(Concluded )
A Nation’s Prosperity Defined.
What is prosperity for a uatiou?
It is to have all its people at work.
I When all the people are at work, the
‘ nation is adding to its wealth all that
is possible in its day and generation
New invention« might have made it
more, but for each year the labor of
each nation is the sum of that year’s
creation of wealth
What make« men work?
Their own mental condition, In th*
old savage state when the man made
up hia mind to work he could go into
the forest, and, by the xtream alone and
his wigwam, had fish and flesh and
fowl and blankets and scalps and other
necessaries of life, but modern life is
not ro simple, Civilization is compii
cated beyond all hope of unraveling
For the moat port, all you can do is to
let it unravel it is a knot which must
untie itself No sword, even of Alexan
der, can cut it
All modern making of things requires
the union of many men The proapenty
of modern society demands a siinulta
neous action of all Wheu that comes,
everything cornea After a great smash
like that of 1893 or that of 1873 there
is nothing to do but wait and let the
business of the world settle itself, care
fully keeping meanwhile the medicine
men of finance, with their feathers and
rattles, out of the way of the sick man.
When public confidence is profoundly
shaken, it must re-establish itself. It
has been shaken by causes, and those
causes must be removed.
Men and nations and the whole civ
ilized part of the race go from one ex
treme to auotln r
These alternations
seem as necessary as the ebb and flow
of the tides of the (Kean. When the
business of the world gets inflated at
certain peritxis, it will go too far. and
then there must l>e a settlement It
must be settled who owns the property,
and until that is established nothing
else can be done. Those who nominally
own property resist this. They hope
acme minMdo will help Then alt* r m t
Moment it any laws be deemed nece a
ry they must be (Missed or there will I m
further delay Some fals»» starts may lx’
taken, like that to which the Venezue
lan war cloud gave such a chilling frost
Th« Return off Prosperity.
But, finally, when all things are
ready, something always happtms which
develops the fact that confidence has re
turued, and, lo, the whole world hus n
different aspect, Wheels begin to turn,
freight begins to move, commerce re
■nines her full sway, one by one eiu h
employment takes up its inarch and the
nation as a whole g<x‘s to work again,
urged on by the never dying yearning
for the increase of wealth to be con-
hu cd for pleasure or wealth to txi
boarded for reproduction Until the
time comes all stand fearful on the
brink When it will come, no one can
tell beforehand, but that it will finally
come every wise man knows.
Has it come now? Is it close upon us?
It is always unwise to prophesy about
th»j immediate future, for it may be re
membered against you if yon go wrong,
and as you are only mortal the chances
of being right ar»: against you It is
better to prophesy about things to hap
pen in 100 years, or preferably in 1,000,
for then if you go wrong you are all
d»*ad and di«tributed.
Nevertheless all the symptoms of
prosperity or»i here Men are willing to
lend money, and Hensible men are will
ing to take it and risk it in new enter
prises In a word, it looks like 1879
Another encouraging symptom is that
tbe financial medicine men are now ex
plaining in a low Cone of voice why what
they said iu such loud Pines last year
was not Ro This is the prelude to the
utter silence which will fall upon them
in due time, a Milenca which will tie the
signal tliat the world han nettled one
other financial problem in tbe only way
it can be n»*ttl»*d. and that is in the
minds of the people.
A good many questions have b^n net
tled thene last few years In all the de
bates in the house this past session there
was but one man who even mentioned
the “consumer,” and he was from Ken
tucky In other years, if you could be
lieve our debateo, we had 110 population
except “consum» rM ’’ Producers »lid not
^xist Not a w«ird did we have in the
debates of this y» ar about the need of
low prices We already had them, and
mouths which u*d U> start the echo*«
in aild longings for low pnceo were
devising plans fur raising prices and
acted as if they had never helped on
what Mr Thomas < arlyle used to call
“the car»*r of cheap and nasty
The Rise In tlis Prln« off Wheat.
At this moment th»-ne blind lead»*!*»
of the blind are explaining why the
rise in wheat is no help b» farmer«. It
is only an accident, they «ay—prx<
crop« el«ewbere, and
we sell at a
pr»fit. that is all You will be no M-
t*-r off in the end, for such accidmts
annot happen in the future. You will
have tn pay high pn?*»si fjr what y^m
buy, and to yon will lie tn the «ame
■a?** in anotlMr year aa you were year
before last
What idle talk this is! The returns
from
wheat crop and the other ce-
reals spent in pur< bases start the na
tion U j work, When the nation once
gets U> work, it will not stop until it
gets out of g*-ar again, and then it will
halt, and th»« it will g'» on again, a
1 «normalon of like «vents forever and
tower
Th*w eminent g»*n*l<Tnen might as
well say to the pend alum uf a wound
up clock just start»«! “You had better
give up thia weary ) <b You were Mart
*d with a push, and nobody is going to
sit up nighta to keep ou pushing you
Every historic period of revival has
been like this. Some eveuc at the npe
moment happen«, like the resumption
of specie payments, the setting of mon
ey in motion by reduction of the interest
an part of the national debt, the pas
sage of a tariff bill which, rightly r
wrougly, the people believed m Hu
nuui nature and human affairs, made
ready for the change, have always done
the rest
This talk of these gentlemen about
prices and accidents and tins recrumua
tiou about dead and buried «¡xnx-hea
show them to be still groping about
among the underbrush, while sensible
men ant standing on the mountain top
and beholding the earth to the very ho
rizon's edge The view may not I m » of
tlie whole round earth, but it is better
than the view from the jungle

