BOYCOTTED BY BANKS

MONEY KINGS ALL ARRAYED AGAINST SILVER. Action of the New York Hankers Looks Like Constructive TreasonGreat Confidence Game of the Jj old Cons pi r a t o r s. It Will Not Down. ,; The most recent attack on the money and property of the people Is the boycott of the New York banks against silver. If this Is not constructive treason, what Is it? It used to be that an attempt to discredit the coin of the realm was treated as a capital offense, and hearts have fallen for just such tiring. The silver dollars are by law legal tender for 100 cents, and to do as the banks of New York are doing is to discredit the coin of the United States. No wonder John Sherman says that business has no "substantial revival anil no promise of return of general prosperity under present circumstances." No man knows hotter than Mr. Sherman that a restoration of anything like general prosperity as matters are now is one of the things against natural causes. But this boycott is not all for in money affairs, as in all else, whom the Sods wish to destroy they first make mad. All over the country and in every goldbug newspaper the revival of business is heralded, and the press dispatches an- edited to spread the word. In some directions, as Mr. Sherman says, "business conditions have improved over what they have been" for the very good reason that in some directions to do business at all was to Improve. But there is one fact that runs along witl this improvement that the gold press does not mention at all. That is that these "revivals in business follow the rise in the price of silveras sureiy as high and low barometer tells the state of the atmosphere. Silver has been steadily going up, and Is now in round numbers selling at 70 cents or exact quotations were on Thursday J7 and 0I cents. Holders of silver bullion are expecting it to go to 75 and SO cents. The rise of silver certilicates was very seriously discussed in Wall street on Thursday, and hopes were expressed that 7o cent silver would start up low grade ore minis and keep the priee from going higher. It appears that the confidence game of the gold conspirators is not disposed to let the real cause of the "improved "business become known if they can help it, as the result of the discussion, we are told, was this: "The committee on sound financial legislation of the chamber of commerce met In secret today. It was announced after the meet Ing that the memliers were entirely in accord on the decision to keep up the fight against the silver movement throughout the West and Southwest-." So It is a "light". these high-toned people are engaged in against silver. It Js not the divine nature of gold that makes it the only fit money metal, but It Is a "light" against the on.? metal that prevents its monopoly of values and the logical ownership of the world's productive energies. Business is improving simply because silver is rising from i0 cents to 7 cents is a big rise in the face of a 'light'" by the mont-y power oi lex world. Aud why the'iise? Simpij Do cause the business oL the silver using nations- f cur-fifths of the human rac lias begun to rally from the stagnation brought upon ;t Try the "light io destroy &ilver in the I'nited Stat'-.,. They nerd the silver, and to supply this want advances the pr o of silver In the market. The conditions of trade ai becoming normal again in those countries and the consequent call for silver has even improved business in our own country. This is the truth. Mr. Cohlbug, as plain as the nose on your lace. Kansas City Journal. A ll'm Humbug. The financial world has been made to feel that unless the "gold reserve" is maintained disaster would follow, whereas if there were not a gold dollar Actual In the treasury it would not lessen the actual bond security one iota. It's one of those unaccountable bugaboos that must be of pecuniary value to a large number or wealthy men, or so much pairs would not be taken to feare people. I acknowledge now that to reduce the reserve would be disastrous, but for no sensible reason. Just think! The hundred millions Is kept up, for what? To redeem a lond ahd circulating medium of about twenty-five times as much. What would you think of a bank that had $1 security for $-." in circulation? When the world knows that the entire wealth of this country' is the real security, inside of a few years It will look back in wonder at the gullibility of a whole nation on this subject. Cor. New York Herald. Silver and Labor IM ward Atkinson and other goldbugs tell the workingmen that under bimetallism their dollars would not tiring them so much in commodities as now. Says the Manufacturer: "The work'nginan cannot be interested to maintain a condition of things which givj'S him a smaller number of dollars In return for his toil und its product. "With respect to actual money, ho is a purchaser, not a mere spender. What he is particularly interested In, surely is not that a non-producer, owning dollars, shall give as few dollars as possible for the workman's product; but rather that that product shall have the power to purchase dollars in the largest possible quantity." River Wholly DiMcarded. Silver bullion is now wholly discarded in the United States. Not an ounce of our production can be turned into fijonejr. There Is, therefore, no market

