and an advance in the price of
cotton should be positive
proof that the gold standard
does not control the price of
commodities. Corn has de-
clined in price because Of the
enormous crop made, and
cotton has advanced because
the indications now are that
the crop of the present year
will be about million and a
half bales less than that Of
last year. If being on the
gold standard controlled pri-
ces, it has operated in differ
ent directions at the same
time by raising the price of
cotton and lowering the
price of corn, which would
simply be a matter of impos-
sibility. The surplus of last
years cotton crop in conjuc-
ton with that of foreign ma
tiOns is about two million
bales, and if the crop of '95
had equalled that of "a there
would probably have been a
further decline in the price
of that staple, as is always
the result when the supply
is greater than the demand.

THE Commercial Appea

The Commercial Appeal
of last Friday contains a
lengthy article on standard
and measurement. Included
in that article is the follow
ing: eff for any cause there
is a change in the relative
value of the two metals, the
demand is at once concentra-
ted on the cheaper metal
while the dearer metal is
neglected. The former
therefore rises and the latter
falls until the equilibrium is
restored. There can be no
such correction where only
one metal is used as the stan
dard money! fit were not
that the free silver journals
have so often resorted to soph-
istry, the quotation might
be surprising, as it emma
ted from the brain of one
supposed to be competent to
throw light upon economic
questions. In order for both
metals to be the standard tits
absolutely necessary that the
value ofeach be the same. The
experience of this country is
that when there was a change
in the relative value of the
two metals, the dearer metal
receded from circulation,
therefore instead of the one
falling and the other rising
bringing about an equilibri-
UNI, the inevitable result is
the single standard composed
of the cheaper metal. In the
article alluded to the Com
mercial Appeal states that
one-half of a yard stick may
be made of wood and the
other half of metal. That is
true, but in order for it to be
the standard of measurement
it is just as necessary for the
entire length to be exactly
thirty-six inches as for the
value of the gold and silver
dollar to be equal in order
to be the standard of value. |
The standard ofmeasurment, |
when fixed by law, remains
the same, but congress has
no more power to fix the val
ne of gold and silver than
that of cotton, corn, domes-
tic or clothing. Jefferson,
the establisher of the demo-
cratic party, has truly said
that proportion between the
values of gold and silver is
mercantile problem altogeth-
er. !" If there were no fiuctu-
alton in the value of gold and
silver, it would not he a diff
cult matter to ascertain the
proportion between the two,
and there would be no OBJ
stacle preventing the free
coinage of both. But of the
two metals, gold is by far the
most stable, and because of
this fact arises the insur-
mountable difficulty of a sim
gle n ton maintaining each
of the two metals as the stan

Why should we complain?
Our fields are white with
cotton, the corn crop is the
largest in the history OF the
country, our barns are filled
with provender, the thrifty
housewife has quantities of
dried fruit, our hogs are fat
tening upon a bountiful mast,
our farmers have plenty of
pOta oes, peas, chickens, eggs
and butter--in fact we are in
the midst of peace and plenty
and we should indeed be
thankful. As Col. Patterson
said in his speech at White
Vile, it looks as if God has
gone into a conspiracy with
Grover Cleveland to bring
prosperity to our people. The

croakes hand times and cries
for free silver is indeed a pit

Distance Photographers.
Both amateurs and professionals
know that taking photographs out OF
doors is quite a different matter from
working in studio, where the subject
can be suitably posed and lighted, and
the camera can be put just at the right
distance from and at the most satisfac-
tory angle with it. Engineers, tourists
and other people, when trying to get
pictures of castles, churches, bridges,
vessels, landscapes and other things,
are sometimes confronted with this
difficulty. In order to place their IN
strument in sufficiently elevated posi-
ton to obtain the precise view they
want, they must be too far away.
Architectural decorations, inscriptions
on monuments, curious pieces OF con-
struction, odd markings in mountain
side. a delicate waterfall and similar
details are utterly lost on the sensitive
plate under such circumstances. They
come out too small to be visible. Hence,
a few years ago the English lens maker
Dallmeyer and some other foreigners
| attempted such modification OF the
ordinary camera as would adapt 1t to
loup-distance work. This object was
| generally secured by placing an addi-

GROWTH OF A BEARD.


On Reaching a Certain Length the Hair
Becomes Brittle and Splits.
If you are proud of fresh shave and
a smooth face you visit the barber at
least twice a week or probably every
other day. Suppose yoL commenced
this practice at the age Of II and con-
tinue it up to the age of 70, have you
any idea of the total length OF the
beard that would be removed in that
time? If your beard grows as rapidly
as that of the average man You must
have about one-tifth OF an incn removed
each week, or 10 2 5 inches each year.
Between the ages of II and 20 years o3
years must intervene, and each OF these
SO years gives almost foot OF beard
growth. or a total of $50 inches, ex-
elusive of fraction, or, to be more
exact. exactly Al feet and 2 inches OF
beard! The above is all figured on the
ASSUMPTION that the flaments Of the
beard maintain their average growth
of one-fifth of an inch duriSg the
period mentioned, which. OF course, is
out of the question. There is all the
difference in the world in beard growth.
Some men will raise ''stubble field
one-fourth of an inch in length, vile
another will hardly raise enough to
roughen his face. Then, again, we do
not wish to be understood as saying
that a man would grow half hun
drcd feet of beard in a lifetime, pro
sided he never shaved. On the con.
trary, the average man would not grow
more than 21z feet. On reaching a
length of Is or 90 inches the beard In
variably becomes brittle or slits and
after this the growth is very slow OF
ceases entirely.-St. Louis Republic.

good unless the patient is fortified by
an ample supply Of wholesome and nu
