THE END OF THE PLAY.

No doubt Great Britain would be de-
lighted if France and the United States
could be induced to assume the burden of
the attempt to restore silver to its free and
unlimited coinage. Its bankers would
quickly ratify an arrangement by which
it would purchase tho comparatively small
amount of silver that would be equivalent
to one-fifth of the reserve of the Bank of
England provided the United States and
France would open their minis to the free
coinage of silver. Holding to it's gold basis,
it would be a great advantage to the
worlds clearing house to have nations
practically forced to silver recommendation
and pay the exchanges incident to settling
balances in gold No one other thing could
do more to enable Great Britain to retain
its financial ascendency and to make money
at the expense of silver money countries.
Franco suspended the coinage of silver in
1874 because that policy made it possible
for England TO deplete the gold stock of
that country Now that the price of silver
bullion has fallen so per cent, it can safely
be assumed that France will not join the
United States or any other country in an
attempt to restore it's value as a commodity
by free coinage.
If the United States commissioners in
Europe seeking to bring about interna-
tional Dimetallism are engaged in efforts
to commit the United States and France to
the free coinage of silver upon any such
consideration as the Bank of England
holding one-fifth of its reserve in silver
they will fail. The bimetallism which the
Republican national convention pledged the
efforts of the party to bring about, if pos
sible was international. Free silver COIN
age in France and the United States is not
international by long way. Great Britain,
Germany and France must join the United
States to make such a movement inter-
national Great Britain has already made
it clear that It will not join in such an in
ternational movement, consequently it is a

DIscoURAGING CULINARY ART.

The people who eat but do not cook have
that cookery at its best is really fine art
and worthy of ranking with the highest
professions. They have established chairs
of the domestic arts in colleges. Cooking
schools have sprung up in every city, and
much eloquence has been expended in urg-
ing young women to qualify themselves for
this occupation at once so honorable, use
full, and above ALL so truly feminine. Par
ticular stress has been laid upon the admir-
able fitness of the work for women and of
women for the work. They have been adj
jured to devote themselves to this calling
in preference to going into shops, factories
and other fields of labor, and have been told
that they and the world will be the better
therefor. After much energy has been
expended in this direction, with doubtless
some effect in convincing women-some
women-that there is no place which they
would so well adorn as the immediate
neighborhood of cook stove, it seems I'M
fortunate that an antagonistic element
should be allowed to enter, and that too,
through periodical whose purpose it is to
encourage culinary art. A writer in What
to Eat. who says that she herself is a cook,
talks in such pessimistic way of the occu-
patton that she is likely to overthrow in
moment the views that philanthropists have
been trying for several years to establish.
She boldly asserts that men cooks make
money, while women cooks either make
bad marriages or go mad-a discouraging
prospect for young women who have been
industriously taught that the way to get
and keep a good husband was to cook for
him. In support of her statement she pro-
fesses to have statistics showing that 40
per cent. of the female inmates of insane
asylums were cooks by occupation, and
that of cooks who marry AZ per cent. suffer
or die from infiammatory rheumatism, the
result of working in intense heat, breathing
hot vapors and living in unwholesome
rooms The influence of such statements
from such woman will be likely to check
any eager rush into kitchens that the adj
vocates of the kitchen as women's sphere
have hoped to bring about, and to hinder
the progress of culinary art greatly. 1t is
really a pity
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-09-21

Every one recognizes the evidence of bet
ter times. Even the siverite by his silence
is convinced by the logic of current events
Even Bryan sees it and attributes it to the
advance in wheat which will not exceed
$1,000 10000. The volume of bank transactions
is third greater than it was a year ago.
Merchants and manufacturers in every part
of the country report better times and still
better prospects. Indeed, one may travel ali
day and not hear sneer about 1.-The adj
vance agent of prosperity because the
growler has been made aware of his actual
presence in the land.
On Saturday the Manufacturers Record
of Baltimore published six pages of letters
in response to 1000 inquiries sent to leading
manufacturers in all parts of the country
From North, South, East and West the
same response was received. The increase
in the values not only of wheat but of all
farm products and live stock has given the
farmers the means with which to purchase,
causing a demand for all kinds of merchant
disc and giving employment to labor. The
railroads are doing an immense volume of
business, giving employment to many thou
Factories in the East report that they are
running day and night to meet orders-fac-
tories which year ago were either idle
running half time What is true of the
East is true of the West. General activity,
an unprecedented demand for goods and un-
expected request for labor are the answers
to the Manufacturers Record.
Causes are also given. Among them are
the adjustment of the tariff upon a basis
which gives the country its own markets
confidence in the financial situation, the
general demand for goods. One writer gives
the absolute bowling out of the bowler as
one of the causes of the better times. For
many of these causes the Republican party
can claim the credit-a fact which it viii
not do to forget Even if it had failed to
carry out it's tariff policy, the country
would not be enjoying the present wide
spread confidence. The fact that the good
times waited the passage of the Dingley
law is evidence of this
