IN ITS INFANCY.
Development of the CountrY's BOund-
less Resources HaKpered by
the Closed Mint.

The development of the boundless re.
sources of this mightiest of countries
is but in it's infancy. 1t awaits only
open minis for both metals, and the
wholesome and permanent enlargement
CT our stock of basic money. Like a
giant in chains this nation is bound
down by an oppressive money system
that prevents its doing anything wor-
thy of it's magnificent endowments. Be-
fore the world enjoys prosperity wor-
thy of the name, one of which it is ca
pable, and that has come to stay, being
founded on the broad and solid base
of bimetallism, it must compel govern
ments to stop legislating more value
into money, and, hence, out of property,
as they have been doing, by shutting
silver out of the minis, but instead,
force them to legislate some of the
stolen value out of money, and back
into property from which it was taken
to the ruin of the worlds toilers. The
only possible way to do this is not to
decrease the production of dollars at
the mints. This is the only way to get
stable and, hence, profitable prices,
and to keep the people at work. Gold
bugs tell US we have produced so much
it has. made US poor. We must stop
work. Overproduction of products is
the cause of all our woes. This advice
is the drivel of idiots, the logic of
despair and the doctrine of the devil.
We say to the masses, go to work and
make all the goods you can, for you
can't make too much for the worlds
comfort until everybody is fully sup
piled with everything they need. And
then we say to the government, go to
work. too, and coin all the silver ard
gold into money until normal prices
are again restored, and then, after that,
do your utmost to keep prices stable.
so that the balance shall be held level
between debtor and creditor hence
forth. Do not let the equities of the
contracts after that be interfered with
in the interest of either party.

HOW JAMIE PASSED.
He Plays Tricks ON His School Prin-
cipaI While That Parsonage
Is Calling ON HIS Sister.

Jamie has big sister-a blooming, bound
ing destroyer of hearts, and the principal of
Jamie's school used to call on her. He came
one evening, just before the close OF the last
term, and wore rubber overshoes. He. al
ways was afraid of catching cold. He left
these shoe protectors in the hall. Jamie, by
no means sure of passing from seventh into
eighth grade, was coming his geography
from necessity, not choice, and he saw those
goloshes.
So he got the tack hammer and two tacks
and nailed through the rubber soles into the
floor. When Mr.. Principal departed an hour
later Jamie was watching him. Mr.. Princi-
pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted
his feet in his understand then he braided
himself up in the most amazing fall that
ever an educated man accomplished. The
big girl picked him up and extracted him
from his stationary footwear, but she was
shaking with laughter.
Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted past
the principals desk with a look of angelic
innocence on his chubby face.
He paused a moment.
.'Who. called your" asked the petulant
principal.
".The kids called me. They, called me
'rubbersp Say, Mr.. Soandson, do pass?"
And the eyes OF the two met for one tense
moment. Then the principal surrendered.
'Yes-you passi" he snapped.
If he had said "no" he would have lodged
to the end of his days every time he heard
boy cry "rubbers!"
And Jamie was honest about it. He told
no one-not even when his big sister padded
him.-Chicapo Chronicle

BELLAMY sToRER AT MADRID.
He is Cordially Received by the
Queen Regent, But Custom Pre-
vents nm Exchange of Speeches.

Madrid, June 17.--The newly APP
pointed minister to Spain, Mr.. Bellamy
Storer, was received in formal audi
ence by the queen regent yesterday.
There were no speeches, only a few
cordial phrases were exchanged.
Two state carriages from the royal
stables conveyed Mr.. Storer from the
Hotel de Rome to the palace and took
him back to the hotel after the audi.
ence. Premier Silvela presented Mr.
Storer to her majesty.
There were no crowds about the pal
ace, Mr.. Storer's reception being unan-
nounced in order to avoid disagreed
BILE incidents. The fact that there
were no speeches is not surprising as
this is the practice when ministers are
received. Speeches are only made in
the case of ambassadors.
Nevertheless, the queen regent was
very amicable and complimentary to-
wards Mr.. Storer, and inquired cordial
ly concerning the health of President
Mckinley.

"MONEY"---AN EXPOSITION.
Coinage of silver at Sixteen to One
Would Not Drive Gold Out
of the Country.

