MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Mr. L. F. Perdue wrote acommunicat on for last Sunday's Express in regard to a statement which appeared in this column the day before. Man About Town had remarked on the fact that the people had ar rived at the stage of education on the silver question when they found the apparent Inconsistencies in the arguements of both sides, and told of a doubt that had crept i.ito the mind of a sound money Democrat. It was if it were not possible that the parity of the silver dollar with gold would be established by the lifting of the market price of the $40,000,000 of silver used in the arts, the advance the price to be caused by the ability of the holder of the bullion to get $1.29 for it from Uncle Sam. Mr. Perdue proceeds to auswer this by saying that it woold be a fictitious value and that the price Oi commodities would advance. In other words, he proceeds with the argument applicable to the debased value dol~ dar and not the parity dollar. We have in truth a debjsed value dollar now but it is also a parity dollar, so that Mr. Perdue's reply does not meet the point. I* the dollar is brought to a parity by whatever means, and is maintained at a parity, the price of commodities will not advance, else why do they not do so now What I insist is the best sound money argument, is that 1 bis parity can not be established, or at least maintained, by the free aud unlimited coinage of silver except by requiring Uncle Sam to g've his credit to the dollar. The experience under the laws of 1878 and ISDOdemonstvatetbatfsct.to my mind, to sav nothing of the experience of other enlightened nations. The more of the 16 to 1 do11a--s we coined uuder the two laws the greater the disparity in the values of /gold and silver. Nothing but Uncle Sam's credit and good faith make:? these dollars worth 100 cents. If Uncle Sam were to go out of business, liquidate and pay all he staods good for, he would have to make up the dlfTe-ence in the value of these dolla-s and if we should coin more /of them, with bis stamp on them, some day if he is morally honest he would have to pay the diTerence. Of course he could do it, but he would have to tax the people to get the mouey. The only question in my mind is as to how great a burden of partly flat money he could bear.

I found tber#, were some half Informed persons who thought Man About Town had b.en advocating free silver, because in gossiping about the discussion of the question he recited what is being said about town. The hope of success for the sound money dause in November is in the free and full consideration of all the point* In this silver question. You cau't elect McKinley by marching In the midd'e of the street and shouting yourself ho: aud calling other people names because they do not join In the noisy demonstration. The best way to get the voters to line up for McKioley at the polls is to tell them all about this silver question, pro and con. Their judgment may be depended on if they kuow all sides of the question. My own opinion is that the KapubMcan cause would be farther advanced now if the educational campaign had begun tuootbs earlier if the storm had becu sooner dV covered. A year ago this month I w.tKe for The Mail in commcutiug on the re usal of England, then just announced by Mr. Balfour, to send a representative to the proposed International conference, that this would tend to deflue the Jswue 'hat "bi-metallists" would have to get down off of the fence and be for or against the &old standard. I wrote: "Those persons who have been saying they art* for t(e double standard of money wben an interna- tonal agreenieut has beeu entered into w»!l b*ve .to say whether they will advocate tbe gold standard alone, because it is now made that. there is no prospect of a a intowAwi onal agreement." Some of those who

re

'f

now so jealous of the Republican oause

no doubt were then aaylog tliey we** *'b'uietallists." Indeed, up to the i'me of the St. Louis convention vhey were afraid of the word "gold.'* Inasmuch as some of these people, who perhaps do not know Anything of the isute itself, have questioned Man About Town's fealty to tbe sound money cause, let it be said that for fi "teen years he has been wilting 'n favor of it, and a year ago c: pressed bis contempt for those who were then too cowardly to meet the irmie squarely, by writing the following for The Mail: oat the politicians and ed'tots wiM fa'.i back on remains to be seen. It has been a convergent means of dodging the Issue to say that you are a friend of silver «f it can be recogntxed by an international agreement. Many persons have reao -d to tb's Hod of talk without really know .ng what it meant. Now tbey will hare to discover where they \-vre at! on the silver question,"

t« The union meeting of the mil road brothI erhoodst last Sunday, w«s a success or failu'* according to the staudpo^t from which it bt vbwed. A* a smt'og of m'V road tnea alone ttwaa* very creditable asIf eeuibiKge. but as a mass meeting of all elaKse* of organinod labor It w«s a dismal failure, aud that was the kind of a meeting it was intended to be and the kind that it ,( was advertiM& to tn up to the time it w*« called to order.

