DONG JUsTICE.-In his class at
Yale, says DR.. Snipe in the Bath (Me.)
Independent, was a student who
climbed street lampposts and removed
street signs for his room ornaments
ton. The chief of police at New
Haven happened by accident one day
to see the signs in his room and, after
informing him that the fine for thus
removing such articles was s5 per sign,
inquired how many he had. The
youth replied, "Forty." The chief
said if he would return them the mis-
chief would be overlooked. On hunt
ing up the signs the student discovered
that he had but 80, and that night he
stole eight more in order to return, as
he did next day, precisely 40 signs.

Sixteen to One Explained.

The following explanation Cf 16 to
1 by Sailer & Stevenson, of Philadel-
phia, is right: ut means that sixteen
ounces of silver should be worth as
much as one ounce - gold. One
ounce OF standard gold will coin in
gold dollars $3.50. Sixteen ounces
of standard silver will coin $1S.60 in
silver dollars. These sixteen ounces
of silver can be bought in the mar
kets of the world today for 1924. There
would therefore, be profit of $S.66
on an investment of 1924, being about
81 per cot, il holder of silver
could take it to the mint and coin it
without charge into silver dollars. The
advocates Of free coinage favor a law
that will allow any holder of silver
bullion-or, in fact, silver Of any kind
Gas the latter can readily be melted
into bars)-the right to take the same
to any mint of the United States and
convert it into silver coin free of
charge, and force SO cents worth of it

Silver Still Going Down.

Baltimore American: One of the
most significant and most hopeful signs
of the decadence of the silver craze
came yesterday. Silver went down to
66 cents an ounce, the lowest price for
more than year. The decline has
been over three cents an ounce since
Bryan's nomination and the great part
of this decrease has taken place since
Bryan's speech in Madison Square
garden. What does this mean? Sim
ply that the holders of silver are get
ting rid of it and are willing to take
the low price. They have very ac-
curately measured the force of public
sentiment; they see the rising tide Of
Sound money" and the ebb of repudi-
alton. They are not for free silver
from motives of patriotism, but for
the profit that will come to them If
they could take their silver to the
minis and have it coined into dollars.
From the present indications they will
not be able to take it there, and hence
they are getting rid of IL.

THE COLONEL'S WIFE.

The rupture was about a two-acre

fill out dent in his ring fence, and Sir
George Warburton stepped in and
bought 1t over his head.

dear old things so WELL"
But before the month was out Col
onel Fairholme was on his way to Aus
tralia. During the first few weeks after
his arrival in Melbourne he communi-
Gated regularly either with Dick or his
maiden sister. Then there was gap
for a couple of mails, and Dick was get
ting uneasy and meditating cable Of
inquiry when the expected letter ar
rived.

for you which dare say will surprise
you. After being a confirmed bachelor

quaintance at the table d'hote out here,
and we were married last Monday.
The lady is a great deal younger than
myself, and may say without boasting,
as charming in disposition as she is in
person. You cannot fail to like her,
and am sure you will both be the very
best of friends. We shall leave in a
fortnight by the Ormuz, so you will
know when to expect us. Please break
the news as gently as you can to your
aunt. HORACE FAIRHOLME."
A few days after the letter came a
brief note for Dick.
Gust a few lines to catch the mail.
There is tiresome delay in the final ar
rangements, and I find that I cannot
leave as soon as hoped, as the berths
are already booked for the Ormuz.
Adele will go on alone with her maid.

Dick wondered at the arrangement,
but did not fail to meet his uncle's wife
when the time arrived. She was tall
woman Of twenty-eight or thirty, un-
deniably handsome and desirious of
winning the good graces of her hus-
bands nephew. Nevertheless, Dick
did not take fancy to her. In fact,
she rather repealed him. However, she
quite won Miss Fairholme's simple soul
by complimenting her upon her house.

But one day Dick saw something

low, but await until the policy of the
government is changed.
The men who are managing the in
dustries of this country are afraid of
the men who are managing the poll
tics and the government. The result
OF this fear is to narrow every indus
try to Its smallest possible capacity,
and that means millions of unem-
ployed laborers and an under-con-
sumption of farm products.
The Democratic orators first talked
this country into fear by threatening
to inaugurate free trade and to de-
stroy reciprocity If they got into pow
er. When they got into power, the
business man, fearing they would ex-
ecute their threats, trimmed his bus
mess down to the narrowest possible
limit and then said to these Demo-
cratic politicians, Nov do your worst,
and do 1t quick, SO we can see the re-
suit" Now what did these Democrat
ic politicians do? After soaring the
country with the threats of what they
would do, they held it in suspense for
two and a quarter years while they
Quarreled with the stubborn president
over the distribution of the spells and
talked the industries of the nation into
panic before they passed the tariff
law.
When the business man saw this
Democratic tariff law he said: "Well
we've got it at last; now let us make
the best of it." He Immediately be-
gan to adjust his enterprises to suit
the changed conditions and hoped ul-
timately to enlarge his industries and
employ all the labor. But no
sooner had the work of recon-
structing the industries began than q
new set Of Democratic orators opened
up on the country with new scheme
which they had not thought of be-
fore, and now they threaten to read
just the money system of the country.
Under this new threat business today
stands and waits and wonders what
will happen next. The mind of the en-
tire nation is dazed with uncertainty.
The suspense in the minds of the peo-
pie Is appalling in its damaging eff
fects. When will this cloud of doubt
and uncertainty dispense and pass
away? Will the election of Bryan and
his congress remove it? No. The sus-
pense now is on the question of wheth-
er Bryan will be elected or not. When
he is elected the suspense will turn
upon the question, Twill these Bryan
ties do just what they have promised?
When will they do it, and what other
new "isms" will they invent to sand
witch in with free coinage, free trade,
and free riot?" And when they have
finally inaugurated this free coinage
scheme, which will be in two or three
years from now, the business mind Of
the country will then still wait in
suspense to see what will be the effect
of changing the country from basis
of practical bimetallism, as it is now,
to basis of silver recommendation.
Bryan's election means four more
years of suspense and four more years
of idle labor and low prices for farm
produce.

Which To Choose.

Which would the wage Garner rather
have for days work-a dollar in
silver or dollar in gold?
Which would the pensioner rather
have?
Which the man who withdraws his
deposit from savings bank?
Which would he prefer to be paid to
his family by the insurance company
after his death?
Which would the farmer rather get
for his wheat, his cotton, or his corn?
Or the manufacturer for his plows.
his boots and shoes, or his clothing?
Which would all the world rather
have?
There is only one answer to all these
questions. Gold. The world would
rather have it than silver thirty-two
