recently been called to a pastorate iu
Washington. His

been favored with
but small audi

principally of men

rnained loyal to the old church even
though now surrounded largely by
business houses. A marvelous change,
however, has suddenly come over this
time-honored landmark, and to-day the
First Presbyterian church of Washing
ton, owing to the wondrous eloquence of
it- newly installed pastor, is every Sun

hom stand there frequently hours in

in hopes of being able to wedge their

People all over the country are won

changing his Brooklyn residence for a
Louse in Washington, has actually di
vorced' himself from all connection with
the east. Dr. Talmage was recently in

WHAT IS THE MATTEE
EX - CONGRESSMAN BARTINE
MAKES A LUCID PLEA.
Ths Demonetization of Silver In 1873
Has Reduced Yalaes Just One-i:U
If Good Times Return to Us It Will
Be Through Bimetallism.
He who does not appreciate the fact
that the industrial and business situa
tion is unnatural and unsatisfactory,
must be a careless observer indeed.
Everybody knows that in 1893 this
country was struck by a financial cy
clone that hac never been equaled in
its history. Money vanished from
6ight,' and credit utterly collapsed.
Factories closed, mines suspended, mil
lions of honest workmen were turned
idle into the streets. Business was
completely paralyzed, and everything
was at a standstill except the produc
tion of the bare necessities of life.'
Even these were sold at prices ruinou3
to the producer, and the hardest kind
of hard times held the nation and its
people in a grasp of iron. With its se
verity only slightly abated, this condi
tion has lasted until the present time.
What was the cause?
The republican protectionist general
ly claimed that it was the advent of the
democratic party to power upon a free
trade platform. Some of them inti
mated that the "Sherman law" may
have been a very slight factor in de
stroying public confidence, but all in
sisted that the main cause was the
threat of free trade.
Mr. Cleveland and the gold wing of
the democratic party took the position
broadly that while high protection was
In a degree responsible, the chief cause
was that "infamous measure" known
as the "Sherman law."
The United States government was
adding about $4,000,000 a month to the
currency in treasury notes based upon
silver bullion, and this addition to the
money supply was actually (so it was
Baid) producing a money famine. These
notes were of full par value, sometimes
even commanding a small premium,
and yet it was seriously urged that the
people had no confidence in them;
which lack of confidence had plunged
us Into financial convulsions.
We were told in the most dogmatic
way that the repeal of that law would
immediately restore confidence, stop
the exports of gold, and send a flood
tide of prosperity rolling over the land.
The whole power of the administration
was brought to bear to force the repeal.
The democratic party broke in two un
der the pressure. The republicans
voted strongly with the gold wing of
the democracy, and the last vestige of
legislation sustaining and upholding
silver as a money metal was swept from
the statutes of the United States.
Two years have passed since then,
and still the flood-tide of prosperity
lags on its way. It is not pretended
by anybody at this time that the repeal
of the "Sherman law" restored pros
perity. But it is loudly proclaimed
that good times are now coming by
leaps and bounds. This, however, is
merely a prediction, and it may be laid
tenderly away with many others com
ing from the same source, for future
consideration.
The question recurs, then, What was
the cause of the great panic of 1893?
The trouble with the reasoning of the
gold sophists was that they took too
narrow a view of the situation. The
financiers and business men of New
York, oppressed by the difficulties
which surrounded them, looked only at
the immediate present, forgetting that
during the previous four or five years
almost every civilized country on earth
had passed through the same ordeal.
For years the storms of financial dis
aster had been sweeping over Europe,
shaking the Bank of England to its
foundations, and carrying desolation
even Into far-off Australia. Finally it
burst in all its fury upon us. The
shock was heavier here than in any
other country, because of the enormous
magnitude of our productive enter
prises and the extent to which they are
conducted upon the basis of credit.
The United States is in fact the great
est of all debtor nations.
Our gold went abroad, not because
we were purchasing silver, but because
other nations, driven to extremity, had
to have the gold.
It is commonly assumed by the oppo
nents of silver that everything was all
right In a monetary way until about
the beginning of 1893. This shows a
very superficial understanding of the
real situation. The truth is, and it is
recognized by every leading economist
on both sides of the Atlantic and upon
both sides of the silver question, that
the entire period from 1873 down to
1893, with only temporary spurts of ap
parent prosperity, had been one of ex
traordinary business depression. In
1886 the Queen of England appointed a
commission to investigate the situa
tion, and after the most exhaustive re
search the commission made its report,
in which It was shown that nearly every
Industry in the United Kingdom was
In a most grievously depressed and un
healthy condition; that vast numbers
of workmen were unemployed, and that
the prices of nearly all the staple prod
urls of the country had so fallen that
there was almost no profit in business.
It was also observed as significant facts
Is
a a.
x v.?
that this depression had set in about
the year 1873 and that it existed in all
the leading commercial nations, differ
ing only in degree. The United States
commissioner of labor in his annual re
port ifor that year (1886) adverted to
the same state of facts, and laid stress
upon the circumstance that while Eng
land had been the greatest sufferer, this
country stood second on the list in the
order and extent of the depression.
The most conspicuous feature of this
strange condition was the circumstance
(denied by nobody) that nearly all of
