inconsistencies of siIverites.

Senator Teller and Congressman
Bland are out with statements saying
that the high price of wheat is due to
short crops abroad. After telling us for
years that in some strange way the
prices on silver and wheat we're linked
together so that they could not get far
apart they now express surprise thai
anybody should think that the rise Of
wheat had anything to do with the sill

According to these eminent silver
statesmen, when the price of wheat goes
down it is because of the "crime OF
1875" but when it goes up it is be.

They say truly that if the whole world
has big crops Of wheat next year the

yer to account for its phenomenally low
price? Increased production and de
creased demand have lowered the price OF
silver just as certainly as decreased
production and increased demand have
raised the price of wheat.

A rnlvers..I Gold stanAard.

Director Of the Ni"r l.. E. Preston

ing over each other to get to gold ba-
sis.
1t is probable that more nations will
adopt the gold standard this year than
have ever before adopted it in any one
year. Japan, Salvador, British Hondu-
ras, Costa RIGA and Peru are some Of
the entries that have this year either
adopted the gold standard or started the
process of adoption. Nicaragua and In
dia may also join the gold procession
this year. Commenting upon Director
Preston's prediction, the New York
Journal OF Commerce says:
"The nations of the world are too
closely connected by the ties Of COM
MERGE now to maintain different and es-
pecially differing standards Commerce
has wiped out boundary lines. The
steamship and the telegraph and cell
letter postage, we may add, and the in
creasing means of the people of every
country to buy the products of other
countries and the increasing demands
of the manufacturers of every land for
materials from other lands have alto
gether BROUGHT the nations of the world
into a single market. While their re-
spective moneys bore an unchanged re-
lation to each other it only required q
little arithmetic to translate prices from
one language to another, but when their
relations toward each other changed
rapidly it began to be evident to all
except a few American statesmen that
it was imperative that, whether reduced
to a common unit or not, their moneys
must be reduced to a common standard. !"

Early American Bishops.

Before the war for American indie
pendence the American Episcopalians,
who were connected with the English
church, were never suffered to have a
bishop among them, but remained un-
der the jurisdiction of the bishop of
London. The ritz of coni,T nation was
unknown, and every candidate for Or
dination was obliged to travel to Eng
land. Out of 90 candidates who came
from America for ordination in 1897 10
died ON the voyage, At length, after
the United States had been declared in
dependent, Dr. Seabury was ordained
bishop of Connecticut by the primus
and bishops of Scotland, the prelates Of
the English church having refused to
consecrate him.-London News

A Look Ahead.

Our national currency system is still
in q highly unsatisfactory condition,
ard all friends Of monetary reform
should unite i'll bringing their influence
to bear upon congress next winter 10
secure some positive constructive legis-
latiOn to cure the evils which they all
recognize as existing. Whatever meas
ure is brought forwardto simplify the
paper circulation, to fortify the gold
standard, upon which all our paper and
silver issues rest, and to improve our
national banking system by authorizing
branch banar and giving the feature of
elasticity to bank circulation, will be
pretty sure 20 be antGgonized by all the
motley forces Of c p money-silveT
men as well as pap. Artists.
On this question believe parties will
make their next national struggle On
one side tho platform will be govern
ment paper money and plenty of it to
stimulate business and start a new era
of speculation. On the other side it
will be that all paper currency should
be issued by sound banks under govern
ment supervision, and its amount
should depend on business needs, which
vary from month to month, with the
check on overissues by the bankers
themselves to avoid insolvency.
The fight between sound and unsound
money theories will be hard one, and
the wrong side may win at first, with
much resulting calaE lty to our business
interests, but l do ndt see how the con-
test can be avoided. We must retire the
greenbacks and we must have a better
system of bank issues before we can get
our currency affairs upon a safe basis.
1t seems to me that the first duty of
the friends of sound money in prepar-
ing to make the contest that seems inev-
liable is to continue the process of edu-
eating the public mind which was be-
gun last year.-E. V Smalley in Chi
cago Times-H Herald.

Adams, a well known druggist, of
Geneva, Ala, in a letter inquiring the
price of dozen bottles, that he might
not only have it for use in his own
family, but supply it to his neighbors.
The reason some people get along with
out it is because they do not know its
value, and what a vast amount of suf-
fering it will save. Wherever it be-
comes known and used, it is recog-
nized as a necessity, for it is the only
remedy that can be depended upon for
bowel complaints, both for children
and adults. For sale by all druggists.

to search the Struble premises for the
missing books reported that the quest
had been unsuccessful. Deputy Sheriff
Estee testified that from a test he found
no one outside the vault could have fired
at Struble and the bullets be found
where they were. Elmer Scott. friend
OF the dead cashier. said that several
days before Struble was shot he was
in the bank and saw several packages
OF currency which he estimated would
amount to $1,000.
large crowd was present in the aft

Namara began his summing up. His
contention is that Struble, knowing the
bank was insolvent and feeling that the
depositors who stood TO lose would blame
him, deliberately planned suicide rather
than face the wrath OF his friends As
to the missing books, the prosecutor
said il he were told where Struble was
