Editor of The Times:
Shallow me most heartily TO thank
you for your editorial of this morning
on the currency question You are per-
fecty right. &c is bank facilities
and bank-notes that we want; well-based.
and OF ready issue.
Free silver would in no way help our
case. Free banking Well guarded, will
satisfy everybody. no man Will carry
silver dollar If Die can get clean bank
note in place OF it.
The people want well-secGred bank
notos-uot free silver, and the Govern
ment can allow them.
Well-based bank-notes viii float values:
encourage business. and establish char
acter and credit. free silver Will choke
business and destroy character.
Fight it out Mr.. Editor, on free bank
ing and help our people TO undeceive
themselves and know what they are
talking about. Truly yours.

Their nation. which has marvellous

twenty-five millions to about four
millions all told today, and it is likely
TO be exterminated by the present

the Armenian nation accepted OF
Christianity as the national religion
and ever since it has stood on guard
between the new civilization Of the
west and eastern heathenism.
Like rock, IL has remained firm,
amid the shock OF ages, and still

An Armenian family Of wealth and
refinement, residing In Khort, had
been robbed Of all and their home de-
stroyed. The father was working In
the fields 10 keep his family from
famishlng. One day the mother was
taking bread 20 him at midday. with
the child. The Kurds caught her aud
outraged her before her boy. When
she complained 10 the officials, she
was brutally beaten, knocked down
and kicked out. Then her husband
was killed, and the mother was u
homeless, frlendless wanderer with
her sick and dying child cllngIng to

straight from armhOle to wrist, and

forty inches long. but are so full that
they do not crush the most delicate
