A lady asks MS whether etiquette
requires one to knock at the door
of an EDITORS sanctum before en-
tering. We hasten to reply. If
you are coming to pay your sub
scrlptlon or bring in nice, juicy
item of news, don't stop to knock,
but just walk right in as if you
owned the place. If, on the other
hand, you are out on q collecting
tour, you should make the fact
known through the window and
then knock at the door until the
editor opens 1t. You may sink
down with exhaustion before he
does so, but You will be adhering to
the printing Office etiquette that is
bound to please the average editor.

Here is a plain statement from
the New York Financial Record
that is good to read these times,
when the goldbugs are trying to
corral every State Convention in
the Union "The nominal
amount Of money in circulation in
the United States is reported to be
about s21 per person the amount
in actual circulation is less than
sl2. IL will likely surprise and
may assist in getting some Of the dust
out OF the eyes of those people who
have been deceived by the talk Of
sound money ETC., to learn that
France has in circulation, more
silver alone per person than the
people of the United States have all
kinds Of money, of gold, silver, le-
gal tender notes and national bank
notes. France is prosperous. II
the United States had a proportion
ate circulation we would likewise
flourish. Bimetallism means more
money and better times.'
