AN EXTENSIVE DINNER.

lars Plate.

1t Cost at the Rate of Seven Hundred Dol
lars Plate.
History of the cuisine fairly teens
with descriptions of costly meals,'' re-
marked a resident of Brooklyn recent
ly-to writer for the Washington Star.
+%We read how that profigate Hello
gabalus, the Roman emperor, had a
single dish on his table once that cost
two hundred thousand dollars, and how
another Roman. Aelin Verus, gave a
supper to a dozen cronies that cost a
quarter of million dollars. Then
Vitellius, still another Roman and an
emperor, likewise entertained his
brother at little smack that used up
couple of hundred thousand; but
these We're ancient fellows, who had
nightingales' tongues and humming
birds brains and similar marvellous
dainties. Coming down to modern days
and plain, ordinary. everyday ham and
eggs, I ate a supper once in this very
town that cost a friend of mine four
teen hundred dollars. A gentleman
named Parker kept an establishment
devoted to entertaining gentlemen at
sundry games of chance. One night
the friend 1 speak of and myself were
killing an evening here together, when
we conceived the idea that a visit to
Parker's would be just the thing. We
put it intotexecution at once. 1 have
never gambled in my life, and my
friend has not done it since. We went
upstairs and entered the room just as
supper was announced. Ny friend did
not want to eat anything, but 1 was
hungry, and when some, plausible ras-
cal of dealer told me that there was
broiled SnithfieId ham f1anked with
pullets' eggs as a sort of side issue to
the otherwise gorgeous feast I broke
for the supper room, despite my com
panion's pleadings. OF course he fol-
lowed me when he found his protesta-
tions were useless, and we enjoyed the
feed immensely. When we came out
my friend pulled out twenty-dollar
bill and said he would play turn or
two to pay for our supper. 1 begged
him in turn not to do it, but he was as
obdurate as 1 had been. He lost his
twenty-dollar bill and tried to gel, it
back. In two hours fourteen hundred
dollars were gone glimmering. l have
never felt so downright hungry since
that slight request from a mere ac-
quaintance cannot keep me away from
a dead-head feed"

these four commodities are not relative
They have not been simultaneous, even
The depreciation in wheat has been vic.
lent and rapid, The depreciation Of
silver has been phenomenal No other
metal has deprecated to the same ex.
tent. we believe, except aluminium
Aluminium, within few years, has de-
preclated from 500 pound to 90 cents a
pound. It would be absurd for anyone
to contend that the price of gold mad
such a wonderful effect on the price of
aluminium. Why is it not equally alb
surd to contend that the price Of silver
or wheat or iron has been governed by
the same laws which have made such a
wonderful change in the price of alum
inum3 Why is it not wholly absurd TO
contend that those changes have been
made by the price Of gold2
For our part we cannot see how one is
any more absurd than the other. II It
could be true that the price of gold gov
erns the price of wheat and OF silver, it
would be equally true that gold had
made this wonderful change in the price
Of aluminium.
The price Of silver has been subject TO
remarkable changes There is no reason
for ascriblng these changes to the price
of gold We have sufficient explans-
tion in the improvement in mining ma
chinery, in the application of electricity to
mining, in the discovery ofnew processes
Of sm citing which tend to make the price
Of silver much less because it requires
less labor to produce given amouat OF
silver.
There is no other sufficient test OF
standard than labor II we accept that
as the standard unit Of measure, then 1t
is absurd to attempt to make silver OF

for the changes that have taken place in
wheat, aluminium, hogs or anything else
which is subject to the ordinary laws OF
commerce.

LABOR ls THe meAs,ieE

The contention that gold has apprecia-
ted in value is not true. On the con.
trary II any change has taken place in
the price Of gold within tue last 40 years
that change has been a depreciation.
The proof Of that is in the relation Of
gold to labor.
Labor is sold for money to q greater
extent than any other thing. There is
nothing scarcely that can not be repre-.
sented in value by labor. It is the final
unit by which the value Of all other
things must be measured If measured at
all.
Now IL the price Of gold had apprecia-
ted, labor would not command more
gold now than it did 90 years ago. but
the contrary is the fact. There is nc
doubt that the price Of labor has in
creased. as measured In gold, within th,
past 25 years Had the purchasing
power Of gold increased" says David A.
Wells. writing on this subj, ct, "durine

therefore, gold has unquestionably

LET the protectlonists make all they
can out Of the present situation; we
are still living under their Mckinley law
to promote prosperity II they prove
that their law does not promote. then
they prove precisely what we assert. that
prosperity is due to other cases. Here
we have the Mckinley law in
full blast and meantime they
are seeking various apologies for
a condition precisely contrary to the
condition which they prophesied would
obtain. The Mckinley law does not keep
prosperity agoing any more than the
Sherman law kept up the price Of silver

THE Republican members Of the
Senate held a caucus at the residence of
Senator Sherman last night. Although
no vote was taken on the question Of
party policy on the tariff bill, when the
caucus adjourned at midnight there was
a strong feeling among those who at
tended it that the bill could be defeated.
The hilarity manifested by some Of the
Senators at the condition Of the Demo
cratic majority is not the result Of
absolute satisfaction with the condition
Of the minority. Whenever the leaders
Of the majority find courage to press
their measures they will disturb the
apparently harmonious serenity Of the
minority. The members Of the Republican
party are not all MoKinleyites. When It
comes TO a test there are Senators who
will not oppose the amendments offered
by the Democrats. The Senators who
are quickest and loudest do not always
represent the Senators who have been
keeping up deep thinking There are
many OF them who recognize that modi -
dcation Of the Mckinley law is inevitable
they prefer modification to an abolition.
There are many who recognize that any
bill especially moderate reduction
Of the tariff as proposed now.
would be better. or at least, less harmful
than this prolonged agitation. When
the leaders of the Democrats find the
courage to make a decision one wav or
the other, necessarily the Republican
leaders will not take such hilarious
view Of the dissenslons IN the majority
they will obtain gravity from view Of
their own divided forces.