Dogu That Can Tell the Time.
“The Street Dogs of Constantinople'
is the title of au article in St Nicholas
by Oswald Garrisou Villard Mr Vil
lard says:
The instinct which enables these poor
tramps to tell time is the most astonish
ing thing about these doga I mean their
being on hand day after day at regular
hours when the scraps are thrown out
and their never being much too early oi
too late The superintendent of one oi
the great railway lines ending in Con
stantinople told me the most remark
able case of this I have yet heard The
Oriental express, the famous train from
Paris to Constantinople, arrives, it
seems, three times a week at a certain
hour in the aftvruoon When the tram
comes m, there are always many dogs
ready to reoeive it Before the passim
gers have had time to get out the dogs
jump into the carriages and search ev
erywhere under the seats and in the
corners for the scraps of luncheon left
by the passengers, and wheu they haw
found all the pieces they go away The
remarkable thing is that they uever
come nt any time except when the Ori
ental express is due, that they never
make a mistake tn the day and always
remember that between Friday and Mon
day there art» two days and uot one
They pay no attention to local trains
because little or no food is left in them,
owing to the short rides the passengers
take. Eact ly this same knowledge of
the time table and of the difference lx*
tween hx’al and long distance trains has
been noticed at the station of the Asiat
ic railways in Scutari, across the Bos
porus

A largo jMirt of this money cornea

but more of it is being vxixirUxL If we
hiul enough money iu this country, an
increase in the volume would be an in

If an increast* in th*' volume of
money, secured by the exportation of
higher wh»*at. gives cause for rejoicing,
is it not evidence that we now have an
insufficient quantity?
If the farmers are constantly remind
ed of the large increase in the value of
this year’s crop, will they not lx* able
to calculate their low the more easily
wluui wh*‘Ht goes down?
Is it not possible that the pleasure
experienced from the rise in wheat will
lead farmers to desire an iucrease in the
price of other farm pnxlucts? When they
learn the advantages of rvstor*«d prvex.
will they uot s«'*‘k some more durable
’ means ot sustaining prices than a
drought or a famine? Tlie department
oflicial has also contributed to our cause
by emphasizing the Ix'iiefltH received by
oth«T industries from the fanner's pro«
peruy
(J not cm McKinley,
The president during the last cam
paign gave utterance to a very effective
phrase when he suggested the ojM'inng
of the mills insten*I of the mints, but
he was answenxl by the statement that
the mills would open when the p<*opie
were able to buy the products of the
mills When a government official |xnnts
out the advantages accruing to the
country from the fact that the fanners
have several bun»lr*‘<l million« of addi
tional money to spend in paying debts
and buying luerchandiae, he strengthens
the position taken by bimetallist«
If the rise in wheut will enable the
fanners to pay their interest more
promptly and have money left to bnv
merelmiKlise, how much great» r would
be the general Ix neflt if the rise extend
ed to all agricultural products?
Politic*! KflTcct of the lilac.
In calculating the political effect of
a rise in w heat it must lx* remembered
that many fanners were threatened with
fortxdo.sure «luring th«* last campaign
and that a considerable part of the
money received for wheat will 1** em
ployed in paying off mortgages Thus
intimidation will lx* somewhat restrirt-
ed, but the demand for merchandise
will be less than it would txi under or
di nary circumutance* The nssons giv
en above for Ixdieving that bimetallists
will find <*neourag«nicnt rath«*r than
discouragement in present conditions
are the same which have been given by
other lulvtwate« of bimetallism. Those
who advocate fr«x¡> coinage may be
wrong, but th«*y agree u¡x>n the princi-
pl»»« which underlie the money quo«
tion, and tL»*yurenot likely to lx* fright

which enforce th«*ir argumenta
The law of Nupply and demand ex
plains the fall in silver as well as the
rise in wheat To what extent th»» fall
in silver may have I»» « n accelerated by
«¡wculation in silver bullion I cannot
say It wochl lx* |xMsibh* for the Ixnrs
to run the pnce of xilvi r down to some
extent, just as th»*y «<»m»-time« lower

ts'cauae both the demand and supply
ar»’ more limited than th»’ d»*mand for

Th« fact that silver and wheat have

to th<»c.i who luideratand that the law

bituetallistt that the opeuiug of our
mints to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 will fix
a mint price for silver, just as a mint
price is now fixed for gold They fur
ther contend that the detvand thus
creatwl by law will bo sufficient to
utilise all th« silver present id. and thux
the bullion value will be raided to the
coinage value.
Some of our opponents have insisted
that silver at fl.29 an ounce would
make the silver dollar as bard to obtain
as the gold dollar is now, but they ig
nore the fact that au increased volume
of standard money will lessen the pur
chasing power of a dollar, whether it

prices to the bimetallic level
