However, all legal tender money, ex cept gold, is redeemable in gold, as ad- ! mitted by Secretary Carlisle last week, which makes the following alteration: I llatio of currency —$1 to §BO of debt. ; If it were possible that all the gold in the world could ho brought to the j United States, and coined into American J money, the people of this country would still be unable to pay their debts.

If it were possible that all the gold and silver in the world could be brought 1 to the United States, and coined into ! American money, the people of thi country would still be unable to pay their debts. Mr. Carlisle's estimate of the amount of silver in the world is $3,820,571,340, which, added to the known gold, makes a total of $7,547,- 580,215. Ratio of currency—sl to $0.50 of debt. ' Summed up briefly, it is seen that the people of the United States owe 532 for each $1 of money in tho country, but. since the greater part of our currency i only token money, they really owe SBO for each $1 they own. If we had all the j gold in the world we would still owe sl3 j for each $1 owned, and, with all tin gold and silver in the world, $0.50 would j be owed for each $1 owned. Those figures are taken from govern- ! mont documents, and are. therefore, offi cial. We present them to our readers, without comment, for their earnest con sideration, especially to such as are en gaged in business and know what a scarcity of money means. We will cheerfully give space to the opinion of any man who can find in these official j figures any argument why the primary I money of the country should he confined to gold. A Queer Change of Mind. The following i> a verbatim extract from an address at the Lincoln Day ! banquet, in Memorial hall. Toledo, Ohio, j February 12, 1891. "During all of Grovcr Cleveland's j leads at the head of the government ho was dishonoring one of our pre cious metals, one of our own great i products, descreditlng -liver and en hancing the price of gold. IL> en deavored, oven before his inauguration to office, to stop the coinage of silver dolllars and afterwards, and to the end of Hi is administration, persistent ly used his power to that end. lie was determined to contract the circulating medium and demonetize one of the coins of commerce, limit the volume of money among the people, make money scarce, and therefore dear.

He had left 'their side.' I lie was not 'standing forth in their de fense.* Cheap coats, cheap labor, and dear money. The sponsor and pro moter of these professing to stand guard over tlie welfare of the poor and lowly! Was there ever more inconsistency or WHO IS MR. HOBART? \ Little Light Shed Upon the Republican j Candidate far Vice President. From tho New York' Journal. "The coal trust conspiracy," a local anti-Bryan newspaper informs its read ers. "is criminal at common law even if there were no statutes against it." And in a high vein of righteous wrath it inquires, "What is the attorney gen oral's occasion for sparing lawbreak ers whose lawlessness cripples industry and impoverishes the people? What is he afraid of? What is the occult reason for his inactivity?" l'orhaps the attorney general is aware that one of the chief parties to the criminal conspiracy known as tho coal trust is the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad Company, and that Garret A. Hobart, the Republican nominee for vice president of the I nited States, is a director of that company, and therefore one of the responsible organizers of the trust. More than that, as general counsel for the corpora tion. he took an active part in formulat ing tho agreement which now enables a few men to rob consumers of coal on one band and its miners on the other. Attorney General Hancock, being a well-informed man, is doubtless cogni zant of these facts. Being a partisan Republican, he is supporting Mclvinley and Hobart. Finally, being possessed <if average common sense, he doubtless understands that it would be ridiculous for him to urge Mr. Ilobart's election to tho second place in tho people's gift and at the same time bring civil or criminal action against him and liis associates as lawbreakers. Whoever aids the election of Mclvin ley and Hobart helps not only one trust, but scores of them. More de nunciation of trusts without attack on their great political representatives won't do. "America's Successful Men," volume 11. just published by tho Tribune Asso ciation, of New York, gives a rather in teresting sketch of Garret A. Hobart. the Repuplican candidate for vice presi dent. It asserts that no other citizen of New Jersey is interested in a greater number of corporations than is Mr. Ho bart. In substantiation of this asser tion it says: "Mr. Ilobart is president of the Pas saic Water Company, supplying the city of Paterson; the Acquackanok Water Company, supplying the city of Passaic; the Morris County Railroad and the Paterson Electric Railway. He is a di rector of the Dundee Water Power and Land Company, the New York, Susque hanna and Western Railroad, the Le high and Hudson River Railroad, the First National bank of Paterson, the Paterson Savings institution, the Liber ty National bank of New York, the Har bour Flax Spinning Company, the Har bour Hros.'

