WINDOI ON SILVER.
He Thinks Hts Bell VIII FIX Things just
Right.

WASHINGTON, April 23-Secretary
Window has written a letter to IA West
orn correspondent. in which he states
his views of the silver question.
"rhe bill recommended by che Treas
ury," he says, was framed mainly for
two pur poses-tirst, to meet the demand
for an increase of circulation; and sec
ond, to enhance the value of silver by pro
viding for it an additional and safe use as
money. II approved by & 'ngress it will
in my judment accomplish both of these
objects. and at the same time afford fair
and Just basis for harmony of action on
the silver question.
ITO the silver Interests it offers every
substantial benefit that can be granted
without peril to our financial system. and
far greater advantages than eau be found
in free coinage To those who demand
more money it offers an annual increase
of from $50 600 600 to $50, 600, 600. T"
these who insist upon sound currency
it gives the amplest guarantees against
degradation of the American dollar But
to those who would initiate the currenc.
by il jecting into it a large volume OF
money without adequate safeguards
against depreciation it offers no comfort

secret of much OF the opposition to some
of its redemption features.
.'All the bills on this subject eontem
plate a policy to extend over an indefinite
period, and which will result iu the issue
of a very large volume of Treasury notes
If thew be made redeemable in lawful
money they must be paid in the best law
ful money if demanded, in accordance
ba bipb la nj honor which this
government has thus far maintained, and
by which it has established a credit the
pride and breast of our people. If the
balance of trade shall turn against us, or
| if distrust shall arise as to our ability to
paw in gold, as it surely will. under such
a provision of law, or if for any other
reason we shall be unable to redeem in
gold when demanded, the governments
will be compelled to discriminate against
silver dollars, when gold will at once
command a premium, and this nation
will step down from its present proud
position and take it's place on the tinan
cial basis of China, India and South
America.
1T is to save us from this danger that
| have insisted so strenuously for the
provision to redeem in gold Or its eGulva
| lent OF silver bullion. l know OF but
TWO ways by which the proposed issue of
treasury notes Can be anchored to the
recognized values of the commercial
world One is the bullion redemption
feature provided in the treasury bill, and
the other is authority to sell bonds in
order to provide reserve fund to meet
the constantly increasing volume of pro-
posed treasury notes, The latter | be
lieve to be both unnecessary and unjusti-
fable. The former believe TO be entirelf
practicable and safe. Rather than go one
step further, ! firmly believe that it
would be far better to have no legislation
on the subject"

The election to fill the vacancy caus
ed by the death of Mr.. Randall will be
held this spring, and will not be post
poned until next fall, as has been erron-
eously stated. Various are the specu-
lations as to who will be nominated by
the Democrats, and whether the dis
trict will 60 Democratic. There is some
talk of nominating Mr.. George M.
Dallas, of Philadelphia, a nephew of
the late Vice President of that name, a
Philadelphia lawyer of some ability,
about fifty years of age, and always a
Democrat. Doubts are expressed, how
ever, as to the probability of the cleo
ton OF any Democrat in that district,
for it is well known that the late Mr..
Randall always had the support of Mr..
George w. Childs, Mr.. Drexel and
other prominent Republicans, without
which he could not have been elected.
The coming election will demonstrate
whether there has been any truth in
these rumors, and it looks now as if
Mr.. Randall's successor would be a
Republican or if Democrat one who
will hold the same tariff views as Mr..
Randall.

The Independent gives returns OF the
vote of one hundred and twenty-six
Presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church
on revision of the Confession of Faith.
These returns show that eighty-two
Presbyteries have voted in favor of re-
vision, forty against revision and four
have refused to vote. There are yet
eighty-sIx Presbyteries to be heard from
and the indications are, says the hide
benaent, that the vote m favor of re-
vision will be nearly, if not quite, two
thirds of all the Presbyteries.

Judge Miller who presides at the
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County,
called the attention of the Grand Jury
on Monday to the law relative to the
embezzlement of public funds, and es-
peeiaIy to the case of Stevenson Archer
late Treasurer OF the State who is
charged with malfeasance III office.
The Judge told the jury that malfeas-
ance is a common law crime and pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment, add
ing, "if one-half that is said of Mr.. Ar
cher is true there will be no difficulty
in finding an indictment against him. -
Nor will there be any more difficulty
IN proving him guilty under the indict-
ment, but as the Hagerstown He1aLa
very truthfully says. "The violator OF
the law under Democratic rule in Mary
land has every reason to believe his
party will save him harmless. If the
courts convict and sentence him, he is
perfectly justified in believing that the

We are Distributors Of Dry Goods

on such scale, as affords undoub-
ted advantages to consumers on the
one hand, and to the largest pro-
ducers on the other.
1t is, of course, impossible for
the manufacturer and the consumer
to come into contact and deal di-
rectly with one another. In times
gone by, three sets Of merchants
stood between the buyer and the
maker. First-the importer or
commission merchant who sold to
second-the jobber or wholesale
dealer, who in turn, sold to third
the retail merchant. This system
of business caused three profits to
be placed on the goods before they
reached the consumer Now all this
is changed. One profit takes the
place of three, and consumer and
maker come as nearly together as
economic laws permit and meet at
our counters. This great mart,
with system perfected by years
of experience, trial and growth, is
not only a necessity and a conve.
nience to the people, bu, is I'M
doubtedly a money-saving organi-
cation on an extensive scale In
no other way can the vast and
varied products of the times be
properly and economically distrib
uted, except through such an
agency. The makers themselves,
each producing but one class of
goods, and without any orgal iza
ton for distribution, would be ut
terly unable to distribute their
products, except at great disad-
vantage, and at high prices to
buyers, while the latter, compelled
to 60 to hundred sellers instead of
one, would be under even greater
disadvantage. both as to labor and
in the payment Of the higher prices
A great retail store then, is the out
growth of legitimate demand, a
necessity of the times, and strik
ing instance of the economic power
of systemat organization Under
no other system would it be posi-
bic to distribute the products of a
thousand makers so economically
and well to the millions waiting to
receive them; which millions secure
said products at prices made inevi
tably moderate by the competition
of the makers at our counters; and
the cost of handling the goods from
producer to consumer is scarcely
appreciable to each buyer. so vast
is the volume Of business trans
acted by this great economical or
ganization.
But to attain the highest degree
of efficiency, and to secure the best
results to the public, the organiza-
ton must be on a scale sufficient to
command the markets of the world
in its lines of business; to watch
all markets and to buy largely
when pfices are low enough to pay
the cash promptly for the entire
product OF a mill, ii necessary,
which product will be rapidly dis
tributed among thousands of buy
ers, each securing just the quantity
desired-say one yard or twenty
at the advantage obtained by the
great organization, plus the one
small profit which is small indeed
to each individual buyer.
We venture to claim that, in the
vast and varied field of Dry Goods,
we have established and built up
just such an organization as is
here described; and it is our aim,
not alone to make money, but to
transact business on such a broad
basis and on such a scale in our
chosen line, that the greatest good
to the greatest number may result.
