HE DID AND HE DIDN'T.

China's Emperor is no more hay
ing crossed the river Of stiI on his
own hook, or at the hands Of an
assassin-is the way the anuonce-
ment Of his death IS sent out to the
world.
News IN China travels slow, and
it is not reliable when it arrives at
its destination, and generally takes
dozen trips across the China sea
to civilization, before any tangible
tale can be constructed out of the
jargon.
It's thought or said that the
Emperor of China either took his
own life or was assassinated on
September 2l, and the London
press up to October l, can not say
which were the means used to
transfer this pig tailed celestial
from the land of flowers to the
kingdom promised them on the
other side of the river.
A Chinese paper published at
Shanghai says that the Emperor
committed suicide after signing the
decree, placing the dowager EN-
press at head of affairs

The New Evil of Tea Smoking

Physicians in various parts of the
country report an alarming growth
of tea-smoking. The habits con-
tracted by those whose nerves are
disordered, who can't sleep, whose
digestion is imperfect, whose liver is
out of order, who get the "blues'
and feel their strength departing.
1t seems strange that sufferers from
the above disorders should not cure
themselves with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. This Is a medicine
which whets up the appetite, regu-
lates the bowels, steadies the nerves
and induces sound sleep. Those who
take it find that it cures dyspepsia,
and there is no bad taste in the
mouth in the morning, no feeling OF
weakness after the days work is
done. 1t is well worth trial.

Secretary Gage didn't like the
action Of the American federation
Of Labor il conde mning his none
tary schemes, and wrote an open
letter to President Gompers about
it. The official head Of 80, 600
American skilled workmen answered
Gage in q strong letter which may
be summarized as follows:
Substituting bank notes for green
backs would strengthen the banks
and weaken the government. &.
Gold is a dishonest measure Of
value, and interferes with the just
distribution Of wealth. y
It cuts down wages and deprives
the producer OF the fruits OF his toll.
Increasing the value of money de-
creases the value of the products OF
labor. '-.~r H..
Establishing the gold standard
causes money to grow dearer, and
has forced the value OF things meas
ured by money to fall in price.
That fall in price since 1898 has
been common to all gold e countries,
and has been a depreciation OF at
least 20 per cent.
Appreciation OF gold has been the
cause OF this decrease in price; there
fore, the gold standard has injured
labor.
Demonstration of silver, which
has doubled the demand on gold,
has caused the latter metal to grow
in value.

Sound Money Patriots.

The Louisville Post deplores the fact
that "sound money" democrat was
removed by Mckinley to make room for
a "sound money republican and de-
clares that because of such things the
administration is becoming obnoxious
to "sound money" democrats. This
gives us a deep pain, for we were as
sured that the "sound money" dem
ocrats were not actuated by any desire
to hold on to the offices when they sup
ported Mckinley, but were impelled by
an overwhelming patriotism to succor
and support republicanism. The Louis
vile Post is giving the "sound money

consistent, they would urge the alb.

millions OF dollars through the

AS TO THE INDIA MlNTS.

The Last Word Has Not been Spoken,
Nor the Question Settled.
English bimetallis lists do notregard the
dispatch Of Sir James Westland in be-
| half Of the Indian government as clos
ling the question of an enlarged use Of
silver in India. 81.
No serious person, either in India or
in England, regards that dispatch as
other than a stop gap or has the Slight
est faith in keeping the India mints
closed, or maintaining the rate Of ex-
change that way saws FL. Faraday,
in the London National Review.
India would certainly receive large
benefits from the opening of its minis,
and the manufacturers Of England
would share in these benefits. But Lom-
bard street would not then be able to
fatten on the mearned increment of
gold, and as long as Lombard street
controls the treasury of England there
will be no opening of the Indian mints.
Undoubtedly the United States would
profit greatly through friendly action
toward silver on the part of India. AS
Faraday says: apart from the general
advantage of a new outbuFst OF prog
ress and prosperity throughout Asia
and Africa, what would be the special
advantages to France and the United
States of a reopening of the Indian
mints in conjunction with the reestab-
lishment of the bimetallic or monetary
exchange house system in France. and
the United States?
"The magnificent absorbing power of
India would relieve the United States of
their currency difficulty, and enable
them to establish an elastic monetary
system without putting the industries
of the country under the tyrannous con-
troll of the banks, and it would provide
a practically unlimited utility for all
the silver and gold they can produce"
All this is undoubtedly true enough,
but there is nothing in't the prosperity of
India, France, the United States and the
agriculturists or the manufacturers of
England which appeals forcibly to the
money power, and the money power
rules England to-day, as it is striving to
rule the United States.
Gold monometallism is too firmly in
trenched in England to yield to meas
ures for the general good. The battle
for bimetallism must be fought in the
United States, and independent action
here will force the nations Of the old
world to adopt the use of silver-Chi-
cago Dispatch.
