GOLDBUG PROSPERITY.
Money Congested in 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 1.-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
tout of sight," while Russell Sage caps
the climax by asserting that we have
''vast stores of wealth. which he fears
1.-THE people" will not know how to jul
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 $50 to $50 yard, etc.
Among this class there is saturnalia
of extravaganza, and no one questions
the fact that they have plenty of money.
But there is another side, and a very
dark and gruesome one. New York

that city, land speculation reaches
heights it has never reached before.
Money is a drug; but in spite of the
plethora hardly dollar Of it is entering

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
! added that among the farmers and
| wealthproducing classes it cannot be
had at any per cent, because the geld
standard has rendered their securities
worthless. These reports about pros
| perity are fallacious humbugs, a 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

The attitude of the German-Ameri-
cans and their press is very significant.
In Minnesota there is marked change
in sentiment from former strong lean
ings to Republicanism, under develop
ments everywhere emphasizing the
vicious Republican system. 1t is the
same in Ohio under the leadership of
such journals as the "Deutsche Ums-
chau," of Greenfield. The Chicago
German-Americans have organized
against the proposed 'English-American
alliance such as is advocated by Senator
G. K. Davis, while the German Press
of Missouri acting as a body have COR
demned the Republican policies of al

of the trusts and combines.
In fact the outlook is that
the German-Americans will next year
be found in line with the policies for
which w. J. Bryan will stand on the

MONEY PLENTIFUL.
That Is 1t Is Plentiful in Bank Vaults,
But Not in the Peo-
pies Pockets

It is true that money is plentiful in
the bank vaults. The banks of To-
pel>a, 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 refutation of bimetallists' argu-
ments; but the condition they boast of
is not a good one, and it is direct re-
suit of the goldbug policy. In an era
of falling prices business is unprofta-
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 a
moneyed oligarchy to enact, interpret
edA1u CAcCuCc Cuc 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 i'm
possible for new enterprises to start,
there will be still greater glut of
money in the banks, a greater scarcity
OF money in the pockets of the masses,
less wages and smaller chances for en-
ployment. 1t is necessary experience,
and after it will come political changes.
Bnnk-Controlled.
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 a subsidiary coin and by
paper money-although the only style
OF paper money they are prepared ia
recognize as honest" is tho 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 currency
means bank controlled people.-nli.

sUN-COoKED PRESERVES.

Those of you who were interested in
the fruit melange described in Good
Cookery some weeks ago will be glad to
carry the preserve study a little fur
Their and take up that of sun-cooked
fruits. With all due respect to other
accepted methods [ believe the sun
cooked preserves are the most perfect
in appearance and flavor, and expert
ence teaches they keep better and lon
ger in perfect condition than those pre-
pared in any other way.
AS for all preserves you should be
careful to select the best favored and
most perfect fruit obtanable and in no
case use that which is overrpe. AS one
bad oyster will spoil stew. so a little
spoiled fruit will ruin a jar of preserves
and render your time and expense use
less.
Sun-cooked preserves should be lit
orally cooked in the sun, and because of
that fact you should consult the weather
indications before beginning their prep
aration, a series of bright days being es-
genital to success. No matter how hot
the weather if the sun shines clearly.
Should you be unfortunate, however
and rain come after you have begun pre-
serving you may keep the fruit day or
two in an earthen crock, but should the
weather continue unproptous you had
better complete the work over the stove
to prevent spelling.
One other bit of advice: prepare only
small lots. | would not attempt more
than five or six pounds at once. If more
is needed cook again, or as many times
as necessary.
Having selected your fruit, which if
large should be sliced thinly, allow to
each pound three-quarters of a pound of
best graduated sugar. and in a porce
lain-lined kettle let it stand until the
juices come from the fruit; then place
on the fire and let it boil slowly for a
few minutes until we'll heated through,
Swimming off any scum that may arise
Now put the preserve into shallow

dishes on a table place it in the sun.
moving as often as necessary to keep it
In sunshine. | have found sunny yard
admirably adapted to this purpose At
night take in the preserve and put il all
into crock together, the next morning
returning 10 the plates ana the sunshine.
Repeat this operation for three days of
good sunshine when without further
cooking you may bottle or can and seal
ms you would any other preserve You
will find this method of making pre-
serves particularly nice when small
fruits or berries are used
If in setting the table in the yard ants
are troublesome place each leg of the
table In a dish of water and they will
no longer disturb you. If you use a cloth
cover on the table be careful and place
the supports so the cloth will not touch
the preserve, and so tie It that flies can
not crawl beneath II.
This is the season of the year when
wise (and otherWise) housewives should
be busy with preserves and jams, and the
above recipe will please everyone who
gives 1t fair trial.

