' The editor of the Philadelphia Record sees in the existence of a duty on salt an effort to make that commodity scarce or dear. Tho Record man need not worry. Plenty of salt for his potatoes can be had cheap as Ions: as he is able to earn it. . Now .that a British sealer has been captured and a case made for court, as it were, let the question be settled as to -whether tho United States owns Behring sea or not. It is important that our seals, as well as our codfish, should be protected from foreign poachers. Ik refusing to take their lands in severalty, because to do so will involve the payment of taxes, the Devil's Lake, Dak., Indians show an intelligent appreciation of tho advantages of the savage as compared with thoso of tho child of civilization. To bean Indian and pay no taxes is, to Lo's mind, better than to be Henry George with a single tax. The New York World has been compelled to retract one lie it told about the administration, but if those who know the truth took the trouble to deny all the lies told by Democratic organs, every alternate edition of thoso interesting papers would contain nothing but retractions. Life is too short and the damage done too insignificant to make denials worth while. The pretended objections of the Sioux and Cherokee Indians to the sale of lands which they cannot now use, and will never need, is merely a part of their scheme for driving a hard bargain with the government. They know the sale would be for their own benefit, and that it will eventually be made, but they choose to haggle and make delays in the hopo of getting better terms, although the propositions made are fair and even liberal. Whatever may have been tho case with his ancestors, the modern son of tha forest is familiar with market prices. No State executive in recent years has given a moro notable and praiseworthy exhibition of determination to enforce tho law than that just furnished by Governor Nichols, of Louisiana. That State has been notorious for lawlessness, and perhaps tho Governor never would have shown the energy ho has if the situation had not become so desperate as to render it absolutely necessary. However that may be, ho deserves credit for acting vigorously when he did act. Three companies of militia are a strong sheriffs posso, but the work they were sent to do was no child's play. It ended in the arrest of eighteen men, including the Mayor of St. Pierre, the town marshal, the leading physician of tho town, two cousips of the sheriff and other persons of local prominence. These arrests arc the culmination of a long course of lawlessness in the parish of Lafayette. For several mouths a band of self-styled "regulators" has been terrorizing the parish, hanging negroes, compelling officials, white and black, to resign their offices under threats of death, resisting legal processes, etc. Matters finally reached 6uch a pass that tho Governor sent the Ailjutant-general with three companies of militia to report to tho sheriff and obey his orders. Tho sheriff pointed out the ringleaders of the mob and they were arrested and put in jail. It is gratifying to seo so vigorous an effort to enforce the law, and especially in a part of the country where it is so much 'needed. Under tho terms of tho British commercial treaty with Japan, which has been in forco for many years, British subjects who aro guilty of infractions, however serious, of tho law of tho country do not come under tho jurisdiction of tho native courts, but are tried before tribunals established by their own government. As was inevitable., great abuses have been perpetrated under this provision of the treaty. Unscrupulous Englishmen have taken unlawful commercial advantages, and havo pursued, almost unchecked, a courso of robbery and outrage, sure that courts composed of men who, liko themselves, regarded tho Japanese as lawful prey, would not interfere with their projects. No native could get justice in theso courts, whose proceedings were a mere farco. Efforts have been mado from time to tirao by the Japanese govern ment to have this provision of the treaty set aside, but English officials anxious to maintain their control have threatened withdrawal of British trade and protection from outside enemies in case the change was insisted on, and havo hitherto prevented tho reform. Tho United States has had a similar treaty, but has never abused it, and has therefore no trouble in negotiating a new treaty which will offer greater advantages of commerce. Naturally, Eng

land wishes to sharo these advantages, and must, therefore, havo a new treaty, aud, according to report, proposes to surrender the judicial privileges in return for the concession by the Japanese. When this diplomatic transaction is ratified Japan will be liberated from an oppressive burden laid upon it by a power which took a brutal advantage of the strong over tho weak. It is probable that no one has done moro to brinjj about this chango than Mr. E. H. House, an American, whose long residence in Japan enabled him to write his series of forcible magazine articles on the wrongs of that country.

