and rearl with much pleasure.
complicated and too tedious to go into
details in a letter, but I assure you
there is no stauncher friend of the
white metal than I am. if I may he per-
mitted to use a rather inaccurate
phrase, for. in point of fact, there is
no such thing as a man's being u
' friend of a metal or any other form
that money takes. I am a sincere bi-
metallist. (voted for several of the
ratios, forget now how many, nor does
it matter, but I doubted sincerely our
ability to alone maintain the parity.
I believe the gold, or single standard
countries desire nothing so mucn as
that the I nited States commit herself
to practical, free and unlimited coin-
age at the ratio or Hi to I. The result
would l e to throw us on the single iil-
ver standard, which would be as fatal
to the prosperity and commercial
greatness of our country as the gold
standard would be. To prove that I
am right, see how rapidly the sent-
iment is maturing in the great gold
standard nations toward bimetallism.
Silver is gaining rapidly. We have
forced the great commercial nations to
a serious consideration of the necessity
to co-operate in order to secure its en-
larged and equal use of gold. Recent
events in Kurope make it clear to all
thinking men that a conference will
be proposed by Kuglnnd or Germany.
1 doubt the policy of the proposition
coming from the rnited Stutes now.
Hut. waiving that, if it would be ad-
visable to cause the nations to enter
into an agreement with us. you, upon
reflection, will agree with me. that I
have neither the standing or experi-
ence in the councils of the party to
move in so important a matter. Such a
bill would have to be fathered by one
of the oldest and most prominent
members of the party, a recognized
leader on the floor of the House or
Senate, in order to insure that degree
of consideration necessary to success.
If I valued only mv individual success,
or desired to do something to make a
a cheap reputation. I know full well
that this or many other bills might be
offered by me. but I cannot do things
from such motives. There is no par-
ticular harm or vice in it. but my
whole life is against it. To restore bi-
metallism is a great and important
question, too great and important to
hazard its successful accomplishment
by ill-ad vised and inconsiderate action.
I want to say another thing in this
connection that inny startle some good
Democrats who have become wedded
to the idea that there is but one way
to reach bimetallism, i. e . by the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and
that is that the ('resident's purpose is
as resolutely bent on■ reaching that
great restoration of silver on a basis
that will preclude all possibility of a
disturbance of its relation to gold as
any he ever had. and time will vindi-
cate his belief, and in not a great
while, either. Of course, every fellow
who can see as far into this subject as
he can into a millstone will howl with
i derision at this idea, but the
esurrend-
'd to the mere blackmail of interest-
ed Senators The free raw material
features of the hill as it left the House
were particularly favorable to New
Kngland manufacturers. The Duluth
Congressman was anxious for free iron
ores, which he said would build up a
great manufacture of cheap iron at the
head of Lake Superior. So the North
and Northeast would get benefit from
the free trade part of the bill. The
opposition of New Kngland Senators
is nothing but politics. W hen Dawes
was in the Senate he spoke fcr free
raw materials as the one cherished
wish of New Kngland manufacture.
His successors are against this bill be-
cause they are in the protection com-
bine and must act with their fellow-
conspirators. This attitude does not
incline Democrats to consent to u fur-
ther cut in the income tax. Concess-
ions for the sake of working harmony
of opinion nre-different from concess-
ions to the blackmail of the Kepubli-
canizers or to the combine politics of
the Republicans.
Make the arrangement what you
please, as long as the essential pur-
pose of the bill is preserved, and on
the corn i ion that the arrangement
means action. The bill has b.>en un-
fairly fought in the Senate, and will
be unfairly fought in the campaign. Its
friends might have been bold enough
to force such reca'citrants as Hill and
(Sorman to face before their own con-
stituents a Democratic majority mani-
festo. Hut the courtesy of the Senate
forbade, and the nation can get only
an arrangement. Now let us have the
arrangement and a vote.

