HAT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
The Owner Tried to EcOnOmize, But
Her Efforts Met with Fear
full Results.

This is a plain, unvarnished story Of 3
lady who trimmed her own hat, She
was endeavoring to economic and con-
ceived the brilliant idea that by purchas-
ing the trimmings and the frame she could
construct a hat that would be quite as hide
Gus as the ordinary or extraordinary mil
linery creation and at much less cost. So
she made a dozen or more trips downtown
and finally had gathered together a trunk
full of bits of ribbon, steel buckles, gauze,
flowers, birds, fiber. chamois, bolts, rivets,
barbed wire, varnish, bicycle cement, gal
vanized iron, lincrusta walton and all the
singular ingredients of a woman's hat, to-
gether with fearful and wonderful frame
that looked much like wire waste basket
after tug of war with steam engine.
Then she haunted the display windows and
changed her mind something like thou
sand times regarding the manner in which
she would trim that hat.
She sewed on and ripped off the birds so
often that they looked much bedraggled
and were, indeed very sad looking birds.
but she finally succeeded in assembling the
hat and then, as she was going on a visit
to her mother and sisters, who lived in a
small city,, she wore the magnificent crea-
tion, calculating that they would go into
convulsions over her hat. And they did.
After they had kissed her several times and
assured her of their undying love her moth
er, who is a wise woman, with keen sense
of the proprieties, bade the elder of the un-
married sisters ring for the carriage. 81
am SO glad to see my dear daughter she
said, chat must buy her something. Now,
you drive down to the millinery store and
buy her the prettiest hat there before any
of her friends see her."
And after the economical daughter had
departed for the millinery store the remain
ing members of the family fell upon the
floor and screamed with laughter, for they

The Monetary Problem.


| tion of our mint in 1892, up to 1874.
| The three phrases, purchasing power,
purchasing value, or the eXchangeable
value of these two dollars, mean the
same thing, but it was constantly
| changing, and with either dollar citi-
zen of the United States could always
settle debts named in dollars under our
| flag. This function is fixed by statute
law, hence, we had two standards of
payment or two agents of payment for
So years. This function was taken away
from silver in 1S73-74, by law, and only
partially restored to silver in 1878.
Please note that this important legal
function of gold has never been tam
pered with under our laws. This tam
pering with the legal tender function
of silver is the main cause of our silver
trouble to-day. We have great many
silver dollars, but most unfortunately
they are not money, but only legal sub
stitutes for money, and will thus re-
main and tend to cause gold to appre-
ciate in eXchangeable value, until all
taint, either by statute law or by usage
as to their full legal tender power, shall
be removed by statute law.
| The silver franc is the monetary unit
under the French law. The French peo-
pie do not chatter as we do about the
silver standard or the gold standard,
simply because both silver and gold un-
der their laws are absolutely on par
as debt payers, although the silver

More than this, France has furnished
her people with an abundance of both
these kinds of coins, but she is not free
from financial difficulties.
Following our vicious example, on
July 8, 1878, Germany adopted the gold
standard, but that great empire has
never dared, even to this day, to de-
monetize about 100,000,00o silver thai
ers, yet in existence in their country,
absolutely on a par with gold as debt
payers.
There are a great many gold advo-
Gates who know, and are most openly
saying, we are not on a gold standard
| by law. Their efforts are being concen-
trated to have congress put us on gold
| standard by law. This move we de-
nounce as one of the most mischievous
pieces of unjust and revolutionary leg
| islation. Our financial difficulties have
been, and are still, bad enough for the
producers or warkingmen of America,
but this proposed financial revolution
would make them far worse. 1t is your

GUNSAULUS' ANCIENT HORSE.
An Equine Purchase of the Chicago
Divine In His Youth Which Dis
gusted His Father.

Once upon a time Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
the popular preacher, was a poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the houses of the deacons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend few days. His father, SO
the story goes, was a rough old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with vocabulary
more expressive than elegant
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself in possession of enough money to
ouy horse. He thought it would be better
o ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. 1t was a
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
it he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal
,.Where did ye git that hoss, Frank?" he
asked.
81 bought him cheap, father" said the
young preacher.
He's a sorry-lookin' critter, must say, %
said the father
"Well, father" said Frank, "you remem.

THE NATURAL RATIO.
Mr.. BOies Mistaken When He Asserts
That the Coinage Ratio Is
Not Essential.

Horace Boies has been interviewed
again, and he informs the public that
he is a "bimetallist." He would have
to be that or quit being a democrat.
The principles of democracy declare as
positively for gold and silver as the
basis for the nations monetary system
as they declare against high protection
and its products, which are industrial
monopolies, and discriminating laws
in the interest of capital combinations.
But Mr.. Boies is mistaken when he
says the coinage ratio is not essential,
says the Harrison County CO., Dem
ocrat. He seems to be under the i'm
preston that the ratio should conform
to the commercial value of the metals
in the arbitrary way. The history of
coinage does not justify Mr.. Boies' con-
clusion. If gold were demonetized and
silver made the only metal money of
final redemption, the present difference
between the coinage value of gold and
the commercial value of silver bullion
ences and mechanics could not find use
for nearly all the gold production, and
the market price for it would certainly
be made by a surplus in its anxiety to
sell. But having a fixed value for coin
age purposes, and its coinage being free
and unlimited, naturally and necessar-
lily its bullion value would be its coin
age value. The same thing would be
true of silver, but of no other metals,
because gold and silver are the only
metals that possess all the constitutions
al and other requisite qualities for
money metals. The experience of com
merce and money-changing for thou
sands of years proves this to be true.
But merely possessing the requisite
qualities does not make either one of
the metals legal tender money. That
is done by the fiat of the government
coming it, and the fiat fixes the quality
and the quantity-that is the fineness-
that shall constitute a legal tender for
specified purchasing and debt-paying
power. Less than so cents worth of
silver, bullion value, now has 100 cents
worth of debt-paying and purchasing
power because the fiat of the govern
ment makes it a legal tender for that
many cents, and the government itself
receives it at that value. After all,
therefore, it is the fiat of the govern
ment and not the qualities themselves
which the metals possess that makes
them money. Hundreds of years of
experience shows that the difference in
the quality of the metals produced fluc-
tuates from a fraction below to frac-
ton above 16 pounds of silver to
pound of gold. The ratio of production
is 16 to /. Therefore that is the natural
commercial ratio. Thirty-two to one
is the bankers ratio. The difference
between the bankers ratio and the
natural commercial ratio represents the
amount subtracted from the purchase
price of wheat and other products of
the farm, by an act Of government
(1S73) hostile to the producing millions
and friendly to dealers in money, bonds
and interest.
