The Grand Army Of Creditors.

The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing 80 cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state of the
Union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are:
All persons who work for wages, sal
airy or by the piece
All members of building AID loan
associations.
All depositors in savings, national,
state or private banks.
All holders of life fire aud accident
insurance policies.
All members of benevolent and fra.
ternal insurance orders.
All holders of industrial insurance.
All widows, orphans or wards de.
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from Investments.
All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly or in part up
on the income of their endowments.
In fact. the so cent silver dollar
would be of advantage to few persons
In the long run save the spectators.

fluctuations in its purchasing power and

of commerce and idleness of millions OF
workers who now buy farm products.
How will the 16 to | scheme benefit
the working classes? By making them
pay twice as much for everything they
buy, while giving them little or no in
crease in wages. 1t will also confiscate
half of their savings bank deposits.
What is IA silver mine owner? a good,
kind. unselfish citizen, who doesn't
want higher prices of silver SO that he
will get rich, but simply because he
loves his fellow man.
Does his love for the workers lead
him to pay more than market rates for
his labor? Not much. Business and
sentiment are two different things. Be.
sides he doesn't have to.
What is sound currency? Dollars
with 80 cents worth Of silver and so
cents worth of fiat or paper dollars all
fiat.
What is the chief duty of good citi.
zen? To hate everybody who is indus.
trious and thrifty, and to meekly swal-
low all the nostrums of the cheap money
office seekers.
How can the people be made prosper
Gus? BY setting class against class; dis
couraging the investment of capital ;
contracting the currency by running EN-
ployers, driving out gold and over
throwing our sound financial system. -

"DEAR, YOU'RE so TALLlp
The Way tho Small Girl Makes the Zig
Man Vain.


The short girl has many advantages over
the tall one. She has to go through life
looking up, end nothing is so becoming to
eyes as that. Her lashes show more and SO
does her hair. There are curves Of cheek,
chin and throat that look their prettiest to
man who must glance down at them.
A small girl Is more easily held and
more easily kissed 1t is nicer to have to
lift her face up by the chin, and it is moro
epicurean and satisfactory TO reach down
To the upturned lips.
1t is comfortable, when you hold a girl
on your knee, 70 have her head just come
to your shoulder instead Of having it hang
over-surplus, as 1t were. Everything
about small girl Is likely to be u provoca-
tion-the unexpectedly tiny hand, the dis
tracing morssls of feet, the little head,
the little nose.
A small girl can be fascinating even In
a temper. She can be so delicious when
she cries, she can be 50 lovely when she
pouts, and none OF these moods sits well on
big woman. Then, too, the man in love
Is inclined to pet names, and he wants to
call his girl "Birdy," whether she weighs
900 or not. Yet he Is not insensible to tho
appropriateness OF the title when given u
real little thing.
A man likes to feel big, by comparison
at least A really large man does not OBJ
ject to seeming almost giant beside the
girl Of his heart, and 1t is almost necessary
to the short mans vanity that he shall
seem big to the little creature Inc is going
to marry.
1t Is very fetching to have ones girl say,
"Please, dear, my neck gets so tired;
you're 50 tall" Don't you know what
that means Well, get bit of girl and
you will find out. On the whole, the small
girl has the best of it.-Kansas City Star.

Other News.

Standard Oil company tank boat No.
40, was at the company dock yesterday
discharging a cargo OF 1900 barrels OF
oil. The boat is built expressly for
carrying oil and is marvel OF conven-
fence. She Is built OF steel throughout
and contains eight storage tanks, her ca
pacity being 5000 barrels. She has her
own pumps which are powerful affairs
and send the cargo flying up into the big
tank. Between the engine and boiler
room and the tanks is water compart-
ment six feet thick for protection. The
spars number two and the forward one
is used for smoke stack. She was towed
here by an ore boat bound for Port
Arthur. On the up trip after passing the
locks at the 500 the No. 76 was Just be-
hind a strange steamer also bound up.
For joke some OF the crew threw oil
onto the fires and the result was a dense
smoke coming out OF the forward spar.
The captain OF the steamer seeing smoke
coming in such quantity from a sailing
vessel naturally thought she was on fire
and Immediately put on all steam to get
out OF the way.
The Standard Oil company has an
other boat on the lakes, the No. 70.
There is in building much larger boat
which will take care of the lake trade
when Nos. Is and rs will be taken up the
st. Lawrence out into the ocean and
used in the Atlantic coast trade.

tender quality and the policy Of the
government to make il exchangeable for

In asking this unfair and dishonest
advantage for silver Mr.. Teller there
fore demands unequal treatment for the
metals And as free coinage of either
metal at false ratio has everywhere
and always driven the more valuable
coin out of circulation. it would inevi-
tably precipitate this country to silver
basis, making silver the only money Of
redemption and silver or silver notes the
only money in use
The free coinage men are therefore
not bimetallists, but silver monometal-
lists. They are contractionists They
would make money scarcer instead OF
more plentiful, poorer instead of better.