Drinking Ice Water in Summer.

Iced water is preferable TO ice wa
ter-iced water being cooled by the
ice without being brought in direct con-
tact with it. If the ice that is placed
III the water were of the same water
as that in which it is used, the results
of drinking ice water would not be so
detrimental to the system, but the mix
ture of the two kinds of water forms
one of the Objectionable features. The
less Ice water one drinks the better. Ice
water increases ones thirst--that Is,
there is greater tendency to desire
drink, inasmuch as ice water slakes the
thirst for a moment but does mot
quench It, Avoid cold drinks with
meals, unless the stomach is sufficient
ly strong to react quickly; if not, di-
gestion is retarded, for no food can be
digested unless the temperature of the
stomach is at 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Also avoid eating those things which
create an undls thrst.-Ladies' Home

In Lelirinr or Canning.

Canning and jelly making have been
begun. Other columns may state that
all fruits should be plucked before they
are very ripe, and on clear, dry day.
However, they may omit to say that
four or five common playing marbles
in boiling fruit juice, as they move
about on the bottom Of the sauce pan,
will preclude the necessity Of constant
stirring in order to prevent scorching.
The housewives frock, when engaged in
such duties, should be a skirt of print
or some washable material, made quite
short Over it may be worn a sort of
combined waist and apron, preferably
of Bingham. A shirt waist made rather
scantier in front than usual is supple
mented by long apron of two breadths.
One-half of 1t is sewed to the belt, the
other laps over the left side, attached to
a belt of its own. This apron saves the
sleeves of the ordinary waist worn with
the usual bib apron, and is likewise
cooler. It is only moments work to
slip off this novel arrangement and don
cool, fresh shirt waist.-Cincinnati

ROLLED TURKEY

Stuff turkey as for roasting. A very
nice dressing is made by chopping half
a pint of oysters and mixing them with
bread crumbs, butter, pepper, salt,
thyme, and wet with milk or water.
Basic about the turkey a thin cloth, the
inside of which has been dredged with
flour, and put it to boil in cold water
with teaspoonfu of salt in it, a large
turkey should boil three hours; skim
well while boiling. Serve with oyster
sauce, made by adding to a cupful of the
liquor in which the turkey was boiled,
an equal amount of milk, and eight
oysters chopped fine; season with minced
parsley, stir in tablespoonful of flour
wet with cold milk, and a tablespoonful
Of butter. Boil up once and pour into a
tureen.

SURGERY BILL FOR A CAT.
Tabby's Nose Was Cyrano de BerEe-
rae Build and 1t Had to
Be Changed.

Timson, large tortoise Angora cat,
owned by Mrs. Samuel Rawley, a
wealthy woman, living on farm about
six miles from ST. Louis, had an opera
ton performed on his face recently, to
the like of which probably no cat ever
before was subjected.
Timson was feline De Bergerac. All
his native charm and beauty, his chiv-
airy and the courtly manners inherited
from proud, unbroken line of an
cestors, were spoiled by big yellow
smudge on his nose. For Timson to
assume Beau Brummel airs with that
plebeian yellow nose was as absurdly
impossible as Chuck Connors in an
opera hat.
If science, through the agency of
dermatology, couldremove the blemish,
it should be removed. Correspondence
was opened with a prominent surgeon,
and after the nature of the blemish had
been minutely described to him he con-
scented to remove it, and suggested
that Timson be forwarded to his clinic
in New York.
After examination of the stricken
nose the doctor announced that cleo
tricity was the only means which could
be employed TO remove the tortoise
hued hair, and that after it had been
taken out the nose would have to be
blistered slightly to insure that the
hair would grow in white.
The electrical needles, he admitted,
would be more or less painful, and
after watching his patient sinking his
long claws into his blanket and then
draw them out, as though 70 keep him
self in training, he decided to admin
lister an anesthetic.
After Timson had succumbed to it's
influence the needles were applied and
one by one the disfguring haiip were
removed. AS the patch covered more
than two inches on each side o. the
nose, the operation was necessarily a
long and tedious one, and 1t was more
than an hour before it was completed
and Timson was brought to.
A light blister was applied then, and
the patient put to bed. The experiment
was great success. No complications
set in, and beyond an annoying irrita-
ton caused by the blister Timson suf-
fered no inconvenience. He was around
again in two or three days, and already
soft white down has taken the place
of the ugly blotch. The operation, in
GLIDING the fee and the doctors ex-
penses, amounted TO $9O.-N. Y. Sun.