of the brotherhoods was not represented. Indeed, organized labor deliberately and with malice aforethought remained away and snubbed those who invited it to be present. The trade unions do not feel any too kindly toward the railroad labor organization which, until the past few years, would not eyen join in a public mass meeting with o&er labor organizations. For that matter hntil the past few years you could not get the various ra'lroad brotherhoods to come together, and both Arthur and Sargent in their speeches said there is yet too mach jealousy. It is anew thing for Chief Arthur to be around extending the glad hand to other railroad organizations. Grand Master Sargent showed that he felt the snub. Tbe meeting was held under the auspices of the firemen and no doubt Mr. Sargent would have been pleased had the workingmen of his former home and the former home of bis organization, turned out in large numbers. There can be no doubt that the friendly feeling for Debs among the Terre Haute workingmen had much to do with their failure to accept tbe invitation from Mi*. Sargent's organization. And, it was significant that when Austin, the secretary of the telegraphers' organisation, fn his address hit at Debs, that even the brotherhood men did not jre ceive bis remarks with favor.

Chief Arthur, of the engineers, is a fine looking, well groomed, elderly man. He, too, spoke with some feeling. Indeed, all through the meeting there was evident a feel'ng that the chiefs and gvand masters were eadeavo'iug to make an impression in their own favor and in 'aror of their organ' *a ion here at the home of *he raiload labor Jeader who Fays toe Old brotherhoods have passed the day of their usefulness. Arthur's idea

Ojlthe

relation of the

employe to the employer crept out in his statement that when he was a wiper and afterward a fireman he always "knew his pfece." lhat is what we say of servants in the sense of servility. He wanted the men present to remember tbat the companies did them favors and be referred to the fact that the Pennsylvania company hal furnished a special train for the meeting. That was all rice enough, but Mr. Arthur did not tell the men that since the Pennsylvania company had taken control of tbe Vaudalia system the old contract with h5s brotherhood had beeu utterly ignored that the company does not recoguize the existence of an organization which has paid Mr. Arthur a handsoro salary for many years. The traveling cards of bis crgav' -.atlon, which used to be good for a ride over the Vaudalia ate no longer recognized, and the organization has not bad tbe temerity to ask the officials if the old schedule contract is annulled. ludeed, the new management cared so little for Mr. A ibur's organization that it did not dot tbe courtesy to notify it that the contract bad beeu annulled, but simply began putt* ig more work on the men than was called for iu the coutract made with Mr. Williams wben he was general manager.

Friday is city day but the citizens did not take to the fair tb's year for one teason or another, perhaps tbe most general cause belrg toe bard times. There ate many more persons than one would suppose who are economizing in small ways like saving the fifty cents or a dollar that would be spent by go'pg to, the fair. The race purses were twice as much as last ear, but cost tbe association lrss by some hundreds of dollars than did those of last year. In other words, more horses were entered and thereby more entrance fees received.

Miss Laura Ray a teacher in the Normal school branch of the city school system was killed by a fall from her b'cycle Thursday at the Hlcklln hill, six miles west of the city on the Paris road.

Dr. Hunt, of Macksville was summoned aud made an effort to restore her to cohsciousness but she died at 1 o'clock in the aiternoon without having been able to tell how the accident happened. It was supposed she was thrown from the wheel while coasting down the steep bill. She was on her way to ber home in Illinois, just over the Illinois line. Miss Ray had many friends in this city.

importance of prompt paymiiit during my {a rm of years in the baot^lnd shoe business. I finished my tvrob^-eighth year the 12th of this month. During that time I have bought many thousand dollars' worth of boots, shoes, dippers, rubbers, etc., and have the first time yet to fail in my payments. Always paid one hundred cents to the dollar. With this record I met the manufacturer (they know the tricks and standing of all our merchants) who appreciated me, and gave me as a reward prices which surprised me, and make me think of how glad my old patrons will be when these goods are opened for their inspection. They cannot, get them made and delivered to me before Seytember 1, but in the meantime I will reduce my present elegant stock to a figure correspondingly low. On my extreme summer goods I have the price cut very 16w. To itemise my ready bargains would jcost top much si will await your call and If cash ever counted you will realize it.
