Are Women Extravagan,7,


was recently the theme of discussion in one
of the large New York City daily papers.
A remarkable fact was that most of the let.
ters on the subject came from men, and
more remarkable still was their admission
that women were not half as extravagant as
themselves. Nearly all the great spend
thrifts Of the world have been men. It ia
the heir not the heiress, who squanders the
fathers hard earned gold. OF course. very
often a woman spends more than she ought
to, and more than che would If she
had an honest relative idea of her hus-
bands way and means. Very few wives
would force their husbands into bank
ruptcy through exiravagance.-Fo,

First.-The rise in premium ON gold has
caused some inconvenience to the Mexican
government and to Mexican importers of
fsreign goods. 1t has caused no general in
convenience to the people. It has closed no
shops; it has thrown no vorkingmen out of
employment; 1t has plastered no mortgages
on Mexican farms; 1t has created no paraIy-
sis Of business; it has made no currency IA
mine. The internal affairs Of Mexico are
going on just as they were before the last
drop in silver bullion.
1t is announced that the advance in the
premium on gold will greatly check the i'm
portation of foreign goods, and cause the
Mexican people to depend more entirely ON
their own products. We presume that
MEXICAN manufacturers will not be over.
whelmed with distress on that account.
They will probably endeavor to bear that
burden with reasonable patience. The
men employed in Mexican chops will prob
ably not 60 into rebellion because of the
necessity of producing more goods.
1t seems queer that the advocates of a
protective tarif-the men who are always
telling rs that the country would be ruined
IL foreign goods were allowed to enter the
country-shoold now be lying awake nights
and weeping over the misery that has be-
fallen those poor Mexicans as q result of a
check on importations of foreign goods.
Free traders might be induced to regard
this Interference with trade as an injury to
the country, but It is hard to understand
Why gold standard protectionist should
point TO check In importations as an evil
dence of impending national ruin.
Second.-The two cases are not parallel,
as is evident from the fact that the decline
in the price Of silver bullion has not caused
any premium on gold in this country. Our
silver money is just as good az 1t was before.
It is good in Europe" There is no change
in the price Of foreign exchange.
What makes this difference7
There are two radical points:
(s) The MEXICAN government has a large
bonded debt, the interest on which has to
be paid In gold. As the revenues of the
government are received in silver, the gov
eminent has to exchange this silver for gold,
and whenever you begin to sell one kind Of
money and buy another, the money that is

The Situation In rlexico.

The gold papers are making a great deal
of noise over the disastrous condition of
Mexico in consequence of the fall in the
price of silver bullion and the advance in
the premium of gold
They point with pri ,e" to this fact and
say that would be the condition of this
country had we adopted the free coinage of
silver.
This sort of talk will be accepted gleefuIly
by those who are already committed to the
gold standard and are hunting heaven and
earth for reasons for their own opinion.
It will probably be accepted by men who
do not take the trouble to think for them
selves, and are glad to have some one fur
nish them ideas made to order.
But with men who stop to think this will
have no weight at all.
They will find, first, that the condition of
affairs in Mexico is not 80 disasterous after
all, and, second, that there is no parallel be-
tween the present condition of Mexican
finances and the condition We would have In
this country under free coinage of silver.

what Has Become Of Bell Boyd.
Nothing has been heard of Bell Bovd. the
famous rebel spy, for several years. She
may be dead for all the writer knows. but
IN 1892 she went on the lecture platform.
She was then described as past 90, and it
was said her reddish blonde hair had turnad
white. She had three children; and had
heen divorced from her third husband.
She is chiefly remembered from the
scheme by which she caused Lieutenant
Harding of the Federal Army to permit !.
Confederate officer to escape, after which
Harding deserted the Union army and
ned to England, where he married Miss
Boyd. Afterward both returned and be-
came SPIES in the Confederate service.
