 Have plain pine frame made the size Cf tho picture. Procure from drug gist quantity of cork covered paper, such as bottles are packed in. It is usually given away. Cover the frame with this, then give two coats of ivory white paint or gild with gold or bronze paint. Another way is to cover the pine frame neatly with plush or velvet. A narrow gilt molding next the picture gives q pretty finish to either frame.
 At the picture stores they give away the triangular pieces that arc left after making a frame. These make a part of a very pretty frame for a square or round picture. Take piece of pine board an inch thick and II inches square. Plane it smoothly and cut of the corners to form an octagon. Cut a round hole in the center 10 inches in diameter. Cover this frame neatly with plush, paste strip of the plush an inch wide around the inside edge of tho cir cle. Now take the triangular bits of molding. They may be had of all sizes, according to the width, but for this frame they will need to measure seven inches the longest way. Four of these are to be placed one on each corner. Glue will hold them nicely. Fasten the picture to tho back, and it is ready to hang. If glass is needed. it may be held i'll place by strips of cloth pasted around the edges, which will hold it to the frame. Tlo frame should be hung diamondwise-thati is. with a corner at top and bottom.

These figures make complete answer
to all the lying statistics gotten up by
the gOldbugs TO show that the degrade
ton Of silver from its constitutional
function rs money metal has not af.
fected the price Of cotton. Neither the
Bland Allison act Of 70 nor the Sher.
part Of the Sherman act Of '73 which
made the gold dollar Of 25.8 grains the
unit or standard Of value. Consequently
no amount Of silver coined under either
Of those acts could fully check the fatal
fall in prices inaugurated by the act OF
73. Until the passage Of that act every
dollar of debt or dollar Of representative
money was ultimately payable or re-
dee,nable in dollar or unit Of value Of
412 I g grains Of standard silver. That
made silver standard or primary money
the same az gold now Is, and to show
what In the natural effect Of increasing
the country q supply Of primary or real
money we need only note the difference
in the price Of cotton In 1646. which the
Gazette says was w low as cents,
and itE price after an abundant coinage
Of primary money, after the great dis.
covery Of gold in California and Aus
trali2.
For the season 1912 3 the total cotton
output Of the world including the stock
on hand was 8, SSS, 900 bales, and the
average Liverpool price for New Orleans
middlfng was 4.43 pence. For the
season 1647-S the worlds output was
3. COZ, 900 bales, and the average price
4. 20 pence. Here we note a smaller
output with smaller price. But from
this time on. with the rising tide in real
money. there was increase in the price
Of cotton, 20 that for the season Of 1859
90 the Average price had increased from
4. 20 pence TO 8. 81 pence, notwithstand-
ing the output had increased from 8,
G97 900 to q, 716 900. In other words,
with an abundant supply Of real money,
there had been an increase of fifty per
cent. in the price Of cotton in spite of an
increase Of eighty two per cent In the
amount Of cotton raised. In the face Of
these indisputable facts what becomes
Of the vaunted statement Of the goldbug
organ that free silver coinage has no.
thing to do with the matter, and that 1t
all depends upon the supply and de.
mandl In view Of these solid facts bow
Jasmine is the statement of the Gazette
that Legislation stopping the coinage Of
silver and depriving the Western mine
owners of bounties 70 which they arc

John Sherman GratineA.
From the Memphis Appeal


In recent interview the Hon. John
Sherman, discussing the part he played
in the demOnetixatiOn Of silver said
ut was quite an undertaking when l
agreed to shape legislation on this line
in 1878. l can forgive the Democrats
now for what they said about me and
what they were pleased to call my great
crime. have lived to see their leaders
swallow their words, and today there IL
not Q stronger and more outspoken de.
fender Of my course than You will find
In President Cleveland's State papers,
and the speeches Of his cabinet 0flcers.
It Is hardly necessary for me to say q
word. OF course It Is gratifying to
me.
We see no particular reason why
John Sherman should be proud Of hav.
ing become the idol Of the gold standard
Democracy, but he Is welcome to all the
laudations he can get from that source.
In the meanwhile let not Mr.. Mckinley
be discouraged. The same gentlemen
who have discovered that Jno. Sherman
IL the greatest statesman Of the age will
learn to appreciate the real worth Of
VIM. Mckinley bye and bye. They
have already reached the point Of de-
claring that the greatest prosperity this
country has ever enjoyed was under the
gold standard, the high tariff, and the
Republican party, and the rest Is easys
We do not doubt after they have 'in-
vestigated the subject they will readily
reach the conclusion that Mr.. Mckinley
has been q badly slandered statesman,
and that the robber tariff equally with
the crime of '7S are the fruits Of the
enlightened Judgment of mankind. I"
Then, with the spotheosis of Gar Reed
and the force bill, their trinity will be
complete. Having started out repent.
ing Of the harsh things they have said
against the Republican party they will
doubtless make their reformation

The 6asette's Had Break at Figures On
Cotton ard Silver.

SVtSVw ouO CsbvOHe
From the Little Rock Presa
In its editorial headed ..6ilver and
Cotton Prices the banker. ridden
Gazette illustrates the truth Of the old
saying: Though figures will not lie.
liars will figure. . It attempts to prove
that the demonstration Of silver has
had nothing to do with the fall In the
price Of cotton. For this purpose II
uses the same or similar table a. fixed
for the goldbug speech Of Tom Catch
ings, in August, 1893, and It draws
therefrom the conclusion: Q) That y
drop In the price Of cotton did not i'm.
mediately follow the demonetization act
Of 1873, and (2) that the decline in the
prices OF cotton went on notwithstand :
Ing the Bland Allison act In 1878. and
the Sherman bullion purchase act Of
1890. Now, no intelligent man has
ever claimed that there was any sudden
fall in the price Of cotton upon the pass
age Of the Sherman act. Neither was
there any sudden fall In the price Of
silver itself. Nor has any intelligent
man ever claimed that the limited bull.
lion purchase and character Of silver
coinage authorized under the act Of 1875
and the act Of 1880 was sufficient ia
counteract the downward tendency set
In operation by the demonetization act
itself. The grinding effect Of that act
has been constant, though the resistance
II might have to encounter In the natural
law Of supply and demand might be
greater or less some one year than
another, but the grind has been going
ON all the same, and the following table,
whose accuracy neither the Gazette OF
any other goldbug organ can overturn,
shows how the decline In cotton has fol-
lowed the decline in silver from year to
year:
