The Bahamas formerly furnished the
main supply, which was carried in
small sailing vessels, taking from four
six days to reach this port, while un
favorable winds made a voyage of
twenty days not unusual. Most of the

signed to Baltimore, where they are
canned. As many as 5,r00.000 of these
pineapples have reached that city
within the past four years, and large
quantities are canned on the island.
Nearly all the Cuban pineapples come
to New York, lnm),000 barrels and more

These pineapples are all grown near

j FREE SILVER COINAGE
WHY OLD PARTYITES SHOULD
JOIN HANDS.
Eren to the Kxtent of (Solng Into the

Always Traitors.
are
Raymond E. Dodge, statistician for
the republican national committee,
has Just completed a careful analysis
of the probable silver strength in the
next democratic national convention
He estimates that the free coinage wing
will have at least 100 majority. This
would enable the silver men to frame
the platform, but they would lack the
requisite strength to name the candi
dates. In the democratic convention
it takes two-thirds to nominate, and if
the estimates of Mr. Dodge are correct,
and the gold men stand firm, they can
absolutely block a nomination. That
they will stand firm is almost certain.
The Influences behind goldite politi
cians are of such a character that they
seldom weaken. The power which
makes them, absolutely controls their
actions. . The gold power is one that is
thoroughly organized, it knows no
party fealty, and in the eastern states,
particularly, very few public men care
to defy It.
Should the silver men absolutely
dominate the convention there Is
scarcely a doubt that the gold standard
democrats would refuse to support the
ticket.
The action of the cuckoo democrats
In the Kentucky legislature is conclu
sive evidence that when the master
speaks they obey.
Kentucky democracy has always been
true to the silver cause. Until within
the last year there has never been a
shadow of a doubt that Kentucky was
a free silver state. But the malign in
fluence of Cleveland and Carlisle,
backed by the money power of Wall
street, has done Its work. We now
find a small contingent of that party in
the legislature, masquerading as "sound
money" men, and stubbornly refusing
to suport the regular nominee, Senator
Blackburn. That gentleman's democ
racy has never been questioned, and
he has guarded the interests of his con
stituents with rare fidelity. Up to the
! very moment of Mr. Cleveland s elec
tion, Blackburn and Carlisle were ap-
parently perfectly agreed on the silver
question, and their votes were cast on
the same side. Now we find a few dem
ocrats (?) In the legislature oposing his
re-election, because, forsooth, he stands
on the money question precisely where
he has always stood, and where Mr.
Carlisle seemed to stand, until certain
occult Influences caused him to change.
If goldite democrats In Kentucky will
thus stultify themselves. It Is safe to
conclude that the same class of men in
the national convention of that party
wil1 do likewise, and refuse to support
a silver candidate on a silver platform.
But Mr. Dodge suggests a compro
mise, the silver men taking the plat
form, and the gold men the candidate.
This would substantially be the case
of 1892 rISht over. More aptly, the
situation would be expressed by the old
gag, "the law to the north and the nie-
ger to the south."
A silver platform with a gold candi-
j date would be the worst thing that
i could happen.
Hundreds of thousands of silver dem
! ocrats would be deluded Into support
i Ing the ticket, and even If successful,
j no legislation in the interest of silver
' could possibly be had.
j But such a combination could not
win. Not a silver man outside the
' democratic party would suport it, large
j numbers of silver democrats would re
i fuse to be duped, and the party would
i be buried out of sight,
j Nothing would please republican
I leaders better than for the democrats
j to name a gold candidate on a silver
platform.
j Such a combination, though, is hard
i ly probable.
j The Incongruity is too great. No gold
standardist with any self respect
could accept a nomination on a straight
out silver platform. Some qualifying
phrase would have to go In. and that
would mean gold.
Silver Democrats will do well to view
the situation with the closest care. It
Is as pain as light itself that they can
not carry the country for free trade
or tariff reform in 1896, but they can
make combinations by which they can
win on the great question of monetary
reform. Will they be wise?

