How
To Invest
Small Amounts.
This is a problem that puzzles
more than one man who saves a
portion of his salary. The fol
lowing letter gives the result of
an investment in a Toutine
Policy of the
Equitable Life.

There is no form of investment
to-day that ofTers such absolute

Senator Vo.irliees in open
ing the tat iff debate in the
Senate made lit tie us" of his ex
t fa ordinary oratorical pow
er. He just gave a plain
straightfo ward talk, large
ly iu the nature of an. expla
nation of the changes made
in the bill by the Sen.itacom
mitteeof which he is .chair
man, and hiving special
stress upon the urgent neces
sity for speedy action. Ac
cording to the present pro
gramme, very few s"t speech
es will be matte by the other
democratic niemhers of the
Finance committee, and no
attempt to limit the debate
will be made until the repub
licans have been given ample
.opportunity to state their
objections to the bill.
I am glad to be able to
state positively that there is
obsolutely no truth in the
published statement that
democrats who nre dissatis
fied with President Cleveland
veto of the Bland bill intend
to vote for a free coinage a
mendinent to the tariff bill.
Xot a single democratic Sen
ator who favors silver will
say that he isin favor ofsr.ch
an amendment, and Mr.
Bland, who certainly has the
right to speak for the silver
democrats n the House, if
any one man has he has
been their leader, both in this
and in a number of previous
Congresses-flia raeterized the
idea as "an outrage and a
crime" that would do no
good and would, if carried
out, iesult in the certain de
feat of both tariff rctorm and
free coinage

A democratic Public Printer

is to be filled by a demo -rat.
Mr. Benedict is not only a
good democrat, but, as pro
ven by his record when in
con t it il if the office, he is a
good Public Printer. There
will probably not be one sin
gle objection raised in the
Senate to the confirmation
of his nomination.
Secretary 'Jarlisle has be

that he would not know

fore he. went over to Xew

change and recreation that
his visit would be made the
basis for a lot of more or less
ridiculousstories, and he wa
not disappointed by the re
sult. New York Herald: The U.

Tii men upon wlnmi tin

and Southern men who las:

i ii . i
sacrili -e they had made for
him. They had hoped that
the President's approval ol
the bill would give them a leg
to stand on. so to speak.
when they went before their
constituents in ihe fall elec
tions. Xow they have lost
everything, and are in t h e
depths of despair.'
Senator Bate, of Tennessee,
says:
"i am sure that the Presi
dent fully appreciates the fact
that seven eights of the votes
of democracy were inlavorot
the passage of the Bland bill.
The men who repre
sent thedemoci a tic party are
plainly and unequivocally di
rected to hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the
standard money of the coun
try, and the platform on
which they were elected calls
for the c ;iin.ige of both gold
and silver at the mints with
out cMscri nidation against
either metal. This is the re
nl is,sue.
"How does the veto effect
the democratic, party?" was
iisked of Mr. Bryan, of Xe
braska. 'Which is the democratic
party?' was the qoick reply,
Mr. Cleveland or the people
who elected him? The States
which gave Mr. Cleveland
more than two-t birds of his
electoral votes gave only six
democratic votes against the
seigniorage bill in both House
and Senate. Do the people
of these States know w h a t
sound tinance requires, or
does Mr. Cleveland alone un
derstand the question? It is
a contest between the North
eastern idea of finance and
the itiea entertained by the
rest of the country, a n d it
must be fought out at the
ballot box,"
The Richmond Dispatch's
Washington special of 31st

'Letters received by many
Southern Congressmen since
the President vetoed the
Bland seigniorage bill seem
to indicate that his action
wasa great oisiipptaninieir.

The Atlanta Con-titu! ion
says:
'Ye call the attention of
"ur contemporary to the fact
that Air.e; !t iin si!v r dollars

That is not the case. It is

not convertible into gold by

The Ulanta Constitution,
one of t he ablest o? newspa
pers and very strong in its
financial discussions, says.
"A Democratic Congress, de
ceived and misled by its con
fidence in the Executive, has
wiiied silver out of our cur
rency as the money of final
payment and established the
single gold standard. And
now the people are told that
there can be no more ad
ditions to their eurrency un
less there is also an issue of
bonds.
The emergency calls for the
courage and patriotism of
an Andrew Jackson, but the
man who stands in Andrew
