m Drought to its proper level. ATI articles man-
nfactured by machinery have declined In prtoe,
for the reason that with each Invention the
cost of producing the article la lessened. Hu
man genius haa produced more remits tor
cheapening production in the last 60 years
than in all the agea of the world before that
time. These grand triumphs of man over mat
ter. Instead of showing depression from
standard of value, show forth the glory and
dignity of the human Intellect, and are an un
mixed blussing to the whole human family.
Gould any one outside of a lnnatio asylum at
tribute all these diverse and Inconsistent
movements of prices to one cause, and tha
cause acting evenly and uniformly npon all
things alike?
What Makes Interest JatwI
Interest haa declined since 1872 in my part
of the country from 8 per cent per month to
6 and 8 per cent per annum. There la no deny
ing the fact that the golQDUga ma mat. ine
south and west have saved more on the decline
of interest than they have lost In the deoline
in wheat and ootton. Interest 18 always low
under an honest standard, among an honest
people, where money la plentiful. It la lower
In London than in any other spot on the globe
because her standard Is stable and her com
mercial Integrity baa been the care of her
statesmen and her people for agea past. Eng
land's punctuality In meeting her obligations
baa made London the clearing house of the
world. Tyre was the London of ancient times.
Boated on the eastern end of the Mediterra
nean, she reiKned ciueen of commeroe for cen
turies. The scepter of commercial greatness
passed from her when her own children reared
Carthage at the other end of that Bea. Some
DUO vears ago England planted colonies In
America, and today the united Estates is Eng
land's only formidable rival for the com
merce of the world. The object lesson of an
cient history Is being repeated. If the Insati
able mine owners by use of their millions, and
tho nlace hunting demagogues by unctuous ap-
neals to Dreiudice, succeed in driving thla
country from the standard of civilization and
commerce, tha standard that announces in
toftrlty at home and inupirea confidence
abroad, to a flat standard and silver basla,
then England will have no rival to grapple
with her in the marts of the world.
More Gold and More Credits.
The third proposition Is that the supply of
eold is insufficient to make It a correct stand
ard and Its scarcity will tend to depress
prices. The averuge annual output of gold of
the world for the flrst half of this century, in
round numbers, was I15,UOO,000. From 1851 to
18C5, covering the gold boom In California and
Australia, the yearly average was 18O,0OO,00U.
The output for 1898 was $165,000,000 and for 1804
$181,000,000. The birth rate among gold using
countrins is not increasing, while the produc
tion of gold is on the increase, aa Just stated.
This answer ought to satisfy even the extreme
16 to 1 'people the "per oapita" Populist es
pecially In view of the faot that Improvements
in power and machinery are being applied to
the production or gold, while me genius oi in
vention finds no Inducement offered nor Hold
for operation in the population business.
My next answer Is that the more highly en
lightened the world beoomes, and the greater
the Improvements in business methods, the
less necessity there la for the use of actual
money of any kind. Steam and electricity
have so knitted civilized people together that
they are practically one oommunlty. Business
men speak to each other around the world aa
if they were assembled in the same building.
Their business is done on a system of credit,
without the uhi' of money, except for ultimate
settlement. KX- is thla method confined to
business men. It is broadening with the evolu
tion of man from a lower to a higher plane of
intelligence. A farmer may now live for a
whole year on the fat of the land and never
handle a dollar In money during that time.
He may reoeive chocks for his crop, deposit
them to his credit with a bank and draw on
the bank for what he owes and spends. Nei
ther ho nor the men who bought his orop had a
dollar In the bank. They only had credit
there.
The bank owns the money in ita vault, and
