he must measure gold and silver values
by a commodity standard. He must
consider both gold aud silver primarily
as commodities.
Mr.. Carlisle omits to explain how he
is to decide as TO dollars worth OF
either; whether he ia 70 consider gold
as having appreciated or silver as nav
ing deprecated. He further omits to
provide any permanent ratio between
gold and silver. A gold dollar will buy
so much wheat, iron or cloth today.
Tomorrow 1t will buy different
amount. Silver will buy the necessaries
of life in the same varying way for each
day in the year. In order to protect
the owner Of wealth In other commodi'
ties, Mr.. Carlisle must invent some
method of keeping these relative values
permanent, or he must change his coin
age ratio and fineness every time there
is change in general prices. In the
latter case he would be confronted with
set of coins that would battle even the
spectators to keep run Of. In the for
mer case he would ruin the consumers
opportunity to buy goods at a lower
figure by creating producers trust and
definitely fixing the values of all pro-
ducts. Either condition is an absurdity
too palpable to need comment.
But his last statement surpasses all
the rest, after having affirmed that gold
and silver values must be determined
| by their intrinsic power to purchase
other wealth he asserts that neither gold
or silver coins can have no equal value
| as bullion. IL their bullion value does
not determine their coin value, and Mr..
Carlisle in his first statement init
Inmates as much, what is their
coin value to depend on? II they
have not equal value while in the form
| Of bullion can the government stamp
make them so? If that is true Mr..
Carlisle begs his whole question. IL
the government can stamp value on
bullion different from its commercial
value IL can stamp that value on paper
Just as easily. If ii can make 20 cents
worth of silver $1.00 it can make half
cents worth of paper $l.0O also. The
difference is one of degree only, not Of
kind, and if the government is to estab-
lish an arbitrary value differing from
that which the metals have rs bullion
the present ratio is as good as any.
1t is unnecessary to aEalyze these
statements further. They contain
nothing but contradictions and ILL
advised theories. If the country is to
have such a man as this for treasurer
little good can be expected from his
management.

Our Opening Of Spring
Dress Goods.

Our Grand Opening of Spring Dress
Goods last week was an immense sue
cess, despite the cold and stormy
weather.
The many who braved the elements
and visited our Third Floor Parlors,
where the exhibit is made, were most
enthusiastic IN their praise Of its incom-
parable value--the unsurpassed beauty
of the stock. the extreme novelty and
immense variety which characterized
the choice goods.
The latest modes In Vslvets, Laces,
etc., represent the same high grade in
these productions and are long step in
advance of anything ever before shown
in this vicinity.
Our new dressmaking department,
ready to take orders on the spot from
our own exclusive goods, proved most
welcome to shoppers and in every re-
spect the opening was an absolute satis-
faction to our customers and to our
| selves.
The great success of the occasion,
following on the successes of our
weekly openings since January 1st Qn-
dia Silks, Challis, Popular Dress Goods,
Ginghams, Laces, Muslin Underwear,
Linens, Cottons, etc., emphasizes and
endorses our promise made at the be-
ginning Of the year that Ladd's should
outdo even its own high record as the
LEADING DRY GOODS HOUSE in
Southern New England.
The exhibit will be continued this
week in our beautiful Third Floor Par.
lors.

AN OPEN FIELD.

The delays in traffic on railroads of
which so much is heard is more notice
able because freight and passenger
trains run on scheduled time. 1t is
doubtful. however, If the loss TO bust
ness from this source of delay Is as
great as the delay caused TO business In
cities by the blockading of the streets,
To say nothing of the inconvenience.
Tie loss of time due to severe storms
like that which has ragged for the past
three weeks, has been estimated at from
10 to 20 per cent.
In DAYS when time is so valuable this
loss means great decrease in the pro-
ducing capacity of community with
out any corresponding decrease in
consumption. The man therefore who
can set before himself and solve the
problem Of the rapid removal
of snow from blockaded streets,
or better still, the man who
who can invent some method of melt
ing snow as it falls will deserve the
gratitude Of all. One of our Western
contemporaries suggests a machine on
the plan of a street sprinkler containing
some solution that would melt snow.
But whether this idea is possible or not
it is somewhat remarkable that in this
age of electricity and mechanical ap-
pliances there has been no effort made
to solve the problem of cleaning snow
from the streets.
