Europeans do not ascribe the hnan-
cial panic which struck the whole
world in 1898 to the Sherman law,
the Wilson tariff law, and to the
repeal of the Mckinley law. That
panic was general, and nowhere
was it felt with greater force than
in London, where the failure of
the Earrings marked its high tide.
Following this panic a general
business depression has settled on
the industrial classes Of all gold
standard countries which will re-
main until the cause IS removed
and silver is restored to it's equal
power with gold at the mints. We
have no power to legislate for
Europe, but we can move the
cause of business depression here,
and bring on an era of prosperity
as far as this country is concerned
by restoring the free coinage of
silver.

"A License to Steal"

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll ID. Wright
furnished that body last week concern
ing the labor cost Of lumber in this coun.
try and in Canada. His figures showed
that, while the average wages in Canadi-
an sawnills is $1.41 and Sill per day
here, the average labor cost of LOGO
feet of lumber is SIPS in Canada and
only 81 cents here. The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
Of course, the figures prove the free
trade contention hat the ate Of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro.
d~uction-tkat low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
fdissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get a tariff on Canadian lum.

rob American consumers. Projections

notable exception to the rule that

During the monetary conference
at Brussels in 1892, Mr.. Alfred de
Rothschild, a delegate from Eng
land, said:
'sGentlemen, l need hardly REM d you
that the stock Of silver i'll the world is esti-
mated at some thousands Of millions, and i if
this conference were to break up without ar

depreciation in the value Of that commodity
which it would be frightful to contemplate,
and out of which a monetiry panic would en-
sue the farspreading effects OF which it would
be impossible to ioretell"
This is probably the only predic-
ton Of a gold advocate that has
ever been fulfilled. He predicted

HEAVY DUTIES ON LINENS.
VIII Deprive the People OF n Useful
Fabric.

Will Deprive the People OF II Useful
Fabric.
The following are some Of the COM
ments of a man we'll acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doctored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Ding!cy biz are
heavier than ever, although it has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
IS per cent. and yielded a steady rev.
enue to the government. The rates now
proposed vary from 50 to 100 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods. which are chiefly
used in the homes Of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail at 25 cents per yard Will have to be
sold at 37R cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linens for children's summer
blouses Will be assessed @9H per cent,
and the retail price VIII have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms h raw material for
many American Industries. as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 20 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is not
necessary or revenue, but the effect
will be that the people will in many
cases substitute something cheaper,
and thus be deprived of this useful
fabric, and the revenue will be cores
pondingly diminished. 1t is said that
linen goods can be made here, but this
has been tried again and again, and ex-
cept in the case of a few low crashes
has been a failure, owing to the climate
and other difficulties, but even if they
necessarily oppressive. The entire cost
of weaving linen goods in Europe is
about TX to 10 per cent. the selling
price of the article here, and in Amer
lea the cost should not be at the very
outside more than double this percent

be true, a protection of 35 per cent.

uGacturers.
1t is possible spectators may start
mills on the strength Of these excessive
rates, sell the stock and then step out,
leaving the unfortunate laborer and
manufacturer to face the difficulties Of
the situation as best they can. The. Ia
borer probably. having been brought
here from Europe. (for labor is on tho
free list), with unreasonable expecta-
tions, will be LETT to Join the army of
disappointment and discomfort. Why
should these exorbitantly high rates
be assessed on an article more or less in
use in every household in the land, and
the cost OF living 80 much increased in
these days of keen competition and
small profits? Why should the plain
people be taxed to put more money in
the pockets Of, the rich? If the wealthy
manufacturers want TO make expert
ments. let them do so at their own cost.

Three men were employed five months
in making the trail leading to it. and it is
one of the steepest in the mountains. The
last fifty feet of the climb is over a
stretch of barren rock, and the scene be-
low is one of the most magnificent in the
wild South Canyon. To the east at this

plains beyond the springs. The top of the
mountain is level for several hundred feet.

BY about O'Clock In the afternoon
something like 1900 had been landed on the
Texas side. They stood quietly enough
when they werc over and gave but little
trouble to the herders. But those not
yet across were, naturally, those least
willing TO cross, and all that a COW may
do that is obstinate was done on this oc-
casion. They appeared to have a great
deal more endurance than the horses.
They would reach the bank for the hum
dredth time, and race with the spirit of
healthy young yearling just released from
barn. The Mexicans began to rope
and throw some OF the most mischievous
of the evildoers. that they might not lead
the others astray: and after falling hard
enough to break limb they
would get up, ready for another
mad dash. The herders rivalled them
IN endurance. One deep-chested fellow
was thrown from his horse just as the
latter was scrambling out Of the water on
slippery bank-the animal stumbling. He
rolled over and over and then jumped
up and started in pursuit OF his frighten-

SOME GRAVES OF HEROES.
THE TOMB OF MACEO LIES IN A
PICNIC GROUND.

Carmen syIva's Unique Grave-Since
the Grant Parade at Riverside the
Kaiser Has Been wild 40 ImmOr-
taIize His Grandfather Thus-The
Coming Way to Honor Heroes.
New York. June 5.-The recent an
nouncement of a wild fete over the plac-
ing of ton Of rough stone to the memory
of his grandfather by the Kaiser Wilhelm
brings to notice the number of pleasure
spots that center around the graves Of
heroes and the growing tendency to i'm
mortallze the great by being joyful around
the place where they rest.
A few years ago the cemeteries were the
home of the dead. In these peaceful spots
they slept, their last resting-place viewed
with reverence and fear.
But that has passed away. and the
pleasure ground of to-day lies near the
body of a hero. The great monuments are
erected in plot or park or laid alongside a
river where pleasure-seekers go. And this
Is as it should be, as the heroes would I'M
doubtedly have liked it.
Gen Grant rests in the center of New
Yorks greatest bicycle square, and 9TH
er heroes lie in equally beautiful pleas
ure spots. The latest is from Germany
where the Kaiser has had rock Weighing
100 tons, which he discovered while hunt
ing. torn from its place on the mountain
side and taken to the royal hunting
grounds, to be inscribed as another monu-
ment to his grandfather.
The Cubans in their new homes, under
their own unrecognized government, have
few pleasure spots, but one of these is
near the grave Of Maceo. Here there is
small settlement where the wives and
children live and enjoy such life as they
can in the uncertainty Of war. This let
ter recently received from theFe describes
the grave as It now Is:
Remegios, May ?.
The Spanish could not understand the
fierce spirit which possessed the body Of
tnsurgent troops when overtaken ana at
tackled near this place. The path defend
ed by the rebels leads to the seacoast,
where, not many miles further on, lies the
body Of Maceo buried on the shores ne
loved so well.
The body OF Maeeo was recovered from
the Spanish after desperate fighting and
brought here. The women OF the Cuban
settlement begged that Il be laid where
they could watch Il. And they were al
lowed 20 have their way.
With their own hands they dug the inn
mense bouldors from the ground where
they had lain for ages and rolled them 70
TIE spot where the, body lies.
The place has been kept green and beau
lful. through wet and dry season, and
u now the only pleasure spot on the war
swept island.
There are few men soldiers IN the little
settlement, but one stands guard always
at the grave. He has a signal OF distress
which he sounds at the approach OF
strangers The Cuban women would, "a
case OF attack. come TO his aid and defend
'ne boulders with their last drop OF blood.
