DIR. Abbott on Bible.

In Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
Sunday night, DR.. Lyman Abbott
spoke on "A Summary of Results" in
his criticism of the Bible as literature.
He answered the charges that have
been freely made against him Of under.
mining religious faith and impairing
the usefulness of the Gospel. He read
a list Of the leading universities and
theological seminaries which are eddict.
ed to the higher criticism. He review.
ed the conclusions in regard to each
book Of the Gospel, and, as usual, stig.
matized them as "satirical fiction.
DIR. Abbott declared that the popu.
lar notion of the Old Testament rested
wholly on an old tradition, originated
by the rabbis- This was set aside by
scientific students. In speaking of ira
ditions, DR.. Abbott said:
Il was brought up in the traditional
school. For years l endeavored IL
satisfy myself and get rid Of the con
slant difficulties that were presented II
me in the way of understanding thu
Bible. When l finally got this trutl
into my hands and learned that th,
Bible is a human book, the difficultie
which had before stood in my way slip
ped out from my vision. Books tina
had been closed to me were opened t,
me. 1t was because this study of tn,
Bible increased its value to me anC
enhanced its sacredness for me that
wished to give it to my own people.

BILE will make it more sacred to us be
cause | think it will teach us more tn
way to who is the life, and who is en-
shrined within it"

The Sound Money Propaganda.

The decision of the silver men to con
tinue their fight for the 80 cent dollar
despite the emphatic verdict of the peo-
pie in November, is appropriately fol-
lowed by the organization in New York
of a sound money league, which is to be
national in it's character and in the
scope of its work. From this time on
till the next presidential election the
dissemination of money facts and cor
rect views as to money is to be contin.
ued.
The most efficient agency of the last
campaign was the sound currency com
mittee of the New York Reform club,
and its publications, each given to
some one phase of the currency ques-
ton, were invaluable to speakers and
writer's A sound basis for currency re-
form was thus laid in the minds of thou
sands who were cropping after the truth.
These publications, 1t is stated, are to
continue. An effort is to be made to
widen the field of operations by class
of writings of more popular character
In the south and west particularly hon
est thinkers are to be supplied with ma
terial for progressive thought toward
sound conclusions on the money ques
ton.
Much was done in six months Of
1895 to uproot the erroneous ideas
planted in five years of populist agita
ton. Errors had flourished simply be

An interesting souvenir in the shape
of an autograph letter. from George
Washington was found few days
ago in the old Isaac Tichenor home
stead at Bennington Center. The
letter reads: s'The President of the
United States, to Isaac Tichenor,
Senator for the State of Vermont
1t appears to me proper that the Sen
ate of the United States should be
convened on Saturday, the fourth day
of March. You are desired to at
tend in the chamber of the Senate on
that day at II o'clock in the forenoon
to receive any communications which
the United States may then have to
lay before you touching their inter-
ests. United States, March 1, 1897
G. Washington" Isaac Tichenor
was the first United States senator
from Vermont, and was afterward
governor for a number of years. The
house that he built is yet standing

The discovery of gold at Bethel
has called large crowds to that sec

pears operations will begin. A vein
of gold bearing quartz has been
found running through Warren
Green's property. Besides the
Northern Gold Mining company an.
other company has been chartered to
develop mining property here. The
Gay Hill Mining company, with a
capital OF 100000, has been formed,
and has bought Green's property.
Rev. G. H. Wright of West

$50 less.

ADOPTS THE GOLD STAND

After Four Years of Investigation Japan
Decides to Discard Silver.

After Four Years Of Investigation Japan
Decides to Discard Silver.
On March l it was cabled from Yoko-
hama that Japan had decided to adopt
the gold standard at a ratio of 321s to
/, the new standard to go into operation
in October.
This act, on top Of many previous
ones, moves Japan completely out of the
ranks Of the semi-civilized and into those
of civilized and progressive nations 1t
was not taken hastily, but after two
years. consideration of an exhaustive re-
port made by the Japanese currency
commission, appointed in 1898.
This commission found that, while
certain capitalists, especially those cru
ploying many laborers, were benefited
by the falling silver standard, the
wage earncrs were injured from the
fact that their wages did not rise as
fast as did the prices Of what they
had to buy The report pointed out
what every rational trader ought to
know-that a silver standard country
can trade and compete with gold stand
ard countries only after paying tho los
ON exchange in foreign trade. However,
as the greater part Of Japan's trade was
with China and India, the two countries
Of Asia still using the silver standard,
the disadvantage on this account was
not considered great.
The silverites have lost with Japan
some of their best capital Of course
they will tell us how British gold
was used to bride the government into
betraying its people into the hands Of
the money power. They cannot, how
ever, much longer tell us that we arr
unable to compete with Japan because
she uses the silver standard.
The truth is that Japan got tired O
being a second rate nation and of work
ing with second rate tools, and, after
careful investigation, concluded to gel
rid of free coinage at ordinary ratios
which drives gold out of the country al
fast as it can be coined and which re
suits in the single silver standard, anC
to adopt the gold standard at ratit
with silver which will permit the use O
both metals in her trade. 1t is wis,
step. Japan is only one Of four or fly,
nations which have adopted the golt
standard during the last Is months.

BRYAN In the East.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is going
about the country preaching the same
doctrine that he preached during the
campaign in which he figured as POM
inee for the presidency of the United
States. The activity of the free silver
forces is not to be winked at They are
good and persistent fighters. They re-
alize the fact that new men are entering
into citizenship every year and that
some of them may be won over to their
side of the currency question. They pro-
pose to hold the ground they have and
to secure more if they can. The free sill
yer advocates should be met more than
half way in this fight that did not end
with the victory won by the sound
money forces last November. Trenton

Washington, March 12.-There has
been decrease in immigration during
the past seven months, compared with
the same period last year, of 45,525.
Commissioner Stump explains the de-
cerease as follows,--
The many deportations and strict
examinations of the immigrant to the
United States have caused large
immigration from Europe to Brazil,
Argentine Reptile and other South
American countries, where inducements
are held out for migration. Italian
immigration will be seriously checked
by the proclamation of Marquis di
Rudini, minister of the interior for
that kingdom, warning undesirable
classes from embarkation and refusing
passports.
