one or two the most. I here were
I Imni twenty-five to thirty steniner
on each side. The Italians ms-iii to
have largely rliel on two sister
ironclad frigate, the IU d'ltalia and
tlie Uedi lNirtujful, built by Webb
in New York. They had also a
three turreted monitor of the Coles
system. One of the two ironclad
frigates was lVrsano's rlnKhi. The
Austrlans had no sliijw that were
ts(ual to the tw o larK) Italians. They
liad five or six ironclads. The Ferd
inand Max wits plated with from 4
to 4 3-4 Inches of iron.
The battle began with a cannonade
but the Austrians, whose batteries
were inferior, closed in as rapidly as
possible, and under cover of the
smoke Isanti to use their ships tu
rams. Several of the Italians were
sunk. The lirachke rammed the
Italian turret ship anil inflicted a
wound which sent her out of action.
She siustsrsled in reaching Annina
and sunk at the harbor's mouth.

this event in the imst thrilling Ian

j mediately, of her crew of most ;no
j were drowned. The Kaiser Max, a
ugmer viv-s-i, was not seriously nun.
This was the greatest naval comlsU
sinis the inlnMluctiou if steambut
I we know that the Austrians obtained
the victory by the ram, and that the
Italians fought with their batteries
only.
Many rams have own designed
lietwis'ii the yimrs Istvi and 1M, but
all, until the Kahtadin. were either
rains and guntioHis or rams and
tor-
jsslo U.ats. It rcmainisl for Admir
al A milieu, 1'. S. X., to dsign a
vitws-l which should le a mm and
and nothing but a mm.
From this brief history certain de
ductions can le made. Perhaps the
facts most clearly shown is that two
mms acting in i-ows-rt are more than
a match for any one ship, even if ohe
lie far Mi-rior to either of the two.
This is demonstrated by the sinking
of the Indianola by the William II.
Webb and the usmi of the West,
the remarkable sumsss of the two
I'llett mms in fighting the eight
Confederate rams, June ti, 1st!-, and
by the sinking of the Yaruna by the
(lovernor Moore and the Stonewall
Jackson.
Another fact demou.stretisj is that
the relative effis't on the vessel struck
and on the ram is in projMirtion to
the sjsrssl of tl.it rain. Perhaps this
netsjed no demonstration, lielng a
plain principle of mechanics. Ppeed
and rapidity of revolution are of
course great consideration, and from
this we-may conclude that great size
is not essential, nt.r even desirable.
Or to put It In another way : A
million dollars spent in building two
rains carrying loo men each is a let
ter investment than if spent in the
construction of one ram carrylnl" -00
men. A moderate ize with good
pee is the ""t, aud in my opinion ,
the katahdin Is Just about right.
In rnr.l Hirhtlntr the success Or fllil-l
tiro is determined in so few minutes
the rush and struggle being so ex
citing and the danger apparently so
terrible that only the coolest headed
ofHoer are flttisl to command rams.
Uverything that can le done to
mask an attack or rams and
cover
their evolutions is as important as in
torjssjo lioat attacks. Drilling in
ram handling tan, in the nature of
thing's little like real war, and so
it apsstrswise to have rams which
must depend on ramming only, for
if they have guns or torpedoes and
the crew is drilled to handle them
they will in the excitement of battle
depend 'instinctively on these weap
ons instead of on the ram. The
great eUvX-esa of the Queen of tba
West and the Monarch ia larfely do
nuu
I Leir
No better overhauling Ikimt cuuld
' deigned for a ram than the pooa
low of lh "W halebudu."

If might hutler, the great ship
would undoubtedly lie sunk. If the
overhanging bow of the Kaiser Max
isHild do auch w ork steaming at auch
an insignificant p,I, would not the
"whalebacks" ntak formidable

lu tsinclusion, it sisms to the
writer that the financial ,utlon
should lie carefully considered. A
battle-ship, costs, perhaM, 4,00.0(i0
to eonstnict, and about A-IOOhmj a
year to keep in commiasiou, or, al
low iug the iutew-st to 1 4 sr cent.,
it costs the govcrumeut over tV.j)ituoo
a year to o n a battle-ship.
This 1'ioney would build a Kutuh
dln or maintain a great fleet of
"wbalebacks" subject to the neetts of
the nation.

