TWO KINDS OF SILVER DOLLARS.

OF all the silly talk on the money ques.
tion now going on, the silliest is propo-
sition first uttered by Mr.. Carlisle, sec
ond by Major Mckinley, third by Sena-
tor Allison, and now repeated every day
by thousands of their school. tits, that
silver dollars made under the operation
of free coinage laws would be altogether
different from similar dollars made under
laws requiring that the bullion out of
which the dollars are made shall be first
purchased by the government. The
same weight and fineness, the same
shape, form and size, with the same
devices and imprint upon them-the
same in all respects, and without differ
ence in any respect, one Of these dollars
will be respected by the government as
lawful money, while the other will be
discarded as vagRbond. One is loyal
by birthright, The other is an outlaw by
common consent.
For eighty years we had free coinage
of both metals. There are now in circu-
lation millions of silver dollars coined
since 1850 and 1873, and they were all
made under free coinage laws. Will the
government refuse to receive these dol
lars in payment of taxes and other dues,
and will Congress repeal all the legal
tender laws so far as they relate to these
dollars?
This threatened discrimination on the
part of the government between its
children is one of the anomalies of
modern politics. Talk about "isms" and
"vagsries" Of Populism, this two dollar
business puts them all in eclipse.

HOW FAST PRICES WOULD RISE UNDER
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

The seeming dread Of rapid rise of
prices under free coinage of silver Is
purely imaginary.
In the first place, these frightened
people assert that the immediate effect
of free coinage would be to drive this
country to a silver basis. If that posi-.
tiOn be correct, prices would not rise.
Mexico Is on q silver basis; so are China
and Japan, and prices are not higher
there than they are here.
But let us look deeper than this into
the subject. The stock Of coined gold
in the world now Is estimated to be
about billion dollars, and the silver
coin Is put at about the same amount.
Free silver coinage In the United
States cannot be begun at once, for 1t
will be some time before the necessary
legislation could be enacted, and then
our mint facilities would have to be
enlarged, for their present limit is only
about 35 million dollars q year. It
would probably be three years before
we got fairly started. Our population
at that time will not be less than IS
million, and 1t would probably be many
years before our annual coinage would
amount to more than IS million dollars,
which would be but 81 year increase
per capita at the beginning, and 1t will
grow relatively less every year.
Our per capita circulation, as shown
on page 81 of the Statistical Abstract
Of the United States for 1895, grew
from 1852 In 1873 to $24.44 In 1892,
an annual average increase of go
cents to the head Of population. No
body complains on account of rising
prices during that period,
The truth is, the scarcity Of circulst-
ing money is so great that 1t will re-
quire a vast smounC Of new money to
stimulate prices beyond their present
low range. The rise cannot be sudden
nor fast if we have no new money ex-
cept what can be got out of silver.
The most that can be safely expected
at first Is the confidence which return
to q better system would give the peo-
pie that good times would come some
day, and they would take heart again
and work and wait.

About Campaign Meetings.

About campaign Meetings.
Reports from campaign speakers tend
to indicate that local committees might,
by little more systematic and energetic
effort, increase materially the splendid
crowds that this year greet Populist
speakers
II the safety Of the republic and the
interests Of all the people are not in
volved in this campaign, then public
meetings are Of little Importance. II
these interests are involved, and every
thinking Populist knows that they are,
then it behOoves everyone to exert bis
utmost energy in an effort to make every
meeting at which the truth is presented
q success.
Proper advertisement is one great es-
sential. Not only should liberal news
paper space be secured, but posters
should be printed and generously dis
tributed. They should be seen in store
windows, ON fences, at the crossroads
every place where they will be seen and
read. These should be up without fail
the Saturday prior to the meeting. Two
Saturdays are better. In the news
papers q few scattering notices among
the local matter will ordinarily be more
generally read and seen than large dis
play advertisement. A line in every
letter from country correspondents would
help wonderfully. Everyone who knows
Of a meeting should take special care to
impart all the information possessed to
his neighbors of every political belief.
A source Of annoyance to speakers is the
presence in close proximity Of merry-go-
rounds and that sort Of thing. These
things attract no one to the meeting and
occupy the attention Of the young and
thereby interfere with their guardians
giving the attention to the meeting that
they may desire.
The fight this year is Of such impor-
tance and may result in such great good
or equally great harm to the interests OF
the people that no individual effort
should be spared to get the truth before
just as many people as possible. Every
reader is earnestly requested to renew
his efforts to bring out every voter to
our meetings and make what are now
very successful meetings result in even
greater good for the cause in every
locality. The perpetuity of good gov
ernment is involved. Permit nothing to
interfere with our speakers having an
opportunity to reach all the people.

 The costumes this year were unusu- ally fine. The floor committee were dressed in a Spanish costume and made a fine appearance.
 One of the handsomest dresses at the ball was light blue creton, trimmed with lace.
 Two costumes in blue with lace over- dress were much admired. Among the odd characters was John Neff representing "Paderewski." | Several members of the SarSheld Guard gave a cordial welcome to visit ors to their parlor during the evening.
 The prize committee consisted of s. z, Poli, B. J. Dillon and ex-Captain Gutt.
 First prize best group of not less than six, was awarded to a group of Gladia- 1 tors from the New Haven Turner's.

TnE WooHsEY sTArUTE.

By Professor Weir of Yale-An Interesting Description-Will stand on the Campus
 The Congregationalist last week said:
 Prof J. F. Weir of the Yale art school
 has been known to the public hitherto
 chiefly as a painter but it is safe to say
 that after the public and the art critics see the statue of the late Dr. Woolsey
 they will unhesitatingly concede that
 Prof. Weir is a sculptor of unusual abil- ity. A number of years ago Prof. Weir
 prepared model for the statue. It cost him two years of work and study. and was modelled from President Woolsey when he was in his. prime The years that have intervened have been devoted to gathering the S12,000 or $15, ,000S neces-
 sary to defray the expense of casting and erecting bronze, statue to serve as a memorial to President Woolsey. A few weeks ago the completed plaster cast Of the statue was shipped from New Haven to New York to be cast,
 and it is expected that the statue will
 be placed on the Yale campus, in all
 probability in front of Durfee hall, be- fore commencement day.
 The bronze figure will be about ten feet high and rest on pedestal of pol ished red granite eleven or twelve feet high. Prof. Weir has represented Dr. Woolsey as seated in a Greek chair typ- ical of the place which the great man filled at Yale from 1881 to 1S46, being | professor of Greek prior to his election as president of the college Tho noae is natural, one hand lying loose on his l lap and the right hand holding a book partly open on his knee, the body lean. | ing a little forward, the figure being that of Woolsey the teacher listening keenly to 8 recitation. He is clad in the customary presidents robe, sug- gesting his service as president of Yale from 1S46 to 1871.
 | Prof Weir has endeavored to be real.
 istic and yet at the same time not triv. | ially so. The face is modelled in broad
 masses, the pose is natural, easy anG yet dignified. The many students ot
 Yale who studied under President Wool sey will rejoice that his memory is tc 1 be honored in such a permanent anC
 satisfactory way, and lovers of aesthet
 ics will rejoice that the task of execut l ing the work fell to one so competent
 as Prof. Weir. College campuses afford | fine sites for sculpture sthat can botf stimulate students to live lives of nobili | ty and at the same time create a satis | fy the love of the beautiful, and it i. we'll that Yale has taken such an i'm portant step forward in this respect.

Twenty-third street frequented mostly by
women, and it was crowded. Every chair
was occupied with either a person or a
bundle. Finally, after moving what had
been large part of the stock OF some dry

in clearing space enough at one Of the Ia
bles for me TO edge myself in.
There were two women already seated
at the table, and they looked daggers at
me for thus intruding myself upon their
privacy. Finally they were ready to go.
One paid the check with the exact money
and the waiter took IL TO the cashier. She
produced dime from her pocketbook and
laid it on the table, remarking at the same
time that il was for car fare. The two
then began TO gather up their bundles
The waiter returned, saw the dime, picked
it up and put 1t IN his pocket, evidently
thinking il was his tip.

Just in time to observe him slowing it
away in his vest pocket. She glanced over
the table. The money was gone. Then
