The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1896-10-12

Mr.. Wilhelm has repeatedly stated that
he was willing to meet any man on the
stump and defend his position on the inan-
cial question; but when his challenge was
accepted by Mr.. Loesscr, of Minersyille, Will
helm nunked. We propose to offer him an
opportunity to air his boast,d knowledge of
finance, and trust we wiz meet with better
success than our Minersyillc friend. One of
the claims Of the free silver advocates in this
town is that they are handicapped because
there is no newspaper having circulation
above one or two hundred that is advocat-
ing their cause. Now we propose giving
their champion the benefit of the HERALD's
columus-thus reaching thousands OF voters
to prove several statements made in hi,

PACKING ONES CLOTHES.
Done Properly, 1t Means Little Labor
and No Wrinkles,

The marvel of packing clothes is
that it is SO simple, says writer in
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. When
you see for the first time profession
al French packer put up your best
gowns, you feel sure you will come to
your journeys end without rag to
wear He puts three times as many
things in the same space as you
would. Some goods wrinkle SO badly
that no care can avert catastrophe
they come to grief even in the hands
Of a French maid at home. Test
everything you buy from this point OF
view. With material not given over
to evil you can learn 10 pack so that
your clothes won't tell the tale of
their prison house.
The cardinal point is to wrap up
every delicate garment separately +; of
course, it should be folded smoothly,
and to teach how to fold clothes in
print is not easy. AIRY good dress
maker, however, can give you points
on that, and the wrapping is the more
important thing. Pin towels Oh
sheets of tissue paper about your gar
ment, but remember that newspapers
are what you should fold between
each layer of pretty things in the
trunk. Nothing else is SO good ii
is SO unyielding that wrinkles and
protruberances cannot make them
selves felt through it to mark the
fabrics beneath them any more than
if you had used sheet iron.
In packing breakable articles it is
astonishing how many people will jam
them down in corners and sides
where they get the full force of every
conclusion against the unyielding
walls. Tie on your corks well. Put
your bottle near the middle of a
compartment, and you may carry ink
and shoe dressing in safety around
the world.
In packing such things as delicate
hats, bonnets and fancy waists o
such frou-frou nature that no pressure
can be allowed on them, it is still
better to fill up the empty space OF
the boxes allotted to them with light,
| twisted sheets of tissue paper tnan tc
give them a chance to move, and
with all due respect to the best pack
ing in the world, it is still well to
unpack as soon as you can.

ready assumed the character of a bat
tle of the standards-of bimetallism
against gold.
The Democrats ask for free silver
coinage at a basis of 16 to 1. That
means that they wish the national
mint to accept and coin into money
both silver and gold at a ratio of
value of sixteen ounces of silver to one
ounce of gold At the present time the
American gold dollar contains 1913
grains of pure gold, while the silver
dollar contains 271A grains Of pure
silver. This is at the ratio of 16 to l.
At the present time the United States
coins silver dollars only as 1t wants to
use them, and exercises the right to
accept or reject silver at it's own pleas
ure. Still, the silver coinage is larger
than ever before in our history and
the silver dollar Is maintained on
parity with gold by being redeemable
in gold.
The history of the battle of the
standards is interesting. Great Brit
ain began it as far back as 1876, when
silver was demonetized, and that ma
tion has been on gold basis ever
since. The United States, Germany,
France and the Latin Union kept their
mints open to the free coinage of silver
until 1872, when the United States fol-
lowed England's example. Germany
closed dts mints to silver in July, 1873,
and France, Belgium, Switzerland.
Italy and Greece followed suit in 1874.
From 1872 until 1894 the United States
threw sop to the silver mine owners
in the way Of the coinage Of fixed
amount of silver monthly, paying for
/ in gold.
At the present time silver has so
fallen in value that the amount OF sill
ser contained in dollar piece Is worth
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-08-06

only a little over fifty cents. The free
silver advocates claim that this fall in
value was due to the demonetization
Of silver, and that the metal will again
rise to the value 1t formerly had If the
United States opens its mints again to
free silver coinage. The gold men dis
agree in opinion. Some believe an in
ternational agreement or treaty can
be arranged to restore the price Of sill
yer. Practically all the leading states
men of this country, and many in
Europe, favor an effort in this direc-
ton. A conference representing the
