BCNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

BCNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.
A reference to the state
nrent BELOW will show that
the circulation sworn to is a
bona fide one.
II is easily possible for a
newspaper with an elastic
conscience to swell its Iegit-
i'm ate circulation enor-
mousIy, i'm order to deceive
advertisers, by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnab!e, and which are in
fact returned, but neverthe-
less are included in what
purports to be an honest
statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers,
however, judge by results,
and bogus circulation don't
give them.
The family circulation of
The Times is many thou
sands in excess of any other
Washington paper and is
believed to be fully two
times that of its afternoon
contemporary.
The circulation of The Times for the
week ended July ), 1896, was as fol-
lows:

lsOlemnly swear that the above is a
correct statement of the circulation of
The Washington Times for the week
ended July 3, 1896, and that every copy

crease out the name of Marshall in that OF
jenkins, her proud spirit could brook no
more.
She took an opportunity when the next
set was formed 10 butt against EIneline,
throwing that young woman TO the floor,
breaking the laces of her stays and tear
ing the flounces from a borrowed dress.
Emeiine had reputation at stake. Her
country friend was present, aud she must
show her how the delicate matters of
knock-down and drag-out are conducted
in great centers OF popula ton. She clinched
Henrietta and tried with tooth and nail to
insert bloody arabesques in her face.
Fat Mr.. Givins, the private watchman
whose elifei is made up of such fairs, dra gged
the combatauts apart. He told, with great
pathos, this morning, how he restored to
Emeline false bang and Henrietta several
hairpins lost in the scuffle.
Emelines mother. after trying to in
troduce the menu of her hotel in the evil
dence, said her girl had never been to a
ball but twice. The police scored up a
few bars of honor on the Jones escutche on.
and Judge KimbaIl accepted her personal
bonds.
Henrietta is an old offender, and as Mr..
Givins said she struck the first blow, the
court fined her S5, which she paid, ex-
tracing the money from her shoe.
A COSTLY THROW.
Sampson Carver. bearded like Othello,
was fined So for a trifling infraction Of the
law. Last night Sampson bought pint OF
whisky, taking drinks out of the bottle
every five minutes or so, in the shade OF
alleys and behind trees. After he had nearly
dislocated his neck endcavoring TO get the
last drop out of the bottle, he flung the
flask ON the pavement, smashing it in
pieces.
Brave, vigilant Officer Mueller, who has
the police manual In heart and mind, ar
rested him under the ordinance forbid
ding the breaking OF glass on the street.
''What about this, Sampson?' asked the
court.
''WeIl, boss" replied the defendant shak-
ing his woody beard. seldom worn in
such a style outside of Barbary and comic
operas. 81 frOo down de drink and den

1t was a case of throw down all around.
Sampson had to pay SO.

Max Kohner OF 132 Seventh street uortb-

reasonable. and perhaps more SO, than in

Is good, honest merchandise at moderate
prices. Mr.. Kohner gives both and deserves

Silver Dollars Arc Legal Tender.

Many of the plain people" of the
United States have wondered what Is
meant, when 1t is said that Congress in
1879 struck down One-half the money
in the country. The figure is forciblc
hut somewhat obscure. The Denver
News comes to the rescue. 1t saws: "Rv
the legislation of 1873 the minis were
not only closed to silver but the silver
money of the country was dcmonctiZed.
it was deprived of its legal tender Quail,
ty. Thus the silver money of the conn
try was struck down."
The News is III error. Section 81 of
the act of 1873 contained a proylso thai
"this act shall not be construed to affect
any act done, right accrued, or penalty
incurred, under former acts, but eyery
such right is savcd.' This language
preserved the legal tender quality of the
silver dollar, since the right to pay ones
debts in silver dollars was one of the
rights accrued under former acts, which
nothing. contained in the act was permit
ted to destroy.

upon the farmer mind, the truth,
the great truth, still remains that
the mind of the business man must origin
ate all the plans for the employment OF
idle labor, and whether these industries
are little by little enlarged each year, en-
ploying more and more men, or whether
they are little by little narrowed each
year, employing less and less men, de-
ponds, not upon the judgment or the po-
litical views of the men employed, but
upon the judgment of the men who en-
ploy. When the farmers in the country
and the laborers in the city suffer them
selves to be led into some great national
movement which the business mind be-
lieves is dangerous, then this business
mind, in order to p.otect the interests over
which it presides, begins the process of
narrowing its operations to suit the new
conditions.
A farmer may believe in free coinage
and laboring man may believe in free
coinage, but if the business mind of the
country on which both the farmer and
the laboring man is dependent is afraid of
free coinage, then the threat of free
coinage, instead of breathing new life in
to industry, strikes it with the paralysis
of death.
EysrYm earnest thinking man in this
desires to see the industries of the marion
revived, because labor can find employ
ment and farm produce find market in
no other way.
When all the arguments have been ex-
hausted on both sides, the whole cues
ton narrOws into this proposition. that
activity in industry is dependent upon
the confidence the business men have in
the financial and tariff policy of the ma.
tional government. Farmers may have
confidence in some untried and catchy
proposition, and the laboring man NAV
nave confidence and even be enthusias-
tic, but if the mind of the business man
hesitates then industry languishes. A
thousand laboring men may stand ready
to go to work in factory. And the
farmers may stand ready to provide
these laboring men with food, but if the
managers of the factory are afraid 10
start it, then it will not start. II NAV
appear to these thousand laborers md
TO these farmers that the managers of
the factory are unreasonable, and that
they have more power in the nation than
they ought to have, but the truth will
remain forever, that mind, and not ma
Jorities,, is the controlling force upon
which the industry of the nation depends
and that the judgment of one trained
business mind is worth more to a ,om.
munity than the judgment of MANY men
who work with their muscles on tho
farm and in the factory
