of July IA, 1890, that are also legal

9Co,ooo,ooo of debt-paying money in
the United States independent of the
gold standard. In. Germany the sill
YER coin is legal tender for all debts;
the same is true in France.
Thus it will be seen that although
the mints are closed to the further
coinage of silver, the silver coin of the
world still possesses debt-paying pow
er and is as effective money in all
transactions as gold itself. This is
very far from a gold standard in
which gold alone would be the sole
money of payment as is designed by
the money kings of the earth, and as
is proposed by the monetary bill that
the administration is now forcing
through congress.
The present time is considered an
opportune one to force this measure
because of the existence of unusually
favorable conditions. Following 1896
came two years in which America was
blessed with bounteous crops that
We're sold at famine prices abroad,
which had the effect in addition to
liquidating the annual demand of for
eigners against us for interest, insur-
ance and transportation accounts, to
liquidate a portion of our foreign in
debtedness and cause US to import in
stead of export that metal. In addi-
tion to this the recent gold discoveries
in Alaska and the discovery of cyanide
Of potash as factor in the extraction
of gold has added greatly to our stock
of that metal. Under these extraor-
d;nary conditions, so favorable to the
United States, the money kings pro-
claimed prosperity upon the gold
standard, the "existing" gold stand
ard, when as a matter of fact they
know that the gold standard does not
''exist," and are putting forth a stren-
uous effort to force bill through con-
gress to wipe out the debt-paying
power of 9O0,OO0,OOO of legal tender
money and put the United States upon
gold standard.
Manufacturers, merchants, farmers,
laborers, consider what this means.
The slight prosperity we have as re-
suit of the extraordinary conditions
herein enumerated results from an in
crease in the money supply which has
stopped the downward trend of prices
and has given them an upward ten
tlency. The relief thus furnished is
relied upon by the money kings to
divert our attention from the impor-
tance of this subject and afford them
an opportunity to consummate their
iniquity.
The passage. of the bill proposed, by
the United States, and the adoption
OF similar measures by France and
Germany would cause a contraction Of
the currency that would more than
offset any prospective increase in gold
that may be looked for during the
next decade. In addition to this the
gold combination are diligently push
ing the work of extending the gold
standard into Asia, thus subjecting it

the United States would be ahead $780,.
100000 annual income on foreign loans.
Then were the government to open
its mints to the free coinage of silver:
with gold demonetized, without the
concurrent action of other nations at
the ratio of sixteen to one, every ounce
of silver in the commercial world would
go to par within "a hours. Silver would
not come to our mints unless the rate
of interest exceed the current rate pre-
vailing abroad.
Then instead of $50, 1000, 900 income on
foreign investments we would have so
per cent. more from rise in the price
of silver to the extent of perhaps $780,
CO0,000. This sum indicates the appar-
ent losses we are sustaining annually
from the utterly useless gold redemp-
ton feature of treasury financiering. I
said apparent losses. That is not all.
The interest charge of the 81 ,0OO, 100000
yields to investors $30,OO0,0O0 more,
which could all be saved. Besides this
foreign income of $90,0C0,000 and do
mestic saving of $30,00O,O00 annually
paid on the public debt, we could come
to the aid of Great Britain ii her finan-
cial distress and incidentally promote
our own industrial and financial we'll

Each silver dollar would be as valu-
able in interest drawing as one dollar
in gold. Then why should owners of
silver bullion sell for 100 cents to loan
what they could send to the mint and
get 200 cents, and make IL, instead of
6, per cent. by the transaction?
Would this not practically compel
the creditors themselves to bid with

steyD's Cyrano Courtship.

President Steyn Of the Orange Free
State took for a wife Miss Fraser, who
was the belle of Bloemfontein. This
was many years ago, when the great
Africander was a poor, struggling law
student and clerk Miss Fraser's par
ents were very proud and well-to-do,
and did not favor the match. Steyn
made love and wrote love letters by
proxy, choosing a prominent young
farmer as the go-between. Every day,
sometimes twice day, Miss Fraser
and the farmer would take long walks
and rides together. Bloemfontein
made up it's mind that Steyn had been
cut out, when the law student returned
from Europe, where he had taken his
degree Gossip rose to fever heat
when the news came that Steyn had
called upon the young farmer. Every
body was certain that a duel was about
to come Off A short time passed, in
which every one was on the qui vive.
Disappointment was nothing to the
feeling which was created when, in
stead of duel, there was the wedding
of Steyn and Miss Fraser, with the
farmer as the first groomsman.

They suffer enough without your

nor their grimaces when alone. A case

often without any apparent provoca-
tion, will clench his hands and make
the most frightful contortions of the

means. He is the brightest boy in his
class at school, fond of reading and of
natural history, but he is of highly
nervous temperament, and has not
been taught to control the little wires,
so to speak, on which he is strung.
This is no single case. There are thou
sands of children who give way to their
nerves in similar fashion. Talk to
them about these curious little fellows
that should be their servants, not their
masters. Never whip them. The man
or woman who whips nervous child
is on level with brltes that have no

We would suggest the following meth

object desired: Inject into the free

stream fpid water. The sides OF
the nostlif should be closed around
the point of the syringe to prevent a
yeflux of the water Use a moderate
degree of force and the stream will
make a circuit throught the posterior
nasal cavity and pass out Of the oppo-
site nostril, dislodging the foreign sub
stance. A more simple method is this:
The patient takes deep breath, /"
then closes the mouth and the free

BOAR HUNT
fs Extsrniaaes Hansrsds q the wnl
h Aain.als on n Isiana.

AoAmoSo On a 1elan0s
On the farm If Mr.. John Donnell
Smith, on Spesutia island there is a
herd Of 100 or more wild boars. They
are Wild and vicious and have their
lairs in the cover of the marshes, which
they rove at will Spesutia island Is
about six miles south of this city and
contains some 1,500 acres Of very fer
tile land, hut, in addition to this, there
are vast marshes between 1t and the
mainland. The island is divided into
three farms Of about equal portions,
the Smith farm being on the lower ex-
tremity. Several years ago some of the
hogs on the farm were neglected and
allowed to inhabit the marshes. They
bred there and now they are unap-
proachable. Notwithstanding the great
loss to their progeny by drowning in
high tides, the herd has increased. At
first little attention was paid to the
animals, but with the increase in their
numbers and fierceness Mr.. Smith has
concluded to exterminate them, partic-
ularly as their depredations upon the
crops are doing great damage. To pre-
vent nocturnal visits to the farm, Mr..
Smith has water fences constructed,
reaching considerable distance from
shore, but he found that it was only
amusement for them to swim around
these fences, even in heavy seaway.
1t is generally believed that hog can
swim but short distance until the
contact of the front hoofs cut the
throat, but these boars can swim
mile with comfort. Mr.. Smith pro-
poses to start crusade against these
boars in few days and expects to get
much sport from the hunt A pack OF
dogs will be required to start the
beasts from their lairs and bring them
to the open, where they may be shot.
This means the sacrifice Of many Of
the dogs, as when cornered one of these
boars will make short work Of his an
tagonist Some Of the bears are very
large and have great tusks, which
would rip open hound. The intention
is to employ eight or ten men who are
familiar with the marshes and haunts
of the hogs. With these Mr.. Smith and
some of his friends, all armed with RI
fles and shotguns, will await the ap-
pearance of the hogs in the thorough
fares and shoot them down. To COM
plete their determination will require
week or more, as they are roaming
over hundreds Of acres of marsh and
thicket.
