IRE put her on her mettle, for, while the

she prepared for her supreme effort In
the engine-room, the chief engineer,
surrounded by his dials, which keep
him in touch with all parts of the ma

THE FASTEST BOAT IN THE
WORLD


'Thlrty-seven knots" said the note
handed down to the engine-room where
you could not hear yourself speak in the
turmoil of flying machinery. The grave
chief engineer permitted himself the
luxury of an unofficial smile, and her
majesty's ship Viper tore along, mad
thing, belching heavy volumes of smoke
from her flaming tunnels as she traced
on the dappled blue of the calm summer
sea broad river of foam. She was
doing something never before accom-
plished in the history of the world, and
demonstrating a fact bound to have
great influence in the future both in
war and peace. She had outstripped
the performance of her nearest compe-
titor the Albatross. not by few fur
longs, but by leap of seven miles in
the hour.
At eleven O'CLOCK she glded off, max
ing for Tynemouth at steady pace Of
sixteen knots. The motion was de-

vibration Turning northwards. from
the mouth of the river the speedVquick

She was to be under full steam for an

men went to their stations; and they

be disregarded. Those who believe i'm
pIicitly in the fundamental and perma-
next truth of the 16 to 1 doctrine should
have shown some breadth of view, some
capachy for patience and foresight and
some talent In the direction of the lar

ponement of the silver question in this
spirit, at Mr. Bryan's direct proposal,
would have shaken nobody's faith In
the sincerity and firmness of his views

manship calls for the ability to meet
large situations as they arise. The
war created exceptional conditions,
which had the right of way. And if a
campaign Is to be fought on war issues
it cannot be fought on the tariff ques-

question or the income tax question, or
the negro question,
The defect in this reasoning is that 1t

BIG.

The foreign trade of the United States
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1900,
was the biggest in the country's his
tory. The total value of exports Of
merchandise was 1894 479, 214, as COM
pared with s1,227 ,O23,3 1902 in 1899 and ST.
231, 4S2,33 In 1893; while the merchan-
disc imports aggregated $S49, 714,329, as
against $685., 14S,4 S9 in 1899 and S616, O49,
654 in 1898. The excess of exports over
imports, or balance of trade, as it is
called, was $544764,S 1856 for the year Just
ended, in comparison with an excess of
$529,S74,813 for the previous year and
$615, 2,676 in 1898. The net exports of
silver show, however, a decrease of $4,-
1865 while as regards the gold move
ment there was a reversal of the for
eign movement. In the fiscal year 1892
the imports of gold exceeded the ex-
ports by no less a sum than s51 432, SIT,
while In 1900 the exports of the yellow
metal showed slight excess of s5,436,-
772.
These are big figures, this is big
country, and perhaps It's biggest dan
ger is that it will feel too big.

Klondike is coming into the United

of $4,000, 900 a week. Seattle people see
it piled up in front of the assay office
like boxes of bacon before a grocery

$2,0oO,000 is no longer sufficient to at
tract street crowd. If the output
from Alaska keeps up, the parity be-
tween gold and silver may reach the
ratio of 16 to |, but If it does 1t will be
because gold goes down to meet silver,
instead of silver coming up to meet
gold"

he celebrated mass and attended an

generally at 10, the meal lasting about
seven minutes, consisting of soup, the
wing of chicken and some fruit At
ter short siesta the rest of the day
was devoted to prayer, the saying of
his office and rosary. A light supper

Nor at all, Bro. Clarke. When
VIM. J. Bryan is elected president
the country will return to the
true principles enunciated by
the Declaration of Independence,
to true Jacksonian democracy
to true Lincoln republicanism if
you please-and the consent of
the governed will be procured,
not by coercion or the force of
arms, but by an extending of the
true principles of a government
"by the people, of the people, and
for the people," and every loyal
American will say amen to it,
even the editor of the Register
will admit that we will then be
back to the safe foundation of
our fOrefathers, and will be a
stronger nation, better respected
and freer from that domination
of the classes which has been,
and now is, striving SO hard to
force US into Imperialism and a
military government.
The farmers of England have
denounced the gold standard as
inimical to their interests, but
the petted, palnpered aristocracy
of England find the gold stan
dard just the cheese. In the Unit
ed States the same classes take
the samepositions, atleast all the
English aristOcrat-apers favor it,
and most of the farmers oppose
it. When the American farmers
have all attained to sufficient
independence OF party prejudice
to cut loose from the old Eng
lish style of bowling obedience
to masters, then we will do away
with the Shylock curse and not
only advance the interests of
American farmers, but give
encouragement to the men who
are the mainstay of old England.
