and supplies are costly, seasons
are short and fortunes tickle.
E. G. Pipp, is editor of the
Chronicle, published at Burlin-
game, Kansas, and he is Repu-
blican silver advocate, that is, to
a certain extent. But he is going
to knock out our constitutional
ratio and the ratio advocated by
the best financiers of the world,
and establish silver at ratio OF
10 to l. This is new one on
us. He beats John Sherman 6
trifie, for sound money John
wants it at "a to /. The above
named editor will undoubtedly
revolutonize the world athis new
ratio. The facts in the case are
he is not a believer in silver.
His only argument against the
, old ratio of 16 to / is that the
silver mine owners are making
,, too much money, and that the
miners get larger wages thar
/, the farm laborers of Kansas do
Now, isn't this a brilliant argu
ment 1t so foolish on the fac'
{ of it that is not worthy of a re
ply. We would advise our olt
!. friend in Kansas-our old play
: mate, schoolmate and classmat
: Ito study the silver question
;. and not produce such silly idea
: to an intelligent public, for the.
: only laugh at your Ignorance
e We would ask Mr.. Pipp to pre-
cure copy of the book entitle
. "Coin's Financial School," an
2 study it for his own information
!, for we imagine this book Wi
throw some light on his mind.
