The price of genuine chinchilla skins
is exceedingly high, so high, that only
single skins are to be had at all. A

The novelty of the season is the COM
bination of chamois leather, in all coli
ors and even embroidered, with long
haired furs. Wonderfully effective de-
signs are shown.
A general view of the fur trade this
fall shows an increasing love of COM
binations and great variety of form.
Furs are combined with each other,
with feathers, ribbon and lace, and
some of the more recent effects are in
gold or soutache embroideries.
Bison seal has made place for itself
in public opinion and is no longer re-

facts Concerning FLOODING the Country
with the Worlds Silver"

facts Concerning .'EIooding the Country
with the Worlds Silver"
Our adversaries, says Gen. j. L.
Weaver, in the CLautauquan, tell US
that If we succeed we shall be mum
dated with cheap silver from every ma
tIon under heaven, gold will leave our
shores, and we shall be ruined. But
the writer is panied to know that
neither the silver standard people nor
the double standard folk can spare
their silver for shipment TO this coun-
try. Ii they ship it hither what will
they use at home? They have but a
trifing per capita circulation now, and
nearly billion of these people have no
gold at all. The writer o2@s sssT Ss!.ai
dire calamity, the departure of gold,
oyertake this country. During four
years of war and IA years of succeeding
peace gold refused to circulate and was
kept for sale. Boys were born during
this suspension of specie payments
and reached military age. They grew
to be handsome, stalwart, respectable
young fellows without ever seeing a
coin dollar. The people cared bat lit
tie for specie. The greenback met
every want and the people were fully
employed, prosperous and happy. All
our troubles have come upon us since we
closed the minis against silver, adopted
the policy of contraction and started on
our insane hunt for gold. Conditions
will continue TO grow more and more
deplorable until we call n halt, about
face. and retrace our steps.
But let us inquire how much silver
there is in the world. If it is all likely
to come hither we should setNour house
in readiness for the tidal wave All
authorities concur in placing the
amount at a fraction over $4,000, OOO, OOO
consisting of coin and bullion available
for coinage. This is the worlds supply
of siiTer, and it includes our own stock
as we'll as that in other parts of the
world. Now suppose the inundation
should really come. After every pen
ny's worth of silver has reached our
shores we will then have here four bill
lions seeking coinage and investment
We have 100000 people. This would
give us not more than SIS per capita
of silver for our present population. 1t
is highly probable that there are advo-
Gates of the single gold standard resid-
ing even in the middle and eastern
states who would be reckless enough to
accept their distributive share without
a murmur
