Mr.. Peabody has propounded to the
Denver Republican a question which
opens out in a practical light the en-
tire silver problem. To the average
mind the query is at one suggested:
If the government is going to give out
900 United States dollars for 1000
Mexican dollars worth but $3.50, who
loses the $40? Or, if III government
begins that practice. how long will it
be before all the Mexican coinage finds
its way to Uncle Sans minis? If we
are to have unlimited free coinage,
how long will a suffering nation be able
to stand such a strain upon its ex-
chequer.
Another strong point illustrated is
that the position Of Mr.. Peabody with
his 81 900 loan is precisely the position
of any nan in this country or in Eu-
rope who has money loaned out, on de-
post or invested. If he thinks unlim-
lied free coinage will degrade the value
of silver coin to bullion value, or ever
half way to bullion value, he will be in
rlined to get his money into the shape
Of gold and keep 1t hid away some
where till the storm blows over. Such
L course, generally pursued. would in
,rease the present financial tension.

Let Us Reason About It.

The following is taken from the Bull
letin of the North Carolina Agricul-
tural Experiment Station:
What are the farmers of North Car
DINA going TO do this year about plant
ing cotton and other crops?
Will they follow The plan of last
year, reducing the acreage in cotton to
the increase of corn and other crops.
or will they, misled by the present
prices aud under the vain delusion that
the size of the crop has nothing to do
in fixing the price of it, put all of their
eggs into the cotton basket and take
the risk of five cent market?
Both roads are open to the farmers
as a whole, and in measure. to each
on individually. Surely past expert
ence has taught US lesson not to be
forgotten soon.
Five cent cotton was bad medicine,
but had its effects. Let's look at the
pictures, before taking and after taking.
This was the way with many farmer
in the years gone by:
He started his crop by going in debt;
II he wanted a mule he bought him on
credit, and gave mortgage; if he
needed wagon or new tools, he bought
On a credit; he bought his corn and
flour and gave lien on the crop not
yet planted; he bought his fertilizers
and put them in the lien; he paid his
hands from the neighbOrhood store; he
lived hard and worked hard, and kept
hoping that prices would 60 high, his
debts be paid and he would save some
thing to start the new year Or.
But prices didn't 90 high, and he was
obliged to sell. If prices after awhile
got better somebody else made the
profit. He would have made it him
self if he had been able to hold.
The next year he travelled the same
hard road over again. He staked all
on cotton and grew poorer as the
years went by. There is no reason 10
suppose that the same policy will not
produce the same results. After ,l,i,
experience eliminating in five cent
dose, let's look at the other side of the
picture.
Well, we moved the corn crib and
smoke house and garden nearer home
and we found almost to our surprise
that old North Carolina dirt would
make corn, and North Carolina corn
would make hogs. We had nearly
enough corn and bacon for home use
last year and saved the profits of the
mlddlemen. Cotton acreage was re-
duced, and the crop was made cheap
Tor the farmers had prepared for it.
The price went up. Many old debts
have been wiped out, few new ones
made, and we begin this year in the
enjoyment gilmore substantial comforts
than ever before
Which road shall we take? One
leads back to the corn cribs of Kansas
and the pork houses of Chicago, to the
old days of middlemen and high prices
for supplies, to crop liens and mort
cages and debt slavery. The other
leads to home supplies, with comfort
and independence, to farm improvement,
to better houses and stock, and after
awhile, to savings sufficient to begin
new enterprises with, keeping our
money at home, adding to the wealth
of our own people and developing the
resources of our great State.

New York Fashion Letter.

A popular fur wraps for the mid-winter
season is the Tejane Cape, garment
pointed in the back short on the shout
ders and finished in the front by stole
ends that reach to the bottom of the
dress. The entire cape is bordered with
mink tails and is lined with fancy bro
cade. 4 favorite winter skirt is the Pa
quin nine gored model, with wide box
pleat in front and very fiaring at the
bottom. The rest of the skirt is in mar
row cores which are either pleated or
shirred according to the kind of fabric
employed. They are lined throughout
and interlined half their depth. For
evening gowns white satin is a favorte
fabric, especially in the use of skirts.
Waists OF every material from the dain
test tulle to sleeves. which always
droops, are ornamented with the same
tucks. Other fashionable tissues for eve
ming gowns are Brussels net, French
faille in large bouquet designs of chine
effect, and satin striped lowered MORE
French tOques are again in vogue. Ex-
quisite creations in jeweled embroidery,
lowered velvet, sable and lace, etc, are
seen at the late openings. Dainty adorn-
ments for the neck increase in variety as
the season advances. Historic collars.
yokes and ruches are gracefully initiated
in all the novelties of jewelled and SPAN
gled fabrfc>,-fancful ribbons, velvets
and laces. Green, gray, blue and brown
are the prevailing colors in cloth gowns;
though many new shades of plum, violet
and dahlia appear in French weaves. The
latter shades are much used in millinery
as many OF the recent importations of
hats appear in these combinations of vio-
let and pansy. One sees in the latest
numbers of the Fashion Magazine pub
lished by \. Mcdowell & Co, a great va
riety of new ideas. These periodicals are
very attractive and ever increasing in
popularity.
