service recently that was not in the
regular order of exercises as an.
nounced from the pulpit Early in the
service, the pup had come into the
church and intrenched itself at the
end OF a pew, where It yelped noisy
defiance at the worshippers who
passed. 1t was not long before the
janitor realized his duty and started
to perform It. The little animal noted
his approach and retreated behind the
feet Of the occupants of the pew and
its intermittent yelp was turned into
a long roll OF defiance as the janitor
made frantic grabs at 1t.
The minister gave up the unequal
contest at this point and addressing
the janitor he said:

, not responsible for the present condi-
ton OF prices.
The proof is this: the rise In prices
is universal the world over. The
same condition that exists here, ex-
lists in Germany. France. England.
Austria, Russia. in China and japan.
All nations and all people are affect
ed alike. Prices OF foodstuffs have
scared in Holland, free trade coun-
try, and in France, which enjoys pro-
lection.
Now then: is the republican party
TO blame for the high cost of butter
and eggs in Spain? Is President Taft
responsible for the high prices In
China? Riots and revolts have &C.
CURED in a number of European cit
les, but 1t remains for the political
orator in this country to charge the
present administration for their oc-
currence. Common intelligence can
see that where the evil is an inter.
national one, the cause-at least the
main cause-must be OF an interna-
tional character
IL is agreed among the leading
economists of all nations that the
large increase in the worlds stock o.
gold is this one, great International
cause.
Gold Is the measure OF all values.
/; is the medium of exchange. IF the
production of gold exceeds that OF
another article, then it requires more
gold TO purchase that article. Ii is
then that prices increase.
Let us give you a few figures: Ia
1900 the worlds production OF gold
was 1855, 364,5 500; in 1871 it was esti-
mated at s461, 900, 100000, or almost
double the amount! Aside from this
general and international cause, the
situation in the United States has
been aggravated by other reasons.
Thus. for instance: the population in
the United States from 1900 TO 1910
increased 1863 per cent; the cattle
only 14.4 per cent for the same period
More people to feed and less meat 10
feed them on. Wheat and. corn only
increased 1.6 and 229 for the same
period. Are these facts not eloquent?
Taken in connection with an ever in
creasing gold output. do they not ex-
plain the rise in prices?
In the last ten years the population
in the cities increased 34.S, while tie
rural inhabitants show an increase OF
only 11.2 per cent. Does this not ex-
plain. in a measure, why the produc-
ton of food stuffs has not kept pace
with the growth of population? We
could go on and give figures and data
and statistics, pages long. II would
be accumulative. We have shown you
how utterly foolish is the claim of
those who would want TO blame the
republican party for the existing high
prices and who would vote against
President Taft because butter is So
cents a pound.
But the man who stops and thinks
for second will not be Influenced by
any such ridiculous talk.

WHY HE WOULD NOT DONATE.

he has been high in the counsels OF
the Democratic party. and a regular
contributor to the campaign funds OF
the organization. Whenever the time
came to get the checks in, Mr.. Lub-
bcrs came usually first
This year the Democratic managers
dropped him the same stereotyped
note that in campaigns gone by al.

check. Receiving no word from Mr..
Lubbers. one of the managers dropped
around to see him.
