Lord Beaconsheld, in a speech in
the House of Lords in March of this
year, said;
notwithstanding an increase of
population-which alone always re-
qulres a large increase of gold cur
rency to carry on its transactions
the mount every year has diminish
ed, and is diminishing, until a state
OF affairs has been brought about bv
the gold discoveries exactly the re-
verse of what they produced at first.
Gold is every day d~epreciating in
value, and as it appreciates in value
the lower become prices. This, l
think, is n cause (of the ~depression)
; and may lead to consequen-
ces which may be of a very serious
character it is not impossi-
bic that as affairs develop the coun-
try may require that some formal in
Vestlgat1on may be made of the
causes which are affecting the prices
OF the precious metals and the effect
which the change in the value of the
precious metals has upon the indus
try OF the country and upon the con-
tlnual fall of prices"

HEADINGS

When the Sixth Congressional
District of Illinois went Republican
at the last election the result was
announced i'll a Republican paper IN
Chicago.
Gold men Garry the Sixth Dis
triCt.
Silver Laid Out Cold Last Tues
day.
Now, as a matter of fact the above
headings were strictly true, but a
little investigation of the facts will
show how misleading and deceptive
are these head lines.
1t was a straight fight between the
Silver men and Gold Bugs. The BIZ
1netall1sts fought under the Demo
cratic banner, and the mono-metal-
lists under the Republican standard,
The Republican candidate won by
$50.
Last year, in the same district, the
Gold Bugs elected their man bv a
majority of 6579. The recent election
shows a clean gain for Silver of $40.
At this rate of gain for the Silver men
into whose hands will the Sixth Con-
gressional District of Illinois fall two
years from now?

The gold men of the countrv are
arranging to erect a statue of Nc
k1nley made of solid gold. 1t will
require over a million dollars worth
OF the precious metal to make a
statue of this description. Mckinley
has certainly been worth his weight
IN gold to the corporations and trusts
and they certainly are doing the cor
rect to pay him this swell tribute OF
respect. He is saving them about
one hundaed million d year, and they
would not feel the loss of a gold
statue presented to him and all the
members of his family.

A FAMOUS BAKERY.
How tho hollands became Cakemakers
For the Royal Family.

How tho bollanu5 became Cakemalxers
For the Royal Family.
In one OF tho old buildings which
bear the architectural imprint of Oueen
Anne's timo in Chester, England, is u
bakcshop-not an ordinary bakesbop,
| for tho royal arms jut out from tho sec
ond story, and Immediately above is
sign bearing the name tBollands. )"
And the proximity of the sign to the
royal arms is no idle commercial myth
| to insnare new customers.
| III tho annals of the tradesfolk of
| Chester there never was n greater man
than Richard Bolland, the original
| owner of the bakeshop. In 1886 tho
Duchess of Kent and her young daugh-
ter, tho Princess Victoria, visited the
city for tho purpose of officially opening
new bridge that was to bring all
kinds of importance and prosperity to
the town. Of course it was an immense
event for Chester, and every one did
something to make tho visit of tho
| great folks memorable.
Richard Bolland was ambitious. but
poor, and no churned his brains might
lily to devise some attractive method of
showing his loyal appreciation of the
visit In q happy moment he decided to
mako some small cakes of transcendent
excellence, put them in fancy box and
present them to tho young princess.
Happy thought Potent cakesl Great
Bolland!
The next year the little princess,
whose palate had been enchanted by
the flavor of the Chester cakes, became
queen of England, and one of the first
acts after her accession i'll S37 was tho
appointment of Bolland as one of tho
queens warrant holders. So much for
the power of II box of small cakes.
How long the flavor of those cakes
fingered i'll the royal memory is shown
by tho fact that 20 years later, when
the Prince of Wales was to be married,
Victoria gave n commission to Bolland
to prepare the wedding cake for that
great event. 1t was no ordinary we'd
ding cake that Mr.. BoIland produced
either, and its exhibition earned him
such tremendous fame that every Eng
lisb bride of wealth and prominence
who has married since then has had
the Chester baker prepare her wedding
cake
Descendants Of the original Bolland
now conduct the shop but they use the
same recipe that proved so successful in
the days of Victoria's childhood, and
still bake cakes for the royal family

The Leper and the FIagstone.

