AN ADAPTABLE SYSTEM OF
THINKING.

at isa poor rule that won't worl
both ways" and IT seems that most o
our highly intellectual gold standard
friends have this in mind when they
formulate their rules fordetermining the
condition OF the country.
The same phenomena are taken to in
dicate either hard times or prosperity
either the glories of "the existing gold
standard" or the urgent necessity OF
adopting the gold standard; either con-
fdence or lack Of confidence; either the
necessity for "stable" currency or the
necessity for an "elastic" currency.
The bursting ofbanks sometimes means
a panic, and sometimes excessive pros
perity. When the banks bursted in 1893,
that was panic. When a general
bursting of banks is only averted by the
almost super-human exertiOns Of the
strongest financial institutions OF New
York, assisted by secretary VINO placed
the resources OF the United States treas
ury at their disposal, that indicates ex-
cessive business prosperity.
When gild-edged securities go up,
under gold standard policies it is a sure
and obvious sign OF confidence and
prosperity; when they go down, it is an
unmistakeable sign OF such degree OF
confidence and prosperity that business
activities call for money decreasing the
demand for interest bearing securities.
Under some other conditions, the rise
in securities indicates business stagna'
tion and demand for gilt-edged inter
est-bearing obligations; while fall
shows the destruction Of confidence"
and the fear OF silver legislation.
Sometimes plethora Of deposits in
the banks indicates hard times and
sluggishness In the business world;
sometimes extraordinary activity.
A few years ago stringency in the
money market proved panic and fear;
now II shows extraordinary demand for
money on account OF overilowing pros
perity and confidence.
Not long ago the beneacence Of the
gold standard was shown by the fact
that the necessaries OF life had decreased
in price while the workingman's wages
had not decreased 10 80 great degree,
which increased the purchasing power
Of wages.
Now that the trusts have arbi-
trarity raised the price of the neces-
saries Of life from 20 TO 100 per cent,
the difference going into their Golfers,
while in few scattering instances
wages have been advanced 10 per cent
cutting down the purchasing power of
even those laborers whose wages have
been raised the most, we are asked to
stand forth and witness the beneficence
Of our financial policy.
These are only few illustrations of
the astonishing adaptability of the
financial and economic principles 10
which political manipulators pin their
faith-and ask the American people TO
pin theirs. We must at least recognize
the peculiar charms of a theory which
enables lbs deciples TO think they see its
truth exemplifed in every phenomenon
oi animate or inanimate nature.

NATURE KIND IN CALIFORNIA
Country Where the Farmer Is No; Subjected to the Risors of se-

The New England farmer must for tify himself in his stronghold against the seasons. He must be ready to adapt himself to a year that permits him to prosper only upon decidedly hard terms But the Californian in the country has. during the drought. more leisure, unless. indeed. his amb- tion for wealth too much congresses him. says the International Monthly. His horses are plenty and cheap. His fruit crops thrive easily. He is able to supply his table with fewer pur- chases with less commercial inde- pendence. His position is, therefore less that of the knight in his castle and more that of the free dweller il. the summer cottage, who is. indeed not at leisure. but can easily deter mine how he shall be busy. It is of little importance to him who his next neighbor is. At pleasure he can ride or drive to find his friends; can choose, like the southern planter ot former days, his own range of hos pitaiity: can devote himself. if a man of cultivation, to reading during g good many hours at his own choice or, if a man Of sport. can find during great part of the year easy oppor tunities for hunting or for camping both by himself and for the young people of his family
