why SILVER Declines.

Some people express surprise at the
sudden decline in the price of silver that
has occurred recently, says The Dalles
Times -Mountsineer, and wonder what
can be done to bring 1t back to normal
price. That the price Of silver has fallen
should cause no surprise, but how to
bring it back to former quotations is
somewhat of difficult problem. II has
fallen simply because there is no longer
| demand for it as money, and the de-
mand for mechanical uses not keeping
| up to the supply, it, like any other com
modify, must 20 down, just the same as
be eaten, neither can it enter into me-
chsnical uses only in limited quantities.
Therefore when it is deprived Of the
functions of primary money, its price
must be governed by the demand that is
m ade for it in other branches, the same
as governs the price of wheat, wool, cot
ton or iron.
II the factories of the world were
closed to cotton; that is, if there we're no
longer a demand for cotton clothing, raw
| cotton would at once fail to less than the
cost of production, or at least the price
would be governed by the demand for
cotton for the manufacture of rope,
thread, etc. The same is true with refer
ence to silver. 1t is no Ion ger recognized
as the primary money by the leading
commercial nations of the world, and
those who have been boarding it up for
speculation are unloading it upon the
market, since they see the demand stead
lily diminishing. Another cause of the
sudden slump is the attitude OF the Eng
lsh government toward the commission
sent to Europe by President Mckinley to
negotiate an international monetary
agreement. Taking all these causes into
consideration there should he no surprise
at the sudden decline in the price of the
white metal, and If conditions remain
the same, there is no reason why it should
not fall to % cents per ounce or even
lower.
But should demand be caused for
silver by the opening of the minis OF any
nation to free and unlimited coinage into
money, or should it be recognized as a
money metal of ultimate redemption, the
price would suddenly rise. Gold is kept
up simply by the fact of the nations OF
the world, because it is the recognized
standard of values. But should this be
removed for term OF years, it too would
fall even lower than silver comparatively,
for it is less used in the arts and sciences
and in mechanics. There is but one way
to keep up the price of any commodity
and that is by making a demand for it.,
and the only way to create a demand for
either of the precious metals is to make a
use of them as the measure OF values, or
more correctly speaking, as a medium of
unrestricted exchange. Give either of
them this office to perform, and its price
will rise, remove it and the prize falls.

A New Application of Scripture.

There was rejoicing in the village at
the killing of pig. Being dead, it was
cut up; neighbor's cat stole secretly
into the larder, and annexed a piece of
OF pork, which she brought in triumph
to her mistress. Next day the clergy
man of the parish visited the old wom-
an, who recounted to him the remarka-
bic sagacity of the beast. at was quite
beautiful, sir" she said piously, ito see
the way the sweet creature brought me
the piece of pork; it brought to my
mind what we read in the Bible about
Elijah aud the ravens. The Balm.

m,,,,ou. From L,,,,e Fractions.

Leslie's Weekly: There have been in
tie recent years several instances Of sud.

as many weeks; but these instances are
90 rare as to be the sensation of the two
bemispheres.
There are several Thousand people who
are each worth $l,O0O,000 or mo and
there are several more thousand who are
on the road to become millionsires. Ii is
interesting to know that the most OF these
are persons who are getting their riches
on small fractions Of cent. The street
railway magnates. v no are rising to mil
lions and tens Of millions, are fully sat-
isfied with a part OF cent OF the nickel
they collect, because there are 80 many
of them. The sugar kings have reduced
the price and improved the quality Of
sugar, but as long as they get their frac-
ton on each pound the Americans buy
they can make profit all the way from
10 to 80 per cent. The coal oil monopol,
has also reduced the price and improved
the product, hut its little fraction makes
the greatest money. making enterprise in
America. The man Who invented the
patent beer stopper is getting bigger in

THE EGG DANCE.
A Beautiful Feat Performed by Hindo
Juggling Girls.

n beautiful Feot IefIOfmeu Dy HlnOOO
Juggling Girls.
One of the most wonderful of the
many feats performed by Hindoo jug
ylers is the egg dance. Usually it is
executed by a girl Enthusiastically dressed.
She makes use of the willow wheel,
around which at equal distances are
threads, and at the end of each thread
there is a moose, held open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries basket of eggs
on her arm. When the music strikes
up she begins to dance and the wheel
begins TO spin around. She then takes
an egg from the basket, places it in one
of the thread nooses, and throws il
from her with sufficient force to draw
the knot tight. The spinning of the
wheel keeps the thread stretched with
the egg at the end of it.
She then takes another egg from the
basket, places it in another moose, and
repeats this until there is an egg in
every moose. Her fantastic costume,
her perfect motion, and all the eggs
swinging on the stretched threads at
once, presents very pretty sight in
deed. 1t requires much art to execute
the dance, for at one false step the eggs
would be dashed together, the dance
spoiled and the dancer thereby dis
graced.
After dancing for time with all the
eggs swinging around her head, she
takes them out of the moose one by one,
all the time keeping the wheel balanced
and IN motion, and again places them
IN the basket on her arm.
When the dance is finished the spec
,ators are allowed to examine the eggs
20 see that they are real

has a high opinion Of Chinese cookery,
which, he says, is skillfully contrived
to increase the digestibility of the food
prepared. Whenever indigestible meats
are to be used as food, he says, the cook
increases their assimilative character
by the use of peptoniferous tripe and

