A Soft Answer. |

OvR correspondent is in error when he infers that we attributed. the drunkenness pesvalent on the day. of the Scottish Gathering to the Caledonian Club. We ee blamed them for the drunkenness of Charlottetown. nor praised the: Carniva] ; Pomumnrttee for the comparative temperance Of Halifax.

Our correspondent is, also, in error when ,he infers that the rum shops of Charlotte- , town escaped THR Examrner’s notice. For ithe rum shops of Charlottetown, to .es- cape notice is impossible—their works are, unfortunately, made apparent every day and hour on our streets. ie

Asto drinking within the walls of the trotting park, Taz Examiner's statement was carefully guarded. It is possible, we admit, that the exhilarating or intoxicating fluids were smuggled into the park. Cer-

.,tainly, no one ever guspected that the

:leading members of the Caledonian Club were guilty of selling, or consenting to the sale of liquors on the park. What. we do say is that there were indications to justify a very strong suspicion that.intoxicants were sold in the park. We say further that if the Park Company desire that their invest- ment shall he a paying one, they will not permit or countenance the sale of liquor on their grounds. on a =

Dr. Bronar.

ee

Many of our readers will hear with sym-

.|pathetic regret of the death of the Rev.

Dr. Horatius Bonar, senior minister of the Grange Free Church(Chalmer’s Memorial), Edinburgh, better known inthe Christian world as a hymn writer of great ‘sweetness and power. Dr. Bonar was in his 81st year. Tt is about two years-aince he preached in hig church. Failing strength, with advanc- ing years, prevented him leaving: the seclusion of his own home. But he was able to be out on the 6th April, 1888, when a Jarge and representative company of ladies and gentlemen of all denominations gathered in the Grange Free Church to take part with the members. of his congre- gation ia celebrating. the jubilee of -his ministry. On that occasion Sir ‘Thomas Ciarke, who was Lord Provost of the city, provided, and from the ‘hands of Principal Sir William Muir, Dr. Bonar received a salver and a purse of 1,000 sovereigns, ‘* in grateful recognition of the eminent services

his hymns, his writings, and his faithful ministry.” This wag the closing scene, so far as the publig were concerned of a_ re- penvant life.

He passed peacefnlly away to his rest on 31st July. It is stated that he. bogan to write the hymns, which were destined to

‘learn so bright a reputation for him, when

superintendent of a Sunday School in Kel- so.. He had not found any hymns that he could make available for Sunday School purposes, and he wrote some for the use of his own scholars, never thinking that they, would be used in any wider sphere.. But as soon as his hymns appeared, their beauty, their simplicity, and, their: fulness of Gospel truth were apparent, and their catholicity was so remarkable that they were immediately laid’ hold of by all-hymn- book compilers. Among the best’ known of Dr. Bonar’s hymns may be mentioned, ‘‘A few more years shall rall,” to which Sir Arthur Sullivan has set the beautiful tune *‘Leominster;” ‘When the weary. seeking reat,” ‘‘[ heard the voice of Jesus say,” ‘Calm me, O God; and keep.me~calm,” ‘Yes, there is’ room,” the: ‘well-known children’s hymn, ‘‘I: lay my sins:on Jesus,” and the list might be filled out to’a‘con- siderable extent. The poetical works of Dr. Bonar have been published rder the title of ‘‘Hymns of Faith and Hope,” which have had a wide circulation, and ‘Hymna of the Nativity and other pieces.”

Medicinal Properties of Veget-

ables.

The following information may be useful to some at this season of the year, if not new to many : :

Spinach has a direct effect upon the kid- neys.

The common dandelion, used as greens, is excellent for the same trouble.

Asparagus purges the blood. Celery acts admirably upon the nervous system, and is a cure for rheumatism and neural-

ia. e Tomatoes act upon the liver. ;

Beets and turnipsare excellent appetzi- ers,

Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in their effects upon the system. —

Onions, garlic, leeks, olives, and shalots, all of which are similar, possess, medicinal virtues of a marked character, stimulating the circulatory system and the consequent increase of the saliva and the gastric juice promoting digestion. :

Red onions are an excellent diuretic, and

lthe white ones are recommended to be

eaten raw as a remedy for insomnia. They are a tonic and nutritious.

A soup made from obions is‘ regarded by the French as an. excellent. restorative in 'debility of the digestive organs.

