A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY. «um«M Lmui Companies G«ttta« Moser os Morlgsgee Tkst Bad . Bees Written OF. Probably in the history of the continent there never was such a tide of prosperity enjoyed by any country as the Dominion of Canada is being favored with. That portion of Canada known as Western Canada is attracting thousands of people who are seeking homes on the arable lands of that hew but rapidly developing country. Possessed of exceptionally gooa railroad privileges, the best school system in the world, churches in every small settlement, while in the towns and'cities all denominations are represented, and with markets in close proximity to the grain fields, most of the requirements for a comfortable existence are anet. The development that ia.now taking place in the mining districts gives an impulse to agriculture and good prices, .with gnsod crops, being about a state or affairs that the crowded districts pf more populous centers ace taking advantage of. The Associated Press dispatches a few days since had the following telegram: Toronto, Feb. 4.—(Special)—Loan companies that made advances on Manitoba fwoperty years ago report that the returns rom the west during the past three months have exceeded expectations. One company has taken from Manitoba over $20,000 interest. and discharged mortgages many of which had been written off a year ago. Directors of the leading loan companies are taking a greater interest in the business of their institutions, and are inquiring into many properties on which advances have been naaae. The climate in the Western provinces of Manitoba, Alberta, Aasiniboia and Saskatchewan is excellent, there being no healthier anywhere. The Canadian government is now offering special inducements for the encouragement of settlers, and they have their agents at work throughout the United States for the purpose of giving information and distributing literature. Among those going to Canada are many ex-Canadians, who nave failed to make as good a living as they expected in the United States.

THE WORLD NEEDS MONEY, j Silver u Well a* Gelt Keecwur ter Currency. The world needs much money, and will need more of It in the future. A number of the prominent nations of the earth are now practically on a paper basis, having never been able to obtain enough metallic money to make specie payments possible. More than two thousand millions of dollars of gold and silver are yet necessary to the currencies of the world before this out-stand-ing paper can be taken up. ‘Here alone is a gulf that will swallow up the products of several Klondikes. The world needs vast*coinages of gold and silver to make good the losses that are constantly being sustained.. Dentistry alone is using up a large amount af the precious metals, both of silver and gold. In this country it is estimated that gold and silver to the value of two thousand millions has been used In the dental business and that most of this metal has gone. into the graveyards, and the rest is on the way there. But the use of gold and silver in the dental arts is an incident of civilization. What about the swarming millions of people that ore even at this time being brought under civilization and under the hand of the dentist! Where civili- j ration goes, there the dentist goes with his supply of gold and silver for his work. In the savage lands, where the sun of a uew era is even now rising, stand a billion people, whose mouths are ready to swallow up the precious products of Australia, Peru and Alaska. New nations are being born and demanding that their names be placed on the scroll of civilized nations. With their birth commerce springs up, and with it comes the demand for currencies that are recognized as such by the nations of the world. These reach out their hands und ask for the golden and silver treasure. Whence shall they be supplied? When the whole earth has been placed on a commercial basis the problem of the currencies will indeed be a stupendous one, for the reason that the earth gives no promise of being able to supply the money metals in sufficient quantities to meet the demands of trade. What does the entire world’s harvest of gold and siler amount to when scattered among 1,300,000,000 people? Even if the yearly product were to be $300,000,000, the per capita-would be but 20 cents, and this 20 cents would have to supply currency,, dental material, gold for watchds, rings, bracelets, settings for stones, material for plates and household utensils, gold leaf, gilding, silver knives, forks, cups and a thousand other articles of use and luxury too numerous to be recited. And where is all of this vast supply to be obtained? The history of the world shows that countries and continents become exhausted of their precious metals. .With ali the new inventions for extracting the metals, are they finding auv new mines in Europe? No; the once rieh Europe has been practically exhausted, and the same is true of \he long accessible portions of Asia and of Africa—yes, even of South America and California. Australia even has become lukewarm. Only in lands newly accessible are rich mines being opened. The world needs both of us money metals. H. F. THURSTON.

A STEAL IN THE TARIFF. It Wh Pm*«4 to Protect Trusts and Miinopollm. Gradually the people are beginning to find out why the tariff law was passed. It was net passed to secure revenue nor was it passed to improve the condition of wage-workers. It was passed to protect trusts. Its operations have increased the profits of all the great combines of this country and have caused a vast number of new combines to be formed. At the same time, and as a necessary consequence, the cost of living has been increased, the trusts being placed in a position to charge consumers more for the necessities of life. That little differential on sugar alone costs the American people $20,000.1)00 a year. The treasury of the I'nited States does not get one cent out of this vast tax on the consumers. The workingmen see their wages reduced and the trust puts $-0,000,000 in its pockets and insolently demands: “What are you going to do about it?” Such oppression cannot go on forever. It was made possible through fraud, intimidation and misrepresentation. All these forces are now recognized by the masses, and there is going to be such a revolution in 1900 that t^e trusts will have no occasion to ask: “What are you going to do about it?” This question will be answered at the ballot box by »n outraged and indignant people. Awajr Ur hind. The republicans organs had a lot to aav about the little surplus the. Dingley bill scraped up in December, but their silence on the January deficit of $7,000,000 is most profound. This would indicate that they don't even find the outlook encournging-for an occasional shortage is not a thing to be discouraged over. Touching on the prospect, the Albany Argus says: “It Is still regarded as improbable that the Dirgley tariff can, in a full normal year, produce enough revenue from customs to make up the amount required for the expenditures of the government. The treasury statements show that for the first seven months under that law the deficit ^ras S43.S34.7?!. so. that a gain of more than $10,000,000 a month will be required for the next five months to overcome the deficit. The republican party will be held responsible for this failure, and Its political effect will be apparent in the congressional elections.** It Is noted, however, that the republicans have already begun to bring their philosophy to bear on their expected defeat in the congressional elections." — Dinghamton (X. Y.) Leader. -The republican crew loves to save the ship of state—and Incidentally to share In the salvage.—Albany Argus.

