BICYCLE COSTUMES.
They 0iye the Men as Much Concern as They
do the Women.

LONDON, England, November 90
According to the leading 'sartistic
decorators of the human model" the
evident fact that the bicycle has come
to stay and IS becoming popular in the
highest crusts Of society, may lead to
a revival next spring OF the old-time
masking costume of short tunic. velvet
knee breeches, black silk stockings aud
low shoes with silver buckles. The
regular ante-spring conference of the
tailUrs who set The fashions will be- held
early next month, and it is more than
probable that the fashion plates for
next seasons out Of door attire for
gentlemen will picture at least one suit
fashioned after the olden style In ques-
tion--now monopolized BY members Of
the privy council. Speaking on the
subject to-day a tailor of aristocratic
Piccadilly explained that the rough
tweed hnicket 6oosor suits Of the past
summer give the wearer a decidedly
outre appearance, and are hardly the
thing either for casual visit to the
club or for dropping-in call upon
family where a rider is to meet ladies.
Many have preferred TO ride in their
every y-day clothes with their trousers
fastened by clamp protectors, bnt even
this Is Objectionable to lovers of i'm
maculate apparel. Out Of these sug-
gestions has grown demand for .
high toned combination bicycle suit.

laughter.) The home market is
the best friend of the farmer. It
is his best market. 1t is his only
reliable market. It is his own
natural market. He should be
protected in its enjoyment by his
tariff legislation, and this home

Minneapolis Journal: The silver
people harp continually upon the
theory that gold has appreciated.
Now if the American workingman
gets more gold for his days work
than he did twenty-five or thirty
years ago, what kind Of argument
is it that gold has appr eciated!
Here are the averages for plaster.
ers, blacksmiths, blacksmith
helpers, painters, millwrlghts, car.
penteers, engineers, firemen, labor.
ers, machinists and watchmen:
The average days pay for this
class of labor in 1910 was 81 40,
taking the rate paid in 1850 as the
starting point. In 1850 it was
92.7. In 1860, as stated, 100, and
in 1890 1856. That is to say the
wage earner's daily wage IS worth
to him today nearly twice what it
was so years ago. He can stand
all the gold appreciation of that
kind that comes. Prices of manu-.
featured articles have undou btedly
declined, but this is because the
proc esses of manufacture have
cheapened, fact which the silver
advocate studiously ignores, as he
does most other facts.

J. The Populist is right in claim
ing that both metals have in
trinsic value, for their use in the
arts. The fact that they possess
intrinsic value is the only basis
they have for use as money. That
they have a.large relative amount
of lntrins'c'value in a small bulk
is what makes them appropriate
for use as money. That they fluc-
tuate in value according to supply
and demand makes itimpracticable
for any nation to attempt to use
both as standard, and so no ma
tion successfully does so today.
The Pop. says:
Now, gold and silver as money
is a creation of law. It's money
because the government says so,
and its value is statutory and not
intrinsic
How easy it is to glide from a
technical truth to the most errone-
Gus and vicious falsehood. It is
that claim that statutes can make
values that has at one time or an
other brought sorrow and financial
and business depression to almost
every nation. It is an enticing
proposition to have the govern
ment create values, and the fact
that a limited amount of money
can be kept in circulation with
gold at more than it's intrinsic
value is always urged by initiation
lists as proof that the government
creates the value, and that in.
trinsic value is unn ecessary in
money.
Every nation has some standard
Of money, and that standard
money has a full intrinsic value of
metal in it. The amount of metal
placed in the standard money de.
termines its value. The laws can.
not change the value Of 1922
grains Of gold, which make the
United States standard dollar.
That the ''dollar" has any value is
because 1922 grains of gold is Of
intrinsic value. Its "value" is
what it can be traded for, and no
statute can effect that; it is de.
termined by supply and demand of
gold and of the other commodity
for which it is traded.

