THE GOLD BASIS VS.. A SPECIE
BASIS.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The American Banker, "a weekly
financial journal, devoted to the inter
terests of banks, bankers and inves
tors" in the city of New York, says:
In the current North American Re
view there is a paper contributed by
MI. W. J. Bryan, which purports to
be an Interpretation Of the political
principles Of Thomas Jefferson. 1t
does not pretend 30 be exhaustive and
is, in fact, OF the most superficial, IN
philosophical and irrelevant character.
It re quires a much deeper scholarship
than that which the author Of this arti
Gle is capable of rendering to interpret
the intellectual remains Of Jefferson.
But, aside from this, there is one prin.
cipIe which Jefferson profoundly be
lieved in which Mr.. Bryan has failed
to take into e~xegetical consideration.
In J~efferson's mt s rage of 1901, he spoke
OF the honest payment Of our debts
and toe sacred preservation Of the
public faith This principle, if it was
honestly meant, aud Mr.. Bryan wilt
not impeach Jeffarson's moral integ
rity. does not permit o. debt contracted
on the gold basis to be paid on O sGlUer
basis At all events. The attempt to
justify the political dogmas which Nj.
Bryan advocates by the authority Of
Jefferson, does not Increase the valid
ity or utility of those doctrines in the
least; on the contrary, if successful,
it simply results in the qualification Of
Jefferson"
The italics above are ours, and really
emphasize and compose the whole
point in this criticism of the article in
this Review. Without argument the
editor resorts to the low level of the
mud linging politician-then suggests
that Jefferson would not permit debt
contracted on THE gold basis to be
paid on a SILVER basis" In Jef8r.
sons day there was not any TIE
GOLD basis, nor any SILVER basis,
but there was A SPECIE basis, which
meant gold and silver, or either Of them.
These who est ablished by stealth what
is now called THE GOLD basis, and
thus forced millions Of dollars from the
hard earnings OF the wealth producers
OF this country on debts contracted on
TIE SPEJiE basis, know that Jefar-
son did not advocate a single standard
OF either metal, but specie. which in
cluded both and ell that could be gotten
OF both. But the Banker would evi
IDENTIFY debase silver and double the
actual purchasing power of gold there
by. and thus force the payment in
god of debts contracted on q specie
basis, and If any n dares TO object,
nls remarks are most super f ciaI,"
''unphIIoeoph:c4l," irrelevant" and
dishonest.

TO THE BUSINESS AGENTS.

Brethren: l wish again to cali your
attention to the Importance of canvass
ing for orders at your county meet
ings.
This will be your last chance at
securing one Of the premiums that
have offered to the person sending in
most business to the State Agency.
I have in mind not less than half g.
dozen, who will probably miss these
premiums, who could easily get one of
them, by putting in good work at the
county meetings. Some one will get
them. Why not be one of the lucky
numbers

Mr.. Barnes also wonts our best men

four could do the work and he dis
charges two of them. Organize every
industry into trusts and fix maximum
prices and the demand for nails will
double and treble and the plant at
Charlottesville will open up. Every
industry outside Of a trust is suffer
ing because of low prices. Let the
farmers organize trusts, increase the
price Of their produce to the maximum
and they will create a demand that
will tex every industry to it's full
capacity. Unless they do this the next
two years will witness the closing Of
hundreds of plants all over the coun
try. Sharp competition forces the
cotton and tobacco planters to curtail
their expenses and competition has the
same effect upon the manufacturers.
The price of manufactured products
is 80 per cent. low.

desiring to go to his room, thought he
would try a scheme to prevent some
one from walking off with it.
Taking slip of paper from his
pocket, in huge black letters he wrote
the following notice: Beware! The
man who owns this umbrella weighs
over 250 pounds and can strike a ten

1T was not long thereafter that
some one was attracted by the sign.

For many years | was teacher in
Afghanistan, and during my stay In
that country l was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
Of torture. Here is one they use in the
case of women to extract testimony.
1t consists in prying off the finger
nails by means Of small chisel or
bradawl. which is showed in slowly
but firmly from the finger tip down
ward under the quick of the nail, which
is then lifted up and out.
This is another that | once saw used
in the case OF small child who would
not own up to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between its fingers and
the fingers then squeezed together, 50
that the sticks crushed into the bones.
SO much for women and children.
Here is a method of eliciting informa-
ton from an unwilling man: The cul-
prit is stripped to the waist, and then
boiling oil is flicked on to his back.
This seldom fails to find the mans
tongue.
The above are the chief forms Of
'fahana," or torture, for the purpose
of eliciting information, but it must
be stated that such infections as
nipping of noses. tearing out tongues
or splitting eyeballs do not come under
the heading Of "fahana." they being
punishments rather than tOrtures.-

PEARYS PARTY.
What IA Member of the Relief Expe-
di;iOn Says.

