CHAPTER V.
The Voyage to Cuba.

Inc voyage TO CuDa.
I resolved not to be an idler or lob
folly boy, and was allowed by Captain
Weston to take my watches and share
of deck duty with the rest Of the crew;
and at intervals I worked hard at a
Spanish grammar with Marc SHislop,
who would read don Quixote" in the
original, with a fluency that even my
old tutor at Elton might have envied.
i We were now clear of the Channel;
and. after a hard battle with the wind
and sea, we left the long roll of the
mighty Atlantic.
On the third night after my rescue,
we encountered dark and cloudy wealth
er, with a strong gale, which set all
the cabin afoat. My watch was over,
and 1 had just turned in, when heard
the voice Of Capt. Weston, who was
on deck, shouting through his trumpet
to "close reef the ~maintopsail, hand
the mainsatl. foresail, and f%oretopsail.

tom Nick" or "Cap'n Tom is said
to have made $4,000 at least, clear
profit, this year out of his fishing fleet.
Sc Say the wisest of the Bucksporters,
and1they refer to Capt. Thomas Mich
Olson Of that town and to his business
prosperity. Cap'n Tom is n of the
few men in Bucksport, Me-, who are
worth:more than 500, 600, and when he
started in life he hadn't a cent or a
soul to give him a helping hand, says
the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
The story of Cap'n Toms life is a
story Of thrift, t~ireless industry and
rapid money making. All along the
eastern coast, from Maine to Boston,
he is known as a remarkable man.
When he was 13 years of age he made
his first trip to sea-went fishing on
the Grand Banks in a Buckport
schooner, and for some years he con-
tinued to catch Goldfish on shares, as
one of the crew. The shares were lib
eral in those days, however, and the
men who were willing to work extra
hours, stealing the time from their
watch below, used to make a good
deal Of money by cutting out the Gods
tongues and sounds and picking them
for the home market, those parts of
ethe fishes being, by custom, thrown
in to. '"fat up" the mems wages.

= DRUG IN THE MARKET.

The Chicago News says: "For the
past two months money has been the
cheapest thing in America
1t is said that agents of the Russian
government are now in New York to
negotiate an immense loan, money be-
ing cheaper here than in Europe.
All this is new to the working peo-
pie Of America. They have seldom
found money scarcer than it is at
present.
They realize that they are making a
mint of money, for somebody, but not
for themselves.
The ships that leave our shore are
loaded to the waters edge with Amer
lean products, but the gold that comes.
from Europe. to. pay for them: becomes
silver and copper before It reaches the
real producer. ,.;,. ",ii ! ~..
The same paper that declares money
to be a drug in the market, on another
page. describes the restitution of a
mechanics family. Both mar and
wife were sick with typhoid and be-
cause they owed $40 rent the landlord
served them with notice to leave the
house at once.
No, it is not money, but human life,
that is the cheapest thing in Amer
ica."
Although money is a drug in tho
market there is nothing that men
will not do to obtain some Of it..
Men Of culture and refinement are
scrambling for jobs that devils would
despise.

The Russian m~eteorologist, Professor
Woetkof, calls attention to the almost
uninterrupted sunshine that prevails
in winter in the Irutsk region of Sibe-
ria. He thinks it would be an ideal
place for consumptives and for raising
plants under glass.

men Wis have thus used their credit
becUlae b%ankrupts and are driven out
of the business arena. Following this
comes a period Of universal depression
that is never arrested until a new
money supply is found to arrest falling
prices and restore conditions Under
which it is possible for enterprise TO
be conducted without loss.
Again. we are told that money is
abundant because the rate Of interest
IS low. When the money volume is
diminishing and prices are falling
business cannot be conducted at a
profit and return borrowed money
without paying any interest on the
money at all. On the other hand.
When prices are steady or slightly ad-
Varclng, all the money that can be
ornd will be in demand, and under
such conditions the rate of interest
never reaches Il very low point.

other and the general volume Of money
makes the level of price. Stable or
advancing prices have never failed to
call into requisition all the money that
could be found and it never will fail
to do SO. The normal business limit
mas never vet been reached. because as
soon as mans necessities are supplied
his ever growing and never satisfied
demand for Injuries call into activity
the forces of a higher civilization.
The apparently strange paradox OF
large boards of idle money in the
banks at the money centers While idle
men and women suffer for wages and
bread is readily understood when we
realize that money cannot be employ
ed in production without loss to its
employers under the gold standard,
which has cut off silver as a source
or money supply and has in % Years
doubled the value Of sold.

Fourth. Let every public necessity
be controlled by civil organization to
which it caters. Let municipalities
control their local car lines, light,
heat, water, etc. Let the state control
its lands and its mines. Let the ma
uional government control the national
railroads. telegraphs and other enter
prizes in which all the states have an
interest, on the same plan that our
mail service is now managed.

Failing prices is the bane Of enter
prise. When prices are falling, money
up in a safe or buried in the
ground VIII bring profit to its II
but If employed in the production of
wealth, its owner is certain to suffer
loss. When prices are falling debts
and taxes are absorbing the substance
of*the people, equities are being de-
'stroEed,; and the property of the CO.
pie. is being transferred unjustly to
l:e owners of public and private debts.

The price Of a single commodity may
rise or fall in response to the varying
supply or demand for that particular
article, but when the general level of
prices is sinking, it is money, which is
the pricing instrument, hat is becom-
ing scarce and consequently dear,
when means that a larger amount OF
things in general must be given in eN-
change for a given amount Of money,
says the Silver-Knight Waterman.

A condition confronts us. AS we
said in the beginning, we must con-

The contention is not made here that
a large volume Of money and high
prices is of great advantage over a
smaller volume of money and lower
prices. The activity of business and
the progress and development of a
nation are not dependent upon whether
prices be high or low, providing that
a general level of prices be maintained
and a general fall Of prices be avoided.
The progress Of the world has been
lAade at such times as money was
abundant and prices were advancing.
This condition has never failed to call
forth all the energies of a people, de-
velop the resources Of a country, fur
nish employment for all workers and
increase the sum of human happiness.
On the contrary, when through the
failure of exhaustion of the mines,
money supply has been cut off and the
general level of prices commenced tc
fall, the activities of a people are only
exerted while they can be upheld b,
private credit which is at such times
put into the breach to supply the place
OF money. The use of private credi
serves the purpose Of continuing pro
duction and creating wealth for a yer,
few years. at the end CT which time til,
