Take Top Coats-we say
$3.50 to S35. Others say the
same. But it doesn't mean the

Our $3.50 Coats are their $40.
Our $50 ones are finer than

The Advantage of Free Silver.

The great advantage Of free silver
lies In the fact that it will introduce an
era Of expanding currency and rising
prices in place of the falling market
that has so long depressed US. AL.
though the immediate effect Of free
silver may be to lessen the volume Of
currency by driving our gold away,
yet very soon the influx Of silver will
more than make good the loss Of the
gold and the volume will rapidly OK.
psnd. The consequence will be that
prices will rise, commerce and manu-.
features will be encouraged, labor will
be In demand, many who are unem.
ployed will get work, competition for
employment will become less severe,
wages will rise, and, In the end, work.
ingmen will be benefited as we'll as
merchants and manufacturers.
Debtors who have been Wronged by
a sh'inksRe of prices will secure at
least a partial justice and be able to
pay of their notes and mortgages with
something like a fair equivalent for

The demand for skilled labor has

not impaired the value of our dollar as
applied to the purchase of articles of

mum fixed price for silver. When the
mints were closed to silver 1t reduced
the vs'uA of hOneet investments in
silver mines, and the same legislation
increased the value Of investments In
gold and gold mines. Now legislation
repeating the act that injured silver In.
vestments while increasing gold In
vestmentS would only restore the
conditions existing when those invest
ments were made.
India does not produce silver. She
has TO buy it. The bulk Of her 800
milllon dollars cost her from 8l.29 to
$l.S7 an ounce. Anti.silver legislation
has reduced the bullion value of her
silver almost half. Now, legislation
that rest ores the value is more in the
nature of returning stolen goods than
In comforting special favor. Creditor
nations would not be treated unjustly.
They would be paid In full, but would
be simply prevented from collecting
double what they loaned.
We may illustrate the effect of
money-metsl legislation on mine own
ers as follows: Suppose the United
States, England, Germany and France
should close their mints to gold. The
gold in circulation being full legal
tender money, would still be worth 100
cents on the dollar; but the chief de.
npaDd for gold being taken away, gold
bullion would dtpreciste, and the
heavy investments in gold mines and
plants would be seriously affected. If
after few years the United States
should conclude to open its mints to
the unlimited coinage of gold, the
value Of gold bullion would rise to par,
and what the gold mine owners lost by
closing the mints would merely be re-
stored by reopenlng them.-St. LoWts

DOster Replies to Attacks.

In recent speech, replying to the
charge of extreme radicsllsm, Judge
DOster said: 1.-THE expression made In
q former address that 'the rights OF
the user are paramount to those OF the
owner, is uarbled quotation, wrested
from all connection with its context,
diverted from the application made Of
1t, ami deprived Of the benefit of the
instances and illustrations used" To
explain its meaning he read from the
published report of the address, show.
log that he had divided property into
two kinds, one In the nature of per.
sonsl belongings, like the tools of
mans trade, his homestead, etc.,
which he not only owned but used as
well. To these his right was as sbso.
lutte as the limbs Of his body. The
other class of property was Qussi-publIC
In character. 1t was owned not for
the purpose of the owners use, but for
other men'b use. OF such were the
rsilrosds, and the rights of the user
were paramount to those of the owner,
because the owner dedicated such
property to tie use of other men. De.

What England Thinks About 1t,

The Pop. papers which printed the forgery
from the Financial NelOs, London, England,
will, of course, publish an apology.-LyOns Re.
publican.
The above refers to an article from
the London Financial NeaOS, headed
"What England Thinks About 1t, I"
printed In these columns September 2.
A paragraph Pimilsr to the above is
going the rounds of the Republican
press of the West. No POpulist paper
need mCke any apology for printing
the article or continuing to print It,
for the good and sufficient reason that
the London Financial NeI0S Is the
father Of the article in question. It
was printed on the date named, and is
taken verbatim from clippings
from that paper furnished by
one Of the most reputable press
clipping concerns In Europe. AS
a matter of fact, the article hurt the
gold crowd. 1t stated the facts plainly,
concisely and truthfully, and came
from a reputable standard source. The
Republican, like a lot Of other similar
sheets, has been taken In by an
alleged fac Simile autograph letter Of
denial from the Ne,oS sent out to the
press. In the light of the fact that the
ADVOCATE knew that the clipping was
all right the denial appeared suspicious.
The fact that the fIc Simile denial con-
tanned not one word or figure other
than the postmsrk on the envelope to
indicate from whence or whom 1t
came added to these suspicious. Tue

he investigated the matter, he has no
fears that his life policy or his deposits
In banks will be paid In so cent dollars
In case the mints should be opened to
the unlimited coinage Of silver. He
says: "Lt occurred to me this way;
any dollar that Is a full legal tender
for all debts, puOlic and private, is as
valuable for all practical purposes as a
gold dollar; and again, l asked myself
the question. If the rich insurance
companies and the bankers belie0e that
they could pay off their policies and
deposltOFs In so cent dollars, why do
they oppose free siVerP for they have
heretofore shown that they do not hes.

ever, to ask for information, what
effect the unlimited coinage of silver
by the United States at the present
ratio would have on the silver mine
owners, and such nations as India.
Would 1t give them unjust profits at
the expense Of the creditor classes of
the nationP"
The United States Is the weslthlest
and the greatest commercial nation on
earth, and It Is believed that If she
should open her mints to the unllm.
tied coinage Of silver the parity would
DO restored, and that the price of silver
the world over would be regulated by
the United States mint rate. There
fore the price of silver in this and all
other nations would be close to 81. 80
an ounce. Silver mined after the pas.
sage Of such law would therefore be
almost doubled In value, and the bul.
lion value Of our 600 million dollars of
silver now In circulation would be cor.
reepondingly increased. The present
bullion value of Indis's 900 million Of
silver would be almost doubled.
As to whether this would be legislst-
ing prosperity into the pockets of silver
owners, at the expense of the creditor
classes Of the nations, 1t may be stated
in general terms that it would be more
IN the nature Of restoring lost rights
than of comforting special fsvors to
silver mine owners. All agree that it
was the demand for gold and silver as
money metals that developed the gold

GROWTH OF MExIco's COMMERCIAL
INTERESTS.
While our material interests have
increased steadily aud heslthfully for
the last twenty years, since the close
Of the Indian mints and the
repeal of the Sherman law, so called,
In the United States, the growth of
MexlcO's commercial and industrial
interests has been particularly marked.
The consequent appreciation In tina
price Of gold and the increase In ex.
change between Mexico and the gold
standard countries at once operated to
reduce lmportstlons and stimulate
home manufactures.
The added price of exchange was In
effect an addition to the tariff. The
importer added to the original cost the
duty and cost Of exchange. Our cotton
and wooden mills already In operation
were obliged to enlarge their capacity
and new ones were established. The
number Of operatives necessarily had
to be greatly increased.
To show the falling off In the con-
sumption Of foreign merchandise, It
may be said that the year prior to the
increase Of foreign exchange on silver
our customs collections at the ports Of
entry amounted to % million dollars.
The next year they were IA million.
In the iscsl year ending In 1890 our
lmporIstions exceeded 50 million dol
lars. In the fiscal year ending In 1895
they we're slightly In excess of "a mil
