The pulp OF the cacao pod is used as
fodder for animals.
AS an article OF food cacao is very nu-
tritious, healthful and nourishing.
Cacaoi is the principal element in choc-
olate and various kinds Of confectionery.
Cacao was originally cultivated in
Mexico by the Aztecs long prior to the
Spanish conquest.
The butter" of cacaoi is well known in
medicine, and is used in the cure OF skin
diseases Of all kinds with good results.
Cacao in Mexico was called ~"cacari,"
and the product was called chocolate"
from which the word chocolate is de-
rived.
Cacao requires a very war; and
humid climate-T7 TO sc degrees Fahren-

''The South African war;" declares
Tolstoi, sis a sign of our times. but
a very sorrowful one. 1t tells US that
a sordid, soulless commercialism rules

commerciaIism has assumed a danger
Gus and lamentable potency in that
important portion of the world occu-
pied by the United States. 1t is assert
ing its rule through the instrument
talities of the republican party, which
is merely the political agent of the
vast combinations of wealth which use
it to set laws restraining their cupidity
at defiance.
1t is this same sordid, soulless COM
mercialism controlling our government
and cooperating with the same baneful
influences in England that makes it
refuse to give official utterance to the
popular sympathy of millions of cfti-
zens of this great republic for the brave
men who are enduring all the horrors
of war in defense of home and native
land in South Africa.
This is the first instance in the his
tory of the United States when its gov
ernment has looked on with cold
blooded indifference and silence upon
the struggles of weak people battling
against a strong foe for the God-given
right of freedom without raising its
voice in protest. But this is the first
time that ever the country was under

MISLEADING.
4 False Note in the Argument in Be
half Of the @Existing' Gold
Standard.

The money kings who contributed
so lavishly to secure the election of
Mckinley have foreclosed their mort
gage upon his administration and pro-
pose to force legislation to establish
a gold standard. To make it appear
that their movement is not revolution
ary they roll under their tongues,
with great JUNCTION, the term 'exist-
ing" gold standard, thus seeking to
create an impression that the pro-
posed measure is an innocent one, pro-
posing no violence to existing values
of business conditions. If, says the
National Watchman, the gold stand
ard existed at this time, in the sense
that the money kings want it to exist,
and intend to have it exist as the re-
suit of the measure they are now
forcing. they would possess their souls
III peace, but the fact is that gold
standard, in the sense in WHICH they
intend to have it, does not exist in
this country or in any other, except
England alone, where gold is the sole
legal tender for all sums above 40
shillings. In the United States there
are 63,000,0G0 standard silver dollars
that possess the power to.liquidate all
debts. public and private, except
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract. In addition to this there
