Thc Repuhlican POLICY Ind

Tho Republican party has always kept
silver ut parity with gold. 1t proposes
to keep silver money in circulation and
preserve side by side gold, silver, paper,
each the equnl to tho other, and each the
equal of tho best, and the best never to be
inferior to the best money known to the
commercial nations Of tho world. It viii
continue to favor policy that will give
work to American citizens, markets to the
American farmers and sound money to
both. ~
What Has Already Been Done For Silver.
We.have much moro silver in use than
any country in tho world except India or
China-S5 800, 000, 600 moro than Great
Britain; s1b0,0o0,0o0 moro than France;
S400, 000,00 more than Germany; $685..
000, 600 less than India and $ls5, 600. 600
less than Chinn. 1t is not proposed by the
Republican party to takc from the circu-
hitting medium OF the country any of the
silver we now have. On tho contrary, It
Is proposed TO keep all of the silver money
now III circulation on u purity with gold
by maintaining the pledge of the governs

SEER AND SIBYL
Worse Sins for Women
Than Much Style.
SibyPs Advice Should be Followed.
a Gown That Cost
$500.

Mr.. Editor:-I have read, l believe,
all of the interesting an instructive let
tiers of your entertaining correspon-
dent, Sibyl, and if space will permit,
should like to say a word in reply. But
it must not be supposed that wish
to criticize or to take exception to
any of her remarks, for that, think,
were impossible-unless it is to say
fear there are evils abroad in the land,
that she visits not of, and that is a
thousand-fold more disastrous in it's
effect than any of the vagaries of fash
ion.
For though there are many fashions
that are monstrous, and though, I'M
fortunately, many ladies do carry it
too far for their own good and for the
peace and purse of their husbands,
still, there are worse things than fash
ion in the world. Sibyl, however, is
quite right in condemning the cruel
birds and other cruel practices, and we
don't know which to pity most, the
poor birds or the ladies who display
such evidences of insensibility as to
wear these emblems of cruelty. She
is also quite right in condemning those
fashions that are neither tasteful, ap-
propriate or becoming; and in trying
to persuade her readers to form an ele-
CANT and correct taste in dress.
And l must also say it is my opin-
ion that they would do well to follow
her good advice, for there are very few
ladies, 1 believe, that have any idea
that the clothes they wear show the
bent of their minds, and in many in
stances, the capacity of it as well. Yet,
nevertheless, such is the case; for
there is scarcely anything they can
wear but what speaks-louder than
words-what manner of persons they
are, or at least, aspire to be.
Ladies should also remember that a
cultivated and correct taste for dress
can only spring from cultivated
mind; and, therefore, if they would
aspire to the one, they must possess
the other. We would also beg to say
that this precious knowledge is cheap
at the price.
We would also like to remind them
that nature has done great deal more
for them than it has for the sterner
sex; and, therefore, it seems pity to
see them often mar their native beauty,
when with little pains, they might
not only enhance it, but make them
selves still more charming, and quite
irresistible We would also wish to
say that we consider true elegance to
consist rather in elaboration or per-
feet finish than in costliness, and that
one of the most tasteful and becom
ing gowns we ever saw, only cost, so
we were informed by the graceful
owner, 81.
No, costly material has very little to
do with real elegance. 1t is, rather,
in that nameless, indescribable some
thing which harmonizes, in some mys-
Lerious manner, with themselves. 1t is
the tone, color and style and
themselves into a beautiful whole,
where the best effect is seen, and where
his desirable object is attained. There
is very little more to be wished for
Dr. desired, because nothing more can
be done. 1 remain yours very truly,
SEER.
