There are indications that France and
Russia are drawing apart. 1t was in
evitable that the Greece Turkish conflict
would create a strain Oh the friendship
of these powers. Apparently Russia has
been unfriendly to Greece, while France
is necessarily i'll the opposite temper to
this. Thus the dual alliance, the I'M
natural league of the republican and the
Cossack, can hardly survive this strug-
gle, even if both powers keep out of the
conflict. There is room for new triple
alliance in Europe, one which will COM
prise England, France and Italy.

More Money I'm Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money in circula-
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be on a food tide. For more than
a twelvemonth now the amount of
States has been steadily on the increase.
July /, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was In the process of incuba-
ton and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the circu
lating medium, the total money in cir
culation in the United States was ST.
500, 725, 200, making $21.15 per capita on
an estimated population of II, 900.
November 1, 1896, on the eve of the
election, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
a debased and deprecated currency, the
money In circulation was $1,627, $685.
Ola, making S22.63 per capita on an es-
timated population of 1902, 900.
March /, 1897, on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of ST.
675,694,953, making s23.14 per capita on
an estimated population of PALS, 900.
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months it amounted to
S165,969,753, or more than So per capita
OF the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high-water marks
the per capita circulation is still S1.3o
below that of 1892, just before the panic.
But the per capita is now higher than
it was in 1890 or any year in the history
of the republic prior TO that. Then
why are the times not as good as they
were along in the late SOS? Simply
because good times depend on public
confidence and industrial activity, and
not on the amount of money in circula-
ton. This is simply the teaching of the
old proverb that nimble sixpence is
better than a slow shilling.-Chicago

The following from the Howard City

The following from the Howard City
Record are just our sentiments: 1.-The
Record is in receipt of two recent COM
munications from the Tariff Reform
Club, of New York, and our experience
is similar, perhaps to that OF many
other Michigan papers in this respect,
in which they purpose to furnish us an
unlimited quantity of stereotype plates,
of tariff reform matter absolutely free,
if we will print it in this great family
journal OF course this is very
generous offer on their part, but we
are compelled to decline it, and are
also moved to wonder where this club,
representing party WHICH claimed all
during the past campaign % be finan-
cially busted, gets the money to in
dulge in such generosity. 1t costs a
lot of money TO do what they propose
to do, not only in Michigan, but we
learn that the same proposition is being
made in other western states. Who
pays the freight" anyway? Who puts
up the needful for this proposed cam
paign of education?" What trust or
monopoly is providing the means for
them to slather around i'll this reckless
manner?
Having tried tariff reform in big
doses for four years we have no desire
for another dose of the same thing.
We may not always have shown the
wisdom of Solomon and at times may
have wobbled little in our judgment,
but we draw the line upon the intima-
ton that we are such jay as this cir
cular assumes or presumes US to be-
We want the Tariff Reform Club to
understand that we are onto their
curves, and that if they empty the
United States treasury again and COM
pell this government OF ours to borrow
money in time of peace and plenty, and
put out the fire in American furnaces,
set millions of working men adrift and
spoil our markets for hogs, cattle, corn,
eggs and things and play smash gener-
ally with all our country's interests,
merely to help lot of New York inn
porters to flood this land of the free and
home of the brave with cheap goods
upon which they can make protit-if
they succeed i'll doing this again they
will have to do it without the help of

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
Senator Jones Admits That There Can
He Hut One Standard Of value.


He Hut One Standard of Value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value.
any more than 1t can maintai n more
than one standard of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, or more
than one standard of length. If there
be two or more standards of different
value, the standard of lower value will
In practice become the only standard.
If one goes into the market, the law
being that yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feet in length.
II he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that a ton shall be either 1000 or 2,240
pounds, he will receive tons of 1000
pounds each. If he buys potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that a bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, If the law be
that dollar is either gold coin, with
bullion value equal TO its face value,
or q silver coin, with a bullion value of
only half its face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell
ers of the carpets, the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid In dollars of the lesser
value.
There never has been and there never
can be in any country at any time BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create a double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences Of injustice with refer
ence to past contracts and uncertainty
with reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report of the silver commission of 1876
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is a variance between the legal
and market relations of the metals the
standard would be practically based Oh
one metal, and II the cheaper and more
available one" The financial history Of
the United States and of France furnish
conclusive evidence of the accuracy of
the senator's view ON this point.-C.

The Best Remedy for rheumatism
From The Fairhaven N. " Register.

Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr.. Rowland for the doctor but he had
read of Chamberlain Pain Balm and
instead of going for the physician he
went to the store and secured bottle of
it. His wife did not approve of Mr.
Rowland's purchase ut first, but never
theless applied the Balm thoroughly and
in an hours time was able TO 90 to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or pain and finds that it
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did
her as much good. The 2j and 30 cent
