,9PLEASE REMEW YOUR SURSCRLPTIOM EOR 1895

First-We demand the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver on equal terms
with gold at the present legal ratio of 10
to |, without asking the permission Of
Great Britain or any other foreign ma
ton.
Second-The National Government
has the right and should exercise it to
use its option as to the kind of legal ten
der money with which it will pay any
debt or obligation, and that it should
always give preference to the money that
is below par in order to appreciate il and
maintain pa ity among all of its legal
tender money.
Third-We demand that Congress
make it unlawful for any note, bond
mortgage or other obligation to stipulate
for payment in gold only, or in any other
particular kind of legal tender money of
the United States.
Fourth-Ours is the only political
party that has ever had the honesty and
patriotism to demand in its national
platform for a graduated income tax.
The Supreme Court OF the United States,
in IFS recent decision, has declared that
our Constitution does not allow this Just
and equitable tax. In the language OF
Justice Harlan "The practical, if not
the direct, effect Of the decision to.day is
to give to certain kinds of property a
position of favOritism and advantage that
is inconsistent with the fundamental
principles OF our social organization, and
to invest them with power and influence
that is perilous to that portion of the
people upon whom rests the larger part
OF the burdens OF the Government, and
who ought not to be subjected to the
dominion OF aggregated wealth any more
than the property OF the country should
be at the mercy of the lawless."
Fifth-Thereiore, we demand an
amendment to the United States Con-
stitution to provide for a graduated in
come tax.
STATE-First-We view with alarm
the recent decision of the Court of APP
peas of this State in the Bank Tax Case,
and believe it to be subversive of the
spirit and letter OF the Constitution itself,
which requires that all property shall be
taxed alike-the property of corpora
ton just like an individual. The effect
of this decision is to exempt property of
the banks from all local taxation, and
thereby throws the whole burden Of
municipal government upon the other
classes in our cities and towns. We
sincerely trust that the court will yet
sustain the sovereign will OF the people
by rever al of their decision.
Stcond-We denounce the system
that practically gives a monopoly to the
American Book Trust of our common
school books, and insist that the largest
competition should be given in the pur-
chase of all books for the benefit of the
children OF our State.
Third-We deplore the action of the
General Assembly in increasing the
salaries OF Judges vi the Court of APP
peals and other officials in our State at a
time when all values are decreasing and
distress is manifest in every household,
and demand economy and retrenchment
in every department Of government, and
promise our best endeavors to decrease
the burden of taxation as far as may be
consistent with good government.

There can be no prosperity for the
people until the people can get fair and
profitable prices for the products Of
their labor. Under the British gold
standard the profits that ought to go
into the pockets of the people are re-
tanned in the vaults of the money deal
ers, We say to The Sun, therefore, that
the free coinage men are assuredly
contending for higher prices and a
higher level of prosperity. Ii higher
prices didn't mean deprecated gold and
silver money in 1870, they don't mean
that now.
Meanwhile, we once more call the at
tention of the people to the fact that
by the admission of the goldbugs sound"
money means the present level OF low
prices and depressed business.

though it was at premium over green
bacFs, and the people got along very
prosperously without it, each coin would
buy then not quite half as much as it
will buy now.
Under free coinage silver will not be
as valuable as gold is now, but it will
be as valuable as gold will then be, for
every ounce of silver, coined or lincoln
ed, will have impaired to it the potential
power OF redemption money, and the
demand for gold will cease to that extent.
Silver will increase in value and gold
will lose part of its value, until both
metals meet at the legal ratio.
Should gold go to premium as the
result Of free coinage, we should not
then, as some Of the ignoramuses claim,
have single silver standard, for the
minis would still be open to gold. In
the nature of things such premium
would be but temporary, but even ii it
were long continued not an interest in
the country would suffer from it. We
would have bimetallis prices, and the
people would enjoy the benefits OF con-
stantly increasing prosperity. The worst
that could happen under free silver
coinage would be thousand times bet
ter for the people than the present con-
dition OF affairs under the British gold