THE BEHRIKOSEA IKCLDEKT. The news from Behring sea is interesting. A British sealer has been captured by the United States revenue cutter in those waters, her cargo of seal-skins confiscated, her papers seized, and the schooner sent into port in charge of an American officer. Tho capture .was not effected until tho commander of the revenue cutter had ordered her ports lowered and guns run out, showing that he meant business. The captain of the scaler is reported as saying that when in Victoria ho had been ordered to pay no attention to the United States cutter, and that he would not have surrendered if her force had not been superior to his own. The affair has all the elements of an international incident, and will doubtless be the subject of diplomatic correspondence. Tho captain of the revenue cutter either has strict orders or else ho exercised largo discretion, for, after boarding . the sealer and demanding her papers which were refused ho broke open tho captain's chest and took possession of the papers. It is hardly probable that ho would havo taken all theso steps, even to boarding tho British vessel, seizing her papers and sending her to Sitka in charge of an officer unless his instructions authorized him to do so. Further information shows that the cutter had started in pursuit of ether British scalers, and no doubt other captures have been made under circumstances -quite as exciting as thoso narrated. These captures will bring the Behring sea question to the front at once. The British government will probably ask for an explanation; our government will define its position and assert its claim, a diplomatic correspondence will follow, perhaps a maritime conference, and tho whole question of boundary-lines and national rights in Behring sea will be definitely settled. The turning point of the whole business is tho protection of tho seal fisheries, and the fact that tho British government is quite as much interested and as anxious to accomplish this as the United States will doubtless contribute to a friendly settlement of the matter. Two years ago, when there was talk of a maritime conference on the subject, Minister Phelps wroto to our Secretary of State, "Lord Salisbury assents to your proposition to establish by mutual arrangement between tho governments interested a close time for fur seals between April 15 and November 1. He will also join the United States government in any preventive measures it may be thought best to adopt by orders issued to the naval vessels in that region of the respective gov ernments." The conference was not held and no understanding was reached. The recent proclamation of the President and the orders to the revenue cutter include tho prohibition from sealfishing in certain waters of American as well as British vessels. It is simply a question of enforcing American law in thoso waters in regard to the killing of fttr seals. The whole business of sealfishing 'in certain parts of tho sea is prohibited by act of Congress, and it is this law which tho revenue cutter is sent there to enforce. Incidentally, it raises the question of tho right of the United States to exercise jurisdiction over the waters, and this involves the question of a closed sea. Tho present seizure is made under precisely tho same circumstances as those which characterized the seizure, in the same waters, of several British schooners in 18SC and 1887. In that case the vessels were taken' to Sitka, tried and condemned, the masters fined and imprisoned, and the seal-skins confiscated. The owners appealed to the British government, which made a demand for their release, and presented a claim of about 8100,000 for damages. By order of President Cleveland, the Attorney-general, in January, 1887, sent a dispatch to the authorities in Alaska ordering tho unconditional releaso of tho imprisoned men, and the surrender of the vessels and other property. This was a complete surrender of the claim and rights of the United tates in those cases. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be in the present case. ' MTSEEADLJG THE INDICATIONS. Tho most casual observer must have noticed the greatly increased arrogance of the saloons and their bolder defiance of law since the late verdict of Pennsylvania and Rhode Island upon the prohibitory amendment. The organs of the liquor power and the keepers of saloons see in these elections not only the overthrow of prohibition, but a practical surrender of tho entire country to their interests. They misread the indications. Nothing of the kind is deducible from them. It was a popular verdict in these States, and probably indicative of a similar verdict in every State, except less than a half dozen, against tho extreme policy which would forbid the manufacture of intoxicants as well as forbid tho saloon; but it indicates no concession to tho saloon that will justify its present attitude. And, after all, taking the votes in tho fourteen States that have voted on the question, there . is nothing to jus tify tho saloon in believing that it is monarch of all. In these States 3.G89.2C2 votes were cast, of which 1,5G0,2G3 were for this extreme phase of saloon regulation an army of Americaus not to bo puffed at as insignificatt, especially when we remember what class of citizens compose it. But this does not tell tho wholo story. There are other millions who are as hostile to the saloon as it is as .those who, in despcra

tion, have voted for absolute extermination. There aro millions who believe that the saloon might exist as a comparatively harmless institution. They have proposed to hedge it about by restrictions of one kind or another, but hitherto they have failed, generally, because of the utter and studied disregard of law by the saloon itself. A wise man does not have to read between tho lines to learn the indications of current events that relate to tho saloon, for the lines themselves declare that a storm is

