WHY USE CAPITALS7

A Dreamer Insists That They Have
no Value.
The following communication explains
itself:
does not this paragraph look just as
well without capital letters as it would
with them? can you not read it easier
capital letters are the alphabetical fos-
sils of past barbaric ages. before the era
of the printing press, when initial let
ters Of manuscripts were Illuminated by
specialists. even now the conserva-
tive german capitalzes all nouns, but
why? the english do not. old greeks
wrote without capitals, as did many
other ancient nations. the eye could
soon accustom itself to the change.
capitalization is largely matter OF
style. nobody capitalizes the word
negro, but everybody capitalizes the
word indian; why? is the inoian any
more OF man than the negro? even
the word god is not always capitalized
In the bible. compare any book OF 1882
with one of 1912, and the latter book
will be seen to have far greater num-
Der of capitals. the tendency of the
age is to do away with capitals. by
1912 not book or newspaper will be
printed with capitals, which are great
nuisance to the eye of the reader as well
as to the arm OF the typo, who has to
reach away up to the upper case every
time his eye meets capital. the dis
use of capitals would thus be great
saving of time in composition, and
cheaper for the publisher. if the new
york truth seeker saves $500 per annum
by emitting the final SEP from love,
have, give, move, ETC., how much would
be saved by omitting the typographical
scare-crows? down with the capitals |!

AN ALLIANCE SPLIT.

Disagreement In Congress as to the Sub
Treasury Scheme.
NEW YORK, Jan. ga Washington
special says: Jerry Simpson, Watson
of Georgia and Otis of Kentucky split
from the other Alliance members of the
house, because they objected to the
proposition made by the latter that they
cast their lot with the Democrats.
1t is said the difficulty is too serious
to be healed. The Alliance men
who favor working with the DEM
ocrats have decided to introduce
bills to put on the free list all articles
considered as necessities to farmers, and
by securing the passage of these meas
ures to SO reduce the revenues that de-
felt in the treasury will be created.
This much accomplished, the Alliance
members would compel congress to issue
legal tender treasury notes to cover the
amount of the deficit, security to be fur
nished by those receiving the notes, in
accordance with the sub-treasury plan.

 In obedience to the will and in structions of the Southwest Silver Convention and mass meeting of miners held in this city on the 18th, 10th and 17th days of December, 1891, your executive and subcommittee, charged with perpetuating tine annual assemblage of the m ners of the south west, in Fl Paso, do in virtue of the authority vested in them, announce tbat the second annual Southwest Silver Convention and mass meeting of miners will convene in Fl Paso, Dec. ,, 1892, at 9 am.
 Tine silver industry is at this mo- ment in most critical condition mines are closing down and the fur ther exploration aud development of the mineral resources Of he south west have received serious check. During tine past twelve months the enemies of bimetallism have been act i've, sU much so, that on the l2th of August, 1892, silver reached the lowest figure il its history, g. cents, or but z9 cents above the estimated average cost of production of the ounce Of sii- yer in the southwest.
 Still greater dangers threaten the industry in the iutuie, and at no time in the annals of silver mining has il become more necessary Tor those en- gagged in the industry to organize and take prompt action to preserve their interests and demand the restoration of system that from the administra- ton oi George Washington until the year 1873, was one of the influences that made of the United States the greatest and most prosperous nation upOn earth.
 The restoration Of silver 10 its nat ural and traditional ratio of value with gold, Is to l, will engage the attention 1 of tue second southwest silver conven- tion and the attempted introduction Of any extraneOus questions likely to breed discord among the assembled miners will be promptly suppressed by the presiding officer. Miners are urged to be present upon the occasion and to otherwise lend their assistance to a cause that now, if ever. requires friends and advC cates.
