South Bend, Indiana History s Spanish War By Dr. ALBERT SHAW, Editor ot the REVIEW OF REVIEWS, AND A LONG LIST OF NOTABLE CONTRIBUTORS. Over 1,200 Pages and 500 Valuable Illustrations. Three Beautiful Volumes in Half Moroc.co. See special offer at bottom of this advertisement. This Magnificent Edition for only ONE DOLLAR DOWN. To the readers of this paper we make the following proposition to become mem bers of the Review of Reviews History Club, and obtain the three volumes of Our War in Two Hemispheres, By ALBERT SHAW, Editor of the "American Monthly Review of Reviews " and author of “ Municipal Government in Great Britain," etc., and a number of prominent contributors. £ VERY American teacher possessing a library, and many that do not possess one, will be p interested in the announcement of the history of the late war with Spain, now published VJ by the Review of Reviews Company. Much of the narrative was written by Dr Albert Shaw during the actual.fighting of the summer. This has been revised and amplified by him in the light of the official reports and documents, which have only become available after hostilities ceased. A free quotation from the critical Congressional debates and other public utterances at crucial periods aids in making this work what it is, the standard reference history of this decisive and successful struggle. But it is much more than a lively and comprehensive narrative. Itgoes back to the years of struggle in Cuba which prepared the way for the war ■ it discusses energetically all problems which confronted the United States after the war as to the Philippines, Cuba, and Porto Rico; and as a whole it forms a broadly conceived picture of the year which has seen America brought face to face with new world duties. The important special and technical matters of the war period, generally dismissed by tho “'storian with only slight and often insufficient discussion, are fully and authentically dealt with in contributed chapters, written by men who had unusual opportunities for studying their subjects. Thus, the lessons which the war has for us as to the. relative efficiency of rifles and machine guns are tn a carefully written chapter by Lieut. John H. Parker, of the United States army; the military movements of the Santiago and Porto Rican campaigns are analyzed by the editor of the Army and Navy Journal: the battle with Cervera is described by the novelist, Minston Churchill, who is a graduate of theUnited StatesNava) Academy ; the actual condition of Cuba before the war and the facts which caused the war are described by eye-witnesses, Murat Halstead and Stephen Bonsai. The Illustration of the book is especially valuable In the hundreds of portraits, pictures of the navies, photographed scenes of the war, and the entertaining cartoons reproduced from the Spanish, French, German, and English papers, as well as from the American.

It is complicated with private Interests, party and political interests, which fend to obscure the fundamental points on Which the whole discussion must turn. “The pith of this matter as a scien- tifie question, and one of statesman ship in the broader sense, lies in the primary inquiry whether we accept or reject the quantitative theory of money and the general price level. “We accept it as we define and un derstand it, as absolutely axiomatic and decisive of the question before us. “It is unfortunate that our oppo nents do not agree among themselves as to whether they accept or reject it, or whether they accept it rn part or in any sense, or reject it altog -ther. “We undertake to say that no one ever did reject it who ever really com prehended its meaning and import as we define it. It relates solely to the general price level of all property, and not to the price of particular articles and their oscillations of ’rice under the influence of the special supply and demand for those particular articles. “An illustration here may illustrate: “If one-half of all the- waters of the seas should be absorbed into the rocks, as we are told it may one day be, no one can doubt that tho general sea level would fall, inevitably fall, how ever small oscillating waves might ap pear on its surface then. And if some Noah’s flood were to double the quan tity of the waters of the sea, can any one doubt that the general sea level would rise, inevitably rise, however some oscillattfc^aves might appear fluctuating above and below the new general sea level? “This might be called the quantita tive theory of sea water and of the general sea level. and the general price level is as simple “The quantitative theory of money as this when it is rightly understood. “How, then, do we define and un derstand it? “In this way: ‘The general price level of property, bought and sold, va ries with the whole quantity of money and its accepted substitutes that is in unhindered circulation in the commer- cial world, other things remaining equal. The general price level rises with more money and falls with less money. This includes all legal tender money and all its accepted substitutes that perform the functions of money in buying and selling property.’ “We hold, with Gen. Walker, “that this is money that does money’s work in trade. I add in ‘unhindered circu lation,’ for money hoarded, whether in war chests, treasury reserves or other wise, is as inert as gold is before it is mined. It is hindered in its circula tion. “ ‘Hindered circulation’ is one of the greatest of all the causes of money re duction and the fall of prices. The contraction of the money vol ume, by the suppression of silver coin age by great nations simultaneously, was one great cause of the fall of prices. “The shrinkage of the money vol ume and the fall of general prices began and has continued since, not be cause that shrinkage was at first great, but because it was certain to come, and was sure to increase with advanc ing time, till gold and its substitutes should be the only money, and the world should have ceased to grow End begun to decay. “Discerning business men, then real izing the coming fall in prices, with drew from business when they could and locked up their money. They de clined to put money into new enter prises not protected by legal or other monopoly. “The very tramp ceased to put into circulation money he did not earn and couldn’t get. He patriotically with drew from the mad scramble to hoard money and from adding to the miseries of overproduction! “But the great nations, anticipating sudden and destructive wars, guarded themselves by locking up large amounts of gold in great war chests and national reserves. “Now it is also from the aggregate of al these forms of hoarded money that the volume of money in use has de clined, and has in part caused the great fall in prices during the last twenty- five years—caused it altogether so far as it has been caused by scarce money. “I agree that abundance caused by new machinery and cheap transporta tion, etc.,may cause a fall in prices that is beneficent. But the fall of prices due to money made scarce by govern mental action is a wholly difeerent thing and is not beneficent, but is de structive of the interests of the people, is in violation of sound political econ omy as well as of the moral law. “But divide the quantity of added money and its accepted substitutes by two, and at the same time multiply by two the amount of the property and services to be bought -and sold, and you have a compound lever, operating to gether to depress the general level of prices. It depresses them below what it would have been under the impulse of either one of these influences acting alone, and greatly below what prices would have been with neither of them acting to depress them. “We claim that for the last twenty- five years there has been in the com- world just this state of affairs the amount of a.ncl n at the same time an actual decrease of the money supply. More property to be bought and sold by more people, and less money to do it with. “They must have more money or submit to lower prices. “But instead of providing more money the great commercial nations have reduced the natural volume of money by governmental action, by pro hibiting the creation of new money from silver. “The general price level has accord ingly fallen father than it would have done under either of these two influ ences acting alone. “We stand upon this axiomatic prin ciple that is plain as day and universal as gravitation. Even our opponents act upon this principle always, and seem only to deny it or to falter over it when an unwelcome fact or argu ment faces them in debate. “I cannot now argue the question from a consideration of the conse quences of the error originally fallen into and since ruinously persisted in. I would rest an argument for bi metallism—for the restoration of the free coinage of silver at the ratio now in use in this country——upon three separate and distict grounds: “I. First and foremost, on the solid ground of moral right; of simple jus tice between man and man; on the preservation of the equity of govern mental obligations and other time con tracts; on the support of civilization and a government based upon equality before the law. “2. On grounds of expediency; on what would be most conducive to the welfare and development of the people as a whole, particularly the wage- earners and those less qualified by na ture to defend themselves in the fierce contests of trade; and the just right of invested capital. “3. On the authority, concurrent and conclusive, of the great names of po litical economy in all countries before this question arose; on the immense preponderance of the voice of the peo ple to be affected by a monetary sys tem resting on one money made of two metals, or one money resting on gold alone.” What They Want. There is much lack of agreement amor the gold standard monetary ex perts, ho are filling the columns of the presu with their plans for “reform ing the currency.” They all want to perpetuate the gold standard, of course. They all want large issues of gold bonds, of course. They all want bank notes substitutes for United States notes, of course. But when it comes to the details by which they hope to bestow all of these luxuries (?) upon the people, and make our mone tary system entirely “sound/- they are decidedly out of harmony.—Rochester Times. Democratic Indorsement of Quay. Boston Herald: The chief—we might, indeed, without exaggeration say the only—recommendation of Quay to the Republicans in his skill in over coming the Democrats in party cam paigns. Nobody ever claimed that he was interested in the principles of tne Republican party any further than those principles applied to the enlist ing the capital of rich men in its sup port and obtaining from them cam paign contributions. Yet it is this man whose election Democratic senators have the Idiocy to tell the Democratic party is to divide the Republicans of Pennsylvania. Real Reform in the Army. A proper reorganization of the army is as much to be desired as the mere Increase of it. But the Hull-Hawley bill retains the present abominable staff system, and will perpetuate in definitely the evils attending what Senator Proctor calls the “scramble” of army officers to get on to the staff. Nothing else could be expected *rom a man like Adjutant General Corbin, who is the real author of this bill. He is a slick army politician who has risen by exactly the methods which the Vermont senator scores.—Spring- field Republican. The Taxpayer Pays the Freight. We “needed” the Hawaiian islands to "protect” the Nicaragua canal. We “need” the Nicaragua canal to give u*s quick access to our Hawaiian posses sions. We “need” the Philippines to make the Hawaiian islands available to us as a half-way station. We “need” a cable to connect us with our Hawaiian and Philippine possessions. We “need” an army and navy to take care of these distant possessions of ours.—Terre Haute Gazette. Cheaper In the Long Run. Louisville Courier - Journal: Of ourse, if the government builds a flant of its own, it will be at the ex penditure of several millions, and it nay not get the cheapest armor at :hat. It has had to pay for the Beth- shem and Carnegie plants anyhow,: md it has no rights over either. Un- ler the circumstances it might as well dd an armor plant to its ship yards nd other works and see what it can do. Officials Are at Fault. Columbus Press-Post: We enact nti-trust laws, both national and tate, and our highest courts pronounce gainst railway pools and combina- ions. But still these trusts, pools and ombinations go right on, and, except mly in very rare instances, no public official charged with the enforcement T these laws makes any attempt to enforce them.

VANITY FAIR. What will, in all probability, never “take” in France.is the aesthetic style of dress. Subdued tones and clinging draperies do not at all suit French women, whose piquant style requires toilettes of the dashing order, both as regards cut and color. In manipulat ing the latter almost every PaTisieune is herself an artist, depending not all upon the inspirations of the con- turiere. Even the work girls who troop out hatless and happy into the Rue de la Paix at the luncheon hour know exactly what color and how much of it is becoming to their particular style ot beauty. They are gowned in black, as a rule, and the color takes the form of a cunningly twisted necktie. A rib bon twisted twice round the neck and forming a sailor’s knot in front is the most popular form of neck adorn ment. Sometimes a “consui” collar of fine batiste is placed on the ribbon, when the effect is even more dainty. At last some signs are being shown that attempts are being made to im part a little novelty to social enter tainments. For the last year or more we have been woefully humdrum and such a thing as a craze or fad, foolish or otherwise, has been practically un known. Neither the girls nor the gilded youth, nor the young matrons have shown any disposition to anything of the kind until now, when there is, happily, an indi cation that wits are at work. In the first place an effort is being made to introduce what may be called illus trative dinners and no better time could have been chosen, as this season suggests all manner of ideas. An Egyptian dinner has already been suc cessfully given, and a “Dickens” din ner is mentioned as having been held. It is now for hostesses to exercise their Ingenuity in thinking out similar en tertainments. There is also a tenden cy to revive “color” balls, the guests being compelled to wear only certain colors which are also employed in the decoration of the ballroom and sup per table. This also gives scope for much ingenuity. Queen Victoria has recently pre sented to the British museum an auto graph letter written by the prince con sort to the late Ear! of Shaftesbury thanking him for a copy of the bible In Chinese prepared for the London Missionary society, and known as the delegates’ version, published at Shang hai and Hong-Kong, in 1855. The let ter is dated “Buckingham palace, April 13, 1856,” and is couched in the following words: “My Dear Lord Shaftesbury: I beg to return you my best thanks for the copy of the bible in Chinese, which has been the result of pious energy and perseverance of the London Missionary society. It will ma terially aid the spread of Christianity in that wonderful populous empire. Ever yours truly, Albert.” It was, it is understood, the queen’s wish that this letter should be preserved in the department of manuscripts in the Brit ish museum. The trustees have de cided, in order that the public may have an opportunity of obtaining a facsimile copy, that the letter shall be included in the fourth series of fac similes of autographs in the British museum, which is on the point of be ing issued. He Gets the Worst. “Eleanor, when we are married, will you love me well enough to cook for me?” “Yes, dear Henry; but you will have to hire somebody else to do my cooking.”-Detroit Free Press. Why She Refused tho Itox^a A German lady, arriving for the first ! time in England, drove to a first-class I London hotel, asked for a room, and was shown into a very small, scantily furnished one. She said, in a deter- mined manner, and in very broken i English: “I will not have this room.” I “No, ma’am,” said the porter, and ' brought in the first box. "Man!” re peated the lady, emphatically, “I will not have this room!” "No, ma’am,” said the porter, and brought in tho second box. The lady thought her faulty grammatical construction was the reason for the porter’s continued obstinacy, and repeated, with a stern distinctness: “Man, I will this room not have.” “No, ma’am,” said the porter and brought in the third box, whereupon the lady left the room in dignantly, but the porter drew her hurriedly back across the threshold, pulled a rope, and, to her intense as tonishment, the lift went up.—Tit- Bits Bad Blood Boils, Pustules, Ulcers, Pimples, Running Sores, Eczema, Scrofula, CURED BY BOTANIC BLOOD BALM (BAB.)
