her by his unwonted manner.
"Take your cloak off," he said sharply.
"You cannot go for your drive this after
noon. You don't often give up your time

She was 80 astonished that she at once
laid aside her cloak and hat and touched
the bell.

asked testify.

She scribbled something on q card and

chioncss, celebrated in Partisan circles for
her domestic virtues, from which she was
now taking holiday and very consid-
cradle holiday, too, gathereEher nerves to-
gether again and took renewed pleasure in
the society of the Russian gentleman. The
French marchioncss had already been re-
quested to leave three other hotels in Pc
tershof, but it was not at all probable that
the proprictors of the kurhaus would have
presumed to measure madame's morality
or immortality. The kurhaus committee
had benign indulgence for humanity
provided, of course, that humanity had q
purse-an indulgence which some Of the
English hotels would not have done badly
to initiate. There was story afloat con-
cerning the English quarter that tired
little English lady, of no Importance to
look at, probably not rich and probably
not handsome, came to the most respecta-
there the peace and quiet which her wea-
riness required
But no one knew who the little lady
was, whence she had come and why. She
kept entirely to herself and was thankful
for the luxury of loneliness after some
overwhelming sorrow.

proprietor of the hotel was distressed, but
he could not do otherwise than comply
with the demands of his guests
''It is not known who you are, made
moiselle, he said. And you are not ap-
proved of. You English are curious peo-
pie. But what can / dor You have a
cheap room and are Il stranger to me. The

| So the little tired lady had to go. That
was how the story went. 1t was not known
what became of her, but it was known
that the English people in the Kurhaus
tried to persuade her to come to them.
But she had lost heart and left in distress.
This could not have happened in the
Kurhaus, where all were received on equal
terms, those about whom nothing was
| known and those about whom too much
was known. The strange mixture and the
contrasts of character afforded endless
scope for observation and amusement, ant
! Bernardine, who was daily becoming mort
interested in her surroundings, felt thai
she would have been sorry to have ex

Western Prosperity.

According to one of the new Con-
gressmen from Mississippi an old
farmer in that state who had been a
strong advocate of silver was recently
asked which he would rather have,
innocent cotton or free silver. The
answer was prompt and emphatic,
"Nine. cent cotton by damn sight. "
This is q state of mind generally
prevalent in the South outside OF Mis-
sissippi, and its existence is recog-
nized by silver men from other Sec
tions.
To some extent the people of
Colorado and Montana sympathize
with this Mississippi farmer, for Colo.
RADIO has never been more prosperous
than now, while a representative from
Montana is quoted in the Washington
Post as saying that his State is ENJOY
ing as great a degree OF prosperity as
any state in the Union. Montana is
the state which nothing but free silver
could save, but if Its people are as
prosperous as any in the Union the
injury done them by the demonetiza-
ton of silver can't have been very
serious. Springfield Republican.

United States Currency Statistics.

The Reform Club has just issued
what promises to prove one of the
most valuable reference pamphlets in
its ies-"United States Currency
Statistics. 1t is designed to meet
the needs of those who wish to have
at hand, in compact form, the most
reliable statistics available upon cur
rency topics. 1t consists OF thirty
two pages, crowded with just those
statistics to which students of cur
rency questions have most occasion to
refer.
y While, as its name implies, it is de-
voted mainly to statistics relating to
United States currency, it also in
cludes comparative data as to foreign
countries at every important point.
A number of ingenious diagrams add
interest to the work, and full refer
ences to statistics not possible to be
included offer suggestions to those
making special Investigations.
The pamphlet can be obtained for
five cents from the Reform Club, 50

The following varieties of legal ten

the laws of the United States:
l. Gold coins, legel tender without
any express limit.
2. Silver dollars and Treasury notes
issued under the act Of 1890, legal ten

stipulated in the contract.
3. United States notes fgreenbacks),
legal tender except for interest on the
public debts and for duties on imports.
Since the resumption of specie pay
ments (1879) these notes have !, been
made receivable for duties by Treasury
order, to avoid the trouble OF carrying
gold TO and from the Custom House.
4. National bank notes, legal tenden

Theaters and Money.