I LETTER FROM A BUSINESS MAN. Some Pointed Qaerlei Concerning the Gold Standard. The following letter was recently ad- j dressed to the New York Journal of Commerce. So far as we know that paper.has refused to print the communication. This is the favorite plan with goldbug editors when confronted by logic in favor of the Chicago platform. We print the letter here word for word: "The secretary of the treasury. In his report published In ‘Messages and Documents, 1S96-1S97," page 291. says that a conservative estimate of the total deposits In alt banks of the United States aggregate over Jo.OOi.OOO.OOO. On page 290 he says: *On July 1, 'the total gold and gold certificates holdings of the banks of the country on that date was J302.7S3.S67.’ Now if all obligations are to be made payable in gold, as Is desired by the gold standard party, the total assets to sustain liabilities will be but six cents on the dollar, and If the circulating notes and silver dollars are to j be made payable In gold, there would not be five cents on the dollar as a basis for this huge debt to rest upon. Would not this make a very unstable basis? It may j be said there is about double the amount of gold somewhere In the country, but are there not other vast liabilities as well? "The framers of the national bank act thought 23 per cent, reserve in large cities apd 13 per cent, in smaller cities as little as could safely be gotten on with, which in practice is found too small when panic comes. What, then, would be the fate of banks when the slightest financial flurry or demand for gold came, with such a ' small basis as five per cent? Would not every bank in the United States have to close up in a very short time? "It may be said that the banks: would j pay in notes, but as the notes would be redeemable In gold they would be presented for exchange into gold at the same time that depositors were eager for their j money, making a double drain on the banka "The secretary of the treasury, on page 2S1, says: ‘From May 4 to Octobers, 1893, depositors called upon national banks to pay. tn five months. J29S.OCO.COa Now as national banks have not nearly half of the total deposits, it is only reasonable to assume that more than double as much money was withdrawn from banks during that period as there was gold in all the banks. What. then, would have been the result If all obligations had been at that time payable In gold? Would not all the banks have suspended? "If the circulating bank notes are made payable in gold, will there not be quickly formed even in quiet times, agencies to present, notes for the gold at banks or other places of redemption, for the purpose of creating a demand for gold to replenish their stock, and would there not be created, in consequence, a gold room of such magnitude and power that the one which existed after the war would be Insignificant and lenient In comparison? Would not. banks outside the ring be the first to cry out against its exactions and the gold standard?" T. W. WOOD.

THEY WANT BRYAN. Regrardeil ai the LfiRleal CaaUldnta for The. numerous conferences helil recently by the silver men in congress have culminated in an agreementon a plan for cooperation with respect to the elections to the next congress, both house amt senate. The silver republicans and populists held a conference the other night in the committee room of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, and agreed upon a plan. Every silver republican and every popftlist, senator and representative, was present. ar\d the conference was entirely harmonious and unanimously in favor of cooperation with the democrats in elections next fall, looking to a general cooperation in the presidential election of 1900. There was no opposition manifested to the plan whieh was proposed and adopted. This plan is for the three parties to cooperate in support of the candidates .of each for election to the hou'se and senate, to fill places now held by each, respectively. There was also a unanimous expression of opinion during the informal discussion that Mr. Bryan was the logical candidate for the presidency of the cooperating silver forces. Cooperation will be encouraged in all sections. ExRepresentative Towne, the chairman of the silver republican national committee. it was decided, should go to Oregon for the purpose of assisting to a cooperation between the democrats, silver republicans and populists of that state for the election of two populist nominees for congress. The plan of cooperation contemplates that where seats in either house of congress are now held by a silver man in either of the three parties the united assistance of the three bodies shall be given to elect to that seat a man of the same party as the one now holding it.—Washington Star.

A Beautiful Girl’s Affliction. From the Republican. Versailles. In<L The Tuckers, of Versailles, Ind., like all fond parents, are completely wrapped up in their children. Their daughter Lucy, in particular, has given them much concern. She is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy girl, three years ago, had become weak ana kept falling off in flesh until she became a mere skeleton. She seemed to have no life at all. Her blood became impure and finally she became the victim of nervous prostration. Doctors did not help her. Most of the time she was confined to bed, was very nervous and irritable, and seemed on the verge of St. Vitus’ dance. “One morning,” said Mrs. Tucker, “the doctor told us to give her Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which he brought with him. He said he was treating a similar case with these pills and they were curing the patient. We began giving the pills and the next day could see a change for the better.

The doctor came and was surprised to see such an improvement. He told us to keep giving her the medicine. We gave her one pill after each meal until eight boxes had been used when she was well. She has not been sick since, and we have no fear of the old trouble returning. We think the cure almost miraculous." FRANK TUCKER. MRS. FRANK TUCKER.
