Why This FavorItIsm?

Silver "a be p%rofitably produced in
this country at 60 cents an ounce. 1t
is now selling here for a fraction over
SO cents.
The mine wner ask, and the Chi
cago convention is ready to agree, that
the government shall make their prod
uct worth $1.29 for coinage purposes.
Why this favoritism? If the govern
ment-which the taxpayers-is
to double the value of silver bullion,
why may it not logically be asked to
double the value of wheat, corn, cot
ton and potatoes by making an "un-
limited market for them at a fictitious
price?
The silver product of this country is
relatively of minor Importance. Its real
value in 1895 was about s32, 600, 900.
The copper product was worth $685.
600, 200, pig iron $1O5, OO0, 900 and soft
coal sis, 000, 900. Why should these
products be sold at commercial rates
and silver be doubled in money value
by act of congress?
The silver craze is, at bottom, the
most unjust pa%ternalism and the worst
bunko game ever attempted in this
ccuntry.-New York World.

TsaIzac on Color Influence.

Balzac's curious speculations suggest
the extent to which color influences
our human life. He had noticed that a
woman who had a taste for orange or
green gown was quarrelsome; one who
wore a yellow or black apparel, with
out apparent cause. was not to be
trusted; preference for white showed
a coquette spirit; gentle and thought
full women prefer pink; women who re-
gard themselves as being unfortunate
prefer pearl gray; lilac is the shade
particularly affected by "overripe
beauties;;'' wherefore, the great author
held, lilac hats are mostly worn by
mothers on their daughters marriage
day and by women o than 40 years
old when they go visiting.
These theories are founded upon
the principles of color, as already laid
down-namely, that red and yellow ex-
cite; green, tempered by blue, is bill
ious; orange is fiery; gray is/cold and
melancholy; lilac is a light shade of
purple, the most retiring color of the
scale.-Popular Science Monthly.

The greatest dinner that ever I sat
down to consisted of a leg of mutton,
dressed with mustard, a bit of hot
wheat bread, and some fresh butter,
with half a jug of fine whisky to wash
it down. 1t was in front of New Hope
church in the summer of ga. Some
M had sent Eustis a leg of mutton.
Some n had sent Yeatman a large
pill box of butter. Bragg, Gen. Folks
cook, had some flour. Eustis and Yeat-
man invited Gov. Harris and myself.
The governor happened to have a key
which fitted Gen. Folks medicine case.
All of us united in making the rob-
berry of a vial of Irish whisky, the gen
eral himself being absent, and that was
the dinner! Glorious dinner!
Please God, the quartet still survives
to tell the tale, which they do when
cver they meet and can get an au-
dience. Eustis is in Paris, ambassa-
dor; the same cool, self-possessed man
in diplomacy he used to be under fire;
able, brave and lazy. Harris-touch-
ing the eighties-is the dashing, bril-
liant, impetuous boy he was thirty-two
years ago-and, silver or gold, or neith-
er. I look toward him as l write!
Yeatman, obtrusive only in his cour-
age on the battlefield, lives the life of
cultivated leisure and unambitious rus
ITCHY which delighted him most when
he was both younger and richer than
he is, though he still has his ances.
trail acres. That was a dinner!!-Cour-
ier-Jcurnal.

TRYING TO DODGE THE ISSUE.
Presidential Candidate Bryan Appeals to
National Preiudi,0

