IT WOULD MEAN RUIN,
Democratic Success Would Bring Wide
 spread Ruin.


 spread Ruin.
 Altogether, the general uneasiness in business circles caused by the fear of democratic success is becoming rather alarming. The bold reserve is falling. As we write, it is ten millions of dollars below the hundred-million mark. Yet there was shipped on the day before only about a quarter of q million. This would seem to show that all of the gold is not going to Europe, but that it is being hoarded by the people of our own country. There are other facts which would seem to prove that this is true. Never in the history of the two safe deposit companies in San Francisco has there been such rush for boxes as during the past few weeks. This is @ curious community. The people of Cal ifornia are exceedingly prone to specu- late in all sorts of gambling schemes such as wildcat mining stocks. On the other hand, they are extremely suscep- tible to financial Impressions. In 1893, when the democratic panic was at it's worst, the bankers of this city said that the safe deposit boxes were filled with coin. It is their belief that a similar movement is in progress now.
 We all have a very vivid recollection of the panic of 1893. It was difficult to borrow anything in San Francisco then without 2O-dollar gold-pieces as secu- rity. That was one of the results of democratic success. We have had three years of depression from democratic panic. At the mere threat of demo. cratic domination for another four years, people are buttoning up their pockets. hoarding money in stockings, locking it up in safe-deposit boxes, and brokers are shipping gold out of the country to pay foreign sellers of Amcri- can securities. All of this as result merely of threat of democratic success. What would result if that party should actually be successful at the polls? It is our belief that a wild dpanic would en- sue beside which the panic of '93 would seem like a zephyr as contrasted with a cyclone. It is our deliberate conviction that democratic success next November would mean widespread and devastating ruin.-San Francisco Argonaut.

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPLES.
The Doctrines of Mckinley and Bryan
 Side by Side.


 Side by Side.
 This is the policy that Bryan is asking the honest men of the United States 70 vote for:
 "We demand the free and unlimited con- age of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of sixteen to one, without wait ing for the aid or consent of any other na- tion. We demand that the standard sil- yer dollar shall be a full legal tender. equal ly with gold. for all debts, public and pri- vate, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization 'f any kind of legal tender money by pri- vate contract"
 And this is the statement of princi- pies to which Mckinley adheres:
 "We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency pr impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the free coinage If silver, except by national agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pedge ourselves to pro- note; and, until such agreement can be ob- tained, the existing gold standard must be preserved
 The Chicago platform means that the ,avings banks and the insurance con- oanies may pay 53 cents to every poor nan who has claim upon them. The St. Louis platform means that, as now. lnder the existing gold standard, every 1ollar which the laborer receives for 1is work, the farmer receives for his wheat, and the thrifty man pays for in- 'urance orputs in the bank, is worth 100 cents. so shall every dollar received or paid out by them in the future be worth .Oo cents in every market in the world. Every man who wishes to do justice and o receive justice must vote for McKin- tey.-N, Y, Tribune.

PROMISES OF FREE slLvERITEs.
A Sop Thrown Out to Catch All Kinds of
 Votes.

A Sop Thrown Out to Catch All Kinds of Votes.
 Senator Thurston coupled neatly in his speech at Madison the two promises of the free silverites. One of these promises is that the free coinage of their favorite metal at the ratio of six teen to one will give the farmer higher prices for all his products. The other is that it will make silver worth. 129 cents an ounce all over the world. , According to Bland the silver bullion in dollar is worth about 54 cents. Free sil- yer coinage would raise the price of silver to l29 cents an ounce, and the silVerin an American dollar would be worth one dol lar in gold the world over, even without a government stamp on 1t.
 But if free coinage is going to make the silver dollar intrinsically as valua- ble as that gold coin which Altgeld calls a 2OO-cent dollar, how is the farmer go- ing to get higher price for his wheat and corn and the planter for his cot ton? The free coinage dollars being of the same value as the gold dollars will buy just as much of all products as they do and prices will be as low as they are.
 Senator Thurston states the case thus: . My countrymen, did you ever stop to think that If the free coinage of silver will bring silver bullion back to its old-time price there will be none of this increase in the price of products, none of this increase in price of labor that they promised on the other side? This Is exactly true-that every promise they make to the people of this country of rise in values. of more per bushel for wheat or more dollars per day for men, is a promise based upon the the new dollar of silver coinage, will be less than the present dollar of the country in which We live"
 The free silvcrites make these two ir- reconcilable promises, but they are ad- dressed to different constituencies. The promise that silver will double in value is intended for Rocky mountain consumption. The mine-owners like to hear that talk. Free coinage, with the gold value of silver bullion remain ing unchanged, would not benefit them particularly, except so far as it gave them cheaper dollars with which to pay their debts.
 The promise of higher prices is to tickle the farmers and make them be- iieve their crops will be worth more to them under free coinage law.
 There is third promise, however, which Senator Thurston did not mem tion. That is the promise of "cheap money" That is intended to attract all men who owe money and who are rather desirous to cheat their creditors. Those men are not told that free coin age will make silver worth 129 cents an ounce, but that the price will remain what it is.
 They do not want silver to advance in price. They want cheap dollars which will go just as far in the payment of debts as the present 1OO-cent dollar will go.-Chicago Tribune.