THE TRUE DEMOCRACY.
Grover CIeveInnd's Anti-DemOcratiC
Position.

In setting forth what true democracy
is Mr.. Cleveland says that "above all
things it insists that the money of the
people should be sound and stable,
neither shriveling in purchasing power
in the hands of the poor, nor by its I'M
certain value driving enterprise and
productive energy into hiding" This is
true, as far as it goes. Democracy,
above all things, insists that the money
by means of which the people make
their changes shall not appreciate in
value to such an extent as to double
their debts-to such an extent as to
cause the products of their labor to
shrivel and shrink in value in their
hands until they are unable to buy
enough money with them to pay their
debts and taxes. Democracy insists that
it is far better for the prosperity of the
country for the purchasing power of
money to "shrivel" than it is for the
purchasing power of the products of the
peoples labor to shrink.
We have seen what an unstable and
unsound dollar has done for the people
even during Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton. 1t has resulted N the prostration
of trade, the paralysis of business and
the destruction of millions of values.
all because the value of the unsound
and unstable dollar has been increasing
in purchasing power, while the prod
ucts of the peoples labor have been de-
creasing in price. Democracy is as fair
to the debtor and the producer as it is
to the owners of capital loaned or in
vested Its whole mission is one of JUS
tice. 1t is not true that rise in gen.
eral prices to the level of 1873 would
work injustice to any class. Those who
are profiting by the shrinllage in the
tlebt-paying and purchasing power of
the products of human labor have no
right to such an advantage, for it is an
advantage that works overwhelming
injustice to the people, and, indeed, to
all classes
We are very glad that Mr.. Cleveland
made his speech. For the first time in
his public career he takes his true posi-
ton; for even through the fog in which
his ideas are enveIoped the people can
see that he has no sympathy whatever
with the fundamental principles of de-
mocracy. He may not be a republican,
but he is an anti-democrat. His associa-
tons and his sympathies are all with
the small class that is enriching itself
at the expense of the peoples prosper

NOT BY THE PEOPLE.
4 Case of Government by the Money
Power.


| Power.
The people last fall voted for curSency
reform, and they looked for and ex-
| pected it, until they were given to I'M
derstand that the republican campaign
promises were only a feature of a sort
of bunco game. a great number of
voters supported the republican candi-
date for the presidency under the as
surance that his election would promote
the interests of the bimetallic cause.
Those voters also were fooled, although
the president has made n show of carry
ing out the pledge of the ST. Louis plat
form. We are not to have any currency
reform; we are not to have bimetallic
policy. We are to have only tariff of
high brand. High tariff has long been
an article of republican faith, and the
leaders would like to put another robber
measure on the statute book, so that if
it should happen to just antedate the
return of prosperity, pure republican
policy would be credited with having
brought good times. The New York
Press Washington correspondent thus
explains the failure of currency legis-
lation to materialize:
Leading republicans know that if the
house should pass a bill reforming the
currency or 20 permit pooling or any legis-
latiOn Objectionable to the silver combine
in the senate the tariff bill would be made
the object of their revenge.
The activity of the house in thrusting
upon the senate corporation or financial
legislation instantly would rekindle with
added fire all the animosities of the cam
paign, and the silver question would jump
to the front. There would be endless de-
bate, and the result would be the fall
ure of everything which is earnestly de-
sired. Above all issues the republican
managers intend to keep the tariff for
ward
There's the whole secret. The repub-
ican party does not want to take any
orders from the people. 1t proposes to
show them that it knows better than
they do what they want, and while
there is something desperate about this
bluff, it will work well if the country
be favored with that prosperity, which,
it is widely believed, viii not return
until something is done to relieve the
stringency that is caused by faulty
currency system. That is, republican
defiance of the will of the people will
go down with the people if it shall prove
to be a success, but the chances for sue
cess are so slender that the republican
leaders may well pause before proceed
ing TO the length of establishing a
policy Of robbery instead of one of re-
lief. They have no notion of pausing,
however, unfortunately for them and
their party.-Binghamton On. W
Leader.