One of the principal legends connect
ed with st. Patrick's altar stone, uc-
cording to writer in Donahoe's Maya
zine, is called tho Legend of the Leper
and the Flagstonc. This story runs as
follows: When ST. Patrick was embark
ing for Ireland to enter upon his mis-
sion, poor loper came to the seashore
just rs tho ship was about to weigh
anchor and earnestly begged to be taken
on board 1t is probable that he bad
heard something of the holiness of the
saint and the proofs of divine favor con-
ferred upon him, and that deep within
his inner consciousness there was born
hope, vague at first but gradually
growing stronger, that in the company
of st. Patrick he might expect some
amelioration of his pitiable condition
Something i'll the man appealed to the
SAINT, who was so deeply touched by
his plcadings that he expressed wish
to have tho despised leper taken OH
board. but fear and prejudice had such
an influence over the sailors that they
would not allow the leper OH board, and
| the ship began to move out while the
afflicted man continued to plead from
the beach. The saint took his altar
stone and cast it Oh the water within
reach of the leper, telling him to sit on
1T and remain perfectly quiet Again
was the faith of the man shown, and
as soon rs ho had seated himself the
stone began to move over the water. 1t
followed Immediately ill the wake of
the ship until it reached tho harbor of
Wicklow, and the leper thus reached
the shores of Erin i'll safety. ST. Patrick
again took possession of tho stone

TARIFF MADNESS.

As furnished us through the daily reports
on the tariff revision before the committee
of Ways and Means prove that the beneh
cianes of high protection learn nothing,
fJrget nothing.
The Mckinley tariff of 1890 was not the
creation OF President elect Mckinley. Many
offs worst features were forced upon him
by the imperious demands of benefciaries
OF protection, who had contributed enor.
nous sums OF money 10 carry the election
and claimed their reward in monopoly tariff
taxes. Party necessities outweighed states
manship and public duty, and the Mckinley
tariff. proclaimed the doctrine of paternal
ism in the interest Of classes 10 the injury OF
the masses TO such an appalling extent that
the people rejected it by over q million ma
jority.
We have every reason to believe that Mr.
Mckinley does not favor any such restora-
ton OF tariff duties as those given in some
OF the schedules az the bill that bears his
name. He has never indicated his approval
Of the policy Of re.l ning TO that measure,
on the contrary, his utterances have been
studiedly conservative, and the declarations
of Mark Hanna have been 30 unequivocal
on the subject that none can misunderstood
them. Mckinley will heartily favor pro-
lection 70 the extent necessary 70 sustain
the wages of American labor, and he will
not favor protection that is designed simply
10 protect combined capital organized TO
profit by prohibitory tariff duties. To press
such measure at this time is simply mo-
mop oily madness through tariff extremes.
One pointed illustration OF this madness
is shown in the demand recently made upon
the committee 10 restore the Mckinley du
ties on pig iron. The demand is made in
the face Of the fact that we now manufac-
ture iron in this country cheaper than they
can manufacture it 10 England.
Alabama pig iron is now shipped to En-
Birmingham than in other place in the
world. To demand what would be practically
prohibilory duties on pig iron, solely 10 the
interest OF combined copitaI, would be an
exhibition oil monopoly madness to which
the people would not submit
The tariff tax on wool will probably be
restored. by which 10000 900 OF people will
be taxed on their clothing without protect
ing any considerable labor interest of the
country. 1t will be q political measure, not a
measure dictated by craftsmanship, and il
the demand Tor even increased duties on
adopted, it could not TAIL to be q strong fac
tnr IN reversing the protective policy OF the
country. Honest and judcious protection
is desired as an incident 70 our revenue
laws by great majority of the people OF the
country, but there is no more certain way
- make the policy OF protection otious and
10 endanger It's continued existence than to
exhibit at this time the monopoly madness
Of restoring monopoly tariff duties