The above attack upon the president of the United States is not from the lips of Governor Algcld, Senator Tillman nor Candidate Byran. The author and speaker on that occasion was William Mclvinley, the present Republican can didate for the office now occupied by Grovcr Cleveland. Today he stands upon a platform which endorses the fi nancial policy of Cleveland and demands a continuance of the same, and he has given his pledge that that policy shall be his policy. What can voters think of a man, one who professes to be a -talesman, who sacrifices honor, prinei j pie and the good of his country to bc i coitio the candidate of the molded cliques of the world? Honest men everywhere must distrust him and scorn I his leadership. The sentiment for silver is growing -teadily day by day in Luzerne county, and what is being done in Luzerne is j being done in all other parts of the country. Men who are open to convic tion, and such men are growing in num bers every year, find it impossible to resist the arguments which Bryan and his followers give them. Tho man who will reason and endeavor to learn the right side or wrong side of any question , may he safely trusted to do what is ! proper, and those are the kind of men who are on silver's side. The man who snarls "I'm for gold," and cannot tell why, is a mere slave to party prejudice and deserves to bo compelled to endure a gold standard all his life. On Jul) 2, 1891, John Bardsley was sentenced to fifteen years in the peni tentiary and to pay a line of $237,530. He was set free by Governor Hastings lon Tuesday. He is a gold man. MY MOTHER.

A startled cry from Yiardot, who, at a short distance on the top of a great rock \lus watching his companion, Ber nard, crawling up the steep cliff to wards a dark cavern midway to the top. The two young men were spend ing the summer in the wilds of the Kooky mountains. They had been graduated from college in June of the same year, and w ere "roughing it" dur ing the summer months to build up constitutions that were somewhat the worse for a year of unusually hard study; for both men were conscientious students and preparing in earnest for the battle of life. In physical appear ance and temperament they were al most the exact opposite of each other, yet they had been the most intimate of chums during the entire college course, differing often in their views, yet never having a serious falling-out. Bernard was a quick, wiry, stumpy little fellow of live feet four, with straight, black, close-cropped hair and smooth-shaven face. His small roguish eyes were set deeply in his head under shaggy brows; his nose had Ik l en called "stubby" by a classmate who had been passed in the race by him, and his mouth, generously proportioned, was of the "laughing" variety. He was as active as a cat and, when, in good physical trim, quite an athlete. Withal, Bernard was decidedly venturesome, and during their summer outing his quiet, more phlegmatic companion was kept busy restraining his impetuosity and heading off reckless adventures. Yiardot, tall and slender, required ex actly live feet eleven and three-quarters inches of the tape to take his measure. I lis luxuriant yellow hair caressed his high forehead and his neck with grace ful curls. A pink-and-white complex ion was matched with large blue eyes and his features were regularity itself. When the two chums landed at the ranch where they first stopped, they were loaded with rifles, rods and cam eras, blankets and saddles, and all the paraphernalia supposed to complete the outfit of a Rocky mountain tourist party. Bernard liked to hunt, but he liked still better to take choice shots with another pet instrument, his camera, There was no risk that he wouldn't run to make a choice negative. "That photographer's box of your#: will get you into your wooden overcoat yet," exclaimed Yiardot one day, after Bernard had fallen out of a pine tree into which he had climbed to get a fa vorable focus on a silvery cascude. But Bernard was small and tough, and laughed merrily ut his companion's warning. The. two finally pitched their camp in a wild canyon, miles from any human habitation and infrequently visited by white men. There were roaming In dian hunters seen occasionally, but a* they wc re reported to be peaceable nc fears of