would have realized only a small
fraction over forty-fve cents on
the dollar. At a pinch, in fact.
the gold mah's paper would not
have made as good a showing as
the much despised and greatly
disparaged silver dollar under

OF course we understand that
no such emergency could possibly
arise. We are simply using an
argument that the silver men

any time in this discussion of the
question of sound money" and
we have done this for the pnr-

sound money is nothing more
or less than the money which the

there is not gold enough in The
world to redeem a fraction of the
paper now in circulation. Every
body knows that if it were all
called in at once there is not a
paper dollar that would yield a
a gold coin much more than 10
cents. Viewed in that way the
silver dollar is worth three times
as much as any paper dollar in
existence. But the question is
not to be viewed in thatway, and
the silver men might as well
make up their minds to it. I'm

up on this continent, to import
nothing, to cut off trade with
Europe, never to travel abroad

Two tourists, a lady and a gen

between trains. A hackman en-
gagged them for a brief tour of
sightseeing. The time actually
consumed was tifty.tive minutes.
The hackman said he must have
$40. The gentleman remarked
that it was an outrage. The
driver explained that he had been
of great assistance in pointing
out the places of interest and
stood firm. The gentleman pre-
pared to pay under protest.
Unfortunately for himself, he
handed the man a $40 bill.
DO you pay for the lady
also ?" asked the hackman,
promptly.
DO 1 pay for the lady ?" re-
peated the man, in establishment.
"Of course / do. What do you
