may be cut very narrow, and then If the
leg fails to fulfill the expectations of
the garment he becomes a pitiful spec
tacle. On the other hand If he takes the
bull courageously by the horns and has
the trousers made to tt the leg snugly
no matter how slender the leg may be,
lie paradeS the shortcomings of his un-
derpinnings before the eyes of an OBJ
servant world in the most glaring way.
Many men will thank the fates that
the bicycle fad preceded the skin tight
pants by year or two, as the pedal ex-
ercise has developed thousands of legs
to the proportions intended by nature
But there are scores of unfortunates who
have religiousiy ridden thousands of
miles for the single purpose of swelling
their calves to preSentable degree, yet
have failed.
1t has been some years since any radi-
cal change has been made in mems at
tire. but the winter of '96-'97 will make
amends. In 1880 all the dudes wore very
narrow trousers, and this fashion pre-
wide trousers. with the leg sharply
creased, came in, and this style prevail
ed until five years ago. Then the trou-
sers shrunk to q moderate size, and
there was no other change until this
fall. The fashionable dimensions now
at the ankle. In a couple Of months
these measurements will shrink to II
inches at the knee and 161s at the ankle.
This is the next thing to skin-ti tight
trousers for well-built man, and the
dudes, who invariably carry every fash
can be depended upon to shave off con-
siderably the figures just named.
AN EVENTFUL MEETING
The other day there was meeting on
Fifth avenue Of the important person
ages composing the Merchant Tail
ors' society. In fact, there we're
several meetings. all for the pur-
garments that the rest of the world must
car this winter. At the morning ses-
N watstcoats were discussed; at the
ternoon session the mighty intelects
the members concentrated upon frock
coats; at the night session the chairman
offered the problem of overcoats. Trou-
sers occupied the attention of the so
ciety at the morning session of the next
day, and as it was the most important
subject on the program, it also occupied
the afternoon session and a portion of
the evening session. 1t took three DAYS
I'd dispose of all the articles of dress,
and important changes were made all
along the line.
CAUSE OF THE CHANGES.
It was generally understood that the
business of tailors throughout the coun-
try had suffered because of the lack of
changes in mems attire during the past
half dozen years, and to infuse new life
1t was deemed expedent to make num-
ber of revolutions. Substantial prece +.
dent for such a course was not lacking
Less than twdmonths ago the Prince of
Wales was notified by committee ap-
pointed by silk workers that many Of
them were out of employment because
OF the stagnant condition of the native
silk trade. The prince has his own way
of giving boom to any waning indus
try, and 1t is Just as effective as the
methods of deep thinkers. He had a
dozen silk waistcoats made, all Of them

backs? They are not; then why should
the proposition to retire the greenbacks
be entertained by our people? Simply
because the government has the use OF
this $346, $1,000 without paying interest
thereon. II these notes were retired the
government would have to borrow the
money to do 1t and pay interest thereon.
In other words, to take out Of circula-
ton these $346,000,000 Of greenbacks it
will cost the government annually the
sum Of S17,300, 900 in interest at per cent.
Then what would be the result of such a
policy? 1t would divert from the United
States treasury these millions of dollars
into the pockets of those who are clam
oring for the government to retire these
greenbacks. Does any one believe that
this policy Is advocated in the interest
of sound money or honest government?
Let us for a moment realize what these
$346, ,000, 900 have saved to our country
in the way of interest in the last thirty
four years, vix.. S1,303, 3,57S,600. a sum
greater than all the gold and silver COM
bined of our country, and these govern
ment notes which have saved this
amount must be destroyed. This vast
sum would be added to our present in
debtedness in the form of interest-bear-
ing bonds. Had it not been for these
$346, 900, 900 of greenbacks these bonds
would now be held by those who say our
government must retire these green
backs and go out of banking. These
bonds now outstanding would be avail
able to assist in further tying the hands
Of the government and prevent 1t from
exercising it's functions as a government
in the issuance of its notes, and its right
to invest those notes with the debt-pay-
w,s<r 49, sole
walton as a nation to be taken from us
and these government notes retired to
further increase the indebtedness of
our country?
Is the government to issue what paper
money Is to be used as currency among
our people? Must we be compelled to
delegate that right to the national
banks? Why should our people lose this
great amount of money and give it to
the banks? Whoever pretended that
they had any claim of right thereto
No one. Then why do they endeavor to
get it? Simply because they have the
power. This power Is not confined to
the halls of congress alone. We find it
so strongly entrenched in our munich
pal affairs that we have not been per-
mitted to loan our city moneys, but are
compelled to pay it into the vaults of a
combination of banks, who loan it on
their own account and pocket the inter-
est, which rightfully belongs to the peo-
pie of the city. If we had been permitted
to receive the interest on the city money
for seven years since Mayor Hazard
caused it to be loaned it would have
netted the city by this time the snug
little sum of s215,209, allowing 5 per cent
interest, payable semi-annually, and es-
timating the yearly interest received to
have been s25,O00 per annum. low es-
innate, taking into consideration the in
crease in our population and consequent
! increase in our cash on hand. That we
may see how this same influence con-
trolls us, let us read from the Daily Her
aid of March Is, 1890, at the time the
mayor was making a vigorous fight to

Bicycle knickerbockers are now made
to fit like a glove. Getaways are very

The latter do not come within two inches
of the knee, while the fashionable frock
of last year extended below the knee.
Sack suits are mainly conspicuous by
reason of the size of the pockets in the
