The Mail prints a column editorial
concerning the "curious coincidence, F"
as it views it, Of the low price of corn
notwithstanding the scarcity. 1t
concludes as follows:
The price now, after three crops
that averaged less than 1000 million
bushels, is five cents cheaper than
four years ago, after three successive
crops averaging over l,SO0 million
bushels, and the number of animals
to be fed now is as great as then. Nc
trade authority nor any economist has
been able to account for this curious
trade anomaly.
We suggest that Andy make the
same study Of wheat, then of cotton,
then Of beef, pork, and all other
staples, and he will find some more
trade anomalies" Any of these
staples are liable to shoot upward
temporarily though inordinate supply
or demand but they soon seek the in
evitable level again, and join the
grand march of decline. 1t is not
true that mo economist has been able
to account for this curious trade
anomaly" 1t has been accounted for
time out of number-in the adoption OF
the single gold standard. You fellows
look upon that as false economy" but
you will learn better after while.

matum, dictum and all, world with

philosOphize, as Banker st. John does,
about whether the success Of the issue
will lead the people to extravagant
issues and collapse in the future. We
believe the people can be trusted on
this score. A constitutional safe

fundamental law if necessary. Give
us money. That is what the people
Of the Uuited States need tirst-then

machinery questions next.
But we should not bubble about
having silver money if we could get
it. Since the Registers party is re-
SpOnSible for the decentralization Of
silver, and about 80 per cent of the
Republican representatives in the
present congress voted to sustain a
Democratic executive in driving the

AS to the second question they were
undoubtedly dependent upon the
credit of the government for their cir.
culatiOn at par" but they needed no
"hnal redemption" in dollars from the
government. All the redemption they
needed was in sugar and coffee and
wheat and flour and pork and beefand
silver and gold at market value and
in taxes and government dues. This
was all sufficient. Why is it rot bet.
ter to have them redeemable in all
these things than in only one or two
of them? What matter it whether
our dollars are stamped on paper or
on some shining substance as gold or
silver? 1t is the number of them in
circulation that determines their
relative value to the real values of
earth, not the substance on which
they are printed.
William P. St. John, president of
the Mercantile National BankOf New
York, said before the committee on
banking and currency the other day
that if he were called upon to define
perfect money he would say;

Grsenhaek, Redeemahle in Dollars.

The Oxford Register says it wants
greenbacks, but uwants them prom
ises to pay in gOld-not fat green
backs.-VOice.
Was the original greenback issue
redeemaGle in gold, and gold only,
Brother Naugle? Were they not de-
pendent upon the credit of the gov
eminent for their circulation at par,
and for fl1al redemption do they not
depend solely upon the "prOmise to
pay" Of the government, redeemable
in dollars? Such is the money we are
shouting fOr-the greenback, redeem
able in dollars, or in dollars value. 10
fact, we believe the greenbacks pro-
vided the most popular circulating
medium ever issued to the people, and
that now, with bimetalism placing
gold and silver on an equal footing as
standards of value" and in mint
privileges that sufficient variety
would be provided to suit all tastes
aud put an end to the excuse for mon
keying with the nations currency
system. The Republican party was
the parent of the greenback, and we
do not believe can now afford to dis
own its offspring.-Oxford Register.
The VOICE slipped a cog" last
week, by season of its editor being
! absent from home, and failed to notice
this latter rejOinder Of the Register.
But since it is quoted afresh in the
South Haven New Era and we have
some points along that line to offer
We shall again take up the subject.
In answer to the first question pro-
pounded we would say that the ''orig-
inal" greenbacks were redeemable in
'dollars" as you suggest. They were
payable upon demand" by the
United States, aud although not made
legal tender at the start, they were
soon after, for all debts public anc
I private; and throughout all those
trOublOus times and down to the pres
ent day they have never been ct a
discount. The issues later on were
made payable in coin and were legal
tender for debts except interest on
public debt and duties on imports. "
They went away below par while the
demand notes fOated at par always,
and were so popular with the people
that, although an early effort was
made to retire them they were held
by the people and some of them are
still out to this day.

