NOW ONE OF THEM.
Attitude Of Carlisle us a Member Of
the House and as Secretary
of the Treasury.

John G.. Carlisle, when a member of
the house of representatives, declared
in a speech delivered in that body that
the decentralization of silver was 1.-The
most gigantic crime of this or any other
age" and that it was greater calamity
than war, pestilence and famine COM
bined. Such was the strong language
of Mr.. Carlisle before he was taken in
and made secretary Of the treasury, for
the specific purpose of fastening that
Gigantic crime' upon the people of the
United States.
The decentralization of silver created
preteNt for the sale of United States
bonds. It was while a vast amount of
silver was in the treasury in the form
of bullion that Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Cleveland met J. Pierpont Morgan and
the agent of the Eothschilds in WASH
ington, at the dark hour of midnight,
and made a sale of bonds to them, which
yielded clear profit to the parties to
the transaction of more than So, 900, 900.
The government, of course, lost that
amount in the bargain. How this enor-
nous swag was divided may never be
known outside of the parties to the in
fanny.
But what has become of Carlisle? In.
stead of returning to his home in Cov-
ington, KY, when his term of office as
secretary of the treasury expired, he
pointed for Wall street, New York, and
became the attorney of Morgan and
other large money-changers.
ACTIONS speak louder than words."-

THOSE SILVER DOLLARS
why only 100000 of Them Were
Coined in the United States
Previous to 1879.

Many people think that because there
were but 100000 silver dollars coined
in the United States previous to 1873
we were not upon bimetallic stand
ard. The reason no more silver dol
lars were coined in the United States
was because the ratio of fifteen and one
half to one prevailed at the French
mint, which made silver worth S1.33
an ounce, whereas our ratio of sixteen
to one made it worth $1.29 an ounce.
The holder of silver bullion in the
United States, at the expenditure of
one cent per ounce, could transmit his
silver to the French mint and thus
make three cents more per ounce than
he could make by having it coined into
American dollars. Is it any wonder.
then, that there were no more silver
dollars coined in America than $780,
600? But during that period the great
quantity of silver that we transferred
to France was doing duty and service
as money in Europe, and was therefore
relieving the strain upon gold equally
as much as il that silver were in cir
.culation in the United States.-Illinois

in THE DAYS OF QUEEN ANNE.

If you were but living two hundred years
back
You'd wear a brocade and Powered silk
sacque; ,'.r
You'd powder your tresses and buckle your
shoes,
And little black patches you freely would
You'd revet in satin and yards of gold lace,
And put black mask on your dear little
face
You'd shipper and curtsy, and carry fan,
If you had been born in the days Of Queen
Anne!'
If were to live at the time record.
I'd wear cooked hat and a gold-hilted
sword
My head would be covered with soldierly
scars,
And glory new-gained in the Marlborough
wars;
And I'd sport a red coat, and I'd mount a
white wig.
And quote the Spectator. and talk very
big
In short I'd be wholly different man
If had been born in the days Of Queen
And you would be stanch to the Jacobite
cause,
And I should be meddling with new!y-made
laws
But still I should whisper: "Let strephon
proclaim
In the ear Of his Chloe his rapturous
flannel"
And I'd clasp you so close, and I'd love you
so true,
And I'd kiss you as now at this moment
do
For love is yet love- since the round world
began,
And hearts have survived since the days Of
Queen Anne.

GOLD AND THE PEOPLE.
Practical Working of Theory That
the Money Hardest to Get Is
the Best Money.

