ReciDrocity with France,

The President, and the country as
we'll, is to be congratulated upon the
reciprocity agreement recently entered
into between France and the United
States, and proclaimed by the Presi-
dent. The agreement is made under au-
thority granted by the Dingley law.
1t is not as wide in it's scope as might
be desired, but it is an entering wedge.
In return for the admission of French
still wines and certain other articles at
reduced duties, the minimum duties
are to be imposed by France on our
woods, fruits and pork. Reciprocity
treaties with a number of nations were
made under the Harrison administra-
ton and abrogated under that of Mr..
Cleveland. Now we return to the re-
ciprocity policy again. 1t was grave
mistake to have ever given it up. 1t
did not improve foreign feeling toward
us, and it did injTre our trade. Now
that beginning has been made with
France, other European nations will
follow. Perhaps the completion Of this
treaty will temper the animosities that
have just sprung up between the two
countries.

YER The gold production of the Uni.
ted States is calculated at SCI, 100000
and that for South Africa at about
$60,0OO,00O OF the United States
product Colorado alone produced $21,-
100000. In addition to this product,
the United States is importing gold
heavily, and it is estimated the impor-
tations for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1893, will not fall short of $780,
100000. Europe is still indebted to this
country for merchandise, and the most
eminent authorities there estimate
that the United States can demand
nearly $500, 100000 more. if necessary,
but, owing to the plethora of money in
the United States, and especially Of
gold, it is more profitable to leave it
there.
This action of the Senate does no
good to any one and Injuries business

not pass the President. Business
progress, though, will be checked mod

the administration the necessary finan-
cial aid to conduct the war, which

Natures Gardens in Alaska.

The most extensive, least spoiled and
most unspoilable of the gardens of the
continent are the vast tundras of AL
aska. Every summer they extend
smooth. even, undulating. continuous
beds of flowers and leaves from about
latitude e. degrees to the shores of the
Arctic Ocean; and in winter sheets Of
snow flowers make all the country
shine, one mass of white radiance like
star. Nor are these arctic plant peo-
pie the pitiful. frost-pinched unfortun-
ates they are guessed to be by those
who have never seen them. Though
lowly in stature, keeping near the
frozen ground as if loving it, they are
bright and CHEEKY, and speak Natures
love as plainly as their big relatives of
the south. Tenderly Mapped and tuck
ed in beneath downy snow to sleep
through the huge white winter, they
make haste to bloom in the spring
without trying to. grow tall, though
some rise high enough to ripple and
wave in the wind and display masses
of color-yellow, purple and blue-so
rich they look like beds of rainbows
and are visible miles and miles away.
And in September the tundra
slows in creamy golden sunshine, and
the colors of the ripe foliage of the
hearthworts, willows, and birch-red,
purple and yellow-in pure bright tones
are enriched with these Of berries which
are scattered everywhere as if they
had been showerMd down from the
clouds like hail; their colors, with those
Of the leaves and stems, pleading har-
moniously with the neutral TITS of the
ground OF lichens and MOSES on which
they seem to be painted.-Sskn MUy

1t will be observed that among those
who are making a fuss about the great
increase in. the price of wheat and corn
are some ardent silver men. They are
talking Of the suffering these high
prices cause the poor. They forget that
during the campaign of 1896, they told
the people, particularly the farmer,
that the free coinage of silver would
bring dollar wheat Dollar and almost
two-dollar wheat came without free
silver. Had Mr.. Bryan won in 1896
Mr.. Bryan's friends would have attrib-

in fact it was due to crop famines
abroad and an increased demand for
our cereals, as well as to market manip-

spasn's Silver Standard.

AS an awful example Spain is not
without her usefulness to the cause OF
progressive enlightenment. Her inhu-
manity has served the purpose of
arousing modern sentiment to the in
evitable overthrowing of her inquisi-
torial institutions. In addition to this
and siraiar sins held up to public ex-
ecration of disguised world, she has
others. In her plans Of finance the
heresy have an object lesson well
worth needing. She stands before the
world a country devoted to silver
basis and committed to a rotten paper
currency. Gold is at a premium, while
the paper is practically worthless out
side of Spanish territory. Neither
Spanish paper nor silver will purchase
munitions of war, and the Bank of
SPANS alleged gold reserve has been
drawn on heavily for this purpose. The
people who have not seen any form Of
money but the well-nigh worthless
frantic efforts to exchange it for the
deprecated silver, knowing that they
cannot obtain gold for it.
In order to save herself from threat
ened panic, she orders the expectation
Of silver stopped, but even that will
lot save her. Her unstable fiaapeisS
condition but illustrates that, while en-
lightened nations have revised 01heir
monetary systems upon sound basis,
medieval Spain, in her ignorance, has
clung to her silver standard, with ruin
as an inevitable result.
Without money she cannot war, and
the money she can command is worth
less outside her own boundaries. Even
there it is debased and deprecated
substitute for a current exchange.
Among the lessons of this war this
should not be without it's salutary eff
feet.

War History.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal of the 18th inst. is letter
giving an account of the progress of the
recent levies 10 Chickamauga battlefield
In that article the writer speaks of a stop
made near Murfreesboro at "a pile of stone
quarried from near by and dedicated to the
memory of an Indiana company which was
slaughtered in its entirety one eventful
morning when taken by surprise" This is
an error. The only military monument
erected at the battlefield OF Stone River out
side of the national cemetery is the one
which was erected to the fallen heroes of
Hazen's Brigade. which contained the Ninth
Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry This
monument was erected shortly after the
battle by order of General Rosecrans, the
work being done by men detailed from the
brigade. lit contains the names of the mem
beers of that brigade who fell at Stone River
and at Shiloh. All members of that brigade
who were killed at Stone River were and
still are buried in the Enclosure around the
monument. In 1886 the government built a
stone wall around the monument, which
wall is two feet thick and four feet high
and orders were given that the hallowed
ground should be forever cared for by the
superintendent of the national cemetery.
Ii is believed that this monument was the
first one to be built to the memory of the
Union dead during the war of the rebellion

that any Indiana company was there

prise THE bloody Ninth" fought all
through the terrible battle OF Stone River

martyrs who yielded up their lives that the