Because rich countries have an
abundance of money, the silverites and
greenbackers jump to the conclusion
that the qusntity of money is what
makes a country ricn. This is Curl
Gus mistaking of effect for cause, which
shows how absurdly the cheap-money
advocates reason.
In all wealthy countries there is a
far larger number of theaters than in
poor countries. In the largest cities
where there is the greatest amount OF
wealth, theaters are much more nu-
merous than in the poorer sections of
the country. According to Populist
and silverite logic these facts prove
that the more theaters there are in any
place, the richer will the people be.
And the remedy for poverty would be
the building by the Government of a
great many more theaters in all parts
of the country.
If it he replied that theaters are
merely an evidence, and not the cause,
of wealth, then it should be easy to
see that the same holds true OF money.
Rich nations have large amounts of
money because they have a great deal
of wealth in other forms. But the
money did not make the wealth, any
more than the forty theaters in New
York City produced the great riches
owned there. The source of all hon
est wealth is in the industry and iu-
telligence of the people. More money
will not of itself make the slightest i'm
provement in the condition of those
whom the silverites say they want to
benefit.

Il The recent great increase in the

The Cry is Already True.

Salt Lake Tribune (Silver mine own
er's organ).-A correspondent asks us
what the outlook for silver remoneti-
zation is. The answer is ''good and
bad" Bad because the men who
caused demonetization have the money
and they can control elections. Bad
because there is going to be for a
good many years to come steady in
crease in the yield of gold from the
mines. Within three years the amount
is liable to reach $500, 900, 600 per'an-
mum, and the cry will be, ''What need
of silver money, there is enough of
gold?"

GRAVE RESULTS
Would Follow the Refusal to Pay
Out Gold, Says Secretary Carlisle.

WOulu FOLLOW the h0IuSaL 20 lay
Out Gold. Says Secretary Carlisle.
In his annual report, made public on
December 16, Secretary Carlisle ex-
poses the grave results that would fol-
low if the treasury department should
refuse to pay out gold, even for one
hour, as some good-intentioned per-
sons would have it do. He says:
"a refusal to pay gold on either
class of our notes, when demanded by
the holders, would instantly destroy
the parity of the two metals, reduce
the currency to silver basis, unsettle'
all values, impair the obligations Of all
existing contracts and precipitate a
financial, industrial and commercial
revolution more disastrous in it's con-
sequences to the labor and business
interests of the country than any panic
or depression that has yet occurred
in our history. The magnitude Of the
interests involved and the permanent
character of the injury that would be
inflicted by such an experiment for
bids it's favorable consideration, even
for moment, in the present condition
of our affairs. This condition is
unlike that existing in any other coun-
try, or that ever before existed in this
country, and, as already shown, is the
result Of a long-continued policy at
variance not only with the teachings
of experience but with the financial
law of the world.
Remedies which might have
been more or less effective under
other circumstances cannot be In
the least degree effective now, and
it would be futile and dangerous at
this time to attempt correction of
our financial disorders otherwise than
by total removal of their causes.
Long adherence to the false system
has to great extent undermined our
national credit, so far as it is related
to the maintenance of sound cur
rency, and it must be reconstructed,
not merely propped up by frail and
temporary supports. It required many
years to produce this result, but after
it has been produced it would be idle
to expect a return to q sound condi-
ton with all the causes of our fnan-
cial distress still in existence and IN
more active operation than ever be-
fore.
To paw out gold with one hand and
receive it back with the other would
be useless expenditure OF time and
labor, and vet this is just what would!be
done if gold should be exacted in pay
ment of customs or other public dues,
while the legal-tender notes are out

On The other hand there is a proba-
larger number of people equally
lous in spreading their views, who
convinced that the root of all un-
md money schemes and financial
'nbles is to be found in the assump-
. by governments of what is prop
the business of banks.
They regard our present issue
greenbacks as an unsafe
costly currency, and urgent
demand that they be retired

SMALL CHANGE.

Although the crushing defeat of the
Iilverites in the recent elections indi-
,ates the rapid decline Of the free coin
re agitation, it would be serious
stake to suppose that the deluslons
which it originated are dead for all
he to come. Error is many formed,
Ia the cheap money doctrines ex-
bundled by the free silver advocates
MI probably spring up again at an
krly day.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

The serious question that confronts
this country to-day is not whether the
action Of the Government in entering
into banking business in the past
was wise or foolish. but, having en-
tered into il, what must be done to
honorably discharge every RESPONSE
bility thus created, and fulfill every
pledge since given or implied. Alex
