MONEY PLENTIFUL.
That Is 1t Is Plentiful in Bank VAULTS
but Not in the Peo-
ple's Pockets.

1t is true that money is plentiful In
the bank vaults. The banks of To-
peka, Kan, have made public an agree
ment to discontinue paying interest
on time deposits. Nonthinking writer's
parade the large surplus in the banks
as a refutation of bimetallists' argu-
ments; but the condition they boast OF
is not good one, and it is direct re-
suit of the goldbug policy. In an era
of falling prices business is unprofita-
BILE. When your stock of goods depre-
ciates in value on your hands, failure
is probable. Consequently money stays
out of business, lies idle in the banks,
and interest on time deposits is no
longer necessary to bring to the bank.
ers more money than they know what
to do with. We prefer the rising mar
ket of former good and cheap money
days, when all labor was employed and
every dollar was in demand for invest
ment in productive industry and bust,
ness. We shall see such times again.
The people will not always permit d
moneyed oligarchy to enact, interpret
and execute the laws. In the meantime
worse days are in store, and very soon.
When the trusts, made inevitable by
the business stagnation due to the gold
standard policy, have driven all small
fry out of the field and have made it inn
possible for new enterprises to start.
there will be still greater glut of
money in the banks, greater scarcity
of money in the pockets of the masses,
less wages and smaller chances for en-
ployment. Tt is a necessary experience,
and after it will come political changes.

REMARKABLE TREES.
Furnish the Bread for Natives of Vari
Gus Places

In many parts of India the flowers
of saponaceouS tree form reall y i'm
portant article of food The bios
SONS are very numerous and succu-
lent, and are eaten raw. They are also
sun-dried and sold in the bazars. A
single tree affords from 200 to 400
pounds of the flowers. The flowers
of another species are employed in a
similar manner by the natives of My
sore and Malabar. They are either
dried or roasted and then eaten, or
bruised and boiled to Jelly and made
into small balls to be traded for other
food. Among the queerest of trees
is the baobab, or monkey bread. 1t
grows to the height of 70 feet, but its
girth is entirely out of proportion to
its height, some trees being so feet in
diameter You can cut a room big
enough for 80 men into the trunk of
baobab, and the tree lives on and
fourishes. 1t produces fruit about a
loot long, which is edible.
The carnauba tree, a species of
palm, is one of the most valuable veg
etable productions of Bahia, Rio
Grande del Norte and other localities.
1t flourishes without culture, resists
drought, and always appears green
and luxuriant. Its roots possess prop
critics similar to those of the sarsa-
parilla. The trunk furnishes a su-
perior fiber When the tree is young
it yields vinegar, a saccharine matter,
and a species of gum closely resem-
bling sago. Its wood is excellently
suited for the manufacture of musical
instruments, as well as for tubes and
conduits for water. The pulp of the
fruit is very palatable, and the oily
nut, roasted and pulverized, is good
substitute for coffee. The trunk also
yields a flour similar to maizena,.
With the straw, hats, brooms and bas-
kets are made, and over $500,000
worth of it alone are exported to Eng
land yearly. Lastly, wax used for
making candles is extracted from the
leaves.-LadieS' Home Journal.

VOLUME OF MONEY.
What Conspiracy of Wealthy Men
Aided by Congregational Action
Has Accomplished.

What would be the thought OF the
farmer, manufacturer or anyone en-
gagged in any business of production or
exchange, who would, when he found
the margin of income over expense
small, deliberately set his wits to work
to devise method by which to de-
crease the selling price of his products
and his wares, and thus at the same
time increase the amount of his in
debtedness and make it more difficult
to pay when measured by his products
or his property? And yet, as foolish
as it may appear, and is, it is precisely
what has been done for the people of
this country by congressional action.
1t is exactly what has resulted from
laws that have passed from time to
time during the last 80 years, by which
the volume of our money has been
gradually but certainly contracted.
Congress possibly did not intend snch
result, but the influence that secured
the enactment of such legislation was
exerted by men who knew what the re-
suit would be, and intended to bring
that result about. The men who cum
spire to wreck train and rob the pas
sengers are not more culpable, when
judged by the principles of common
honesty and morality, than the
men who were instrumental in securing
such Legislation, and who by it intend-
ed to produce such results.

The Cause of Free Silver.
GoLDBUG PROSPERITY.
Money Congested I'm New York, But
Poor Men Can't Get 1t at
Any Price.

