I am perfectly confident having studied
the subject for years. that a practically

Following will be some Of the results:
l. A wholly new degree of stability in
business affairs-Each time that there
has been an era of falling prices for
commodities fall in the average of
prices-the result has been the slowing
down OF industrial activity; in other
words. the discharge Of some OF the
hands" owing to lack OF orders, and
employers have suffered losses: at least.
a loss OF some OF the usual profits. And
In the payment of debts the debtors have
been called upon to pay more purchasing
power than they borrowed.
On the other hand, each time that
there has been an era OF rising prices
for commodities rise in the average OF
prices-the unjust and hurtful conditions
Have been reversed. While industry has
been stimulated greatly and the unem-
ployed hands had been set to work.
the real wages of all employed have been
reduced, owing to the fact that wages do
not rise for some time after the price
level has started up, and then during
our trust era the wages, as a general
thing, have not risen as fast as have the
prices of the things which the wages
purchase. Thus real wages have been

THE BITTER LETTERS"
OF LINCQLNS WIDOW
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The bitter letters OF Mrs. Lincoln,
written by the wife of the martyred
are TO be sold at public autcion. a New
York news dispatch says. Those letters,
famous because they show the way Con-
gress neglected Mrs. Lincoln and her
family, were written to Norman S. Bent
ley. a New York merchant. Twenty of
them were discovered in an old ware
house fifteen years ago. There are only
twelve TO be sold at the auction.
The FIRST letter was dated May 81, 1855.

as a Presidents widow. Congress at that
time had not allowed her $500, one

My health is very miserable. and my
nerves so completely shattered that quiet

very essential to us, in our unexpected
desola ton, We find that boarding in the
city in quiet manner. with two small
rooms and parlor, costs us 81 per day

BY December Of that year Mrs. Lincoln
began TO write her displeasure towart
Congress. A letter written two davo
before Christmas said:
How truly contemplate the conduct
of Congress is-to be willing to see US
forever without a home"
A few days later Mrs. Lincoln was up
braiding the nation for lavishing gifts
on Grant and Sherman and other war
heroes, entirely forgetting her:
when we reflect that our rowing gen.

beloved husband greater and better than

by Congress:

THE CITY UNIVERSITY.

fron the lnoeftEuent
We kave State universities, and We are
beginning to have city universities.
Among our cities which have successfully
conducted such universities or colleges
are New York and Cincinnati
The city university is a new institution
abroad as well as in this country. In
England such are the universities of Lon
don, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester.
Leeds. and five others, and such are the
new German universities at Hamburg and
Frankfort. The University of Leipzig is
municipal and old. Our largest cities have
universities already established by pri-
waite benefaction within their own limits
or close at hand, so that all that is needed
to make them municipal is for the city
TO make an annual grant to the amount
for the tuition of students living within
their limits. Why should not Boston or
New Haven or Chicago or Philadelphia
pay the tuition Of students at universities

books. from a spelling book to,an ety.

finished. But the incessant attempts to
supplant my books. and defeat my OBJ
ject without other reasons, would pre-
vent me from continuing my labors.
English philology is in a miserable con-
dition. both in England and the United
States: old errors are continually re-
published. and without more accurate
scholarships in the higher serninaries OF
learning in both countries. and without
more accurate scholars for the makers
of books for schools, and for superin-
tendents Of education. all efforts OF mine
to reform and improve the language will
be useless.

4th verses, in abiding to some OF the
results which follow the re-establishing
OF the work OF God in these days, thus
speaks concerning the gathering of the
people together for the purpose of being
taught in the ways of the Lord and
walking in His paths. But in the last
days it shall come TO pass that the house
of the Lord shall be established in the
top Of the mountains, and II shall be
exalted above the hills, and people shall
flow into II. And many nations shall
come and say, come and let us go up

house of the God of Jacob, and He will
teach US of His ways, and We will walk
in His paths, for the law shall go forth
of Zion and the word of the Lord from

afar off; and they shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up