There are now 500 American §schools in Turkey, all of which, except one, are open daily. An order was reently made by the Turkish Government prohibiting any inter- ‘ference with the schools, which had been ‘impeded and interfered with by lceal authorities. —

Notes on Currency and Value.

Srr,—Will you kindly permit me to make a few additional remarks on ‘‘ Notes on Currency and Value” and> fully. estab- lish some of. the. propositions laid down therein. i gilt 5 3

1. The volume of currency does’ not in- dicate the wealth of a country and does no: : fect its wealth one way or’ the: other. I wili attempt to illustrate this by méans of a diagram:

1 A !

$ | E | $ Be eB

5 5 10 10 | 20 {| 20

country, over which the money and the exchangeable articles are distributed. Let, the total number. of. dollars; 35, in the figure represent the . volume. of. currency. The spaces with $ marked in them repre- sent a certain number of dollars. .' Those marked E represent: ‘the ‘exchangeable

for its purchase. ; Let all the Es be -sold. There® will’. at once be two ‘contrary flows ; the-Es will

for them in the other. --In the same way a man receives money from a person for a

one to the other while the piece. of goods flows in the opposite direction.. ,The dia- gram will now appear thus :.

Eij.81_£ $ E $ 5 10 | 20

Next. let the amount of money or cur-

rency be doubled while the exchangeable

articies remain the same, and suppose this money has been equally distributed through

pear thus: A ‘ $ E $ E $ | E 10 20 40.

If now the total number of articles again flow, the following will be the result :

EL ae ee Pre ee ote Repay de io

The reason this comes about. is through the operation of the Law of Supply and

comes an increased demand;. and. because of the increased demand there is «a rise in prices, until everything-is again equalized under the new volume of currericy. :

‘fake the exchangeable articles marked A in the tirst figure, and call it a barrel of flour. When sold, as in figure 1, it brought $5, while in the last figure it brought $10. Now, what has happened? Did the price of flour go up? Yes. But. did its value go up? No, not at all. The value of the flour remained the same, but the value of the dollar decreased one half. Therefore, the value of the currency of ‘a country ia not in proportion to the quantity of money in it; neither does the volume of currency indicate a country’s wealth.

2. The unlimited legal tender in Canada being one metal—gold—it is somewhat difficult to detect a change of value in it. However, in the United States, where the unlimited legal tender is both gold and silver, we can, by examination, show that there has been an actual. change in the value of the American standard—the dollar. Some years ago it was. enacted by law in the United States. that gold and silver coinage~ should be interchangeable, - and that either could be paid at the option of the payer, the receiver being compelled to receive either one. As gold was much dearer than silver, a silver dollar was made about sixteen times heavier than a gold one, and this proportion was established by law. After a number of years the relative value of gold and silver changed, so that now one dollar in gold will buy more than sixteen times its weight in silver, while, with the silver dollar only, ‘the sixteen parts can be bought: that is to say, the silver dollar is really-of less’ value than the gold dollar, though by law they are of equal values. Hence the result is, that as both are interchangeable, the value of the unlimited legal tender of the United States has become less—the value, of the dollar has changed, so that if .a piece of goods costs more now than some years ago, it may not be’that the value of the goods has changed; but it may be owing to the fact that the.value of the dollar has lessened.

3. One of the most: interesting laws is that of averages:: It'is on ‘this Jaw that insurance companies found their tables. Although it may be very uncertain: how long a particular. man’ may» live, yet it ‘is possible to predict the. average life of a great number of men. Even in matters where ong would imagine this law weuld have no bearing, it is found. to be true. For instance: in the census takea in Chi- cago it was found that one out of every eighty-seven men was a Smith. Upon looking at the census rolls of several other widely separated cities, it was found that the proportion -was almost’ the same, and the larger the cities the nearer the figures. Applyiug: this law, we find that although the value of many different articles may

change in the course of time, yet the value

of a great number of articles taken together remains about the same, and the greater the number of articles the less difference there will be in their. total value at differ- ent times. Therefore, if:we take» a darge number of articles at-one. time, and‘ they are collectively: found to be worth $300, and take the'same number and quantities at

Lanother time, and find they are worth $600,

we at once reach the conclusion that as the value of ‘the articles had not changed, the value “cf the dollars had, and that the dollar was ouly about half the value it had previously been.

From these considerations: it is evident that the volume of currency has no direct

bearing on the wealth of a country.
