about Il by is inches and selling them for
1000 francs an inch.
The rich man conceived the brilliant
idea that what his theater most needed
was a drop curtain painted by the ia

him. 'How large is this curtain to be.

AN EQUITABLE RATIO.
More Money to Help Trade
and Industry.

Bimetallists want more 100-cept
dollars, and goldites fewer 10o-cent
dollars-the fewer the better for
them. Bimetallists do not fix an I'M
alterable ratio for the coinage of the
metals; but demand that there be free
coinage of both metals, and favor the
existing ratio of sixteen to one, be-
cause it has never been demonstrated
that free coinage of both metals can
not be maintained at that ratio; but
on the contrary 1t has been demon
strated by record of so years in this
country and in Europe that this ratio
is an equitable one.
1t would be financial folly to advo-
cate any other ratio under existing
conditions; and the goldites know this.
Hence they do not advocate any other
ratio; but howl-to scare the people,
and to prevent them from having all
the money they ought to have-"50-
cent dollars!" A veritable contra
diction in terms, and they know it.
Bimetallists are ready to concede
that ratios have been changed and
may be again; but in order to ascer-
tain what the ratio ought to be con-
ditions must be such as to prevent dis
elimination between the metals; and
these conditions the United States is
powerful enough and rich enough to
establish unaided by and independent
of any European government. Before
silver was demone tized in 1879, silver
dollars were at premium of from two
to three cents above gold. That was
under free coinage. Would it not be
folly to change the ratio without some
evidence that it is not equitable?
Bimetallists favor free coinage OF
silver and gold by the United States
at the ratio of sixteen to one - the
present ratio-a ratio that differs but
little from the coinage ratios of the
governments of Europe and other por-
tions of the world. They favor this
because the business of the world
would be benefited by the infusion Of
more money into the channels of
trade. Bimetallists do not want an
inequitable ratio. If it is found that
sixteen to one is an inequitable ratio
after it has been tested, then it can
be changed by increasing or dimin.
ishing it as may be necessary. But in
all probability no change will be neces.
sary.
Does the country need more dol.
lars? Then coin them out of silver
and gold. The more the merrier. We
don't want dollars based on bonds, but
dollars that have the genuine metallic
ring to them, and that the tax payers
do not have to pay double interest on
interest not only to the banks but
to the bondholders. - Illinois State
Register.

Three hundred millions OF dollars
are now locked up in the treasury.
There are only $346,o00,000 of green
backs In existence. Thus a sum
amounting to seven-eighths of the
standard paper currency of the coun-
try is withdrawn from the uses of the
people at that time of year when
money is most pressingly needed for
active circulation. With the national
treasury full to repletion the people
cannot get money enough for the
transaction of their ordinary business,
And for what they do get the money
lenders are charging them an extor-
Tomato interest. This is one of the eff
fects of the single gold standard. How

FASHION FRILLs.
Notes ON the Latest in Gowns, Wrars
and Footwear for
the Ladies'.

Entire gowns Of heavy ack-knotted
silk with deep fringed edges are in
vogue for evening wear. They look
best over foundation of black silk.
The ostrich feather boa's popu.
larity is on the wane. Pussy boas OF
lace or chiffon or a combination OF
both are used instead and tulle and
net neck ruches also find favor. An
elaborate design is made of pale gray
chiffon, crossed with stripes of ecru
insertion and edged with killing of
ecru lace; fan-shaped ruche of the
same surrounds the neck.
A fashionable woman's approach is
heralded by the jingle of jewelry.
Charms are worn on neck chains, watch
chains and bracelets with utter inn
Partially, the newest ones being min
.ature bears, pigs, cats, dogs, salmon,
fox terriers, woodcocks and so on,
decorated with diamonds or other
precious stones.
A new tennis shoe, which is also
most comfortable for tramping or
cycling, is made of patent leather or
glace kid, or in tan, black or green
canvas with very low heel and sole
of solid rubber. A comfortable strap
across the instep keeps II on and at
the same time leaves the ankle abso-
lutely free. For general wear the but
toned boot, SO authorities say, will
supersede the laced shoe for winter
wear. This, however, is almost always
q matter of individual taste.
And now we are to have dresses of
metal! At least the English fashion
