No Belt Required for the Peerless
Bicycle Pant.

Our Bicycle and Golf Pants are re-
ceiving great favor with all who have
used them
Riders will note the advantage of
our watch pockets placed under the
fold of the pant, which makes it i'm
possible for the watch to work out.
All our pants are with reinforced
seats and are taped throughout. No
seams to chafe.
The steady increase in the sale of
Bicycle Clothing has brought about
many improvements. one of which is
the Peerless Bicycle Pant, Patented
June 6, 1S93.'' The invention does
away with belt entirely The inn
provement consists of an adjustable
rubber attachment which is fastened
to each side of the pant at the hip,
and is of sufficient elasticity to allow
the body to bend easily in any direc-
tion without in the least distressing
the rider, at the same time holding the
pant in position. The adjustment
gives the rider perfect ease, absolute
comfort, and freedom to all muscular
action.
Every one who has ridden at all is
familiar with the fact that the ord-
nary pant for bicycle wear, worn with
a belt, is continually dropping and get
ting out of place, and in all cases dis
tressing the rider, many of whom can
not wear belt with comfort. The
distinctive features embraced here are
that there is no belt and no fly. fea-
lures which recommend themselves to
every one who is at all familiar with
the exercise. Thousands of riders of
the wheel who are wearing the Peer
less Pants consider. .thern the most per-
feet in fit for comfort and ease.

WORDS OF WARNING
\ Great European Authority Talks OF the
Silver Movement

Great European Authority Ialks OF the
Silver Movement
LONDON. November 9-The Vienna
correspondent of the Times says
professor Sues. the greatest Of Euro
peau authorities on the question, writes
letter to Neues Wener Tageblatt en-
tircd. "A Word of Warning to Europe's
Diplomacy.' Prof. Suez agrees with the
English Bimetallist League that Mr.. No
Klnley's election involves a triumph for
international bimetallism over national
bimetallsm. but he regards Mr. Bryan's
defeat as fortunate for the United States
and for the Intercourse Of the world in
general. Free silver, he thinks. would
have driven all gold out of America, and
the Introduction Of any exclusively silver
currency in the United States would have
been inevitable for an indefinite period.
This would have divided the world into
two camps. one the great silver field.
comprising the whole of America and
the whole of Asia. and the other the gold
area. including Europe and portions Of
Africa and Australia.
Prof. Suezs says that IL is puerile 10
consider such questions i'm the light Of
gains and losses Of mine owners. and that
il is equally puerile to consider that the
election has solved the silver question
either for America or for the rest Of the
world. Recent events. on the contrary.
he thinks. have proved the existence OF a
general feeling, that the injustice by which
creditors benefit and which proceeds from
existing conditions Of the coinage is even
assuming large proportions.
"The bimetalHc movement in Europe
is extending says Prof. Sues. gold coin
age has twice brought us i'm recent years
TO the verge of universal crisis. First,
seven years ago. when gold production
was stagnant till the discovery Of the
South African gold field, and. second. the
Bryan agitation
prof. Sues concludes with the express
sion of his opinion that Europes hailing
lrr. Mckinney whose tariffs injured for
eign interests. is not very dienided. and
that they should rather earnestly con-
slider whether it is not their duty TO re-
liave the world of a state of affairs so full
OF danger"
An editorial i'm the Times. based on
6isnatch from New York warns Europe
not to expect Mr.. Mckinley to allow his
protectionist views to fall into allegiance.
but fl considers that the passage Of new
tariff bin is uncertain and remote and
thinks that there is likely enough 70 be
renewed attempts on the part Of the
United States government to push forward
"a scheme of international bimetallism;
because" says the Times. 1T is obvi-
ouslv Americas interest to do something
for silver
The Times also says. with reference to
the assertions Of Prof. Sues, the Aus
trian expert:
Prof. Sues assumptions about the IN
Justice Of the maintenance Of the gold
standard have been already materially
routed many times
