THE SEVEN STARS OF SPRING.


When the recurring rapture of the spring
Puts a new heart of grace in everything,
When meadows with the cowslip armies I'LL,
And through the woods march troops of
daffodil;
When the gray ~cloud-Iack, driving DER the
blue
Before the wild southwest, let stars look
through
Seven wreathed lights their splendors inter
i lace,
Blessing the spring from their high dwell
ing place.
SO dewy-moist, of such a smiling mien.
Fraught with soft hints of tender blue and
green,
white,
spring night.
Surely some night of buds long while ago.
Seven blossoms of the spring in dreams did
know
m IN elves through breathless space up
borne, and felt
The ; 'eet wood-odors and wood-shadows
Iheit;
ana say" great stars with golden ulaoem
From sparkling thrones lean down TO well
come them;
And heard the spheral music sweeping by,
Replace the lowly brooks low melody.
White daisy, yellow %celandine, pale star
Of .rose-tipped wind-iower p~etals-there
they are
With speedwelI blue blent in sweet sister,
hood,
And pure eyed primrose of the messy wood
And c~rimson-veined sorrel delicate,
And creamy joDquil these dwell constel-
late
Above the world, remote from storm or rain.
In dreams revisiting their copse again.

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
senator Jones Admits That There Can BE
but One Standard of Value,

but One Standard of Value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value,
any more than it can maintain 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.
II one goes into the market, the law
being that a yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at a fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feet in length.
If he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that a ton shall be either 2, 900 or 2, $40
pounds, he will receive tons of 1000
pounds each. If he buy 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 a dollar is either a gold coin, with
a bullion value equal to its face value,
or a 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 neve has been and there never
can be in any country at any time a 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 reference
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 le-
gal and market relations of the metals
the standard would be practically based
on metal, and it the cheaper and
more available one." The financial his
tory of the United States and of France
furnish conclusive evidence of the accu-
racy of the senator's view on this point.

More Money In Circulation.

II there was any actual relation be
tween the quantity of money in c~ircula-
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be on a food tide. For more than
a twelvemonth now the amount of mon
ey in circulation in the United States
has been steadily on the increase. July
/, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was i'll 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. 10 per capita
on an estimated population of II, $780,
900.
Nov. l, 1896, on the eve of the cleo
ton, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
a debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was 81, 627, 055,-
GA, making $22. So per capita on an es-
timated population of II, 902, 900.
March l, 1897, on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation in the United States had
fioCh W IN uhpISNSuOIbCd ou11 vi PlJ-
675, 694, 953, making $23. IA per capita
on an estimated population of 72,418,-
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
$165, $50, 1853, or more than So per cap
ita of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still 81. 80
below that Of 1892, just before the pam
ic. 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 eightiesi
Simply because good times depend on
public confidence and industrial actiy-
ity, and not on the amount of money in
circulation. This is simply the teaching
of the old proyerb that a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling
