failed to develop q single scandal of
any kind. In their conduct the $50
men who returned to their homes yes
terday were, we believe, representative
of the manhood of the state. 1t has
been remarked that it was hard work
to find what is called drinking man
who was habitually addicted to the
vicesof alcohol. Even tobacco was at
discount. These are small matters
but 1t Is nevertheless worth while to
record them. In point OF ability we
believe the legislature which adjourned
Saturday was equal to any recent gen..

above any other in receut times" *.

We wonder if there is any.
Silks.

&
okkNoo thing we can say, which we
have not already said about our Silk Depart
ment To us it seems, sometimes that the read
ers of our advertisements must become wearied
with the reiteraton of large stock, low price,
etc. But if that is what you have, how else
could you tell it? We try and try to think
of some new way of telling you we have a
larger stock and at low prices, but to save us
we can't change the old stereotyped express
sion very much.
When we were in New York we saw indica-
tions that lots of silks would be used this
season. This encouraged us to buy much more
than is our usual custom. We know of no
reason for anyone sending away for silks We
have a large enough variety for anyone to make
a satisfactory selection. In silks for waists we
are decidedly "in it." We have the latest and
correct styles
Printed Warp Persians, Printed Indas and
Plaids - prices as low as SOC on these and
23c on the common figured China silks.
We have an extensive range of patterns
and qualities in Black Brocaded Silks. Some
as low as 6Oc, and from that price up to Si.l9.
These goods are the proper thing for capes,
skirts, or black waists.
In the plain silks we are Offering some
remarkable values One of them being
Luxor, 20 inches wide for 75c. 1t is all right,
both as to quality and looks. Among the bet
ter grades we have values equally as great, but
we speak of the cheapest one in particular, as
all advertisers do. If we mentioned the ones
we are selling for $l25 or $1.3S, you might say,
that isn't cheap, saw one at another place for
$1OO. Sometimes the grade we say the least
about in our advertisements is the best bargain.
We have the widest piece of silk you ever
saw It is Satin Duchess, 80 inches wide, at
S1.48. 1t is very heavy and rich, and is the
kind you could say of it: That it stands
alone"
If you are thinking of buying any silk,
come in and give us chance to make the sale.
You will find that seeing the piece is much
more satisfactory than seeing only small
sample. Especially is this true of the printed
warp, as the very nature of the silk makes it
impossible for you to form correct impression
of it's appearance from sample.

can we say when that is what we have. We

Well we hardly think so. People in Audubon
county buy just as good goods as people in Cass
county, or any other county. We are not afraid
but what we will sell it. In fact we have sold
some of it already. All our laces are not so
much as that We have the cheapest as we'll as

shelving is generally built, we would have over

our customers do not realize that we have as
large a stock have, because we do not
spread over SO large floor space. We have
these shelves filled to their utmost capacity
with ladies' and children's shoes (no men's)
If we had this same stock streached out like
shoe stores have, you would say, Russell must
be running a shoe store instead of dry goods
store. We have larger stock of ladies' and
chldren's shoes than shoe stores have. Our
prices are less. We can afford to sell for less
1t costs us nothing to sell shoes. No more
rent fuel light or the other items which make
up the expenses of a store. That's why we
can sell them for less. We make just as much
in the end. The difference in our prices and
shoe stores prices is the cost of selling.

OF 25.S grains Of gold. That is the essence Of
the proposition for free coinage, and NO
amount Of plausible false logic and theories
based on mere beliefs can make It anything
else
There are two erroneous ideas In that
paragraph. They are based on false
assumptions. In the first place, the
value of the American dollar is not
now and never was based on the mar
ket value Of 4121S grains Of standard
silver or any other quantity. The
money value Of the coin and the mar
ket value Of the bullion from which
the coin Is made are two essentially
different things. Under free coinage
the owner Of bullion brings it to the
mint and it is there coined for his ben
eft. The law sffixes q certain value to
the coin, but says nothing about the
value Of the bullion.
In the second place, the value Of gold
Is not fixed in open market. There is
no gold bullion market, except for
"old gold"-such as has been used in
the arts, as jeWelry, spectacle frames,
and the like. The value of gold used
In coinage is fixed by law. The Bank
of England is required to buy all the
gold offered at G3 17s Sd per ounce of
standard metal. The United States
mints coin, without charge, all the
standard gold bullion brought for that
purpose; and the coins having legal
and fixed money value, that value reg.
ulstes the value of the bullion, for no
owner Of such bullion would take less
for 1t than its money value will be
when 1t is changed to coin.

