SILVER, COTTON AND WHEAT.
The Relation Each Bears to The
Other.
l'oriluml Sun: Tho moKt iuiortatit
factor in Ihe pilver question is llm direct
eirect Iho bullion price of fiiivur liaH on
tho price of our cotton, wheat and other
corcils, and all thoto productR for tho sale
of which in the European markets e
aro brought into competition with oilier
nations that aro virtually on the silver
monetary basis.
. It is this fact which makes tlio rotnoti
etization of silver of urcater imjiorlsnre
to the citizens of the Unilfd Slates than
even the increased per upita circulation
of our primary or redemption money that
such legislation would provide.
Our greatest sources of revenue or
national wealth aro our staple products,
like cotton, wheat anil other cereals If
0'ir placters and farmers gut good prii-es
for their products, then tho whole nation
is prosjwrous; but if, as is ihe case today,
tho prico of their products in the world's
iimrKot is below the actual cost of pro
duction, then all classes of our citizens
must suffer, excepting those receiving
fixed salaries and tho money-lenders.
Even the inonej -lenders who holJ
much loiiK-liuic paper, must eventually
sufl'cr under a steady shrinkage of prices
extending over a period of years; for the
value of tho collateral given to secure a
loan, even tliougli worth seven! limes
the amount of the loan w hen the rau:c was
effected, must eventually shrink lelow
the amount of the loin itself. Hence
eventually ouly Uiat very small c!as of
our imputation who own no laud, pro
ducts or stocks, but have all their means
invested in first-class bonds and it will
be difiicultto find bonds that will remain
first class under the continuance if the
(ingle gold fctan Jard or have their means
in actual money or Miort-lirue well se
emed loans, and those who have fixed
s.ilaries can be beneGtlcd or even saved
from ultimate liiuucui ruin under a con
tinued fall in piice.s and values.
Our principal compeiitois in the Kuru
lean market for the biIho'' onion arc
India and Egypt, while Indij, Ku-mu ii
Ihe Argentine are our priiu-ip.il competi
tors for Iho tale of wheat and oilier
cereals. Thdt the pricn receiu-il lur our
surplus lixea the price of our home nur
kct is an economic axiom. India, lim
eia, Eyptaud the Argentina have been
virtually on a silver basis. The Unitd
States since 1S73 had I een upon sold
basia.
Suppose the Unittil States, India, Kus-
fcia, Egyut and the Argentine all pofse.s.5el
laud of equal fenility snd productivvr hm,
possetsed equal climatic conditions, trans
(ortalion facilities and rales to the
European market, and eqn.nl lan.i values
and lalwr scale of wages, as mca-urcd in
their respective currencies. Under these
assumptions let ns investigate as to what
effect a change in the iaterchangeability
or value of the money meUN aelins as
the !,iif vfihoFu rospi-live i-o:inliies
would have m tin- price i f their prod
ucts.
Asluiii a-the -AKrl-lV bullion val.ii-

,ft 20 21-11.0 per nunc-..), our comnstilors
beiiij: on a tlver basis, at.d we lsein on
a cold basis, jnst so Ions would all these
nations, under the previous assumption
of conditions, l on the saimr footing of
the sale of their t-urplus in the world's
market. When silver bullion rose abo e
our coinage nlue (tl.-JO 29 jr
our.cej. then the Unileil States would le
correspondingly benefitted U the extent
of that rise in the price of her rotti n,
wheat and other cereals export. When
ever the bullion price of t-ilver feil below
our coinaRe or cold valuation ($1.20 20-
100 K-r ounce) then our competitors. In
dia. Russia, Enyptand Argentine wnulil be
coresondini:ly benefitted by every joiiii
that ulyer fell in the price tliey would
git, or rather the cost at which thev
co-ild producn their cotton, wheat and
other cereal?, which condition would
continue under our previous assumption
jnst as long as an ounce of silver would
buy in these countries an equal amount
of land and labor regard Ie. of silver's
bullion value in lheworldV market.
It is today a fart conceded by the best
authorities that an tnmto of silver, worth
only 00 cents of gold in the world's mar
ket, will purchase as much land and
lab.-r in those countries now upon a stl
ver monetary basis as it would when
Bilver was selling over $1.20 per ounce
Hem e the result is, if all the above con
ditions were equal as far as land product
ivi netw and values, and labor's effective
ness and cott, and transportation 'ex
penses, then with silver bullion worth
CO rents tier ounce in the world's market
India and Egypt could pio.Inctf their cot
ton for 00-120 or less than one-hall cf
what it would cost the United States to
produce hpr cotton, and India and Itus
sia and w Ar;enlltii. could prodme
th&ir wheat and other cereals for 60-120
or less than one-half jf what it would
cost the linked States t'i produce her's.
Now, while as a matter of fact theie

