"THINGS ARE
COMING OUR VAY."

In 1894 we published what purported
to be the secret plan of the money power.
The article read:
Out Of all this financial disorder
better aud sounder condition of affairs will
tie developed by the enperalism of capi-
tallsm, but the process of reaching that
basis will inevitably be slow, tedious and
costly. A gold basis for money circuln-
tion must first be accomplished.
Eve must proceed with caution and
guard well every move made. for the
lower orders of the people are already
showing signs of restless commotion"
In February last the gold standard
was reached and now tn. most gigantic
trust in the world is said to be in process
OF formation.
1t is the gold trust.
a half dozen men can practically con-
troll all the gold IN the world, as ii 900,
100000 invested in gold by the trust can

A Season when the Grass Is $50 Green ana
the Rocky Park Is Best.

Morningside Park. parts 1ontal. partly

yearly grows in beauty and variety. Now in
early autumn, while the grass is yet green and
the foliage "a only beginning to hint OF the COM
ing color display, the narrow rocky little park
with its scalt $50 acres. shines and sparkles like
a necklace Of Jewels. Here II stretches a mere
rivulet ~ green. beneath its ivied heights. there
it broadens into delicious lakes OF lawn, islanded
with dark dwellings Of the natural rock. Now
the ascent is a slope of mingled lawn and shrub
berry. now it becomes a steep with tall Lombardy
poplars. the veritable embodiment Of aristo-
cratic reserve, %cliuging TO every rocky point
Of vantage and showing slender cones Of dark
green against the gray OF the rock wall or the
paler green Of It's drapery.
A year by year the trees rise higher, the
shrubbery thickens and the vines stray further.
the landscape design Of the park more distinctly
reveals itself. The tropical-lookinG ailanthus
used with great effect, has developed hero
and the-e into dense groups that. tant-like. hide
the bare ROCKY slopes. Nobody can see tho
success with which tho ailanthus has been
employed without wondering now snm9chs
