for catching dogs was thrown over his

An "AIleged" sce.re.

There are some advantages in the
use of the word "alleged" in order
to avoid libel. A reporter had been
incautious in a statement, possibly
: true enough, but had been warned
to be more careful. The reporter in
this way extended the application

increase In proportion to the in'
crease of gold and silver.
Then 1t was proposed to demone-
tize gold, there being nearly four
times as much gold produced as
there was of silver, This effortfail-
ed to a great extent because the
Uuited States refused to consider
the proposal. $3.50 E~jl '
The worlds Indebtedness was in
creasing, but so was the production
of gold and silver. Then a syste-
matte attempt was made to de-
monetize silvtr, and was continued
until in 1878 it was accomplished.
At that time the production of gold
per year was Sl25,0O0,0OO, and OF
silver $50, 100000. The debts Of the
world were $3O,OOO,OO0,06O, and il
would have required nearly six
years production of the gold and
silver of the world to pay 4percent
interest on the debt.
One of the latest estimates of the
worlds Indebtedness places it al
S3I, coo, 100000 for national debts
and about $33, 0,OOO,OO0 for muni.
cipal, with about the same amount
for corporate debts, grand total
of about 100000 100000. The gold
product of the world is about $3.50,
100000. 1t would take sixteen years
product of the gold to pay the in
terest on the debt. s.
In 1916 the debt was sixty times
the annual product Of the money
metals. In 1878 the debt had grown
to be one hundred and forty times
the product of the money metals
and now, with gold only as money
the debts is four hundred times the
value OF the product of money. H

advised by his friends to take the
gold cure, but he refused. "But, !"
protested his friends, "your physi-

Now, the question is simply this,
Do you prefer being cured Of the
drink habit and retaining your
sight, or do you prefer to keep on

It was just before 2 o'clock in the

enough way from across the sea to
climb up part way on the big globe
and cast pale gray light over the
awakening city. Iuborers and shop
girls were hurrying to work, shiv-

the suddensappearance of winter.
On the bridge crossing the canal

All three loudly brayed, and the
chorus of "Enh -hows' awoke the

Lines were thrown and in a few
minutes the canalboats were tied
fast to the bank. Three detected

were soon taken by the timekeepers.

On THE resolution introduced by
Senator Allen, on July Z, Henry
NJ. Teller made one of the most re-
markable speeches ever delivered
in the Senate of the United States.
1t was not a prepared speech. "Out
of the fullness of the heart the
mouth speaketh," and this was
surely the case with Senator Teller.
Not in many moons has such close
attention been paid to a speech by
any Senator. There ought TO be a
million copies distributed over the
country. 1t is a terrific arraign-
ment of the Republican party, not
OH the monetary question alone,
but on its Cuban policy, which the
Senator said was dictated in the
interest "of dividends, the price of
