A writer in Ainslee's Magazine points
out that the worlds output Of gold in
1898 was sZs7, 428, 600, and that in the
United States it vas So, 463, 900. The
value Of the cotton crop in the United
States-that is, the raw cotton-in 1897
was s319,491, 412. The cotton crop in
the United States is, therefore, IL per
cent greater than the gold output Of
the world, and five times as great as
the gold output Of the United States.
Statistics Of the above character be-
tray an inevitable deficiency Of money
consequent upon the gold standard.
Not enough annual output of gold in
the whole world to pay for the annual
cotton crop Of the United Statesl The
entire gold output Of the United States
five times less than sufficient to meet
the annual cotton bill Add all the
American products and we are forced
into using wild cat money as a make
shift for good money.

rFrom the Irfsh World

Rev. James O'Haire, Catholic mis-
ssionary in South Africa for several
years, writing from Cognae, Charente,
France, March 3, 1900, to Patrick Ford,
Of New York City, says:
Dear Sir-Twenty-six years ago 1
heard an American sing in splendid
style in the Catholic Hall, Cape Town.
a charming ballad, Speak of a Man as
You Find Him" The words were
charming, and the moral most crate
full am now reminded Of the song.
May I aspeak of the Beers as found
them?" During several years Of my
missionary life in South Africa I came
in almost daily contact with the Beers,
and in travelling through vast districts
where the Catholics were thinly scat
tered I had to ask for the hospitality
Of the Beers, andI can declare:
THAT hospitality was never de
MED me.
2.-That no charge was ever made.
3.-That not only was I kindly en-
tertained and also my servant and my
horses, but whenever I required it, a
room was given me in the BOer house
to celebrate mass for my fragments of
a widely scattered flock.
4-That I never saw meal begun in
a BOer house until grace was piously
said by the whole family.
5.-That after supper in every BOer
house, a portion Of the sacred Script
ure is read and night prayers said, aud
this not merely on Sundays, but every
night, and no matter what guests or
strangers are present. But before the
devotions, the host asks the guest if he
would wish to be conducted to his
room.

asked by the Boer if I would read the

KIND OF PEOPLE THEY IRE.
Beers are not Brutal but are Kind
Hearted People.
Their Pity for the British sIaIn-DePrieaue
the War, Are HOspItable, Charitable
and ReIiEous.-Testlmony OF Chap
lain Collins and Father O'Hairo.
Iron CHICAGO Inter-Ocsan-l


The Beers have been described BY
the British as ignorant peasants, goad-
ed by INSCRIPTIONS politicians into
fighting for they know not what. The
falseness Of this description has been
exposed often enough but never before
so clearly as by Chaplain Collins, of
the British army in South Africa,
whose report to his superior officer
was published in this newspaper lately.
After the British had been driven
from Spion Kop there was a virtual
truce for three days to collect the
wounded and bury the dead. Among
those engaged in this duty was Chap
lain Collins. In his report to General
Wsrren he draws particular attention
to the attitude and conduct of the hun
dreds Of Boer soldiers with whom he
conversed during those three days.
He notes that there was Ga total alb
sence Of anything like exultatiOn over
what they must consider a military
success, not a word, not a look, not a
gesture or a sign, that could by the
most sensitive be construed as a dis
play Of their superiority; there was a
sadness, almost an anguish in the way
they referred to our fallen soldiers"
The Beers spoke of the British sol
diers as extraordinary brave" When
the burial services were read all rever-
entity barred their heads and all who
could speak English joined IN repeat
ing the Lords prayer. Sorrow was Wis
ibIe upon every face. Chaplain Collins
sets down the following comments
made by the Beers as they looked on
the piles Of British dead:
"My GOdI what a sightl 1 wish the
politicians could see their handiwOrkI''
"Whst can God in Heaven think of
such a sight What a cursed war that
brings these poor fellows to such an
endF1
at is not our war. 1t is a war Of the
millionaires. What emnity have We
with these poor feIlows?"
ave hate this war. This war is &C
cursed. Every day on our knees we all
pray God to bring this war to an end"
would that Chamberlain, Rhodes
and the miIlionaires could see these
trenches and gravesI When will this
unjust war end?"
ave all hate war. We are men Of