National P%rejudi.s
In the speech which gained him the
Democratic nomination for president
the Hon. w. j. Bryan of Nebraska said
in reference to what he termed 1.-The
great, paramount ISSUE: my friends,
to legislate for it's own people on every
question without waiting for the aid or
consent Of any other nation on earth,
and upon that issue we expect to car
~ every single state in this Union"
If this mears anything, it means that
the paramount issue" on which the
silverite campaign is to be fought is
not free silver at 16 to 1, but the ques-
tion whether this country is able to leg
islate fer it's own people. On this is
sue there can be no dispute. OF course
the United States can legis.ate with
out the aid or consent Of any other
country. No advocate of sound money
will for a moment deny Mr.. Bryan's
assertion, nor has any one ever done so.
II congress cj,ooSes to pass a law that
the tides shall never rise more than
four feet along any part of our sea-
coast, 1t has a perfect right to do so.
II the United States wishes to enact
legislation fo%Tbidding the Russian this
tie to grow, it is able to do so with
out the consent of any other nation.
If congress chooses to fix the price OF
sugar at 4 cents per pound, it can Leg
islate to that effect without any ait7
from the hated British or Frenchman
There is no doubt about our ability to
legislate on every question withou:
asking anybody's consent.
But if congress passes foolish laws,
will they have any effect? That is tho
real issue. Can the price Of such a CON-
modify as sugar be fixed by our laws:
Certainly not. Equally impossible
would it be to fix the price of silver a:
16 to l of gold. No believer in sounG,
money thinks or says that we canno,
pass a free and unlimited 16 to l coin.
age law. They do say, and all the ex>
perience of mankind proves that they
are right, that under such a law this
country cannot alone maintain the
value of silver at the present ratio.
Mr.. Bryan's attempt to run away
from the question as to our ability tc
raise the value Of all the worlds silver
without the agreement (not the con-
sent, as he states i) of the great COM
mercial nations shows the weakness of
the silver cause. Confusing the ability
to legislate, which nobody denies, with
the ability to control values by legisia-
ton may do for a stump speech. 1t will
not deceive the American people, who
know well enough that our laws cannot
fix the value of silver or of any other
labor product.

FEMININE ELECTRICITY,
The Unfattcrlng Term Negative ID
o. Still Used.

Auo OuAatCcrlnS IeFm Negative" Is
Still Used.
From the beginning it had been no.
ticed that there were two kinds of cler-
ical forces, but these were named, with
reckless discourtesy, positive and neg
alive. as though the second had been
inferior, inactive, merely receptive,
says Harper's Weekly. And yet there
were suggestions Of the true relations
of these two forces that should not
have been overlooked. 1t is recorded
that six years after the St. Petersburg
professors fatal experiment (about
1859, Robert SPINNER, when pulling
off his stockings in the evening, re-
marked that they gave a cracking
noise and emitted sparks BY varied
experiments he discovered that the
electricity was most powerful when a
silk and worsted stocking had been
worn on the same leg, or, if the stock
lngs were both of silk, then more d.
verting results we've obtained when
they were of different colors. Two white
silk stockings or two black ones gave
no electrical indications. When a black
and white stockings were withdrawn
from the same leg, and then separated,
they were SO much inflated that each
showed the entire shape of the leg and
at a distance of eighteen inches they
rushed to meet each other. Separated
by force they would again become in
Hated. and be as ready to rush together
as before. When this experiment was
performed with two black stockings in
one hand and two white in the other,
the repulsion Of those of the same color
their jealousy-and the attraction Of
those of different colors would throw
them into agitation and make them
catch each at that of it's opposite color
at 4 greater distance" Plainly this
eighteenth century student mad to do
with masculine and feminine electric
ity and yet the unflattering term "neg-
ative," as applied to the feminine, has
persisted yer to our day.

Of Mon.

Jack paid me last night the compli-

Maude. complacently, as she straight
ened her necktie. "He said my clothes
always suited me and were chosen with
exquisite taste; that they seemed a part
of myself"
How lovely! What did you say to

they lid not suit me, for l had four

Tho Common peopls.

At this crisis the claim is made that
Bryan resembles Lincoln in his faith
in "the common people," This is a line
of comparison that Bryan's friends
have made a mistake in suggesting.
Lincoln realized that in the long run
the mass of the people are honest in
their inclinations and are not to be
misled for any great length of time.
The common. people know an honest
dollar from a fraudulent dollar. They
know the difference between states
manship and will-o'-the-wispism. They
cannot he permanently blinded by
dazzling epigrams or the picturesque
attractions of youth and %eloquence.
Common sense is the inalienable heri-
tage of the common people.

Why Not Ten Cent Dollars?

