Two Of the leading members of the
Webster popocratic silver lung syn
dictate are advancing arguments
which for general asiainity and ig-
norance certainly take the cake.
One is that silver bullion selling in
Asw York at about zoe. per ounce
|ls being carried to London and sold
Tor sl.25 per ounce. The other is
that there is only 30 cents worth of
gold in a gold dollar. 1t is hard to
tell whether these statements are
made through ignorance or with a
wew OF imposing on the credulity of
ttleir hearers, but they 20 to show to
what straits these G~nancicrs are re-
dnced foi argument when they utter
such ridiculous statements. Silver
bullion was quoted ia London, SAT-
urday,. Al 68sc. per ounce, and il a
gold dollar was melted down il
wouid still remain ii dollar in value.
But, in the face Of these facts.
these financial transformers keep on
their song Of misrrpreseuta-
tion, and expect people to believe it.

Edmunds and Sphinx counties were

Another Prediction Verified

The prediction OF The Times at the last
bond sale that within three months the
endless chain system would cost the gov
ernment $4,000 600, has Eeen practically
verified. Since April 10 the Cleveland sys-
TEN Of enriching gold gamblers at pubic
cXpense has cost the government S39,-
000, 200, and il is safe TO say this amount
Of gold Withdrawn for greenback redemp-
uou was used TO repay gold borrowed
abroad less than three months ago TO pur
chase the last issue of bonds. In about nine
months S125, 100000 in gold have been
taken from the Treasury 10 redeem green
backs aud ''maintain the credit of the
country" and when it is considered that
this amount represents SIS 5,0o0. .00a more
than was received for the last bond issue. it
is enough TO make cnes hair shake at the
roots with a fit Of financial ague.
In the face OF This stupendous financial
folly that has cost the country over $500,
900 during this administration, there
is serious talk of forcing our monetary
mad Presidential monarch on the Chica go
convention, as if the American people were
set of ignorumuses hardly fit to join
intellectual issues with the Hottentots.

have been made stronger. When the

and one that The Times will never coudone

not withstanding the report ofthe committee
and they are not only contracted foreign

interests but the money they earn will

In Defense of Her Vanities.

The people looked al the measure as a
comic opera joke, but they find it as
serious as an Ibsen proposition in ethics.
Strange to say, the managers share the
feminine resentment. They are obliged by
the law to rebuke and oust " omen who
decline 10 obey it. The manager is made
responsible 10 the victim who sits behind
the visual obstruction. The constitution
ality Of the act is to be tested before the
supreme court, and though Mr.. F osdick and
Dame Bushnell and the bald-headed man
behind are at present enjo wing their laugh
il may not be the last to ripple over this
question. An Ohio woman charged with
defending her millinery is an antagonist
TO be dreaded, and her plumes may yet
wave in triumph from the parquet chairs.
The morning times., 1896-04-22

The vanity of an Ohio woman won't
brook legislation that is to strip her of
her plumes. The Western commonwealth
is progressive and the women keep pace
with the procession. 1t is presumed they
are posted on millinery and possessed of
choice confections. In the mghtiness of
her wrath she stamps her boot tnumber not
givenl and flashes defiance at an obnoxious
law that says she shall shear herself of
her spring millinery, like wise her summer
'bonnet, and smuggle them into her lap
or under the chair while In the tEeater.
