I f We-cl p the following from the Philadelphia Ledger, because it con tains with the statement of facts a supplement of fancy for which there Un't a 'particle of foundation. , It says :, During the twelve nu rr.hs c nded June 30. 1,89(5, the exports ot s iver exceeded! the imports by J46 726.345 Tots tilver was exported as merchandise, aid its value was approximately. 53 cen s an oance. It was exported b cms; this country s a large prodcc:r ot silver and other countries were able to Duy it here to advantage, jus: as they buy wheat and cotton at d sewing machines and . ready made c oth n. When, by the passage of a free coinage cct. the United Slates Government proclaims to tbe world that it is ready to pay 100 cents an ounce for an unlimited amount of silver, the millions of cuices that have gone abroad will come hurrying DacK. togetner witn millions of ounces from other sourcesand eold will go out iu exchange for them. In a little while this country will be loaded up with sil ver and its gold will have gone abroad Then it will be a silver nation but how that will make it any hippier 'than it is at present is not exactly clear This silver was exported as mer chandise and sold in other countries just as wheat' cotton, sewing ma chines and ready made clothing are, and the "foreign buyers bought it here because jthts country is the greatest producer of silver' and they uuuiu Duy u cneaper nere than else l J i t - , . . . where. This is a statement of fact The buyers paid about 53 cents an ounca for it; another statement of fact; but why was this silver bullion, worth something over $47,000,000, shipped as metchandise, and sold at about half . what it' would have brought in 1873? In that year this same bullion would have been worth nearly $100,000,000. The answer Is that this silver was a money metal up to . ana was not sold as "merchandise, ; ss wheat, cotton, sewing machines or ready-made clothing." It was a coin metal theu and its value stood at the mint figure, which was $1 25 an ounce, When it was demonetized, when the mints of this and the demonetizing European countries., were closed against it, its best and most steady markets were cut off, it was reduced to the rank of a mere metal of com merce, and its price became depen dent upon the supply. As there was more produced than the arts required the price fell to a little over half what it was in 1873. It is not fair nor honest to attrib ute this to overproduction, for while it is true that there has been over production in this country resulting from the contracted market, there has not been overproduction com-, pared with previous years in the world at large, and with the increase in production there is not more pro duced now than there would be use for if it had access to the mints as it had previous to its demonetization. When the writer of the above par agraph asserts thauin the event of the passage of a free silver act, the . United States Government would . proclaim that! it was ready to pay 100 cents an ounce for an unlimited quantity of silver, all this silver would come hurrying back with mil lions ot ounces trom otner sources, and our gold would go to pay for it, he builds a man of straw to knock the stuffiing out of it. In the first place this Govern mentwoold not announce that it was ready to pay 100 cents an ounce for silver, nor 1 cent an ounce, for it would not be in the silver baying business either by the ounce or ton. It wrjuld simply. , announce that 1 a - person who brought silver of stand ard fineness to the mtnt could have it converted into coined dollars or get dollars for it if the mint had any dollars on Hand. : But why should this silver come back? It was shipped abroad not to hold and speculate upon but for use in the arts, or in the coinage of the silver using countries to which it was shipped. It was needed and used and therefore there is not the slight est probability if any of it ever com ing back. 'The result of the passage of a free coinage act will be that silver in this country will go up to the mint value, and that the people of other coun tries who have use for it will pay S129 an ounce for it instead of 53 cents. As this country is the great est producer of silver and now the largest exporter, the price would be fixed here and the silver producers of other countries would govern themselves accordingly. The price of silver would go up the world over, and there would be no reason to ship it from other countries to this country to have it coined be cause it would be worth as much in other countries as it would be in this. The fact that the coinage of silver continued in France after it had ceased in other countries kept ud the price, because ' it was worth the mint price . in France and the price in France governed the price in other coun tries. But France was not flooded with silver, and the price of silver did not s fall until coinage was stopped in France and It wasn't stopped there until France concluded she had all the money she needed. which is about twice as much per capita as we have now. With free coinage there willbe no rush of silver to this country, be cause there will be nothing to be gained by it and hence our gold will not go out to piy tor stiver brought in, nor will there be any flood of sil ver coined and dumped upon the country, for the increased and fixed value of silver will make it a collat eral which will command money at any time, and will be quite as availa ble and valuable in large enterprises where it is necessary to use or bor row much money as the coin itself. It will not be coined any more rap idly than t. can be absorbed by the business of the country, but it will be more valuable asa4asis upon which to command money, because it will have a stable value that will not depend upon market fluctuations as no. MINOR MENTION. The gold raiders continue to get in their work on the reserve which they have reduced nearly $10,000,000 un der the $100,000,000 mark. An effort will be made, in fact has been made, to chargethe raiding that is now going on to the Chicago plat form, but this will not do for the draining has been going on steadily ever since the reserve was replen ished by the 'ast sale of bonds. From April to July 1st about $30, 000,000 was withdrawn, and since July 1st $13,000,000. They cannft charge what was withdrawn before the meeting of the Chicago Conven tion to the platform v adopted, nor can they charee the S307.000.000 withdraw since March 4th, 1893, to the agitation of the silver question. I Thefact is that gold is a speculative metal, European governments and European banks are hoarding it, this creates a demand for it abroad, and this gives the