TOO YOUNG 10 SAY YES

Last year the Colorado Populists
elected several women TO the state
legislature. The first measure they
brought forward was a bill raising tue
age Of consent TO 81 years. The women
rallied TO the support OF this pioposi-
tion, and it became law, the first
ever placed on the statute books boy a
woman legislator.
Now, after the legislature has al
journed, the author of the law has dis
covered that makes illegal every mar
riage Of a woman under 2l years of age
with or without the consent Of her par
ents or guardian Under the Col
orado law any woman under twenty
one is incapable OF saying yes to a
proposition OF marriage, and any man
who marries a girl of twenty is liable
to a tiye-year sentence in the peniten-
tiary.
The Colorado women legislators are
now on their knees before the supreme
court asking that their first law shall
be declared unconstitutional That
loudly heralded legislative triumph of
the Colorado new women seems TO
have oeen constructed ON the boomer
ang pattern.

Much speculation is briug heard
relative TO the announced addrc>. of
Secretary Carlisle before the Memphis
convention. Tho speech will, no
doubt be q mastery y03rt Ina lucid
and logical arraugcmeu. of facts The
secretary of thc treasury IS at che head
Of American speakers. We have heard
him. and know whereof we speak.
Call him the most accomplished reas-
uucr among American statesmen and
pronounce the Memphis speech the
effort of his life, aud yet hc will tum
bile down violently 600 his effort TO stem
the tide of silver mono metallism If ne
attempts To- do it with goli mono
metalIism In the west and south
there may bc variations of opinion
upon the mode by which the free coin
age of silver should be reached, but
there is something very much like
unanimity i'm demanding that gold
and silver shall be coined on equal
scrms. In fact, since all the political
/ parties have nationally conceded the
principle OF bimetallism, it may be
said that all the people contend for the
money use of both metals
In the west and south certainly the
belief is settled that the gold standard
is not sound money. Nothing is sound
money which is not fair and equitable
money; aud the west and south have
learned from the most eminent ccono-
mists of the world that the gold stand
ard has dislocated exchanges and in
tcnsided il it has not produced trade
depressions. The west and south see
a serious international trouble in
progress on the Nicaraguan coast as
a result Of debtor who uses silver
being compelled to pay obligations in
gold.
Sound money is not gold monomet
lallism nor silver monometallism, but
both metals coined on equal terms anC
with relation to values. The greater
part of the world has been accustomed
To the use OF such money and regards
such money as the sound measure o
prices and standard of payments.
At New York banquet nearly TIVE
years ago Secretary Carlisle intimater
preference for the gold standard
We hope that what he then seemc
80 say was transient fancy and tha
when.hc speaks for sound money a

pose plan for the restoration of Dem