price of silver, valued as a money met al. in this country and consequently no way to dettTtnlne the commercial value Independently' of legal proportions and open mints, because both commercial market price and intrinsic money are dominated by that demand of tho ndnts created by law. It is more logical to say silver is worth 50 cents per ouiee. because the law has closed th ; mints against it, than to say the lav closed the mints against silver because it is worth Ö0 cents per ounce. Utterly untenable is the proposition that w must ascertain the commercvlal price of the two metals independently of tho legally made money value and then fix the ratio of law to correspond with the fiuotuating ratio of commerce.

Uryan on Uimctallism. W. J. Uryan. in a speech at Shelbyvllle, Ind., delinod bimetallism as moaning the use ot gold and silver as standard money, with equal privileges at the mint and equal legal-tender qualities, with silver not redeemable in gold, nor gold In silver, but that the metals should stand side by side In supporting commerce. Silver money should not be a mere promise to pay some other kind of money, but a real money, capable of discharging contracts payable In money. The ratio Id to 1, he said, means that a silver dollar shall weigh sixteen times as much as a gold dollar; that tin debt-paying power of an ounco of gold shall be sixteen times that of an ounce of silver. The reason for coining silver is not because the country produces it, but because the country needs it to form a basis for our currency. It is a practical necessity, rather than a theory, because there is not sufficient gold. The use of both metals as standard money gives a uniform volume of currency and a more stable dollar, Just as a river fed from two streams is more uniform in volume than a river having but one feeder. The Kcal KcRolution. A special from Atlanta, Ca., says: "W. C. Whidby, one of the assistant secretaries of the Farmers" Agricultural Congress, snys that by mistake the resolutions on finance on his desk were improperly indexed, and that the report of the action was slightly inaccurate, though the convention declared heartily and by an overwhelming majority for the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold. Major Whidby says that in Justice to the congress it should be understood that their declaration was clearly and unequivocally in favor of free and unlimited coinage. The following is the resolution as adopted in full and by an overwhelming majority: "Kosolved, That we favor the freo and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at an agreed ratio, guarded by an Import duty on foreign bullion and foreign coin equal to the difference between the bullion value and the coinage value of the metal at the date of importation, whenever the bullion value of tho meal is loss than its coin value." Shows the Conspiracy. It has been repeatedly denied that the Secretary of the Treasury ever declined to pay out silver in exchange for gold. The following extract in response to a resolution of Congress calling for a report on same on the part of John CI. Carlisle is quoted verbatim: Treasury Department, Ollice of the Secretary, Washington, 1). C, Aug. 17. 1N1KI. In further response to the resolution I have to say that recently gold coin has been presented to the ollice of this department and silver dollars asked in exchange therefor, and that the exchange was not made for the reason that all the silver dollars in the treasury at the tiino were required, under the provisions of tho law relating to the currency, to be held in the treasury to cover outstanding silver certificates and treasury notes issued under the act of .Inly 14, 1SJJO. At present the department wuld not and could not exchange silver dollars for gold coin if requested to do so by holders of gold, for the same reason. Hut if the condition of the funds of the treasury were such as to afford a margin of silver dollars in excess of silver certificates and treasury notes outstanding, such change would bo made.

Why should we force something on them which is of no consequent until the money question is settled?

