INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

The disposition to saddle response
bility on the government for individual
reverses in business is all wrong. 1t is
too common entirely to hear men who
are hard pressed by their own obliga-
lions. deride public authorities, when,
in fact, the laws have nothing what
ever to do with it. 1t is cowardly
version, to say the least, for those who
have voluntarily gone into debt. to
expect some fortuitous turn in politi-
cal matters, or some special legislation
to left them out. The time to count
the force Of an obligation is before CIV
ing it. Anyone who contracts a debt
without a fair and reasonable provision
for its payment in advance puts him.
self in position which involves no
responsibility from any other quarter,
and he should face the music when pay
day comes around.
If the demonstration Of silver was
the cause of depreciation in values
there might be just ground for COM
plant touching all debts contracted
prior to 1873. 1t would reduce the
debtors ability to pay in the ratio of
decline in the value of assets or re-
sources, but how many private Obliga-
lions were given prior to that date?
Practically none. Every dollar worth
Of commercial or mortgage paper now
in existence was made with full
knowledge of the uses and abuses of
the gold standard The man who
would be fair both to himself and his
creditor will take the responsibility on
himself and profit, as best he may, from
the experience He will also give up
the habit of making excuses other than
those which begin and end with his
own act.
The government is not founded upon
philanthropy. Should it undertake to
discharge pirate debts it would soon be
in a receivers hands. 1t Is of vital
importance to every citizen that its
credit should be maintained, and it is
the patriotic duty of all to hold up
rather than weaken its resources.
Common sense, common fairness and
common honesty are qualities NO less
desirable in these days of business de
preston than in times of general pros
perity.

cial robbery and mismanagement in
that empire, will probably never be
told. All the world knows of the Brit
ish outrage in India has leaked out
through English officials. The author
of life in the Mofussil" speaks with
indignation of the high handed rob
berry OF the English tax gather in some
of the districts Of that country, who
must pay and pay without any return
in the way of protection to life or prop
erty.
Since the fall in the gold-value of
silver this abuse has grown distinctly
worse. Not only has the civil and mill
tary establishment to be maintained at
the expense Of a people Of whom one
fifth are hungry the year round, but
great sums in gold have to be paid to
midas creditors in London. As the
country has no gold, the debt must be
met by the export Of produce or the
sale of drafts on the Calcutta treasury,
and with every depreciation of silver
the price of both drafts and produce
falls equally. Hence the recurrence
Of heavy deficits in the Indian ac-
counts, and the starvation OF public
works il the provinces in order to
keep these deficits within bounds.

often asked. whether all of the paper
currency of the country Is redeemable
in gold. 1t is not. National bank
notes are not, and treasury notes are
not, nor are silver certificates. The
parity of the silver dollar and its repre-
sentative. the silver certificate, is main
tanned by their legal tender qualities.
A silver certificate is as good as silver
dollar, a silver dollar Is as good as a
treasury note or a national bank note,
a national bank note and treasury note
are as good as a greenback, and green
hacks were made payable in gold by
the resumption act 1t is in order TO
maintain this parity and TO keep silver
and paper dollars as good as gold that
the treasury reserve Of gold is accumu-
lated and held against emergent occa-
sion.
The whole currency question and the
relative standing of gold, silver, coin
and bills might be stated in this way:
GreenbackS" were made redeemable
in gold by the act Of resumption when
presented at United States sub-treas-
uries.
Treasury notes" are redeemable ''in
coin"
'Silver certificates" are redeemable
in silver dollars.
National bank notes are redeemable
in lawful money!. e., greenbacks.

1T Is AN ISSUE.

The Democratic policy Is TO ignore
the tariff entirely. Considering their
inability to defend their record on this
question it may be considered a sharp
dodge, but luckily they are not the
court that is to determine what shall
be discussed. The higher tribunal
the people-have decided to make it an
issue, and the cowardy silence Of Dem
ocratic spakers will be interpreted as
an admission of the truth of all that
has been charged up to the party by
their aSSailantS. The object lessons
on Democratic tariff reform are very
much in evidence all over the country.
The empty chimneys, the silent FORCES
and noiSeless spindles, the bankrupt
wool growers and the stranded mer-
chant all tel 1.-The story of the much
heralded attempt Of the last congress TO
reform the tariff. The Incident re-
minds the writer OF 3 prodigal young
man who returned To his native city
protesting that he had forgotten his
past miSdeeds, and resolving to 'brace
up and be a man. Unfortunately
there were sufferers from his forgeries
who had not for gotten his lapSes from
the path Of honor and he was held TO
account SO this maynard cabal of
Democratic anagers and leaders will be
held responsible al the polls. Let them
proceed with their owliSh silence on the
tariff. and their ear-splitting howl
about silver and see where they Will
fetch UP. The people are not fools, to
I be huffered and kicked about by a few
blowers and strikers who presume to
furnish the issues Of the campaign.
Saran might ignore his record and howl
his virtues AT the portals of heaven but
st Peter would, at least require him TO
stay out and serve q reasonable day
OF probation.

THE BICYCLE WAIST.

The bicycle is evolutionizing woman
and revolutionizing her dress. Whether
it is true or not that the song writer
rules his people, it is unquestionably
true that fashion rules women. The
bicycle fad is modifying the fashion of
dress. The woman who couldn't run
a sewing machine for single hour
without exhaustion, can pump the
pedals of wheel for half a day at a
time. But skirts and under garments
had to be modified. Now an item is
flashed over the cable to these shores
from Paris that the present corset and
