TO RETIRE SILVER DOLLARS.


we commend the following from the
Salt Lake Herald to the perusal Of
veal sneei bi.metalista who believe
there is no moro work for the Silver
PARTY Of Nevada OF Of other bimetallic
organizations that strove for the nor.
absorbsinn of the double by the SINGLE
standard:
II is difficult TO conceive a moro PERM.
cious piece of legislation than the bill
which is designed TO permit the secre-
tary OF the treasury to redeem 81! yer
dollars in gold. Laying aside all ques-
tons OF sentiment. all talk Of "assasein-
stinR' silver again, the result Of such an
act could not he other than disastrous
to the country. The ultimate obitc: Of
the men behind the bill Is obvious.
They wish 10 retire the silver dollar al
together from circulation.
This must be their object. for they
are surely not go blinu that they cauuot
see the endless chain which they are
creating. To permit the exchange OF
silver for gold and then put the silver
into circulation again, would quickly de.
nude the TREASURY II its supply OF the
yellow coin and uecessitate a bond issue
for the purpose Of maintaining the en-
ormous reserve which would be re.
quiIed. This wa the case with the
greenbacks, 1t must inevitably be The
case again.
To prevent the bond issue a cry to re.
tire the silver dollar would 30 up. Such
q step would druin from the arteries Of
trade and commerce hundreds OF mil.
Lions OF dollars. The value OF gold
would I've en- financed proportionntely and
the United States would nave the dear
est dol ar it has ever known. We hear
a great deal about tile dishonesty Of
free coinage. Advocates Of the measure
have been called by all the hard names
which lImitless vocabularies Of invective
could supply.
What, then. must be said Of the man
who, looming money when it is cheap.
seeks to make it twice rs hard for the
debtor to meet HE obligation Us it was
for the creditor to secure the money to
mako the lonn? Isn't that the most
despicable form of dishonest!H Tho
silger dollar is today used for countless
purposes at its full face value. 1t can
never 60 10 a discount because tho law
limits its number. No American is ever
gong to part with his dollar for less
than 100 cents.
No reason can be presented of sufi-
cient strength TO justify the enactment
OF the bill now before Congress. AR
gued down to its final analysis it be-
comes simply IN effort by the money
trusts to make it easier to corner the
wealth Of tie country. The people are
too prosperous, hard cash Is too pIenti.
full therefore the law must BE- invoked
to strip the Taxpayers OF their holdings.

MUCH MARRIED PEOPLE.
Remarkable Matrimonial Records OF
Women who Had Many
HuEbnnds.

a Spanish journal has unearthed o
remarkable case of n woman who has
six times been n widow in six years
and is on the eve of taking n seventh
husband. This calls to mind other
notable cases of the sort. Lady Eliz-
abcth Percy, in the seventeenth cen
fury, was twice n widow and three
times n wife before she was out OF
her sixteenth year. The third man
who married this much-married girl
was the duke of Somerset, Charles
s-ymour. ~&s rtooA ~ .he eszan Of
Charles III. after his death and by
the throne of George ii. ut his
browning. He WAS n notable figure
in six reigns. lie was well married
into the family which has become
known in history as the proud Per-
cys." When his young wife, Lady
Elizabeth Percy, died, the duke be-
came the husband of Lady Charlotte
Finch, and II is recorded that when
his lady once tapped him on the
shoulder the duke urneu round and
said: Madam, my first wife was a
Percy. and she would never have
taken such n liberty"
John Evelyn in his diary tells q
story before which the record OF the
Spanish lGdy palcs. Toward the end
of August he writes, 81 returned TO
Haarleon. They showed us n cottage
where they told us dwelt n woman
who had been married to her twenty
fifth husband, and. being now a wild
ow, was prohibited to marry in the
future: yet it could not be proved
hat she had ever made away with
any of her husbands. though the sus-
picion had brought her divers times
into trouble.
