Mr.. Carlisle is always statesmanlilSe.
Whether making a speech OF writing a
paper he goes straight to the gist of the
matter in plain, common sense way,
without any demagogy OF any super
fiuous fourishes. In the course Of time
absurdities and abuses grow up under
any system of government. and these
usually continue and increase until they
become unbearable before any intelligent
effort to remedy them is made. Mr..
Carlisle's report IS largely devoted to
such absurdities as now exist in the laws
regulating the treasury and the cur
Tency Of the country. How plainly
wrong and how easily remedied they are.
WHAT earthly reason is there that this
country should have "in circulation nine
aiEerent kinds Of currency, all except
TO being dependent directly or indi-
rectIy upon the credit Of the United
States?" Some kinds are obliged to be
reissued when redeemed; others may be
SO issued, but are not required 70 be:
yome may be retired If redeemed In gold.

date. The home market is stocked, and
the foreign market is inaccessible in
many industries
This as 10 the employees of the manu-
facturers. but let us apply this PROPOSE
ton of the minority to the farmer. IF
in the United States there are higher
wages and higher cost of capital and
If without a barrier against foreign COM
petition 'the products of the United
States cannot be sold except at a loss"
where stands the farmer whose surplus
product must be sold in the foreign mar
ket against all competition, and the price
of whose product here is fixed by the
| foreign price? The farmer according to
the minority proposition. has just as
much disadvantage from high labor and
high capital as the manufacturer, and in
addition to that he must pay more for
his clothing, his tools and his supplies of
all kinds, excepting food raised by him.
in order to maintain this home market
for the manufacturer. We accept the
proposition of the minority as good free
trade doctrine, and we ask where does
the farmer come in? He has no oppor-
tunity to extort any part of the profits
from the manufacturer as organized
labor may. He bears the burden of the
entire system, or rather he shares it
with that portion Of the community
which is not engaged in the protected
industries. We agree with the minority
that the objection to this bill is that it
does not go far enough-that the differ
ence between it and any other protective
measure lis only one of degree" And
we rejoice that the minority has had its
eyes opened to the objections to the
bill from a free trade standpoint

but must be reissued If redeemed in sill
yer; one is not legal tender for private
debts, but is a legal tender for public
dues; one is not taxable and the others
are And yet both the great parties of
the country are pledged to maintain all
| these forms of money on a parity Is
not this an absurdity that is necessarily
productive of evil results. and should 1t
not be remedied?
Again, although the government is ex-
pected to manage not only the financial
affairs of the nation, but also its money
for circulation. the hands of the secre-
tary are tied as to all the usual ex-
pedients that are resorted TO by state
and municipal governments in this coun-
try. He can neither make temporary
loans nor issue bonds. He is directed
to maintain gold reserve of 100000.
and no means for so doing is provided
by law, except the issuance Of bonds at
much higher rates of interest than are
necessary. The power to issue bonds in
small denominations, to an amount of
not over $50, 600, 900, at not more than 3
per cent. interest, is certainly one that
can be safely lodged with the secretary
of the treasury, or even a power to issue
to the amount Of 5000 ,OO0, 900 if necessary.
The existing laws give authority only for
bonds redeemable after ten years at
per cent. interest, after fifteen years at
Az per cent. interest. or after thirty
years at per cent. interest. Such a re-
striction is directly in conflict with the
interests of the country and should be
removed at once.
The power to increase the gold reserve,
to coin the seigniorage, and other powers
as to which the laws are silent or of
doubtful Interpretation should be made
plain and clear. There is little room for
doubt that the panic of the past summer
might have been avoided if the laws of
the country had given more elasticity
to our currency, and had given the secre-
tary of the treasury greater discretionary
power as to the maintenance and pro-
lection Of the gold reserve. The lesson
has been a costly one, but it should at
least have the beneficial effect of bring
ing about a reform of the currency
laws by which similar evils may be
avoided in the future. After disposing
of the tariff question, congress cannot
better employ itself than in the enact
ment of a currency law which viii
remedy the defects of our present con-
fused and confusing legislation on that
subject

The proposition for another monetary
conference is Endorsed in this way by
the Cleveland Plain Dealer: ct Is best
to have a monetary congress. The more
information we can get, the more dis
cussiOn we can have Of the subject, the
more will the people learn of the pur-
pose and power of the gold syndicate
Time will surely prove that in this coun-
try English money means English prices
for labor and the products of labor. Sill
yer will yet come to the redemption Of
prices and business" Very good, but
suppose that England still insists on the
selfish policy of holding to the gold
standard on the theory that it is beneficial
to creditor countries? What is the use
of permitting England to run the world?
Why not have a monetary conference
of nations that favor bimetallism and let
them agree on a system by which Eng
land can be deprived of any advantage
from holding to the gold standard? 1t
is easy enough to do that

