Cash or Credit.

''Why should a man receive a bonus
when he gets things charged instead of
paying cash2'' asked a New Yorker of an
inquiring; mind. If pay my bill regu-
larly every day at the restaurant frequent
q good deal, no notice is taken of it, al
though in buying goods I would probably
get 10 per cent off for cash Yet if 1 let
an account run for a week, as a matter of
convenience to myself, the proprietor al
most invariably offers to treat me when I
pay up.
''Now, if always paid at the end Of a
week, and accepted his offer every time, 1
would get SO drinks a year for nothing
At the rate Of 10 cents drink this would
amount to 81. 8Oi In addition the restau-
rant keeper runs the chance of not being
paid for perhaps an entire weeks board
Now, why should he pay premium Of
nearly IS a year to run this chance Sup
posing he does it in the case of 100 custom
ers, he pays $3.50 for the risk of getting
cheated, and the risk must often become

The friends of peace and arbitration are
grntified to know that the annual meet
last week In Mystic, Conn.,, WAS OF such
an encouraging nature, both in regard to
the numbers present and the interest
manifested in subjects presented.
The meeting this year was one of
special interest; among other reasons on
account of its being held for the first
time In what has been designated as the
"Peace Temple"
Rhode Islanders are greatly reioiced to
know that one OF its late citizens, Levi

founder and for nearly thirty year the
president OF the Rhode Island Radical
Peace Society. as we'll as an influential
mem ber OF the Universal Peace Union,
was one OF the largest co ltributors TO the
sum required for the erection of the tenn
pie
II was the privilege as we'll as pleas

dedication. They are much gratified to
learn fsom remarks made on the oc.

ouly in what he aided 10 accomplish in
the erection CT the temple, but in oil
similar work for the sdva ncement and
benefit OF humanity.
Many OF his friends aud associates

felt that, although they could not enjoy

eyed to "lcave felicity whlle," rest

WHEN silver dropped from 6sl2 cents
an ounce TO GO cents an ounce the Mexi-
can silver dollar lost in purchasing power
nearly 2 cents. Within three years the
Mexican silver dollar has been worth as
little "a As cents and as much as 20 cents.
Our American silver dollars do not vary
with the market. They are always worth
100 cents because the government Is
pledged to maintain them at that value
and is known to be able TO keep its
pledge, to maintain the parity and bi-
metallism with a limited silver coinage.
Labor receives in this country in wages in
year 1900, coo, 600. II these wages had
been paid in silver this year with unlimit-
ed coinage and no responsibility OF govern
ment to maintain its value the loss in the
price OF silver in the past six months
would have cut the value OF these wages
down by s1Qo, 600, 900, a tax on labor one
fifth as large as tnat of the cost OF the
Federal government for year.

THE JOYOUS SEASON OF THE LET
TER "R.n

The first month with the "R' in its
name opens today and the juicy oyster
is with us once again.
The civilized world loves the oyster.
1t is eaten all over this broad land OF
ours, but nowhere is il so fresh and sweet
and tootbsome as right here in blessed
New England. Out In the unfortunate
West they eat their oysters from cans or
. from barrels OF ice. On the Pacific
Coast they have what they call an oyster
but II is shrivelled, iaundicy-look ing
bit of gristle, no moro like the palatahle
product Of the mud along the New Eng
land coast than a piece of shoe leather is
like beechnut ham. The Pacific Coast
people prefer the barrelled oysters,
which, taken from the ice and drowned
with vinegar and tomato sauce may be
somewhat enjoyed though they are a
week old at least before reaching the ta-
bic. Enlgand eats our oysters, too, like
