SUFFERING IN SILENCE,

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn rnodesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies IN the exposure of exa1nina-
ton and "local treatment
Take ten cases of "fernale weakness"
and in nine of them 'local treatment"

The City,s Coal.


The Argus of yesterday made an at
tempt to show that the City Government
committee on public buildings had made
o contract for coal at higher price that
that at which the committee on fire de-
partment had since purchased GOAL.
That is true, but there are two reasons
for it. The committee on public build
ings advertised for proposals, and award
ed the contract to the lowest bidder, the
Randall & McAllistsr Company. This
contract was to include the coal for fire
department., but after the proposal was
received, the fire department committee
was informed by local dealer that he
would sell the coal at about SIS 30 ton.
This led to cutting of prices among the
dealers, until Randall & McAllister
made new price on the fire dep artln emit
coal. lower than that Of their competl-
tors, thus getting the second contract
also, receiving in the one case $6.15 a
long ton, and in the second So. 25 a long
ton. The second reason for lower price
on the two lots is that while the coal for
the public buildings must be delivered
in small lots all through the winter and
spring, that for the fire department can
be delivered Immediately II will he seen
that the reduction is due to war of
rates among the dealers, over the smaller
amount OF coal which the city needs.

"The Crime of 1898
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
Your silver correspondent, IS. W. t."
has recently asked, what reason was
there in 1878 for discrimination against
silver by the country" and it might not
be profitable to take some of tie present
silver arguments and carry them back to
the year 1878 for his answer.
We are silver producing country, y
say the money reformers of today. But
less than half a century ago the world
was resounding with the fame of the
California gold mines, and as late as 1870
the production OF gold in the United
States was $50. 900, 000 and of silver only
Sl6 600, 600. Well might have the men of
1878 have said, ave are gold producing
country"
Previous to 1878, 81 Ia grains of pure
silver made a dollar and gold was Il
companion metal. ''We were,'' says
Coins Financial School, "on what was
known as bimetallio basis, but what
was in fact silver basis" But it we
are told that it is not right to take a rare
metal at the measure of value, it de-
preoiates prices, and is a crime against
humanity. By this rule therefore the
men of 1878 should be commended for
their right doing, and not blamed for
crime. Which was the rare metal in
1878? Why silver. Looking back to the
year 1S49 how much gold did they find
had been produced in this country ?
Twelve hundred millions. And how
much silver? Why only one hundred and
fifty-five millions Even SIS late as 1870
the production of silver had. been oniy
sixteen millions against afty millions
Of gold.
Now anyone believing In the arguments
of today for silver should certainly think
that the government In 1878 did very
humane thing when ii changed tho meas
ure of dollar from. 81 grains of pure
silver to 1922 grains of pure gold. In
changing from what "Coin'' declares had
been Sin fact silver basis it used for
it's standard a metal which durine tire
% previous years had been produced ia at
least seven fold greater quantities than
silver, and, up to the latest STATISTICS
then given, was still being produced iY,
the larger ratio.
And this was the socalled crime against
the people.
