Loud Lunsuai.e, speakinu of the pro posed yacht contest for the America cup, says thnt "the Americans lire act inic 1 h childish mid unsportsmanlike Dinuuer." The English licked George Gould so easily they think they oan lick all the rest of iih. If the Iree silver boomers have any dig' cermiient they tntist by this time recog nize Grover Cleveland as their best and most zealous friend. My his devotion to a policy which Is bound to for.e the coun try to n silver basis. Air. Cleveland is cut ii led to the heavily silver plated grutl tude of every gold hater ill the land. Patchwork is not always attractive In financial legislation. The best reply yet made to the criticism that the Admluia tration's currency plan Is a patchwork o incongruous parts is that the practical statesman is often obliged to concede much to the Interests or prejudices of many different classes in order to get any thing done. But tbe fragments brought tagether by the hand of Mr. Carlisle or Pre-ideut Cleveland are not merely tin like to texture iiud shape, but are niutu allv destructive both in popular apprecla lion ami in fiunnoirtl working. Th coDs-rj.ieu m it that tneu who heartily favor some parts of the scheme must be irreconcilably hostile toother, so that the itUcui;i to put the Currently bill into such shape tji.it it can pass through the House will i"olnlily ieat tended with more diffi cult; than the President, Imagines. st! rency The er men and (he ndvoeates of a cur- sued dlrettly by the government will naturally do everything In' their power, ill the framing of a banking bill, to cripple the banking system and de prive it of the tnont profitable opportuni ties, in order to make more room for the kinds of ciiculalion they desire. Secte tary Carlisle's concession to tho silver men went far enough to admit that loom must ie kept for ail the silver circulation po-sible, whether the banks get any chance for note 1-sues or not, and it ii safe to SHy that tins silver men, with the Populisti and others who demand a gov ernment, circulation without any inter mediary banks tobiauitout will be si rung enough to de eriulue the form of the meas ure. Indeed, It will be remarkable. If pro visions fur fiee sliver culunge and for un limited silver certificates do not get fast ene'l upuit the Itauking bill before it is allorted to 10.10b a vote. Already it Is no ticed t'mt tho one provision which men who couBlder themselves conservative desire, namely, fur reducing or re !ie ou-fitandlug demand notes of iv.-i-umaut, lias been omitted from i. eutirely, for tho obvious reason have fallen ; but another year there will be a diminished acreage, of each, and the vils of overproduction will bo counter acted. Formulas liko these do not go deep enough to reach the level of undercon sumption. Although tho crops of cotton and wheat nro phenomenally large, the supply would not exceed the demand so enormously if the average consumer could buy on the same scale as in 1803, the Inst prosperous year, lint this he cannot do, for Mi earnings have been reduced, his savings have been Impaired, his employ ment is uncertain and his prospects are gloomy. He Is wearing his old clothes, living on cheaper food and less of it, and cutting down his living expenses In many ways. He is the consuming unit, and he buys loss than he did. Multiply him by seventy millions and there Is the Ameri can market, with a shrinkage of purchas ing power which has disastrously affected all its own ludustrles, and many of tliose of the world. There are smaller sales of home manufactures and less work mid lower wages for workers j anil undercon sumption of food and clothing is the result. The Southern planter and the Western farmer, the two agents who were largely instrumental in ordering in 1BP2 a reversal of the industrial ami protective policies ot the nation, are now suffering directly from the evils of underconsumption. Manufacturing interests were the first to feel the effects of business uncertainly and the losses of wage earners. The great agricultural producers South and West are now learning to their cost, that the marked decline in the purchasing power of a prosperous nation reacts necessarily upon cotton-planters and wheat-farmers. If cheapness of food nud clothing were the mulu factor ot national prosperity, Americans would now have full cause for gratitude to Democratic tariff meddlers. lint when Hour Is low, and cotton sells below the cost of production, nud every other commodity is cheap because the supply runs far beyond the demand, they need not bo thaukful. The practical ex perience of the last to years has taught Americans that, whatever may be tbe truth about Free Trade or the Protective policy, nothing eiu take the place of im tional prosperity under which all classes of the population are employed at good wages and all industries are in lull, uu impeded operatiou. Those ate the con dltlons which develop the purchasing power of every consumer and make the 'American market the main sifeguard against overproduction ut home and abioad. niii niii nvivn : ill niiiij uilmju Tho Noted British Tory a Victim of Paralysis.

The most common instrument of tor turo in a Chinese jail Is tho bamboo. No attention Is paid to the lnwtwhich provides how iiiiiny strokes of the bamboo red may lie inflicted for certain ollcnscs. Often the executioner nf tho sentence inflicts 10 or SO times as many blows upon the naked ' victim as the law designtit' i. The Shane hal newspapers awhile agt, reported that between 2,000 and 3,000 strokes of the bamboo had been laid upon tho hacks of two old persons who had been found guilty of levying blackmail, and that in addi tion to tills awful punislimont their an kles had been broken with an iron ham- j mer.