Money for 11 a Fainter-
PICTURE OF
xlern times has
o taken a stronger
hold upon popular
favor or fulfilled a
higher mission thuu
that whose history
is here recorded. It
has been repro-
duced in every
form, has made its
way into the homes
of the inhabitants of all parts of the
civili/ed globe, and has a lorued alike
the walls of palaces and of hovels. It
has nerved the hearts of Christians to
heroic resistance, and not less heroic
submission: and the departing pilgrim,
with last look fastened upon it, bus
gathered strength and courage for a
triumphant passage through the shad-
owy valley.
The causes which ope rato to produce
popularity are little understood. An
author makes a "happy hit" inexplica-
bly to himself. A song catches the
public ear. one can not tell how or
why, and is sung in every thorough-
fare and whistled upon every corner;
but the popularity of "The Rock of
Ages" Is an open secret which "he who
runs may read." It is founded upon a
deep and universal need in the human
heart, a need which has manifested
itself in every age of the world since
its creation: a need for something
stronger and higher than itself to
which it may cling amid the storms of
life, a need for something staple in s
world where all things yield to the in-
exorable law of change.
The painting is a symbolic represen-
painting, measuring four feet in
height
Before this picture was exhibited,
however, a number of photographs of
it were struck off and put upon the
uarket, and one of these falling int«i
the hands of a Mr. James, a picture
dealer in l'rovidenoe, 11. I., he made
offer to Mr. Oertel to become the sole
publisher of all subsequent copies,
which offer was accepted under a
written contract.
The painting was placed at the gal-
lery of William Shana, but was only
on exhibition a few days wheu it was
bought by a lirooklyn merchant,
Augustus Storrs, for the sum of $1,00*1.
The photographs gotten out by Mr.
James, measuring ten inches in height,
brought (without frames)the quite phe-
nomenal price of ?."> apiece, and so
great was the demand for them that
the operator found himself unable to
meet it. Indeed, the run upon these
pictures was unprecedented in the his
toryof photography, and complaints
were constantly made by the dealers
that they were losing sales in conse-
quence of an iusuflicicut supply of
copies.
it then occurred to Mr. .lames that u
chromo lithograph might be gotten
out with advantage (the work to bo
done in Paris), and an application for
this purpose was made to the owner
for the loan of the original. Mr.
Storrs, however.was unwilling that his
picture should be carried to such u dis-
tance, and Mr. Oertel, who had never
parted with the copyright, set about
making a new painting. This work
was done at Irvingtou-oii-the-lludson,
the home of the celebrated lundsca|>e
painter, Albert llierstadt. who, during
a temporary absence in Kngland, had
given Mr. Oertel the use of his studio.
It was completed in three weeks and
the painting carried by Mr. .lames to
Paris, where chroinos were made.
Passing through London on his way
home, that gentleman, simply as a
venture, called upon the queen's book-
seller. Mr. (iraves, in Pall Mall, and
ith difficulty prevailed upon him to
invest in three of these chroinos at
three guiueas apiece.

A iiu'ricHiiiwin.
In the Forum for April. Theodore
Roosevelt tells in ringing words "What
Americanism Means." His article
reads in part as follows:
"Our nation is that one among all
the nations of the earth which holds
in its hands the fate of the coming
years. We enjoy exceptional advan-
tages and are menaced by exceptional
dangers;and all signs indicate that
we shall either fail greatly or succeed
greatly. I grmly believe that we shall
succeed: but we must not foolishly
blink at the dangers by which we are
threatened, for that is the way to fail.
"There are two or three sides to the
question of Americanism, and two or
three senses in which the word "Amer-
icanism' can be uked to express the an-
tithises of what is wholesome and de-
sirable. In the first place, we wish to
be broadly American and national, as
opposed to being local or sectional.
There is a second side to this question
of a broad Americanism, however.
The patriotism of the village or the
belfry is bad. but the lack of all patrio-
tism is even worse. One may fall very
short of treason and yet bean unde-
sirable citizen in the community. The
man who becomes Kuropoanized. who

Moreover, we have as little use for

fation of the Christian faith. In the
midst of an ocean of sin the cross,
founded deep upon the eternal God-
head and offering the only safety,
erects itself. To it a female figure
clings She is a representative of
weakness, of helpless dependence, of
affectionate trust. Her garment is
wet with the spray of daily tempta-
tion and infirmity, but her gaze is up-
ward, from whence streams the light
of forgiveness, of love, of hope, of as-
sured divine favor.
In painful contrast to this figure is
the masculine hand in the foreground
of the picture, the symbol of self de-
pendence, which, reaching out of the
waters, endeavors to lay hold of a
piece of floating wreck. It eludes the
grasp, but even if possessed would
offer no support. Thus the things of
earth, mere fragments tossed on a sea
of change, can never uphold a strug-
gling, sinking soul, which must cling
for succor to the "Rock of Ages."
The picture was produced first as a
small sketch in the album of a young

take ship for America, ere a telegram
was received from Mr. Graves order-
ing thirty additional copies, and upon
his arrival in New York a second tele-
gram was handed him containing an
application for the whole edition.
Indeed, unprecedented as was the sale
of this remarkable creation in America,
it was even greater abroad, an Knglish
nobleman hazarding the statement
that not a palace or hovel could be
found throughout all Kngland which
did not contain a copy of it in one or
other of its varied forms, and a trav-
eler who had made the tour of the
world exclaimed-
"The picture haunts ine It follows
me wherever I go. I have seen it iu
Chile. I have seen it also in the
Pyrenees."
A few years after the appearance of
the first photograph, Mr. James had
realized as his share of the proceeds,
In 186a, however, an unauthorized
copy of the "Hock of Ages" was gotten
out by a New York photographer, and
Mr. Oertel's publisher sought redress
and protection from the law. The
case was carried into the lower and
Supreme courts of the state of New-
York, its prosecution coating Mr. Oer-
tel S,',ooo, and scarcely had it been
decided in his favo- ere a Chicago pub-
lisher made a similar picture, evading
the law by minor alterations, such as
the introduction of a ship and the re-
version of the female figure in the
original design.
This threw the copyright open, the
monopoly was wrested from its right-
