There was formerly one class of goods" said
a man who had been to Europe often enough to
appreciate what a tax it is TO bring back pros.

are called drcss-suit cases here were considered
the best only when they were brought from Lon
don. But ! find that the situation IN this par
ticular has changed entirely within the last few
years. Now a man can buy as good a bag on
broadway as he can in Bond street, and not have
opay any greatdiferenc in price. The articlesin
this line still in greatest demand are. I admit, OF
English manufacture and the supremacy in that
line has not yet been taken away from tho Eng

make their work the proper thing. But the

an area OF 500 900 miles Ia territory larger than
Mexicol, and has a population OF nearly 10000

home country. In one particular, however, the
possession, even In name, of the control of tho
Congo State, south OF the Soudan and north Of
Zambesi, has had a favorable commercial effect
In Belgium in booming the trade Of Antwerp, the
chief port OF Belgium, the foundation OF which
is traced TO the eleventh century. Antwerp has
become the great European market for African

Ono day, after Mr.. Stanley had found Living
stone on the shores OF Lake T~anganyika, the old
explorer told the newspaper man that he had
heard of O river which the natives called tho
Rusih at the north end of Lake Tanganyika.
Livingstone said he believed that the waters Of
the big Lake found their way to the Nile, and
that the Rusizi was their outlet The two men
agreed that they would go north and look at this
river. and so they manned q boat with native
paddlers and set out for tho north end OF the
lake along the rocky shores. This shore line Is
1000 miles long and ten tribes. most OF them In.
dustrious and peaceful. live along the coast en-
gaging in agriculture and fishing.
At last the explorers reached the north end of
the lake and found the river, where q little sur
prise was In store for Livingstone. The river
flows into the lake. 1t Is an %aifiuent, not an
effiuent. 1t Is by far the largest tributary OF Tam

In Washington the effect on dlsmis-

they are better still. There come

Down goes silver. Down with the
bullion, until the silver dollar is
worthless, and silver mines are value
less. To prove our theory of the gold
standard let us destroy one American
industry, at least; if necessary destroy
more; silver is worth nothing but for
plating and money; we sold S61 ,OOO,-
600 worth to foreigners last year at
one-half price; let us sell it to them
at one-fourth price, or one-tent h
price; all other commodities are to go
up In price but silver must go down,
down, down; it would run out the gold
standard theory to haYe it go up; so
down with silver. When that is all
done, OF course we must borrow gold
to redeem every one of our 5000, ,OOO, 900
silver incirculation. See?
