of people was informed of what was going on.
 Moreover, such men as Judet and Drumont strike the keynote for a great number of provincial papers, which
 merely reproduce their articles and thus enlarge their influence. But besides l those papers there are good many others, on which it is not necessary to dwell now, especially because some or l them, like FEclair, TEeho de Paris, or Le Gaulois, are read by people who 1 could be able to think for themselves if | they cared to- Nor is it important to 1 characterize that paper, La Patrle, which all travellers going through Paris i have seen on the boulevard between 5 | and o'clock in the afternoon. It's edi- tor, Deputy Mileyoye, is a still more typical jingo than Judet, but his non sense is so universally acknowledged, even by his partisans, that he is far from having the credit of the others. It is he who five or six years ago was hOaXed by an English negro, Norton, who sold him alleged documents from the English embassy, proving that Eng land had bribed such men as Clemen-
  voye exhibited three forgeries on the floor of the Chamber of Deputies, and was driven out amidst hissing and laughing. He is, of course, now q firm believer in the syndicate,
 But there is still one paper I must quote whose influence, especially in Brittany, cannot be denied. Foreigners have heard little of it, and many Frenchmen seldom see it. But in the country places everywhere where the Catholic clergy has a strong foothold that paper is widely read It is called La Croix CThe Cross), and is edited by monks belonging to the order known as the Father Assumptionists. Although q religious paper, La Croix is a sheet which for it's slanderous and infamous character is second only to the Libre Parole. It breathes a spirit of hate, of ignorance and of fanaticism Free masons, Jews and Prote5tants are daily held up to eXecration. For five years in that paper Dreyfus has been a Judas who has sold his country, and all CTS. paid by the syndicate. When one Dfeyfusites were traitors and foreign bears in mind that most of the country people in France, when they read any papers at all, read either Le Petit Jour nal or La Croix, or both together, one needs not wonder that the majority of the nation should have been fooled so long, and who still remain so for a long time to come.--Othon Guerlac, Cores pondent of the Paris Temps and Steele, in Letter to the New York Tribune

BONDED MONEY
On a Gold and Silver Basis. By c. w. Post, or Michigan, in Mon

[By c. W. Post, or Michigan, in Mon cyl
 The unquestioned solidity of the Uni ted States government bond has taught us the practical fact separated from any theory, that the paper promises to pay' of the United States, although not supported by actual gold or silver, are the highest known form of security,
 But the total of these promises to pay
 must be kept well within safe limit of the earning capacity and therefore
 paying capacity, of the government
 Notwithstanding these facts, there ex- ists a desire to make all United States money world money and therefore based upon coin in the treasury vOuts. There is almost universal dislike to the use of actual coin in the transaction Of business the west complaining loudly because silver dollars are sent out there for circulation when their favored eastern brothers have the more con veuient money in the form of silver cer- tifCates.
 While these may have served good purpose in their time. there is at pres ent no more reason for the government considering the farming out Of cur rency concessions to individuals for private gain than there is to take up and consider the question of farming out the p0st-office arrangements. We are slow to rid ourselves of habits of procedure, and having become accus- toned to the national bank note scheme we have allowed it to continue long beyond it's period of usefulness.

LIGHTNING WORK ON PANTS"

LIGHTNING WORK ON PANTS"
 "Pantaloon- making has been reduced to great science in the big factories both here. and. in the North,' said a New Orleans clothing dealer. 'I refer, of course, to the cheap garments that in this section are sold almost entirely to the negroes. A pair of pants of that grade contains twelve pieces, the outlines of which are represented by slfts in the top of heavy table. Twentyfour sections of cloth are laid on the table and a revolving knife like buzz saw, travels through the slits. AS it does so it cuts the fabric into the exact patterns. The whole thing is done with incredible swiftness and the pile of cloth is scarcely deposited when it is fully cut The pieces are then sent on an electric carrier to the sewing machines which are also run by amotor. Each operative has only one thing to do. The first one will put in the leg seams, the second will sew up the body, the third will put on the waistband and a fourth will attach the straps. The button holes are worked by machinery and as rule the buttons themselves are of the automatic staple variety and are secured by a single motion of a, sort of punch.
 It is very interesting to watch the gar ment passing from hand to hand and it reaches the inspector all complete with a celerity that nearly takes ones breath away. It is then ironed by being press cd between a series of gas heated rollers and is ready to be ticketed and placed in stock. Under the present system the outputs of some of the large fac tories have been quadrupled during the last four or five years.-NeW Orleans Times Democrat.