tributes it to two influences, (1) the long
three years' drouth which has pre
vailed so acutely over almost all sec
tions of the country; (2) the fact that
"the world's markets were glutted with
cereals, cotton, and other agricultural
produce." The fact that drouth cre
ates scarcity rather . than superabun
dance, does not fit in very well with
the allegation that the world's markets
have been glutted. That allegation,
however, is of itself without founda
tion. The world's supply of useful pro
ducts Is now, and it has always been,
insufficient for the needs of man. But
mpn who have desired the thincs pro
duced have been forbidden to obtain
them, because this government has ob
structed the movement from producer

comes poorer the more wealth it pro-
duces. If this were true we should be
able to reach a condition of outright
pauperism by stimulating wealth-production
just a trifle farther. No sane
man doubts that if half the world's
stock of gold should be suddenly ex
terminated prices of all commodities
would fall at least 60 per cent. Why,
then, should any one question the
equally indisputable fact that prices
have fallen because half the metallic
money of the civilized world has been
demonetized. The Manufacturer.
Such little Inconsistencies as the one
mentioned above should not surprise
the Manufacturer. Almost every ar
gument on the gold side is pervaded
with contradictions even worse.
In one breath free coinage is going to
"flood the country with 50 cent dol
lars," in the next it. Is going to "drive
all of the gold out of the country and it
will take a very long time to get silver
to fill its place. As a result free coin
age will contract the currency. Again
under free coinage the silver dollar Is
going right down to 50 cents, but the
dishonest silver miner is to get 100
cents for each 371V4 grains. Just how
the same dollar can be worth 100 cents
to the silver miner and only 50 cents
to other people they never try to ex
plain. So we have a flood or silver ana
contracted currency at the same time.
and the same Identical dollar worth 100
cents to the silver miner and only 50
cents to the "poor laborer" at the same
time, hard times caused by crop fail
ures and over-production at the same
time, and so Indefinitely.

a most peculiar thing.
FIXITY OF GOLD.
A Gold Staudard Taper I'ut Its
Neck
In the Intrinsic Value Halter."
A London financial circular says that
1896 has thus far improved greatly on
1S95, and will doubtless continue to do
so for a month to come and more, at
the least." For the various statistical
records for which the world has to
thank Mr. Sauerbeck, the Economist
and others, show that January and Feb
ruary, 1893, had, on an average of all
the wholesale prices of the chief articles
of commerce of the world, the lowest
prices on record. And this includes sil
ver, which moved, as usual, along with
all other commodities; only the price of
gold remained unaltered, as it always
does, because it was fixed fifty years
since by act of Parliament. Brad
street's. The foregoing appears In Bradstreet's
Issue of the 22d, and It Is reproduced for'
the purpose of calling attention to the
clause: "The price of gold re
mains unchanged because it was fixed
fifty years ago by act of Parliament."
What have our goldite friends to say
of that? What becomes of their "in
trinsic value" theory when viewed in
the light of that statement?
And it is one monetary truth that has
appeared In a gold paper. The value
of gold, that is, its value per ounce, ex
pressed In pounds, shillings and pence,
was fixed by the English Parliament in
1844. In "money" It Is worth just what
the law says It shall be worth.
Now, If law fixed the value of gold,
which the goldite assumes to be of a
superior nature and above all law, why
can it not fix the money value of
silver?
The reader will understand that we
are referring to the constantly reiter
ated parrot-like cry that a gold dollar
is always worth a dollar, and the gold
in it Is just as good as the dollar Itself.
So it is, and simply because the law
makes that piece of gold a dollar, and
It can be worth no less.
But It is the "money" value of gold
alone that is unchanged. Gold is al
ways equal to gold, but how Is it when
compared with anything else? Upon
an average It will exchange for twice
as much of other things as It would
twenty-two years ago, and if that does
not make it "worth twice as much,"
then there Is no meaning in words.
The simple little statement thus
clipped from Bradstreet's (a strong
gold organ) absolutely destroys every
argument that has been made In favor
of the gold standard during the last
twenty years.

