The Tower Journal recently
made a horrible mistake. In re-
porting meeting addressed by
Towne it credited the congressman
with making statements now that
were made by him at a meeting
there two years ago. It was a
roaring denunciation of the Demo.
cratic party for the hardship it
had brought upon the country,
aud the voters were urged to sus-
tain the Republican party. At
the close of the article the Journal
apologized for getting the dates
mixed. Great care should be taken
to give dates in quoting Mr..
Towne. ~"

WHERE THE GOLD MEN WE'RE.

A good story is waited from
Crookston. A curbstone ''orator''
had gathered crowd of loafers on
the street corner and was deliver
ing stereotyped ''oration' on the
glories of debased currency.
Wishing to impress on the minds
of his hearers the strength of the
silver movement he raised his
voice and shouted: "Where are
the silver men?" ''Here, here, -
was the reply from half a dozen of
his dupes. EYES," he continued
impresslvely, "its always that way.
And now, where are the gold
men?" ''They are all at work, you
d-n fool" shouted a voice in the
outskirts of the crowd, and silence
has since reigned supreme on that
street corner.

No one claims that the average
employer is worrying for fear he
will haye to pay his laborers less
wages, any more than the laborer
is worrying for fear the employer
will have to pay him more wages.
What is worrying the employer is
the fear that condition may arise
in which there will be no profit in
continuing his business. If he
can't sell the product Of his mill,
he can't run the mill. He wants
te do business, but if he can't OBJ
tain receipts from selling the prod
uct, he can't continue expenses
by paying wages. The mill
owners generally believe that free
silver coinage would so injure
business that they could not con-
tinue manufacturing at profit.
That is certainly the reason why
they oppose free silver coinage.
If they can't continue business,
the men who are at present working
for them will certainly be out Of
jobs. Of course the dollar that a
laboringman received under free
coinage would not be worth as
much as the dollar he receives
now. but if he had no market for
his labor he wouldn't receive any
dollar at all.

Topsy and Her Do1ls.

Almost every boy thinks his pet cat
or dog is prettier and smarter than any
other boys, but Willie is sure that no
cat can do funnier things than his Top
sy. OF course Topsy is a black cat, or
she would not have that name. Do you
know why? She is very black, with
only q white star in her forehead.
When she was little kitten, she was
very fond Of dolls and was always steal
ing the dolls that belonged to Willie g
sister Laura. At last Laura fixed up two
rag dolls for Topsy. Then she was hap
py and did not NEEDLE with other dolls
any more.
Topsy carries the dolls around in her
mouth, one at time. She losses them
up and catches them, just as cats play
with mice. There is box behind the
stove, with soft bed in it, where Top
sy sleeps when it is cold. Every night
she puts both dolls to bed in the box be-
fore she gets in herself.
The dolls get so worn that Laura has
to put new dresses on them quite often.
Then Topsy acts for few days as if she
was not sure she had her own dolls. If
one doll is taken away, Topsy misses it
very soon and will hunt all about fo1

THE REMEDY.

In recent speech Hon. Tom
Reed, of Maine, said:
We must restore confidence first
by putting anarchy down and all
manner of disturbances. Peace
and stable government are the
first necessity. This is a borrow
ing. and a lending world. No
amount of denunciation of money
lenders, no wild talk about Wall
street. which by the way is the
greatest money borrower in the
world, will ever put down that
fact. Enterprises are carried on
by the united confidence of men OF
money and men of brains. Bring
this thing home to yourselves and
then you will understand 1t. If
you had money or any other capital
you had earned yourself or your
father had left to you. or even II
you had won in the luck of a
lottery, would you let it out to
anybody on earth who was liable
to give you back only half OF it,
and want to call itsquare? If you
were a business man, would you
take things on a gold basis and sell
them on credit to people who
were trying to sec if they could
not pay you on a silver basis?
With the defeat of the Bryan.
Watson.Sewall combination will
come certainty of the repayment
of capital borrowed at home and
abroad, certainty that business
enterprise will have a firm
foundation and 1897 with its at
tendant years of success will lift
US to another height Of success
which, perhaps, another set OF
misguided citizens, forgetful OF the
past, will waylay US and We shall
have to beat them again.

BRYAN,S ABSURD CLAIM.

