And SO, following after the tumble in
prices for live stock that has marked
the last quarter, we have had tumble

has been less, marked than the first.

coNTRADIcTED BY THE FACTS.
They Say Hard Times Cannot Como
from the Gold Standard

They Say Hard Times Cannot Como
from tho Gold Standard.
a young lawyer was called to defend
q man who had been committed to iail.
After the alleged offender had stated
his case, the lawyer remarked: "They
can't put you in Jail for that" The poor
fellow behind the bars replied: "But
they have done it. am in here and
there is no use telling me that they
can't put me here"
The goldtstandard contractionists are
publishing volumes in which they con-
stantly declare that the suspension of
silver coinage, which cut off half of the
supply of standhrd money, cannot pos
sibly have produced either falling prices
or hnrd times. They say that the gold
standhirdisagood thing, and that there
fore hard times cannot come from the
gold standard The silver men reply
that hard times nre here and that every
body knows it, and that the great mass
of the people are growing poorer and
poorer every day, while few gold
manipulators are getting nll they pro-
duce. 1t is not worth while for the
goldites to say that these are not bud
times. because If they do everybody
knows they are either liars or idiots.
But suppose the goldites say that
something else has produced hard
times, and not the gold standard, why
do they not tell us what that something
else isP Have 25 years of profound
peace and abundant hnrvests impover-
ished tho American people? Nothing
else has happened to this country that
can by any possibility be construed to
be evil, except the destruction of one of
the money metals. the doubling of
debts of oil kinds by increasing the pur-
chasing power of money, and the re-
duction of all values fully onc-half, and
thereby more than doubling the bur-
dens of debt. If such revolution in our
finances is not sufficient to produce hard
times, pray tell us what would mako
times hard? Let the golditcs meet the
stubborn fact, and deny, if they dare,
that times are bad and growing worse;
and, if they dare not deny it, let them
state what produced it, and we will dis
cuss that with them. If they can find
n cause for universal distress outside of
money manipulation, let them state 1t.
n such cause exists, it can be stated.
None of them can state it, none OF them
have stated it, and all their quibbling
about the gold standard not producing
bad times is answered by the fact that
bad times are here and no other cause
can be assigned why they are here

A PLEASANT INCIDENT.
II Shows the Non-Pnrtisnn Character
OF the Silver Issuc.

Ii Shows the NOp-Pnrtfsnn Character
OF the Silver Issue.
An incident in the Transmississippi
congress. was creditable to NIL con-
cerned, although it is evident that Mr..
Craig labored under a misrepresentation.
Hugh Craig, of California, was chosen
president of the congress, to succeed
Mr.. Bryan, and later the congress de-
clared in favor of free silver. Mr..
Craig said that rs the congress had de-
clared for n policy opposite to his own
views it might be embarrassing for that
body to have him at his head; and he
rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Bryan, who always says the right
thing in the right place, assured Mr.
Craig that his personal views need not
interfere in the slightest degree with
his holding tho office to which he had
been chosen; that the action of the con-
gress carried with it no partisan in
ference as to its officers. Thereupon
Mr.. Craig withdrew his resignation.
California was honored in the choice
Of one of its representatives as the pre-
siding officer of the congress. Mr..
Craig's manly offer and Mr.. Bryan's
graceful rejoindcr will form pleasant
memory. 1t emphasized the fact that
silver is not purely partisan issue, and
showed that the Transmississippi con-
gress. while holding decided views upon
all great questions Of the day, does not
descend to mean partisanship in its
icts.-Los Angeles Herald.

THIS WINTERS TALLY CARDS
Designs That Will Interest Hostesses
Who Give Progressive Parties

Side by side with the menu and dinner
cards in the show cases of the most
fashionable stationers are to be seen
piles of dainty tally cards, to be used at
the progressive euchre and whist clubs.
When the first progressive card party
was introduced the question of tally
cards was easily settled by purchasing
plain square card and writing Tally"
and Table l. 2, 8, A. etc, as the case might
be. at it's top. AS the game gained in
Importance some of the stores COM
menced printing Tally in colored let
ters on the cards and putting narrow
silk cords and tassels through the cor
ners similar to order of dancing cards.
But in many of the clubs formed there
We're no artists and hence arose a de-
mand in the stores for cards with some
kind of decorations.
To meet this demand the ingenuity
of the manufacturers was called into
play and the result this year is a collec-
tion of very pretty and artistic tally
cards at prices to fit the pocketbook of
any purchaser. A fashionable station
er told me that where he had sold one
card two years ago he sells twenty to-
day.
There are more than $50 styles of tally
cards on the market. They range from
10 cents to 50 dozen. For % cents a
dozen one can buy hand embossed cards
in very pretty designs.
There are more cards sold at 25 and so
dozen than of the cheaper or more ex-
pensive kinds. The average of the
higher priced cards is 81 dozen, and
cards costing more than 50 dozen are,
as rule, made to order.
One of the WomanS exchanges makes
a speciality of hand-painted tally cards,
and some of the samples shown are YER
liable works of art. These cards range
from 81 to s. and $40 each and are paint
ed from designs ordered by the pur-
chaser.
These tally cards are mostly square or
oblong in shape, though some come in the
form of leaves or hearts, While a set Of
four will be composed of cards cut to
represent the diamond, heart, spade and
club of the pack with "Tally" engraved
in one corner.
The style Of finish and the number of
colors used in the hand embossing de-
pend, of course, upon the price Of the
card. The card emblems, diamonds,
spades, clubs and hearts. are much used
in the embossed decorations. They are
tiny in size and generally in their proper
colors; the hearts and diamonds being in
red and the clubs and spades in black.
! The games are marked either by stars
or with punch. Gilt stars are sold in
| boxes of 100 for ten cents, and boxes of
| red or blue stars as low as three and five
cents. The punches range from sixty
fn nn1a oh ion, ff,
the use Of the punch, that it strews the
carpet with little circles of white paper
and causes a troublesome cleaning up
the day following the card party, has
been gotten over by the invention of a
punch with little pocket attached in
which the pieces are caught.

whist are in the form of a small book,

priately decorated, and long leaf in

made on the transaction. Now 1t Is ru-
mored that he paid only a deposit on the
purchase money up to the time of the
yachts resale. The further significant
report has just come to light that within
q fortnight the Count and Countess of
Castellane's financial agent has been in
London arranging to raise money in an
ticipation of dividends on stock owned
by the countess.
Count Boni's extravaganza has been
the talk of Paris for some time, but it
was fancied that his resources were
equal to the drain he was making on
them. 1t is an open secret that his new
palace in Avenue de Bois de Boulogne
has involved him in an enormous ex-
penditure far beyond his calculations
for the actual outlay nearly trebled the
original estimate.-New York World.
