A correspondent of the Chicago ma

paper to explain one thing, viz: 1.-THE
gold standard cranks say they are biz
metallists and want to use all the sill
yer they can &c keep it on a parity
with gold. Now, 1 want to know who
will have the say how much we shall

tell when we have just as much as we
can keep on parity with gold. am
afraid that Wall street will have all
the say. don't suppose the common
people would have any say in the mat
ter. This is one thing, it seems to me,
we ought to know something about"
The Bimetallist replies: "Our corre-
spondent is right Wall street means
to have all the say and give the peo-
pie no say at all. From the time the
coinage of silver was resumed in 1878
the gold men have always insisted
that we had too much silver and that
we could not safely coin any more.
When we had coined $50, 900, 900 in sill

400, DOC, 900 silver dollars, with the gold

was just ahead-thatt they would surely

have come pretty near getting us
there. The bottom has literally
dropped out of business, thanks to the
gold standard, but the silver dollar is
still at par. There is no way of de.
termining how many silver dollars we
can coin and maintain at a parity, ex.
cept by throwing open the minis and
coming all that comes. When it falls
below the gold level, if it appears that
the business of the country is suffer

actually begins to depreciate no man
has any warrant to say that there will
ever be any depreciation compared
with gold"

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

It Gould Not Possibly Result In q Further
Fall In the Price of Exported Articles
with Which We Pay Our Debts.
The gold monometallists tell us that
the free coinage of silver would con-
tract our currency by one-third through
forcing gold and all credits based on
gold out of circulation, and thus cause
prices to fall proportionately. If so,
then the fall in prices would result in
iucre asing the actual income of the
foreign holders of American securities,
who would receive three bushels of
wheat and three pounds of cotton
where they now receive but two. If
such was the result of free coinage,
our foreign creditors would receive,
rot a dollar worth so cents of the pres
ent dollar, but a dollar worth $50
cents. Yet, we are told that the pros
pect of this would cause foreign in
vestors to unload their securities on
our markets in a panic!
But the free coinage of silver could
not possibly result in further fall in
the price of the articles that we ex-
port in the payment of our debts.
Grant for the moment that foreigners
would unload their securities on our

markets in the financial centers would
tighter importers would be unable to
secure customary bank accommoda-
ton, prices of imported articles would
fall and importers would be obliged to
restrict their purchases abroad and i'm
ports would fall off.
But how would the price of the prod
ucts we export in payment of our debts
be affected? In the first place, just as
gold was exported from America, lead
ing to contraction of our currency, it
would lead to a proportionate increase
in the volume of money in Europe, and
consequently prices in Europe would
tend to rise. In the second place, as
gold was exported and went to swell
the currencies of European gold stand
ard countries, gold would fall, while
silver, in response to the pros
pective demand from America
on the reopening of our minis

election of a president and congress
pledged to free coinage, and before our
minis were opened to silver, for specu-

to result from the opening of our minis,
and they would buy up and hold silver
in anticipation of the rise. As silver
rose relatively to gold, the cost to

creased; for while silver-using peoples

ncts, it would take more gold to get
the same quantity of silver. Conse-
quently, the competition between our
producers and the producers of silver
countries for the European markets
would be relieved, and the demand for
our wheat and cotton and other pro-
duce would be thereby increased.
Thus the balance of trade would

CURIOUS ABOUT THE BABY.

TT Was a Nice Child, But Mysterious,
Until the Old Lady Explained
She was one of the curious women
who are always to be found every
where, and when the young couple, ac-
companied by the baby and the old lady,
entered the car, she turned her atten-
ton to them at once. Presently the
baby began to cry, and she saw her
opportunity. She waited, however, I'M
til the poor young woman had tried
vainly to quiet the baby, and then, when
she yielded the battle and delivered
it over to the older lady, the curious
woman opened fire.
She began the campaign by offering
the child a flower, and when the young
woman, thankful of the cessation OF
the cries which had attracted the at
$ention of all the passengers, thanked
her gratefully, she commenced to ask
questions at once:
"How old is your baby?" she asked
first, and the young woman bluShed
and looked desperately at her compaE-
ions.
II don't know" she answered, at last
"Do you, Edward?"
NO" was the brief response of the
man, as he glared at the curious woman
man-fashion, Il don't"
The young woman looked as If she
considered the matter settled, and
sighed comfortably as she leaned back
and began playing with the baby. but
the inquirer was not yet satisfied, and
she returned to the charge.
HAS your baby any teeth?" she
asked, smiling cordially, and again tho
young woman blushed.
"EI-really don't know" was the
answer again, and the young man rose
hastily and went out upon the plat.
form.
"You don't know, either of you?

constituent How funny"
But no explanation was offered her
and she tried another tack.

The PRICE OF GOLD.
&c L. Fixed by Lava Bit OF Gold History
Revived.