The president informs us, with true
Pecksniffian ALTERATION, that never be-
fore was ''the money of the country so
abundant and the wealth of the country
so great" The commercial journals as
sure us that the balance of trade"
surpasses all previous records and that
the reports of the clearing houses are
''out of sight," while Russell Sage caps
the climax by asserting that we have
vast stores of wealth" which he fears
"the people, will not know how to ju-
diciously invest. From the society jour
nails we learn that the successful gam
blers in stocks and bonds are literally
rolling in wealth; that their money
is burden to them, and that they are
plunging into all sorts of wild extrav-
agances in their efforts to find ways to
spend it. We are told that these people
battle themselves in carved marble bath
tubs, supplied with solid gold faucets,
and that their chambers are tapestried
with silks costing $35 to $50 a yard, etc.
Among this class there is a saturnalia
of extravaganza, and no one questions
the fact that they have plenty of money.
But there is another side, and very
dark and gruesome one. ''New York
cries prosperity" says the Herald of
that city, 'and speculation reaches
heights it has never reached before.
Money is q drug; but in spite of the
plethora hardly dollar of it is entering
into any productive industry. Loans
can be had for two and three per cent.
In other parts of the country money
is hardly to be had at eight and twelve
per cent" And the Herald might have
wealth-producing classes it cannot be
had at any per cent, because the gold
standard has rendered their securities
worthless. These reports about pros
perity are fallacious humbugs, part
and parcel of the campaign ammunition
of the money monster, intended to mis-
lead that class of the people that you
can "fool all the time" Bank clearings
are but little more than the exchange
of checks among grain and stock gam
blers. They have no connection with
the real business of the country. Those
who publish these reports as an evil
dence of prosperity know that they are
lies. The mass of the country people
use neither checks nor money in their
business transactions. The gold stand
ard has reduced them to conditions of
barter, like the savages. There is prac-
tically no money in circulation among
the people. 1t is congested in the hands
of the usurers and the gamblers. And
what signifies the balance of trade
to the planter who barters his cotton
or his wheat to his storekeeper for
less than it costs him to raise it?--
Valley Democrat.

A QUEER BUSINESS.
Men Who Move Nimbly to Secure e
Nimble Dollar.


"What's your business?" asked Po-
lice Magistrate OlmStead of man
who was before him for abusing his
wife because supper was not ready.
I'm a street hustler" was the re-
ply.
Explanations showed that the man
represented a large number of his fell
lows in New York who have no regu-
lar occupation, but nevertheless man
age to make good living, particular
ly at this time of the year. They ioiter
around the streets until they see van
load of furniture going somewhere.
Then they follow the wagon, often
times for miles. The wagon drivers
do not take kindly to these men and
will not let them ride.
Men who are handy with their
hands," as it was explained to the
magistrate, have no difficulty in get
ting a job laying carpets, cleaning
windows and furnaces or hanging out
clotheslines. 1t is poor wagon chase
that does not net from three to four
dollars load. Sometimes, when two
or more men are following the same
load, competition is keen. Tne wag-
on driver whips his horses and the
prize falls to the man who has the
fleetest foot and the greatest wind
nower.-N. Y. Herald

Bank-ControIIed.

No goldbug claims that there will
ever be gold enough to meet the de-
mand for currency. They all concede
that gold must always be supplemented
by silver as subsidiary coin and by
paper although the only style
of paper money they are prepared to
recognize as honest" is the bank note,
so profitable to those who issue it. The
people are growing more and more to
prefer the free use as money of all of
the gold and silver offered at the mints,
supplemented with government green
backs. Bank controlled curSency
means a bank controlled people.-Illi-

The gentleman extracted there
from the sum of $50, which he laid on
the table, and then pushing toward
the professor the writing materials he
had been using, said: write as I
dictate"
Prof. Glamis picked up the pen and
wrote from dictation, as follows:
MY Dear Oscar: am exceedingly
sorry that you are in financial difficult
ties, but l am sure that you are not
to blame. However, even if you were,
| would not refuse you assistance, in
view of the many obligations am un-
der to you. I beg you to accept the
inclosed sum, So 900, and I hope that
| can be of further service to you.
You need not worry about the return
of the money, as | have been very
successful on my tour, and shall not
need it for some time, if ever. Give
my regards to your sister, and believe
me, as ever,
"Your true friend.

"Now," said Mr.. Conyers, make
an exact copy of that document"
This was done with care and pre-
cission, and after Mr.. Conyers had
read it over, he rose to go.
Il understand from the clerk"
said he, 'Ethat you leave on the $40
train, and [ will that you remain in
this state until o'clock. [ have left
you enough money for current ex-
penses. The paper on the table will
explain to you what has happened,
and l hope that you will always retain
pleasant memories of your pupil and
his aptness."
Precisely at o'clock Prof. Glamis
awoke and took the $40 train accord
ing to programme. He said nothing to
the clerk, and what he said to HIM
self is not recorded. He certainly did
not refer to his experience in his fu-
ture lectures, but it was noticed that