St. Paul Dispatch: When Can
didate Bryan talks about the ability
of the United States, by the adop-
ton Of free coinage, to increase
the value Of 100000 $1,000 worth
of silver in the world to $8,000,-
100000, he is talking without any
conception whatever of the insig-
niicapt part the United States
performs in the handling of the
great body of silver in the world.
According to the best and most
reliable data, there is about
81, 1000, 100000 of silver coin used
IN the world. The greater part of
this enormous stock of silver coin
has been coined at ratio of IS!
to 1, and the market value of the
bullion of which is estimated at
the present time at $4,000, 1000, 900.
Silver in various other shapes in
actual bullion, plate, ETC., is esti-
mated at from 100000 DOC to
$4,000, 100000. Put at the lowest
figures attainable, in the various
forms in use, the silver of the
world is about $4,000, 900, 900,
market value. Bryan's contention,
in the form IN which he states 1t,
is that free coinage by the United
States alone, would make this
$4,000, 100000 worth $s,o0o,oo0,.
600. "Seventy millions ofpeople,
of whom he boasts, it is true, con.
stitute very great number, but
they are very small part of the
1, 500, 900, 900 people which the en-.
tire globe contains, and shares in
the use of this vast bulk of silver
the value of whichis to be doubled
by our use: of it alone. Nothing
can be more absurd than his claim.

Eugene Field.

The late Eugene Field, who wrote SO
many charming poems for children, to
the day of his death had the heart and
impulses of a boy. He loved animals
and those mechanical toys which wind
up and go with a clickity noise just as
child loves them. His home was a
small toyshop, the toys being of all
kinds and descriptions, but he loved the
mechanical toys the best. A writer in
St. Nicholas tells that every Satur-
day morning Eugene Field went home
laden with toys-not alone for his own
babies, Roswell and Ruth, but for a
number of child friends living at Buena
Park, Chicago. For the girls he bought
dolls by the dozen, and his little boy
Roswell, whom he nicknamed Posey,
had more elephants than were ever shot
~ African travellers. Shortly before he
died, Mr.. Field bought a big elephant
and big brown bear for Posey. Every
Time any one called upon him lit made
no difference. who it was) the elephant
and the big brown bear were wound up,
and away they would go, their heads
,nodding back and forth as If they were
alive. But today they stand quiet and
still in the library.
Eugene Fields own childhood was
unspeakably dreary. His mother died
when he was very small. His grand.
mother, who lived at New Fame, VT,
was a very good but an exceedingly
rigorous woman.

The dress was made in empire shape and
was of magnificent myrtle green lyons vel

and amethyst passementerie on the
shoulders and very short waist which par
TALLY defined the bust. From there the
skirt depended in rich, natural folds. 1t
was gathered at the joining, and the skirt
portion fared out into an easy train, not
very long, but sufficient to make of it
most elegant gown. The sleeves fitted the
arm closely to the wrist and then flared
over a full frill of lace. There were little
puffs put at the shoulders. This whole
gown was lined with corn colored taffeta
and had quadruple pinked ruf11e on the
underside. The 1nodiste told me that the
price of this tea gown was $500! forgot
to say that there was high faring collar
made of the passementerie and lined with
tafeta, cornered with fine point lace.

gown, handsome as it was, cost so much,
and I felt of the velvet and silk to judge
Of its price. The quantity Of materialI
knew from long experience Lyons velvet
of that quality may now be purchased at
So yard-$4 at the most. Ten yards at
81 inches wide would make the gown.
Fifteen yards of taffeta silk was enough
for lining, pinking and all. There were
three yards of passementerie at 50. so q
yard. Allow the lace to cost $40, we have
a total of $69.75, allowing 81 for thread
and facing, more than it costs. Two
women could make it in two days. The
head one receives 81. so and the helper gets
81 a day-s7 in all This brings the cost
to STATS, at the highest retail price.

gown alone. But as long as women are
foolish and men are fond this will be the
way of it,
The canvas stuffs with woolly surfaces
are being made up for early fall. They
usually have a jaunty jacket and close,
snug vest or a full blouse front. The
skirts to these are invariably plain. Trim
ming would be manifestly out of place on
them. The suits, when finished with the big
horn buttons, are very stylish and jaunty.
Nothing could be much handsomer unless
it was the new frieze cheviot This, as it's
name indicates, is hairy. Indeed all the
wooden goods, with only one or two excep-
tions, are frizzed, tufted and curled. There
is what is called snowflake cheviot. 1t is
