The Drift Toward Gold.

While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
battle for silver at the next congress
slonal elections; while a bimetallic
commission has just beer appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest of international bimetallism,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard of gold. Since the ap-
pointment of the United States com
missioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probabil-
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to fintlock muskets for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is i~rrevocably committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not i'll Europe alone that
this tendency is observable. The wis
dom aud apparent ease with which the
Japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels of modern craftsmanship
and marks that people as among the
most sagacions nations of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be awak-
ing from her silver dream of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is COM
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be conformed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary sys-
tem and escape the losses entailed by
al inferior and deprecated currency. A
dispatch a few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed a
law against the importation of silver.
Columbia has adopted the gold stand
ard, while Chill, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In Hondu-
ras, San Salvador, Costa RIGA and Santo
Domingo the gold standard has been es-
tablished By law. though a deprecated
paper currency prevents the circulation
of gold at present. These movements 60
to show that those nations who are in
touch with European trade and com
merce feel the necessity of having the
same monetary system and that their
people are at a disadvantage because OF
their fuctuating and deprecated home
c~urrencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
teddy our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out OF the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by ~plungipg US down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
Of the world think of such leadership
and statesmanship?-Chicago Times

Don't starve your land, lest it starse

Don't let the weeds grow and seed, lest
they absorb your profits.
Don't let your line fences get out OF

Don't borrow, if you can avoid it. If
you do, return promptly, in good condi-

Don't idle your time away. Usefully
employ it, and you are on the road to
Prosperity.
Don't make a debt, if you can possibly
go without it. Interest has eaten many

clan
With the tender touch of the Son of Man,
And the fever pain in the throbbing temples
Dled out with the flush on brow ana
cheek;
And the Ups hat had been so parched and
burning
Trembled with thanks that she could not
speak;
And the eyes, where the fever light had
faded,
Looked up-by her grateful tears made
dim
And she rose and ministered to her house
hold
She rose and ministered unto Him.
"He touched her hand, and the fever left
Her."
Oh, blessed touch of the Man Divine!
So beautiful then to arise and serve Him
When the fever is gone from your life and
mine;
1t may be the fever of restless 8 CRYING,
With heart all thirsty for love and praise
And eyesall aching and strained with yearn-
ing
Toward self-set goals in the future DAYS
Or 1t may be- fever of spirit anguish,
Some tempest of sorrow that dies not
down
Till the cross at last IN meekness lifted
And the head stoops low for the thorny
crown
Or 1t may be a fever of pain and anger,
When the wounded spirit is hard to bear.
And only the Lord can draw forth the ar

Left carelessly, cruelty ranking there.
Whatever the fever, His touch can heal 1t
Whatever the tempest, His voice can
still
There is only one joy as we seek his pleas

There Is only a rest as we seek His will

l think we shall say in the home on high
"If the hands that He touched but did His

How little it matters what else went by y,

One of Grants yictories.

One Of General Grant greatest vic
tories was not won in war, but in times
of profound peace. On April 20, 1874,
he vetoed an imitation bill which had
passed both houses Of congress, by de-
cided majorities, and back of which
were many eminent Republican poll
ticians who imagined that they saw
sure defeat ahead for their party unless
they made concessions to those clamor-
ing for "more money" The pressure
for the bill was not all political. Many
timid business men urged the president
to sign the bill in order to "stop agita-
ton" In this trying situation President
Grant showed patriotism wholly above
partisanship and a clear conception Of
sound financial principles, unobscured
by shortsighted notions of immediate
business expediency.
He vetoed the bill because in theory
it would produce initiation. 1.-THE theo-
ry," he declared, Sin my belief is a de-
parture from the true principles of
finance, national interest, national obli-
cations to creditors, congressional prom
Use, party pledges on the part of both
political parties and of personal views
and promises made by me in every an
nual message sent to congress and in
each inaugural address,"
So far from being q settlement"
the bill invited agitation. "Should
it fail to create the abundance of
circulation expected Of it, the friends
of the measure, particularly those out
of congress, would clamor for such
imitation as would give the expect
ed relief" And he defined his general
principle in these pregnant words, 81
am not a believer in any artificial meth
cd Of making paper money equal tc
coin when the coin is not owned OF
held ready to redeem the promises tt
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable ex.
actly in proportion to the mount O
coin that it can be converted into"
The monetary battles of this country
are not yet all fought. Grants words
and acts should inspire those engaged il
the present struggle.
