ton to the fact that while last year the
planter received but AID cents a
pound for bis cotton, that very cotton
was returned to this country from
European factories in fabrics worth

this fl would appear that there Is ssill
a very large field for Improvement in

be necessary to export the raw materi-

pERILS OF THE RAILROAD MAN

The number OF railroad employees
manned for life is deplorably large.
Even in and about Ell Psso, where but
comparatively few railroads centre I,
there are In our courts almost contln-
uously suits against the railroad COM
panies by former employees who have
been MANNED for life. Brakemen, es-
pecially those engaged in switching
and OF freight trains, lead precarious
existence, and so frequent are the aooi-
dents that an emergency hospital Is
maintained in many cities for the
treatment of what are known as rail
road cases."
These accidents are due in part to
the lack of safety appliances on the
cars. and partly to the
oarelessness of the employees them
selves. A man who spends his days
around the railroad, stepping between
cars score of times In ten or twelve
hours to couple or uncouple them, gets
hardened to the danger. Then. in
moment OF forgetfulness he Is crushed
between heavy buffers Or slips under
q wheel. Every railroad town has its
large mum Der OF cripples, young men,
usually, who have sacrificed an arm
or leg to the exigenc ies OF the rail-
way business.
Some unfortunate railroaders are
crushed between care, others are run
over Some lose portions OF their hands
or feet, and sacrifice q foot or
hand. There are fractured skulls, in
ternal injuries, scalding by steam,
death by contact with bridges, broken
legs and crushed thighs. One freight
brakeman, On an eastern road, was
recently caught In q bell rope, such as
was formerly used on freight trains.
and suffered most peculiar mishap.
The frightened cord broke bone in his
neck and almost strangled him to
death.
1t is no wonder If insurance compa-
MES regard freight brakemen as ex-
cessive "risks.'' AS a rule young men
who take positions Of this kind are
hardy and venturesome. They are OF
the class who volunteer for active SER
vice when the government calls for
soldiers or when there is a
dangerous coniagratiou. They like |
the spice of danger there is in a |
brskeman's. work. But their venture |
some spirit is too often accompanied |
by recklessuess of the risk they run.
They swing off and on moving cars
with equal celebrity and foolhardiness.
The business calls for risk enough, no
matter how careful they are, and 1t
Is an occupation that proves most
costly If they forget Themselves an
instant.
They ought to be protected by law
to the extent OF our ability. The
best-known appliances to secure their
safety should be made compulsory
and they should not be required to
work more than a reasonable mum Der
OF hours OF the twenty-four. Even
80, the law cannot provide against
the "human element" in accidents,
and wing to their own or other peo-
ple's carelessness they will doubtless
meet with misadventures to the end
of the chapter.

Protected Trusts.

1t is certain that the prevalence OF
trusts in the United States is due in
large measure to an undue tariff protec-
ton given certain American manufac-
turers. There is reason to believe that
one of the most effective blows which
could be leveled against trust COM
bination would be to permit the en-
trance into the United States, on equal
terms with the trust product, of the
similar product of foreign manufactur-
ers. This would tend to restore the
competition which the formation of the
trust has ended and to break the mo-
nopoly the trust has created. This
fact alone raises trusts TO the dlmen-
sions of a national issue. So it will re-
mann unless the present congress takes
drastic action to end the abuse. There
are ways a-plenty for those who seek
them and willing hands can find their
tools.-St. Louis Republic.

TYING UP BRITISH COIN.
Bank Of England Declares That Bi-
EnctRlIisTa Alone Will Solve In
dia's Currency Question.

The Indian currency commission has
recommended, among other things,
the gradual establishment of the gold
standard in India. This recommends
ton is now being put into effect, but
it is yet too early to gauge the exact
result that the step will haze upon
the money market in general.
Different opinions are given by diff
ferent authorities, as evidenced by the
following expression of Henry Rivers
dale Grenfell, director of the Bank OF
England, who said: '"There is no i'm
mediate cause for alarm, but sooner
or later the question is bound to be.
come acute. The Indian government
has power to lock up in England suf-
ficient gold to meet its liabilities on
this side. The liabilities are by no
means small. Already about 6 70O,-
coo Of the reserve of the Bank of Eng
land has been earmarked, and that is
a mere flea bite to the amount that
will be required for all practical pur-
poses.
''This locking up of gold is equiva-
ISlIO III 4lo C1LNSU W q Sill " OAN
to America or other foreign ports.
The Bank Of England's reserve is re-
duced to the extent of the locking up
of the amount earmarked-that is to
say, it can't be used for any other pur-
pose than security of the currency. OBJ
viously this will have tendency to
harden the money market in general
and keep up discount rates.
''As the scheme proceeds the serious
ness of the situation becomes more ev-
ident, and if the government doesn't
limit in some way the amount the In
dian government can lock up, the ef-
feet is bound to be detriment.
In my opinion, the most injudi-
cious course was adopted when the
currency commission recommended
this step. Bimetallism is, to my mind
the cnly permanent solution of the
currency question in India. Had the
efforts OF tie Wolcott mission been al
lowed to bear fruit better way would
have been found out of the difficulty
Bimetailism was directed to India
more than to any other place, but il
was rejected to India's detriment."