them were entertained. "If we are going to rough it," said Yi ardot, philosophically; "if we are going to get away from the conventionalities and turmoil of the city, let us get as fai away as we can." And so the two col login ns traveled three days' journey from the hospitable ranch before they found u spot primeval and remote enough to suit their fancy. They had been in camp four days and ivere beginning to feel comfortably al home, when n trio of prospectors came along, looking for traces of gold in tlu sands of the mountain stream. They were invited to stay for supper, and aft erward rolled themselves in theii blankets and slept soundly out unh'ei the stars. After supper the five men sat around the big fire of pine boughs, and passed several pleasant hours in telling yarn? of adventure and funny stories, am singing college songs. During the even ing it was divulged by the miners thai they had seen a couple of mount aii lions about three miles down tin stream. "The varmints saw us A " exclaimed one swarthy prospector, "before any of us could snatch a gun, und jumped into n cave up on the cliff." "I'd give a fifty to plunk a bullet through one of them," exclaimed Yinr dot. "Wouldn't 1 be a lion myself if I could take back the hide of his lordsh'.p Quinqunjon! Felis Concolor would be a matchless ornament to my 'den' in New York." "You can have the pelt if you'll on'y let me get a snap shot at him with my rapid rectilinear," rejoined Bernard. "The triumph of taking home the pelt of a dead lion sinks into insignificance when compared with the glory of pho tographing a live cougar on liis native heath. Think of it, man: I would be | immortal if 1 could walk into the art ! institute at home and exhibit a photo of i this wild monarch of the canyon stand | ing in the doorway of his residence ! waving a cordial welcome with his tail!" "You'd git chawed into sausage 'fore , ever y' could work the trigger uv yer S box," remarked the other miner, poking his nearest companion in the ribs with I his elbow. j "Well, I'll risk it," retorted Bernard. ! "Big game is worth a big rusk." j "You'll do nothing of the kind," : snapped Viardot. "I'll see to it that you i stay with me, gun in hand, at a re sjiectful distance, when we go t<o look up those sly cots." The conversation on this particular subject was dropped by the party after the college boys had asked for and re ceived a minute description of the place where the lions had been seen. Bernard said nothing more that night, about lions or snap shots, but he turned in for a snooze with a mental res ervation. | 11 was two hours after sunrise the fol - low ing morning when Viardot, tired bv a long tramp the preceding day, awoke from his sound slumber, lie rubbed his eyes, and, without turning over, ex claimed : "I say, old boy—" There was no response, nnd when Vi ardot shifted his position so as to com mand a view of his surroundings, no one was in sight. "•Now, where in the deuce do you suppose that fellow is?" he ejaculated, addressing some imaginary personage. Then he arose and took an inventory of the tent. Bernard's hat and rifle were gone. "Yes, and his camera, too," growled Viardot. Then a sudden idea struck him. "The lions! He's gone to photograph those beasts!" he fairly yelled. His anxiety for the safety of his com panion w as so great that he forgot his breakfast, and, snatching his rifle and revolver belt, started on a run down the canyon. After a rapid chase of three miles, he THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHANCE HAD COME AT LAST. ! approached the cliff designated l.y the ! prospectors. At length he spied an ! opening in the rocks which answered ; the description of the lion's den. Still i no sound and no sign of his com panion. Across a deep chasm from the mouth of the den was anot her j>oint of rock, steep, but still accessible to the climber. Yiardot decided to climb this point of rock, feeling assured that Bernard was somewhere near. lie had almost reached the top, when ! suddenly a slight movement in the ! bushes on the opposite cliff caught his I eye. Behind them crouched a long ! lithe, tawny animal, slowly and with I cat-like action swaying its long furry ; tail. The animal was evidently prepar j ing to spring upon some creature. 