. The Reason Gold Leaves Us.
To begin, whatever money is paid by
Americans to European nations must be
“paid in gold. They will not take our
national bank notes. They, being gold
countries, will not take our silver. Five
billion dollars of foreign capital is
«we in this country in various
w yo; and the best authorities calcu-
late that the interest, dividends, profits,
“6., we must pay annually to Europe
‘amouut to at least $150,000,000. That
much gold outflow is accounted for. The
experts from this great country are
shipped in foreign vessels, vessels owned
in Europe, thanks to our obsolete navi-
gation laws! The money for all ireights
must therefore bepaid in gold again.
These freight charges foot up annually
$100,000,000 more.
Besides this sum American tourists
spend every year in Europe $100,000,-
000. We are very kind to contribute
that money each year to the support ct
European hotel and shop keepers, but
the result is that our government has to
, ,/ borrow back at a round interest the
said we have given to Europe. The fig-
ures in this estimate are item a paper by
”alike! Beideihach in The Forum and
s. w. have ' y compiled. There is
than $850, 000,000 that we pay in gold
to Europe. To oilset it we have only
our expert of grain and local products,
for which Europe pays as gold. Last
year the balance of trade was in our in-
va! to the amount of $204,000, 000. But
the difl’erenee llt'le’i’ll $204,000, 000
and ”50,000,000 is $56,000,000 against
us. That still remains to be paid every
year to Europe, and that is where the
sold goes and why it gin-s.
Religion In Germany.
Genuany will be a good place to get
away from, and that quickly. if the bill
which Dr. Rintelcn will try to have meo-
ed in the reichstag should in-como law.
Dr. Binteleu proposed to punish with a
line of 3150 and imprisonment for two
yeareanybody who in a public speech or
writing denies the existence o! the
Deity or the immortality oi the soul.
His bill will likewise mute out the same
sentence to anybody who shall attack
' the religious r 'mtuctcr of the marriage
relation, whai‘ivcr the doctor may nn~an
by that.
The intruders of the American repub-
lic were (or wiser, though they lived
ever a hundred years ago. They left
reverence for the Deity and belief in the
_. immortality oi the soul to each tnan's
individual taste and conscience. The re.
stilt is that nowhere in civilization are
there more truly devout and religious
people than the A Incricans. ing con-

ttructicn period in the south. Thelerge
events that happens a few years ago
are shown by the things treated in these
opening chapters. We are surprised
that they are so many, and we have
tekeusollttle note of them. Among
the topics are the following: "Growth
at Urban Population," "The China»
go Fire," “Downfall oi the Tweed
Ring,” ”The Ku Klux Klan," "The
Alabama Claims” and “Black Friday."
We have scarcely realized until Prev
the great growth of our city population
has come since the war. The beautiful
large cities are recent growths. too, and
they owe their existence to the inven-
tion of the street car. New more than
ever they will increase, since the trolley
is operating all over the country.
Most picturesque is the description of
the Chicago lire. Dr. Andrews recalls
lo the reader how the first morning alter
the fire a real estate dealer knocked to-
gether a frame shanty and nailed across
it this sign, “William D. Kerioot, all
gone but wife. children and " energy. ”
The Sunday after the fire Robert Collyer
preached to his congregation standing
upon the ashes that marked the spot
where his church had been.
Among the illustrations to the article
are various portraits and caricatures of
25 years ago. It brings up with a sharp
turn one who remembers a quarter of a
century back to see how old timey these
pictures look already. There is in the col-
lection a genuine picture of Bees Tweed,
which will be the only likeness except
numerous caricatures which many per-
sons have seen. One is rather taken
aback to see how strong a general re-
semblance this authentie portrait oi
William M. Tweed bears to someoi our
American senators and statesmen oi the
present day. There. too, is the strong,
melancholy face of Frederick Douglass
At the time these papers were written
the indomitable old man was yet with
)he living. A conference of Douglass
with President Grant is mentioned by
Dr. Andrews in the famous story of how
the United States lost Saute Domingo.
Much is to be said in favor of long
terms of imprisonment lor criminals.
Whisky is responsible for a large pro
portion of the crimes committed. Long
sentences keep the convict away from
alcohol for a period sufficient in some
cases to destroy the craving for alco-
hol. It is certain that if they had the
chance many convicts would be glad to
become respectable members of 4society
at the close of their sentences. Long
tonne, with prison keepers chosen not
(or belonging to a given political party,
but because of genuine capacity to help
the vicious to a better life, Would at
least be the first step toward permanent-
ly ridding society of some of its Worst
pests. Much more athmticnought to be
paid to the moral and educational at-
mosphere which prison guards and jail-
ere throw around those in their charge.
I‘he habit of drunkenness might often
be as effectually broken up in convicts as
it was in the case of an English woman
whose husband appeared in court one
day and thanked a judge with all his
heart for sentencing his wile for a long
term in prison. “It changed her from a
drunlwn scold to a stemly, sober woman
whom it is a pleasure to live with, "
said the husband.
The return to Paris of Henri Roche
lort, old, white haired, but with his in-
domitable spirit not yet broken, was an
event of rejoicing to his followers, and
they are still many. Unlike most ilcrco
anarchists and radicals. Rocltelort has
had sense enough to get some money.
During his exile he showed more finan-
cial talent than one would have given
him credit tor. He became a dealer in
works of art and mode a good proiit on
them. He also wrote constantly and got
good pay for it. Besides that the ab-
sence from Paris enabled him to go to
bed early and takocare of his health. if
he had remained in Paris, he would not
probably have acquired either money or
health. The exile was in all respects a
real blessing to him. It does people“
whose brains are on lire great good to go
hay by themselves and meditate and
