ee | ~ & (Conggued from Fourth AN ABLE ARGUMENT tremely than he had previously done ‘nce his apostosy. He boldly takes the Stand logically demanded by con- Sistency in the man who opposes sil- Ver coinage and denies the arguments ba seh on the appreciation of gold. He comes out squarely for the gold Standard and places bimetallism of “ny and all sorts under a common ban. But alas! what a sorry appear- ance he makes. Nowhere in our po- litical history doI find quite so pa- thetic a figure as that presented by this once strong and virile champion of the people’s rights in his contrast- ed role of defender of their oppre! ors. Where now is that compact and Cogent argument, that sincere and moving eloquence, which made _ his forensic style so singularly effective; Whick marked him the parliamentary darling of his party, a predestined president of the republic? Shrunken to the dreary platitudes of the gold- Standard catechism, babbling of und currency” and “intrinsic value.” This talk of intrinsic valne was not contined to Mr. Carlisle. Mr, Patter- Son, of Tennessee, and Senator Caff- ery, of Louisiana, were likewise guilty of it. Itis, indeed, the characteris- jac folly of their school. Having de- Stroyed the money demand for silver while adding almost incalculably to that for gold, they have caused an in- creasing disparity in the values of the two metals; and now, when it is sought to restore the parity by restor- ing the equivalence of use and de- mand on which alone it depends, they pretend to have discovered some in- herent perfection in gold and an ori- ginalsinin silver which fcrbid all attempts toreconcile them. In the face of monetary principles whose na- ture has been understood for more than two thousand years, and of his- toric and economic facts which every college freshman knows, Mr. Carlisle has the appalling audacity to use the tollowing language: “Natural causes have separated the two metals, and while it. is possible that natural. cau- sés may hereafter change their pre- sent relations to each other, it is cer- lain that these relations cannot be changed by artificial means.” It is difficult to speak with becom- ing moderation of such stuff as this: and itis really pathetic to see the domitant opinion of whole sections of the country taking its cue from men who assume superior airs and rebuke the presumption of thinking on the part of some millions of Americans, they peddle such insufferable nop. gas this just quoted from Mr. Carli ¢ “Natural causes” indeed, when we can turn to the statute books of balf the world and put our fingers on the “artificial means” whereby the horders of gold have le- ggislated demandinto one metal and legislated it out of the other. Let once a wrong be achieved by artifi- cial means, and instantly those who profit by it represent it as the inevit- able decree of evvulutional forces. “Natural causes,” we are asked to be- lieve, have made gold dear and silver cheap during a period when the cost of producing gold has been cheapened more than any other mechanical pro- cess; when both metals have con- tinued on substantially their old rel- ative planes of use in every respect save as money; when their relative production has been from three to twenty times less disproportionate than at any other similiar period in the past .four hundred years; and when in actual weight the stocks of coingind bullion available for coinage have risen from a proportien of thir- ty-two of silver to one of gold up to that of sixteen of silver to one of gold coincidentally with a fall of the so-called market ratio from fifteen and-one-half to one, when the mints Were open to both, down to thirty: three to one when only the one can be freely coined. It is simply an in- credible and impossible proposition. Intrinsic value is as unthinkable as intrinsic distance. Both distance and value are relations. Neither can exist or be stated except by compari- sen. The value of a thing is what it is wort! nd it is worth what it will | -bring. “Value in exchange is the only yalue that political econémy knows anything about; and what a given thing will exchange fur depends on the rMio of the Supply of it to the de- mand forit. A piece of money is worth what it will buy. Other things | remaining the same it will buy more wheo the stuff o: t of woich it is made Jentiful, and «ss wh” that is “scarce. The proposit.cn of. the bi- > metallisis rests on only t.me-aonored * doctrines of political economy as jus- tified by the experience of mankind. We desire to reStore the parity of gold and silver by ‘‘nat@Mal causes” set in operation by ‘‘artificial means.” We propose to invoke the law to} equalize their opportunity and to make them interchangeably and in- differently responsive to the same money demand. Space has not permitted reference to all the errors committed at this wonderful banquet, nor a complete 4 have endeavored only to pointout the {most glaring ones in the hop2 that some persons inclined to accept, seme- | what carelessly, the assumedly au- thoritative statements of these em- inent men, may be Jed to study this great subject whose under- standing and wise management are of such vast importance not only in American polities but in the progress of the race. For the cause of bi- metallism must commend itself to the intellect and the conscience of | the country or it cannot win. Those | who e spent some time in an | earnest and thoughtful investigation | of Uhe matter and are convinced that the success of silver coinage is the first step in a series of rational, safe and necessary reforms, are ready to | be judged as much by the reasonable- ness of their doctrines as by the sip- verity of their motives. They intend frow pow on to force the fight. ‘The enemy will be sought out andassailed wherever found. No pretentious claims of infallibility will be accord- ed immunity from criticism. No authority will be permitted toshelter folly. Itis time to expose the pre- posterous assurance of the gold- standard pundits. Nonsense will he called nonsense whoever utters it, and, what is more, it will be proved to he nonsense.

