Leather remnants are regular article
Of trade. In manufactures of leather there
are remnants, just As there are remnants
in the manufacture OF cloth, Of tin, OF
wood and Of very many other materials.
There are wholesalers who deal In leather
remnants exclusively, who will buy any
leather remnants whatever, and who ind
a sure sale for everything they buy. For
many purposes the remnants are as good
as pieces cut form whole sides would be,
and they cost very much less.
A manufactures of fine shoes, who buys
whole skins, outs out the best and uses
that only and sells the rest as remnants.
The remnants ere sold to manufacturers
who make cheaper grade Of shoes. The
shoes made from such remnants may be
better and cheaper than shoes made from
cheap whole stock.
Harness makers and saddlers who buy
whole skins have more or less remnants.
little pieces, and odds and ends that they
have no use for. but which may be made
useful for one purpose and another. From
any whole stock there must be remnants.
and the remnants are all good for some.

are sold to make boot heels Of and insoles.
The smallest remnants of some kinds OF
leather are used for the filling of balls.
Leather remnants are used for making sus.
pender tips, for leather trimmings, for leg.
ging straps, for the making of cheap pock.
etbooks and for covering eyeglass and spec.
tacle cases and various kinds Of fancy
goods, for bookbinding. for making chill.
dren's shoes, for the straps used on hobby
horses, for leather buttons and washers.
for corners on books. Remnants Of French
calf are used for fine cobbling and rem
nants generally are sold for a very great
variety Of purposes.
There are half dozen or more whole
sale dealers in leather remnants in this
city. There are said to be a larger number
In Boston. While the wholesale dealer In
remnants will buy remnants Of any kind,
there are still smaller scraps of leather,
called chips, which he does not buy. The
chips and the sweepings are sold to chem

With the enormous consumption OF
leather in this country, the quantity OF
remnants here Is large. Remnants are pro
duced in England just as they are here,
but not In quantity sufficient to supply the
demand there. Many tons of American
leather remnants are exported to England,
where they are sold for the same uses to
which they are put here. York Sun.

Fair Lillian Wins Her Suit.

New Haven, Feb. l7.-Judge w. X.
Townsend, of the United States district
court, yesterday filed decision in the
case of appeal by Lillian Russell, the well
known opera singer, from a decision,
OF the general board of appraisers OF
the New York custom house. One hun
dred and sixtytwo packages Of costumes
and scenery were imported by Miss
Russell, for temporary use, and she filed
q bond and took the goods out. AS the
goods were not returned within the six
months allowed, the board of appraisers
fixed the tariff at $2792.29. Miss Russell
protested, claiming that the goods were
taxable under the Wilson tariff law
which went into effect Jan. 1, 1895. The
board Of appraisers held that they were
taxable at the rate fixed by the law
in force at the time the goods were
imported. The Wilson law rate is much
lower than that of the Mckinley law.
Judge Townsend's decision sustains the
position taken by Miss Russell and re-
verses that of the board.

Girl Commits Suicide.

Mantle, Conn, Feb. IA suicide,
which was the outcome of opposition
shown by members of family to a
young lady receiving the attentions OF
q young man, occurred on the outskirts
OF East Lyme yesterday. The victim
was Annie NJ. Loveland, aged H. who
shot herself in the temple and died al
most instantly. A young man from
Colchester had been very assiduous in
his attention to the young lady. and a few
weeks ago, when he called at the house
where the young lady had her home
he was met by Samuel Mcdonald, a
brother -in-law and well known locally
in railroad circles, who did not take
kindly to the young man and who gave
him q severe drubbing, and also, to scare
the wooer, fired a few shots at him
The young man had Mcdonald arrested
and the case was to come up for tria
today. 1t is said that the publicit.
OF the affair and the opposition showr
by her relatives was the cause OF tn,
young ladys suicide.

nTHE MONEY POWER AND THE COM
MON PEOPLE"

In his Jenerson's birthday speech
on Tuesday night in Washington city.
Mr.. w. J. Bryan said;
'Mr. Cleveland more than any other
nerson in this nation IS respon-
sible for the prominent position
which the money question now occupies.
II was his determination 10 complete the
decentralization Of silver and make the
gold standard perpetual. that aroused the
masses of the United States TO active
resistance The struggle for supremacy
between the gold standard and bimetal-
lism was recognized as contest between
the money power and the common peo-
pie.
To what private or official act Of Mr..
Cleveland's can Mr. Bryan refer TO sus~
tain his charge that lit was his determina-
tion to complete the decentralization OF
syter and make the gold standard per-
petual"? Upon the contrary. Mr. Cleve-
Land was an advocate of intern~tior b.
metallism, We thought It the only weak
SPOT in his financial policy. but the fact
Is an undoubted one that he Thought Il
possible TO continue the use Of silver as 81
full money metal. II only it were done by
an international agreement and he was
IN favor Of trying 10 induce the nativea
of Europe to join us in an attempt to
keep silver anoat as full standard Of
value We always thought the proi','
chimerical and impossible, but It is an
indubitable fact that Mr. Cleveland be-
neved In its practicability and was an ad-
yocate Of II.
Instead then, Of intending to complete
the decentralization Of. he was an ad-
vocate Of the only scheme which by any
possibility could continue silver as d
full money metal.
Mr.. Bryan is just as far wrong also
when he says that the struggle over
silver was one between the money power
and the common people" We base this
remark upon what We suppose he means
by money power upon the one hand
and common people upon the other.
We suppose he means the wealthy people
when he speaks Of money power" IN
contrast with common people" and that
he means those who are not wealthy
when he speaks OF the common people
in this connection.
But there were a great many wealthy
people who were advocates Of free coin
age and Of Mr.. Bryan's election and there
was an immense body OF people with little
or no accumulation who were mis- bitter
est foes and more intense than any others
in wishing TO see his defeat. We viii
mention 10 Mr.. Bryan some OF tho
wealthy people, who wanted 10 see him
elected. They were the owners Of silver
mines. though these We're not all OF
them. There were many wealthy people
that had no silver mines who wanted him
elected.
But the silver mine owners are the
notedly wealthy men who desired TO see
him elected. They desired It because
they have made their fortunes through
forced sales OF their silver 10 the com
mon people" at an enormous advance
upon It's true value. thcy believed. II Mr..
Bryan we're elected. that they could con-

