Evening mantles were never as luxuri-

White lace is now more fashionable than

there is no evidence of a change. Possibly

KEEPS THE MONEY CLEAN.
10 Old or Defaced Bills Paid Out by
the Bank of England.

If the people really knew how many
persons had caught some sort of dis
ease from handling paper money which
had previously been in the possession Of
sufferers from some contagion, they
would demand radical change in the
policy of the government toward old
greenbacks and bank notes, says the
Bankers Monthly. The treasury de-
partment has subtreasuries in the larg-
er cities Of the country, through which,
to a large extent, the currency of the
country passes. These institutions take
in the small bills of their respective
cities and regions during a part of the
year and pay them out at other times,
according as the convenience of the
banks require. Now the rule should be
that no subtreasury should pay out to
banks or others any but brand-new
greenbacks, and that the national bank
notes which have been in use should be
replaced by new ones. The banks pay
the government enough SO that, as a
mere matter of commercial business,
this policy toward their notes should be
adopted. But whether that was SO or
not, this fresh-bill policy should be
adopted and maintained.
1t is a uniform rule with the Bank of
England that none but absolutely new
bills can go out over its counter. No
matter if the bill has not the slightest
marks of use. If it once gets back into
the bank it never goes out again. The
rule is inflexible and is carried out
faithfully. The United States treasury
should do as much for the American
people as that bank does for the people
of Great Britain. The cost to the bank
of new bill is precisely half penny
Of course this amounts to a good deal of
money each year, but not enough to be
an appreciabIe factor in the general
business of the bank.

Lessons in Economy Being Taught On
the Santa Fs by Circular.
A circular has been issued to trainnen
by Superintendent c. T. Mcclellan, of
the eastern division of the Santa Fe, in
reference to the use of Pintch gas on the
superior passenger coaches, chair cars,
and dining cars.
Il appears that there has been some
extravaganza in the use of the gas, prob
ably shown by the amount of gas fur
nished the cars failing TO last the re-
quired distance. The circular states
that on the dining cars it is only neces-
sary to have all burners lit at meal times,
and that on passenger coaches and chair
cars the lights may be turned low after
o'clock, The circular requests all pas
senger trainmen to give this matter
their attention.

Venezuela Done with silver and Paper

NChckuoA1 ASoho WIN nhu AhPcEs
By constitutional amendment, now
ratified, Venezuela has moved upward
from the silver to the gold standard.
The amendment reads:
Neither the legislative nor the exec
utive. nor any other power in the re-
public, shall in any case or for any mo-
tive issue paper money nor declare az
legal tender any bank notes or any 9TH
er value represented In paper, nor shall
the coming of silver or nickel be ordered
without previous authorization of con-
gress, subject to the same procedure az
in the enactment of other laws"
Z Venezuela has been trying to make
progress under limited double stand
ard. Like most other progressive coun-
tries, she has decided that fiat money,
whether of paper or silver, handicaps
her industries by keeping capital away.
There are Americans who would ad-
wise the United States to go back to the
monetary system Venezuela has been
compelled to abandon in order to &C
quire an advantageous place among

pgceITEuL EDUCATION.
How the Farmers Are Being Deluded by
So Called Farm Papers"

So Called Farm Papers"
There was a time not long ago when
the hundreds of farm journals published
throughout the country were devoted to
matters connected with grain growing,
stock raising, cotton planting, sheep
breeding, hog fattening, poultry keep
ing and similar branches of our great
agricultural industries. But since the
free silver craze has been pushed to the
front by the glib tongued prophets Of
prosperity through cheap and trashy
currency, many of these journals have
become the organs of the men who farm
the farmers for political purposes, and
are filled with the cunning fallacies and
Misrepresentation of the l6 to schem-
ers.
Prominent among the papers, which
ignorantly or Intentionally are doing
the work of the silver bullionaires of
the Rocky mountains, is Farm, Field
and Fireside of Chicago, That journal,
in a recent issue, devotes nearly five
pages to the silver question, and tries to
persuade its farmer readers that free
coinage will make them richer. How it
will do this the editor does not explain.
He simply says it will, and expects his
readers to swallow what he tells them.
The reliability of the statements of
this particular paper can be judged from
its assertion that the free coinage of
silver at 16 to would not mean silver
monometallism, but would give US BIZ
metallic standard. The claim of the
sound money advocates that free coin
age would put the country ON silver
basis is characterized as "a lie and an
insult to the intelligence of every pro-
Queer in the land"
Let us see. Instead Of wasting time
in disputes over what may be the result
of free coinage Of silver, it is only nec-
essary to look at all the countries which |
now have that system in full operation. |
What do we find? Simply this, that ev-
cry country in the world which has free |
and unlimited coinage of silver at a |
fixed ratio, such as Farm, Field and |
Fireside wants for the United States, is
circulation. This is one great fact |
against which yards of cheap money
editorials or gales of 16 to oratory can
make no impression. No free silver
country in the world, though some of
them have four times as many people
as there are in the United States, is able
to maintain bimetallic standard Sill
yer, and silver alone, is the standard Of
value and basis for currency. This is
not goldbug theory or money shark
teSehing. 1t is pure, >unadulterated
truth.
Farm, Field and Fireside says that
Silver monometallism would be almost
as bad as gold monometallism. 1t
would be great deal worse, but it is
Important to note that while pretending
to condemn the policy which must in
evitably lead to the silver basis, that
paper admits the unpopularity of silver
mopometallism. Its farmer readers
should insist ON being told why the re-
suits of free coinage would not be the
same in this country as in all the other
nations of the earth which have tried it.

The Determination of the Gold Men.

From the New Orleans States.
The turning down of Senator
Hill who had been selected by the
democrat national committee as
temporary chairman of the Chica-
go convention, was expected and
therefore, did not cause as much
surprise or excitement. as would
have occurred had not the plans of
the silver men been known in ad {.
vance. The silverites had the
power of numbers and determined
to control the convention from be-
ginning to end even IL they had to
override all precedents, and they
did exactly what they said they
would do. The humiliation Of
Senator Hill, however, will have
the effect Of intensifying the bit
terness OF the minority OF gold
men and it is quite probable that