The beauty of the Greeks has been greatly praised, and I was much disap- pointed at Athens; but the Greeks of the lonian Islands are of a purer race. and one sometimes comes across a very beautiful face. There was a village on the island famed for the beauty of the women. I drove over and saw some very handsome, tall women, with the low, classic brow, and often with blue eyes. They wore their hair plaited with ribbons and twined around the head like a coronet. I was amazed to see such luxuriant hair, but was told that it was probably mixed with their moth- ers’ and grandmothers’ hair. Leighton’s idea that the Greeks were originally fair was correct. for I saw several fair-haired women. My maid Marguerite had the most lovely gold- en hair anu blue eyes; she was tall and statuesque. Her sister Puterpe was no less handsome, but dark.—Cathvlic World. ‘ The Cause of the Row. Gibbs—How did siurers come to hit you?

Yerreuts of Ses Water Uave Gune Tivo fc im Years Pasi. One 1s reminded of the pretty fabie about Arethusa and Alpheus by a curi ous story im the cvarrent auamber «i Cassier’s Magazine, Bui in the anciert narrative it was a fresh water river ia to which the pursuing lover « changed, and the fountaia which r yesents the metatnorphosed nymph 1 been idextined; while in iké less ro- mantic tale now told a salt water stream disappears into a bole in the ground, ami al] the rest is a profund faystery, says the New York Tribune. On the coasi of the Greek island of Cephalonia, near the town of Arges- toli, there ave two little flumes, or ca- nals, leading inland from the sea to the distance of about 100 feet, and then discharging their contents into rudely excavated pits, through whose nadly fissured, rocky bottoms the wat- er immediately loses itself. At least @s long ago as 1835 a mill was run by power from one of these flumes, and # second mill was built beside and op- crated by the other a little while atter- ward. The mills themselves are now iu ruins, but the‘tiow continues, This remarkable te of things has existed for over sixty years, and very likely fer a centu One cannot help asking i) amazement where all that water gces to. The Messrs. Crosby, who fur- nish the account which Cassier’s prints, estimates that the flow in each channel umounts to 1,000 cubic tcet per minute, or 3,000,000 cuvic feet per day in both, ‘'wo smaller passages of a similar character have been observed in the Salve neighborhood; and it is added that along the shore, “at all peints be- tween the two mills, and for an un- koown distance beyond each, the wat- er is everywher ercolating through cracks and fissures ‘of the lime- stone ana sinking into the eurth, The openiggs in the sea bottom are no doubt mainis Josed by weeds and gravel, yet no jn- considerable amount of water must its way to these mysterious depths through such ap extent of beach, lying vu a@rock that is practically as porcus us a Sieve, + *- * It is difficult to Which is the greater marvel. the sea mills themselves ihat they have remained practically unknown to the scientific world up te he present day, although described by several authors, mentioned in the guide uOoks, and visited by adinirals, , bishops and distinguished civic decide gen- lmost the only explanation hither- io offered assumes that evaporation »vés OL rapidly in some subterranean cavern and thus disposes of the water. But as it is admitted that the remain ing salt from the two mill streams alone would amount to 48,600 cubic iect a year it is hard to understand why the subterranean cavern, if there ve one, does not fill up. The Messrs Crosby vtler a different hypothe ‘They ask the reader to imagine two great fissures descending into the earth and meeting below like the sides of a letter V or U. Then they suggest that perhaps one arm is shorter than ibe other and that there is a leng,very gently rising passage leading from the bottom of one to the bottom of the oth- er, so that the subter:anean heat can- get a good chance to act on any stream passing through it. It then becomes easy to suppose that a co!d current of bea Water tues down through one branch of the system and is forced up- ward through the cther by thermal in- fluences. The rocky isla-d of Cepha- lonia, like some of its neighbors, be- trays the effect of earthquakes innum- erable in times past, abounding in frac- tures and faults, caverns and subter- ranean rivers. None of the spring on Cephalonia contains any large quanti- ty of salt, however, and it is difficult to regard any of them as the overflow of the flood which disappears at Argos- toli. But it is possible that, as Al- pheus is said to have done, it takes a dive beneath the sea and comes up on some far-off island. The Plucking of Fowls. The Australian method of plucking fowls possesses the advantages of be- ing rapid and easy. As soon as the birds are dead, plunge each in turn gnto @ pail of boiling waiter, into which one | and a half pint ot cold water has been thrown (the object is just to scald them), taking care that the’ water reaches every part of the feathers. One minute’s sousing is generally sufficient; if kept in too long, the skin is apt to discolor, and, if not long enough, the feathers will not easily draw. Every feather can now be stripped off in the easiest possible manner—in fact, they can almost be brushed off. The skin never tears, and the insects that infest all chickens will have disappeared. When clear, pump on the birds to rinse off the wet feathers thet still adhere, wipe tenderly with # soft cloth, and hang up to dry witb a clsth fastened loosely round. TWis is to keep them from the air and preserve them white. By this means all the feather stumps are perfectly removed. Ducks cannot be treated in the same manner, as the oil in the feathers prevents the water from penetrating. NOTICE! United States Land Office, Duluth, Minn., July 28, 1897.