accompanied by bottle of gin and
some crackers-the ordinary gin and
crackers of commerce. AS he
awaited the bites at the bait he in
dulged in bites of the crackers after
previously soaking the same in the
fragrant contents of the bottle.
Now the gin-soaked crumbs, so the
story goes, that dropped into the purl-
ing stream attracted the little fishes
thereabouts who came TO the surface,
swallowed the same with evident
relish and swan unsteadily away
through the water. But. after
while, one fish came along and
after nibbling at the crumbs proceeded
to devour them voraciously without,
apparently, any harmful effect. Its
capacity interested the fishermen who
shortly began to dip bits of cracker in
the gin and throw them to the fish. They
were eagerly gobbled up and still
this peculiar fish gave no evidence of be-
ing influenced by the gin. Finally, after
having run out of crackers, the fisher
man, his curiosity and wonder aroused
10 a ahigh pitch, took the bottle of gin, and
inviting the fish to the shore,
he offered it the liquor and
the fish opened its mouth and
drank it down without turning IA
scale, so to speak. 1t neither staggered, +,
nor sang Sweet Marie" nor wanted
to fight, nor offered to embrace the
other fishes, nor in any way showed any
indication that the liquor had affected
it in the least.
The fisherman allowed that he had
never seen fish like this fish. So he
scooped it up in his net and carried it
to hermit far back in the woods. The
hermit knew everything, as hermits
always do. and after listening patiently
to the fisherman's wondrous tale he ex-
amined the fish critically and then de-
clared that it was 'mullet head"-a
simple-everyday mullet head.
"And what is mullet head?" the
curious fisherman demanded to know.
"A mullet head,' replied the vener-
able sage slowly and with solemnity-
"a mulet head, my son, is a thing that
has no brains"
We trust this explanation will prove
to our correspondent sufficient war
rant for the figure of speech about which
he enquiries.

AS TO MULLET HEADS.

We took occasion to speak OF a mullet
head in these columns the other day.
We remarked that anybody who pre-
tended to believe that the Hon. ELLERY
II. WILSON retired from spring politics,
because his chances for reelection were
against him, could be set down as a
"mullet head"
Now an esteemed correspondent, who
evidently reads this newspaper very
watchfully. demands 20 know what a
mullet head Is. We confess that we
haven't looked it mp in encyclopedias or
in dictionary and DO not know whether
il is to be found there or not. Maybe il is;
maybe not. But our acquaintance with
mullet heads comes from story which
may be familiar TO some of our readers.
but which, evidently. this esteemed cor
respondent has not heard. The mulet
head, 50 far as we know, has its origin
in this story:

was fishing from the banks n pprling
stream, his placid occupation being

FIRST-CLASS ARMOR PLATE.

On Monday there was tested section
of the nickel steel Harveyed armor that
is to be used on the frst-class battleships
of the navy now building and the results
were immensely satisfactory. Indeed
they demonstrated that these new ships
will have the best armer of its thickness
is inches-in the world.
The test OF our armor plate is most Sc
we're, much more severe than actual
service would involve, when the shots
would in only rare cases be direct with
cut dropping or departure from abso-
lutte right angle. Yet the
plate selected from lot built
by the CARNEGIEs successfully
resisted direct shot from 12-inch
rifle, answering more than the contract
requirements of resistance to th fero-
cious impact OF shell weighing 800
pounds, such as has gone through II
inches Of armor and fired from distance
of only 900 feet. The first shot tried at
the test had striking energy of five and
one half tons, ana the smell pierced the
plate only four inches and stuck there,
without making a semblance of a crack
in the plate. A second shot, more
heavily charged to secure a striking
force of eleven tons, entered seven inches
into the plate and only succeeded
in making "a thin vertical crack, while
that part of the shell not swallowed up
in the plate was burst into hundreds of
small pieces.
luasmuch as naval engagements
with armored ships Will scarcely
take place with the combatants less
than mile apart, it is evident that the
armor of our new battle ships will be
good stuff TO get behind. Aud no armor
of any ship afoat could meet the test of
these new Harveyed plates.

more dressy effect Is obtained by adding a
velvet collar TO that, leaving the material

the velvet should be sewed over founda-
