CHIMMIE FADDEN.

The remarkable success of the CHM
mie Fadden sketches of Edward w.
Townsend in the New York Sunday
Sun, and also in the first collection OF
them into book form, has caused the
appearance of second volume, In
which Chimmle carries his quaint dia-
lect and droll pranks to equally divert
Ing conclusions. The official title or
this second edition is "Chimmie Fadden
Explains: Major Max EXpounds." and

more than compensated for by the ad-
vantage OF stable currency" Mr..
Wisner would also, when necessary,
Issue plain greenbacks, redeemable IN
either gold, gold certificates or silver
certificates, ut the option Of the gov
ernment. This plan Is substantially
the same as that advocated number
Of years ago by the late Secretary Win
dom. The objections to 1t are obvious.
In the first place, by referring all
values to a gold measure, 1t encourages
the artificial appreciation OF gold and
the artificial depreciation OF silver and
of all commodities except gold. In the
second place, 1t offers fine opportunities
to the large banking interests to corner
the available good supply and thus
speculate In silver bullion at the gov
ernment's expense. In the third place,
1t condemns silver to distrust, thus by
that act alone tending to discredit 1t
among the mints of the world; and II
gold Is to be the sole measure Of value,
as proposed, 1t violates both reason and
logic by trying to rig up silver bullion
currency backed by gold, thus turn
Ing the treasury into kind of huge
nursing bottle for silver II such a cur
rency, why not one of copper bullion,
lead, zinc or aluminium. or even Of an
thracite coal? The truth that single
gold standard means gold monometall-
ism, falling prices and an unjust con-
traction Of the dollars debt-paylng
power appears to have escaped Mr..
Wisner; yet this truth, or perhaps we
should say this ypothesis-though to
us 1t Is truth-lies at the very base of
the whole question OF blmetallism vs..
gold monometalllsm.
The last exposure" of Coin Is by
Stanley Waterloo, who helped Harvey
to write Coin. and Is entitled Honest
Money" Chicago: Equitable Publish
ing company. 1t is a sarcastic re-
sponse which shows the authors versa
tility in being able to write with equal
force on either side of a given ques-
tion The purport Of the present book
in brief is that gold alone is honest
money, that silver is too cheap and too
common to be admitted to the mints
except as token money representing
gold, and that because the bankers and
brokers and loaners of money general
ly want gold monometallism, the
American people ought to tumble over
themselves to comply with this desire.
Mr.. Waterloo appears to attach no i'm
portance to the arguments Of men like
Farwell. President Andrews, Balfour
and others who show by convincing
statistics that the restoration of BIZ
metallism throughout the world is alb
solutely essential to a return of stabil-
ity in the processes Of business. He
has eyes and ears only for the men
who, under the plea Of Sound money"
are endeavoring to nail the United
States to gold monometallic stand
ard, and thus enable themselves to
pick it's pockets at their leisure.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Owing to the unexpected success OF
the little quarterly called MOODS. lts
nublishers have decided to admit the
general public to the ground floor OF
the second volume, by offering that
volume for sale at all newstands. Here
tofore, only $50 copies were Issued, and
these were circulated only among Sc
lect subscribers. The second volume
will contain 100 pages. will be printed
in a new face of Jenson type on enam-
elled bookpaper and will be embellishcd
by many original pen-and-ink and wash
pictures and designs. 1t Is gratifying
to note the growing attention nova
days paid to once neglected details Of
the mechanical construction Of books;

The remarkable success Of w. Fl.
Harvey's exposition of the free silver
side Of the current monetary contro-
versy known as Coins Financial
School, his profits from which are
said to equal $1,000 a week, has in
epired O host of imitators to enter the
same field. Three of these imitation
pamphlets lie before us. One is termed
"Sam's Dilemma: A Parable Bearing on
the Silver Question and It's Solution"
Chicago: Star Publishing Coz. The
author, John Lundie, admits the need
Of both gold and silver in the cur

the throwing of the whole burden on

entitled Cash VS.. Coin" (Chicago
Charles H. Kerr & Coz. 1t occupies
in many respects the same ground oc-
cupied by John Lundie, but is more
emphatic in its advocacy Of a single
gold standard. Mr.. Wisners platform,
In brief, is this: Keep as the stand
ard of value the gold dollar of pres
ent weight and fineness. Let the gov
ernment receive silver bullion without
limit, at the market price, and issue
therefor silver certificates, payable on
demand In silver bullion or coin, but
always at full value as measured in
gold. These silver certificates, always
payable in full gold value, would float
side by side with gold coin or certifl-
Gates. They would be of equal value
and readily interchangeable The gov
ernment would lose on any decline In
the price Of silver, and wopld gain by
any increase The larger use Of silver.

THE BUSINESS MAN.

How does the happy man
Improve each shining day
He's always hustling while he can
To make his business pay.
He has window for display,
He greets you with smile;
He keeps his goods in heat array,
And everything's in style.
Hard times, indeed, he does not know;
He's learned the saying wise:
II you would have your business grow,
Be sure and advertise.
And SO he's always feeling gay,
And always free from debt;
And when there comes a rainy day,
He'll not be IN the wet.
