Getting Two for One.

\ politician who as a candidate
figured in the scattering column
has called lat the City HaIlin behalf
Of a plan to cut down the cost OF
living one half at a single stroke
He proposes to do this by an or
dinance revising the tables OF
weights and measures, eniarging
the pint to a quart, the foot to II
inches, and so on through the
list. The idea is far from new.
In the exciting presidential cam
paign of 1896 the paramount is
sue was movement to declare
by law 40 cents worth Of silver
to be an American dollar. With
out waiting for the consent Of
anv other nation silver in unlim
tied quantities was to be turned
into legal tender so-called dollars
at the arbitrary ratio Of IL to J..
The project took so strong hold
upon the Democratic party that
it cast that year the largest total
vote in all its history. But it
was not enough By a popular
plurality Of over 100000, and a
large electoral majority, it was
| decided that an American dollar
should be the same as 100 cents
in gold. A statute to this effect
is one of the great number OF
notable things to be found in the
| Republican record of the past
/ fifty years.
! Centuries ago the same sort OF
craftsmanship made a stir when
it was proposed by British in