dollar.
Both Morris and Towne We're
reasonable in the position they
took regarding the proposed joint
debates. Morris refused to take
part in any joint debate that
should not include discussion of
any issues involved in the cam.
paign; Towne refused to take part
in any joint debate that was not
confined to the financial question.
Consider the results of a joint de-.
bate on the financial question.
Morris could simply endeavor to
demonstrate that the retention Of
the gold standard would restore
confidence, but with even that he
would be forced to admit that it
would not result in opening the
factories and mills that were closed
by free trade, nor would it provide
for q revenue that would sustain
the government. He would be
practically forced to plead for a
continuation of the present laws, as
far as the lequestion under discus.
sion is concerned. There is a
unanimous demand for a change
in the oountry's condition, and
Morris and all Republicans believe
that a settlement of, the money
question is only one Of the neces.
sary steps. If Morris was not al
lowed, in his debates, to suggest a
remedy for the evils that afflict us,
his pleas against other evils that
might aff]ict us would not have
full force with his hearers.
Towne, if allowed to confne the
debate to finance, could promise
the people 'Fchange, and they
want change. The question is,
do the people need more Of the
same kind Of free trade and a
"change" to the 50.cent silver
dollar standard, or do they want
the same 1O0.cent dollar and a
'change'' to protection laws that
will open the mills and factories
and bring revenue enough to pay
the nations expenses and make
bond issues unnecessary. The Re-
publican party and it's candidates
promise something more than an
honest dollar; they promise the
people all opportunity to earn it.

A QUERY.

ton appears in the Herald:
A QUERY.
To THE EDITOR: I would like
to ask the Transcript a question.
Suppose that gold were placed in
the same position that silver is to-
day, in other words let gold be
demonetised, and let silver be
recognized by the greet nations as
the measure of credit. Would not
gold fuctuate in the market ac-
cording to supply and demand; in
other words would not gold be-
come commodity While it is
true that gold is a precious metal, ,
isn't it true that it's only intrinsic
value is when it is used in the arts!
Has not silver the same intrinsic
value? Now, gold or silver as
money is a creation of law. It's
money because the government
says SO, and value is statutory and
not intrinsic,
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
In stamping coin the govern
ment gives it no value. 1t simply
certifies that the coin is of certain
weight and fneness, and the
amount of metal in the coin is
what glyes it the value. That
weight of metal has a value, and
it's value is the same whether
stamped by the government or
When it is stamped by the govern
not. When it is stamped by
the government the man who
receives it or paws it out does so
with confidence that it is of ex.
actly the weight the government
stamp indicates.
These facts relate to metallic
money, of which there is free and
unlimited coinage. In any nation
having free and unlimited coinage
Of any metal the stamped coin is
of just the same value as an equal
amount of the same metal in bull.
ion form. The reason is very plain;
as the metal will be stamped into
the coin without cost by the gov
eminent.
The Populist who asks the ques-
tions and signs himself as silver
Republican is right in assuming
that If we were on silver standard
gold would ''fluctuate'' in the
market according to supply and
demand. Whether the country is
on gold standard, silver standard
or copper standard, all these metals
will fluctuate in the market accord.
Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1896-09-04

As has been before noted the
Herald is making very groggy
fight for the free silver insanity
that! it doesn't believe in. This
week 1t continues it's Mexican
money discussion with as little
regard for facts as for it's real
convictions on the money ques.
tion. The Herald had declared
that. the difference between the
United States and Mexican silver
dollar was the difference between
the United States and Mexico.
The Transcript suggested that the
same difference was not apparent
betwe len the United States and
Mexican ten dollar gold coins.
The Herald then says:
"As usual the Transcript doesn't
know what it's talking abou5.
The Mexican ten-peso gold piece
contains 23.6813 grammes of fine
gold; the American eagle contains
15.O4& grammes Of fine geld, quite
a difference"
Your weighing scales are de.
ceiving you as badly as are the
scales on your eyes, Mr.. Herald.
The Mexican $40 Q0-peso) gold
coin contains 14.S054 grammes, or
22s.477 grains of fine gold; the
the United States $40 gold piece
contains, as you say, 15.0464
grammes, or 1922 grains, of fine
gold. The Mexican gold piece is
worth $9.s314 in United States
money because it contains metal
of that value. The Mexican silver
dollar is worth about So cents in
American money, because the
metal it contains is. worth that
much. As we remarked before, if
the difference between the Mexi-
can and United States dollar is the
difference between Mexico and the
United States, it is strange that a
similar differenc is not apparent
between the Mexican and United
States $40 gold pieces. The
wonderful statutory power seems
to lack expression when a free
coined metal money is considered.

F. IF the Democrats should succeed
in making dollars out of values
that are now only 50 cents, they
would soon have a contest with
the Populists who can see no
need Of any real value in the dol
lar. What the government says is
q "dollar" is a dollar" and the
government has full power to
place as little or as much value in
it as it pleases. The government
can make one grain of copper a
dollar" and a dollar would then
be worth one grain of copper. All
the rest of the world might call us
.chumps for doing so, but this great
republic has reserved the right to
make chump Of itself. That it
has the right, is no reason for it's
doing so.
