q SOCIAL PARTY.

Among the many social events that
have been taking place during the
holidays, the party given by Miss Anna
Parrish at her home on High street,
Monday evening, deserves mention as
being one of the most pleasant. At an
early hour a large number of our
young people were gathered at the
inviting home of this young lady and
after a formal chat entered into the
numerous games and other pass-times
prepared for their amusement with all
the good will and earnestness that
would be expected of them at this
Merry Xmas time. At 1890 luncheon
was announced and to those only who
have had the pleasure of dining at this
hospitable board on such an occasion
comes its full meaning. The refresh
ments were fine and well-ordered, the
merry company doing them justice to
the fullest extent. The last half of the
evenings pleasures consisted of games,
dancing and general, informal good
time. Miss Anna was very prettily
attired in a cream colored evening
dress and was assisted in receiving and
entertaining her guests by her sister,
Miss Ella Parrish. These young ladies
have acquired way of their own in
the progressive art of entertaining
which is refined and amiable, yet a
simple, unpretending one, as READ in its
social laws and organization as anyone
could desire and to this above all is due
the ENJOYABLE evening passed by the
| fortunate participants.

hogs one year old and over to be fattened

members of the association if they valued
the breeding qualities OF animals, not to
get them in show order more than once.

blindness and lameness, and these bad

Necessity for an Expansion of the Circulat-
ing Medium-Open the MINIS to
Unlimited Coinage.
Editor Gazette.

Editor Gazette.
To your first question l answer, yes.
When it is considered that the amount of
money in the country as shown by estimates
of the treasury department, is, in round
numbers, about 81 500, 900, 000 (Which, in
my Judgment, is largely in excess OF that in
actual circulation among the people, when
it is remembered that about one-third of
this amount is annually required to meet
the appropriations made By congress; when
we reflect that orr population
is about siyty-three millions, and con-
template the marvellous development Of our
country, the demands of trade and the ex-
tent of the business OF the people of the
United States; when we realize the effect
of the annual retirement of many millions
of currency from circulation, in connec-
ton with other agencies of contraction;
when all these and kindred conditions are
appreciated, it would certainly seem, asiGe
from the widespread popular discomfort
and industrial depression which obtain on
the admitted ground of monetary strin-
gency, that there is pressing necessity
for an
EXPANSION OF THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM.
In reply TO your third question ! an
swer: Open the minis to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Let the genesis
of the mines respond to a great American
policy Of bimetallism. II the supply from
this source be Inadequate; if, as predicted
and appears exceedingly probable, there
will arise an enormous deficit and addi
tional appropriations shall be required; il
an emergency of which congress may
Judge, actually exists, which renders
proper supplemental issue OF treasury
notes necessary, the power OF the govern
ment IN relation to its currency under the
decision of the supreme court may be in
goked for additional paper money. Some
safe and constitutional method may cer-
tainly DC found whereby our stock Of
metallic money may be aided in connection
with the other currency now in existence.
Then reduce taxation, and thereby leave
more money in the pockets OF the people.
have not time to enlarge upon the subject
even il you had not suggested brevity.

Unlimited Coinage of Gold and Silver With
Wise Federal Legislation VIII Rev.
olutionize the Times.

Yes. we need more money. As to the
best plan TO secure the increase needed l
think a vast majority of Democrats will
agree that is by the unrestricted coinage OF
gold and silver
The much maligned silver dollar was not
regarded with such horror before a Repub-
ican congress Il "a GINNING device struck
silver down from the place it had always
held alongside of gold as money of the coun-
try. The common people of this govern
ment who bear the most of its burdens are
determined to have silver coined freely and
in unlimited quantity.
Ii we had from forty to fifty dollars per
capita circulation in this country it would
be hard for the gold kings of Wall street.
TO CONTROL TIE MONEY MARKET.
If the addition to free and unlimited
coinage CT gold and silver wise Federal
legislation could be had that would give
our country fair showing in the markets
of the world, and Ii our own state would
abolish that abominabls provision of our
constitution which prohibits the chartering
of private banks we would have but little
complaint OF hard times in money matters,
other conditions being equally favorable.
For five consecutive sessions of the legis-
lature l have attempted to have submitted
to the people repeal of the provision of
our constitution referred TO, believing that
under wise laws to govern the chartering
of banks in Texas, thousands of dollars
would be brought into circulation that
otherwise remains under lock and key.

ceived:
DEAR SIR-THE GAZETTE desires to pre-
sent for the edification of its readers an in
telligent consideration of the question Of
The Need of More Money in Circulation
and How to Provide It.
To this end we respectfully request of YOU
for publication q statement, as briefly pre-
scented as the subject will permit, your
views or the great problem.
l. Do we need more money in circula-
tiOn2
2 If not, why not?
3 If we do, what is the wisest and most
effective plan for providing this additional
circulation!
Believing while the clamor of people may
be perverted by demagogy and diverted by
quackery, that it rests in the main upon a
condition and not a theory, your discussion
OF the subject is very much desired in the
symposium The GAZETTE will present to
the public: ard because the discussion viii
appear in one issue, brevity, as far as pos
Sibie, is asked.
Your attention as early as your conven-
fence will permit viii be appreciated.

/ would suggest that an increased circula-
ton could be secured by the free coinage of
silver: by q reduction of the tariff so as to
prevent the government from taking out of
circulation and locking up many millions of
the peoples money; by paying OF all gov
eminent bonds promptly on their maturity,
in coin when so specified, otherwise in the
usual legal tender treasury notes; by chang
ing the national banking laws so as 10 pre-
vent and place it out of the power Of Wall
street to control, by the aid of the secretary
of the treasury, the volume of currency in
circulation among the people. II the
bonded indebtedness was paid Off, the vast
amount OF money held by banks and
in the United States treasury as reserve
funds, would be unlocked and flow into the
channels of trade and aid greatly in sup
plying the demand for more money. Our
own state treasury should unlock its
boarded millions by lOaning il TO its citi
zens on either Gnincumbered real estate at
a low rate of interest or by permitting any
school district in the state to incorporate
for school purposes and issue bonds TO
build and furnish schoolhouseS, and then
invest its permanent school fund in these
bonds, requiring such schoolhouses and
furniture to be insured for the benefit and
security of the state, etc. This last plan
does not divert the funds from the object
for which they were intended, and at the
same time IL puts the permanent school
fund back into the hands of the people, and
directly advances the cause of education.
