The Trade Dollar.

/ bill has been introduce in congress
for the recoinage Of the trade dollars
into standard dollars. In addition to
the duty Of maintaining the national
honor the following reasons have been
offered in advocacy of the measure.
|. The government coined and al.
loved to go into circulation vast mum.
ber of trade dollars not legally intended
for circulation in this country. 2.
These trade dollars gradually received
public confidence and were used as
currency in ell minor business trans.
actions. ;. The regular or legal
dollar was then coined in large amounts
and in time met the demand for cur
rency, 50 far As silver was needed. 4
Then when the trade dollar was largely
scattered among the people, ii was dec
Jared worth only eighty five cents, and
was thrown out of general circulation.
8. Many merchants chose for time 10
take these trade dollars at par for
goods, not in spirit of speculation.
but to relieve the poorer classes from
loss, and trusting The justice of the
government for their redemption.
There can be no doubt as 10 the cor.
Fectness Of all these statements.

DOn'fs for Husbands.

DON'T think when you have won a
wife that you have also won slave.
Don't think that your wife has less
feeling than your sweetheart. Her re-
Iationship to you only is changed, not
her nature.
Don't think that you can dispense
with all the civilities toward her you
married. She appreciates those things
quite as much as other women.
DON'T be gruff aud rude at home.
Had YOU been that sort of u fellow be-
fore marriage the probabilities are that
YOU would be sewing on your own but
tons still.
Don't make your wifi, feel that she
is an incumbrance on you by giving
yrudgingly. What she needs give it
cheerfully, as if it were IL pleasure so to
do. She will feel better and SO will
you.
Don't NEEDLE in affairs of the house
under her charg.. You have no more
business to he poking your nose into
the kitchen than she has to walk into
YOUR plaza of business and give direc-
tons to your employees.
Don't lind fault with her ertrdUd-
qunce in ribbons, ETC., until you have
shut down on cigars, tobacco, whiskey,
etc.
Don't leave your wife at home to
nurse the children, on the score of
economy, while you bolt down town to
see the show or spend dollar On bill
lizards.
Don't bolt your supper and hurry out
to spend the evening lounging around
away from your wife. Before mar
rage YOU couldn't spend evenings
enough with her.
Don't prowi in loafing resorts until
midnight, wasting your time in culpa-
bic idleness. leaving your wife lonely
at home to brood over your neglect and
her disappointment.
Don't think the woman you pronlis-
ed to "love. cherish and protect" be-
comes your slave IA part OF the con-
tract.
Don't think that board and clothes
are a sufficient return for all a wife does
for you.
Don'texpect your wife to honor you
and love you if you prove brute un-
worthy of love and honor.
Don't caress your wife in public and
prowl and snarl at her In private. This
proves you a hypocrite and dog.
Don't wonder that your wife IL not
as cheerful as she used to be, when she
labors from early morn till late at
night to pander to the comfort aud ca
price of a selfish pig who has not soul
enough to appreciate her.
Don't if your vile has faults, be con-
stantly reminding her of them while
you have never word OF commenda-
ton for her virtues. If she did that
with you, you'd be as mad as hornet.
Don't expect your wife to have no
failings. Not to have is not to be hui
man: and you were marrying wOm-
an when you married her. She
thought she married man and don't
deceive her.-Ec.