1 "What if it should be Bernard?" ! The question flashed across Yiardot\s I mind, and completely took away his breath. He had half expected some j such denouement as this, yet he was not > j prepared for the reality, i Almost at the same instant he caught | sight of a familiar tigure crawling la ! boriously up the cliff side. Itwasßer ! card, all unconscious of the presence of the fierce brute crouching above him : awaiting his advance a little nearer be fore making the fatal spring. Then it ; was that Yiardot emitted that blood . curdling scream: j "Look out!—he's going to jump!" I The great leonine eat, startled by the sound, sprang up and glared at the new ! intruder, safe on the opposite roelc, ' showed his glistening whit fangs. ; arched his back, and with cat-like hiss, i quickly turned and slunk away behind a great bowlder. Yiardot was so excited that lie forgot he had a rifle, and it ■ was not until the beast had disappeared that he bethought himself of his trusty S un ' . J "You idiot!" he yelled at Bernard; "I believe you would crawl right into that den. That cat was ready to spring down on you." Bernard stood and stirred at him, but failed to make any apologies for his rashness. "Wish I'd caught a focus on him," he said ruefully, when the two had slid and scrambled back to level ground. Viardot saw that it was useless to remonstrate with him; so he agreed to go with him next morning and en deavor to first photograph and then shoot the lion or lions from the opposite cliff. This was a favorable point for such an operation, and was compara- safe. The next morning they started at daylight,but although they watched for hours they failed to catch a glimpse of the wild beasts. The third morning they again made the trip in vain, and the fourth, and fifth. Not a sign of the game did they see. Viardot wanted to give up the chase, but the photographic instinct was too I strong in his companion. "I'll get'em if I don't do anything else I this summer," he said doggedly; and Viardot succumbed to fate. The sixth morning they reached their | lofty perch on time and waited, with j eyes glued on the entrance of the den | across the chasm. Bernard arranged his camera, care fully screwed up the exact focus on the ! cavern's mouth, and sat down with | the bulb of the Instantaneous shutter i in his palm, ready to squeeze it at an | instant's notice. Viardot took his station ten feet | awa.v, resting his rifle barrel on a ledge ; of granite in front of him, and training | the muzzle on the den. As it would nol ! do to make an audible signal, he tier l a long cord to Bernard's ankle and. drawing it taut, held the other end in ! his hand. \ A half hour later Bernard's heart al ; most jumped out of his mouth when j he sow a tawny head poked out of the j cave. At the same instant he felt a I sharp tug on the cord, assuring him I that Viardot had made the same discov ery. Both men held their breath. Viar dot's finger was on the trigger-guard, llis rifle was cocked and his eye glanced along the steel barrel. Ber nard's eyes flashed fire. It was a mo ment of intense excitement-—an experi ence seldom met in a lifetime. The graceful tan-colored figure of the lion came fully into view, perfectly lined in the strong morning light against the dark background of the cave. "Shall I give it to him?" asked Ber nard of himself. Just, then he caught sight of another pair of ears —a head— a-pair of shoulders—und a second lion stood out in relief against the wall. The photographer's elianee had eonie at last. Click! went the lightning shutter. Bernard snatched his gun then jerked the cord twice. Crack! went Yiardot's rifle, and Ber nard's "spoke" the echo on the instant. "Hallelujah!" yelled Bernard, danc ing a elog on a big rock, j The hunters, having satisfied them selves flint both brutes were dead— ! their aim at such short range having been unerring—almost fell down the rooks and clambered up the opposite side in breathless haste. The dead lions were splendid specimens, the male measuring four feet and eight inches from nose to tip of tail. Bernard's negative turned out to be a | good one. "I wouldn't trade that one piece of glass for enough dead lions' skins to carpet Carnegie hall," he said. A. CARLISLE CARSON. Disposition Unified. "Who's that sour, melancholy-look ing man?