ita customers simply have the bank's obliga
tion. Bunk credits perform preoisuly the same
work that gold and silver do, and they per
form It much quicker and more conveniently.
The Boots are the most conservative people In
the world, and thoy have had the best banking
svHtem of any people for WO years. Un a gold
rosurve of $23,062,000 they support bankoredita
to the amount of $448,1188,000. The best author-
itlos estimate that only one bill of exchange
In 600,000 la ever paid In money In England.
(iold, stiver and other money perform 1 per
cent of the exchanges in this country, and
orodlta in the ahnue of bills, notes, ohecks,
eta., do the other OB per oent. The business
of the world oould no more be.done today with
gold and silver than Ita Inland transportation
oould be done with ox wagons.
The 16 to 1 orators, In denouncing tha act of
1878, assort that half the money of the country
was dostroyed and hold out the idea thut our
money haa boon oontraoted to that extent. In
187? our population was 40,600,000 and our per
otipltu of nionny was $18.70. In 1804, after the
country had boon suffering with goH standard
for lil yoara, our population la 88,276,000, and
our por capita of money la $116.44, and we have
much better money now tnan ne naa inon.
The adoption ot the gold standard aa a muaa
nre of value did not Increase the demand for
gold for use to any great extent. Alcohol U
the standard for measuring the strength of all
spirituous llqaora, yet that fact haa never boon
found to bo very straining on alcohol.
A Surfeit of Silver.
Fourth proposition, that the free and unlim
ited oolnngo ot atlvor at 16 to 1 wonld create
unlimited dumand for sliver and restore It to
a oar. How the more coinage of silver ean in
any way Increase Ita use among the people I
am nnable to understand. It there was not
enough of It for use aa money and tha govern
ment waa limiting tha coinage of It and there
by denying the pooplo of the naa of It aa
money, then there would be foroa In the prop
osition to tnorease the ouinage of silver. But
our oondltlon la exactly the reverse of that
The amount of mined and nnoolned silver In
the treasury is $B12,0UU,O0O, while the amount
In circulation la about $107,000,000.
To unoournge the use of silver by the people
the government sxotuuigea outned silver at lti
muiU for gold or legal tender currency and
pays the express charges on the silver to any
part of tlu eoautry. This coined sliver Is all
good money. The dollars are iegal tender for
all debt In any amount, and the balvea, quar
ters and dimes are exchangeable In sums of
IA) for gold or other lugal tenders. Notwith
standing the InduoMueut ottered by the gov
ernment to promote the taw of silver, It haa
hitherto bnen unable to foroa Into circulation
more than about one- fifth o Ita stock on band.
Then, why all thla clamor for more eninage! If
a man had five times aa much blood In his body
as bis arteries and veins would ctmulate and
four Of lbs of It was lying Idle around hla
heart, would any one aay that soon a man
needed a free and unlimited Infusion of blood!
A government can no mors Induce people
nee money they do not want than It ean Indnes
them to eat what they do not like. The true
ulaeeof silver lass a change money. It la India-
penwilile for that purpuee and unaulted to any
other, and all the sliver tongued orators In the
land onnn.it change thla fart. The $1, $X&0 and
$11 goldplerea were too email and were unpop
ular aa change money, and the government
skipped the coinage of thera.
tin the other hand, silver la not a debt pay
ing money In any eonslderable amount, nr
the money ot nuiimerve, for the reason that It
la too bulky and too heavy. When man gel
over $6 or $10 ot It, he unloads on the flret
tnk be eomea to, and the bank unloads on
tha treasury. Tliua tha circulation of It is Urn
It.-d to Jnat what the people will use. When
the people get enough of a thing, they kmv
It, ami yon cannot argue with thera about It.
They are gullible oti theories, but Intensely
pre. Ileal In buatneas.
The Ureal Crime of liTV
We have heard a great deal about detnonetl
tatui of silver. ! ua si the extent ot "the
groat crime ot lHTtL" In liVA In order to pre

