IMPERIALISM AND MONEY.

is involved in our industrial condi-
tions, as well as in the more vital
Philippine-Porto Rico policy.
Take our currency system. The
monarchies of Europe are gold mono
metallic countries, and have a small
volume of money, less than $40 per
capita of the population. Five of
them have less than $40, while Rus
sia has less than seven dollars. Such
monetary conditions enable the few
to monopolize and corner the money,
and will make industrial slaves and
serfs of any people, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, of those of the tropics.
The bank law of March IA, 1900, is
more destructive of the now admitted
quantitative theory of money and
5embod1es the ,monarchical theory that
all political power is not in the peo-
pie more clearly than any currency
law ever placed upon our statute
books. It takes away the constitution
al right of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, thus lessening the
volume of redemption money. It
gradually retires the legal tender
greenback and treasury note money
of the people. 1t greatly enlarges the
volume of nonlegal tender circulating
notes-bank substitutes for money
based upon the public debt, which
must be retained and increased to
keep up the system A permanent
debt is also a mOnarchical policy re-
pugnant to the theory of our repub-
lie.
By giving up the right to the free
coinage of silver and of making and
issuing greenbacks and treasury
notes, the people have placed in the
hands of few, that supreme power
over those most vital matters, which
is lodged in theselves or through their
representatives under our theory of
government. They have allowed their
representatives to delegate these pow
ers, and have established the mon
archical theory in fact over our mon
etary system. = s..a
p The theory of our banking system
is Of monarchical invention, intended
to limit the supply of money by es-
tablishing a vast system of credit as
well as of debt.
The present strain upon bank cred
it's is sufficient to prevent any general
business development in the future,
without great danger of panic. The
comptroller of the currency in his re-
port of last June, estimates bank
deposits to be eight billion dollars.
The cash reserves held by the banks
to meet these deposits average only
about ten per cent. of this large sum,
or one dollar of cash as against nine
dollars of bank credits.
How long can loans be made and
healthy business condi ditions prevail
with such a margin between cash re-
serves and bank credits? Not long.
It was about one of cash to seven
Of credit in 1898, when the banks,
acting in unison, found it to their
interest to break the strain and con-
tract credits, by calling in loans and
refusing accommod ations, causing the
panic of that year, which ruined so
many depositors and caused universal
bankruptcy. E

There are a NUMBER OF the trusts

Increase OF Valuation.

q : 49,
An Increase Of one-third in the va1u-
atlons of logs and lumber has been re-.
commended by the logs and lumber
committee of the state board Of equali-s
zatlon. This will give Minneapolis
an additional assessment of about
S5O0,O00 and Duluth about $175, 600.
The lumbermen of the city and the
state are quite indignant over the
raise. Those of Minneapolis point to
the fact that the lumbermen pay one
sixth OF the city's personal property
tax as an evidence that the industry
is not on equality with orders. A re-
sduction should be made they claim.

Russell Sage's Abete emiousness,

That small piece OF pie and the
banana which have constituted Uncle
Russell Sage's midday meal for un-
numbered years have made him the
butt of many a joke and jest, but they
also have enabled him to remain in
the ring at the age of SO. with as clear
a head and as sound body as any of
the young men of the street can boast.
He is a very wonderful old man, and
shall not be surprised to see him turn
a century. There is no organic COM
plant. no chronic disturbances to take
him of. Bombs cannct kill him.
Only some heavy financial loss is to
be feared, and he is not in serious
danger Of that. Many of our more
noted men in finance. commerce, lit
erature and Jurisprudence content their
stomachs with smack at noon and
maintain q clear brain till dinner time.

This new shade is in one instance of
frequent reversion to old time things.
as it is in the old fashioned lantern
shape. The requisite wire frame is
sometimes difficult to meet with. as the
shape is not common yet, but it can
readily be made at home from medium
weight bonnet wire by the aid Of a
pair Of pliers, some wire nippers or a
pair of strong old scissors. A band or
support of the same wire or a mica
collar is arranged on the inside for gen.
eral protection and TO keep the shade
from touching the hot chimney.
After the frame is made the wires
are first wound round with narrow
ribbon or silk. Then yellow or rose col
ored gauze Is stretched over each divi-
sion and sewed evenly to the covering
of the wires. Floral sprays of black
or white lace are then placed irregu-
larly In the different divisions of the
shade. These are first caught to keep
them in position. then all the edges
tackled down to the silk or gauze with
very fine but good cotton or silk
When this is done, the covered wires
are again concealed by a ruching of
silk. feather trimming or chiffon.
Fringe or a ruffie of lace is placed
round the lower edge. and finally as
many spangles as time. taste. patience
and purse will permit are added on the
lace applique, fringe or lace ruf1e.
These give particularly rich effect
when lit up. if chosen of oriental and
iridescent colors
There are two important points to be
remembered in making Ian shades.

The most original character we meet
In the memoirs of the Princess Mary"
is her father, Duke Adolphus Of Cam
bridge. He was a strong churchman,
but "his religion sometimes took rather
an unconventional FORM" On one oc-
casion. after the officiating clergyman
had repeated the usual exhortation,
LET US pray" the duke was heard to
reply. "By all means"
During a very dry summer the vicar
read the prayer for rain. At the close
the duke Joined fervently in the
"Amen," adding, In exactly the same
tone of voice, "But we shan't get it till
the wind changesr'
One Sunday, when the words, "Be
hold, the half of my goods give to
the poor" were read, he astonished his
fellow worshipers by rejoining; mo,
no. can't do that. A half is too much
for any man, but l have no objection
to a tenth"
Again, on hearing the text. ''For we
brought nothing into the world. neither
may we carry anything out" he ejacu-
lated. "True, true-too many calls upon
us for that"

Servants In Perm.

Servants usually go in droves in Pc
ru, and when you hire a butler or ma
jor domo or master of the household
he becomes a sort of general manager
of the entire establishment. He hires
and dismisses the cook, the chamber
maids and other servants and is re-
sponsible for their good behavior.
Many families board with their major
domo and arrange with him to main
tain the household, provide the food,
fuel and the servants and everything
else except the fixed charges for rent,
water rates, gas bills, wine and similar
outside luxuries at given rate per
month.
This is not only a measure of con-
venience, but of economy, and people
are thus protected against dishonesty
and extravaganza in their kitchens and
pantries. 4 cook usually feels at lib
erty to bring her husband and all her
children to the house where she is en-
ployed and lodges and feeds them at
the expense of her employer. The
husband may work elsewhere, but he
sleeps and takes his meals wherever
his wife lives.

And clover in its shadow spread,
Or see a rivers stately flight,
Its ripples dancing in the light,
Though keen my sorrow. deep my woe,
Yet happiness my heart must know.
Or if TO sightless eyes ray

If | might smell violet,

And in my fancy see once more
The woodland aisles, with boughs stretched

Or if my hand might hold q rose
The garden gates would swift unclose,
And rank on rank there'd bloom for me
Far fairer flowers than now ] see.

Their mournful yigrant symphony;
And when in organ tones arise