A Noticeable Fuct. One fact is very noticeable to every newspaper reader, and that is that the gold press Is not offering the IlorrHarvey debate for sale and never mention the debate except in a sneering way. Ilorr's writings are not frequently quoted as formerly by the press. That Horr was worsted in the argument was not his fault, as he did the best that the cause he advocated would admit of. Truth was against Müs. Cininintx (iromid. The silver sentiment Is gaining ground, and manifestations in Its favor alarm the bankers ami money changers. These classes seek to affect silver demonetization by meeting together and passing resolutions In favor of the narrow gold measure. Their selfishness Is too well known to have Influence with the non money lending class. "On with the dancel" Pacific Coast Bullion.

Not long ago I met a young lady in poverty whom I had previously known in wealth, and this was. in substance, the story she told nie: "Father died suddenly in Washington, and the professional skill through which he had coined money for use died with him. I am Hot weeping because we are poor. I am broken-hearted because none of us mw that lie was dying. Was it not pitiful that he should not think it best to tell any of us that he was sick? And I. his pet teil daughter, though 1 knew he was taking opium to soothe Ids great pain, was so absorbed by my lovers, my games and my dresses, that I just hoped it would all come right. If 1 could only remember that even once I had pitied his suffering or felt anxious about ids life, I might hear his loss better!" The story is 10111111011 enough. Many a father, year after year, goes in and out of Iiis home carrying the burden and doing the labor of life, while those whom he tenderly loves hold with but careless hands all of honor and gold he wins by toil and pain. Then some day Iiis head ami hands can work no more! And the hearts that have not learned the great lesson of unselfish love while love was their teacher must now begin their sad duty when love has left them alone forever.

Hints for Girl liachclors. Marriage is a lottery. P.argains are usually expensive luxuries. Prettiness is the least of a woman's attractions. Fluffs and frills are out of pla.-e in a business ollice. Jewelry should not be worn during working hours. Affectation is readily detected and generally despised. A white chiffon veil cures many faults in the complexion. One can be thoroughly womanly and yet do "a man's work." No woman, no matter how poor, can afford to be badly dressed. It is not wise to confide too freely even in one's dearest friend. A chafing dish is not a satisfactory substitute for a kitchen range. Perfect cleanliness is the first law of the relined woman's nature. It is desirable to be as adept with the needle as with the bicycle. All thought of work should be banished during one's leisure hours. It does not pay to economize in food, nor to lunch on tea and crackers. One cannot follow a professional and a social career at the same time. It is a sign of advancing years to have a passion for cats and canary birds. It is not the essential mark of a great mind to scorn the darning of stockings. It is not comfortable to be in lore with more than two men at the same time. Tear.-; and confidences should he very sparingly indulged in during business hours. It is advisable to save at least ouethird of one's income, wlritever that income may be. New York World. Privileged to Wear Mi-iim Clothes. Kosa Itonheur began to work .seriously at painting when she was about 1Ö and donned male attire so that she could go about to fairs and slaughter houses without attracting attention.

It is amazing that with their wellknown good taste American women dress so badly on the street. They dress more expensively and with more lavish display than the women of other countries, but they dress badly all the same.

One has only to stroll along the fash-

ionable avenues any pleasant day to see scores of women walking unattended and decked out with such a Haunting of colors and such a piling on of feath- ! ers. ribhons and exaggerated pufferies as would make a tVeigner'ilouht their respectability, and yet they are unquestionably respectable. All classes of women from the shop girls up to the queen of tin Tour Hundred show themselves guilty of this unseemly fondness for garish show, and violate daily what would le regarded in Kurope as the fundamental principle of good taste in dross.

Chapped lips, fever blisters and the like come often from bad digestion, says the New York World. Chronic sore nioinh may be rubbed with oil or rosewater and glycerine, or with camphorated ice. Citron ointment is reliable and very ellicacious for this dilliculty. The face itself should not be anointed with cold i ream unless very much chapped; otheisvise it gives an oily look .and enlarges .'lie pores. Cocoa butter or pure sweet oil are better for the purpose, especially the former, which will improve Wut texture of the skin wonderfully in a sl,.rt time.

Punctuality lias little merit in their eyes, and regard for their employers' time still less. A man who oinjloys a typewriter in his otlicc was growüng about this last the other day. The g'l! is a good operator, a fair speller and in many ways satisfactory. She is, however, one of those specimens of femininity who have a dozen or so intimate girl friends. These run after her in a perfect string all day long, and it is seldom that there isi.'i one at least of them in the ollice. "Sometimes." said he. "there are three or four there at once, and th y sit and stare and giggle and act as though I were an interloper. I don't like it. and I have told her so, but it is of little use." The business woman should understand and abide by business principles if she expects to succeed. A (lorjicons Wcddiiiir (iown.

The bodice is also trimin.d with deep frills of lace caught on tho shoulders with the same bridal bl ssoms. and the veil of misty tulle is fastened with a mixture of magnificence and simplicity in the shape of diamond j and orange blossoms. This model can. however, be imitated in less costly material, and on a bride's head orange blossoms can dispense for the'.r effect ieii with glittering diamonds.

Mr. Whittingten resides mar Waveh:nd and a one of the iirst farms stttled in that -tion.

The apples are large, perfect and of splendid iiavor 1 here are many varieties and most of them different from any known there before. Mr. Whittingten states that the eross-poHeiiization has brought out new varieties in his orchard. Those who have used oniy grafted trees ate greatly struck by the success of Mr. Whittingten's seedlings. Marsh Fires Again Kaeiu'T. Marsh tires have again broken out in the Kankakee regions, and are raging with unrelenting fury. A dispatch says that the tire moved to the southeast at a rapid rate, burning over live a. res of ground on an average every hour. Horses, wagons and presses ami buildings have been cremated.

He had bought some cider and put it in a tin can. The family drank of it, and it made them nil sick. He went out to examine the cider, and held a lighted match over the hole in the can. when it suddenly exploded with a loud noise. He was badly burniil about, the head and face, and it. is feared that his eyes were destroyed. It is believed, however, he will recover Iiis sight. A New Keadini; Circle.

LIFE-TASKS.

Many Cre;t Men Perform Ill-Re-quitcd Labor. We cf'e:i speak admiringly of th wonderful patience ,,f the monkish scribes of the Middle Ages, who were willing to devote ari entire life to the copying and embellishing of a single book; ami the inference is that such patient devotion to a single task is un. known at the present day. This is not a fact. The field of modern science is fuii of effort which is equally prolonged, equally painstaking, and in many i casos oallly obscure. We have in our observatories men who are spending their lives in entering Into great books, night by night, figures which merely go to make tables from which our descendants, a century hence, shall be able to calculate the procession of the equinoxes. Perhaps the most monumental lifetasks performed in the present century have been In the field of botany, in which certain indefatigable men have, undertaken to make a flora each of his own country. In those Horas, we are to have not merely a list of all the P'anis 111 any country, but a full account and description of every plant, j What this work mav be is shown hv j PR0 or two special eases.

In this country Prof. Asa Cray, our most distinguished botanist, began the "Flora of North America" at about his twenty-fifth year of age. The first number of it appeared in W.s. Cray died in lss. and the work was then about half finished. During all that time his work on tl.e liora never was interrupted for more than a briet' period, though other tasks were performed meantime. Sir Joseph Hooker began the "Flora of British India" about forty years ago. Only one volume of it remains to be completed, and if Sir Joseph's life Is spared he may hope to accomplish his great, task. During all these two score years the work has constantly engaged his attention. Martin's "Flora of Brazil" was begun in lsid, and is still incomplete, though It is steadily progressing. Cossen, a French botanist, died before th" completion of his "Flora of Algeria." Practically only two groat fonts, those of Australia and the Orient, were successfully completed by their original authors the first by Bcniham. the second by Boissier. They are splendid monuuments to the learned men who made them. In the field of biological investigation many men, and women too. are engaged In minute and patient researches into some primitive and apparently insignificant form of 'ife which It wi l t ;ke them many years to complete.
