when Mr. Whiting played Schumann's quartet. op.

CHAPTER II.

more frequently the dreams have been

languid pulse beating faster. There

pears at the opening in the curtains.
see the light of a great Joy leap sud-
denly to her eyes, as she comes to-
ward me.
''Nladimir.." There is q whole
world of Joy in her u%tterance. She has
my hand in hers. and our eyes meet
in one long look of unutterabie Salts
faction.
i 60 but to get thee thy medicine"
she says, and stroking the back OF my
hand with her disengaged one:
''Thinkest thou I would leave thee? I
cannot if I would-thou knowest |
could not!'
l released her lingeringly, and
watched her glide away, throwing back
at me q tender glance, and a nod ere
she disappears
lie quite still, listening to the
rustic Of her dress as she moves about.
There is tho fainu clink of china and
she is at my side again. raising me-
with her soft arm about my shoulders,
while she puts a cup to my lips.
Nov thou must drink this, nor
leave a drop" she says, with a little
air of authority.
[ do not object If it were poison.
and held to my lips by Marucsha, l
would swallow it; but it is bullion, and
the fumes recommend it to my stom-
"ch. When | have drunk it, she deity
turns my pillow and lays me back.
Nov thou wilt sleep"
She takes up a bit OF needlework
from the easy chair, but goes and sits
where she is out of the range Of nv
vision.
Where l can see thee. I pray thee,
Maruscha!" l plead.
She bends forward. WILT thou not
be content, :wilful onc?" she murmurs
Yet she goes to her easy chair, facing
me. though she shakes her head.
AS she sits before me. bending over
her work, and | gazing at her, | see &
shyness come over her. such as | have
never G before. The rosy bushes
dye her fair skin. and. as if to hide
them, her head droops lower.

Der Of unemployed in this city been
SO large as just now 1t is not merely
the laboring classes who are the suf-
ferers, but those who may be described
as professional men, the clerks, the

thing for the sake of living, are for
the first time in their lives unable to

We do not know positively whether
Or not Japan has adopted the gold
standard. If she has, II ceases to
coin silver, and makes all her money
redeenable in gold alone, she has en-
tered Ipon the road to ruin. Her ruin
will not be immediate, because it will
take some time to get rid Of the silver
she low has, o II to curGail CT limit her
paper circulation to make the value of
her money equal to gold. If the gold
trust is really putting Japan on a gold
basis it is wise in taking a little time
to get the people accustomed to falling
prices and ~StagnatiOn in business. If
Japan enters into competition with the
rest Of the world for sold, it will raise
the price of the commodity gold as
compared with all other property, and
to that extent force down prices in
this coultry. The go!l combination
seems determined to make all tho
world buy gold and increase the value
of gold-trust property. The debts Of
the world are now sufficient to give the
gold om),nation absolute control Of
the labor of all mankind and reduce
the mcssns to poverty, want, and Ill
innate feudal slavery. Will the people
Of the United States suDIlit to the loss

tinue to vote themselves and their

When Has a Country Money Enough?

When Has a Country Money Enough?
When general prices are substantial
~ table there is money enough and
not too much. All the Money which
~clrculates and all the property for sale
are reciprocally the supply and demand
TOR each other. When the volume of
money increases faster than business,
general prices rise; and when the vol
ume OF money decreases general prices
fall. General prices furnish the gauge
or measure of the quantity OF money
required Tor legitimate business. The
value of each dollar, or unit of money,
depends upon the number Of dollars,
or units. Money measures the value of
all property by volume, while a yard
stick measures by length. There must
be more than n point to measure
distance, and there must be more than
one object to create value. Value is
estimation of the relative utility Of
different, objects. The value of a dol
lar is what it will buy, and what it
Will buy IS the value Of a dollar.
Parity between different kinds Of
money will take care Of :tsclf, and is
too trid:ng for consideration. The only
parity required by monetary science,
and by justice and fair dealing, is par
1ty between money and property. The
preservation of parity between money
ana property, that justice may be done,
is the end and aim Of all monetary
science.

Why Is 1t?

- ~ SAANS >AS . 80 Nv vi
Europe prefer Turkish atrocities to the
rights of the Greeks and the Christian
inhabitants Of the Ottoman empire?
Because the concentrated capital of
Europe, which controls the govern
ments, does not want Turkish bonds
repudiated.
Why does Great Britain want an arbi-
tration treaty with the United States
when it has been the avOwed policy of
the United States to settle all disputes
with foreign nations by arbitration for
more than a hundred yexrs? Because
Great Britain wants to tie the hands of
the United States so hat this country
can not maintain the Monroe doctrine
and defend the republics of the western
hemisphere against the territorial ag-
gressiOns of England.
Why would the arbitration treatv
prevent the United States from main
tanning the Monroe doctrine? Because
under the treaty all disputes would be
determined according to international
law, and the Monroe doctrine is not
recognized as International law.
Why does the treaty provide that the
judges of the federal courts shall be
the arbitrators? Because if the arbi-
traitors were appointed by the presi-
dent hy and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate they might be
unwilling to sacrifice the interests of
the United States in favor of Great Bri-
tain.
