Prosperity and Currency Reform.

Commenting upon the favorable ef-
! fects of the rise in wheatAnd the col.
| lapse of free silver theories The Finan-
| cial Chronicle says: with all the man
ifest advantages arising from this re-
markable situation there is one serious
danger. Our currency system has been
tried and found deplorably wanting. Its
friends affirm that the currency trou-
bles during the past seven years have
been result of financial and industrial
distress. This, from one point of view,
is true, but people who accept this as a
conclusive answer strangely overlook
the fact that such result is the most
serious indictment of the system.
"When all commercial conditions
unite TO favor country's industries, it
may with impunity take large risks and
enter on dangerous experiments. Fiat
money seemed to be 10 bar to our pros
perity in the early seventies The Bland
silver coinage law was busily at work
in 1879 and 1880, yet it had, so far as
any observer could discover at the time.
10 especially baleful influence on the
country S prosperity. In the fall of 1891
there were plenty of political oracles to
point out the fact that good times were
returning in the face of the silver pur-
chase act of 1890.
"But what value is 10 be seriously
put on currency systems good only for
favorable times in trade? What, for in
stance, would the world have said of
the English currency system if it had
satisfied every body in the smooth sail
ing of 1883 and 1889 and then collapsed
into general discredit during the storm
of 1890? If it is true that we need the
surest and most invulnerable currency
in the world TO sustain our industries
through these periodical storms which
sweep over an industrial community
then it will reasonably be admitted
that the preparation for such a system
arises.
IF we are TO pass in the future
through other years Of commercial dis
tress-and nobody Is so great an opti
mist as to argue that trade reactions
are gone forever-we surely ought. as
an intelligent people, to provide that
in such an event our whole system of
public and private finance, government
and individual credit, need not be swept
down simultaneously The time to place
our own currency on a sound and stable
footing is the immediate future, while
our industries are still feeling the I'M
pulse Of this years favorable accident
of nature, along with the discovery Of
what our own productive possibilities
actually are.
1--WE have sufficient faith in the pres
ent treasury administration TO believe
that first move Will be made in such
direction before this year is over.

Wages Deto-e and Since 1878.

Thirteen years before the "crime Of
'73," according TO the United States
census of 1850, the average wage per
annum paid to each person was sass.
Seventeen years after that catastrophe
the average had increased to $iS4. That
is, the wage Garner Of 1890 got 6S per
cent more than did the wage Garner Of
1860. Not only that. but each dollar of
1890 would buy more Of the necessities
and comforts Of life than would each
dollar of 1860 Does the wage Garner
think that he gets too many dollars or
that his dollars buy too much? How
many crimes like that of 1873 could he
stand2

Matinee and evening.
AL. G. Field has been getting
material for an exhibition for the
past two years. All his plans have
matured and his big colored min
strel company will soon be here.
Fifty genuine southern negros will
depict the oddities of negro life on
the old plantation. A negro brass
band and orchestra, military COM
pany in drills are a few of the many
features. After a short tour of
the company will sail for
thence to continental
Europe, England and Scotland,
returning to America in 1898. They
will travel in their own private
sleeping. dining and baggage cars.
1t is the largest negro show ever
organized to travel.

I could for the mist in my eyes,

had the heart to try, has never been
