THE VALUE OF SILVER.
MONDAY,

The ratio 40 to ~ indicates that 16
ounces of silver equals in value one
ounce of gold, and the populists want to
establish that as the ratio by their
peculiar fiat principle: Sixteen, to one
comes far from representing the intrinsic
value of silver to gold, for in bullion the
market value is 80 to 1, and consequently
there is now but 4S cents worth of silver
in a dollar, since the ratio of 1515 to
i is the present ratio observed in
the coinage of silver. Every silver
dollar is therefore lie. It is not worth
100 cents, only that the government
shoulders the burden by making it re-
ceivable at face value for public dues.
Bu. it is credit money nevertheless, and
loses its worth outside of the immediate
boundaries of the United States. The
design of the constitution in first coming
the silver dollar was to make it worth
100 cents, and in 1892 it was was worth
intrinsically 100 cents. Then the market
value of the bullion was as 151S to /.
Later, in 1884, the market value
of the bullion was Is to l, and the
government, still recognizing scrupulous
honesty, put little more silver in the
dollar to correspond with the decline in
value. Now the ratio is 81, to /, and il
pace had been kept with the decline,
the silver dollar would now contain
twice as much silver as it does. By re-
calling previous issues and coming
silver at the changed basis, the silver
dollar would not be today the despised
metalit is. We should have true bimet-
alism

HIGH HEELS CONE FROM PERSIA
Climatic Necessity There and Jealous
Device in OId-Time Venice.

Climatic Necessity There and a Jealous
Device In Old-Time Venice.
Heels, it is said, owe their origin to
Persia, where they were introduced
upon sandals in the shape of blocks of
wood fixed underneath, such being the
root idea of those deformities to which
lovely woman owes so many of her
woes, says the New York Journal a
high, unsteady heel, it is an open
secret, Injuries the leg tendons and af-
fects the spine as well as internal or
gans, which are liable to be displaced
by the thrown forward position en-
tailed. In Persia, the first home of
the heel, however, these blocks of
wood are used simply to ''raise the
feet from the burning sands of that
country, and were two inches high.''
With the Persian women these blocks
were vastly higher than those affected
by men, their height being from eight
cen inches to two feet, thus becoming
more of the nature of stilts than any
thing else. Strangely enough, many
years after a similar fashion came into
vogue in Venice; but the motive in this
case was comically different, for 'sby
its means jealous husbands thought
they would be able to keep their wives
at home.'' The supports of such shoes
in Venice were called ''chimneys,'' and
to appease the vanity of the ladies,
and doubtless also to sugar the pill
were made highly ornate. The height
of these chimneys determined the rank
of the wearer, an extra coating for the
pill, ''the noblest danes being per
mitted to wear them one-half yard OF
more high"

Christmas was observed at Louise Home
as Christmas has been observed there for
years past. There was an absence of
noise, hustle and commotion and the only
Indication of anything out of the routine
was the presence of holly and crows foot
woven in wreathes and festooned around
the chandeliers. The portraits of the late
w. w. Corcoran and Of his daughters were
twined round with evergreen. This morn
ing nearly all the ladies who could do so
went to their respec tive churches, and the
dinner which they ate near midday was Of
the best. or course there was turkey and

to those who are confined to their rooms

SECRETARY MORTON ON FINANCE.
He Defends n Paragraph I'm His An
nual Report.


Secretary Morton's attention was yester-
day called to the fact that he was being
criticised. especially by some of the Grange
papers. for the following statement. which
appeared near the close Of his last annual
report:
when the standard coin of the republic
shall be made of metal worth as much at
ter it Is melted as it purports to be worth
in coin, and the mint value and the bullion
value OF all coined money is nearly the
same. will not the American farmer and
all other citizens become more permanently
prOsperousY
In reply the Secretary said he thought
that no more an invasion Of the economic
domain. 10 more a discussion of finance,
than that made by Secretary Rusk in his
report for 1S9O, wherein he declared:
THE recent legislation looking to the
restoration Of the bimetallic standard Of
our currency and the consequent enhance
ment of the value of silver has unQuestion-
ably had much to do with the recent adj
vancement in the price Of cereals"
This" said Secretary Morton. referred
to the Sherman law, which has recently
vanished from the statute books without
having accomplished the vast rise in the
price of cereals. which. it was prophesed,
would be logical sequence of its enact
ment." But the Secretary said he still held
that the farmers. with their surplus prod
ucts, buy money, and that 1t Is as import
ant for them to demand the highest quality
in the money they buy. as 1t is for the con-
sumers Of farm products to demand the
highest quality in them.
But" continued the Secretary, admit
ting that the American farmer would get
twice as much in silver for the products as
he does get in gold Of we were on a silver
basis), would he not have to pay for all
those things which he Is obliged to pur-
chase likewise twice as much as he pays
now? Or, is 1t understood that free
coinage will be like the protective tariff
so adjusted as to raise the price Of all the
farmer sells and lower the price of all he
has to buy? Can it be possible that the
farmer Is gullible enough to believe that
nobody else's services or products are to
be doubled in value by the free coinage
except his own?"