Mr.. Edison has invented a process
that successfully extracts the small
particles of gold that are known to
exist in the sands of New Mexico, Ari
iona, Southern California and doubt
less elsewhere. The sands of the Vel
lowstone and Missouri rivers also con-
tain gold, but not in quantity sufficient
ly large to pay for working by any
process in use before Mr.. Edison's in
vention. Now if this invention should
result in bringing all this gold into
commerce it will prove an estimable
BILE ssing to mankind, and incidentally
prove the truth of bimetallic argument,
namely, that an abundance of money
makes times good and brings comfort
and luxury to the people. Recent new
discoveries of gold and our large bal
ances of trade, also in gold, have done
this in the United States for those who
were already rich; but gold does not
come down to the poor, and consequent
~ they have felt its benefits only as the
crumbs fall from the rich mans table.
Silver is the poor mans money-the
money that>circulates among the mass
es, and it is the only money that does
or can fill the place. The rich have
been blessed with an abundance of gold
-'the rich mans money''-now they
should be generous and give the poor
a chance.
1t is said that the salt water of the
sea is also largely impregnated with
gold, and if this be true some wizard of
invention will find way to get it out.
And who will say that the dream of the
old alchemists, who imagined they
could compound gold from it's natural
elements, may not soon be realized?
When that time shall come, each cit
izen can have his private gold mine in
his back parlor, and compound enough
for his daily needs before breakfast in
the morning. Then what will become
of the intrinsic" value theory? and
will the money changers still insist
on having all other kinds of money ire
deemed" in gold? Hardly! When
those golden days shall have arrived,
the misers will demand that their
money be '*redeemed' in diamonds, or
some other product equally as hard to
get-their ideas of redemption being
that Che redeeming factor should con-
sist Of something which they hold as
monopoly and which nobody else can
ge> without playing the character of
hands up in the old highwayman's
game of "stand and deliver" For that
is precisely what is meant by redeem
ing money; and any man who sin
cerely believes that money ought to be
redeemed in some one particularly
scarce and hard-to-get commodity is
at heart a highwayman-or a Simple

MYSTERY OF A PAUNCH.
Quaint Story Of Big Belted Man from
the East End of
London.

For many years a typical East end
character" whose real name was Sol
ONION Sackruni, lived at No. 9 Green
Dragon yard, E. He was never called
by his real name, however, because the
! children of the district had invented an.
other name for him which they thought
more appropriate. Solomon Sackruni
had an immense paunch, and it was to
this fact that he owed his nickname
The Hebrew youths who knew him were
mostly afraid of him, and to account
for their fears they invented pleasing
legend to the effect that he was accus.
toned to STAY and eat all children who
fell into his grasp. Hence also his ap
propriate cognomen, Shechet (the
slayer).
In the course of time Solomon Sack.
rum, the slayer, died, and when his
body was prepared for burial it was
discovered that his immense paunch
was not a natural development, but
huge roll of cloth which he wore
around his midst. Coins of all sorts
fell out of the slayer's artificial
paunch-gold and silver of various de.
nominations. With the last roll a
folded document fell upon the floor. It
was post Office savings bank book,
and in it were entered deposits amount
ing to 6 80, all in the name of Solomon
Shechet.
The mourners were surprised that
Solomon Sackruni should have kept
his account with the postmaster gen.
eral in his nickname of Shechet, but
they assumed that it had been his
whim to do so, and in due course Mrs.
A. Morris, next of kin to the deceased,
applied to the savings bank for the
money.
She was promptly informed that tho
bank book was never the property of
her father, but belonged to quite an
other Solomon Shechet, who lost it in
1896 and duly reported the loss at that
time. Mrs. Morris placed the matter
in the hands of Liverpool street so.

POEMS WORTH READING.
The Struggle OF the Unbeiisver.

I am an unbeliever,
One who thinks there Ia Higher Power; calls Him
God.
And looks to Him as the Creator Of all things-
But nothing more-and yet once
took the great Bible from the shelf.
And almost smiling laid 1t on my knees
Aud read OF Christ.
And there before me spread the tale OF One.
So noble. pure and nlled with love and piety,
That bowed low my head.
And the playful smile vanished from my lips.
And in its stead my eyes grew dim and moist
And my heart expanded, yet seemed followed out,
For then realized how faith may nll the soul
And was faithlcss.
Simple the tale and clear,
And ringing ont with passionate belief.
And then murmured loud.
No wonder It has moved the Western world
To greater actions and to nobler deeds.
To vastcr thoughts and high ideals.
And pushed it even further than itself"
And yet Thought again
How strangcits
That so huch strife has followed In His train,
He who was Peace and Holiness in Man.
The carpenters son, so simple humble. pure,
Yet the most perfect that ever lived on earth
Could not but lead men like a shining light.
And in His works without the supernatural.
There lay SO great lesson
That felt elevated and cen purified.
