
in America.

China Clock Cases Will Again Be7Made
in America.
Prior to the passage of the Wilson,
German tariff monstrosity the manu-
facture Of china clock cases was one Of
the industries of East Liverpool, Ohio.
American workingmen were given en-
ployment and American capital found
profitable investment, under the Nc
Kinley tariff law, in the baking Of
many kinds Of pottery, but none, per-
haps, is more familiar as household
decoration than these same china clock
cases. as they are called by the trade.
After the passage Of the mongrel tar
iff law which was conceived and inhict-
ed by the Democratic congress of 1894,
no more china clock cases were made
tn this country. American manufac-
turers could not compete with the
cheap labor of European countries, and
the clock-case industry died when the
pottery manufactures of this country
got knocked In the head by the Will
eon-Gorman law. Then dealers In
those lines of goods went abroad, and
the china clock cases which the peor @
OF the United States have been buying
in the past three years all were made
In Bonn, Dresden and other foreign
pottery-making centers.
It is a matter of pride to the people
OF Ohio especially, and to the American
people only in lesser degree, that un-
der the Dingley law enacted by the
present Republican congress a few
weeks ago the pottery industries Of this
country will be revived. It will no
longer be necessary to go to Bonn or to
Dresden for china clock case. Ameri-
can worl1ingmen will make it of Amer
Ican materials for American purchasers
That much more money will be kept al
home, and that many more American
babies will have bread and shoes and
books.

Oberlin Freshmen While Holding Stag
Party are Attacked--They Drive on
Their Assailants and Take Two
Prisoners.
Prisoners.

Prisoners.
For several years the freshmen of
Oberlin have had custom of holding
a stag party. This year was no ex-
ception. Last Saturday night in an
open lot west of town, fifty-one fresh
men gathered. They had said that
this year they would hold the party in
an open lot and give every class a
chance at them. Accordingly, they
were dressed in old clothes and sweat
ers. They served oysters, pickles and
cheese. After lunch they built bon
fire and offered toasts. In the midst
of the toasts the sophomores came
down on them and free-for-all fight
ensued; heads were smashed and
clothes were literally torn of the
participants. After a free-for-all light
the sophomores agreed to retire, which
they did, but only for renewed at
tack. This came in short order, and
with mighty rush, which took every
hody off their feet. 1t was here that
the freshmen, according to prearrange-
ment, captured the strongest man
among the sophomores, as we'll as the
president of the sophomore class.
After hard tustle the freshmen took
their prisoners to town, tied them IN
the band stand, and started for wag-
ons. In these, the nine freshmen
loaded the two captured sophomores
and started for the country. They
drove south through Pittsfield, and
then went through Kipton. Beyond
this place they took the president OF
the class out of the rig and left him.
The other man captured was Edgerton,
"a member of the 0berlin football team,
and for fear of injuring him, after
Ithreatening him with clipping his hair,
'the freshmen brought him back and
landed him at Lord cottage at 4 O'Clock
Sunday morning. Several of the boys
are badly used up, but none seriously
hurt.

yer only when it can be exchanged for
gold without risk Of loss. Of course if
France had free coinage at fixed ratio
the Bank Of England could easily and
quickly realize ON its silver by having
it coined in France, when it would, if
silverism be true, exchange for gold at a
fixed ratio When these conditions are
fully appreciated by the silverites, they
will see what an April fool' is being
played upon them.
Two plausible and possible explana-
tions Of this action Of the Bank of Eng
land have been suggested. One is that
this offer is intended as a sop to the sill
verites to keep alive the silver question
and to keep the United States on an
unsound basis as long as possible. By
SO doing England would keep her great
est commercial rival in the same Grip
pied condition in which it has been for
several decades. The second is that as
British capitalists are the largest own
ers Of silver mines and Of silver mining
stocks in the world the Bank of Eng
land should "do something for silver. /"
1t is deemed unfair to the British mine
owners to leave them entirely depend
ent upon their free silver friends in

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passag-
es. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
TO urinate. The mild and the extraor-
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out OF
order.

Art OF Beating Gold.

