The Gold Compress.

Before the total demonstration
of silver by the repeal of the pur.
chasing clause of the Sherman act,
the United States had $1,000,O00,00O
of gold and silver which was primary
or redemption money but since the
passage of that act one half of the
metallic currency of the country has
been struck down, and we have only
about $5O0,000,000 of gold redemp-
tion money to redeem $500,OO0,0Oo
OF silver and silver certificates, and
$500, 100000 of green backs and
national banks notes, and $780,
900 900 of bank credits, known as
deposits confidence money!.
In other words $500,00O,OO0 OF
gold to redeem with, and $5,5O0,O 0O,-
900 of credit and currency to be
redeemed on demand III to D.-
Extract from Mel Branch's speech
in Georgia legislature.
This pressure will act like screw
press upon the business and people
of the country. Gradual at first, but
steadily increasing with time like the
tarn of screw till IN two or three
years the wealth will be pretty much
squeezed out of the plata peoples
possession and into the Golfers OF
the money ring.

The Fashion is Changing.

That we are approaching the era Of
draperies again cannot be denied, but
this will not make any difference with
the amount of dress goods sold, as the
underskirt will be faced, requiring
about the same quantity as the dresses
now do. The imported dresses sent
over for the exclusive trade show
pointed over fronts and trimmings
initiating this effect while others have
the skirt lifted on one side, with con-
trasting facing beneath. This means
that the lining foundation skirts will
come, and are somewhat in again A
few skirts of heavy material are made
simply with deep hem and worn over
silk petticoat, but the best of dress
makers will say that lined skirt sets
better. Skirts all decidedly clear the
ground, are close at the top, and from
three and a half to four and half
yards wide at the bottom, the former
width being more general. Clusters
of ruffies are placed at the foot, knees
and between, or at the foot and hips, or
only at the latter part of the skirt; fat
trimmings, as folds, gimp, mohair,
braids, etc., are very fashionable.

The Secretary Joins the Gold
Church.

The Chamber of Commerce of New
York held its one hundred and twenty
fifth banquet few weeks ago and there
was a big feast at Delmonico's on the
occasion. Secretay Carlisle made the
speech of the evening, and the speech
reads like that of an advocate pleading
for his client before a jury. The
national hank and gold ring were the
client on that occasion The Secretary
did his best to put ell the declarations
and political teachings of his past life
behind him. What the fee was from
his rich client will never be known.
Such an effort and such sacrifice
ought to command large sum. His
sophistries, misconstruction aud mis-
applications were ingenious and daring.
Cleveland's financial minister is now
a full fedged gold-bug, having made
public confession of his conversion at
the Delmonico feast. Rothchild, the
king of the money oligarchy, is no
sounder on the gold faith than Carlisle,
the lat est convert to the gold church.

acted queerly. and Patrolman Hubal-
sheimer was about to ask him what he
did there when he drew a revolver and
pointing 1t at his head fired. Then he
dropped to the pavement:
He was unconscious when the police
