city The above statement is just as
applicable to money as to comodities,
though our financirrs seem Obliyious
of the facts, ye0 we find expressions
of politicians who belong to the Diff
ferent parties, that large supply Of
currency will increase prices. But
high prices are not wanted by the
wealthy class, because they buy every
thing, therefore low prices will en-
able them to buy valuable property
for a song. But the interest Of the
producers and all other classe is best
subserved by high prices, because they
sell everything. We are told that the
working man is far better off when
low prices prevail, for a dollar will
buy so much more than it will when
prices are high. 1t is true high
priced dollar will buy much more than
a cheap dollar, but how about the
chances of getting the dear dollars
when business is stagnated aud labor
creases to be in demand, even at low
wages, and thousands, upon thous-
ands of willing hands are thrown out
of employment! No one finds fault
with gold as being of no value, but
many are conyinced that the scarcity
of the yellow metal renders it unfit
for the entire needed volume of the
circulating medium of exchange.
The practice of increasing the vol
umc of currency with anything that
needs retention is, 10 say the least,
IA miserable subttrTuge. BY this in
ceasing the volume of currency it re-
veals the fact that the champions of
the gold standard know right we'll
that gold alone cannot furnish enough
money for the wants OF trade. The
substitution of bank notes for pri-
mary money is reprehensible, because
the decreased volume of rcdeemuble
currency encourages in expansion of
business adjusted to the fictitious vol
ume, consequently whenever an unu-
sual demand for gold accrues, the
substitute if Withdrawn from circu-
lation brings on panics. 1t
seems to iie that all our circulating
medium should be legal tender, and
all of it issued by congress direct to
the people. Then congress would not

"Finally my highwayman placed me
in the coach again, with whispered
request for some Remembrance ring
or anything. AS he had it in his power
to take rings and anything else, I
slipped off turquoise and gave it to
him. He placed it on his third finger
above a diamond, and as the diamond
flashed, saw tiny cross cut into its
surface. Nothing else was taken from
me. l was not even searched, and with
a courtly bow, my knight of the road
and his companions vanished as sud-
denly as they had come.

by my sister in her efforts to make my

to take part.

"The dancing had been going on for

to think of some romantic reason that
would account for his mode of life. His

shone on me with world of laughter

EXPENSIVE WAR HISTORY.
II HAS Cost the United states Up TO Data

It Has Cost the United stAtes Up TO Date
sa.aoo,ooo.
The most expensive book that wa1
ever published in the world 1t the Of :
ficial history of the war OF the rebellion,
which is now issued by the governments
of the United States Mt q cost, up to date,
of s., 1884 1923. OF this amount 81. ls4, 30t
has been paid for printing and binding.
The remainder was expended for SAL
aries, rent, stationery and other con-
tingent and miscellaneous expenses,
and for the purchase OF records from
private individuals.
It will require ut lcnst three years
longer and an appropriation of perhaps
5000, 1000 to complete the work, so thne
the total cost will undoubtedly reach
nearly 100000. 1t will consist OF
112 volumes, including an index and an
atlas, which contains 17S plates and
maps, illustrating the important battles
OF the war, campaigns. routs Of march
plans Of forts aud photog raphs Of inter- s
esting scenes, places and persons.
Most of these pictures are taken from
photographs made by the late NJ. b
Brady, of Washington. Several years
ago the government purchased his stock
Of negatives. Each volume will, there
fore, cost on nm average Of about e2s..
1855, which probably exceeds the cost or
any book Of the kind that was ever Is
Eued. Copies are sent free to public
libraries, and $4,000 have been 90
distributed. The atlas cost S22.
The remainder of the edition is sold !
at prices ranging from so cents TO %
cents per volume. But there does not
seem 10 be large popular demand. for
only 1894 copies have been sold, for .
total OF s6o.154. The books can be OBJ
tanned by addressing the secretary on
war.
The material used in the preparation
Of these histories is taken from both the
federal and confederate archives. The
reports of commanders OF armies, corps
brigades, regiments, ETC., are carefully
edited and arranged SO us 70 give o con-
secutiye account OF all cngngcmentas

The angel reaper death has come,
And called her from our midst
Yes, called her from our hearts and
home
To better world than this.
On Heavens shore with the redeemed.
Thy little darling stands
With crown Of victory on her brow
And harp within her hands.
Angels lowered Ger her pillow.
As she babe farewell to life,
Bearing all its pain and sorrow.
All its bitterness and strife.
See there Is no trace of illness
On this little darling now.
For the Savior wiped all traces
OF his suffering from her brow.
Mother weep not for thy darling
Father. smile and look above,
Gay is safe from sin and sorrow
In land of peace and love.
Loving brother grieve not sorely;
Live to meet your sister there.
Where no pain or fierce temptation
Ever reach that land SO fair.
Though the tears be sad and lonely,
And you miss each little hand;
Think of her among the angels
Over in fair Bulah land.
Up among the angel children
You may see your little one.
Then by faith look up to Jesus,
Saying Lord thy will be done.