speculators a chance to make something by shipping itj and they are doing it. It is simply a mat ter of business with them, and politi cal platforms have no more to do with it than they have in influencing the direction of the winds The as sertion is often and emphatically re iterated by the gold men that the en dorsement of free silver by the peo ple will put gold at a premium may have much to do with it, in stimula ting European purchases before the price goes up, and In stimulating withdrawals for hoarding in this country before the advance in price. Thts would be the logical effect of the contention of the gold men on those who hive confidence in their opinions, so thaUihey are contribu ting to the very thing theykdeprecate and profess to lear as the result of the success of free silver,-that is driving gold out of the country, and reducing us to the silver basis which they say woald be so disastrous! Bonds or no bonds will soon be the question, unless a stop can be put to the runs on thegold reserve, which is now nearly $10,000,000 be low the-mark. Our press dispatches report that the national banks will come to the relief of the Treasury by exchanging some of their surplus gold for greenbacks. They have done this before, but bonds were issued in due time all the same. They may ano probably will do so again, for they are interested at this time in preventing another issue of bonds, at least until after the next Presiden tial e!ectionrhe gentlemen who are fighting for the perpetuation of the gold standard, whether they oe bankers or not, are also very much . interested in this, toranother issue of , bonds would beaji object lesson that the free silver advocates would mane splendid use of in the next . cam paign. We, are now paying $9,000, 000 a year in interest on the money borrowed since March 4th, 1893, to keep up this gold reserve and sup ply speculators with gold to trade on, when we had the right under the law and in morals to redeem in silver every note redeemed in gold, and yet the gold redeeming has been going onv necessitating the borrowing of over $260,000,000 in addition to what was in the Treasary before the borrowing : began. How long are the people going to stand that thing? Where will be the end of it? How will they take another issue of bonds to fill up the hole? This is the question that perplexes tne Dona issuers, and this is the question that will bring the banks to the relief of the Treasury, if they come. Some of the Eastern so called Democratic papers which are kick lng against the Chicago platform and ticket, but can't swallow Mc Kinley just as he Is, are making des perate efforts to get him to say something that would give them a half decent pretext for. supporting him. They are afraid his desire to reward Mr. Mark Hanna for the services rendered in securing his nomination and to show his appre ciation of the liberal contributions by manufactqrers for the same pur pose, might induce him to favor some legislation friendly to silver to se cure the support of free silver Rep resentatives and Senators from the West in the passage ' of a higher tariff for the benefit of ,Mr. Hanna and his. contributors. ' Hence the New York Times makes the follow ing appeal to him : Why. then, should not Mr. McKinley go a little farther and dispel the doubts of many patriots by saying that if be should be elected he would oppose all legislation brought forward in the inter est of the silver policy, even it should be impossible to enact any revision of tbe tariff without making any conces sions to the silver group in the Senate This is an echo of similar appeals which we have seen in other gold standard so called Democratic pa pers, which have not the nerve to come out openly and boldly for Mr. McKinley as the .New York Sun, which now shines for him, and the Philadelphia Times have done. But so far there has been no response from Mr. McKinley and it is safe to predict that there will not be. The paragraph mm of the Fhila delphia Ledger, referring to the de mand of the Populists that the per capita circulation be increased by the Gonernment to $50, says: "Now, if they will just define the way in which each one is to get his $50, great many of us would be interested in the subject.'' The' alleged per capita circulation is now about $24. If the Ledger paragraph man will suggest a way by which each oneis to get his $24 a great many of us will not only be interested in the sub ject but will be much obliged to htm.

FOUNDING THE KONGO STATE. Explorer Stanley Telia In Brief the Story of the Great Enterprise; During my descent of tbe Kongo I had revolved over and over in my inind tho question of the destiny of the river. Seated at the prow of my boat, which led our flotilla, and daily watching the river dovoloping-Jtself, I was preoccu pied with these thoughts every leisure moment. There was, it seemed to me. no other power but , England that. could interest itself with this part of Africa, and, as I said, thore was not ; a single white man in possession of any portion of tbe equatorial belt except at the mouth of the Kongo, where a few trad era had gathered. But despite the nn merous addresses in England upon this subject I failed to awaken more than a geographical interest ; in equatorial Af rica. The terror of the African climate in general wna too strong upon every body. ; I Elsewhere, however, the reports of my addresses in tho English newspapers were taking effect. After uearlv nine months' busy life in I England the king of tho Belgians invited me to visit him. and I was then informed of his strong inclination to undertake for Africa what I had been so strenuously advisiug Eng lishmentodo. He was already president of the African International association. which was about to eot on foot aba mauitarian enterprise from the east coast, and he led mo to understand that if I were free from other engagements he would liko to employ me in opening the Kongo basin to European influence and civilization. j It was my opinion ' that the best way of setting about tho work was to con- b tract a light surface railway which should skirt the cataracts of tbe lower Kongo and then to launch steamers on tbe upper waiers, which I estimated wonld furnish about 0,000 miles of nav igation. V7c argued about this matter from August to December, 1878. The best Belgian engineers were consulted, but after tlrj inost elaborato calcula tions as . to cost it was finally decided that as tho expeaso would bo great we should content ourselves with making wagon roads past tho cataracts and build a series of niililaty statiens for the pro tection of caravans, and that tho annual expendilnro should not exceed $G0,000.

