Paris, Oct SO.-Perhaps the most striking
thing about this winters hats is their
sombreness. Not that the sombreness is
oppressive at all And if one could forget
the vivid coloring of last years hats. the
multi-colored roses and the violets bunch

be designated even as bright hats.
There are plenty Of pretty bright colors
used. but the tendency is to harmonic
rather than contrast colors. For instance,
when bright yellow is used on a hat it is
toned down by darker shade, finally ar"
irving at burnt orange and dark brown

Women who affect picture hats have
cause to rejoice this winter, for not only
are the hats big and fluffy with feathers,
but they are for the most part built of
velvet. and velvet is so invariably be-
coming to all sorts and types of faces.
1t is even permissible to wear a small
velvet hat with a tailormade gown, If

THEM THEY FoUGEp GOLD.

For twenty years the financial ques-
ton has been under discussion in Amer
lea. During the past three years it has
been the leading issue. Almost every
political speech during that time has
contained something on the subject.
Millions upon top of millions of editorials
upon the question have been written and
printed. During all this time and dis
cusslon the advocates of free silver and
free gold coinage have had occasion time
after time to point to France. citing the
part that government has played in
maintaining bimetallism by standing up
for silver
1t has been claimed and never success
fully denied that of all the governments
of the world France has dealt most in
diligently with the financial question.
Not single advocate of free coinage
who has given the subject thought can
be found who does not point with pride
to the action OF the French government
in behalf of silver, and readily proclaim
that of all the nations France has been
the strongest friend the white metal has
had among the gold and silver using
countries. But how few people know or
stop to consider the fact that but for
France the contest in the United States
today would be a fight for the renone-
tization of gold instead of silver, as 1t is.
But for France w. ]. Bryan would to-
day be branded by the same power that
brands him slverloon goldloon.
Had France Joined her neighbors in the
past and along with them demonetized
gold as they did the money power of the
world would be fighting the remonetiza-
ton of gold instead Of silver and pro-
claiming the advocates of free gold and
silver coinage goldloons, anarchists, So
cialists, regulators, ETC., etc.
How few have stopped to familiarize
themselves with the fact that in 1S4S,
when gold was first discovered in Cali
fornia, and three years later in Austria
liza, the money owning power of the world
began to clamor for the demonstration
of gold, which clamor finally resulted in
the total demonet.zation of that metal by
the following nations: Austria, Holland,
Belgium, Portugal and Russia. By this
time the cry of dishonest money was
| raging. The men who had fixed incomes
and the idle holders of idle capital than,
as now, were making the welkin ring
against the regulators. anarchists and
socialists who wanted to continue the
| free use of gold along with silver as
money of final redemption.
The French government stood firm and
continued its minis open to the free coin
age of both metals.
That France would be able to maintain
the parity Of the two metals was hooted
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-09-23

at by thu same class of financial writer's
who are today and have been during the
past several years engaged, many of
them at SO much per column to inform
the people that the United States cannot
single handed and alone maintain the
parity of the two metals by opening it's
minis to the free coinage of both gold
and silver
The only difference in the contest of to-
day and that from 1848 to 1860, in which
France played 50 important part, is
that then the money changers were fight
ing against the use of gold as money and
they are now fighting against the use OF
silver as money. Then the shylocks
thought silver was going to be the dear
est metal. now they think gold the
dearer.
A careful study of the contest from
1S4S to 1860 establishes two facts; one is
that a single nation, and that nation
France, has in the past been able to
maintain the parity Of the two metals at
15ia to l, when the commercial ratio was
at 40 to 1 and the ratio of production
was as to l. The other is that the
money power, the creditor class, Is ever
ready to advocate the abandonment of
one of the metals as money metal; the
according to which of the two is the
scarcer and most likely to increase the
purchasing power of their cash holdings.

BISMARCK FOR FREE COINAGE

Last Saturday night Governor Culber-
son of Texas read to an audience he was
addressing at Dallas, Tex, "a letter from
Prince Bismarck, replying to one previ-
ously addressed to him by Mr.. Culberson.
The letter is as follows:
''Friedrichsruhe. Aug. "a, 1896.
Honored Sir: Your esteemed favor has
been duly received. l hold that this is
the very hour that would be advisable
to bring about between the nations chief
ly engaged in the worlds commerce a
mutual agreement in favor of the estab
lishment of bimetallism. The United
States are freer by far in their move
ments than any nation of Europe, and
hence IL the people OF the United States
should find it compatible with their in
terests to take Independent action in the
direction of bimetallism 1 cannot but be-
lieve that such action would exert a mosc
salutary influence upon the consumma-
ton of International agreement.
BISMARCK"
Here we have from one of the ablest,
most practical and successful of Europe
en- statesmen a positive declaration that
he cannot but believe that IL this govern
ment should take independent action in
the direction OF free coinage such action
would have a most salutary effect and
influence In bringing about an interna-
tional agreement for bimetallism among
the great commercial nations of the
world-the very result the democratic
party contends will be accomplished by
the success of its candidates In Novem-
ber-while on the other hand the republi-
can party maintains that the United
States shall take no steps toward the es-
tablishment of bimetallism without the
permission and aid of foreign nations.
The republican party, dominated and
owned by the money power as it is, will
do nothing to secure the cooperation Of
other countries for the establishment of
international bimetallism. Bimetalllsm,
whether independent or international, can
be accomplished only through the demo-
cratic party, and democratic success in
the pending election means international
bimetallism by the consent and co-opera-
ton of the United States before the close
of 1897.
No doubt the letter of Prince Bismarck
will have much influence on the German
American voters in the United States,
many of whom are supposed to be OPP
posed to free coinage.
