POP ALIENS LITTLE JOKE,
How He Abased the Confidence of "Com-
muters' Row."


How He Abased the Confidence of "Com-
muters' Row."
In a suburban town about Is miles
from New York there is street the
real name of which does not matter,
for it is rarely mentioned by the
residents. Owing to the fact that
the men of nearly every family
along this thoroughfare are engaged
IN business in the city and spend a
part OF their lives travelling back and
forth with ceaseless and monotonous
regularity the street itself was long
ago reohristened Commuters row"
AT the head of the ROW" and far
thest from the railway station lives
a man who is the veritable father of
commuters. Old residents can
scarcely remember the time when
Pop Allen, as he is irreverently re-
ferred to by the younger men, was
not actively engaged in catching
trains. Long experience has enabled
him to reduce the matter to an exact
science. He reaches the station each
morning just as the SOY pulls in,
having not an instant to spare, but
never missing the train.
The younger and sprier inhabit-
ants of Commuters row. have al
ways considered it peculiarly fortu-
nate that Pop Allen should live at
the upper end of the street. This
circumstance compels him to pass
each of the various houses in turn,
and his fellow travellers have been in
the habit of eating their breakfast
with their eyes fixed upon the win
dow.
When the familiar form goes by
the door with its measured, military
stride, each man knows that the ST.
prone moment is at hand. There is
a general and immediate exodus
from all the houses on the row, and
by hurrying trifle the belated ones
are able to overtake Pop and catch
the train.
This universal dependence upon
his movements was not lost on the
old gentleman, and one day he con-
ceived the mischievous idea of Civ
ing the boys" surprise. The in
nocent victims of his plot found to
their establishment that they were
able to come much nearer than usual
to finishing their breakfasts that
morning. Two or three even in
dulged in second cup of coffee, and
still Pop had not appeared. But
their suspicious were slow to arouse,
for the clock was known to be IL
regular compared with their model.
AT last the watchers beheld him
striding by and rose with relief to
follow. The procession was we'll
under way with Pop still in the lead
and the others gradually gaining
when they arrived in sight of the
station. The younger commuters
could not believe their eyes. The
6:07 was just pulling out. Looks of
mingled amazement and Indignation
too deep for words were turned upon
Pop Allen, who seemed not in the
least ruffled by the occurrence.
"Why, boys" he said, looking
around from one to another, as if
just then conscious of their pres
ence, care you all going to take the |
later train this morning? It's queer,
but I just happened to miss the SOY |
myself. New York Tribune.

MIR. st. John received n salary OF
$4,000 Il year as president OF one OF
the largest national banks OF the
United States. He studied the finan-
cial question thoroughly and became
convinced that the only way to re-
licve the country from the general
business and industrial depression is
to open the mints to silver rs we'll rs
to golJ. He shows by irreiutuble
argument that the gold will flow into
the country instead OF out OF it if
silver is remonctizcd aud that We
cannot be deluged with foreign
silver. as the single gold standard
people pretend to believe, because
there Is no great quantity OF silver
stored anywhere in the world. exert

foreign nations send their coins here
to be mintcd they will lose from threc
to SIX cents on every dollar by the
transaction.
Mr.. St. John is confident that his
State will give its electoral vote to Bry-
an. He is ON the ground and knows the
opinion that exists among the people.
and which the subsidized mctropoli-
tan press does not reflect or in any

PresIdent'a Private Life.

The following is a fair idea OF the
many incidentals that CONS free to a
President: Every bit OF linen, bed
ding, towels. and such things are fur
nislIed. He is shaved by the White
House barber. His table is spread
with the finest. daintiest damask, set
with the most exquisite china, and
bountifully supplied with flowers
from tho White House Conservatives.
II he sends "a telegram. it is done from
nj instrument in the White House,
for which the Government pays. His
stationery, postage, etc. cost him
nothing. Should he desire n game OF
billiards, there is a beautiful table Mt
hand; or il he wants to take a drive,
HE stables, which tho Government
pays the rent for and tukes care Of,
are amply equipped. When he enters
his business Office, a man ia stationed
at the door to open and close il; and

assists him with his correspondence.
The services Of n Typewriter are also
furnished. He is protected from the

watchmen> Should he want a cruise,
a magnificent steamship from the
navy is placed at his disposal.
There arc ihnny other things that

sIMETALLIsM FOR OURSELVES.