Beauty and Happiness.

think you can make a girl lovely If you
do not make her happy" says Ruskin
There is not one restraint you put on
a good girls nature; there is not one
check you give to her instincts of af-
lection or of effort, which will not be in
delibly written on her features with a
hardness which is all the more painful
because it takes away the brightness

CO-oPERATIvE HOUSEKEEPING


Housekeeping and the servant ques-
ton are the questions which are driving
the women of today into sanitariums
and insane asylums. This is more par
ticularly true in the United States, where
employer and employee stand on more
equal footing than in foreign countries.
The cooperative plan is being applied
to housekeeping and the results are be-
ing watched with fear and trembling by
the women who hope to reap some of its
benefits. 1t hardly seems that the CO
operative housekeeping plan can be the
best method of lifting the burden of
housekeeping from the shoulders Of
American women. The beauty Of the
home is its individuality a man loves
to be by his own freside at night and
partake of his own dinner. which has
been cooked with a view to his particu
lar appetite and which caters to his
taste. This is the reason why so many
persons shun hotels and boarding houses.
Food cooked in quantities and the fact
that one must eat whatever will please
the greatest number of boarders makes
every one love small cottage. where
he can have his meals prepared as he
likes them, seasoned to his taste.
When hundred families, living in one
block, have the same kitchen and meals
are cooked in a heap, will not the angel
Of the freside fly to other realms? When
the home becomes a machine and runs
on schedule time. shall we not become a
nation Of machines? What will become
of the man who likes to take off his
boots by the kitchen fire and smoke his
pipe before he retires? In fact, this
plan threatens some Of the most touch
ing blessings of the home.
Are not many of the burdens of mod
ern housekeeping self-imposed by the
housekeepers? Visit most any modern
house and it is filled with bric-a-brac,
rugs. draperies. pictures and scores Of
trihes from every land, which do not
even bear the stamp of true art upon
them, and which make the housekeeper's
life a continual tussle with the dust
fiend Would not a simpler and better
taste in furnishing do away with most
of this useless bric-a-brac and tighten
the burden? Since the microbe has be
come a member of polite society and
makes its home with US. physicians decry
the lavish use of heavy wooden draperies
and silk that cannot be washed at least
twice a year. Draperies that must be
shaken should give way to draperies
that will wash. Then the modern woman
has the idea that everything in the house
must bear upon it's surface a bit of en-
broidery which she has toiled upon night
and day. 1t ruins her eyes and nerves,
but all her friends do this sort of work
so she must. She has time to embroider
miles of linen, but no time to enjoy read
ing or healthful recreation.
Instead of cooperative housekeeping
give us palmer living. less furniture and
bric-a-brac. Danish rocking chairs and
illy-ventilated rooms, and we shall be
healthier and homework will be reduced
10 a trihe. Let us try any plan rather
than destroy our homes

4 Public sympathizer.

A clever woman recently said that, If
worst came TO worst and she had to
find some way of earning her living, she
believed that she would become a pub
lie sympathizer. ANY one could send
for me-" she explained, and pour out
all their worries and troubles while I
listened and sympathized for say % or
80 cents an hour. Everything should be
strictly confidential, and I would never
allow myself to have a greater worry,
or a worse pain, or a deeper trouble
than my client. What do you think of
that scheme ?'-N. Y. Correspondent.

Did you ever know that some trout
are born with two heads-two heads
and one body? Indeed it is quite a
common thing to find them where trout
are raised. But they seldom grow up
and you would never imagine why
am sure. Because they are both so
greedy and so selfish that one head
fights the other head for all the food
that comes their way, and then the food
slips away, and no head gets ii. and so
the one body starves. What silly Great
ures! Don't you think SON Y World.

The selection of Wayne MacVeagh for
ambassador to Italy is one in every
way creditable to President Cleveland.
1t is true that Mr.. MacVeagh is not a
lifelong democrat; but he Joined the
party not because he hoped for reward
or because he had been sighted in his
old party affiliations, but because Of his
conversion to the principles Of the demo-
cratic party. And no true democrat

LONDON, Oct. 10.-The Vienna corre-

which Count Won Taafe introduced in the

at Grand Haven yesterday, was not only one
of the best-known mariners on the lakes,
but at one time he was celebrity Of ma