Revived.
In reply to questions by many CORE
spondents, the National Bimetallist
will state that the money value or
price of gold is absolutely fixed by law.
In the coinage system of the United
States 25.S grains of standard gold or
%. p grains pure are worth 81, for the
a1l-suficient reason that the law re-
quires just that weight of gold to bs
put into the dollar. In other words,
the gold dollar weighs 25.S grains So
by the English coinage law an ounce
of gold will be coined into SO It's 101Sd
of English money. That amount is
the mint rate; but when gold is de-
posted at the mint for coinage there
is always some delay in getting re-
turns Prior to 1874 that delay aver
aged about sixty days Therefore the
owners of bullion DESTROYS of having
their money at once would sell it to
the brokers for something less
than the mint rate-usually for about
G3 It's Cd an ounce. Accordingly, in
that year parliament enacted that
the bank of England should take all
bullion offered at it's counters and pay
for it at the rate of G3 It's Cd an ounce,
the difference of X pence between
the bank rate and the mint rate being
intended to partially or wholly rein-
burse the bank for delay. That has
been substantially the price of gold
bullion ever since. The act of parlia-
ment at once raised the price of gold
bullion about three pence an ounce. A
favorite argument with the gold peo-
pie is that the value of gold is wholly
independent of coinage. And yet we
see that simple delay of 60 days in
the coinage made a difference of AZ
pence an ounce in the value of gold
bullion. If the delay had been longer
the difference would have been greater.
If it could not have been coined at all
either in England or elsewhere, we
leave some gold worshipers to figure
out how much it would have been
worth
In France the law provides for the
coinage of gold at the rate of 3,100
francs to the kilogramme. The kilo-
gramme is something over ~ pounds
more exactly, 2.67951 pounds troy.
We are not aware of any law in France
similar to the English provision of
1874. In that country the mint rate
difference that may result from delay
in the coinage, as was formerly the
case in England. But this difference
must be very slight, because the gold
can be realized upon Immediately at
the Bank of England.
The reader will of course understand
that it is money" value alone that is
here spoken of. An ounce of gold is
worth just as many ''dollars" as it will
make. But how much those dollars"
|. will buy Tor exchange for) of some
thing else depends upon their number,
compared with the quality of that
something else. The exchange value
of gold is constantly varying, the same
as the exchange value of other things.
If all gold coins were to be doubled in
weight there would only be half as
many of them, and each one would buy
twice as much of other things as it does
now, but it would take twice as much
gold bullion to buy gold dollar. Ma

BEAUTY IN BELTS.

"oman's Fair Form EncIrcIed by Artist,
Zones of Many Designs.
Belted women are everywhere. Shirt
waists and bicycle costumes are respon-
sIble for the belts and the ingenuity of
manufacturers has been stirred in de.
Nlslng rev designs in the bands of
leather and their fastenings, particular
ly in their fastenings. For the buckles
OF oad shapes, emblematic CT everything
under the sun, are the dearest vanity of
the girl and woman who wear a belt.
There is a great, bejeweled Egyptian
buckle 1t is ornamented with bar
barous nagnifcence and it bears the
awful name Of Isis TO give il the due
ancient Egyptian stamp. Then there is
the Rob Roy buckle. 1t is Scotch plaid,
with two thistles crossed in the center.
The belt that goes with this buckle is a
tartan ribbon, broad and CaIedonian,
and IT Is one of the most attractive of
the many belts of the spring.
The D:g Father Knickerbocker belt is
popular design. The buckle is like
that worn by the villain in ancient plays,
large, square and plain. 1t is like those
placed OF the fronts of the shoes of The
old Dutchme'I who ruled New Amster-
dam and were perfectly satisfied with
themselves.
There are bicycle belts beyond count.
Many OF them have a wheel arranged IN
some ingenious way for the buckle.
Large hDTseshoes are seen in some bicy-
Gle belts, probably in ironical reference
to the 'iecadence of the horse, now that
the wheel has come into general use.
The belt portion Of the bicycle is five
inches wide and is elastic, so that it
will keep the skirt up and the waist
down ard at the same time give support
to the back of the wearer as she hurTics
-aichg on her silent steed.
Besides these freakish belts, there are
scores OF dainty little girdles of elastic,
enameled with daisies, buttercups, for
get-me-nots and other simple flowers
of the woods. giving the pastoral effect
that is inexpressibly charming. The
buckle is sometimes a water-coIor por-
trait of friend, or of Martha Washing
ton, or Mrs Cleveland, or Queen Vic
toria, or Lillian Russell, or some other
well-known woman Tor whom the wear.
er has Z regard. These belts cost ii.
high as S35 and each one is warranted t.
be worth the money.
y pretty custom this spring is that Ct
giving buckles as keepsakes. The young
man of the day gives the young woman
a buckle of some quaint and attractive
design, as he might give her a book OF
a bouquet. If he gives her something
that no one else has it is so much The
more acceptable.
All belts are not S35. You may buy
them for 20 cents in some of the stores
But everyone is wearing belt, cheap CT
expensive, ugly or beautiful, and every
one is interested in the subject of belts
