DOUBLE THE BUsHEL.

There - whole fed OF fascinating
possibilities latent IN the Popgllst argu-
uent. now seized on By the IRE. silver
advocates. that legislative enactment By
this country can alter The laws OF trade
and change at one bow the standard
measure OF values for the whole world.
For example. there is the great prob
lem OF overproeuction OF great staples and
the consequent depression in price 10 the
Injury OF the classes engaged in its pro-
dactlon. Now with Populist president
and congress. willing 10 proceed In exact
accordance with III. logic OF the free ST.
YER advocates. nothing would be easier
than 10 remedy such a condition OF things
by legislative enactment The simple
eat" of the government would be suffi-
client. The enactment OF a law making the
standard bushel OF wheat consist OF 10
pounds instead OF sixty. as Il is al pres
ent. would DO the work errectuaIly.
The entire stock OF wheat IN the country
would al once be reduced to one-hslt The
number OF bushels which existed before
the law passed. and every bushsl OF grain
would be worth Just twice as much as De-
fore. The result so far as this staple is
concerned would be precisely and iden-
tlcaIly the same as II the country were to
reduce the standard OF coinage one-half.
as Is proposed 20 be done by free silver
coinage.
or course. the actual value which the
farmer or holder OF wheat would receive
would be precisely the same as 1t was
before the passage OF such q law. but
that Is a goldbag argument, unworthy OF
serious attention by any free silver man.

SILK RAG CURTAINS.

~ F late all sorts Of new ideas have
been thought of for portieres and
draperies. People are apparently
becoming tired OF the hansings of
chenille, plush or brocade. and
are limiting for something new. Portieres
made Of woven silk rags are made by ex-
actiy the same method as the ordinary
rag carpet. The silk is cut or torn into
strips of even width, and any haphazard
length, and are even Tapped upon each
other and sewed togetherl without re-
gard to color, except that two pieces OF
the same color are joined to each ether.
II there are few or many OF some un-
usual and brilliant color they must be
scattered so as to appear at intervals
over the entire surface. Any weaver OF
rag carpeting-and they can easily be
found either in town or country-will
take the sewed rags and weave them
into panel Of the required length and
width, and this is usually about three
and half feet in width by seven feet
in length. The warp should be of coarse
linen thread, either black or dark blue.