brewing which must sweep the salocjnl out of existence if nothing less canbrinin it under control. In Pennsylvania, since tho practical annulment of the Brooks law by the Supreme Court, the saloon seems determined to turn the voters of tho entire State into Prohibitionists. Thousands who voted against prohibi tion in good faith, believing the regulation of the Brooks law better than abso lute prohibition, would now vote for al most anything. Notice the attitude of thesaloon-keepersin Cincinnati: brazen, arrogant, defiant. See them in Indian apolis, refusing to pay tho very moderate tax and requiring almost the en tire time of the polico to keep them in reasonable bounds. These are nurtur ing an army of Prohibitionists who will one day swoop down upon the saloon and destroy it forever. Tho American people will not tolerate, much less foster, a class of professional law-defiers. To tho saloon itself, moro than to any and all other agencies is to be attributed the present mobilization of the temperance forces. It is a fact that the' saloon will do well to mako a note of that in the fourteen States which gavo the 1,5CG,2C8 votes for tho most ultra phase of prohibition, General Fisk re ceived last year only 104,208 votes, or a little less than one in fifteen of the actual prohibition strength of those States, so that the strength of the cause is not to bo measured by the vote for Fisk, by any means. Another fact is commended to their notice: perhaps twice as many are in earnest for restrictive measures that wili restrict as voted for prohibition that does not prohibit, and they will not be trifled with or defied by tho saloon. And there is still another and more important fact not to be lost sight of: convinced by these late votes that absolute prohibition is not at present possible, the Prohibitionists aro combining with the restrictionists to make tho most restrictive measure possible, whether that bo high license or local option, or both combined, and he sadly misreads tho indications of passing events who assumes that the saloon may march to tho front and take possession of tho land. The indications aro exactly in tho other direction, and nothing is contributing so much to the utter overthrow of the saloon as tho saloon itself. When it comes to slang-whang oratory and looso expectoration of language Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, ranks well up toward the head. In a speech at Covington, on Tuesday night, lie said: . . .re,) Thank God, there are some of na who bslieve that the war ended in 1SC5. when Robert K. Lee, the matchless general, surrendered, and from that hour to this no arm has ever been raised on this broad continent to dispute the authority of federal I ower, and not a hostile shot has revererated through the land from lake to gulf and from ocean to ocean since that tune, though John Sherman and Foraker and tho balance of those driveling idiots Haunt tho bloody shirt to tho country, notwithstanding the fact that tho war ceased twentj'five years ago. His speech was largely a eulogy of tho good old times prior to 1S01, when, ho said, "the great God forgot to be gracious to this people, and allowed the black banner of Republicanism to unfurl itself from the dome of tho country's Capitol in triumph." And this man is a United States Senator! I said tho other day at tho breakfast table at tho Terro Hauto House, with some genial Republican friend, that if I had my way with men liko tho Carnegies, that preyed' upon tho land and sucked people's blood liko leeches, I would hang them. Ho seemed shocked about it. I was not, at all. Senator Voorhees at lttoomfiehl, July 27. A few years ago English newspaper gossips were telling what a strong influence tho New York wife of Lord Randolph Churchill had over that statesman. Now they are saying of the noblo Lord that he does not hold the same pinion on any political subject for six consecutive weeks. This resemblanco to New York politicians proves that Lady Churchill's influence is still powerful. A banking sj'udicate at Boise City has offered to cash tho bills of tho members of the Idaho constitutional convention at a discount of S3 per cent. Tho average banker of the wild and woolly West is possessed of a stock of nerve well calculated to make the Eastern pawn-broker and chattel-mort-gago shark turn green with envy. The following commnnication explains itself: Chicago, July 31. Bear Dan Your IJloomfleM speech makes you one of lis. The brethren ot the red fla? send greeting. Down with the capitalist! Hand In and, let us liunt tho tyrants and spill their blood. Hooroo! Yours for Anarchy, JLUCT Tarsoxs. Blessed is a level country in a wet season.

The chasuble worn by Thomas Ewing Sherman in celebrating his first mass was made of the wedding dress of his sister. "It is better to live fifty years with one woman than one year with fifty women," 6apiently observed the Shah, in speaking of Mr. Gladstone's golden wedding. Mus. Kendall, the famous English actress, is tho youngest of twenty-two children, and comes of a family that has furnished seven generations to the stage. Mrs. Walter G.

