Abundance Of Agricultural FFosEEls
AIa1e VIII Not Bring Prosperity.
Our ability to maintain the gold
standard without Tesorting to the
Cleveland makeshift Of borrowing gold
hinges on the prospect Of bohntiful har-
vests at home and short crops abroad.
If these prospects are fulfilled there
will be a great demand for our agTieul-
turaI products. as there was last year,
the merchandise balance wiz be kept
greatly in our favor, and thus the neces-
sity Of shipping gold obviated and the
danger Of a depleted gold reserve AVERT
ed for the time being. If We cannot find
a ready market for our surplus agTi-
cultural products and get at least as
good prices as we got last year we viii
be brought face 70 face with a crisis.
The mere fact Of having bountiful
crops is not enough in itself to avert
crisis in our monetary affairs. We
must be able to get prices sufficiently
high to enable US to build up great
favorable trade balance with which to
pay our foreign charges incurred on
other accounts than the purchase OF
eommodities-eharges that are largely
fixed and we cannot avoid. And such
favorable trade balance we cannot hops
to build up with prices any lower than
we got last year, for thereis a limit to
our ability to export and the debt-pay-
ing power Of exports falls alarmingly
with falling prices.
We are promised a return of prosper
ity, but prosperity is for us a question
of prices for farm products. We have
promise OF good crops, but as the New.
York Herald remarks with a rare dash
Of wisdom; "While small crops imply
insufficient employment for labor and
restricted tonnage for the railways it
is evident that an abundance of agricul-
tural products alone win not bring
prosperity unless they can be sold at
fair prices"
And is there a prospect Of getting fair
prices2 Not if we cause gold to con-
tlnue to appreciate.-American.

LhS hlOndike Fever SEbstdinS Owing TO
DiscOUraging Reports.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-During
the past week the Klondike fever has
abated somewhat in this city, owing,
probably, to the discouraging reports
received from Dyea. There are plenty
of people who announce their inten-
ton of trying the Chilkoot route in
the spring. and of those who are anx-
ious to go at once q large proportion
seem disposed to travel via St. Michael
and up the Yukon. Promoters of ex-
petitions by this route are ready with
profuse assurances that the trip can be
made before the closing of navigation,
but in all cases they are careful not to
bind themselves in any way to take
passengers through this fall. At the
offices of the steamship companies it
is reported that the inquiry for tickets
Is diminishing.

Odd Women.

Lovers and admirers of the fair sex
and who is not comprised within that
classified alton ?-would find a book that
might very well be written about wom-
en- remarkable for some physical or
mental peculiarities unusually interest
ing. AS a sample of the curious stories
that might be collected, let the reader
mark and digest the following: There
was Mrs. Dorothy Collier, whose death
is recorded in the public journals for
1864. She was the largest woman of
her time, weighing upward of 80 stone,
and yet was very active" as we are
assured. Her coffin was two yards two
inches in length, yard and four inches
broad, and two feet six inches deep,
which proves that Mrs. Golfers hus-
band could have had no reason to COM
plain on the score of quantity. Then
we have Mrs. Sarah Rawlins, who mar
ried at 10 years of age, and lived with
her husband 27 years. during which
period she had IA children. Her sec
ond husband she also lived with 27
years, and the number OF her children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren
at her decease was no less than 329, ''of
whom" says the chronicler, in 1851,
"1s2 are now living" and very re-
spectacle progeny, too.-N. Y. Ledger.

ITS TRUE SPIRIT.
Christmas the Festival of Child.
hood.

Christmas is the festival of childhood.
Whose would enjoy it truly must be in
heart even as a little child. It's ecstasies
are in self-forgetfulness in the better
ment of others. Its highest celebration
is in helping our neighbors TO be happy
and thus sharing our happiness with
them. There is no happiness compar-
able to love. and the happiness grows
greater as the love embraces more and
more our ellow-beings. That is the
best Christmas time in which one feels
most acutely the actually of kinship
with all the world. 1t is the child that
is the real democrat. for, as Emerson
has it, he makes children of all the
adults that gather around him, levels
them 10 his own simplicity. The man
who has the child-heart is the man
whose interest in himself is most
merged into interest for his fellow
creatures. Though one may have felt
sin and shame and sorrow he may as
suage them all in the promotion Of the
happiness of others Love is the only
anodyne, and giving it out it returns
upon US as manifold as the objects upon
which If is bestowed. That man who
awakens the Christmas spirit in the
hearts about him will find it subtly
stealing from them to his own, and
will, almost unknowing, find bitter dis
possessed by sweet, and warmth
usurping cold therein. This world is
very fair and charity makes it all the
fairer when its glow reminds US of ''the
long, long night that death shall last"
Christmas feeling makes the most of
the now. 1t atones for the after-the
deluge or the dark. II is real life to
live, if but for week, day. moment,
in full sympathy of helping with our
fellows. If we can make others forget
the past we may forget our own. If
we can but give to others a little of the
antidote of kindliness for the poison of
the present we shall find our own to-day
less hopeless. And the future is formed
Of the spirit that animates to-day. The
real feeling of Christmas must blossom
into acts.-Detroit Free Press.

Mr.. Dingley himself wishes there
were more holes in his tariff wal.-St.

a revenue deficit is the legitimate
result of a surplus of protection.-N.
Y. World.
-Congressman Dingley has been

the Fifty-ffth congress. He doesn't
even suggest the passage of tariff bill
which win gather reyenue.-St. Paul
Globe.
The biggest visible thing the Nc
Kinley administration has developed is
the deficit in the treasury, but that is
nothing compared to the deficit in the
pockets of the people through the pro-
lection afforded to trusts under the
Dingley law.-Louisville Dispatch.
Chairman Dingley insists that his
law is all right as a revenue producer,
but that economy win be necessary in
the appropriations. He Is almost as
ingenious as the man who heightened
his trousers legs by cutting OF a slice
at the top and adding 1t to the bottom.

ExTRAvAeANcE AND PAP.
The DingIey-McKinley System or
Reduction.

The DinEIey-McKinley system or
Reduction.
On the 1st of March, 1898, the total
Understanding debt of the United
States was $5s5, o34, 26o.
On November 80. 1897, it is $s47, $685.
$40.
That is to say, in time of profound
peace the governments bonded debt
has been increased by no less than $780,
331 800, simply because the revenues
have not equaled the expenditures.
And now the nation is spending every
month $4,000. 900 more than its income.
with the certainty of still further bond
issues if something is not done to in
crease revenue or to cut down ex-
penses.
This is the situation that confronts
congress.
Yet the people are enormously taxed.
If what they pay all went into the treas
ury the whole national debt would be
speedily extinguished and a reduction
of taxation would become a pressing
necessity.
The trouble is that under the Ding
ley-McKinley system the greater por-
ton of what the people pay goes not
into the treasury but into the Golfers of
protected" and trust-manipulating
monopolies.
On the other hand the expenditures
of the government are enormously in
excess of the actual need, because a
very great proportion of the appropria-
tons is made simply to serve party pur-
poses, or, in plain words, to buy votes
with bounties.
What a monument the present con-
gress could build for itself If it had the
courage to deal with this matter ra-
tionally and honestly, cutting of all
unjust appropriations and levying
taxes with sole reference to the replen-
ishment of the treasury. But what a
howl would come up from all the trusts
and all the coddled and pap-fed monop-
oliesl-N. Y. World.
