TIME FOR 4 HALT.

The evil Of the single gold standard is
continuous evil. If the change in the
standard meant merely an increase in all
monetary burdens and a decrease in the
value of all commodities. the change,
once made. could be borne. But it does
not mean so. 1t means a continuous
change, continuous increase of the
burden. The people for the third of a
century tax themselves in paying off a
war debt. and 10! it's burden Is even
greater than at the beginning. says the
Colorado Catholic.
We deceive ourselves by looking only
at the number of dollars. without l>ok-
ing at what tho dollars mean. II dol

The Dublin Weekly Freeman, COM
menting upon the war With Spain, and
England's attitude, has this to say:
when President Cleveland peremptorily
ordered them out of Venezuela they
threw up their hands, mumbled some
idiotic commonplaccs about our Anglo
Saxon kinsmen-and promptly with
drew. Now, writer's in the Daily Chron-
icle and other papers not only approve
of the Monroe doctrine, but actually
suggest that England should ioin the
United States in enforcing it. When it
is borne in mind that England was the
aggressor on the last occasion when the
doctrine was put into operation. the
characteristic English impudence of the
suggestion will be readily appreciated.
The Americans will liberate Cuba with
out aid from England and until Justice
has been done to Ireland the dream of
British-American alliance will remain
but a dream-and singu!arly foolish
one at that"

lar means each year more and severer
toll. certainly 1t Is of Importance to
note the quality of the dollar as we'll
as the number Of the dollars that are to
lie paid. The number Of the dollars may
have decreased, While the toll and labor
and struggle that the diminished number
OF dollars may indicate, may have vastly
increased. Which is important? IS it
the name or the thing itself?
That since the characterization of silver
III 1873 the dollar has constantly been
changing in quality is demonstrable. The
index numbers Of the economists demon
strates that the relation between the dol
lar and commodities has constantly been
changing. The dollar is steadily appre-
ciating The downward tendency Of
commodities began with the demonetiza-
ton of silver and has been practically
continuous since.
NO enc can give serious consideration
to the series of index numbers and no.
tee the beginning Of the downward ten
dency coincident with the demonetiza-
ton of silver, without concluding the one
as the effect Of the other as cause. And
ms Is logical conclusion. The test Of
the index numbers is merely an applica-
ton of the labor standard Of value, which
Is llnvarying. Such standard will show
the variations existing in the money used
as standard of value.
That the standard would appreciate
must have been fcresecn by those who
engineered the decentralization of silver
This was the object intended when it
was proposed in the tifties to demonetize
goid. Appreciation OF the standard was
necessary consequence to making one
metal do the work formerly done by two.
When silver was demonetized in Europe
ana America the harm done was not in
diminishing the amount of money, but in
severins the tie that held gold and silver
together Today the amount of money.
gold and silver, is fully as great as in
1873. But that money is now not one
body, but two bodies.
by making separate money bodies of
the gold and silver, the duty required OF
gold was greatly increased. Supply and
demand lifted gold away from silver, to
which it was no longer bound by the ties
or legal tender. While the two metals
formed one body, both metals had to be
changed before change would be of i'm
portance
The influence Of the severance of the
BOND between gold and silver was mani
fold in it's operation. 1t increased the
demand for gold by a tremendous
amount. The measuring of commodities
in gold countries now had all to be
done by the gold standard. On the other
mana, this increased, demand for gold
mad to be supplied from an immensely
diminished supply Of money. Formerly
'he whole amount,o of gold and silver coin
could be drawn upon; now only half Of
the amount could be used.
1t is any wonder that gold appraciatedo
hat a gold dollar means constantly in
creaslng quantities of commodities? The
burden of debt of the world has in
creased, while the commodities with
which all debts must be paid il paid at
all, has diminished in value. The time
for a halt must come Is not the time
here now?

Sure Mallon took that trick,

you held your hand on high
Swearing to defend Old Glory, with its

With its stripes of red and white
White for truth and red for might
You We're praying you could fire the gun
signalling the fight!
Then Irish luck stood by you, Pat, as
you stod by the gun,
For an 1rishman thinks fighting for
America Is fun!
It's the way he has to tell
That he loves this country we'll
This country gives him freedom and he'll
Fight for that through hell!
Paddy Mallon! Paddy Mallon. Proud

For Irish dead lie in the Maine. No dan

Fight by the Yankees side
Till they've freed another nation and

llSn anG MAINTAIN, despite the arms and
prowess Of England.
Our present national administration Is
pro-English to the backbone. The hon
ored guest Of William Mckinley, and
who is at the White House to help along
the alliance scheme, Is the ex-American,
General Hastings, who is resident Of
Bermuda and foreswore his allegiance to
the United States to become British
subject! He it was who made the
match, In conjunction with Mrs. McKin-
ley, for the marriage of William McKin-
ley Osborn, the lickspittle consul-general
of the United States in London, with
Mrs. McKinley's cousin. James Boyle,
blgoted Englishman, is consul-general to
Liverpool. He is the next best friend to
William Mckinley, and his ex-private
secretary. Surrounded by such influ-
ences, it is small wonder that men like
Patrick Egan, eXminister to Chilli, and
Patrick. Ford, of the Irish World, are
persona non grata at the White House.
In this age Of general intelligence, John
Bull cannot and will not be permitted
TO lie about and misrepresent the Irish
people. His rule in Ireland is many
times worse than the Spaniards in Cuba,
and at the present time the usual Eng
llsh-made famine is decimating the peo-
pie along the west coast of Ireland. The
European powers might initiate the ac-
tion of the United States in the Cuban
interference by~notifying England that
her barbarous and robber, blood-sucking
rule and oppression of Ireland must
cease. They will be more justified in the
! interests of humanity in doing so, than
this republic is in our holy and justifia-
BILE war with Spain.

He is an accomplished gentleman Of

that the family is Of Palatine extraction.

That the war between this country
and Spain is not going to be productive
wholly of gain to us here is becoming
already apparent. The price of flour.
sugar and other food-stuffs is rising, and
the cost OF living will be increased, so
that against the advantages that we
may derive from the conflict we will
nave to be prepared to set certain dis
advantages Undoubtedly as yet there is
no legitimate reason for the rise in
prices, which in many lines is rather the
result Of speculation than of demand,
but this was TO be expected and cannot
be helped. However. it is well to note
that for many things which our farmers,
especially. have to sell. the inquiry is in
creasing, and that when times are good
prices generally rule high and wages
are better than when times are dun.
