A Hand's Mysterious Imprint. In one of the cells of the Carbon County (I\a.) jail there is an imprint of a hand to which a strange story attaches. In 1877 Alexander Campbell, one of the Mollie Maguires, was confined In this cell. He strongly protested his innocence of a murder, of which he was convicted, and the night before his execution, placing his left hand upon the wall, he said that if he were innocent the impression of Ids hand would permanently remain upon the wall. Although 19 years have since elapsed the imprint remains. Several times the wall has been whitewashed, but before the lime Is dry the impression reappears with startling distinctiveness.

1 am one of these who does not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic, inasmuch as it is calculated to raise arouud au administration a moneyed aristocrat cy, dangerous to the libertieß|of the country.”—Andrew Jackson.

Government receipts for June were nearly $2,500,000 above expenses, and the deficit for the year ending with June was but $26,042,* 000. The preceding year it was $46,558,909, and during the last year of the McKinlev law the shortage amounted to $72,325,448, This satisfactory inciease in governmental receipts, following as it does a severe panic, is in striking contrast with the experience after the depression of 1873, when for five years there was a large de . crease in therevtuues.

Fiona the formation of our gov« ernmerit until 1873, tbs United JJtates maintained the double standard of silver android as primary money and the free coinage of ntd* ther rnetal was prohibited. The Republican party struck silver down as primary money and since then the sttuggle to obtain gold has been so great that its value has almost doubled. Whv did our gover ment abandon the monetary system established by Jefferson ? Why were the plain provisions of the constitution oet aside to enthrone cold os the only money of redemption?

The big shortage in the govern* ment revenues occurred under the last year of the McKinley tariff. This is history, and nothing the Republican newspapers may sny to the contrary can c aßge *ha facts of history. The shortage in revenues during the last year of the McKinley tariff, July Ist, 189 l, was $72,325,448. The shor age for the veer ending July Iri, 1895, the first year of the present tariff, was $46,558,909. The shortage of the second - ear of the Wilson tariff. July 1. 1896, was only $26,042,000. Had the income tax feature of the present law not been overthrown the revenues for the second year of the Wilson tariff would have been ample. Even without the ncorae tax revenues w ould be ample if people had the money with with which to buy tariff taxed articles. People are not consuming tariff taxed articles as they formerly did, because the money king, of the world have contracted the money in circulation. They h iv* hoarded gold They have forced the government to sell bonds to maintain a single gold standard. They have foiced the governmen to contract the money in circulation and $270,000,000 of the people’s money now lies idle in the government treasury. Jf money were not locked up—if it were not made dear by an -ffort to make one metal do the business of tbecouns try - people would be m a jonditiou to buy more and our teveuaee, under the Wilson Griff, would exceed the Amount necessary to meet the enormous expenditures ihat have been made ecessary by ex tiavagaut Repu’-.ican lawmakers JLUo McKinley law was not a revenue tariff. P was not designed tor tliai purpose. Its object was to give protection to trusts and monopolies. This it did while the

revenues fell off each year that it Remained on the statute books. The New Yoik Dispatch, which is an earnest champion oi McKinley and Hobart, is making a desperate effort to awaken the Repub« licaus of the east to the dangers which threat m their ticket. It says to its Gothamite readers.: “TV. 3 free silver craze is rooted in every nook and corner of the country It is stronger in New York City than any place in the Union. It is strong in the New England states, supposed to be solidly for gold. Let us the facts. The gold plank to the laboring people is ti e plank of the classes The Republican party never it its history, had a harder struggle before it than it nas today to elect McKinley on the gold plank Get off your coats and go to ,vork now. The masses, that McKinley had safely ccralled before tne nomination, have already escaped. Stop this twaddle,|these insane and idiotic congratulations ana get to work. The nominee is in danger; the party is in danger.” * *

England is back of the single gold standard. England is the creditor of the world, and the scarcer aud dearer she can make money the richer she becomes. Our forefathers provided for the free coina"e of both gold and silver. No one has ever given a good reason for the abandonment of silver as money of redemption. The events that were predicted to follow the abandonment of the double standard are upon us Our farmers, ups on whom the nation depends for tie greater pait of ;» prosperity —see ruin staring them in the face since gold has become the only of redemption and its purchasing power doubkh. The valueof farm lauds and tarrn products have btea steudilyitailen since s he single gold stsuuard was adopted in 1873. They will continue to fall as the purchasing power of gold increase es. Ruin for the American farmer means ruin for all kinds of business. The Luauufuctuier must suffer when the farmer gets little money 1 for his crops because it means that almost om-nalf oaf population are deprived of money

with which to buy manufactured goeds. The merchants must suffer because as the price ot farm products go still lower as they undoubtedly w.ll under the single gold standard, half our people will have uothi jg with which to buy goods of the merchants. Laboring people must suffer from lack of employment because a curtail-, rnout of ono-Lalf of the consuming power of the people means less work for the toiling millions. The very fact that th/ money lenders of the world are all arrayed on the side of tne single gold standard should be argument enough to convince the manufacturer, the farmer, tLe merohant and the In* boring mao, that their interests are with those whoadvocati therestori tion of the double standard The rehabilitation of silver means the doubling of the volvme of primary money. It means better prioes for the products of tlu farm and the faotory. 11 means more work for the millions who toil with their hands.

Honored by Heathens.

The German Emperor must have been very much amused when he read the speech of one of the natives of the Cameroon* In proposing; the “health of the Kaiser” at a recent festival. The speech was as follows: “The Emperor Is the wisest and most powerful man In the world. He sees the treasures In the middle of the earth, and he has brought them forth. He spans the world with Iron threads, and as soon as he touches them his words travel over space. He has steamships that sail on dry land. When a mountain stands In his way he bores a hole through It; If a river bars his progress he builds a street In the air. Though the Emperor Is the richest of all men he has only one wife, and though his wife is the most beautiful woman on earth he had not anything to pay for her.”

The Russian Grown.

The crown which is to be worn at the coming coronation of the Czar of Russia Is one of the richest treasures in the possession of European royal or Imperial families. Catharine the Great had It made by a Jeweler from Geneva in the last century. She gave orders at the time that it was to be the most valuable crown In Europe. The Jeweler, however, was informed that it must not weigh more than five pounds, as the Empress was to wear It for five hours at the ceremony of coronation. The Genevan was successful in fulfilling all the requirements, and the crown to-day is valued at nearly $460,000. On Its top Is a ruby surmounted by a cross of five magnificent diamonds, and the rest of It Is fairly covered with diamonds and pearls.

Ambitious Philadelphia Boys.

All of a sudden the bright, small boy In a part of West Philadelphia has developed a wonderful desire to run errands for the neighbors “free for nothing/ 1 and generous housekeepers have been marveling at the solicitation of contracts for the privilege of running after purchases. Numbers of the youngsters have made compacts that they shall be the privileged ones for a certain period. The mystery is explained by a scheme of some of the storekeepers, who give each boy a card Indicating the amount of the purchase, and when the boy becomes the possessor of the tickets aggregating a certain amount he Is made the recipient of a percentage of all that has been bought through his agency. A corps of amMttoun young drug and grocery brokers la thus being developed.