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

The opposition in the senate to
the election of senators by popular vote
will be led by Mark Hanna, and thus
that remarkable man will be wrong
ON another great question.-St Louis
Republic.
With regard to the vice presi-
dency, Mark Hanna is reported to have
advised Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff to wait
But Timothy suspects Mark of having
such large waiting list. - Albany
Argus.
AS an evidence of genuine good
faith Mr.. Mckinley should express the
wish that Senator Hanna shall keep his
hand out of the next convention. This
would set the public mind completely
at rest regarding the thorough polit-
ical regeneration of the president, and
might convince even his enemies that
his feet had been taken from the mire
and the clay and placed upon the rock
of ages.-Karsas City Star.
The republican national conven-
lion will not select the candidate for
yice president at Philadelphia in June,
as he has been already chosen by Chair
man Hanna at Washington, half year
in advance of the meeting of the con-
vention, which will be required not to
make choice Of its own, but 10 ratify
that of Mr. Hanna. Chairman Hanna
still dictates TO the republican party
both its nominations and policies Ii
is only just to him that his supreme
authority should be thus frankly ac-
knowledged.-Phil Ledger.

Dialect in ENGLAND.

"Lonnon,'' or rather ''Lunnun,' was
the usual pronunciation in Oxford
shire and Buckinghamshire when 1
was boy there, so years ago. 1t was
only in reading from book or paper
that the I'd" obtained recognition.
Among elderly people many other
words. when they came to be read,
had different pronunciation from
that which prevailed in ordinary con-
versation. For example, in reading,
have" became 'hayve," ''are" was
"air,'' said was turned into ':sayd,"
and ''ed" of participle was sounded
as a separate syllable. Colloquially
man might say, I'VE have err'd and
stray'd = = like lost ship" but
at church he would swell out the
phrase to 1--WE hayve erred and
strayed like lost sheep"
So, also, the common remark, 81 sed,
How ar you?" became, in reading
aloud, II say'd, How air your" No
doubt these peculiarities have been
noted before; if so, l have not been
fortunate enough to meet with the

LEGAL TENDER MONEY.
Why Creditor Classes Object to a
Plan That VIII Permit of an
Expanding Currency

The principal of all debts, public and
private, and the interest on all private
debts, could be paid in either gold or
silver coin OF government paper. The
debtor, whether the nation or individ-
uaIs, by law and under the contract,
had a right to pay with either one at
the debtors option. This is what the
great creditor Classes did not want done.
This was what they were trying to pre-
vent when the words of Gov. Morton
were spoken. The debts were contract
ed with these three standards of pay
ment, and with a certain volume of
them. 1t was a crime to change either
the standard or the volume. This the
New York associated banks, the Wall
street gamblers and their foreign abet-
tors, knew as well as President Lin
coin.
The first movement after the war in
the scheme of legal robbery was
clamor for the retirement of all paper
currency issued by the government.
This meant contraction of the debt
paying money and an increase of the
value of the legal tender unit OF dollar.
In two years prior to 1860, Secretary
McCulloch destroyed nearly $600,OO0,-
OC0 Of debt-paying money.
Before the passage Of the resumption
act the circulating medium had been
contracted over $1,000, 100000.
The result was a tremendous decrease
in the debt-paying ability of the nation
and the people. Everybody knows
about the disaster that followed.
committee was appointed by con-
gress, three from each house, to ascer
tain what had brought it about This
committee reported March, 1877, that:
THE true cause of the stagnation in
industry and commerce, now every
where, is the effect of everywhere ex-
listing falling prices, caused by shrink
ing in the volume of money"
Even Esfore the report of this COM
mittee, the London Bankers Magazine,
in October, 1878, called attention to
the fact that:
while the deficiency of gold in Amer
lea is a circumstance accompanied by
many adverse effects, the contracted
state of legal tender gives rise to Pc
suits immeasurably more serious. The
growing dearth of the currency was
the main cause of the disaster"
The prices of the peoples products
went down everywhere. Their debt
paying ability grew less, but the evil of
debts and the burden of taxation in
creased. Bonds, public and corporate,
at discount, rose to par. This was
hailed by the hypocritical schemers as
a national blessing and as evidence OF
ability at the treasury department.
Our resources and productive powers
were such that we hardly observed the
large per cent. Of our products every
year being taken from us and turned
to the creditor classes without consid-
eration.-A. j. Van Vorhis.

IRREGULAR EATING.
Moody and Headachy Women Are

lecturing a patient who has been mex
cusably guilty in this matter. Love af-
fairs that go wrong are also responsible
for no little trouble, though these
would have serious effects in but few
cases comparatively if the women were
properly fed, but among the illusions in
which girls and women indulge is that,
as they care very little about their
food, so the lack of it cannot have much
effect upon them. They rather despise
men for being careful to have regular
meals, whether business presses Or not,
and are inclined to vaunt their own SUI
periority in such respects. But if this
disregard of the natural instincts of
hunger leads us in the same path as
drink and hurry and worry lead men.

sensitiveness in love affairs, how pre-
