The novel feature Of this gown. next
to the sleeves, is the white leather
trimmings upon it. These straps Of
white leather are set in the sleeve
puffs and again in the round waist.
They have a touch OF stitching upon
them and are very rich in effect against
the yelveteen.
The hat is one of the modified AL
pines. daring at one side, and trimmed
with ostrich trimming and white rib
bon bows. combined with white flowers
in harmonious places. This is q very
rich gown for fall wear in the streets
The only touch of fur is a strip lining
the high collar Ii sets off the face and
looks very pretty.
IN TAN AND BLACK.
Black is always fashionable. Other
c0lors may come and go, but black
holds its own always. Many ladies will
not wear q suit that has not few
touches of this black, as they think
they do not appear 10 advantage with
out IT, This is particularly the case with
blondes. who find the black an excel
lent foil for their fair locks. There Is
no denying that tan is the color for
blondes. in spite Of all efforts to make
blue and bright greens their own tint.
The color of the dress must match the
hair. or there Is not the harmonious
appearance desired by every dresser.
That is the reason I'm the opinion OF
many color experts that blondes are
more admired than brunettes, because
they can match their hair with q pref
Nv shade of cloth and look the poem
that a blonde woman always is.
A very neat outing suit for this time
of the wear, and one that Is worn by
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, is a black and
tan one that has, for its principle feat
ure a tan cape. The cape is of dull tan
cloth. exactly the color OF the wearer's
hair. which is like faded leaves The
cane Is trimmed with black embroidery
and has large fancy everything points
that look as if appliqued on. A good
effect is produced by having the points
not fastened on. as they fall easier than
though they We're immovable. Many
fashionable dressers viii not allow their
noints-so fashioned now-to be sewed
down tight.
The neck of the cape is very high;
+igbt one of fashion. II is Dordered

permanent system of currency, and
It became necessary to divise a
more stringent remedy: and then
the genius OF John Sherman came
into play. Through his manipula-
tions, first as chairman of the Sem
ate finance committee-then as
secretary of the treasury, silver
was demonetized and coin constru-
ed to mean gold, and so bonds that
originally cost Coo on the dollar
are now payable in dollars, worth
1000, and we will never pay them.
The basis of National Bank notes
is perpetual. The feat is accom-
plished-to do this it required the
genius of John Sherman backed by
the bulldog determination of a
highwayman like Grover Cleve-

April 5th, 1895.
Editor LOUISIANA PopULIsr:


In so much discussion of the
merits and demerits, advantages
and disadvantages of monometal-
ism and bimetalism, respectively,
it seems to me that we are beating
about the bush; we are creating q
great shell to knaw away in order
to get at a very small kernel.
To one informed of course of
our financial policy and Legislation
since the outbreak of the civil war
the reason of the demonetization
of silver is too evident to want
elucidation.
In 1862 Mr.. Chase, the then
secretary of the treasury, said, in
speaking of the National Banking
act. ''The central idea of the
measure Is the establishment of a
sound, uniform currency through
out the country upon the founda-
ton of national credit, Tin other
words upon a national debit max
ing this the settled policy of the
country"
-Four years later, MIR. McCul-
loch SAID, ''The National Banking
system was intended, while not
invading the rights of the States.
nor damaging private interests. to
furnish the. people with a perma-
ReHt paper circulation
Here we find the founders of a
financial policy proposing to build
a permanent superstructure on
what2 On a national debt repre-
sented by bonds having but 20 years
to run. The idea of permanent
currency system for all time, based
on 20 gear bonds. 1t is too plain
that the intention was to perpetu-
ate the debt and the bonds.
1t was never dreamed that this
country would so soon recover
from the war-and so rapidly pay
off the billions of debt heaped upon
us by the war.
When it was discovered that we
could do this-and thereby destroy
the foundation of Mr.. Chase's per-
currency system, it became
necessary to devise ways and means
OF preventing it. Accordingly in
1869, an act was passed making
all obligations of the government
payable in coin, and thus eviden-
ces OF debt that were bought and
paid for with 6Oc paper became
coin obligations. But it was soon
evident that thus hampered we
would be no great while paying off
he national debt and so destroy

he said ''Thou shalt take no usury."

Don't tell the people that interest

to make them believe it is some
thing different. Have some more
chicken. Keep up big clatter on
church doctrine. By doing so you
will make big reputation for
yourself, get your salary increased,
and not interfere with the business
methods of the members Of your

siness after his own methods. Have

you to feed them soup. 1t will
keep them from dying long enough
for me to get in my work, but it
will not satisfy hunger. When
labOring man or woman talks about
justice and human rights, call them
anarchists. This will set all the
big dailies against them and the
courts will issue injunctions and
then put them in Jail. In conclu
sion let me tell you something that
you do not know. God is watch

churches put together. In fact it
is Christianity or legs and in mo-
tion, and is very dangerous to nay

like Christ did, or lose your jobs
