one that scarcer of the two.

disfranchisement of “ilv* r as a money metal, which seems to be the aim ofthe gold extremists at Washington, means a violent and ruinous contraction of values. The mere throat of it has already given the first sharp twist to the screws of contrac-

tion.

“To persist in the total elimination of silver from our currency is madness. The load of the gold monometallists has been followed far enough. It is time to call a halt and demand that silver shall be put back in place it held 80 years, from the formation of the government down to

1873, and made again one ofthe main pillars of the American system cf currency and coinage. “To postpone the definite readjustment of our currency laws, leaving silver demonetized and its use as a standard money metal wholly prohibited, would precipitate a financial and business catastrophe compared with which all past panics would seem to have been more bugaboos. Absolute gold monometallism spells ruin, universal and unsparing ruin, for the people of this country. “The single gold standard has never been sanctioned or desired by the people of this country. This will has been over and over again expressed to the contrary at every election and in every Congress for 16 years past. Their determination that silver shall not be outlawed at the mints has been clearly and forcibly shown by overwhelming majorities in both branches of Congress. It never was stronger than it is to-day. “The clamor ofthe money changers, the usurers and the stock gamblers, inspired by the English influence that radiates from Lombard street and which represents the organized rapacity of the world, has not shaken the faith of the American masses one iota in the honesty, the justice, the fairness, and above all, the vital necessity of maintaining silver side by side with gold in their national money system. “The people must raise their voices now and demand their own salvation. If silver be not restored quickly to free coinage, the most optimist man cannot look forward six months without fear. Millions of unemployed, wageless men, with their wives and children crying for bread that cannot be earned them, will be hard to reason with. “Repeal the act of 1890, readmit silver to free coinage at a new and reasonable ratio, and do it quickly. That and nothing less than that, will put the business of the country firmly on feet again, give new heart to capital, new hope to labor and restore good times throughout the land.” Empty the Stockings. A word to the people about currency. A great deal has been said to the governing powers upon giving the people enough money. As usual, the people have more power over business than have all the executive, legislation and judicial departments. We want and have labored for a sufficient currency supply. What good would a greater currency supply do if the people stuck it away in their stockings as fast as they got it? Last week in New York an astonishing phenomenon was witnessed. Brokers were hunting through the express offices and retail stores for currency, and paying from 3 to 4} per cent premium. Such a scarcity of money was never felt in New York. Of course it is a healthy indication in one respect. It proves that all our dollars are regarded as sound. Every kind is in demand silver notes, greenbacks, ba: k notes, certificates and coin. Ali this scarcity is bad for business. And the people are making the scarcity. It hi they who are forcing difficulties upon the handling of crops and the distribution of products. From every quarter there is a strident call for currency. The people have it under lock and key. They can beat John Sherman to death in contracting the currency when they try and they are a long way more than half trying th summer. The press 1 j been arguing in favor of an equitable money supply. Its argument h :s been generally addressed to Congress in behalf of the people. Now the money supply on hand is being narrowed by the people themselves, and the appeal for more currency must be addressed to them. Loosen up. Unlock the deposit boxes and set money to moving. Turn the stockings inside out and give the dollars ot our daddies and all the other kinds of dollars a chance to do the work they were issued to do. The country is cramped. Government bond 0 are nnahle to raise cash. It is a ridiculous as well as painful situation. MADE HE!] OT 10 DIE,

The infant terrible invaded the Art building at the World’s Fair one day recently, and did its best to create a small-sized riot. It was of the feminine

persuasion, but it took such a delightfully impersonal view of things in general that its femininity was temporarily lost sight of. Its age might have been 10 or thereabouts, and it was slim and agile as a young fawn. It was accompanied by its maternal relative,who,several times during their progress through the galleries. was heard to express herself as wishing she had never been born. Sometimes she varied this by wishing that it had never been born, but, however she expressed her wish,she seemed to have an abiding sense that the population of the country was too large by one. They came down the long room in the United States section, and it had some trouble with the more mysterious part of its wardrobe—presumably a garter from tho direction of its efforts. 1 his would not have been so serious had not it seized the opportunity of remedying the defect just as three rather lively young men approached, and in so doing displaying a perfectly incredible amount of bare, pink skin. The young men discreetly averted their eyes and the mother swooped down upon her child and made a somewhat ineffectual attempt to surround it. The mother whispered something in its ear, which called out a protest iu a high-pitched childish voice. “ Let me alone," it said petulantly. “I've got to tix my ” Here the mother placed her hand over the mouth of the angelic child and squelched what perhaps might have been a damaging disclosure.

SHE WANTED TO GO IN SWIMMING, plumage, it airily stepped over to the other side of the gallery. “Oh. mamma," it presently shrilled out, “come over and see the girl with purple legs. ” And then,ns the mother hurried across in an agony of mortification, it continued: “What makes the girl's legs purple, mamma? What must I hush for? Her legs are purple, aren't they? I didn't do it, did I?" The mother was a beautiful carnation by this time and had got rather past whispered remonstrances. “Elsie,” she said, very sternly, “you mustn’t talk about such thir js. it isn't nice for little girls. ” 'r “1 don’t know why not,” retorted the infant, indignantly. “They ought not to put people with purple legs up on the wall if they don't want little girls to talk about them. I’m nice enough, it’s the girl with the purple legs that isn’t nice.* The mother dragged it away at this juncture, and partly by threats; partly by promises, kept it quiet for at least a minute. Then it hazarded a chance remark for the benefit of any whom it might concern. “I don't think much of these pictures anyhow,” it said, glumly. “I don’t think they amount to much." Another moment of thankful quiet on the part of the mother was interrupted by the discovery of Harrison's picture of “The Bathers." This elicited a delighted squeal. The pictures will be remembered as one that impresses everyone as being a wonderful bit of outdoor flesh painting, but while all are impressed by its beauties few care to distinguish themselves by halting directly before it. The infant,however, had no such scruples. “Isn’t that nice, mamma?” it cried. “Isn't tnat lovely? Don't you wish you were there?" The mother was

The Beauty Standard. The standard of female loveliness varies greatly in different countries aud with individual tastes. Some prefer the plump and buxom type; some admire the slender and sylph-like, and some the tall and queenly maiden. But among all people of the Caucasian race, one point of beauty is always admired—a pure, clear and spotless complexion —whether the female be of the blonde, brunette, or hazel-eyed type. This first great requisite of loveliness can be assured only by a pure state of the blood, active liver, good appetite and digestion, all of which are secured by the use of Dr. Fierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is guaranteed to accomplish all that is claimed for it, or money refunded. If you would have a clear, lovely complexion, free from eruptions, moth patches, spots and blemishes, use the “Golden Medical Discovery.”
