dollar in payment Of their deposits? Not
bit of it. Would they have refused Silver
Certificates? Not on your life. Silver and
gold, as redemption money, should never
have been divorced, and coin certificates should
be issued redeemable in either coin, and the
Secretary of the Treasury should be compelled
to pay out whichever coin he may happen to
have an excess of in redeeming said coin GER
tifcates, or in payment Of bonds or any other
obligations of the government. Such law
would keep the bulk Of the coin certificates
in circulation, as they would be lighter to
carry, and preferable to coin in large quaint
ties. Those Triple, interchangeable Coin and
Coin Certificates should be kept at par by
laws preventing gold contracts and STIMULATING
that the word Coin or Currency should be
used-the word 'Coin" to mean either gold
or silver. The word "gold'' should be elm
mated from all future bonds or other obliga-
tons or individuals. The issue Of Coin GER
tifcates and the coinage Of silver and gold, all
three as circulating medium should go on
until our per capita circulation exceeds any
country in the world. During the campaign
of 1896 large quantities of Mexican silver dol
lars were imported and displayed in the win
dows Of business houses in our large cities
as an Eobject lesson'' to turn our people
against silver-the cleanest incest metal for
coinage in the world and more free from loss
by abrasion. At the same time our American
standard silver dollars were circulating at
par-worth 100 cents on the dollar yet not
redeemable in gold, and not dollar in gold
behind it.
These men knew full we'll that had those
same Mexican silver dollars been run through
an American mint and been made a legal
tender by law, they would have been
worth 100 cents to the dollar in gold
What makes our standard silver dollar and
our silver certificates worth 100 cents on the
dollar today when neither is redeemable in
gold? Legislation. What makes 20 silver
half dollars, 40 silver quarters or 100 silver
dimes worth as much as a $40 gold eagle9
Legislation. What makes 5 nickels or 25 cop
per cents full legal tender up to the amount
named, though the intrinsic value is mere
nothing? Notwithstanding else.
Suppose Congress, in 1873 had demonetized
gold and made the silver dollar the standard
coin and full legal tender? Would not the
price Of gold bullion have deprecated? IF not,
why not? 1t is up to a Wall Street shark
to answer the question.
How much longer will our American people
be duped by Wall Street sharks?

port of the Taft meeting at the Auditorium
last night in the world-Herald, and must
say thai a paper that would resort TO
such falsehoods amt such statements Is
not worthy of the respect of the people
and honest readers. I don't suppose a
man ever appeared at the Auditorium VINO
was more Enthusiastically received than
Mr.. Taft. When the world-Herald says
"a murmur Of applause ran through the
audience" It knew It was publishing a
brazen falsehood. For did not the people
rise almost to a man anc repeat 1t two or
three times? You can read between the
lines I'm this report that the great recep-
ton accorded the candidate scared them.
The Herald knew that report would go
to hundreds of people that were not there
ard perhaps never read the truth, so they
would mislead them. A man that has to
be elected by methods of this kind would
be a dangerous man In office. II the voters
would only look at this report rightly

LOCKERS OF THE FAMILY
Maine Hotel Keeper DEMONSTRATED
that Yankee shrewdness IL
Not n Lost Art.

Thirsty New Workers who spend their
summers down east beyond Portland agree
that Maine is a very dry state. The pro-
hibition law works overtime.
II a hotel has a bar, that forbidden place
is harder to get into than society. Drug
gests demand a legitimate physicians
prescription before they will consent to
part with a little hard liquor at a large
price. But the tourist who convinces the
crafty hotel proprietor that he's what he
pretends to be. can sometimes moisten a
dinner. Here's how.
A party Of New Workers went down to
a little shore hotel celebrated for its din
ners. A cocktail appeared for a starter
and champagne at the proper time. Moth
ing was said of the methods which brought
about the result and a week later one Of
the guests, arranging a return spread to
repay his obligations, sought out the pro-
prietor to arrange for the party. The de-
tails Of the dinner were speedily arranged.
"Now-er-ahem," continued the New
Yorker, when we were down here be.
fore we had some champagne. I know
this is a prohibition state. but isn't there
some way we can get some more of it?"
The proprietor looked him over carefully.
That was from my private locker" he

well, there's more. isn't there?' per-
sisted the host. ,
"Ya-a-s, 1 think there's one bottle"
"All right" replied the New Yorker.

OMAHA, Oct. 3.-To the Editor of The
Bee: My dear old friend, Mrs. Catherine
c. Lacey. whose good name long since be-
came a classic in the social life of omaha
has given her friends a rare souvenir by
the publication Of a choice selection of her
poems. written in other days. The little
volume comes to them in an attractive
form, and bears the fitting title of "Remi-
niscences," although not a few Of these
verses rise to a plane much higher than
simple "reminiscences. In this class Win
ter is conspicuous. in which the wild
notes DER hill and dale of our most rig

fidelity.

Not the least interesting feature Of the