The Voices New Home,

The VOICE is now comfortably
established in its new home. We
have the best newspaper plant in
Sumner county. Our Office is the
most conveniently arranged, and the
best supplied with equipment. Our
presses are driven by a BackuS Water
motor, the CleaneSt and most convent
ent power eXtant-water and pressure
supplied from the city water works.
, Our job department has been supplied
with large line of new type of the
latest faces, we carry a splendid line
of printers stationery and are turn
ing out a large amount of handsome
job printing. We print everything
from wedding invitation to a horse
poster or 100 page pamphlet, and by
the aid of our new facilities we are
enabled to make very close prices.
And as for quality of work we now
acknowledge no superior in Sumner
county. Please let every body bear
this in mind. and when they have a
job for the printer always come and
see us and our samples first. Orders
by mail, Tor quotations. will receive
prompt and careful attention.
We want all If our friends to call
on US when in Wellington. You will
hardly know us in our new clothes,
but you will find us just the same old
crowd within.
We also do large amount
Of extra press work on our press. The
Daily Mail forms come down from
upstairs by elevator every afternoon
and are run through upon double
quick time. The VOICE goes to press
regularly every Thursday morning,
and owing to our large edition 1885
more than any other newspaper in
Sumner county, it takes the greater
part of the day to get it out of the
way.
We are handy-next door to the
pOstof1ice, first floor. Be sure to drop
in and see US next time you come to
town.

The South Haven New Era takes
more than two columns of its valu-
able space to call down the commits
siOners for their deal on county print
ing. Bro. BranScOmbe cites how the
board went methOdically to work to
get the best bids possible for doing
the work, how when the bids were in
they took day to consider them, and
then proved their conduct all hypo-
critical by letting tie work to the
highest bidder. Says the New Era:
That a Republican paper was to be
given the printing was as fixed as the
fate of professionalism, and no other
kind of paper stood the ghost of a
show, no matter what its bid; and the
fate of the MOnitOf-PreSs with the
combination of ci cumstatces con-
fronting it that did, was as fixed as
was that of the fellow who was "off
color" politically. Then why this dis
sembling on the part of the commits
SiOners? Why this indulgence in hyp-
OCritical can't about civil service
reform, and the subordination of all
other interests to those of the tax
payer, when the very decision that
they were to make would clearly dis
close to the public that the accepting
of bids was sham, a hollow mockery,
without even the thin veneering of
honesty of purpose or reasonable
excuse, and that the interests of tax
payers did not enter into the deal,
with at least two of them.
We refer our neighbor to the files Of
the VOICE previous to the election.
The horses eyes we're "sot" then and

to give a semblance of virtue to the
deal. They were not afraid to repeat
something that the people had
endorsed so recently at election.

SOME GORGEOUS EGG SHELLS

Ordinary egg shells are commonplace
everyday frail objects enough, but
ostrich egg shells can be made into
really splendid and decorative objects.
The material is hard and strong. The
natural color is a delicious deep
creamy white, and SO we have the best
of foundations with which 20 start.
Treated with even simple gold orna-
ment they are charming, and fitted
with silken bags they make most fas-
chatting bonbonnieres.
But it is when PARTED after Persian
models that the shells become really
gorgeous. Then they are pierced at
both ends. They are treated in the
truest oriental style with stripes Of
deep, warm red. rich blue and old, and
are suspended by chains Of brass run
through the hollow shell. Some seen
recently add a final ard most sue
cessfui touch to a Persian corner ar
ranged in a clever Woman's home.
The corner itself is curtafned off with
hangiEyS Of real Persian make and
there is divan covered and cushioned
with rug and st!Iffs all of the same
sort. But the egg shells which hang
here and there excite more comment
than all else They seem like oval
balls of splendor, if balls can be oval,
and their deep rich tones decorate the
corner even more successfully than
would more costly things. They are
peculiar. too. and out-of-the-common
things always appeal to true Woman's
heart, so that for every reason their
owner is to be congratulated upon
having egg shells to so unique and so
telling use.