' "Americans, are said to be the best natnred people in the world, and it is also often said , that; they will put up with more inconvenience and discomfort without! "grumbling than the people of other countries. So spoke a prominent hotel, proprietor ona evening last week. He went on : I do not wish to contra dict these broad statements only so far they relate to our people and our hotels. We have by far the best hotels in the world, and this is no idle, Fourth of Julyj boast, and yet of all the people on earth our own are the greatest grum blers arid the most exacting after they have placed their names on a hotel reg ister. I - "To say that they simply want the earth is sometimes putting it mildly. -They want not only that, but want a roof garden on top of it which will per mit them to grab the moon, xney want the best of rooms, food and drink, baths in every room, electric bells, speaking tubes, stationery and an amount of wait ing on 1 that; to satisfy some of them would- 'necessitate providing a 'front for about every guest "And, then, if this is all made satis factory,! and there is nothing else to kick about, they ; kick about the charges. Now, one often hears comparisons made betweeri this country and Europe, to the decided! detriment of the United States. If anything goes wrong, it is immedi ately said that such a state of affairs would not be tolerated in Europe. But one will notice that unfavorable com parisons made between our hotels and those, abroad are generally made by Americans who have never visited En rope. Europeans know better. We have the best hotels in the world, and those of London, Paris or Berlin are not to be compared with them. Enlightened for eigners will generally readily admit this themselves. I Just now every guest we have wants a private bathroom, and no matter how full the house is feels ag grieved! if it cannot be had. There is a man staying in the house who recently returned from Paris. While there he staid at the best or at least the highest priced hotel in the city. But no matter what he was willing to pay he could not get a private bath. He could not even get a bath on the same floor with his suit) of rooms, but had to go down stairs to the hotel's public baths. "Then, again, much has been said about the cost of living in this country compared with that abroad. The truth is, good living costs more in Xondon and Paris than it does in New York. Of Course I speak of the comparative prices of the j really first class hotels and res taurants. I ' like to see' our people go abroad,! as when they get home they are, as !a rule, far better satisfied with their own country than they were be fore, arid especially with our hotels and modes of traveling." New York Trib une. The Lost of the Garrison. In tho! course of the giant strugglo be fore Metz, a handful of chasseurs flung themselves into a small red roofed farm- house, determined to sell their lives They barricaded the ground dearly. floor as strongly as they were able, and from the upper story opened firo on their assailants. For nearly two hours the Prussians were kept at bay. The storm of rifle bullets riddled tho roof and up per wails, and finally, one by one, the chass'epots were silenced. Conclueling that tho ammunition of the little strong hold had at length been exhausted, and prepared for a savage hand to hand tussle-with the garrison, the Prussians burst through the barricade and effected an entrance. To tfaeir amazement the ground floor was unoccupied save for a little girl of 6, who looked up into their faces with a smile of happy unconcern. She had been playing with her doll, and evident ly thought that the heavy firing had been an odd new game which the "grown ups" had been having especial ly for her amusement. As tho big blue eyed sergeant caught her up in his arms and kissed her, she asked, with on air of disappointment, why thoy had stop ped the pretty "boom boom. " Through the terrible death wrestle of two might7 nations this happy little housemother had been pleasantly absorbed in family cares. The wrath of kings, the savagery of ancient race hatreds, were things she could, not understand, even the hurri cane of fire and lead had seemed to her but such strango elemental music as the wren in its nest hears when a thunder showori sweeps over tho woodland. A ladder led to the upper floor of the farmhouse, and when the conquerors as scended they found among the wreckage of shattered roof and crumbling walls the rest of .the garrison no more than nine inj all lying dead. Beside them lay the mother of the child, with a chassopot still clutched in her hand. Qood Words. Rossini's Memory. Rossini's memory was lacking in ro tentiveuess,! especially in respect to the names pf persons who had been intro duced jto him. This forgetfulness was frequently a causo of amusement when ever Rossini was among company. One day he met Bishop, the English com poser. Rossini knew the face well enough, and at once greeted him. "Ah, iny dear Mr." but the name es caped his memory, and to convince him that he had not forgotten him Rossini began jvhistling Bishop's glee, "When tho Wind Blows," a compliment which "the English Mozart," as Bishop had been dubbed,; recognized qui to as readily as if hjs ecclesiastical surname had been mentioned. ; lime, Ro8tow8ka. .