From the Egyptian manuscripts owned by the Austrian a iVrchduke Kaiucr it ap

Editor Stead, of Pail Mall Gazette fame, will soon 6et sail for the United States, in order to get a few ideas on the American style of journalism. On his return he is to take charge of a new Radionl half-penny morning paper for London. The money for the enterprise was all raised last week. Father Hayseed's custom of blowing out tho gas was reversed by a girl brought np in London when she first went out to service. After she had gone to bed her mistress noticed that her candle had been left burning, and when asked whv she didn't put it out she replied: "Please, ma'am, 1 do not know how to turn it off." TnE Rev. Mr. Talmage lectured in St. Paul the other night, and when he had finished was served with an attachment under a claim of 2,500 damages by the Waseca Chautuaqua Assembly for failing to keen his engagement to lecture there. There had been correspondence on the subject uutil patience had ceased to be a virtue. Hon. George II. Pendleton, formerly minister to Germany, is a hopeless invalid. He will never again appear in public life. His friends reluctantly confess that he is threatened with softening of tho brain. His decline is due to the shock given him by the death of his wife, who was killed in a runaway accident in this country while he was abroad. Martin Farquhar Tupper, the once famous author of "Proverbial Philosophy," is etill alive. Ho lives in a handsome country house in England. He bears a striking resemblance to Longfellow in his old age. Tupper does not agree with his old school-fellow, Gladstone, on the question of home rule not a very important fact, by the way. Julian Hawthorne is nearly six feet tall and looks liko an athlete. His sister, Roso Hawthorne Lathrop, is a very small woman, with a tiny, childish face, surrounded by fluffy auburn hair. The two are the only living children of their father, though there was another daughter, a very handsome girl, who died in England a number of years ago of a very distressing malady.. Samuel J. Tilden had a marvelous memory. A friend who was with him at the time says that.while sitting at the side of the casket in which the body of Horace Greeley reposed Mr. Tilden recounted the deathbed scene, with date, and place, and minute circumstance, of every President and Vice-president of tho United States. All the facts he Telatedwere afterward verified without exception. Mrs. Frederick B. Wetter, the plaintiff in a recent divorce case tried in Detroit, Mich., was a woman of about fifty, who wore in her ears silver bells nearly as large as English walnuts, which tinkled with her every movement. Her shawl was a bright bine, her white dress had largo mauve spots, and she wore a bright red hat, trimmed with green. Ho face was coppercolored, and 6he wore white kid slippers. Robert Louis Stevenson chartered the schooner Equator in Honolulu, a few weeks ago, and has sailed for Gilbert islands thence he intends going to the Marshall islands and the Ellis gronp. His object in undertaking this risky journey is to become more fully acquainted with the habits of the less civilized South &ea islanders. Ho is accompanied bv his wife. J. B. Strong, the artist, and Mr. Osborne. He is in very bad health. Anton Rumnstein, the com poser, will be tendered a great celebration iu St. Peters

The president of the committee having the affair in charge is Duke Gcorre. ot Meeklenburg-Streiitz. Americans who .wish to contribute should address the president at Michael Palace, St. Petersburg. A pretty story, pretty enough to be true. is told of Princess Louise, who has wedded tho Earl of Fife. It seems this shy royal maiden had been "stuck on" the Earl for years; in fact, even before she came out. but she had never told her love, nor did the Earl tell his until a kind court busybody, guessing the secret, went to papa with it. And during these five years the Princess always bought a birthday present for the man bhe loved, but as she never dared give it to him, the little gift was laid away in a drawer ana carefully locked up. A wonderful young Russian giantess has just reached Paris. Her name is Elizabeth Liska. She is only eleven years of age, and' is already six feet six inches in height. Her parents are of ordinary stature, and her brothers and sisters, ot whom she has live. are not above tho average hemht. Her ab normal growth only began w hen she was four years of ace. but tho doctors sav she will continuo to grow for some time. Her development is m keeping with her stature. bhe measures three teet one and threefourths inches around the waist and three feet eleven inches around the chest. Readers. of Bertha M. Clay's novels will be surprised to learn that there is no Bertha M.'Clay. A Chicago newspaper says: An English writer, named Mrs. Charlotte M. Braeme, wrote stories for an English family newspaper. As fast as tuey appeared they were stolen by a story paper in New York, who attributed them to "Bertha M. Clav." a fictitious name which they invented, and without the knowledge of the author. Mrs. Braeme died in 18S3. but so popular had the stories of "Bertha M. Clay" become that the proprietors of the paper hired a number of writers io iurnisu simitar stories, an attributed to "Bertha M. Clay." and thus have kept the name beforo their readers ever since. Alas! how easily things go wrong! A fcikdi too deep, or a kiss too long; And then comes a mist and a sweeping rain, And life is never the same again. George McDonald. COMMENT AND OPINION. Let the railroads alone.

