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

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.

CHINESE PUNISHMENTS.

haps it Is bectiUBO thoro Is so littlo moral
force to keep tho pooplo In right ways that
physical force Is so excessively employed
However that may be, the few Chinese'
newspapers frequently contain details of
tort unn impused upon offenders that are
equal to any Inflicted by Indian or African
savages.
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.

of feeling.
Lord Henry Randolph Spencer Church
ill was a few years ago a great figure, in
Kiiglish politics, and was looked to as tho
coming great Tory prime minister, lie
was born Feb. 13, lSW.atid was tlio younger
brother of the lato Duko of Marlborough.
He entered tho house of commons in 1874,
when he was only 25 years of age. Korsix
years lie was a silent member, and It was
not supposed oven by his friends that lie
had any especial capacity for politics. Hut
at Lust lie bejran to attract attention ns a
leading spirit in tho "cave," or Fourth
party, the ol ject of which, apparently, was
to make both Liberals and Conservatives
equally afraid oftt.
Lord Randolph's violence becamo pro
verbial, ami, although it could no longer
lib denied that he had ability, his entiro
lack of balance told heavily against him.
Yet, five years Infer he was secretary of
state for India timh-r Lord Salisbury; ntid
when, after Mx. Gladstone's Inglorious six
mouths In ofliee in 1881, Lord Salisbury
camo back as prime minister a second
tlmu, Lord Ilandolpli wn chancellor of
tho oxchequer,nn oflleo which carried witli
It the leadership of,-tbe house. No ouo
questioned his ability, then or laughed at
him as a mere tiolltlcal a Ivonf ufr And
even when iie quarrelesi with his cliiof and
resigned froi'u olfii ",' ho ix'inalned iv force
witli which any government must reckon.
l'or a tlm lie was looked upon as n
lively recruit to tho Lib ind ranks, but ho
retired from the political arena, taking it
long tour la South Africa, from whence
his series of lotlerj to Tho Dally Graphic
excited much comment antl criticism. At
the general election of INlrJ Lord Randolph
again came to tlio front with some bril
liant platform speeches, and was recon
ciled to his party, his personal f-iendshlp
with Mr. lS.iltour, Lord Salisbury's
nephew, being actively renewed, anil ho
has constantly acted as a deputy leader of
tho commons in hi absence.
In IsT-l Lord Itaud ilph married Miss
