These diagrams show that i'll Scotland
there is about go per cent more Of cur.
rency in circulation in November than
in February. In Canada there is 22 per
cent more currency iii circulation in Oc-
tober than in May. In the United States
there was only per cent change in cir
culation during tine two years 1894 and
1895, and the most of this change is ac-
counted for not by the changing needs
for currency at different periods of the
year, bat y the sales Of United States
bonds, which made it convenient for
banks To increase their circulation. Mr..
Root thus explains the changes in Can
ada and Scotland:
"For instance, on comparing the cir
culation Of Canada and Scotland, the
first thing noticed is that in Scotland
there are two upward movements, one
eliminating i'll May and the other in
November. while i'll Canada the former
movement is entirely absent and the

A Soap Vendors Big Profit.


Folks like to be humbugged.
At any rate the general public
seem powerfully easily duped by
slick-tongued sharpers. The other
day a fellow landed in this city
and began to offer for sale med
icated soap. Each cake was wrap
ped in tin foil and had a small red
paper band aronud it, and smelled
as sweet as Winston dude at a
Twin City Club reception. By
the printed label the soap was
guaranteed to relieve or cure any
ailment from the falling out OF
hair down to in-growing toe nails
The price was two cakes for O
quarter. At court in an adjacent
county his sales amounted to $1e
in one day. The soap he bought
of Winston mercantile broker
at $1.6O a gross. Cutting the
same in two he made 288 which
he sold at 12t cents cake, real
izing just $36 for his deal, less 81.
60, the origonal cost of the soap
This is fact and no fooling
Those who bought the soap 60

Original Observations.
Orange, (Fa.) Observer


The profits from gambling all
go won way.
The butcher shop is the modern
"meet-in house,
The men who put furniture to-
gether have a very glue-my time
of it.
The dead beat is q vegetable
that requires no cultivation-it
grows spontaneously.
It's no sign that a fellow has
the scarlet fever because he wants
to paint the town red.
He who promises easily to do
great things, will generally fail
even to perform little ones.
The birdlet on the treeling now
carols forth it's notelet, and the
boy who hath no feeling ties tin
cans to the goatlet.
The flea it is silent bird, il
never sings song, but many 6
mans disgust is stirred, by "some
thing going wrong''
Trust no maiden however pleas
ant, though her eyes with kindness
glean, pop the question in th'
present, ere she sees the sign o
cream.
The knowledge that we hav'
made one heart happier for ou
having lived, should be recon
pense for much of the pain whfcl
every soul suffers in pursuing life
daily work.
The husks and hulls of life ar
jostled and crushed and pass away
but their essence remains a ban
or a balm, perfume or an odo
poisonous, which are stored in tn
cellars of memory.

HOEING HIS ROW.

HoeinS his row, the farmer boy
Whistles and sings Ill careless ioy,
Nature smiling Oh every side,
Quickly the hoars and moments glide:
Little of sorrow kas spirits know
AS gaily he labors and hoes his row.
Hoeing his row, in later years,
A buoyant hope his spirit cheers;
While blade and stalk grow green and
strong,
He sings full many a lovers song;
And future pleasures brighter grow
As hoping he labors and hoes his row.
Hoeing his row in middle life
Away from the cares and angry strife,
A loving wife and children fair
His nsany joys and pleasures share;
Crops of plenty their wealth bestow, -e
AS happy he labors and hoes his row.
Hoeing his row-the setting sun
Tells us his work will soon be done
Peace and comfort crown his days,
And all who know him speak his praise:
Who would not change the worlds vain
For his simple joys, as he hoes his row.
Hoeing his row? His life is past,
His sweetest moments were his last:
He never sought for praise or fame,
! But children's children bless his name:
Over his grave sweet breezes blow,
The faithful farmer has hoed his row.

