The committee representing the foreign
gold exporting houses IN New York has
adopted effective measures for stopping
the present depletion OF the treasury re-
serve. The fact shows that those foreign
bankers domicied IN New York can raid
or stop the raids as they see proper. 1t
shows that the United States treasury is
at the mercy of the foreign bankers. 1t
Is a huml ating disclosure and If demo-
cratic success accomplished nothing more
than to put the National treasury on AN
independent footing, 1t would be great

First-The complexity Of the home and
the fnterdependence of the various
members of the family all go to render
it impossible for woman to be set apart
from the whole and compelled to de-
fend" with sword and gun any right
which she enjoys In common with man.
During our civil war woman did her part
of the fighting" and, in her own way,
did 1t grandly and with no less effect
upon the enemy and credit to the sex
than man did his. And while she fought
bravely" in the hospital and even in
the field, as nurse and general saint and
comforter to all who needed her serv-
ices at home and abroad, she performed
r. part peculiar to her sex-a part which
men could not, if they would. have per-
formed themselves, and without which
the war could not have been carried on
successfully, if at all.
All this was in the natural order Of
things and incident to her inalienable
place as queen of the home. Is anyone
stupid enough to even fancy that this
order would or could have been reversed
or even deViated from in any material
sense, had she been in her rightful pos
session of the franchise, Or that her hav-
ing the franchise would have changed
the situation in the least degree? I'm
less men should have been sufficiently
idiotic, or fiendish to refuse to go into
the field until their mothers, wives, sis
ters and SweetheartS should enlist, don
the blue or the gray, leave the home to
be neglected and desolated and take the
field of carnage with the male citizens"
And does anyone imagine that the war
would have been longer and more fierce
if women had happened to have among
other duties" a ballot to "defend?"
To believe all of this absurd and i'm
possible stuff of the masculine half OF
humanity is to believe men unworthy
to be born into the world and women un-
wise, if not criminal, in helping to bring
them into existence. The fact is woman's
equal right with man to conceive and
form an opinion on any subject in the
realm Of the franchise logically and in
evitably carries with it the absolutely
inalienable right of expression by bal
lot, and for men, who have assumed the
ballot. to stand in the way Of such ex-
preston, and by laws Of their own crea-
tion, prohibit her from entering field
which Mr.. Kinney admits to be one OF
duty" is to not only act the part Of ty-
rant. but to prevent woman from per-
forming her duty as she, as RESPONSE
BILE, free moral agent. sees 1t.
Moral feeling, sentiment. and mental
action are common qualities and for that
reason demand impartial treatment and
for one sex to ignore and suppress that
demand, either through law or custom,
is cowardly, despotic and immoral. Ono
would naturally suppose from Mr.. KIM
neys object lessons and logic that every
little boy is born into this wicked world
with ballot in his right hand and In his

The matter should be carefully looked

The speaker then gave a detailed and
exhaustive history of the worlds pro-

last 104 years. showing conclusively
that silver has been Disseminated

In conclusion, Mr.. Gator said:
