What the Country Blossomed with.
A New York labor paper, the People,
thus comments upon the prosperity
claims made in recent speech there
by Attorney General Grigg:
with McKinley's election, said he.
the country has blossomed like the
rose. No doubt there has been a bios
soming,' but it is undeniable that there
has been 'blighting also. East.
West, North and South; In mines, rail-
road yards, shops and factories
everywhere wages have tumbled, and
shutdowns, together with improved
machinery, have thrown upon the
pavement thousands Of the working
men. But these, evidently, are not the
country in Republican estimation; In
the Republican mind, the country
consists only Of that small percentage
Of our population that tolls not. neither
does it spin, and yet Solomon in all his
glory is not comparable with - the
CAPITALIST CLASS. These have
been enormously enriched by the spoils
Of the middle class and Of the working
class through that process Of capitalist
system-as natural as cholera is to
starvation and filth; and 1t has been
aided, wherever 1t wanted aid, by tho
jealous aid Of Republican legislation
and Interpretation of law"

This 10 the story Of man who went
Into store to buy nickel spool OF
thread-ho wanted nothing more. the
floorman took him by the am and d.
rected him Alright to where a blonde
presided from morning until night. He
bought the thread and settled with
sort Of reckless dash and the BLONDE
girl lifted up her voice and loudly
called for Cash" Then came a little
short-haired girl, with beads about her
neck. who took the thread to another
clerk, who entered up the check; she
then transferred 1t to boy in uniform
and cap, who took it to the basement
for another clerk to wrap. Two hours
later 1t came back only to be rejected
by the blonde girl, just because II
wasn't marked Inspected" Then for
another hour 1t went from place
to place, till at last the thread and pur-
chaser were brought face to face. Grab
bling 1t he hurried home and said unto
his wife: Had tried to spend dollar
they'd have kept me there for life."

supply OF money ouu AuSehuss ksss@
The contention that low rate OF
interest is indicative Of an oversupply
of money was thus disposed Of by Sec
rotary McCulloch, in his report for
Dec. 4, 1865: 1T is a well established
fact, that has not escaped the atten-
ton of all intelligent observers. that
the demand for money increases with
its supply, and that this demand 10
frequently most pressing when the vol
ume of currency is the largest. Money
being an Improbable article to hold.
very little is voluntarily withheld from
active use. and in proportion to its
increase prices advance, increasing the
demand for money; on the other hand
a reduction Of it reduces prices. and
as prices are reduced the demand Tor
money falls off," This Is also q strong
affirmation of the quantitive theory OF
money, by an authority that our GOLD
standard friends regard as infallible.

process by which It can be protected
and increased. The memorable logic
of facts is growing daily more forci.
BILE than the destinations Of theory,
and under the influence Of the hunger
for gold 1t is probable that The misfor-
tunes of Chilli may fall to the lot OF
others. The lesson taught by the expe-
riences of Mexico and Chill is that sill
yer is at last asserting its rights as
currency metal, and the longer this
right is denied the more widely will
currency difficulties and the premium
on gold spread, with the inevitable
consequence Of monetary misfortunes;
while the sooner mints are opened to
the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer, the sooner will certain bankrupt
nationalties be able to square their
gold Indebtedness. What Mexico can
do any other South American nation
can do also. It is for the holders OF
Chilian gold bonds to bring their in
fluence to bear on those who control
the finances of that unfortunate conn
try. Yours, ETC..

A delegate from the far west to .
recent educational convention told an
incident that happened sope years
ago when he was making Z trip on .
pioneer stage. All one-haif the first
day he sat beside tho driver and en-
deavored to engage him in converse
ton. The driver was not to be en-
gagged. He was not exactly surly. but
he evidently didn't care to be talked
to. The stage stopped for dinner at
little eating house, and when 1t rolled
away again the driver seemed like an
other man. He talked, he told stories,
he was the soul Of affability. Later he
explained the matter to the teacher. Il

