A scheme to RemouetizsIsIver.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December 81
Senator Chandler Republican, New
HamDshire,) is about to come forward
with a scheme looking to the remonett-
zatlon OF silver. The senator proposes
very radical methods Of bringing this
about, He Contemp plates theintrOduction
iD the Senate after the reconvening OF
Congress Of a resolution which he will
advocate, asking the United States TO
invite all countries OF the world,
eastern. western and southern to attend
a monetary conference. The new
feature of the proposed conference is
that il shall not be restricted TO the
European gold standard countries, but
shall include the South American and
Oriental silver standard countries.
Moreover the invitations to the con-
ference are 60 contain q declaration OF
the United States that the purpose OF
the conference shall be the establish
ment and maintenance Of an inter-
national ratio, with the specific declara-
ton added that il such a ratio cannot
be agreed upon 10 will be the purpose
of the United States to adopt single
standard, and that standard
not gold but silver. BY TAX
ing this extreme position, not as yet
advocated in Congress even by the radi-
cal silver men, Senator Chandler
thinks the hands Of the gold standard
countries not now trading extensively
with the western world can be forced.

The Matter wiz Probably DO Deeius"
soon After the Committee Meets Again.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 81
When the majority members OF the
Committee on Ways aud Means come
together again it Is said a decision VIII
be reached as to what kind OF an IN
come tax will be agreed upon. ProD-
ably the other matters pending before
the committee and largely dependent
upon the proposition will also be agreed
upon, or at least prepared for ADJUST
ment The committee will have to
decide upon the two reports submitted
by the sub committee on internal rev.
enue by Messrs. Mcmillan and Bryan IN
favor Of a tax on all incomes Including
individuals, and the other dill by Mont
romerv i'm favor of the TAX on corporate
investments. Until this is decided
there will be nothing done ABOUT the
rate OF taxation, although it's proposed
by the Mcmillan. Bryan plan 10 make 10
. per cent. upon incomes OF $1,000
wear and upward. yielding an estimated
revenue OF $50, coo, 600. There is yet some
disbursement over the rate Of tax to De
levied upon inheritauces but the dlHer-
ences are not such as can be easily adj
ius,ed. The Inheritance tax will be
extended only to personal property as
it has been found impractlca0ie TO pave
real estate Included. A revenue OF
$40, 900, 600, 1t is estimated, will be de-
rived from this source. The TAX OF
s.. so per thousand on cigarettes and SIX
cents a pack on playing cards, 1t Is
thought. will yield $4,000, 000; in all
si5, 900, 600, which several members OF
the committee think is all that it Is TO
provide for By legislation at present
There was sou1e talk that during the
holidays the Democrats opposed to the
bin would organize 70 secure its defeat
but it does not look as though anything
would come Of il. Several members
are found who declare they Will not
vote for the bill unless amended, but
there are those who really believe that
the bill can be defeated ia the House,
though they are confident It Will not be
through the Senate. It does not look
now as il the effort to defeat the bill In
tie House would have much strength.

successful in fixing the rate at 65 cents,
it will not be- on account Of lack or

Major RathbOne Makes Positive De-
niaI-Thinks Harrison Strong man.
CINCINNATI, o., December 27.-Dis-
patches have been sent from New York
and Washington that Major e. g. Rath-
bone, who was John c. News Adjutant
General at Minneapolis, as we'll as As
slstant Postmaster General under Har-
rison, was at the head OF an organiza-
ton for Harrison's denomination.
Major Rathbone has been here the
past two days and the Cincinnati pa
pers to-day had articles about him
working for Harrison. The papers say
they are judging Of Rathbone's mission
more by his actions than by his words.
Somei mportancei is also attached to the
visit Of Russell Harrison here last week.
Rathbone made a denial to reporters
yesterday and tonight furnishes the
following TO the Associated Press:
II believe that the story that there is
an organization for the purpose OF
booming Mr.. Harrison for President in
1896 CONES from some person, or per-
sons who begin to think that Mr.. Har-
rison will prove to be formidable can
didate should be conclude to let his
name go before the convention next
time. Their evident purpose is to kill
him off.
II do not believe there is any boom
ing organization in existence, and l am
certain that 1 am not at the head of
any such movement, or in any way con-
nected with IL.
Recent events tend to bring Mr..
Harrison out in striking contrast TO the
present administration and may be a
cause for alarm on the part of those
who desire some other candidate for the
Presidency"

snIf praise.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testimony Of others no reasonable man
will doubt his word. Now, to say that
ALLcocKs Porous PLAsTERs are the
only genuine and reliable porous plasters
made is not self praise in the slightest
degree. They have stood the test for
over thirty years, and in proof of their
merits it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the cures they have affected and
to the voluntary testimonials of those
who have used them.
Beware OF limitations, and DO not be
deceived by Misrepresentation. Ash
for ALLcocR's, aud let no solicitation
or explanation induce you to accept 8

Would Benefit Coal.

B;glR1inOUs Record.
While not knowing positively just
what might be the result of free trade
in bituminous coal, and with iron ore,
wool and other raw materials free, we
are willing that the Wilson bill shall De
the law OF the land until experience
shows that its effeG has been 6anefuI'
aud worse than the effects Of the pro-
lection policy of the Republicans. We
have an idea that the impetus given our
many manufacturing industries should
their owners be able to secure raw ma
terlal free of duty, and their consequent
ability to sell in almost any market In
the world, would largely increase the
consumption OF soft coal. Another
thing, we are unable TO see why the
same good effects which followed the
placing Of hides on the free list should
not follow free wool.

In Mr.. Depew's intestiug account OF
his flying trip abroad he says that 1.-THE
universal complaint all over Europe Is
bad business. Nothing like it has ever
been experienced. They all feel and

he adds "much Of it is ascrIoed to the

ure this has provedl Not only is indus

the theory that the way TO promote

and that the way to help trade IS to

Kinley law was not more deadly than
its recoil. 1t has helped to make bad
business in Europe and at home. 1t
