what, as you no doubt have concluded,
from the view taken by the average
politician, who is naturally tempted to
give to the people not what he knows
is really best, but what is at the mo-
ment most palatable. He thinks Of
what they favor now in their unin-
structed state, not what it behooves
them to think because conducive to
their permanent good. The Chambers
of Commerce throughout the country,
on the contrary, have to consider not
what doctrines will make votes, but
what the masses for their own good
should be induced to vote.

The SOuth's Currency Condition

Boston, Mass, January 1.-The Massa-
chusetts Reform Club listened to two in
teresting speeches tonight on 1.-The Cur
rency Condition of the South by Hon.
John w. Fries, of North Carolina, and
Hon JOS. Bryan, of Virginia.
Mr.. Fries, who was a member of the
commission, received a hearty welcome.
He said:
In the last election the republican, or
sound money vote, of North Carolina,
was thrown in the middle and western
parts of the state where are located the
cotton industries now considered to be
the greatest competitors of Massachu-
sets. The silver men in the south are
sure of their position and feel sure that
that money, if once brought into exist
ence would be a cure for AID their many
ills"
Speaking of the work of THE monetary
commission, Mr.. Fries said that the gold
Standar was found established not only
in this county, but every other impor-
tant country in the world.
Mr.. Bryan outlined the situation in the
south with reference to currency reform
and the needs of the south in connection
with the plan of the monetary commits
sion. He took Virginia as a criterion and
compared her condition at the outbreak
OF the war with that which obtained af-
ter the surrender of Appomattox. with
the Idea of showing why the conServa-
tiSm in matters for which the
southern states were respected in the
earlier days, had been thrown aside"

The Coal Operators and Miners Conven-
ton.

Chicago, January Aft waiting
upon the scale committee since Tuesday
the delegates to the Interstate joint
conference of bituminous coal operators
and miners of Pennsylvania. Ohio, lndl-
ana and Illinois and the miners or west
Virginia., received "a very unsatisfactory
report. 1t was presented at this after
moons session and embodied these prop
ositions: The adoption of the mine run
or gross weight system, and the uniform
fty of hours of labor. No mention oil an
advance i'm wages vas made.
The operators of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana had fought the adoption OF
a. mine run s stem from the start and
the votes taken in committee, as report
ed to the convention, showed that they
had stood as a unit in opposition TO tne
plan. The report was accepted py tine
convention and it's consideration Serla-
tim commended. But it quickly became
apparent that no progress could be made
under the rules governing tine conVen-
ton, which require an vote
to carry any proposition. FINALLY, tne
convention was resolved into a commit
tee of the whole and the first proposition
embodied in the report-the mine run
system (Which is now being used in Hi
nois)-was discussed under the five min
ute rule. Operators and miners of Hi
nois and miners from all the other states
favored the plan; but the operators OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana refused
ito consider the change. Finally a vote
was taken on the motion to adopt the
mine run and it resulted-ayes, "a; nays,
70. This vote, the chair ruled, was a de-
feat for the motion.
AT the evening session Operator Rob-
bbinS. of Pennsylvania, presented a res
oluton e~mbodyfng the adoption of a uni
form screen in the competitive field, of
1A-inch mesh, fat bar. Several amend
mentS were defeated and the motion
went over. 1t is quite evident that 1t caT-
mot be put through, as a single objection
will serve to- defeat it.
How r1hQ ma rtia mentarV tangie INTO
which the convention has been drawn
will end is a matter of speculation. If the
proceedings this afternoon and this ev-
ening are any criterion, the convention
will be unable to agree upo any SUBJ
= ject. Patrick Dolan. leader of the min
ers in the Pittsburg district, made re-
peated motions that the rules be sus-
pended, but was declared out of order.

WHAT 1T MEANS.
There Was Really No Other Baking Pow
der That Could be Relied Upon.

1t has been referred to as remark
able that the United States Govern
ment, in fitting out it's expedition for
the relief of the whalers imprisoned in
the Artic Seas, should have selected
and included Royal Baking Powder
among it's supplies, n no other
This is not at all to be wondered at
The superior quality Of the Royal
made its use upon this occasion indis-
pensable. The Royal is the only
baking powder so carefully and per-
fectly made that it will keep fresh in
all climates, under variable degrees
of temperature and moisture, during
long sea voyages, etc. 1t is the only
baking powder that will do it's work
uniformly and perfectly at the Poles
and under the Equator as we'll as in
| the United States.
The Royal is regularly n continu-
ously selected for use at our army
posts, in the navies of this country
and Great Britain and upon the fleets
of merchants vessels that cover the
oceans, irrespective of the flag they
fly.
All this means that the Royal is the
best baking powder for home use also.
it means that it has qualities peculiar
to itself Which make it's usefulness be-
ycnd that possible for any other
making powder to attain.