Gold standard men say free silver at
sixteen to one viii drive out gold. Sill
yer will simply take its place; there
will be no increase of money, or prices.
Let Us see Gold will not begin to go
till prices rise considerably above the
level of the gold prices of Europe, for
the owner of gold would not buy
abroad as long as he could buy as cheap
" at home. Silver would then have to
come in much faster than gold went out
in order to create such u rise of prices
here as to induce the owner of gold to
go abroad to buy. Hence there would
have to be a considerable rise of prices
here before it would even begin to go
out. And before it all went there, there
would have to be a great rise here. In
any event, it would not all leave till
it's place was much more than filled
with silver. Hence those who say free
silver would not increase our circula
tion-much more those who say it
would contract it-talk utter nonsense.
Another thing, it would tend to drive
up prices and keep gold here, too. 70
whatever extent gold went abroad it
would add to the currency of Europe.
This would raise the price of all our
exports, which would react favorably
on oul home market for the same. As
prices rose abroad gold would be less
inclined to so there to buy cheaply.
Hence, much of it would be apt to stay
here, while all of it would ultimately
return if Europe would follow our lead
and open her minis, as it would be to
her interest, in order to hold her trade
with ve~ lands. Free silver, then,
by adding to our depleted stock of PR
mary money, would give Us prosperity
based IN rising, followed by stable
prices, instead of the sham and tickle
kind we are told we have now, which is
built on the shifting and ever-char ging
balance of trade-a balance that hap
pens to De largely in our favor just now
because of terrible foreign famines and
big home crops. A prosperity that
comes and goes with the trade balance
is too unstable to depend on, but il is
the only kind possible under the grind.
ing gold system of falling prices. and
will never satisfy any but the more ig-
norant class of republicans.

OTIS ARMY IS HEALTHY.
Some Gratuitously False Statements
Refuted by Facts and
Figures.
THE MEN ARE NOT DYlNG OFF LIKE FLIES.
On the Contrary, the Health Condi-
tiOnS are Not Only AstOnishingIy
Excellent, But Have, Probably,
Never Been Equalled in an Army
in the Tropics.

New York, June 16.-The statements
to the effect that men around Manila
are dying like flies, and that the war
department has been compelled to
suppress the regulation health re-
ports which it was formerly custO-
mary to make public, turn out to be
gratuitously false, but serve the good
purpose of bringing out the fact that
the health conditions in the American
army under Gen. Otis are not only
astonishingly excellent, but have,
probably, never been equalled in. any
army in tropical countries, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Tribune.
Compared with Cuba.
Compared with that of last sum-
mer in Cuba, the comparative immuni-
ty from death or serious illness of the
American troops fighting outside of
Manila seems little short of miracu
lous. From the landing of Gen. An
derson's first military expedition, near
Cavite, on June so, last year, up to the
last weekly report from Gen. Otis,
dated June 6, there have been only 364
deaths from disease, although his to-
tai force has been 10000. In the same
period, SO men have died from
wounds
Figures Almost Incredible.
In view of the notorious insalubrity
of Manila and its environs, these fig
ures are almost incredible. They chal
lenge contrast with the best English
experience in Egypt or India, and they
surpass even the excellent conditions
fighting, and the men are not exposed
to the elements, but have comfortable
garrisons. Men drowned or who have
died from injuries received otherwise
than in battle are counted in the to-
tai of 364. This total is interesting,
compared with that of the men killed
outside in action with the Filipinos
from February to June 6, covering
the period of active hostilities.
Result of Experience.
In those four months, with an aver
age of 1000 men engaged, the killed
were 226. This great disparity demon
strates what improvement has result
ed from the experience of the Santi-
ago campaign, when 1000 died from
disease, and only 26O were killed. In
fact, the health question in the Phil
ippines has apparently lost its novelty,
and no question having been raised
about it from this side of the ocean,
no recent cable reports from Gen.
Otis contain any allusion to it

TRULY EXASPERATING.

1T is a disagreeable habit the pas

fronted with proofs that they are in the
wrong"
Eyes, it does me, too. My wife's cousin
has been visiting us for several days, and
he's one Of those know-it-all fellows You
can't tell him anything. Yesterday morning
he was reading about this Dreyfus trial,
and / gave him a pointer on how to pro-
nounce French word that was used. But
do you suppose he was willing to admit that
knew more about it than he did?"
Il suppose not"
"No! He sat there, right at my own table,
and argued with me for 20 minutes trying
to show that ] didn't know what I was
talking, about. Such people make me
weary"
Why don't you get French dictionary
and prove to him that he was wrong?"
"Oh, | looked it up yesterday and found
that was mistaken myself, but what makes
me mad is the fact that he was so blamed
positive about il. "-Chicago es-Herald.

reason of the two vacancies which are

candidate for supreme justice, ]. Hay

actual issue il the present campaign

mated William T. Greasy, and had as
their slogan "debauchery of the treas

Republicans lecided upon a military
campaign, and named as their can
didate Lieutenant Colonel James r.
Barnett, of the "fghting" Tenth regi-
