adorn his high boots are upside down,
showing that while the man who Gre

line he was totally unfamiliar with the
art Of riding. These reversed spurs
are not always noticed by visitors, but
those who know about them find them
one of the most interesting features
of the monument. One of the famous
swords welded by that warrior, the
Black Prince, is to be seen in window

INCREASED PROSPERITY.

The New Orleans Picayune Of last
Sunday, In burst Of ecstacy, com-
menting on the increased property
OF the country, says: '.Just what In.
fluence on the worlds trade the In
creased production Of gold has OK.
erted 1t would be difficult to say, but
that there 10 an intimate connecti on
between the phenomenal increase ii
the worlds supply Of gold and the
great prosperity Of the past year there
ID no room for doubling.
In 1895 when the production Of gold
having run down to the very low
ebb, and the practical cessation Of the
coinage Of silver had made money
very scarce and times were hard and
labor could not get employment, the
advocates Of free silver predioated that
the increase Of the volume Of money
would increase the prosperity Of the
country, and would give employment
to labor. Those who opposed the free
coinage Of silver, among them being
the Picayune, denied this position.
Now the Pieay une admits that the in
creased quantity Of money has pro-
duced. the effect predicted by the ad-
vocates Of free silver. It says in the
same article that this prosperity has
given employment to all available
labor and offers work to more laborers
than are available, and completely
overwhelms transportation facilities.
This is what the advocates Of free
silver said the increase Of the volume
Of money would do.
It is no answer to say that the in
crease Of the volume Of money has
been by the discovery Of increased
volumes Of gold. It is the increase
Of metallic money that has produced
the prosperous result without refer.
ence to whether that money lis white
or yellow. Nobody in 1896 could
foresee that this gold would be dis
covered. and 1t was necessary to argue
the case with the lights then before
us, and with these lights the plo-
duction Of gold being very low, it
was argued by free silver men that
if such thing continued business would
be depressed, labor would seek employ
ment that 1t could not find. and ad.
versity, instead Of prosperity, would
seize the country, but that with the
increase Of money the opposite would
be true, and labor would find employ
ment, business would be prosperous,
and prosperity would prevail. The
result has verified the prediction.
