The greatest heiress of American

Ihere may be some doubt about the
particular prince or duke concerned
tnere can be no doubt about the main
iact. More than a hundred years of
money getting, at first bold and bril-
hant, later merely conservative, are
represented by the vast fortunes pos
sessed by William Waldorf Astor to-
day. 1t is estimated at 100000 He
himself does not know how great 1t is,
ior It's increase is constant. Mr.. Astor
is an incarnate monument of American
industry-the industry of his ances-
tors nd their fellow citizens. His own
indus, has been devoted almost ex-
clusively to obtaining recognition from
the royal family, nobility and gentry
OF Great Britain. He has achieved It.
A prominent Englishman described the
climax Of this career. when he heard
that the Prince of Wales had visited

ter OF this Mr.. Astor with whom we are
chiefly concerned here. 1t is certain
that marriage between Miss Pauline
Astor and young Prince Alexander Of
Teck has been under consideration.
Such marriage is rather diplomatic
than sentimental affair to put 1t po-
litely. Miss Pauline Astor would be no
discredit to ducal household. She has
none of the ways that are convention
ally attributed to Americans by ordi-
nary English people. You could not

Waldorf Astor's fortune will 10 to his
eldest son, named after him. The re-
mainder will be divided equally be-
tween the other two children. The
young girl is but eighteen years of age,
and has inherited the delicate beauty
Of her mother. who was a Miss Mary
Paul, of Philadelphia. Her Christian
name is an ingenious memorial to the
maternal family. Miss Astor is slight
and graceful. Her complexion is olive,
and her eyes large, dark and lustrous.

Ex-Governor Alteeld.

Though he may be the "Bete noir"
of the republican party he has the
faculty of stating some wholesome
truths. In recent speech he formu-
lated seven reasons for the failure Of
the sham prosperity and for the un-
fortunate predicament of the republi-
can party:
treason No. mo false prophet
ever did feel comfortable after he
reached the point where the people
could no longer be deceived.
Reason No. 2.-President McKin-
ley allowed himself to be advertised
on all the sign boards OF the country
as the advance agent of prosperity,
and at the time this was done he was
conscious Of the fact that he held no
such commission and that he did not
even have a case OF samples that
would bear inspection by daylight.
Reason No. 3.-This country has
produced men who would rather be
right than president. Mr.. Mckinley
stands out as conspicuous example
of man who would rather be presi-
dent than right.
Reason No. 4.-Hundreds of thous-
ands of men were, with his knowledge
deceived into supporting him on the
specific promise that they would
have work and bread. He has been
unable to give them either.
Reason No. ga quarter of a
million of miners. seeing their chill
dren starving and wives in rags, with
no hope for the future, are upbraid-
ing him.
Reason No. president McKin-
ley once energetically advocated
principles that did offer hope to this
country, but in the last campaign he
deliberately cast these aside and
suddenly took position that was
just the opposite of the one formerly
held by him. He threw away his con-
viction for the sake of an office, and
while the Lord may pity him, the
men who were deceived will not.
Reason No. president McKin-
ley is now simply demonstrating that
even q president is not exempt from
that great law under which every
man reaps what he sows."

Wheat and Silver.

Republican newspapers are making
merry over the decline in the price OF
silver.
AS the white metal is q product OF
industry by citizens of this country,
the republican editors are not show.
ing much public spirit when they re-
joice in Its decline in price. Accord
ing to their theory silver ranks with
iron and copper as commodity.
Would these same facetious gentle
men congratulate themselves and
their readers on slump in the price
of iron and copper?
On the other hand, there is much
rejoicing over the rise in the price OF
wheat. This is cause for congratu-
latory remark, and there is no man
in this country who will express any
other sentiment. But the goldites
seem to think there are those who re-
greet this increase.
Speaking of this matter the New
York Herald says: Compared with
this date three years ago, wheat has
risen nearly SO per cent, while silver
is lower. Verbum sap." The impli.
cation is that bimetallists are foolish
enough to believe that the law OF
supply and demand has ceased to
exist. Silver has deprecated because
it has been legislated against and
dishonored. Wheat has appreciated
because there is a short crop of this
cereal abroad and the demand is pro-
portionally increased. Wheat is not
legislated against. Markets are
opened, not closed, for it. Open the
mints to the free coinage Of silver
abrogate the laws discriminating
against the white metal; place ii
even on the same basis with wheat
and see where the price will co.

More Money Needed.

The rejoicing Of the single standard
advocates over the discovery of the
rich gold fields of Klondyke is con.
fession that the bimetallists fare cor
rect in their claim that in order to
have prosperity there must be an in
crease in the amount of the circulat-
ing medium.
The decline in values which has
taken place since the characterization
Of silver is an absolute demonstration
of the fact that the destruction OF
one-half of the circulating medium
cut down the value of all property
one-half. The fall in prices followed,
the decrease in the money of ulti-
mate redemption in due and accurate
proportion.
Ifthe loss in silver can be made
good by the discovery and consequent
production of gold, this country may
expect return of the prosperity
which obtained when bimetallisln
was In force, but there is no hope
that enough gold will be injected in
to the circulation to bring about this
result.
An increase of the amount of good,
honest money is the remedy for all
the business evils which now exist.
The advocates of the gold standard,
in their delight over the new discov-
cries, place themselves on record as
falsifiers in their claims that there is
plenty of money in existence to trans
act the business of the world. They
know better, and they admit it by
their reception of the news from
Klondyke.
1t would need four thousand mil
lions of additional dollars to place
the world on prosperous basis. The
gold miners cannot fill that void;
hence the claims of bimetallists and
the necessity of the reconciliation
of silver.-Chicago Dispatch.