Planetary formation in our view i
Is dependent wholly uon ' two

though the substance uic.'er end the

there must have been a period when

axial rotation la order to develop the
centrifugal force. The Sun exit-led
no doubt in its cometary state with
out axial rotation and as it glatv-ed
here and there through the im
menaity of space, gathering in the
various chaotic substances in its path
until it began to consolidate or
harden; then it was that the resist
ing medium iu space began to
influence fu movements. And the
nucleus cf the great comet began
slowly tJ revolve, and the farther It
moved through space the greater
axial telocity it acquired until it

furnUies the electrical currents to

cenirifugal force of the Sun Is not as

a good deal of confusion in the pop

the matter fully, and determining
whether the statement iscarrhst out
with regard to all couiiinaJiticia.
Aihim Smith, in ids groat tgxt
IsMik on political ts-oitoiuy -the -"Wraith
of Nations" -refers Uie
ultimate value of all i-ommoditlcs tu
the labor standard. I Ii says :
"Equal quantiths of labor, at ail
times and plais-s, may lie .said to la
of equal value to the laborer, lu his
ordinary state of health, strength and
spirits, in the ordinary degree of his
skill and dexterity, he must always
lay down the same iiortion of his
ease, his liberty and bis happiness.
The priis? which he pays must
always be the same, whatever may
Isj the quantity of goods which he
receives In return for lt. Of these,
Indeed, It may sometimes purchase a
greater and sometimes a lesser quan
tity, but it is their value which
varied, not that of the labor which
purchases them."
Ijtlxr alone, therefore, never
varying in it own value, Is alone
the ultimate and real standard by
which the value of all commodities
and at all times and places be
estimated and trom pared. It is their
real price; money is their nominal
price only.
Now, it is clear that if gold haa
become relatively dearer w lthln the
ast half century, then a certain
amount of labor will he paid now
with less gold than It was flfty
yeura ago. Or, to state the same
fact in dilfcrent form, if guld has
btssMiie doan-r, then a fixed aum
will buy inoie lalior than the same
sum would at that timo. And v. e
may also nu-a.rc the prices of com
modities farm products, manu
factured articles, ele., In labor j and,
if as is asaerfVsl, coriimrailtleH have
not changed in actual value, a cer
tain amount ol' labor will buv no
more and no li--w of them than It did
then.
The treasury department ha an
official report on this topic. Kxperu
have made a painstaking investi.fi.- '
Hon of prices for the hut fifty years,
and the rcults thereof enable us to
establish the incorrect n ess of tlie
proisjhition of the free ailver men.
Here arc some facts :
A fixed amount of labor earnest
A.s7.T0 in gold iu II Hi; it earned 1100
in gold in Isikl; and il earuert siCO.TO
in gold in the year lsttl.
This show s that gold is today .'17
s-r ts-nt. chea;ier than it was in
I860, and 4-'j per cent, cheaper than
it was in 149, measured by a fixed
amount of labor. Have tlie labor
ing men leen "ground dow n under
the heel of the money power, by the
appreciation of gold," as has been
wildly claimed? Hy no means ; in
fact, quite the reverse.
As to the value of commodities,
measured by the labor standard, this
report shows the position of the
"cheap money" men, that they have
not decreased in aleaolute value, "but
only because guld ha appreciated,"
to be equally false. It slows the
gold prices of 223 of the most impor
tant articles of daily use to have
declined 7.8 per cent, from ISfJO to
1191; while the decline, measured
in terms of labor," is very much
greater. In point of fact, there
should le no discussion of the tact of
their decline in absolute value,
bemuse every one knows that the
means of transtMirtnfion, have ren
dered it possible to produce them
cheaper. Now, to compare the
decline la the prices of commodities
since IsiX w ith the decline in ailver.
As statist above, they have declined
7.M per cent, since that year, while
ailver has decliinsl over 40 pr cent.
So thl refute- the assertion that
their prices and that of silvor have
remained relatively the same.
Hence it Ls cleur that gold has not
appreciated in value; and further
more, it follows that there Is enough
of it for the purre of businesM.