as a certain weicnt of silver bullion con

on a silver nionelarr basis to greatly un
dersell the United States in t lie world's
market even with profit to themselves,
but groat loss to us as long as wn remain
on the (inch) gold monetary basts.
Thus it will bo easily seen an I under
stood that the higher tho wor'ld's bullion
value of silver the greater the benefit to
tho planters and farmeis ot tlioiJUnited
States, and consequently to all classes of
our country; whereas, the lower the bul
lion value the lower our planters and
farmers must bcII their products until, as
is shown today, the prices of our staple
products are far below the actual cost of
production.
It is for the reason that The Sun se
verely criticises tho idea of any change
of ratio above 10 to 1 and condemns the
idea of free coinage of the American pro
ducts, because by such latter legislation
tho world's bullion price of silver would
onlv be raised to the extent that the
American silver product would 1 e taken
out of tho world's snpplv.
TJrcos Yonr II air Carefully.
It is fashionablo just now to dress the
hair in undulating waves and to brush it
over tho ears at tho sides. A few little,
Eoft "Diana" curls are allowed to rest
on tho forehead, but tho hair is almost
invariably slightly parted in tho mid
dle. A good deal of discretion is neces
sary in dressing tho hair to adapt it to
each individual typo of face. Long, thin
faces should not have tho hair dressed
too high, as this accentuates tho length
of tho face. Bound, short faces should
havo tho coiffnro piled in fluffy curls on
tho top of the head, and a littlo butterfly
bow or fancy pin set nt jnst tho correct
angle will often have a very modliying
effect upon tho angularity of features.
Much latitudois permitted in haixdrefis
ing fashions, however, and every woman
should tako advantage of this latirndo
and adopt tho distinctive style which is
best suited to her features. It is better
even to sacrifice a littlo "high stylo"
than to dress one's hair in a fashionablo
way totally nnsnited to one's typo of
face. New York Becorder.
To 3Tako a Stock Collar.
In making tho newest stock collars for
very dressy use more than one material
is used. For example, a folded collar of
black velvet lined with cherry satin,
with large rosettes at each side made of
jetted velvet lined with the satin.
Again, a fancy bow of pink satin ribbon
arranged in front on a crush collar of
wine colored velours. Two rows of
golden brown satin edged faille ribbon
form -a stock collar, finished with a
rosetto of sago green chiffon placed each
sido near tho front Another pretty col
lar band is made of roso pink silk, the
wrinkled effect produced by shirring
tho silk at both edges. Directly in front
aro set two fans of white lace, held
down by a wrinkled crosspieco of the
silk. Tho beautiful lace is wired to
stand out stiffly about tho neck, and the
softly falling fan ends nearly cover the
top of the bodice. New Orleans Pica

Football.
Woman seems now to havo a task be
fore her in which we fear greatly she
will faiL Beport goes that femalo foot
ball teams will shortly contest in pub
lic, and the problem is now, on the one
hand, to make the performance grace
ful, and, on tho other, to not spoil tho
game. Those who havo witnessed the
modern developments of that noble
sport will probably doubt whether even
women will bo able to harmonize such
conflicting aims. Into this question wo
will not enter. Whether tho real gamo
played by women is n graceful or a dis-
graceinl sight Mrs. Grundy must de
cide, and whether tho gamo played in a
ladyhko manner 13 worth looking at
will doubtless Eoon bo settled by the
polite frequenters of the football field,
who, wo aro sure, will not bo backward
in expressing their opinion. British

The Isabella Colo.
Mrs. P. H. Palmer, president of tho
board of lay managers of tho World s
Columbian commission, has issued a
circular in which attention is called to
tho Isabella coin recently minted by o:
der of congress. The coin is intended to
commemorate tho fac that a board of
women was for tho first time called by
tho government to tako official part in
tho Columbian exposition and also to
honor the great Queen Isabella, whose
portrait it bears. Tho circular further
states that tho profit realized from the
sale of this coin shall be funded and tho
interest employed to effect permanent
Eervico to humanity. The price of tho
coin is $1, and orders may bo addressed
to tho Merchants' Loan and Trust com
pany, Chicago.
Tern Tables and Tea Trays.
Tho most approved tea table this sea
son is square two wooden trays mount
ed on four spindle legs: Tho upper tray
has an oval aperturo at cither end, so
that it can bo carried across a room with
ease. Such tables aro to bo found span
now at tho furniture warehouses, but
those that aro to be picked up at the
bric-a-braa shops are valued much more
highly. They aro not designed for their
present use, of course, and are, in point
of fact, qucridors of the latter part of
tho last century. Some pretty trays for
single or tete-a-toto sets aro made in the
form of a three leafed shamrock. They
are mostly in copper, the teapot and
sugar basin of the same metal, and the
cups and cream jug of whito eggshell
china.

