FINANCIAL EXPERT.

Dr. Barth of Germany Is Improving His Knowledge Here.

There is now in this country Dr. Theodor Barth, the editor of Die Nation, which is an influential paper published in Berlin and an eloquent defender of the gold standard in Germany. It is his interest in the money question which brings the doctor to America just now and it is his intention to remain here until after election, study the progress of the campaign and listen to as many speeches as possible. Dr. Barth has been in America before and has even written a book on "American Agricultural Life," which shows painstaking and thought. He is still a comparatively young man and has taken degrees in philosophy and law and is a member of the reichstag. Some years ago he gave up law to enter journalism, in which he has made a pronounced success.
