Come. Sleep.

Come. Sleep, on downy pinions drifting,
My weary spirit softly lifting,
Bear it away
From haunts of day
To that dim land where all things SUM-
Der,
The realm of death that is not death.
Where nodding peoples without number
Fill all the air with drOwsy breath.
Where the winds faint upon their way.
Where falling streams dissolve in spray,
And all is ended, naught begun.
There, where no web of care is spun
By fingers of the yelled Hours,
Where, heavy-lidded droop the flowers,
With dews OF peace forever wet,
In Lethe's pool. still and deep,
oh lave. oh drown my spirit. Sleep!

Admirable in Form and Substance

1t is not a mere commonplace of respect
for the chief magistrate to say that Pres
ident Mckinleys message Is admirable
in form and substance. He Is never UNI
der the necessity in his public utterances
Of endeavoring to command attention by
laborious attempts at style of solemn
majesty. He invariably says what he has
to say In simple. vigorous English. but he
has the happy faculty of imparting in
terest TO his expression of ideas by his
manner of expressing them. Aft
er an approving reference to the tariff
law as a great transaction wisely COM
pleted at the extra session, the President
passes at once to a lucid discussion Of the
currency question. and proposes that
simple measure for the security of the
treasury of which he had already per-
mtted the country to obtain an accurate
forecast.

Portland Express: Said a Portland
man the other day: OverproductiOn is
the cause of the present dizziness in
business. If all factories would run on
an eight hour schedule this condition
would be improved but of course such
a plan must be general. Another cause
can be found in the industrial develop
ment of the South. Northern mills have
long supplied the Southern markets
with manufactured goods but the erec-
ton of mills in the South makes new
competitors for the same customers. A
Northern mill owner who builds mill
in the South must send its products to
the same markets to which he has
hitherto been sending the products Of
his Northern mill.

Prof. e. B. Andrews, president of

flee because the corporation which owns
the property desired that he do not
again give expression to his views on
the money question. President An
drews is a bimetallist, as Professor
Walker and many other eminent col

gentlemen and therefore is prudent in
the use of language, and being man
of refinement and culture, he is care
full not to give offense by speaking out
of time. While he is a bimetallist, he
has not paraded his views before the
public in speeches, nor by publishing
letters, articles, pamphlets or books.
He has only expressed his views in pri-
vate conversation and in personal let
ters to friends without the least degree
intending or expecting to affect the
trend of politics.
But John d. Rockefeller, among
others, had promised a large contribu-
ton to Brown, and when he learned
that it's president believed in bimetal-
lism, he withheld the check and mott
fed the corporation accordingly. Hence

ABOUT TIE FALL OF SILVER.

The law Of supply and demand, as
to a great many things, has become OBJ
solete. The stock broker, the specu-
lator and the usurer have become
powerful factors in the market. They
manipulate commodities as boys do
marbles. They live off the losses Of
other men. Their business is to steal
according to law Nobody believes
that the withdrawal of gold from the
national treasury in 1893 and the year
following was occasioned by a legiti-
mate demand for gold coin to be used
in the transaction of the peoples busi-
ness; but everybody who knows any
thing about it believes it was part of
the conspiracy to fasten a gold basis
on the people and at the same time to
make profits out of the sale OF bonds.
So now, any careful observer can see
the footprints Of the gold gamblers in