the great staples of commerce had lost
about one-third of their money value.
This decline has continued until now
the wholesale prices of commodities in
general are from 40 to 50 per cent be
low those of 1873. It surely requires
no argument to show that business de
pression must inevitably follow a
steady and general fall of prices. The
orists may talk airily about the beauty
I of cheapness, but no practical business
man ever yet gathered comfort from a
fall in the price of the goods in his
hands. Nor has any producer ever
been benefited by a cheapening of his
product A fall of prices means re
duced profits. Reduced profits mean,a
curtailing of expenses. This in turn
means a discharge of employes, a cut
ting of wages, and retrenchment in
every possible way. Discharged em
ployes and those who have suffered f
i eduction of wages, must themselves
economize, and in some cases they be
came an actual burden upon others.
So the effects sDread from one individ-
j ual to another and from one industry
to another until the whole community
feels the blight. Sooner or later con
stantly falling prices are ce-tain to pro
duce a financial crash. All debts must
be ultimately paid out of products, and
if the prices fall too much the debts
simply cannot be paid. When the crash
does come it is bound to be a severe
one, because It strikes people at a time
when their ability to pay has already
been crippled by the low prices of what
they have to sell. When the storm
finally clears away it is found that mul
titudes of struggling debtors have been
ruined, that tens of thousands of small
estates have been wrecked, while a few
gigantic fortunes have been built up
at the money centers, which always
protect themselves at the expense of
everybody else:
It is worthy of note in this connection
that the period from 1850 to 1870 was
one of almost universal progress and
prosperity. During that period prices,
upon an average, rose about 20 per cent.
But since then the whole aspect of af
fairs has been changed. Instead of
continuing to rise, or even remaining
stationary, the trend has been ever
downward, the fall amounting to more
than 40 per cent.
Now, it is clear that about the year
1873 something took place that affected
values and business in an extraor
dinary way.
It is equally clear that it must have
been something of a very general char
acter to affect so many different na
tions and peoples so far removed from
each other. What was It? Was the
industrial system of the world revolu
tionized by the invention of machin
ery? Certainly not. Everybody who
can read ought to know that inventions
and improvements in machinery had
been going on with great activity for
more than half a century before that
date, and that the improvements have
been no greater since.
Were methods of transportation so
changed as to produce any marked ef
fect? The answer must again be. No!
Even then we had nearly 80,000 miles
of railroad in the country, and the
ocean was bridged by lines of steamers.
The most rigid scrutiny will bring to
light just one thing that occurred 'in
1873 which was calculated to materially
affect the general business and finances
of the world.
The standard of value was changed
by the demonetization of silver.
No amount of fine-spun theories, spe
cial pleading, or juggling with words
will dispose of the cold historic fact
that in 1873 the United States and Ger
many both demonetized silver and
adopted the gold standard. That such
action on the part of these two nations
largely increased the demand for gold
and correspondingly enhanced its value
must be obvious to any person who does
not blindly close his eyes to the .great
economic law of "supply and demand."
Gold being made the standard, and its
value rising under the increased de
mand, other values which were meas
ured in gold fell in exact proportion.
Other nations followed the example of
the United States and Germany, gold
rising higher and higher with the ever- j
increasing demand, and prices falling
lower and lower as gold went up. j
In 1878 the Bland-Allison act was ;
passed, under which 2,000,000 silver j
dollars were coined each month.' For
a time the fall in prices was checked, j
but other elements of currency con
traction were at work and the decline
soon began again. In 1890 the "Sher- j
man law" was passed, by which some- j
thing over $4,000,000 was added to the
currency each month, and again came :
a slight advance of prices. But finan- ;
cial troubles were abroad. The great
house of Baring had just failed, the
Bank of England was in imminent dan
ger, and nearly every monetary center
of Europe was struggling for gold. As
before stated, the United States was the
greatest debtor nation in the world. It
also had a larger stock of gold than any
other except France. England, in her
distress, unloaded great blocks of
American securities and took away
from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 of our
gold. Thus the storms from other
countries converged upon us, ana we
were compelled to withstand their com
bined shock. Wall street was in dis
tress, and was appealing to the United
States treasury for help.
Such was the monetary stringency
that for a time that great money cen
ter nearly forgot its opposition to sil- i
ver.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Bedroom Rags.
A pretty little amateur artist has
made for herself a pair of charming"
bedroom rugs. The material is bur
laps, lined with old carpets, to give it
body- The design is taken from the
motif of the wall paper, and represents
timothy grass, redtop and clovers,
painted in shades of olives, tans, browns
and old pink, the colors greatly diluted,
so as to give a printed, rather than a
painted effect. Golden and brown but
terflies are poised here and there, and
a busy bumble bee almost buzzes, head
down, m a great clover bloom.
The rugs are edged with a flax
fringe, in the shade of the burlap. In
painting grasses and leaves a mistake
frequently made by amateurs is to have
them all too much of a color. i?hade
effects should be introduced by having
those at the back in faint grays, and in
much lighter tones of all the colors
used.
" The Fashionable Magpie Contrast.
' The magpie contrast, which is the

