It was at a lecture; the room was hot
and crowded, and Mrs. Bittersweet
noticed that her husband was suffering
under u sense of injury, says the Chi

"Nyhat Is It, dear?" she whispered,
under cover of one OF the speakers

Mr.. Bittersweet's shifts became moro
audible. Its the a~boininablo odor OF
pcrfumery in the ROOM" he pulled.
I'm almost nsphyxiated by it. Why,

percd his vie, with that cheerfulness
always displayed by the friends OF the
sufferer in such cases. ''Do listen to the
lecture; 1t is just splendid"
"Humph; l suppose you like the
odor; women always do like whatever
costs money. Do you happen to know
what Is spent annually on perfumery in
America alone?"
mo, dear, I don't. What is ftp"
"Um-well, l don't remember the
exact figures just now. but l assure you
it is something enormous. For my part
l think that the carrying Of perfumes
into public places should be prohibited
by law, and the amount of money
which would otherwise have been
wasted upon them might then go to-
ard cndowing IN asylum for those
idiots who don't know that others have
rights in public"

He came bach before long with smil-

in the violet bonnet, who sat next to

Taking 1873 as the starting point
it will be seen that in 1S49 cotton
had declined 47.3 per cent, while
the decline in silver had only been
13.1 per cent. The very next
year, 1880, there was sharp adj
vance in cotton end a small decline
in silver, the advance in cotton be-
ing 12.S per cent, and the decline
in silver II per cent. Coming
down to 1886 we find decline in
cotton as compared with 1873 Of
ALB per cent, while silver had de
c!lned Only 23.2 or less than one
half of the cotton decline. In 1898,
the last year Of the table, the show
ing is decline in cotton of Gle
and Of silver AIS over the year
1878, or about SO 1-3 per cent
greater decline in cotton than there
had been in silver"
Under the Suns treatment the
hgureS OF the IaOle speak qulle
differently from the usual notes
they are made to give out.
The importance Of the assump-
ton of the dominating influence
exercised by silver over cotton is
sufficient, we think, to call for a
closer scrutiny of facts behind this
array of yearly averages. And for
this reason we 90 behind the re-

From this extract exhibit every
reader can form his own conclusion
He will see that from Jan, Ist,
1894, to March grid, silver fell 81
cents, or 1873 per cent; and silver
5-I6ths, or AZ per cent. From
March grid to May 5th silver rose
4 cents, or 6.S per cent: cotton
fell 3-Sths or So per cent. From
May 5 to July 7 both commodities
declined shade. From July I to
Sept. I silver rose 5-8th or one per
cent; while cotton fell 3-Sths or
Al per cent. From Sept. to
Nov. 3 silver remained about sta
tionary, falling only IA per cent.
or 4-1oths per cent; and cotton fell
1-I6 cents per pound or II per
cent. From Nov. 3 to March 2,
1895, cotton remained completely
stationary. In this period silver
fel! 3 IS cents. At the latter date
the present rise in cotton set in
silver following a week later.
These illustrations of the fallacy
of the asserted hand in hand move
ments of cotton and silver, could
be multiplied indefinitely. All
through the table-and the same is
true of the quotations of all form
er years since silver was demone-
tized-the reader will detect that
the reverse is true; that cotton
sometimes advances while silver is
falling and vice versa. For in
stance on March 3, 1895, silver
touched its lowest point or SO cents
per ounce. Cotton was then
worth 7 rs cents per pound. March
2, l895-a year thereafter-sllvel
has risen to 90 3-S cents an ounce
while cotton had declined to S Is
cents a pound. On March 81,
1904, silver was 81 cents an ounce
and cotton was 7 10 cents pei
pound. At the corresponding date
1895, silver had risen to 65 cents
an ounce while cotton was 5 81
cents per pound.

Greenville Times. !

Greenville Times.
Two years since a table Of COM
parison in prices of cotton and /
yer, the yearly average OF each be-
ing given, was prepared by the IL
to ! free silver authorities. 1t ran
from 1873 to 1893 and was present
ed az Il demonstration of the con-
trolling influence Of silver upon
cotton; that the fluctuations in the
two commodities moved pari passu.
This table has been recently and
widely re-published. 1t has in
fact become a stock argument in
favor of the IL to l proposition.
One of the most distinguished of
the public men in Mississippi has
accepted this table of averages as
warrant for asserting that the iden-
tity in relationship and movement
between the articles is proven as
almost automatically abs dilute.
Another able citizen in a letter to
the public asserted "as fact, that
since the decentralization Of silver
the fluctuations in the prices Of
cotton had Kept pace with those of
silver bullion with the regularity
and precision which the clock
ticks to the oscillations Of the pen
dulum."
Certainly if it is true that any
rise in the price Of silver appreci-
ates cotton, a powerful argumen; is
presented to cotton planters for
tree coinage; even with the result
of going to silver recommendation.
The following is from that paper:
The casual observer glancing
his eye ovor this table, as publish
ed in the Clarion-Ledger, might be
led to the conclusion that the huc-
tuations in the great staples are
dependent on the decline or adj
vance Of silver, but a close analysis
Of the table will prove the very
opposite. We furnish here a few
calculations based upon the table
as to cotton and silver:
