According to life insurance reports,
the negro belongs to n rapidly disap-
pearing race. 1t is said that the NOR
tality among them is by far greater
than among the white race, so much SO
that quite a number of the life insur-
ance companies will not accept the ne
gro for insurance. The reason that is
assigned for this increasing death rate
of the colored people is that, as n rule,
the negro is extremely careless in his
manner of living and his habitation.
and does not bestow upon himself the
same care hat the white man does in
these respects. The matter Is now at
tracing the attention of life insurance
managers. and quite a number Of them
feel disposed to refuse all applications
for insurance from the colored race

A BimetaIIic Republic Ii Preferable
to n Gold Standard
Empire.

The democratic platform declares the
question of imperialism to be the para
mount issue. If any opponent Of inn
perialism refuses to support the demo-
cratic ticket because of the silver
plank il must be because he considers
the money question more important
than the Philippine question:; hat is
he prefers n gold standard empire To a
bimetallic republic. When the test
! believe that those who adhere
to the doctrine that governments de-
rive their just powers not from superior
force but from the consent Of the gov
erned. will support our ticket even
though they do not indorse the silver
plank. A large majority of the demo-
Gratis believe that "a restoration or
bimetallism would prove a blessing. but
the anti-imperialist who disputes this
will admit hat any evils that might
arise from bimetallism could be cor
rected more easily than the evils which
would follow from this deliberate in
dorsement of milits.ism and imperial-
ism.-W. j. Bryan.

FRANCE AND

Than Its Rival Under Very Tn
favorable circumstances.

II has seemed 10 many a very ex-
,raordinary fact that France. crushed

lion dollars at the period Of her

much more prosperous than the con
ouering nation, the recipient of the
indemnity, extended in territory, and
consolidated into an empire which in
military power exceeds any other ma
ton in the world. The explanation 10
not difficult.
France is a fertile country and va
ried in its productions, and her lands
are divided among 100000 of her
people. Three-quarters OF her circu-
lating medium are gold and silver, Of
which she holds "A greater amount

they are not speculative: they are inn
p~ulsive, out prudent; having full con-
tidence in France. no matter how
governed, they hoard their earnings
until they can put them into French
securities and consequently they never
suffer by making deposits in unsafe
banks and savings institutions; the
result of all which is. that France 10
rich, Notwithstanding the drain upon
her population and resources by the
destructive wars in which she has
been engaged from the commence
ment of her history.
The Germans are also industrious.
and fairly frugal, but they are less
skillful and more speculative than the
French. and their agricultural prod
ucts are less varied and valuable.
Germany is a great empire, but COM
pared with France or Great Britain
or the United States, she is poor. and
the radical change in ner currency,
which was commenced in 1871. and il
still going on (1s79), has undoubtedly
been the cause Of great embarrass-
ment to her people. Her experiment
in demonetizing silver was a bold one.

standard by her great wealth ard her
supremacy as a creditor and COM
mercial nation. Germany has no such
monetary or commercial position and
the difficulties in The way of her ac-
complishing what She has undertaken
are daily becoming more and more
manifest. She endcayors TO retain her

SPREAD OF STRIKES.
Caused by the Advance in Prices OF
Commodities without Corresponds
Ing Increase In Wages.

II is not to be wondered at that the
republicans are worried over the
spread of strikes throughout the u
try. Strikes are always awkward on
the eve of a presidential election, and
especially so when they call attention
to the fact tht the party in power
has failed to carry out it's promises TO
the w~orxingmen.
This promise was better wages az
soon as the prosperity came which the
republicans predicted would follow
the election Of Mckinley. That pros
perity, or, rather, a great business
activity, did come. although Mckin-
ley's election had nothing to do with
II, and IL was the result of the econ
omy and labor Of the people and the
great demand for American products
abroad. But. without discussing this
matter, it is only necessary TO say
that the business activity OF the coun-
try improved and prices went up. SO
far so good; but this was not suifi-
Gent for the workingmen. They were
glad to see the improvement. but it
was rather cold comfort for them un-
less they got some share in IT.. As
a matter of fact. without an advance
in wages they we're worse off than be
fore, even IL work was abundant. for
the cost of living was higher, with
no corresponding increase in their
wages. For some time past the la
boring men have been FESTIVE and call
ing for better pay. Some secured an
advance. yet, save in exceptional cases
the advance bears no relation 10 the
increased cost Of food clothing. etc,
The trusts are easily able TO resist any
demand for an increase by closing up
their factories, and the workingmen
find it far more difficult TO secure an
advance than they have ever found II
before.--N. @. Times-Democrat.

PROPHECY OF GARFIELD.

1t is almost 20 years since Presiden,
Garfield said:
II am persuaded that the next great
question to be confronted will be that OF
corporations and their relation to the in
terests of the people and TO national life.
The fear is now entertained by many OF our
best men that the national and state legis-
latures. In creating these vast corporations.
have evoked a spirit which may escape and
defy control. and which may WELD a power
greater than legislatures themselves
IL looks rs il this prophecy were COM
ing tru a small number of moneyed
men control about everything in the
commercial. industrial and t~ransporta,
ton business in the country. Prices
are advanced or lowered. not TO suit old
time laws OF supply and demand, but
according to the avarice Of those who
own the trusts. There are over $780,
600 people employed in industries con-
trolled b. trusts. The profits OF their
labor are absorbed to exploit the other
inhabitants.-Illinois State Register.

yer IL More Than Able 10
Hold Its Own with Gold.

A lecture delivered oy Hon. Hugh
McCulloch at Harvard university May
S. 1879. is worth recalling, at least in
part. Twenty years after this lecture
was delivered we can verify many OF
his prophecies and see the entire JUS
tice of all his observations. "If," he
said, 'there were no debts to be paid
in a currency more valuable than that
in use at the time they were contract-
ed, the gold standard might be so ele-
waited as to make gold equal 10 the
wants Of mankind, without prejudice
to anybody, or any interest whatever
except so far as il would lessen inter-
national trade, which. however, to the
people of the United States is a very
important consideration. But as the
world is covered all over with debts,
so great an appreciation Of the value
of gold as that which would result
from the general disuse of silver,
would be Overwhelmingly disastrous.
"As. therefore, there is not gold
enough or likely to be enough for the
purposes for which money is used,
one of two things must happen-the
bimetallic standard must either be
adopted by all nations, or some must
adopt the single standard OF gold, and
others the single standard of silver,
in which event rich nations would
have the superior metal for their
standard. and poor nations the in
ferior metal for theirs. Which, ac-
cording TO any proportionate value
heretofore established, will ultimately
be the superior, and when the %inferi-
or, depends upon circumstances that
cannot now be foreseen. 1t has been
shown that for a long period silver
not only held it's W with gold. but
that il has been more frequently
above than below the gold standard"
The writer Their goes on TO give the
ton Of silver. Among the reasons
given was the decentralization Of silver
by the great German empire. We can
Judge how much more this reason
applies to the present time when we
note that since that time. only 81
: years ago, most OF tie other so-ca.lcd
powers have followed suit. Eat the
author goes on TO say:
AMI Of these causes have been at
work in producing the existing deg
radiation of silver. and perhaps the
surprise ought not 10 be that silver
has been degraded. but that the deg
radiation has not been greater"
