| The enacting mo law of the cur
rency bill as it finah'' came out OF the
conference committee of the senate
and the house is foregOne cOnclu-
sion, and the national banks are
already preparing to take advantage
OF the vast benefit it confers on them.
They have their applications all pre-
pared for the extra 10 per cent circu-
lation that they can take out on the
bonds they have now on deposit
which means twenty-five millions or
so more of dollars for them practi-
cally without the payment on their
part of cent. They are also buying
up the government bonds which are
to be funded in the new 3O-year loan
and which the treasury will have to
buy from them at the market price
whatever that may be after they are
through manipulating the market.
The bill, in its amended form, has
already met with the approval of the
senate. and its passage in the house
by safe majority is certain. McKin-
ley is sure to sign it when it reaches
him, and then the bankers harvest
will begin. The immediate effect on
the business of the country is a mat
ter of doubt, but the probabilities are
that, as the amount of paper money
in circulation will be increased. there
will be a further revival OF specula-
ton and of an era of prosperity.
This last the republican party
leaders are calculating on to help
them out of their difficulties this fall.
They believe that with fictitious
boom in business the people will
overlook all the blunders that have
been committed and retain the Me
kinley administration in power for
another four years. The public con-
science is to be lulled by an abundance |

DEAF CHILDREN LEARN MUSIC
Interesting Experiments That Have
Met with q Successful Re-
suit at Detroit.

An interesting work with deaf chill
dren is being done under the direction
of the supervisor of music in the De
troit public schools. A class from
which the best results are obtained
consists OF about ak pupils. The chill
dren gather around a piano, resting
their hands and In some cases their
arms upon the instrument. Soon after
a piece is starte ed the children will be
gin to count in correct time with the
music, catching the accentuation of
beats through the vibration of the
wood. Occasionally a child would seem
to progress beyond the mere response
to time and count aloud with some APP
Proclamation to the tune, says the Buff
falo Express.
When this fact was observed by the
teacher the pupils were told to repeat
the words baby. baby" over and over
and at the same time a lullaby was
played on the piano. In a short time IL
was noticed that nearly all the children
with whom the experiment was tried
indicated the air with more or less dis
tinctness. Still another experiment
was tried by singing the scale into thu
ear of boy and playing IL on the piano.
After few trials the pupil was able ~
sound the notes as well as could many
children with unimpalred hearing.
These tests seem TO indicate that sing
ing with some degree of accuracy may
be taught to most deaf children. If
such proves the fact a new pleasure and
new educative influence will come
into their lives.

APPEAL FROM KRUGER.
AMERICA MAY MEDIATE.

The Hague, March 12.-It is learned
from a reliable source that President
Kruger, through the consuls at Pre-
toria, has appealed for the interven-
ton OF the great powers in the Trans
vaal war, and has also appealed TO
the governments Of Belgim, Holland
and Switzerland.
Washington, March 12-There is
reason to believe that the United
States government is using it's good
offices to restore peace between Great
Britain and the South African repub-
lies. This has not taken the shape
of a proffer of mediation. That
would I've distinctly repugnant to
Great Britain, and, according to the
rule of international law which has,
without exception, governed the
State department in thepast. it could
not be volunteered by the United
States until it was known to be az
ceptable to both parties to the war.
But the United States might very
properly serve as an intermediary to
transmit an appeal for peace and the
terms upon which peace can be Sc
cured. The united States has sue
cessfully served in this capacity in
the past, notably in the termination
of the Carbohydrates war, and it is
believed its good offices in this line
are now being extended.

You will find it "a cheaper grade. We
have bought 3 car loads of the finest
and latest improved implements. In
buying our implements we selected
the best of everything. Others may
tell YOU that we could not get the
best as they had it, but don't you
cost more money, and the people
around Butler have never had a
chance to know what the best imple-
ments are. We have them, and We
paid more money for them too than
others paid for theirs, but we will not
ask you any more for them, and prob
| ably not as much.
You may have had Il corn planter,
a cultivator, a sulky or gang pillow, a
harrow or walking pillow that you
thought was good, but come and buy
an Avery & Sattley planter or culti-
vator, or a Hummer sulky or gang
pillow, or a Sattley angle steel bar
harrow and You will then say you
have never had good implements be-
fore. We will guarantee every piece
OF implement this year to be the best
you ever used or you can return it,
aud We want TO impress on the minds
OF the people that WE sell the Sayers
L Scovill buggies, don't forget the
name. 1t is the best buggy, surrey
and phaeton in the United States to-
day The reason We want to impress
the name on YOUR mind, is, We have
known of several instances where d
man would go to a competitor of
ours and say he wanted buggy like
Mr.. Smith for Smith said it was the
best buggy he ever saw, when our
competitor would tell him he sold
Mr.. Smith that buggy, when in fact

sold by us
We have sold these buggies for two
years and you can see one to-day
and it looks like new buggy, they
are good for twenty years with proper
care.
We want the people of Bates county
to know that they can buy ANYTHING
from us, from a darning needle to a
threshing machine, and We want
everybody in Bates county to come
and examine our goods and get
prices, then We are sure TO sell them
We will again promise you. in re-
gard to produce, that we will not al
low anyone to pay YOU more for your
chickens, turkeys, eggs. etc, than we
will, and we think the people know
this, from the large amount they
bring Us and while our trade is still

New York News.
That the national bankers are a
favored class is made apparent by
even the most cursory examination
of their position. Under the new cur
rency act they will be able to take
out 81 900 worth of notes for every
81 900 worth of bonds that they de-
posit with the Treasury, so that they
practically will do business on the
credit OF the government alone. The
money originally invested in the pur-
chase OF the bonds is again in the
shape of notes.
On the bonds deposited as security
for the notes, the bank receives inter
est. and the notes it loans out at in
terest also. so that on money invest
ed in the business double interest is
received, thanks to the kindness of
the government
Were the government to issue its
own notes direct to the people it
would save the amount it pays TO he
banks at interest on the bonds and
it could even require the banks to
pay it for the use OF whatever notes
they might need for their customers.
The only thing that makes notes OF
the banks valuable is the cuarsn-
tee of the government that they shall
be redeemed, so that the banks are
actually being paid for making use
OF something for which they ought to
be obliged to pay. This is the Re-
publican financial policy in a nutshell.

out any corresponding benefit. but ON
