VIII Make = Strong Fight.
The executive committee was con-
tinued by unanimous vote of the con-
vention and will be given power to add
to their numbers. They held meet
ing in the morning and resolved to pros
ecute the hght for currency reform to
the utmost and to make an effort to
raise the necessary funds by impressing
upon the business community the inn
portance Of placing the currency upon
a stable basis.
A significant motion was made before
the adjournment of the convention by
Mr.. Rhoades, of New York. 1t was
that when the convention adjourned
the adjournment be subject to the call
of the chair, and not final adjourn
ment. Mr.. Rhoades withdrew his mo-
ton at that time, but will renew 1t to-
day. His purpose is to place it in the
power of the executive committee to
summon the representatives of the bust
ness community together at any time
during the fight in congress when their
influence seems likely to be potent.

Commenting on the fact that the
report of the special legislative cou-
mittee to investigate the state insti-
buttons shows that the state can save
10 cents on every dollar expended on

saving, if it had been in vogue.
would have saved the state $345,O75.

Republican "policy.,

Really, the republicans are getting
into q serious tangle over the money
question.
Gold recommendation in the Treas
ury and international bimetallism in
the White House are not going to
harmonic.
In this connection the Minneapolis
Tribune, stanch advocate of ''sound
money" says that it was "bad poll
tics for Secretary Gage to stir up the
dormant silver sentiment in the sen.
ate by proposing financial measure
which went way beyond the demands
of the republican platform
1t will be observed that the Tri-
bune is not worrying over question
of principle. 1t is not at all interest
ed as to whether Secretary Gage is
right or wrong; it is merely annoyed
because the secretary showed the
hand of his party at too early a stage
of the game.
Blind, as all advocates of gold are
blind, to the real position of the peo-
pie, the Tribune speaks of dormant
silver sentiment" There is no such
thing as dormant silver sentiment.
The people are awake at last, and
Secretary Gage has simply helped to

convince them that back of all the
hypocritical talk abont International
bimetallism is the firm purpose of the
money power to fix the single gold
standard jrrevocably upon this ma
ton.
When the Tribune monrns this
first eerions mistake of policy" 1t
confesses Judgment against the re-
publican party. As a trimmer and
as an opportunist, Mckinley has
made an error by allowing his secre-
tary of the treasury to commit him
to the gold standard. But Secretary
Gage has simply been honest enough
to tell exactly what the republican
party wishes to accomplish. Chicago

That Fifty.Cent Dollar.

Gold monolnetallists are all enthus-
iastic over the rise in the price of
wheat, forgetting that their enthusi-
asm is caused 10y an illustration of
what bimetalIism would do for all
products.
During the last campaign the argu-
ment against silver was a constant
howl about the "fifty-cent dollar"
Now the same men who made these
arguments are rejoicing over fifty
cent dollar. AS the Atlanta Constitu-
ton cogently remarks: "The wheat
grower who wants money can now
buy with a bushel of his product
almost twice the amount of money it
would command four or five weeks
ago. On the other hand the man who
wants to buy wheat can get for his
dollar only half as much as he could
get awhile ago. If this is not cheap
ening the dollar with vengeance,
we don't know what 1t u.s."
Now, if the same result had been
NAOoEho 1OOut Wy Ilic DECENTRALIZATION
OF silver, instead of by famine and
failure of the wheat crop abroad,
what would these logicians have to
say? If it is a good thing to have a
ffty-cent dollar for wheat, why is it
not good thing to have fifty-ce MT
dollar for all commodities?
Has the honor of the nation
suffered peril because the price of
wheat has gone-to nearly double its
old figures? Would the ''honor" of
the nation suffer if, under bimetal-
: lism, all commodities, including
labor, should be advanced in price?
AS matter of fact, the advocates
of gold have been caught in their
own trap. So anxious are they to
prove prosperity has arrived that
they adopt the argument of bimetaI-
lists and concede the very point
which they formerly denied. Chicago

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Keeping Up Appearances.

In the business as we'll as in the So
cial world, says the national Stock
man and Farmer, appearances count
for too much sometimes and that real
merit is passed by for something less
worthy that makes better show.
But this is ''the way of the world"
and as we cannot we should take adj
vantage of it. A breeder of live
stock without proper stationery, bus
mess cards, ETC., would not be as IA
vofably regarded as one who is up to
date in all these things. A breeder
whose stock does not show its real
worth because it is not in condition
cannot dispose of it to best advan-
tage. In all kinds of marketable pro-
duce appearance counts for dollars
and cents. But this matter might be
carried farther. The farms appear
ance has certain influence, though
it may not be reckoned wholly in
money. A we'll kept farm, a beautiful
and comfortable if MT costly home
is a source of pride to the farmer
and his family; and the love for their
home may form u bond between
them which is never broken. But
what of the appearance of the farmer?
Here we touch q delicate question,
though an important one. To GER
tain extent a mans appearance de-
termines his standing with those who
have no other way of judging him.
The man who don't care how he
looks is unques.ionably at some dis
advantage in any part of the business
world where he is not we'll known,
and at serious disadvantage in soci-
ETY., where ones position is of the
greatest Importance. There is no
need of extravaganza, or any attempt
to keep up with the styles; but there
is need of greater attention to this
important sulj ct of appearance ON
the part of many people.

Men and Marriage.

A woman writer in the North Ameri-
can Review discusses the question,
"Why more men do not marry" and
gives SO many reasons that the reader
In conclusion is inclined to be sur.
prised that the number of marriages
Is not less rather than more. The sub.
ject, says u Chicago contemporary, Is
one that has at various times engaged
human nature and conduct, and in this
particular paper is treated with such
generous regard for all the arguments
eXtant that the writer seems to have
presented summary of the world's
knowledge OF conjectures rather than
an expression of individual judgment.
Fortunately for the self-esteem Of the
rising Or recently-risen generation the
fault for the growing disfavor in which
marriage is held among fashionable
people can be attributed largely to the
mistakes of parents in bringing up
their children. The seeds of improvi-
dence, vanity and sensual excuses are
sown early by foolish and indulgent
parents, are nourished with awful per-
sistence until they become the domi-
nant characteristics of the child, and
are then taken in hand by the maid
or youth to be trained into luxuriant
growth. From this beginning verb
table exotic of worldliness Is produced
which gives forth many of the various
results which are treated independent
ly as causes of the lack of marriages.
II does not appear that either sex holds
monopoly of matrimonial discour-
agement, the hnnors OF dishonors be-
ing about even, but 1t is clear that
some of the causes are inherent in con-
ditions for which the general tend
ency of the age is responsible and
which cannot be laid at the door OF any
individuals or class.