Jesus is giving a series of personal and

The full text of today's lesson Is as follows:
19. There was a certain rich man. which
was clothed in purple and fine linen, and
fared sumptuously every day:
20. And there was a certain beggar named
Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of
sores,
?1. And rVsirfnp- to bo fed with the crumbs
which fell from th" rich mn's tabTe: more
over the dogs came and licked his sores.
22. And It came to pass, that the beggar
died, and was carried bv the angels into
Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died
and was burled.
23. And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being
In torments, and seeth Abraham afar off. and
Lazarus in his bosom.
24. And be cried out and said. Father
Abraham, have mercy on me. and send Laza
rus, that he may dip the tip of his finger

mented in this flame.
2.". Put Abraham sail. Pon. remember that

"nd likewise Lazarus evil things: but now
he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26. And beside all this, between us and
you there Is a great gulf fixed: so that they

neither can they pass to us. that would come
from thence.
father, that thou wouldst send him to my
father's house:
2S. For I have fire brethren: that he may
testify unto them, lest they also come Into
th's place of torment.
2?. Abraham saith unto him. They have
Voses and the prophets: let them hear them.
3rt. And he said. Vay. father Abraham:
but if one went unto them from the dead,
they will repent.
31. And he said unfo him. If they hear not
Moses and the prcphets. neither will they
be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Kxplanatlons to today's lesson follow:
19. "A certain rich man." Ills name Is
not elven. perhaps to show that in heaven's
estimation it has no worth. "Was clothed in
purple." Ills outer robe was made of silk or
wool dyed purple, very costly, and worn by
kings and heroes. "And fine linen." The un-der-garment.
or tunic, of fine linen. Godet. It
was made from the Egyptian byssus.a flax that
grew on the banks of the Nile. "And fared
sumptuously every day." Literally, "making
merry every day. splendidly." It Indicates
a life of banquets.
20. "Laid at his gate." The entrance from
"Laid at his gate." The entrance from the
the outside to the first court, "so that the rich
man saw the wretched object every time he
went In or out of his mansion." "Full of
sores." "Ulcerated all over," so that he could
do nothing to gain his living.
21. "And desiring." In the Greek the same
word is used of the prodigal who would fain
eat of the husks. He was eager; he set his
ardent desires upon "the crumbs which fell
from the rich man's table." Lazarus was not
where he could have picked them us as they
fell; he would share the leavings with the
dogs when all the garbage and remnants were
thrown out into the street, after the common
practice. Prof. I. Hall. "Moreover" (IC V.,
"yea even") "the dogs came." in strange con
trast with the other brute clothed in purple.
The dogs showed kindness where the rich man
was Indifferent.
22. "The beggar died." Nothing is said
of his burial, because probably his body "was
without honor thrown into a ditch." but his
soul, his real self, was "carried by the angels."
blessed bearers, glorious funeral train! "into
Abraham's bosom." the type of Paradise,
where Abraham was the host of a great feast
(Matt. xxil. 2; Rev. xlx. 7-9): and "to lie in
his bosom, as St. John in that of our Lord
(John xlii. 23). was to be there as the most
favored guest." Ellicott.
Compare the martyr throng clothed in white
and singing with the angels, who had come
out of great tribulation, but had "washed
their robes and made them white in the blood
of the Lamb" (Rev. vii). "The rich man
also died. . . . was burled." There is a
sublime irony in this mention of his burial,
connected as It is with what is immediately
to follow. Trench. The last service his
wealth could give him was a burial "crowned
with (he rain and extravagant pomp of his
life." with rich men and not angels for his
pall-bearers.
23. "And in hell" (R. V.. Hades). The un
seen world, including both the Paradise of the
good and Gehenna, "the hell of fire" for the
wicked. It was "the grave, the intermediate
condition of the dead between death and the
final Judgment." Cambridge nible. "Being iit
torments," "tormented in this flame." not
literal fire, for a spirit cannot be touched by
flame, bat "an anguish of soul as intolerable
as the touch of earthly flame is to the nerves
of the mortal body." Ellicott. "And seeth
Abraham afar off." So represented, because
both In condition and character they were
as far apart as possible. "And Lazarus In
Ms bosom." Reclining in honor at the ban
quet of bliss. G. W. Clark.
21. "And he cried and said." "We hav
reason to believe1 that in the unseen world
there Is not the came sense of distance as
there is in this." Sadler. "Father Abra
ham." for it was one of his descendants who
called, and felt that he had a right to. "Have
mercy on me." Abraham did have mercy on
him. of course. "Send Laiarus." whom he
saw near Abraham. ;rip the tip of his linger."
He asked the smallest possible favor, possibly
... nnonini for more. But what a fearful
contrast with his former state. "Cool my
tongue," that had been gratifled with so many
dainties; that had refused so many requests
for help, and spoken so many selfish words.
