HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.


A Bostonian got in trouble in the
Knutsford last evening. He acciden-
tally and unfortunately fell in with
one of the conversation rings, and last
evening the subject happened to be
monetary.
The conversation ran about like this,
the Hub man beginning:
Il can't imagine why in the world
you Republicans wouldn't support Nc
Kinley should he be nominated Isn't
he perfectly solid on protection?'
'Of course he is, but he's off on sill
yer, and 1 for one do not propose to
vote for man who is not thoroughly
straight on the silver question:
Now, of course 1 and ali of the peo-
pie around me in New England are
sound money men, but even if L
were in favor of your position on the
money question 1 should ask you how
you will ever get free silver unless
you get protection first? Otherwise
wouldn't the silver from all over the
world pour into the United States in
such immense quantities that you"
But where would it come from?
No country on earth now has enough
for its own use: let alone sending it to
TIA United States. by my d-nr
friend, do you know BOW much silver
here would be per carIta should EVER,
poured into this country"
mo, l must confess I do not
There would be exactly fifty dollars
and a few cents per man. Do you call
that very much money!"
well, not SO very much. But to
change the drift little. l can readily
see how the reconciliation of silver
would benefit you people here and the
people in other sllver-producing states,
but how could, how would we in the
east derive any benefit from it?''
Why, prices are regulated in
country by the amount of money in
circulation. If the amount of money
is doubled, prices are doubled, and
so on
And if prices are doubled, how will
that be to your advantage? You pay
so much for an article now. If what
you say is true with the remonetiza-
ton of silver, you would have twice as
much money, but would have to pay
just twice as much for the articles as
you did before. Is there:any gain?'
THAT isn't it. Say a man has a
farm mortgaged for $4,000. His farm
is worth 100000 If prices are doubled
his farm is worth s2O,00O but The
mortgage remains the same.
Lets quit. 1 guess the juleps are
on me. Come on, five glasses, John"
said the genial man from Massachu-
sets, dropping a nickel in the slot
machine.