will some time learn that veils figured

A MARVEL OF LONDON.
The Admirable Mannerln Which Its Street
Truffle Is Handled.
It has long been a marvel that, al
though foreigners sojourning In London
havo accustomed themselves topraiso
tho skill with which the street traffic of
this world city is handled, yet none of
them has carried the lesson home and
put It into practice in his own town.
Thero is no secret in the matter. The
information can be had for the asking,
and they that dwell in towns will be
tho gainers by it Well, then, how did
it come about?
Go to Hydo park corner any day In
tho season and watch tho streams of
traffic as they flow in and out of the
open space around the Wellington statue
thousands of cabs, omnibuses, drays,
private carnages, hand barrows; dog- ,
carts, bicycles every sort of thing that
can go on wheels. Chaos would come
again if itworo not for a policeman
hero, another thero and one at the oppo
site corner.
Hamilton place, at tho bottom of Park
lane, pours a strong current into Picca
dilly. Two policemen get you through
it without so much as a sneeze, s wink
or a loss of breath! Without tho two
policemen thero would be no getting
through. One of them controls the traffic
entering Hamilton place; tho other con
trols the traffic leaving it A motion of
the hand stops tho stream in PiccadiUy
and lets tho stream from Hamilton placo
flow in, or vice versa. No matter who
you are, or what you ara driving in, or
in how great a hurry you may be cab
man or costermonger, dukedriving a
four-in-hand, coachman of a prince,
with his royal highness impatiently
waiting in his red lined carriage you
must stop when tho policeman's hand is
raised, and yon may not go on again un
til it is lowered.
Break tho rule, and you shall see
what happens a summons to the police
court and a fine, whether you aro coster,
cabman, dnko or his high mightiness
himself. Is this antocracry or democracy?
Call it what yon choose, it is good man
agement Without it London would be
impossible, because it would bo impass
able. There is. no "slanging," no "sassing
back," no pictnrcsquo objurgation of
any sort If yon inaka a disturbance, so
much tho worse for you, not for your
bones, or for your flesh, but for your
convenience and your pocketbook, and
peradventuro yonr reputation as a peace
able subject Tho policeman does not
flourish a "billy." He does not carry
one. He docs not abuse you or lay hands
upon you. He is imperturbable, and ho
produces a notebook and takes down
your name and address, wishes yon good
morning; and the next day yon aro sum
moned to the polico court There Is bo
shilly shally. Tho wholo thing is done
on tho principle of paying the piper if
yon chooso to dance. Boston Herald.
Attacked by a Rhinoceros.
The author of "Discovery of Lakes
Budolf and Stefanio" had shot a zebra,
and Ips men were making ready to cut it
up, when two rhinoceroses appeared in
the. distance. Apparently tho firing o;
tho gun had disturbed" their riap"anrl
mado them thoroughly angry.
Though more than 400 paces off, tho
rhinoceroses swerved aside when they
saw ns and then dashed upon us with
tho speed of raco horses. As usual, my
black companions tcok to their heels,
making for a solitary trco soma distance
off. It was hopeless for mo to think of
reaching it, and there was not so much
as a blade of straw for cover anywhere.
And behind the dead zebra, which would
have been better than nothing, three of
my men were already crouching.
Thero was nothing for it but to brave
the situation out, so I knelt on one knee,
the better to take aim, and with my
elephant gun in hand waited to fire tin.
I could hope to kilL It seemed a long
timo before I could cover tho shoulder
of cither of the huge beasts, and I knew
any other shot would bo useless. The
result was that I did not pull the trig
ger till one cf the animals was only
some eight or ten paces off.
It staggered and fell, but the next
moment was on its feet again. It wa3
not killed, but its ardor was cooled, for
it turned away, followed by its compan
ion. Twice it seemed about to fall, and
I did not think a second shot would be
necessary, but it got away with undi
minished speed, and though wo followed
it for somo distance wo lost it
Flea For Second Class Cars.
William Gates, tho veteran ticket
agent, is of tho opinion that America
could profit by adopting at least cne
feature of European railway service. "I
beliovo that wo woald secure n largo
amount of travel which wo do not now
seenro by adopting tho second class fea
ture," said he. "Tho luxurious manner
in which our largo sleepers and chair
cars aro constructed involves an enor
mous expense. Tho fellows who do not
use theso cars aro obliged to pay for tho
luxuries enjoyed bywcalthiertravelers.
Tho companies aro obliged to charge a
uniformly high rate of mileage in order
to furnish swell service. I advocate hav
ing a. strictly second class train between
hero and Now York. Put the prico at
$10. I am positive that it would greatly
increaso travel. Put it on a slow sched
ule. Tho people who patronizo it would
not expect 'flier service, and as long as
it carried thorn over the ground they
would be satisfied. Tho train would be
well patronized from this station. Then
tho first clas3 trains could be made
strictly first class, and each fellow would
pay for tho service ho required. I would
like to see it tried. "Toledo Blade.
