the silver question, holding that the
maintenance of the gold standard with
silver circulating rs currency at a
parity with gold is the only bimetal-

existing between the values Of the two

THE DESERTED VILLAGE.
Seven Remain to Inhabit Vast Prop
erty of the Harmonists.

Writing OF communistic experiments
in Ainslee's, Arthur Henry draws this
dramatic picture of the decline of the
Harmonists: AT the present time,
thirty-three years later than that at
which Aaron Williams wrote, there are
but seven members of the Society of
Harmonists. Four aged women and
one man, all over seventy, and John
Duss and wife, who are about forty
are all that remain of this once pros
porous hive of people. Most of the fac
tories have disappeared The great
barns that once sheltered hundreds of
cattle are empty. The fiocks and herds
are gone The broad fields are I'M
tended. The town, while still preserv-
ing its ancient semblance, is inhabited
by another people. The houses, hotel
and stores are all rented. Many of
those now occupying the quaint. vine
covered dwellings, work in Pittsburg
Some are the hired hands, employed
to do the little labor still required by

living at Economy know anything even
of the history of the former inhabi-
tants. Not one in twenty can point
out to you where the surviving Har-
monists reside. These aged remnants
of the society are seldom seen Now
and then two of the more active wo-
men appear hand in hand and walk
| slowly silently through the street to
the store or wine cellar, to the meeting
house or garden. Joint possessors Of
a vast estate they dress in plain, old
! fashioned gowns of calico, or bingham,
grow what vegetables they still have
strength to care for, and busy them
selves from dawn to dark about their
households. 1t has been many years
since any of these aged ones have
needed to work at all Whatever they
desired would have been theirs for the
asking. But the greatest distress that
can befall them is to fail for a day in
the little strength still left them, to do
the work of their house and garden.
while celibacy was thus operating
at Harmony, other causes were work
ing the gradual whitening of the COM
mnnities elsewhere. In January, 1857,
an inventory showed the Wallngford
and Oneida Perfectionists to be worth
over $67 900. In the next ten years
their net profits amounted to s1S0,000
In 1874 they were worth over half a
million. Yet today still controlling
vast property, they are but few in num-
bers, and, as community, nothing"

One of the features of the session was