We propose to base our system OF
finance upon the well tried doctrine
of bimetalliam. We declare that our
bonded debt, that the greenback and
treasury notes. and all other forms Of
government paper payable in coin, are
payable in gold or silver, Mt the option
Of the government, and not Mt the up
tion or pleasure OF those holding gov
eminent obligations. We insis. that
this government is strong enough to
pursue the policy that is followed to-
day by the bank OF France, which ia,
10 pay gold or silver ut the option OF
the treasury and. thus tn bring silver
into use ss an aid to gold. and in this
way To obviate the necessity OF any
further bond issue to maintain coin
redemptions. And rs a means Of sup
plying our people with Il currency we
propose to go back to the old system
that was followed by this government
during eighty years Of demscratic
rule, with open mints to the free COIN
age OF gold and silver, rs was our pol
icy prior to 1879. This will give us a
system OF currency that will be ade-
quate in volume. and stable, as COM
pared TO all other things. This we
propose TO do without tho aid or con-
sent Of any other nation. We insist
that our country is abun 1antly able
TO maintain u financial system OF it's
own. The republican party, in its st
Louis platform. c~oniesses that bimet-
Rllism is preferable to gold monomet.
allism, but demands the maintenance
OF the gold standard until interna-
tionsl agreement can be had looking
10 the establishment OF bimetallism
throughout the world. Tho people Of
the United States have become i'm.
patient mon the question OF ipterna-
tional bimetallism. For more thnn
twenty years the argument OF utter
national %hinietallism has doomed up to
.hwart the hopes Of the American peo-
pie upon this subject. II has been
interjected into every campaign and
been made a stumbling block 10 over,

Of silver by the American people.
They will no longer be fooled in this
way. We must either establish BIZ
metallism for ourselves or surrender

tho single gold standard for all time.

some Question. Abou. sn,cr.
To the Editors of the Outlook:

To the Editors Of the Outlook:
On the silver question l would like
to PROFOUND a few questions. which
are perhaps the kernel OF the argu-
ment wo offer:
l. Is it not true that IL two pro
ducts have precisely the same uses,
their relative value Commercial ratiol
will depend upon their relative avail
able quantities?
.. Is it not true that the silver and
gold available for coinage in the world
amounts to about four billions OF dol
lars Of each. coined mt the ratio Of
l5l1 to1?
Is il not true TINT for a period Of
seventy years, from 1909 TO 1873. the
ratio between gold and silver fiuctu-
ated very slightly. compared to the
fluctuations since 1873?
4. During TINT period were not
France md the United States coming
freely at u ratio not less than 10 to l
nor more than l6 to /?
.. During TINT period were not the
mints Of England closed against the
FREQ coinage or silver? las they are
today.
9. Admitting the statement first
made. is not the fall in the price Of
silver due to the destruction OF one OF
its uses. and not to its increased pro-
duction, compared with gold?
7. II all the world should demone-
tie goldtoday and make silvert the sole
legal tender. would an onnce OF gold
buy rs many ounces Of silver us it now
does?
8 II not. why not?
9. Will Il Mexican silver dollar not
buy just rs much Of any given list OF
commodities today as it would when
silver was worth 81 30 an ounce?
10. Will n gold dollar buy only rs
much'to-day rs it would ten or fifteen
years ago?
The above is IL defense. Now for
our attack.
IL. What rule Of honesty requires
the United States government to pay
gold for obligations calling for coin?
u. What rule Of honesty is vio-
lated il the dollar tender in payment
Of a debt will buy just us much rs
as the. dollar | borrowed?
IL. II taxes are not payable in
gold. and Il few men wish to corner
gold. where will the United States
Government get gold to pay ont
when paper is presented for redemp-
ton?
II. IL from the sale Of bondr. Just
aGout how long will this bond selling
continue. and how many billions 1T
debt will it load upon US?
10 II free coinage should bring n
flood OF silver to our shores. what will
become OF the silver after it is COIN
cd?
lG. II it is used to buy our COM
modities. will that make n panic? Did
any nation ever go to DISASTER because
it had too much specie?
II. The minc-owners are alleged
to he. making large contributions to
the campaign fund oi the Democrat
ic Populist party. | believe they are.
But what will it profit them il silver
does not 90 up?
Is. IL it does 90 up, who talks OF a
53-cent dollar?