iMuage ot them for private aenmnt waa stop-

balv. Quarters, dimes and half dimes.
That crime was eommltted under Millard fill-

In Kit the standard silver dollar of 41?S

aged man biwl over seen oneof them. The peo
ple had. demonetized them by melting them
down or by sending them abroad for that
purpose, and to this good day they have never
been -demonetized in any other way. '
The act of 1873 simply recognised what the
people had done and for five years continued
the policy that the people had been pursuing
for nearly half a century. The legal tender
faculty of this dollar waa restored to It 17
years ago. Tho government haa $350,000,000
of it on hand nonv, and has stood ready at all
times to furnish it to anybody who wanted it.

Making War Balloons.
Women make the aercstats, or vrar
balloons, used by the British govern
ment, and also do some part of the rop
ing1 of the balloons. TT.ey work in
sheds built specially for the purpose.
There are about 35 women engaged,
and all earn good wages. They are
mostly the wives and daughters of sol
diers, and have all been carefully
trained by the superintendent of the
balloon department. The making of
the balloons requires a very delicate
touch, one thin Aim of bullock's skin
having to be laid over another with the
greatest care. The ends of the xopes
have also to be woven into each other
with extraordinary deftness.
Isolated Weather Station.
Rockall, a desolate granite rock ris
ing only 70 feet above the sea, between
Iceland and the Hebrides, is to be made
an English meteorological station. It
lies 850 miles from land, the nearest
point to it being the little island of St.
Kilda, 150 miles away, and itself nearly
100 miles from the main group of the
Hebrides, Bockall is in the path of tbe
cylonic disturbances on the Atlantic,
and the station there would give timely
warning of storms approaching tbt
British coast.

The best scout in the Matabele war a
an American, Burnham, a Texan, who
wears a Texan sombrero and rides a
Texas saddle. He fights for the pleas
ure of fighting. "His education and his
natural powers of inductive reasoning,"
ays an English newspaper correspond
ent, "raise him at once to a high rank
among the scouts of this or any other
countrtj ." Burnham yea are tbe won
der of all beholders. They are small,
roving, blue eyes. Women fall in love
with them. Cecil Rhodes says thef can
see right through a mountain when ft
Matabele is on the other side of it. An
other correspondent declares the sin
ewy little man he is only five feet
four in height to be a veritable pocket
edition of nercules. Then he adds,
most impressively: "And withal he i
modest and truthful," which is some
thing wonderful and unaccountable in
South Africa.
Burn ham's greatest feat was the
shooting of M'limo under circumstances
that would have done credit to Davy
Crockett. M'limo was the great witch
doctor of the Matabele. He started the
rebellion, eaying that he could turn
away the bullets from Uncle Hiram
Maxim's patent music box into water
if his fellow countrtymen would only
bring him presents in return for the
favor. His throne was in a cave which
was the center of pilgrimages for the
natives far and near. Burnham deter
mined to kill him. The British officers
laughed at his attempt as a "fool's
errand." But he enlisted the assistance
of a sturdy young Englishman named
Armstrong, and they started for
M'limo's cave. The hills were fairly
swarming with natives, and Burnham
and Armstrong traveled by night and
slept by day. They led their horses, no
aa to mnke as little noise as possible,
and also to keep them fresh, as they
knew after M'limo had been killed it
would depend upon their horses wheth
er they would be able to return to the
laager or not.
When they arrived ia sight of the
cave they found 'hundreds of natives
about, but were disgusted to find that
M'limohLmself waa not there, being two
or three miles away. They sent the
negro servant whom they had brought
with them to tell the witch doctor that
some natives were waiting for him with
great quantities of presents. Then, like
the good scouts they were, they moved
on some distance from the place where
they told the servant they would wait
for him, bo as to be on guard in ease ho
played them f aluc. But in doing so they
ran plump into a body of Kaffirs. II ail
the Kafllra been Matabele the two scouts
would have been killed then and thert.
Burnham pretended they were in great
fear of M lLmo and wanted to make hltn
presents. Tbe Kafllra persuaded the
M&tahele to leave the scouts alone until
M'limo came and decided what should
l done with them. So they started
divwn the road from the cove to meet
M'limo. When they met him Bumharn
taw that if he hot M llmo the whole
crowd of native would be on them in
a minute. . After going throturh a
long orgy, M'limo Invited thorn into a
cave alone and told the natives to clear
out. No sooner were ther In the cave
than Burnham oent a bullet through
Mllmo'i skull.
"We didn't wait to lay the body
out," my Burnham, "but we ran for
our ho men with all our might. The nig
gers followed and shot at ua repeated
ly, but their aim was bad. W put our
horse to it for all they were worth.
It seemed to me that our horwre jumped
over nome rocks aa high aa their heads,
and It U a wonder to me that they didn't
break thr-Vr rieeka and ours into the bar
gain." Though the killing of MUmo

Appreciated the Cider.
Some years ago a well-known foreign
prince, who owns a large estate in the
midlands of England, invited his ten-
ante to a hunt breakfast, at which claret
was the principal beverage. After the
breakfast, and just before the hounds
svere thrown off, champagne was handed
around in large cups, when one old
fashioned farmer, after taking a long
pull at one of the cups and smacking
his lips, exclaimed: "Well, your royal
highness, I didn't think much of that
port wine we had at lunch, but I must
say this cider is the best I ever tasted."
