foreign customers at a reduced
price low enough to enable them
to double tn -ir value by mintsge.
When we knew what the purpo e
is that the silver is wanted for,
why do not our producers put the
price up, and if there be any OBJ
lection to this operation why not
pass their silver bullion through
a corporation, who will be able to
hold it until the price will adj
vance by a healthful demand.
And if that cannot be done, then
why not levy duty on all silver
bar exported for mintage purposes,
high enough to make the silver
dollar worth a dollar, this duty
need not apply to silver used in
the fine arts, or in trade and COM
merce, it should apply only to
silver bullion intended for export
for mintage into coin money, and
in this way our countrymen would
get the full value Of their product.

England and other countries do,
systematically flooding their peo-
pie with money at par, which costs
their respective governments only

POPE LEO XIII
AND
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.

Amongst the good and holy
men of the present day, stands
conspicuously forward the name
of Vincenzo Joachim Pecci, he
was born on the End day of March
1910, at Carpineto, in Italy; his
father was Count Louis Pecci, one
of a very ancient and noble family.
To-day our hero is none other
than the Holy Father Pope Leo
xiii. The glorious reign of this
holy man and Pontitf shines
through the mist of earthly
troubles and clouds. His great
ness, his goodness, has endeared
him to the hearts of all peoples
and kindreds and tongues. He
is beloved by friend and foe. He
outshines the luminaries of his
age as the sun outshines the stars
of heaven. At the age of eight
years he entered the Jesuit COL
lege at Viterby, and remained there
until the death of his sainted
mother, May she rest in peace"
Then it was that he entered the
Jesuit College at Rome.
He was earnest in all his studies,
exemplary in his conduct, and Of
gentle and open-hearted nature.
his winning ways made friends
for him, and he was beloved by,
both students and professors.
After completing his classical
study, he entered the ecclesiastical
state, and he was raised to the
Holy Priesthood on December 23d
1887.
He gained favor under the Holy
Father Pope Gregory xvi, and was
appointed to serve in many very
important Offices, and in con-
sequence of his faithfulness and
marked ability he was consecrated
bishop in 1871, and then in 1916
he was appointed archbishop Of
Perugia.
The education of the young was
among the dearest objects Of his
life. He established schools anc
seminaries for the education Of
young men for the priesthood, anc
also labored with wonderful sue
cess, in introducing into his do
cese the Ladies of the Sacred
Heart. All his labor, all his work
was done for the honor and glory
of God, and as a reward for al
his labor he was appointed car
dinal in 1853 by Pope Plus tx
Finally Almighty God rewarded
him for his fidelity, and earnest
zeal, and on February Goth A. D
1878, he was elected Pope, and he

poured out it's anathema, against
all of those who did not accept
the views set forth IN their own
publication. When father stood

that foreign nations looked on,

proclaim a bi-metallic monetary

this operation the Russian govern

over and above their actual cash