crown is of white satin felt, the tiny
strips being braided in basket fashion.
The narrow brim is of softly -twisted
black velvet, cut out at the baek so
that the hair shows below, while there
are falling over it two of the long,
hornlike-shaped rosettes so much fan
cied, daintily made of fine duchesse
lace. A narrow twist of white satin is
just above the velvet at the edge of the
crown, and on one side there stands up
a ten-inch white pompon, while on the
other is a star-shaped buckle of Rhine
stones. Velvet ties come with this bon
net. I Deafness Can Not Be Curea

j How to Set Up a Christmas Tree.
i As generally set up the Christmas
tree is a rather shaky affair, top-heavy,
and in constant danger of being tipped
over when it is touched. If yon want
a substantial base for it, but one that
will allow of its being moved easily
without any danger of its being upset,
go to some hardware store and borrow
a set of stove trucks. Cover them with
boards fastened securely to their
frames. In the center make a hole
large enoug to admit the base of your
tree. Fasten strips of wood from each
corner of the trucks to the tree, in such
a manner as to brace it firmly in place.

THE COMING YEAR, yon will, no donbt, decide on securing the best, especially if the best costs less than
something' inferior, both in quality and quantity. The Omaha Bee, altvays to the front of the
newspapers in the west, has lonjr been recognized as one of the leading- publications in the country. It
has done more, and is now doing1 more, toward upbuilding- the great west, than any other p: oer.
About two years ag-o its publishers, determined to bring- The Weekly Bee into every farmhouse in the
west, especially in its own state and the states immediately adjoining- Nebraska, put the price down 10
65 Cents Ver year an unheard of fipure for a 12-pajre weekly publication. This pr;ce still prevails. Not
content with this, the publishers of The Bee cast about for some additional first class publication of national
reputation, to offer with The Bee at a price that would not exceed the figure usually charged for a single
weekly paper. Last year the New York Tribune, (Horace Greeley's paper) was secured, and this paper was
offered with the Weekly Bee for 90 CenlS per year. A similar arrangement has been made this year. In
addition, & similar contract has been made with the Cincinnati Enquirer, a paper that ranks as high among the
Democratic publications of this country as the New York Tribune does among- the Reputlican newspapers.
