A SIMPLE PROBLEM.
The Financial Question Viewed from
the Standpoint of Proved Facts
and Great Principle.

Many of my correspondents express
the opinion that the financial problem
is too complicated for the ordinary in.
tellect, and in this belief make no at
tempt to reach a solution.
I do not believe it possible for any
person of even ordinary intelligence to
arrive at any other conclusion than that
the restoration of bimetallism is essen
tial to the prosperity of the country. if
prejudice be laid aside and the facts
honestly accepted which are supported
by overwhelming evidence.
So far from presenting complications,
the problem is one of extreme sim
plicity and, next to the salvation of the
soul, is the most important that can oc
cupy human attention. The prosper
ity, the happiness, and, to a great ex-
tent, the lives of industrial workers in
all civilized countries depend upon the
proper solution of this financial ques.
ton.
Twill state certain facts for which con.
elusive proofs have been and can be pre-
scented.
A gigantic conspiracy, centralized in
London, has long existed among the
money powers or the world TO depre-
ciate prices of all products of industry
and initiate the purchasing power OF
money.
The effect, If not the intention, has
been to close factories, throw millions
of operatives out of employment, reduce
wages to starvation prices and pauper.

of farmers, tradesmen and operatives

Experiments are being made in the
Russian army with tall observation
towers which may be readily unjointed
and distributed among the men during
a march. In their drills with these,
squads of 60 men can erect complete
structures in 20 minutes. When not
supplied with the pieces already made,
they can, by chopping down a few
trees and properly cutting them, put up
a tower of almost the same kind in half
an hour.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

delight of young people in Surrey.

Mr.. Henry Apps stepped out into the
broad passage. He slouched, with his

"Goramity!" cried Mr.. Apps.

of his dog waiting On the lawn, and
feared it might give an inopportune

and the diamonds were waiting for him.
He had noticed with satisfaction that
Lady Staplehurst was wearing none.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The fear for
the safety of the steamship Paris ex.
pressed in some quarters is not shared
by the officers of the International
Navigation Co. Clement A. Griscom,
jr., one of the managers of the Amer.
lean line, laughed at the idea of the
capture of the Paris
''There is not vessel in the Spanish
navy which can steam within two
knots of the Paris speed" he said, ''if
the day is clear vessel can be sighted
20 miles away. If there's any doubt
of the vessels nationality it is hardly
likely that the Paris will try to make
it out. Of course careful lookout
will be kept for Spanish vessels, but
we don't expect any will be sighted
which will give her any trouble"

Paris has been captured off the Irish
