Robert Barclay of London, author of “The Silver Question and the ,;Gold Question,” and other works, writes as follows to the Mississippi Valley Dem ocrat: ..-: It has been claimed that because- Great Britain is a “creditor country”' it pays her to receive interest on in vestments in depreciated goods—for this is precisely what the single stand-, a,rd means, and was intended to ac complish. The immoral selfishness of tins; argument is so apparent that I wonder it should ever have been broached. For those who can see, it is as stupid as it is immoral; as dis astrous in the long run as it is dis honest in principle. To avail yourself of previously unforeseen contingencies to get more than twice as much out of a bargain as either you or the other party ever, intended, is to invite a repudiation of the bargain by the vic tim of the. unforeseen accident. The situation is not as if you had bought shares, for example, that go up in value; that is your hick. But a revolu tion in the standard of value puts a new complexion on, every bargain, out side its own merits,' as such. That is where the shame of clinging to the original bargain conies in. If A, who is a money lender, and has influence with the government, lend B, a farmer, £200 to be repaid in wheat, and the price of wheat at the time is 5 shillings per bushel, there is a moral obligation and tacit agreement be tween the parties that when B shall have delivered to A about 800 bushels of wheat, in addition to the interest, his debt shall be discharged. If mean while the price of wheat should vary • from natural causes, such as increased or lessened demand, greater or smaller production, etc., there would be no im morality in either party taking advan tage of the situation, because it would be the result of natural causes in which the opportunities of the two parties would be equal. But if, on the other hand; A should exert his influ ence with the government to have the standard of valuation so changed by artificial processes as to require B to • deliver 1,600 bushels in payment of his debt, the traj^g^tionjaifijiii^gr immor al and dishonest. This supposable case represents precisely what has been done in all gold-standard countries by the demonetization of silver. The bushel measure has been doubled iu size, with no corresponding benefit to the farmer.. It is a money lender’s trick, .and ought to be regarded with horror by all honest people. But even in a “creditor country” like Great Britain this system of legalized robbery benefits no one except the money lender. Let any one ride through the county of Suffolk, or any of cur rich agricultural sections, and he will quickly realize the depressing effects of -the single standard. He'will see farmhouses and cottages derelict, and fertile land gone absolutely to waste. It could hardly be worse if the people were banished from, these dis tricts and the land thrown out of cul tivation. And yet ;the population of our island is constantly increasing, and, under natural conditions, the pro ducers of food ought to, and would, re- .ceiv'e proportionately higher prices. We "easily remember the halcyon days -when the whole of Lincolnshire was almost like a garden; when the great er part of the county was cultivated, the farmers were flourishing, the land lords lived in their own homes, and every laborer was employed and re ceiving good wages. That happy state of things continued ’without intermis sion until" the effects >of The. general demonetization, of one-half of the world's basic money in 1873 began to be^felt; then the decline of prices .set is, and it has continued to increase in disastrous results ever since. For twenty-five years other' nations k have■ been struggling to reach a gold stand ard; with a gold currency, and, the end has, not ’been attained. The ■'’results' have Tieeri equally , as disastrous to them as with us—possibly more^ so, be- CSus'e our position as a “creditor na tion” has been somewhat to our ad vantage by' making money more plen tiful- among those-- who /were already, well supplied. ... . .- : Tire ^depression of English agricul- t\i;ral t ':in.terests:’ has seriously affected .other’‘enterprises.'

V It .is vaifl’to; imagine that because we- • The- president, who swore he never, -would consent, has at least consented to something less than an increase .of the standing army to 100,000 men. He has, in fact, consented to something not very different from the Cockrell bill, which was tendered to him some time -ago as a sort of Democratic ulti matum. The 'bill agreed upon provides that the regular army.may be kept up to the maximum of'- 62,000 men now authorized by-law until July 1,1901, or; for about two years and four months from the present time. It also authorizes the president to raise 35,000 men.for volunteer service if necessary to serve for the same length of time if not sooner - discharged. These addi tional troops may he raised either at home’ or in the subject provinces in the discretion of the president, but they are to .serve only in the provinces. Unless otherwise' ordered by congress in ths meantime,; the army will be re duced to 27,0G0; men;. July 1, 1901. When Mr. ^Kinley returned to Washington after, communing with the Home Market Club’in. Boston he was very stiff on the army question. He told a body of Republican leaders of the two houses who called to see him on the subject that he deemed it their- duty to hold out for a standing army of 100,000, and that he would much rather call the new congress together in extra session than accept anything less. What has happened to bring about so great a change of mind, amounting almost to a complete surrender to the Democrats? It is explained that party leaders have been laboring with him and have succeeded in convincing him that it would be dangerous to convene the new congress in extra session. They have convinced him that it would be dangerous because the new congress would make haste to vote away ' many millions of money for shipping boun ties, canal digging and other purposes and make it evident to the country that, so far from reducing the war axes, ’ it -would be necessary to in crease them or else issue more bonds to get the. money needed for the exe cution of the various numbers on the imperial program. The shrewd republican politicians are alarmed at the prospect. They UiLn^ jj.««»ul d—he-^ieastio-isr-te- the- party to have it discovered by the peor ple before the next presidential elec tion that the new departure is going to fasten more than the so-called war taxes upon them as a permanent bur den. Accordingly we are told by the correspondent of an imperialistic pa per that “permanent reorganization of the army will be provided for by the next congress, but it is quite possi ble that it will be deferred until the second session, so that it will not be come a campaign issue.” Royals 4Bsewmr pure Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

William Stanton Slocum, of Boston, says that the first solid-headed pin made, either in Europe or America, was made by Samuel Slocum, who was born in Richmond, R. I., in 1792. and died in Pawtucket in 1861. In 1830, Mr. W. S. Slocum says, Samuel Slocum was in the Isle of Wight, and there .invented a machine to make board nails, which up to that tima were made by hand. The idea came blessing in hot weather, and all fin- t 0 him that pins,, which then were ’shed, they cost no more than good cot ton ones. made by winding a fine wire on the head and fastening it to the post of The styles of last year will not be ■ the pin, might be made in an improved out of date when shirt waist weather * manner on a principle similar to that comes in.