GIVE THE TWINS A CHANCE.

The newspapers and politicians are
discussing the political outlook and
are debating among themselves whether
tariff or money shall be first taken up
for consideration when Congress meets.
Senator Sherman insists on immediate
provision for raising more revenue;
while Mr.. Dingley, Chairman of the
Ways and Means committee In the
House, thinks It better to let the tariff
question alone till it can be taken up
with the view Of making a general re-
vision.
Mr.. Sherman has been of opinion, all
along, that our financial troubles since
1893 have come from lack of revenues.
He has frequently stated in the Senate
and In interviews that If the treasury
had been well supplied with funds
there would have been no necessity for
the sale Of bonds. The President made
1t quite clear that 1t was not more rev.
enue we needed, but more gold. He
showed that customs duties and excise
taxes are not now paid with gold, and
hence, that If the receipts from those
sources were increased ever so much,
1t would not relieve the strain on the
treasury for gold; that It was gold and
only gold that was demanded by the
speculstors who presented government
notes for redemption.
On the other hand, Mr.. Dlngley, see.
ing that just now there is abundance
Of gold coin in the treasury, thinks it
viii be better, from q partisan stand
point, to let the revenues alone for the
present and take up the monetary diff
ficulties for adjustment. He argues
that the country has become sccus-
toned to the existing tariff schedules,
that business Is being conducted on the
basis Of rates fixed by the law which
was passed more than two years ago,
and any present effort toward change
ofparticular duties Or general revision
would likely check the boom that set
In immediately after the late election,
and that would count against the Re.
publican party and the incoming ad.
ministration.
In either case the outlook is not en-.
couraging. The present tariff rates

PEFFER WANTS THE EARTH.

Under the above head the Kansas
City Journal of last Saturday prints
the following In q Topeka dispatch:
Senator Peffer's desire TO grab everything in
sight may result In his getting lett all the way
around. He wants to be reelected United
States Senator; wants his paper, the ADvo-
CATE, to be made the official State paper, and
wants one Of his Office attaches TO be made
State Printer This is little more than the
Populists feel is due him, when it Is taken into
account that he deserted his State at the time
he was needed the most to make political
speeches in States whore there was no earthly
show to defeat the Republicans In fact, his
hOgglsh desire for all these offices has arrayed
a large number Of his old-time friends against
him, and he may wake up about January u
and find himself in Ingalls, predicament-a
statesman out Of job.
The Journal correspondence matter
Is somewhat at variance with the truth.
Senator PETER has said that If, on the
record he has made, the people return
him to the Senate, he viii accept their
suffrsges gratefully, assuring them
that he will continue to give in return
his best service.
The ADVOCATE has not asked for
the official printing, and is asking
nothing.
No sttsche Of the ADVOCATE is q
candidate for State Printer or for any
other Office. George Wagner, who was
formerly manager of the paper, has,
we understand, announced his csndi-
dscy for State Printer. He has not
been employed with the ADVOCATE
since March z, 1895, and has not owned
q cents worth Of interest In it or been
connected with the paper In any way
whatever since about May l, 1895. It
might also be stated In this connection
that the ADVOCATE has no desire to
participate in any of the contests for
position, believing, as it does, that the
State administration and the Leglsla-
ture are Rbundsntly able to attend to
all such matters wisely and well with.
out outside interference or assistance.
AS to Senator PETERS desertion of
the State campaign, it might first be
stated that his action in assisting in
the campaign in other States was taken
at the urgent request Of the National
committee and that it was with per-
fectly satisfactory understanding with
the State committee. Two Of the
States in which he csmpsigned were
carried for Bryan and q third was lost
by q small plurality. 1t was hardly
reasonable to expect to secure outside
speakers for Kansas unless Kansas
gave some of her speakers in return.
The advocate., 1896-11-18

IF the Republican papers Of Kansas
will stop bowling over their defeat and
deal honestly with the incoming State
administration, they will soon see their
phantoms disappear and Kansas will
be herself again.
