It is encouraging to note that scandal: concerning ministers aud churches nc longer monopolize the columns devoted to religious matters. Another remarka¬ ble fact is that the greatest number ol books published last year in this country, next to works of fiction, were on religious subjects, while a large proportion of the novels also were written with religious aims. No subject occupies so large a place in current thought as that which concerns men’s relations with God and their future destinies, and no other sub-^ )oct is so steadily increasing its hold od public attention.” 2SS In its career of more than seven cen turies, ’ the Corporation ‘ of London has “ , iai , . . , , e v ,l 1 * u u a num er o pecu iat men, states the New York Times, but the present Lord Mayor, Joseph Savory, f oems to be more kinds of an nss than i* usual, *ven among city Aldermen.

In place of sin, crime and misery being happiness in existence, peace, plenty and would be the condition of this nation. Each of you think the mono- olios that domina'e in your section are the greatest. If you examine carefully you will find the same robbing principle runs through all of them. The national banking system is the daddy and mammy of all of them. It dominates all of them. Other monopolies only dominate a certain thing or article as the Standard does the oil. The national banks dominate and control all others. In fact, and in short, dominates production The . of all kinds. land is the source from which a’l wealth is produced. Labor is the means changed. If so, then the logical deduc¬ tion is, that amount of money in actual circulation in a country regulates the price of labor, labor products, and all property. It being the only means by which wealth is exchanged, and the legal means to pay debts. If so, then there is no question so vital, of so much import ance to the people of a country as the control of the volume of money. The power to inflate or contiact it is certainly a great power to place in the hands of any man or set of men. The power to say when you may work, the power to put a price on your labor, or the products of your labor, your farm, your grain, horses, sheep, hogs and cattle. This power the national banks have, the power to control the volume of money, to contract or in flate as their interest may dictate. As they are organized, it is your duty (o organize; and you have done so. Will you now* sustain this organization? If so, you must be faithful and steadfast to the end - Sc The following is a quotation from an interview with Jerry Simpson: “Now, in the south the democrats declare the Farmers'Alliance is in with the republi cans, and in the north the republicans declare we are nothing but democrats.

BLAINE’S ANSWER To Premier Rudini’s Note Re¬ garding 1 Indemnity. in Secretary Blaine’s long expected letter April answer 2, to Marquis Rudini’s note of was delivered Wednesday to Marquis Washington. Imperial'!, The Charge d’Affairs at reply, which is a lengthy and exhaustive document, con tains internal evidence that this govern¬ ment has hot bc«n threatened if an an¬ swer was delayed, or of disregard for ruch threat if it were made in the leis¬ urely manner in which he states that the president “has taken full time for con siderafion” of the treaty questions in¬ volved. It is also noticeable that the secretary promptly checks the attempt made by Rudini to commit the United States to a promise to pay indemnity by pointing to the guarded language of his first dispatch and indulging in a number of qualifications, the purpose of which is to requite a demonstration of several mat¬ ters that may be very bard to demon ¬ strate. Such for instance, is the fact required to be legally shown that the Louisiana officials connived at the killing of the Italians, or that they purposely failed to perform their duties. It is also significant that the secretary has so far found small authority for the assumption in some quarters that the United States may prosecute the guilty parties in its own department tribunals, but it appears that the of justice is still wrestling with the problem.

DUNS REVIEW Of the Condition of Trade for the Past Week. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “It cannot be said that the business of the country is expanding when thero is a decrease of nearly one sixth within a single month in the output of pig ‘iron. In nearly all quarters the admitted slackening of trade is at¬ tributed to merely temporary causes, but the state of the iron trade cannot be thus explained, and while it may at any time change for the better, it is at present an unfavorable symptom. Anthracite and coke furnaces were producing April 1st 102,898 tons weekly, against 123,030 tons March 1st; 171,108 tons December 1st, and 107,670 tons a year ago. The iron trade is very dull, and some southern furnaces weakening as to price. Another olement which may prove of great, though temporary body importance, is the decision of a great of miners to strike May 1st for the eight-hour day. At New Orleans trade is quiet; at Mem¬ phis caution rules, but at Savannah tho prospect is bright, and there is an im¬ provement at Jacksonville. In general, speculative markets are rather inert, and the general average price is now 2 per cent lower than it was two weeks ago. The movement of wheat, flour and corn falls far below last year’s. The' returns of foreign trade for March apv loars to iii dicat# an excess of about $7,000,000 ex¬ ports over imports, enlarge but exports cannot be expected to from this time forward. The stock market decidedly improved most of tho week, with good railroad earnings and prospects of easy monoy, but has since growm weaker, though still averaging about $1.37 per share higher of than a week ago. Probably tho fear important labor troubles has some influ¬ ence, the state of great industries is just new altogether encouraging. Failures for the week number 211; for the corresponding week of last year the figures were 170. Boggs’ Liver Pills Arc put up in two sizes, large and small.