The average person II asked to name
the most precious metal would men
tior. gold, yet there are many less
known metals that are worth far more.
Gold is worth $3.50 per pound, troy
weight. Barium, the metal which Davy
isolated from it's ore, baryta, in 1908.
sells for $3.50 a pound, when it is sold
q; all, and calcium is worth $1,000 a
pound. Cirium is shade higher; its
cost is $16O an ounce, or 1890 per
pound. These begin to look like fabu-
lous prices, but they do not reach the
highest point, chromium being $500.
Cobalt falls to about half the price OF
silver, while didymium, the metal iso-
lated by Masander, is the same price
as calcium. Then comes gallium,
which is worth $3.50 an ounce. With
this metal the highest price is reached,
and it may we'll be called the rarest
and most precious of metals. Glucium
Is worth $3.50 per ounce, idium $3.50.
iridium 1858 pound, janthanium SITS,
and lithium $1G0 per ounce. Nidium
costs 1928 per ounce, osmium, palla-
dunn, platinum, potassium and rho
dunn bring respectively $640, $500, $3.50,
ss2 and s512 per pound. Strontium
costs $12S an ounce, tantaum s144. IT,
lurium SO, thorium $272, vanadium
$500, yttrium $144, and zinconium
$3.50 an ounce.

they expect to win the strike, but can

America grows 10 per cent of the
worlds cotton crop, and year by year
larger proportion of it is manufac-
tured in this country, and in the south,
near the cotton fields, have the spin
dies multiplied most rapidly. Such an
increase in the cotton manufactures
means a greater demand in America
for American cotton. the market for
our goods will be enlarged and the
price of raw cotton will be stimulated.
Its market price will be fixed on this
side of the Atlantic rather than In
Liverpool. and the grower will reap
the benefit.

Those who have given most thought
and study to the subject concur in the
testimony that 1t is not the work OF
brain or body that kills, but the &C
,companying worries and anxieties'
combined with unphysiological habits
,of life, that undermine the sensitive
nervous system and ruin the constitu-
ton. And here an aggravating fact
comes in-in nine cases out OF ten the
disquieting thoughts and carking cares
which are harbored and brooded over
are entirely unnecessary and frequent
" imaginary. There are numberless
kinds of worry, and many people seem
borp with a predisposition to it.

or ,ate years many labor unions
have followed the example Of this or

is now generally conceded that labor

The Gold Standard VIII Compel q
General Bankruptcy.
The bimetallists of England are still
fighting and fighting hard for silver.
They are powerless against the Roths-
childs and other great international
bankers, but through such papers as
the Manchester Guardian they contin-
lie to force facts on public attention.
The following from a recent issue OF
that paper is of the highest impor-
lance:
To the Editor of the Manchester Guar
dian:
Sir-while all sympathy Is due to
the unfortunate holders Of CHILEAN gold
bonds it is advisable to accept the
brave lesson that is taught by Chili's
suspension of gold specie payments,
and to draw moral from the misfor-
tunes Of others.
The lesson that Chilli teaches is
based on three economic mistakes that
have followed each other in quick sue
cession. Her first mistake was to close
her minis against the free coinage of
silver-one of her most valuable pro-
auctions. Her second mistake was her
attempt to adopt a gold standard and
currency, and, that having failed, her
third mistake was to adopt paper
and inflated currency, causing gold to
go to premium. Argentine seems to
have taken alarm at Chilis failure, as
the premium on gold has since adj
vanced considerably, while Mexico
looks on with Indifference from the
standpoint of her silver currency. Mex
leo has plenty of silver money and is
proportionately prosperous and pro-
gressive. 1t Is impossible that this
state Of things can pass unnoticed by
students of currency questions.
Events demonstrate that there II got
sufficient gold for the requirements OF
the world; the scramble for 1t is be-
coming day by day more intensified;
all that is dug out Of the earth OH the
one hand is on the other bought for
continental treasures, where 1t ID
lodged and held more securely than
when 1t was In the original matrix.

Dear study days Of FRANKS and pains.
And dog-eared books with dingy stains.

AS dreamily doze and sigh
Those dear old school days come trooping

Their romping rows Of girls and boys.