HOW TO CLEAN SILK.
A Process Which Win Prove Successful
 in Most Cases.

A Process Which Win Prove Successful
 in Most Cases.
 The cleaning of silk is Q much more difficult tn ng than the cleaning of wool. There are few cloths of pure wool which cannot be washed with white soap and water. The process of cleaning the cloth with soap bark is much more thorough than any ordi- nary wa shing with soap and water can be. Silk of ordinary weaves cannot be washed successfully without losing lus- ter and Changing color. The dyes of silk are not made so as to be color proof, as cotton goods usually are. There is no special effort on the part of silk colorists to do anything but pre- pare goods that will not fade in the light and under the ordinary circum- stances. to which silk is subjected. There are some delicate colors that will not stand cleaning. The majority of silks may be cleaned by the process given, otherwise they may be consid- cred beyond cleaning. Lay the pieces of silk on pad made of linen. The fold of white linen sheet will do very we'll. Stretch the silk on the pad, and if it is greasy remove the grease spots with piece of cotton dipped in re- fined gasoline CT benzine, the name under which gasoline is often sold by druggists. Clean the silk in this way on both sides. Do not wet it, but moisten the cleaning pad of cotton often with the liquid. After the proc ess take fresh pad of linen and lay the silk over it and sponge it we'll with a mixture of half rain water and half alcohol. Rinse this off with clear rain water, drying it carefully with linen so as to absorb all the moisture you can. Turn the silk on the wrong side, lay a cloth over it and press it very carefully. If it is very delicate silk it can sometimes be dried on the board without applying heat.-N. Y. Tribune.

Chcapn ess of Silver.

In 1873 the total product of silver in the world was 61,1OO,OOO ounces and the silver in dollar was worth $1.O4 in gold. Last year the worlds product of silver was 65,OOO,OOO ounces and the silver in dollar was worth only 50 7-1O cents. In 1894 the potato crop of the United States was, in round numbers, l'o'ooo'OOO bushels and the average price B cents. In 1895 the estimated potato crop was 400, 100000 bushels and
 the average price was 26 cents. The fall in both cases was due to the same cause. But when the farmers potatoes fall to half the former price, how much good
 will it do him to compel him to take silver dollars for them worth only 50 cents each? That brings the 26 cents down to 13 cents.-N. Y. Times-Herald.

 DUnder free coinage regime the government would cease redeeming its notes in gold and begin rcdeeming them in 53-cent dollars. If that is not re. pudiation of governmental obliga- ton, what is?-Chicago Times-Herald,
 DIt is the per capita purchasing power and not the per capita money supply which makes prosperous times. The man who gets ten dear dollars a week can buy more bread and meat than the man who gets ten cheap dol lars. Have the farmer free silver ad- vocates ever thought of that?-Kansas City Star.
 DNo democrat who is sincerely in favor of 'sound money" ought to conn plain because republicans are not wholly willing to drop the tariff. The question of protection will hold many men in line for "sound money" the end we are all striving at. Besides, the revenues of the government have not been such as to warrant satisfaction with the existing tariff.-Dcs Moines Register.

Expensive Brussels curtains had better be cleaned by regular French scourer who understands how to handle real lace.
 Before touching the curtains make a strong soapsuds of hot water in which a tablespoonful of borax has been dis solved for every gallon of water, and half a bar of soap shaved and melted for every tubful of water.

THE FARMERS. VOTE.
It VIII Be for Markets and Not for Fifty
 Cent Dollars.

| IB l Cent Dollars.
 There are multiplying evidences that the assumption which has given the popocrats so much comfort, to the eff feet that the farmers are for free sil- yer, is based upon erroneous informa- ton.
 It has been claimed that the con- gressional contest down in the Eight eenth Illinois district, in which Hadley, l sound money candidate, defeated Lane, q free silverite, was not a fair test Of the sentiment of the agriculturists on the currency question. Interviews with | legitimate farmers from all over the state by Chicago meat packers and commission merchants, however, fur nish facts that will be q revelation to the popocrats, and go far toward con- firming the deductions made from the verdict in the Eighteenth district. h. vestigations by Chicago packers, who buy directly from the farmers and stock raisers, indicate that those who are ac- tually engaged in farming as business are almost unanimous for Mckinley and for the maintenance of the present standard for the measure of values. If this is true it means that the cause of honest money will win sweeping victory in Illinois, for the only cause of apprehension among sound money champions has been the apparent un- certainty as to the attitude of the farm CTS on this question. If the rural pop ulation of Illinois is for sound money nothing can defeat it, for the wage earners in the big cities, who have nothing to sell but their labor, are al- ready satisfied that there is nothing in free silver at sixteen to one for them.
 Even with as large a city as Chicago, within its limits the rural population outvotes the city population by 100000 or more. In 1894 the total vote cast by all parties in cities of 5000 and over in Illinois was 3sO,257. The total vote cast that year was 0,26G, leaving 479,- GOT, which was cast by the farmers and the inhabitants of the smaller towns and villages, who are nearly al- ways closely identified with agricultu- ral pursuits and who constitute the backbone of the commonwealth moral ly and intellectually.
 The farmers are beginning to realize that what they need is not a larger cir culating medium, consisting largely of a debased currency, but a larger and better market for their products. This can only be secured by the Mckinley policy of protection, which enlarges the home market by stimulating the devel- opment of industries that build up new communities of wage earners, who con sume breadstuffs, and by the restora- tion of reciprocity, which sent millions of barrels of flour to Cuba and other countries and opened the ports of Flu rope to our meat products.
 The farmers will vote for markets for their products and not for 5O-cent dol lars.-Chicago Times-Herald.

..us Papers, in Fair Weather and Foul,
 to Educate Her Children.
 "The pioneer woman newspaper ven- ,,r of Chicago is the unique distinc- t;nr claimed by Mrs. Susan Freds, whose hair has been whitened by the passing of 60 years. .,
 Al the busiest, windiest, coldest corner in Chicago she has stood every weekday for four years selling her pa rers 50 can educate my children" as unexplained to kindly, but inquisitive nurchaser. No matter how indictment inc day she is always there where the Masonic temple, with its thousands of tenants, frowns upon its hundreds of thousands of passers-by.
 Few soldiers of the civil war, says the Chicago News, endured more vigorous weather than has she. She has been scorched by the summers heat and ,pinched by the winters cold, and re- peatcdly have her fingers been frost bitten while making change. For two years she took her place in line in newspaper alley" and, buying her stock of papers, carried them to her corner. State and Randolph streets, there to sell them. Now women or girls ire not allowed in the alley, so they are supplied by boy, whom they pay for the service. It was bitter fight when she began her unique occupation. The boys fiercely resented the invasion of their territory. Every persecution their fertile minds could invent was heaped on the defenseless woman.
 ''Not that I blame them, for selling papers isn't the proper work for girls or women, but what else can l do?" she inouires anxiously. "I am too old to sew, though that was my trade when I was a girl; I cant go out to service even if could get place, for have to keep house for my three children, and in this way can do my homework and also earn our bread, clothes and rent"
 There is something inexpressibly pathetic in the sight of this aged woman standing in a storm selling pa- pers Her face is as tender as any grandmother sitting by sheltered fireside and her manner is as quiet and gentle as a Quaker's. She numbers among her patrons many of the best people in the city. who go out of their way to patronize her. Ladies in their carriages, pedestrians and wheelmen drop their pennies into her toil-hard-