Tun failure to take the shares of the salt combination is, we fear, solely due to the innate dislike of investors to pay five dol lars for share 8 representing one dollar of actual value, and the innate fear in such cases that they will not get the profit aris ing from an artificial enhancement of this universal necessity. f lttsburg Dispatch. It was an easier matter to leave the name of God out of the Constitution than to nrovoke a debate and Drobablv a auarrel which might have resulted in the disunion of the States already inclined in that direction. But in view of the fact that the Constitution of the United States recog nized human slavery, perhaps it was just as well that it omitted the recognition of the Almighty. Chicago limes. The absence of largo cities, with their demoralizing influences, always exerted in favorof "free rum," theenlistnient of the wom en voters to a man" in favor of enforced total abstinence, and the community feel ing that prevails iu and differentiates Kansas from all her sister States, are only a few of the causes that tend to make prohibition popular there and its enforcement, consequently, more eflective.

New York Tribune. YOORHEES'S LATE SPEECH ITow the Senator's Anarchistic Yiewa Are Re ceived by Editors of the County Papers. Terre Haute Express: Senator Yoorhees expressed a desire to hang Carnegie and a few others. He now would include tho Journal's short-hand reporter, who reported the Bloomfield speech, "as she was spoko." Lafavetto Courier: Inmakinc his Bloomfield sDeech. Senator Voorhees took himself entirely out of the realm of politics and set himself up as an enemy of good govern ment. It is not because he chooses to pose as a Democrat that he deserves to be con demned, but for anarchist sentiments and utterances that are nothing 'less than treasonable, Shelbyville Republican: Simply because Carnegie is wealthy the great 'Voorhees wants liim hung. If tho soldiers had had their wav during the war Voorhees would have been hanging from the limb of a tree. it was only through the mercy or some Republicans that he was not dealt with as violently as he now desires to do with the wealthy men of tho country like the Carnegies. Elkhart Review: Senator Voorhees mado one of his demagogical harangues at Bloomfield, Ind., last Saturday, in which he told the listeners that all rich men ate their bread in tho sweat of the poor man's face, and all such balderdash. Such statements from a man who draws a five-thoueand-dol-lar salary for sitting iu a Senator's seat and talking only drivel for a . few hours each year shows what a consummate demagogue a man can become. Columbus Republican: Voorhees's speech at Bloomfield. Greene county. Indiana, the other day, is a characteristic Democratic speech. Eull of false statements and misrepresentations from end to end, it appealed to the lowest passions and prejudices oi men, and could only be appreciated by ignorant Democrats who never read anything and know only what they aro told by such Democrats as Voorhees. Daniel is now one ahead of Isaac P., and wo shall doubtless hear from Isaac shortly. Logansport Journal: Last Satnrdav. at Bloomtield, Greene' county, lion. Daniel W. Voorhees, Senator in Congress from Indiana, unloaded a mass of demagogic filth and fustian upon a large audience, which in any other land on earth but this would consign him to a felon's cell. It was an appeal to prejudice, passion and discontent that could only inflame the spirit of anarchy and bloody revolution. It was an effort to array class against class in the hostility which can only find a vent in a resort to force. It was an address remarkable for its lack of truth, its poverty of argument and and its burden of venom. Parsons, Spies and their fellow-criminals of tho Haymarket in Chicago never ut tered more incendiary sentiments. Kokomo Gazette-Tribune: One of the cleverest exhibitions of valuable newspaper enterprise was that of the Indianapolis Journal sending a reliable stenographer io report accurately the speech of Senator voorhees, delivered last Saturday at liioomheid, tireeno couuty. ior several weeks the Democracy of that portion of Indiana had been preparing for a tariffreform meeting to be addressed by Voor hees. it was their purposo toacordhim an opportunity to bid to succeed himself and score a point against Gray in the bitter contest pending between these two aspirants for tho senatorial succession. It is well that his intemperato and incendiary utterances are preserved in cold type. His latest appeal to passion and prejudice makes up the completest piece of shameless demagogy ever displayed m Indiana. HOW OUR PAPER MONEY IS MADE. A Process Full of Interest Precautions Against Mistakes and Counterfeits. . Pittsburg Dispatch. On the wide-stretching plain over which the Washington monument casts its slim shadow when the sun is setting stands a tall brick building, made