The process of preparing gold until
it is reduced to thickness of 1885,
600 of an inch is necessary elaborate.
The gold is first cast into ingots four
inches in length and one inch in width,
which weigh from ten to seventeen
ounces, according to thickness. 1t is
then passed between holished rollers,
worked by steam, until it forms rib
bon twenty-eight yards long and ! 800
of an inch thick. These ribbons are
then cut into $50 pieces, one inch
square, and placed between vellum,
and then the real business of the gold
beater is begun. He beats for half an
hour with twenty-pound hammer,
making the inch square into three
inches square; then these pieces
are quartered, becoming one and a
half inch square. He beats again for
one and a quarter hours, until the one
and half inch square becomes four
inches square. The four inch pieces
are again quartered and beaten and
finally cut to proper size, viz, squares
of three and three eighth inches, Of a
thickness Tor, rather, ''thinness" Of
1880, 900 of an inch, and in Il is shape

Liliuokalani Not In 1t.

The one point of importance in
which the Hawain treaty as now drawn
up differs from the convention nego-
tiated by Secretary Foster in Presi.
dent Harrison's administration, is the
omission OF any provision for ex-Queen
Liliuokalani and Princess Kaiulani.
In the original treaty it was provided
that the government of the United
States should pay the ex-queen the
sum Of 800, 900 cash and that amount
Of money as a pension each year dur
ing the remainder of her natural life,
provided she, in good faith, submitted
to the government of the United States
and the local government Of the
islands. Princess Kaiulani being the
next in line OF royal blood, was to re-
ceive cash payment of $3.50, 900. but
no pension, under similar proviso as
in the case Of the ex-queen.
1t is understood that any objection
that might have been expected to the
annexation OF the islands, based on
the large proportion of coolies in the
population, has been forestalled by an
article not only prohibiting the further
emigration OF such laborers to the Ha-
waiian islands, but also prohibiting
the coming of Cinnamon from the
islands to the United States.

SUGAR SCHEDULE Finished.
WITH ONE EXCEPTION, THE BILL
IS NOW COMPLETE.
HAWAIIAN MATTER WENT OVER.
Only One Yea and Nay Vote Taken--New
Hawaiian Treaty Eliminates Queen
LII From Consideration.

The senate made great stride for
ward Tuesday by completing the con-
sideration Of the sugar schedule OF
the tariff bill except the provision
relating to Hawaii, which went over,
This schedule has been the storm
center of the entire bill and with it
disposed of there is q better prospect
for action on the bill as whole. The
first paragraph Of the sugsr schedule
has served to bring out oil the speeches
and the test votes, and when this was
passed early in the day, the other par.
agraphs of the schedule were agreed
to without further opposition.
As agreed to, the schedule places
on sugar not above No. 16 Dutch
standard l cent per pound and .03 Of
q cent for every degree above 70, and
on sugars above No. IS Dutch stand
ard 1886 cents perpound, but on sug-
ars testing below 81 degrees by the
polariscope l cent per pound shall be
deducted. The other provisions Of
the schedule relate to maple sugar,
maple syrup, candy, etc. Only one
yea and nay vote was taken during
the day and that on the amendment
of Mr.. Lindsay of Kentucky, to make
the ratio 1.S cent per pound on sugar
above No. 16 Dutch standard.
The amendment was defeated-32
to 35.
The Pettigrew amendment relating
to trusts was then taken up and dis
cussed at length. 1t developed con.
siderable emergency of views on both
sides of the chamber, the two Alabama
senators, Messrs. Morgan and Pettus,
joining Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
in opposition.
Mr.. Allison finally tested the sense
of the senate bill by moving to table
the amendment, which motion pre-
vailed--yeas, So; nays, 32-two demo-
Gratis, Morgan and McEnery, voting
with the republicans and thus turning
the scale against the amendment.
Consideration of the agricultural
schedule was then resumed.
After the provision relating to the
Hawaiian islands had been passed
over, Mr.. Allison moved to insert q
new paragraph to be known as para
graph 2O6s, of which he had given
notice. 1t is as follows:
"That the duties on molasses clay
ed, jaggery and other sugars testing
not above 81 degrees by the polaris-
cope, shall be lilo of L per ceat. per
pound less than those imposed by the
preceding paragraph on correspond
ing tests of sugar"
The paragraph was agreed to with
out objection.
Paragraph 207, relating to maple SUI
gar and maple strip, was agreed to as
reported ; also paragraph 20S, relatingto
saccharine. The committee amend
ments to paragraph 200, relating to
sugar candy and confectionery, were
agreed to as reported.