We all know that this country can
sustain a limited amount of silver cur
rency at a ratio of 16 to / because 1t is
already doing it. But IL it can sustain
an unlimited amount coined at the
same ratio, why can it not as we'll sus-
tain it at a ratio Of 3 to 1? In other
words, why can it not strike from our
10-cent piece the inscription zone
dime" and make it zone d%ollar?" II
this be practicable-and 1t seems to me
that the one is as practicable as the
other-is no. the proposition of unlim-
tied 16 to 1 an extravagant and uee-
less waste of the most valuable COM
modify which the world has ever
known? 1t appears that there are
greater possibilities open to the adj
vocates of the white metal than even
they have as yet conceived.

VICTIMS OF CHEAP MONEY.
Macau1ay's Description of Those Who
suffered by Clipped Coins.

A~1acaulay's Description of Those Who
suffered by Clipped Coins.
Free coinage at IL to 1 is equivalent
to clipping from As to so cents from
the present dollar. 1t would give us
a debased dollar of varying value. The
world has had experience with clipped
coins. Poorly minted coins during
Queen Elizabeth's time made it easy
to clip them. Coin clipping was car
ried On extensively during the rest of
the 10th and during all of the
seventeenth century. BY 1895, Macau-
lay tells us, lit could hardly be said
that the country possessed, for prac-
teal purposes, any measure Of the
value of commodities"
Speaking of the. effects upon the
people at large of this debased coin Of
uncertain value, this great historian
says that 1T may we'll be doubted
whether all the misery which had been
inflicted on the English nation in a
quarter of a century by bad kings, bad
ministers, bad ~parliaments and bad
judges was equal to the misery caused
in a couple Of years by bad rowns and
bad %shillnigs." He describes the work.
ings and effects in the following lam
guage:
But when the great instrument of eX-
change became thoroughly %deranged,
all trade, all industry, were smitten as
with a palsy. The evil was felt daily
and hourly in almost every place and
by almost every class, in the dairy and
on the thrashing floor, by the anvil and
by the loom, Oil the pillows Of the
ocean and in the depths of the mine.
Nothing could be purchased without a
dispute. Over every counter there was
wrangling from morning to night. The
workman and his employer had a
quarrel as regularly as the Saturday
came round. On a fair day or a mar
ket day the clamors, the reproaches,
the taunts, the curses, were incessant,
and it was well if no booth was over
turned and no head broken. No mer-
chant would contract tt deliver goods
without making some stipulation about
the quality of the coin in which he
was to be paid. Even men of business
were often bewildered by the confu-
sion into which all pecuniary transac-
tions were thrown. The simple and the
careless were pillaged without mercy
by extortioners, whose demands grew
even more rapidly than the money
shrank. The price of the necessaries
of life, of shoes, of ale, Of oatmeal, rose
fast.
The laborer found that the bit Of
metal which, when he received it, was
called a shilling would hardly, when
he wanted to purchase a pot of beer or
a loaf of rye bread, go as far as six
pence. Where artisans of more than
usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, as in the dockyards at
Chatham, they were able to make their
complaints heard and to obtain some
redress. But the ignorant and helpless
peasant was cruelty ground between
one class which would give money only
by tale and another which would take
it only by weight.-"Macaulay's His
tory of England"

Where the Germans Stand.

OF the SOP German newspapers to
which circulars were sent by the Ger
man-American Sound Money League a
short time ago, 351 are in favor of a
gold standard, and only 81 in favor of
the free coinage Of silver. Over 100
of the 502 German papers have thus
far failed to make any reply to the
committees circular.
The party that overlooks the Ger
man vote need not worry itself about
official responsibility. The Germans
constitute but a small per cent of our
politicians, but are an important class
on election day.

pay nearly s. for board, nearly $24 for
a suit, nearly 81 per garment for un-

silver would NEAR to you, for some
time, at least.-Dry Goods Economist.

How to Tell Good Money.

Henri Cernuschi is an eminent polit-
ical economist and an able advocate
of international bimetallism. He is
often quoted by free coinage advocates
who would never accept his test for
good and bad money. 1t ia as follows:
It is by the ordeal Of fire that money
can be tried. The coins which, being
melted down, retain the entire value
for which they were legal tender before
they were melted down, are gooe
money. Those which do not retain It
are not good money"
