Who Pays the Wedding Expenses?

Etiquette regarding wedding expen
ses is simple, but very strict. The
groom does not furnish anything for
the wedding excepting the wedding
ring, a bouquet, an gift for the brije e;
bouquets and simple tokens for the
bridesmaid; dOutonnieres, collars,
neckties, and gloves for the ushers and
best man, and souvenir OF the event
IN the shape OF scarf pin or some
other traeI carriage to convey him
self aud the best man TO the church
the carriage in which he and his bride
leave the church and house; and the
clergy mans fee. III other expenses,
Of every kind, pertaining to the wed
ding, are borne by the brides family.
This is as it should be. II an elaborate
wedding cannot be afforded, it is much
better 20 have simple one than to in
eur any obligation to the groom for a
display.-Dtnaorests Magazine.

National Debts of the World.

N. A. Dunning, editor of the
National Waterman, has compiled the
public deots of all the civilized
nations of the world, and they
aggregate $35,654,779,00O. The
compiler adds:
"The above statement is made
FROM the Stateman's Year Book and
all other sources obtainable. 1t is
very conservative and is fully five
billions under the trae amount. The
annual interest charge on this vast
amount at the average rate of a per

THE CHICAGO FAIR.

Last summer Congress took two and
one half millions of the peoples money
and gave it away to Chicago boodlers
They had a numerous lobby here
and kept working on the members till
they got what they wanted. While
the struggle was going on, pretty
females were so thick IN the corridors
here you could hardly get by. The
bar room was crowded, So were the
restaurants. High old times prevailed
The Lobby won the fight and the
boodlers got the swag.
But to ease their conscinces, the
erring statesman coupled a condition
with the gift. That condition was that
the Fair should close up on Sunday.
Now the Lobby is coming back
again. They want Congress to revoke
the condition on which the gift was
made.
Mind you, they have already got the
S2,5OO,O00, And they got it on the
faith Of Sunday closing.
Now they say they are going to KEEP
the money and keep open en- Sunday
besides.
Certainly they will. A cOncerr
which has money enough to buy
Newspapers, support Lobby and maxi
things cosy and comfortable to certain
Congressman can do anything. Aud

The Jew bankers of England held
the enormous sum of SIX THOUSAND
MILLIONS of dollars in the security of
other countries, largely first mortgages
in our country, in 1877 Three years
ago the highest authority placed the
amount at TWELVE THOUSAND MIL
LIONS. They hold now probably, FOUR
TEEN THOUSAND MILLIONS of dollars.

Our Merchants.

Now suppose the finances are out of
joint as We say they are, and that the
price of money steadily advances while
the price of commodities steadily re-
tires, will he (the merchant) not feel
the pressure?
He has to sell more of his goods to
get the dollar. After he gets it, it pays
no more OF his debt to the factor or
banker than it did before. Hence he
has lost, irretrievably lost, whatever
was the shrinkage in the value of the
goods. Not only that. At the end of
the season the debt he owes the factor
or banker calls for larger quantity of
commodities to satisfy it than at the
time the debt was made.
Now this hurts somebody. Whom !!
Well. if the merchant has made good
collection from his "time customers
he saves his bacon. They get the
hurt. But suppose the burden Of ex-
cessive cost of the money and the cor
responding shrinkage of the commodity
has been so heavy and has been going
on so long that the country is empov-
erished Then the thine customer,
is not able to pay. What then? That
merchant, goes to the wall. Isn't it SO ?
And isn't that our condition almost
universally?
Every merchant in this land ought
to study these questions seriously and
honestly for himself. We claim that
the financial system of today is radically
wrong. That money does not increase
as commodities and trade increases.
Therefore that money obtains the
advantage over commodities. That the
dollar constantly commands a greater
amount of CON modities. That the debt
continually grows larger because it
requires more produce to pay it. That,
therefore, the capitalist dominates the
worker, and constantly exacts more OF
his work.
Few country merchants are making
any money. The fires which have
desolated the country are swiftly whisk-
ing towards the towns. Only the man
who buyes on short time, in small
quantities and sells quickly and for
cash is keeping ahead. Ask your
stubbon partisan merchant if this isn't
so. Then ask him why it is so, :
That merchant who buys large stocks
Of goods; carries them for long periods
and sells them on credit finds it harder
to meet the end of the year than ever
before. Ask him if this isn't so, and
then ask why.
The commodity shrinks and the
dollar swella.
That's what the matter and our mer-
chants will all see it some of these days.
Instead of hating US, abusing US and
ridiculing US, the merchants Of this
country ought to bid us God speed.
We are fighting for their homes and
fresides as we'll as our own.-THos. e.

The Return ofthe Crinoline.

The return of the crinoline some
time in the near future seems to be one
of the accepted facts. Already. fash ION
able dressmakers are stiffening their
dresses as far as the knees. They are
asO introducing in street dress the
long abandoned facing of horse hair, in
order to give the edge of the skirt the
little flare necessary to make the ample
skirts of to-day hang gracefully. One
of the newest skirts for walking dresses
while it follows the general outlines OF
the bel skirt is the exact opposite OF it
in the way it is made. Instead of dis
pensing with seams, as in the case OF
the bell skirt, the modiste uses as many
as six in the pew skirt and these are
trimmed up half way or nearly their
entire length with the narrow tur
borders that edge the skirt. In order
to give this skirt the proper effect, the
cores must be of about equal size all
round, and the fulness at the back is
laid in large, hollow box plat.

Jefferson's Opinion of Banks.

Those who pirate so glibly of re-
turning State bank paper to our
world of finance ought to read the
following letter written by Thomas
Jefferson to President Adams, writ
ten January "a, 1914, and keep it
pasted in their hats, that it might
maybe give them the headache wheh
such frauds claim to be believers of
Jefferson's political doctrines.
THE LETTER.
| have ever been the enemy Of
banks. not of these discounting for
cash but of these foisting their own
paper into circulation and thus ban
ishing our cash. Ny zeal against
these institutions was so warm and
open at the establishment of the Bank
of the United States that [ was derid.
ed as maniac by the tribe of money
mongers who were seeking 70 fitch
from the public. But the errors of
that day cannot be recalled. The
evils they have engendered are now
upon us and the question is how to
get rid of them Shall we build an
altar to the old paper money of the
revolution which ruined individuals
but saved the Republic, and burn
on that all the hank charters, present
and future, and their notes with
them p? For these are to ruin both
Republic and individuals.
II will be seen by the above letter
that the same class of persons "de-
rided as a maniac" the great states
man and commoner, as they do at
this time the Farmers Alliance for
insisting that jefferson was right
with the experience of time backing
up their charges against the none
tary system so strenuously opposed
by Jefferson.