The Democrats Lining Up.
PHILADELPHIA Times,


The Republican leaders should look
the political conditions fully and fairly
in the face. They should carefully study
the returns of the recent local issues.
They should not overlook the fact, also,
that the Democrats are lining up on
basis that promises Democratic unity for
the fall elections.
Senator German has sounded the key
note of Democratic action when he re-
Gently declared that lit is of far greater
importance that the Democratic party
should win in the elections of next fall
than that it should endorse the Chicago
platform" This advice coming from one
of the most sagacious leaders of the party
who followed its fortunes under the flag
of Bryan, will be well considered by
Democrats throughout the nation, and it
is now well understood that the New
York Democracy, under the lead of Tam
many, in shaping its action for the con-
troll of Greater New York city, will discard
national issues and crystalline the party
on the old Democratic lines of hostility to
monopoly taxes and monopoly rule with
such local issues as are vital.
The Mckinley administration, having
subordinated the money issue and exhib-
tied earnestness only in the re-establish-
ment of high protective duties, has given
the Democrats every chance to line up on
other issues than free silver, the only
question: that seriously divided the Dem
ocratic elements. When the adn,inistra
ton thus discards the money issue and
gives special prominence to high tariff
taxes against which not only the whole
Democratic vote of the country but man,
conservative Republicans are united, th'
democrats would be guilty of midsumme
madness not to meet the administration
on its own ground and accept the gage Q
battle.
, If the Republican leaders are wise, the
will eliminate from the tariff bill the Oi
fensive monopoly features, such as tn
wild concessions to the sugar trust, tn
: tax upon hides and the oppressive take
upon wool, which we do not grow, all {
9 which are taxes solely in the interest {
monopoly and are oppressive to the pei
pie. If they fail to do this they canne

ment of last year in probably one-haf ii
States outside of New England whic

in the nation. The Democrats are linir
g up on basis that certainly looks mo
formidable, and the Republican leade
at Washington should see and well unde

The fact is that on a strictly
honest basis money should not be

ly representing circulating sub
stitute of the coin supposed to be
at command. This is one of the
sequences of degrading silver and
making gold the only money of

enough of it. There isn't one

deem the paper redeemable in

We are doing business on short
time and living from hand to
mouth. We do not dare to do
otherwise. There is want of
confidence, here and abroad, in
our financial system; and want of |
confidence kills business as want
of meat and drink kills men.
The vote which elected Mr..
Mckinley to the Presidency the
country's opposition to schemes
OF financial delusion and regis
tered its demand for a sound cur
rency. That was the single and
dominating issue of a campaign
into which the tariff entered in a
subordinate and desultory fashion
only because of the candidates
absorbing devotion to that issue
and his antecedent unsoundness
on the other. But all the ener-
gies of the victorious party have
been directed to the tariff alone,
and not step has been taken to
protect us permanently against
the dangeas of an unsonnd cur
rency. The President has spoken
perfunctorily of Currency Com
mission, and he has sent three
gentlemen to talk about bimetal-
lism to the nations of Europe
that have done with bimetallism
and are tired of hearing about it.
THAT is all.
This is not craftsmanship; it is
not a safe party policy. 1t is not
a safe national policy. When
people are in discomfort, "adrift
and unexplained" and prone to
take up with "almost any wild
and untried leadership with the
hope of possible relief y the duty
of remedial action by the respon.
sible Government becomes imper
ative. Still more imperative Ii
the obligation to refrain from
lpolicies that aggravate the genera
distress and provoke the genera
indignation.

This absolute, practically lirnltle.s. au-

It's sanitary affairs has been strikingiy H.
Illustrated In the past year IN the city Of

up there was long serious one that the
authorities hesits,ed to attempt to solve.
These properties would have 10 be torn
down to eradicate tho evil and wholly ro-
move the danger. II was doubted that the
city could destroy so much private nrop-
erty. The rear tenements were exceed
'ngly profitable possessions and the own
ers would not give them up without a
struggle. Finally the board OF health con-
demned hundreds Of these structures where
the squalor and misery OF the city wero
largely found. The owners took the mat.
ter into the courts and the other day the
board of health won complete Yie,o,y.
Property which has yielded thousanfs Of
dollars in rent is now being sold for from
$50 to $3.50. Sanitary authority IL rem.
dered supreme over everything elss and
the city will be and is already the zainsr
