READING OF BOOKS.
Wedding Out All the Trash Possible In
Self-Defense.

Self-Defense.
The ability to appreciate or the will
ingness to study book, a great pic
ture or even great play is rare. says
the Brooklyn Eagle. If the prosperity
of art or literature depended upon this
cultivated minority art and literature
would be sorry businesses. That was
the fact not so many generations ago,
and poets and painters starved and
begged and truckled to unworthy pa
irons" all over Europe 1t is doubtful
if the proportion Of strong minds has
greatly increased since those unhappy
days. There has been, however, an
enormous increase in education, and
the reading. the play-going and the
picture-seeing habits have grown ac-
cordingly. None will pretend that that
is not good thing for art and litera-
ture, and no one but a dyspeptic die
tatOr would contend that these new
readers must read the things which
the dictator considered best for them.
The people who read for education
will read only SO fast as they can as
simulate They will, perforce, confine
themselves to a very small part Of
the printed output, and will, in self
defense. weed cut all the trash posi-
BILE. They will also read those books
which appeal to their own minds and
will speedily learn to escape being
lured into the perusal of books which
are dry husks to them, no matter how
vital they may be to book review
ere. This class of readers is small
1t is the intellectual aristocracy. I'm
doubtediy it is fine thing to have this
caste increased. Children should be
taught how to read books and that
their education stops only with their
death-bed.

We have seen that free silver would
aise prices, but this would not GO so
FAR rs TO work any injustice TO cred
itors generally. The tremendous de-
mand for silver created by a country
that equals in productive energy Eng

would enhance its exchange power
over product greatly. and thereby
lower the price level of silver lands.
Prices would rise. however, till the
owners Of silver bullion could buy no

lands. Then when their general price

1t was about half-past four o'clock on
the morning of the Fourth when the
three boys unlocked the church door
II was very quiet for a Fourth Of July

banging of a gun. the feeble popping
Of firccrackers and torpedOes. and the

were very few people astir.

at each other in silent amazemcnt and

bell swayed backward and forward;

claimed Rob.

But somebody had been up in that cor

idly what anybody could have been

CHANGE IN THE ISSUE.
Only Alteration In 1900 VIII ne Drop
ping Of the Mask by the
Gold Men.

There is only one change that can be
made in the issue for 1900. That is the
dropping Of the mask by the gold men.
In state after state the republican
party is repudiating the ST. Louis plat
form. abandoning all pretense Of favor
ing bmetallism, and declaring broadly
for the gold standard. That. Of course,
is what the leaders really meant in
1880, but they disguised the fact and
deceived many honest men. Ii is now
clear just where the party organization
stands. 1t is practical certainty that
il France and India were TO signify their
willingness to join us in an agreement
for the restoration Of silver. the repub-
lican party would not accept We
never believed that il would. that is,
since the election Of Mckinley. If the
British government had agreed to open
the Indian mint, and France had agreed
to open hers. we do not believe that Mr..
Mckinley would have accepted the prop.
osition. The influences behind him
would not have allowed il. The claim
would Immediately have been made
that the United States, France and In.
dia would not rfake a sufficiently strong
combination. If all of Europe had
agreed, excepting only England, il
would still have been insisted that bi
bctallisin could not be safely under
taken. The administration is abso
lutely committed TO the gold standard
and the probability is that in 1000 there
will be no effort at disguise. Tho only
change of issue will lie in its greater
eleG-..ess and certainty.
