SWEARING PREVENTED.

"Once when l was returning from
Ireland" said Rev. Rowland Hill, u
found myself much annoyed by the
reprobate conduct of the captain and
mate, who were both sadly given to the
scandalous habit of swearing. First the
captain swore at the mate, then the mate
swore at the captain, then they both
swore at the w1nd-when called to them
with strong voice for fair play. Stop!
stop p said l. If you please, gentle
men, let us have fair play; it's my turn
now" AT what is it your turn, pray?'
inquired the captain. AT swearing,
I replied. Well, they waited and waited
until their patience was exhausted. and
then wanted me to make haste and take
my turn. l told them. however, that |
had right to take my own time, and
swear at my own convenience. To this
the captain replied, with laugh, Per
haps you donn't mean to take your turn?'
"Parden me captain, l answered, 'but
do, as soon as can find out the good
of doing So" My friends, I did not hear
another oath on the voyage

The !fimctallist, of London, publishes
an abstract of the report of the royal
agricultural commission, which shows
hat this document is even more dis
tinctivcly Il triumph for binctallism
than earlier accounts indicated. Ten
of the If commissioners who signed
what is called the "main report" join in
/ Supplementary report declaring that
bimetalism is the one practical remedy
for the depression of agriculturc All
the commissioners had agreed that" thc
chief cause of the existing depression is
the progressive and serious decline in
the prices of farm produce" The ten
commissioners who sign the supple
mcntary report" take this proposition
as the basis of their argument. and urre
that, since the fall in prices is due to
the appreciation Of gold. and the apprc-
citation of gold is due TO the dcmonctiza-
ton of silver. therefore the English ROY
crHmcnt should combine with foreign
powers To effect the RECOMMENDATION of
silver. What is even more TO HE salts
faction Of bimctallsts is the fact that
Sir Robert Giifen, the extreme mono
mctalist upon the commission, agrees
with his colleagues that the fail in
prices is due TO the appreciation of gold.
with regard to the contention of David
y. Wells and gnany other monouctal-
lists that the decline i'm the price of
wheat from 1873 to 1896 has been due to
the increase in the supply, Mr. Gifcm
recognizes the validity of the official
statistics. and says: "Spcalling broad
~, the figures clearly suggest that the
decline in wheat during the last 20 years
is not due TO any great growth of pro-
duction in excess of the growth OF the
consuming population. The facts are
rather the othcrway: the growth Of the
acreage under wheat has Jagged behind
the growth of population" He adds:
at IS Il great misfortune. consider. that
some mcnomotallsts refuse to recognize
the general fan of prices In The last quar-
ter of century as being, I'm economic Ian
guagc. an appreciation of gold. and rs be-
ing explained 10y q contraction Of gold Gas
compared with a previous period OF cx-
pnnsiom. which commenced about the year

the gold supply ana demand. the progress

To Mr.. Giiien, rs to bimctalists, it is
seIf-cvidcnt that if the supply of money
had Increased ms rapidly after 1873,
.herc would have been no fall in prices.
. MIR. Giiirn further admits that bimctal-
lism Would result i'm "a general rise in