,e IxrrENATIONAL BIMET
tIi~1I.

r,ho Atlanta Constitution, in referring
90 tho onnointment by the President oil
the Bimetalllc Commission, says ''"' '"e
Democrats have every reason 10 we"
these proceedings with equiniml'y' DC
cause they mean that even Mr. Mcri'''.'
and his party have been compeheu u
endorse the Democratic contention 'n"'
the gold standard IS a bad thins' anu
that bime.allism is the only true solution
Of our difficulties" This is mere cap
trap. international blmetallism does NOT
imply the free coinage OF silver, as the
Constitution well knows. and as Mr.. VOL
colt himself confesses. In recent inter-
view, he said:
q am really very much encouraged as
TO the future Of bimotailism from the IN
ternational standpoint. do not mean by
this that the nations OF Europe are eager
TO join in a scheme to promote interna-
tional bimetalllsm, with silver as an equal
standard with gold. l do mean TO say
that the entering wedge, which is
larger use Of silver in the currency Of the
world. may be made at any time. In Eu-
rope 1 found the best opinion, even among
gold advocates, leaning more and more
strongly toward an enlarged use Of silver.
il is my firm conviction that something
exceedingly important viii be accomplish
ed before President Mckinley goes out of
Office, to the great advantage Of all the
world"
Whatever others may hove done. The
Times has never contendcd that the gold
standard IS a bad thing. for The Times
has never believed that the free coinage
Of silver at the present ratio was pracd-
cable or desirable, either with or without
international agreement We have no
idea that any good thing can come out
OF this proposed international conference
and the only effect Of it is TO keep up
the agitation. Tho most that Mr.. Wolcott
himself, by his own confession. hopes for,
IS some sort Of agreement by which more
silver will be put into circulation. lie
has no hope that the nations Of the earth
will ever agree TO free coinage, or to
abandon the gold standard Nor has
President Mckinley any such hope. The
whole business is a sop thrown to the
free silver element. and they have accept
ed it only as a means to an end.
The Constitution gives the whole case
away when It says that SHOULD the effort
to bring about an international agree
ment prove TO be farce. the Democratic
position will be impregnable. for the
party still maintains that the only posi-
bic way Of securing international limotl-
ism is for the United Sta-es 20 tale
Independent action, and open their minis
to the free coinage OF silver" Which
being interpreted means that when this
experiment is proven to be a farce, as the
silver people themselves know will be the
case, they will then have knocked the last
silver prop from under the Republican
platform. s'hey will have eliminated the
humbuggery Of international agree
ment," and will at last have convinced the
people that the only way TO get free
coinage IS for this country TO open its
minis to silver, Independently Of all other
nations

Is one side OF this picture. now let us
look at the other.
There were many onterprlsing poor Lien
I'm this country who had brains and en-
crgv and pluck. and nothing elso with
which fo make thcir fortunes. who con-
tcmplatcd with simple horror the
thought tha, Mr.. Bryan would be elect-
cd with free and unlimited coinage o.
silver as tho countrys policy. Every
man OF this sort knows that his chance.
and his only chance to advance himself
in life depends upon stable and order
~ condition Of affairs In which men
understand exactly what is before them
when they make contracts. The future
Of these men depends upon active busi-
ness and there can be no active busi-
ness 81 man contemplating enter
ing into a contract Is confronted at the
outset with a question whether the doll
lar i'm which the transaction is finally
solved is TO mean a dollar worth 100 cents
or a dollar worth 90 cents. rs soon as
q question Of this sort is raised, the man
contemplating a transaction IS driven
clear of. lie says at once, he will have
nothing TO do with the affair il there IS
TO be any question about that. The poor
man with enterprise and brains there
fore, but nothing else, looks with greater
horror upon Mr.. Bryan's proposition than
the wealthy man. Free silver would mean
the reduction simply Of what the rich
man has. but ne would still have COM
petence left over. But free silver means
starvation and death 10 the plucky poor
man because he has nothing but what
he can earn and he is cut off from all
earnings when free silver introduces tic
element Of doubt with business, so that
q party contemplating a contract is una
bic to know beforehand what his riChts
and HIS liabilities will be.
IT is true that there IS ono class OF poor
men who sympathizo with Mr.. Bryan and
his views. They are the hopeless poor,
who are without energy, or who are
overloaded with debt. These think
q great quantity Of cheap money
will bring them what they are
unable or too despair lg TO labor
for. but the intelligent, hopeful
enthusiastic and energetic poor who are
ready and eager to work when work VIII

The earnings Of railroads are consid-
