. If we are going to censure our fel-.
lows, let us at tleast blame them only
for what il them is justly censurable.
People are born into this world With
vastly different outfits Of intelligence,
comeliness and health, and they are
born into vastly different environ.
ments. We should not blame them
for the absence Tof qualities or in
stincts which they had no means of
inheriting, nor for,the lack of knowl-
edge, or manners, or dispositions
which their environments gave them
no opportunity to acquire. If we are
to blame them at an, we ought to linn
it our censure to such faults as they,
might reasonably have avoided. Some
folks try very hard to be good, and
to make the most1and best Of what
they have, but have such distorted
materials to work with that they never
win more than q very moderate sue
cess. Other people don t seem to try
half as hard, but being born sounder,
sweeter, and more sane, with better
wits and better instinct, work out
what is in them under advantageous
conditions and find the best things in
life fairly tumbling into their laps.
They are not really SO d deserving as
their brethren who started with less
and made more effort, but we applaud.
them a great deal more, and like them
a great deal better. .'s{4..z Al Il. !. 4. 5

at him and insist that he is worthless,
and contrast him, to his detriment,
with the five-talent man whom we are
glad to call our friend? We shall pay
for it if we do. It is our affair to help
the one-talent man, if- we can, to get
his poor talent out Of usury. It may
not be possible for us to accomplish
it, but if we avoid him altogether we
shall avoid all chance Of helping him,

upon many occasions, so much the

During all of his years at the head
OF the government he (Mr. Cleveland)
was dlshonoring one of our precious
metals, one of our great products, dis
crediting the price of silver and en-
HANGING the price of gold. He endeav-
ored, even before his Inauguration to
office. to stop the coming of silver dol
lars, and afterwards and to the end of
his administration persistently used his
power to that end. He was determined
to contract the circulating medium and
demonetize one of the coins of COM
merce, limit the volume Of money
among the people, make money scarce,
and therefore dear. He would have
increased the value of money and d.
mlnished the value of everything else

fall in the value of the precious
metals, caused by the greater facility
OF their production, or by the discov-
cry OF new sources of supply, depends
in no degree on the theories of philoso-
piers or the decision of statesmen or
legislators, but is the result of circum-
stances beyond human control; and
although like fall of rain after a
long course of dry weather, it may be
prejudiciai to certain classes, it is ben.
eficial to an incomparably greater
number, including all who are engaged
in industrial pursuits, and is, speaking
generally, of great public or national

Very Plain Words.

At the session October 80, 1879 Of
the Belgian Monetary Commission,
Professor Laveleye said:
Debtors, and among them the state,
have the right to pay in gold or sill
yer, and this right cannot be taken
away without disturbing the relation
Of debtors and creditors, to the pref
udce OF debtors, to the extent of per-
haps one-half, certainly of one-third.
TO increase all debts at a blow
(blusquement), is a measure so violent
so revolutionary, that l cannot believe
that the government will propose it,
or that the chambers will vote it.

From Hume's Essay on Money.


1t is certain that since the discov-
cry Of the mines in America industry
has increased in all the nations of
Europe We find that in ev-
cry kingdom into which money begins
to flow in greater abundance than for
merly, everything takes new face;
labor and industry gain life; the mer-
chant becomes more enterprising; the
manufacturer more diligent and skill
full, and even the farmer follows his
pillow with greater alacrity and atten-
ton. 1t is of no matter of
consequence with regard to the domes-
tic happiness of state whether money
be in greater or less quantity The
good policy of the magistrate consists
only in keeping it, if possible, still in
creasing; because by that means he
keeps alive spirit of industry in the
nation and increases the stock of labor.
IN which consists all real power and
riches. A nation whose money de-
creases is actually at that time weak
er and more miserable than another
nation which possesses no more mon.
ey, but is on the increasing hand

NJ. Wolowski, before a French mon.
etary convention in 1869. said:
The sum total of the precious metals
is reckoned at fifty millions, one-halt
gold and one-half silver If, by stroke
of the pen, they suppress one of these
metals in the monetary service. they
double the demand for the other metal
to the ruin of all debtors.
