Madras. We have it in white and
colors, one and half and two yards
wide, SOC. and 65c. per yard, ard
have duplicated our orders on this
goods already. Silzine, a very close
imitation Of China Silks, light, airy

people preferring them to any other
summer curtain. Another lot of

Ash, Cherry, Ebony, Antique, Oak
and Brass Poles, 25c. to $500 each.

The silver convention in Denver
Colo. adjourned yesterday. The most
important resolution passed was for
the reconciliation of silver, and claim
ing that the demonstration of this
metal was the cause of many of the
hardships now suffered by the labor
ing classes. The business of the world
is yet done on q gold basis, and silver
is only used as medium of exchange.
If the United States were to coin
millions of silver dollars it would not
have the effect to increase the wealth
If the country, not any more than the
same amount of greenbacks would.
Labor is the basis of all values, and
gold is the basis of al exchange. The
increase of silver will not increase
he wealth of the country, because it
must be measured by the relative
value Of gold. If the government
could increase its wealth this way,
a country could make any plentiful
mineral medium of exchange and
legislate itself rich in few weeks.

The S. f. Bulletin says Chairman
Cooley of the Interstate Commerce
Commission argues from the free trans
portation and excursion rates given Jy
the railroads that rates are too high.
The prevailing cry for a year or two
has been that low rates were running
the roads. Perhaps lower rates reg
ularly collected and fewer special rates
to favored interests might put the
on better basis. A cor
porstion Or an individual that C. n
afford to he generous can certainly
afford to be just.
