Immediately on being Jailed, written
to the government, telling of the pro
jected invasion Of Ireland by the
French fleet, and saying that 1t had
come to him from a sure source. The
government had at once taken action.
Regarding the death Of Boyne, the
only living thing in bis favor was
that his own sword-point was free
from stain. His lawyer made the ut
most Of this, but to no avail The
impression in the court was that both
men had been drinking; that they
had quarreled, and that without n
duel being fought Dyck had killed
his enemy.
That there had been no duel was
clear from the fact that Erris Boynes
sword was undrawn, The charge
however, on the instigation Of the
attorney general, who vas grateful
for the information about France,
had been changed from murder to
manelaughter. though it seemed clear
that Royne had been ruthlessly killed

The March
of EUents

THE country is ready to go ahead
and be prosperous. Whenever
the bankers are ready to under
write business, prosperity will be
here with rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes.
The "deflation" process was be.
gun too suddenly and carried beyond
wise limits. Very few bankers-or
other men, either-are able to fore
see the reactions of finance. The
theory of drastic deflation was to
make the fifty cent dollar worth one
hundred cents at once. This sounded
well, particularly to those who had
the money. But the bad effect upon
foreign exchange and foreign buy
ing, and the inevitable upsetting of
the balance between debts and
credits, as we'll as the inevitable dis
turbance of the equilibrium between
producing capital and producing la,
Dor, were factors which seem not to-,
have had due consideration by those
who had both the will and the power
to "deflate" the currency suddenly.
Their theory was good but their
practice was very bad, because they
insisted upon doing in a few months
what should have been done gradu-
ally over period of many months.
Over four hundred million dollars
go from American pockets to Eng
lish insurance corporations each
year.
Half the money paid in premiums
is spent on salaries, commissions and
expenses.
Half of the remaining half is put
away as surplus-to be divided
among insiders.
Public ownership and operation of
railroads, fuel deposits, water power
and insurance would make things
look much different to the farmers,
merchants and wage. earners.
