Countries, like individuals, seldom bite off their noses to spite their faces.

There is no country on earth that is less dependent upon the products of other countries than the United States. We could prosper if we neither sold nor bought a dollar's worth of anything outside our own boundries. The New York preachers are now hammering Moody, the evangelist, well, Moody can stand it if they can. Even if Dave Hill and Grover Cleveland should pool their issues they would not command a corporal's guard of followers, "When Speaker Reed has anything to say he will not choose a democratic paper for his mouth piece he is not built that way. Not being able to legitimately criticise any act of the admistration, the opposition papers are exercising their ingenuity in manufacturing predictions of future trouble for President McKinley.

The adage "Where there is smoke there is fire," has been exemplified by a $2,000,000 conflagration in Pittsburg, New Yorkers have not seen the air ship, but a reporter says he saw it raining snakes last Snndav. Well, we have had some strikes in this country but the strike 'of grave diggers in France, reported recently by cable, is a little ahead of anything in that line we have had. Present indications are that many democrats will be disappointed in their expectation of holding on to fat offices by reason of Mr. Cleveland's partisan extensions of the the civil service rules. May be it pays that bicycle firm to pay for inserting in the papers letters signed "Robt, Fitzs'mmons" praising their wheel, but we have our doubts.

It now transpires that Jos. B. Doe of who was Assistant Secre-retrry of War under the Cleveland aaministration, had difficulty in distinguishing the difference between government property and his own, and that he only ecscaped being dismissed in disgrace because Secretary Lamont wished to avoid a scandal. Congressman Corliss, of left nobody in doubt of his position when he declared the present civil service law to be "a most obnoxious and arbitrary restriction of human liberty." If the Japanese have the wisdom they are credited with thev will not provoke Uncle. Sam by monkeying with Hawaii.

Wells. Tlirce Facts. 1. The money supply of this country and of the world at large is not contracting, but increasicg rapidly. 2.

The low price of farm products is caused by increased production, not by contraction of tflie currency. 3. Free coinage of silver would not improve the jonddtion of anyone 'and would be the clause of great hardships and privations bo the wage-earning classes and all persons of pmall means. in a. TSevr Light.

Now that Japan is on the brink of placing her currency on the exclusive gold basis, we presume that we shall no longer be worried with fearful visions of her growing industrial supremacy; which was alleged to be due to the silver standard. It was affirmed that whatever goods Japan sold in this country, being paid for in gold, practically doubled the seller's income when the proceeds were converted into silver. And this tremendous advantage the Japanese now relinquish. Our Own Experience. In this country since 18G5 the.