conspicuous by a still taller tower and a waving flag. All day long a chimney belches forth black smoke that drifts out upon the Potomao and a noisy steam pipe sends forth a cloud of white vapor in regular respirations. At 8 o'clock in the morning nearly 1,000 peo ple pass under its arched doorway, and at 5 o'clock they emerge again, liko bees from a hive. In the meantimo they make money make it in a purely matter-of-fact way. as a weaver weaves carpets or a cobbler mends shoes for a daily living. They exist in an atmosphere of wealth. Great stacks of mouey, that are a sight for povertystricken eyes, stand around them. Tho poorest girl in the Bureau of Engraving handles enough money every day to mako her rich for life. It is an interesting sight to see how tho government turns out day by day tons aud tons of crisp, new bank notes or silver ccrtiticates to watch the silent engravers etch the steel, the shirtsleeved plate printers take the impressions and the careful messengers carry off the finished bills by the cart load. So interesting, indeed, is this work of money-making, says tho Washington Post, that the bureau began to be overrun by visitors, who seriously interfered with its work. Now, visitors are only admitted between 10 a. m. and 2 r. M. on Saturdaj's, and during these hours nearly every stranger in the city presents himself at the arched door, and, under the leadership of a pretty girl guide, sees how Uncle Sam replenishes his cash. When Congress has ordered the issue of a new series of notes the first step in tho bureau is the preparation of what is known as the modeL This is generally a hand some pen-and-ink dra wing of the nroposed bin, ami is suumiueo miauy to tne oeeretary of the Treasury for his approval. Nothing about the Tiote is leit to mere chance. The banker does not regard money from apurelv artistic fetiuid-point. Hewants tne denomination to piaiu auu distinct, and he asks that tbi iieuro of the note bo placed in the upper right hand corner to lacimate counting, ine iact mat a note must bear a certain title rather restricts the artist in the preparation of the model. but very frementlfv, as in the case of the new twenty-dollar silver certificate, which bears the portrait or the late wecretaiy Manning, both utility and artistic beauty are combined. In this particular bill the artist has made a striking innovation. The portrait, instead of being at one end of the note, is in tho center, and is supported on the sides bv hgures or 1'rosperity ana La bor. The lettering is at the extremities of the certificate, and the effect produced by this new idea is really very striking. The model having bsen adopted, the next step is the engraving of the plate. The room in which this work is done is a large, weli-liehted anartment on the ground floor. It must not be supposed for a moment that the entire face of a note is engraved by one man. Tho portrait goes to one. the vignette to another, the lettering, script and borders to others, and so on until no less than twelve men are at work. It . is a long and tedious task, requiring great care and accurate skill. No less than six weeks' time is necessary for the engraving of a portrait like that of Secretary Planning, lhe stel used is all imported from England, and is a remarkably hue grade. Engravers all over the world use English steel, and have done so for a century. ateel of enual ouality could do made in this country, but the demand would not be sumcieni to recompense lur iuo cost, ot tne plant. Even the engraving tool are imported, being manufactured by a Parisian firm which for many years has had a mononolv of the business. When, at the end of many months of care ful engraving, the various portions of the note aro finished, an impression of each sec tion is taken upon a solid plate of steeL Each separate part is placed in the position it wonld occupy on the note, and when the transfer is tinally accomplished, the face of the new bill appears in perfect form. The plate is hardened, and across its engraved surf aro is passed a soft steel roller. The de pression of the plate appears on the roller as a raised surface.and wuen the little cylinder has been hardened it is a perfect die. It in turn is rolled b3 tremendous pressure upon a plate of soft steel. The power exerted force the fine lines of the die into the steel

is so great that a thin bit of paperplaced on the plate leaves a deep impression, and a bi& of lint, scarcely visible to the naked eye, forms a rough scar. A tly speck under this pressure makes a deep hole in the metal, and particles of dust must be carefully removed lest they, too, leave their imprint. This transfer process not onlv allows any number of,platcs to be madebut is an excellent guard against counterfeiting. Each faco and each reverse of a note, being taken from the same die, are exactly alike. In no other way could this result be reached.
