The administration concludes-after purchas-
ing millions of dollars worth of silver at 7S to
so cents per ounce, and after demonetzing the
lunar metal and thus reducing it in value, and
wasting the money paid for it orignally-that
it is good enough for the Filipinos; and the
work of producing Ascent dollars for the bar
barians is under way. The special dollars will
have face value of SO cents they will be half
dollars in fact, but the words on the coins will
say 100 cents. The silver of which the "dol-
lsr' is to be made is supposed to be worth act
ually as cents, with scent margin value.
How does the government make the extra
cents value? By 6at-the me as all other
money is make. The quality of silver has not
changed since by an act of congress the metal
was made by law to be worth 100 cents on the
dollar; but since silver was demonetized, there
is difference of 55 cents on the dollar. De-
stroy silver money entirely, and the intrinsic
value of the metal would be but few cents an
ounce--a demonstration of the fact that neither
gold nor silver can logically be taken as
standard of values; the facts of the depreciation
in silver refute the arguments of the advocates
of the gold standard The Flaming Sword.

THE CENTURY'S BLOODY SUNSET.
w. /. Stead Predicts that the World will
be Shaken by Commissions of War!

The nineteenth century sets in blood In
China, the European nations, in Africa, Great
Britain, and IN the Philippines the Americans
are ali doing evil that good may come, with
astonishing confidence aud intrepidity. The
evil is obvious enough. The good still lies in
the future What is plain for all men to see is
that the Chinese factor may dominate the
whole problem of the new century 1t is rash
to prophesy when so much uncertainty prevails
as to the data. But then unless the closest OBJ
servers are utterly mistaken, the awakening of
China-achieved with so much perverse expen.
diture of effort and such inf1iction of hdeous
sufering-threatens civilization of the west
with dangers which have hitherto been simply
unthnkabe.
Whether from military or from an economic
point of view, the preaching of the dam that
has hitherto contained the reservoir of yellow
skinned humanity is one Of the most hazardous
enterprises to which Europe has ever addressed
itself. Uutil we can ascertain some hing as to
what is to happen in China, no one can hazard
an estimate as to what will happen elsewhere.
GREATEST WAR YET TO COME.
What | expect is, that there will be early in
the century tremendous slump in miltarisln,
imperialism and similar inflated stocks. What
| fear IS that, before this takes place, the world
may be shaken by convulsion of war, the like
of which no living man has seen. All the ee-
ments abound needed to produce such an explo-
sion. Should it come mankind i'll the discipline
of suffering may relearn many lessons which it
has forgotten in the hcyday Of its prosperity.
1t is idle constructing our pretty card castles in
a region in which before night the stoutest
towers may be shatteied by shock of an earth
quake. For the war which all men dread will
inevitably be followed by social catacysm,
the ultimate outcome of which no man can forsee.
see no way of averting either the war OF
the cataclysm, if the nations persist in their
present course of preferring the expansive ex-
tension of their frontiers to the intensive cult
vation of the territories already in their own
possession. Not in the conquest OF new do
mnion to be policed, but in the conquest of the
world by the principles of nternationalism and
federation embodied in the American Constitu-
tion seems to lie the noblest ambition of the
New World in the new century.-Flaming

