five white silk frills top the tight mo-

he says: r

This may be made perfectly clear by
examining the two standards where
they meet In the London money mar

green, pink and cerise.
For ornate tiuffiness the palm Of the

Every crank who ventures to prose-
lyte for free silver seems to think that
the poor man Is his most promising
game. The doctrine he presents Is that
more money Is needed that the poor
man may have plenty. He does not say
how the poor man is to get any more
money, which is the important thing,
nor that q cheap money Is the one
thing the poor man can stand less ably
than the rich man. The poor man, the
workingman, or the farmer, are served
only when they have the best money
obtalnable. Suppose for moment that
free silver should drive the gold dollar
out OF circulation. The first effect Is
on the poor man. When he receives his
weekly wages 1t is paid in the cheap
money. He Is the first loser. He can
buy less with 1t than with the higher
priced money, OF course. II he hap
pens to be earning ST. week and the
dollars are cut down from gold basis
to a silver basis he will get twelve dol
lars, worth possibly 20 cents each, or
$S.40, instead OF the value that prevails
when the gold standard Is accepted.
With cheap money prices will go up.
What lie buys he will have to pay more
for. Manufacturers are not going to
produce their wares and sell them for
the same number Of dollars when the
dollars are worth less money. The poor
man will catch it in both directions.
Cheap money disarranges all business
relations. There is no such a thing as
one standard for one class and an
other for another class. The talk of
the debtors money and the creditors
money is bunko. Every man is debtor
and creditor all the time. The work
ingman Is the creditor while he is earn
ing his wages, until he is paid. He is
n debtor for the few things he buys
without paying for when he gets them.
AS he pays cash for much Of what he
buys, and allows all his wages to stand
until the end Of the week or month, he
Is a creditor more than he Is debtor.
the debtor, would benefit the employer
who owes him wages, and who pays
the wages in the deprecated coin.
There is but one standard desirable.
and that Is the best dollar that can be
made. The standard is now fixed at a
trife more than % grains of pure gold.
The aim Of the country is to keep all
other dollars, gold, silver. or paper, up
to that standard and not debase or
cheaper any Of them.-Pittsburg

Second-That the price of silver will
be lower one year after than one year
before the passage of free coinage

Third-That the price Of silver will
be less than 80 cents per ounce when
