ONE sentence in the speech of Sec
retary Gage in Boston deserves es-
pecial consideration. Within the
limits of half a lifetime industrial
methods and processes have been
eyolutiOnized; combinationsin in labor,
in trade, in manufacture have super
seeded toa degree the former processes
of individual development 1t is
philosophical to believe that they are
all evolutionary to final
and higher general good-but in
their immediate effects they produce
incidental injury in many directions. 81
The amount of capital that has been
wiped out by improved appliances,
the amount of labor thrown out i'm
one place and not yet absorbed in an
other, the new competition de
veloped by cheaper methods of pro
duetion and transportation, con
stitute a series of economic changes,
not yet completed, which lie back
of currency questions, and which
simply dwarf controversies over
rates of duties on imports. The
secretary is right as to the ultimate
progress involved, but he is also right
as TO the present waste and loss and
suffering which have been wrought
by changes as rapid as they are vast.

Washington, Aug. THE bullion

according TO the market price of silver,
Is just s3 G-1J cents said Mr.. Preston,
the director Of the mint yesterday
"Ths makes the commercial ratio
between silver and gold S6.6 to in

ton. I'm order to make our silver dol
lar equal to a gold dollar, at this rate,
It would have to contain $50 grains Of
silver. If the alloy were added, the
total would be 1858 grains
81 see no future for silver whatever
The market quotations make it 90 cents
an ounce. 1t is my honest opinion that
within six months silver will fan TO 40
cents an ounce There is no demand
for it anywhere. China is not buying
any, Japan IFS out of the business, and
there seems TO be no demand for il
In any country to any extent even for

hard times I'm that country have re-
duced the demand to a minimum.
"I think that the worlds product of

that the supply has not fallen off in any

THE Dingley Tariff bill is now the
assured law of the land, for better or
for worse, until another Congress and
Administration see fit to change it.
We hope for the best under it. The
discovery of gold in the Klondike re
gion, the beneficent dispensation of
Providence that has favored our
country with bountiful harvests, as
against short crop abroad and the
depreciation of silver, which is doing
much to cause the currency question
to disappear as an agitating factor of
alarm and depression-all are finger
boards, pointing to the highway of
prosperity.

yal college this morning an experiment
was conducted that win prove unique
in the realm of science. on the results
attained may depend the ability Of the
state to convict Adolph L. Luetgert, the
sausage manufacturer alleged to have
murdered his wife. In the presence of
number of citizens, medical experts
and experts of the scientific world, a
human body will be subjected to a
solution of crude potash previously
heated to the boiling point. 1t is ex-
pected by those who have carried on
preliminary experiments that inside of
three hours time not a vestige Of a
human being win remain, not even the
smallest fibre of a bone.