people whose numbers increase, and the .nan-
ner in which wealth is applied, are the determ-
inne factors. How many of our people have
gained in vieor of body and activity of intellect?
And are our morals improved? And if there
is 10 gain III any of these things, shall we
not find that tbs dec;vve evidences of prosper
ity are llckiug, as surely as if there had been
no gain in numbers or wealth? The prosperity
tina, insures the safety of any people is an all
around prosperity. Mind, law and order are
before wealth, and mind and muscles are the
Instruments with which we create, develope
and unfold. The wel-noutished tree is strong.
Rome strongest OH the battle field when
her population was comparatively small and her
wealth inconsiderable. Her strength lay i'll the
character of her people, and her ultimate weak
ness and downfall was N the unworthiness of
her motives and the barbarism of her methods
quote John Ruskin in his lecture on war:
'Remember, no government IS ultimately
strong but in proportion to It's kindness and
justice, and that a nation does not strengthen
by merely multiplying and diffusing itself"
| can most heartily recommend the above
passage to careful study, aud especially now,
when the great whoop' 'er-up combine of poll
ticans and capitalists have lauded America up
to the skies, and even beyond.
The combine boasts of Americas commerce
and her seizure of more territory Where is
the gain in good things? Do we find herein
the fruit that good trees bring forth? Not so.
Tyre and Sdon traded with all nations and
in blood establish I'd colonies Now, the site of
the cities can scarcely be found, and their peo-
pie are extinct. Rome conquered and plunder-
ed the civilized world. In turn, she was paid
back u her own coin. There was the absence
of kindness and justice.
There was time when those nations thought
they prosperous, and doubtless there was
| the loud vaunting of their rulers, similar to
that we read and hear in our own country; but
it is the reverse Of prosperity that our home
people taxed to support army of subjuga-
tiou, and Our character for kindness and Justice
is shaken or destroyed by the wan.on slaughter
of people with whom we should have had nc
quarrel. Shall | say that high aims and lofty
deeds are the decisive test OF gains in gooo
things? And shall assume that by tha. test
our politicians are leading down to the igncr
ance aud wretchedness of Old World people.
Again, 1 submit the question OF whether O
not our CROWN, commerce is adding material,

Prosperity.

Adam Smith, in "Weath of Nations laid
Of the prosperity of a country is the increase of
the number of its Inhabitants"
Adam Smith is out OF date, according to pop
ular impression of to-day. The up-to-date idea
is that prosperity is the gobblng of all wealth
by the corporations. AT least, that is the, teach
ing of some politicians and metropolitan news
papers.
1t is possible that neither Smith or the mod
ern prosperity whoopers right. There is
loom tor investigation.
A farmer considers tree thrifty when all its
parts are growing-when every leaf is green.
The evidences of thrift or decay are nfallibly
sure to the practised eye, and external evidence
is never wanting. nation may be likened to
tree, prosperity standing for thrift.
/ assume that that nation is prosperous whose
people are intelligent, we'll fed and clothed, and
comparatively free from vice.
The substance of prosperity, as defined, is
gain in good things. 1t admitted that gain
in numbers of population is good thing, but
not decisive, if there is no gain in other good
things.
A gain in numbers might be the reverse of
prosperity. No one will claim that gain in
the number of paupers and criminals is evid-
ence of prosperity if the wealth is lodged in the
hanGs of few persons. The evidence, as
shown by history, is all to the contrary. A
people may be prosperous, and not have an
abundance of wealth; but no people can be
prosperous where wealth is the power that con-
trolls the functions of government.
We need only to point to China to prove that
mere numbers do not constitute prosperity. 1t
is very probable that population in China was
on the increase at time when prevailing con-
d;tions were rushing her people headlong to
national destruction.
There is more wealth in the city of London
than any other city of the world, and more
crime and poverty.
In America, population has doubled in about
every twenty-five years during the last century
and the development of wealth has been JUS
as Aattering; but, in the present time, few
people own the wealth. Only small portion
of the tree is properly nourished. Shrive>t
branches appear in the universal struggle of th
many for living; and LATER we may surel
look for dead boughs and decaying trunk
One good thing that accompanies prosperity
plainly lacking. There is decisive evidenc
of decay.
Increase in numbers cannot always be "de
cisive" evidence of prosperity; neither the de
velopment of wealth. The character of t.

THE POWER OF THE SOWER.


Soon will the lonesome cricket by the stone
Begin to hush the night; and lightly blown
Field fragrances will fill the fading blue
Old furrow scents that ancient Eden knew
Soon in the upper twilight will be heard
The wingng whisper Of homing bird.
Who is it coming on the slant brown slope,
Touched by the twilight and her mournful hope
Coming with Hero step, with rhythmic swing,
Where all the bodily motions weave and sng2
The grief Of the ground is in him, yet the power
OF the Earth TO hide the furrow with the flower,
He is the stone rejected yet the stone
Whereon is built metropolis and throne.
Out Of his toll come all their pompous shows,
Their purple luxury and plush reposel
The CRIME Of this bruised hand keeps tender white
The hands that never labor, day nor night
His feet that knows only the fields rough floors
Send lordly steps down echoing corridors
Yea, this vcarous toiler at the plow
Gives that fine palor to my lady's brow.