ditiOn Says.
Charles Frederick Sylvester, curator
of anatomy in Princeton university,
who has been with the Peary relief
party, has returned from North sgd
ney, Cape Breton. Mr.. Sylvester said
the expedition suffered no inconven-
fence from the cold. The trip north
was rather an excursion, freighted
with an abundance of real sport in
hunting arctic bears, partridges, ducks
and foxes. The Diana left Sydney
July II, and in less than two weeks
arrived at Driscoe island, off the coast
of South Greenland. Farther up the
coast the party received letters from
Peary, informing them where to land
the provisions.
AS the expedition was going across
to Foulka ford. a ship was sighted
which was thought to be the Wind
ward. Closer inspection, however, re-
vealed it as the Fran, Nansen's old
vessel, now under the command of
Sverdrup, who is conducting a Norwe
gian expedition. The Diana was then
steered toward Etah, where Lieuten-
ant Peary was found unloading the
Windward, preparatory to making that
place his winter quarters.
Peary was Immediately taken aboard
the Diana and the Eskimo settlements
on the coast of North Greenland were
visited. 1t was highly interesting
trip among these people, who live in
absolutely Independent families. In
oIn IIilUnnfnII onI
Whale sound were thoroughly exam
ined.
The entire party next enjoyed the eX-
hilarating sport of walrus hunt, and
after killing about 40 the locality re-
sembled a Chicago stOckyard. The
Diana started south shortly after,
having been preceded n week before
by the Windward. Before leaving
Etah the cargo was successfully land
ed. Peary has now enough provisions
to last two or three years. Every man
of the expedition is n college represent
ative, and they expect Peary to reach
the pole, because he knows what he
has got to do and how to do it.
Fort Conger, 50 degrees north, Mr..
Sylvester says, will be Peary's starting
point. No great rush will be made to-
ward the pole; rather, a steady plan to
provision the way north from Fort
Conger will be his method. The lieu
tenant IS becoming familiar with trav-
ell, and is using his dogs to great ad-
vantage. One of the most pleasing
features of the trip was the good gun
ming for arctic hares, which are pure
white and could be seen for five miles
over the hills.
AS a result of the expedition Prince
ton receives 4 greater supply Of scien-
tific' material than was ever collected
from a like tour. Besides securing the
material of deep sea dredging, vast
amount of anatomical structure was
brought together. Several new species
Of animal life were also found.

The COekntOO's Nutcracker Bill.


There is a wonderful cockatoo in one
Of the islands of the Indian ocean, near
New Guinea. 1t is as large as n full
grown pheasant, and it is of a jet black
color. The bird is remarkable for its
immensely strong bill ard the clever
manner in which it is used. The bill
is as hard as steel, and the upper part
has Il deep notch.
Now. the favorite food of this cocka-
too is the canary nut; but there is Won
dcrful ingenuity required to get at it,
for the nut is something like Il Brazil
nut, but it is ten times as hard. In
fact, it requires the blow of n heavy
hammer to crack it. 1t is quite smooth
and somewhat triangular in shape.
Nature appears to have given the
poSsesSor of the wonderful bill some
intelligence to direct its powers. for
the cockatoo takes one of the nuts
edgewise In its bill and by Il carving
motion of its sharp lower bcak makes
n small notch on it. This done, the
third takes hold of the nut with it's
claws. and. biting off n piece of leaf.
retains it in the deep notch of the up
per part of the bill. Then the nut Is
seized between the upper and lower
parts of the bill and is prevented slip
ping by the peculiar texture Of the
leaf. \ sharp nip or two breaks off n
tiny piece of the shell of the nut The
bird then seizcs the nut in Its claws
and pokes the long sharp point Of its
bill into the hole and picks out the
kernel bit by bit.-Savannah News.

A Nice Little EIODement.

"Thcre's n rather funny circum-
stance connected with the elopement
here last week." remarked the To-
quacious landlord of the tavern in
remote Sussex village, says an English
paper. addressing a cyclist who had
stopped for refreshment.
"A young man who hadn't known
her so very long ran away with the
squire's daughter, and day or two
later the old gentleman sent this mes
sage by letter to his new son-in-law:
"'All is forgiven. Come home
"TO this the young fellow tele-
graphed the reply:
"'All won't be forgiven until have
kicked you well for letting me elope
with your daughter You'd better not
be at home when | come, that's all!"

The Sermon of the Rose.

Willful we are in our infrmity
Of childish questioning and dscontent.
Whateer befalls us is divinely meant
Thou truth the clearer for thy mystcryi
Make us to meet what is or is to be
With fervid welcome, knowing it is sent
To serve us in some way full excellent,
Though we discern it all elatedly.
The rosebuds, and the rose blooms, and the
rose
Bows in the dews, and in its fullness loi
Is in the lovers hand, then on the breast
OF her he loves, and there dies. And who knows
Which fate of all rose may undergo
Is fairest, dearest, sweetest, loyelicst?
Nay, we are children; we will not mature.
A blessed gift must seem a theft, and tears
Must storm our eyes when but joy appears
In drcar disguise of sorrow, and how poor
We seem when we are richest-moSt secure
Against all poverty the lifelong years
We yet must waste in childish doubts and fears
That, in despite of reason still endured
Alas! The sermon of the rose we will
Not wisely ponder, nor the sobs of grief
Lullcd into sighs of rapture, nor the cry
OF fierce defiance that again is still.
Be patient-patient without frail belief,
And stay it yet n little ere we die.
o opulent lie of ours, though dispossesscd
OF treasure after treasure! Youth most fair
Went first, but left its priceless coil of hair
Moaned over sleepless nights, kissed and ca.
reSScd
Through drip and blur of tears the tenderest.
And next went love-the ripe rose glowing
there,
Her very sister! 1t is here. But where
Is she, of all the world the first and best2
And yet how sweet the sweet earth after rain
How sweet the sunlight on the garden wall
Across the roses, and how sweetly flows
The limpid yodcl of the brook againl
And yet-and yet how sweeter, after all,
The smoldering sweetness of n dead red rose!
