A BLOT In n 1neater.

Serious riot arose in the Edinburgh
theater in connection with the wounded
feelings Of the servants. Those were fine
times for footmen. When their masters
attended the theater, they had free adj
mission TO the upper gallery. This was
ell very we'll so long as the management
did nothing to offend them. But the
Scottish servants Of those days had
keen sense Of dignity and would not
submit to be satirized. So when the
farce High Life Below Stairs" was an
nounced the footmen Of Edinburgh re-
solved in full committee that they
would not allow such a scandalous libel
on themselves to be produced on the
boards
A letter WAS written to the manager OF
the theater, in which 1t was stated that
band Of 70 men had sworn at any cost
TO stop the production Of the piece This
letter was foolishly read aloud on the
stage, and then in spite Of the threat it
contained an attempt was made to per-
form the farce. Hereupon the upper gal
lery turned rebellious. The noise and
discord were prodigious. The masters
In the body Of the house went up to
demonstrate with their eontumacious
servants, but the latter would not listen
to the voice Of authority. Order was at
last restored, but not before the foot
men had been expelled in body from
the house. There was no free admission
for footmen after this.-Gentleman's

The trouble that may arise from the
use Of "tanglefoot" fly paper is not con-
fined entirely to flies, as was shown in
Portland, Conn, the other day. A

spread it about the house. Shortly
afterward great connection was heard
In the pantry. Investigation showed
that kitten had become mixed upwith

Senator rurpie a Blind Leader.

Senator Turpie of Indiana tries to
break the force Of what is known as
the hammer test" of money-that is,
the fact that q gold coin beaten out OF
shape retains its value, while a silver
coin treated in the same way loses half
its value-by claiming that, on account
of the one-tenth alloy a $40 goldpiece
would only be worth 80 If 1t were put
under the hammer. Senator Turpie ought
TO know better than to delude his fol-
lowers with such misleading nonsense.
The weight Of the pure gold In a $40
coin Is the same as in an ingot worth
$40. The alloy has nothing to do with
the value Of our gold coins, as any jew
elry manufacturer who melts down dou-
bic eagles for use in his business can
tell the Indiana statesman. 1t is the
29 2-l0 grains Of gold which constitute
the value Of the standard dollars Of
20 $40 grains. and that weight of gold
is worth just as much when the coin
containing 1t is melted or hammered
out Of shape. Thousands Of $40 and $50
pieces are melted every year for use in
the arts. Does Senator Turpie suppose
that business men are foolish enough TO
pay e10 for 80 worth Of gold merely be-
cause it happens to be in the form of a
coinI

CONCERNING FREE SILVER.
Some Historical Facts For 10 TO 1-ers to
Masticate.

Masticate.
In his recent sound money speech at
Hillsboro, Tex, Judge Rufus Hardy
cited the following historical facts
The United States today has larger
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
1t has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country on earth
today has Of all kinds Of money.
1t has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today.
1t has more gold than silver, and the
volume of its silver circulation is great
er per capita than the entire circulation
of gold, silver and paper reduced TO
silver-of any free coinage nation.
The United States under gold stand
ard-since 1878 -has maintained q
greater circulation per capita than it
ever did before
There has been five times more silver
coined under the gold standard, from
1878 till now, % years, than there was
under free coinage from 1892 to 1878,
81 years.
Every nation that has adopted the
gold standard, except one Or two who
are on deprecated paper bases, has in
creased its circulation.
No nation Of first class civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type Of free sill
yer nation on earth on double standard,
SO called, and its per capita circulation
is SAL.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 1878 more than the entire
circulation of Mexico.
The wages Of no free silver country
on earth average third Of those in the
United States.
No country on earth has in practice
double (gold and silver standard.
No country for 200 years (since COM
MERGE became internationaD ever has in
practice had a double standard.
The proposition that there can be but
one standard is in fact self evident.

ne Inquiries lOI lOoJ dit W July -
This record Of crops and prices proves
that instead Of being caused by an in
crease or decrease in the use Of silver
money, the price Of cotton depends in
every case on the relation between sup
ply and demand. Larger crops have re-
suited in falling prices, and when in a
few years with an increased crop prices
advanced it was the increased European
demand, which meant that the crop was
not larger as compared with consump-
ton, which regulated the price. The
record further proves that in the year
IS45, when the silverites claim that sil-
yer was the unit Of value, the price OF
cotton in the United States was lower
than at any time in the history Of the
country. In view Of these facts we
should hear no more Of the price of cot
ton as a reason for debasing our currency
