May 27, 1896 THEY SHOULD BE FOR SILVER. The Republican leaders who sup port McKinley have been endeavor ing to thrust the tariff question to the frpnt and send the silver ques tion to the rear, but if they were really consistent they wo'uld drop the tariff question altogether and go -in with might and main for. the free coinage of silver. The fact is we do not see if they are sincere in their utterances as to what the effect of free coinage will be, how they can -oppose it without stultifying them selves. There are protectionists who support McKinley and also favor the free coinage of silver,- as the protec tionists of Colorado, California, Nevada, and some of the other Western States do. They are con sistent. But we speak hereof the protectionists of the gold stripe who are loud for protection and equally loud in their opposition to the free coinage of silver, which if adopted, and they speak truly, would be one of j the most effective protection measures ever devised, with which a protective tariff would bear no com parison. The object of all tariff protective legislation is to prevent as far as possible the importation of foreign manufactures, thus protect our own manufacturers from foreign competi tion and give them the full swing of the home market. The more effect--ually a tariff does this the better it is from a protective standpoint. A tariff which does not keep out for eign manufactures is no protective tariff :or only partially so. The leg is lation, whether of a tariff or other character, which keeps '"out foreign manufactures gives thorough and perfect protection. The gold standard Republicans who believe in protection oppose the nomination of McKinley because he declines to commit himself to the gold standard, but at the same time inconsistently declare that they are opposed to the free coinage of silver because it would result in putting this country on a silver basis and then European nations which have the gold standard would refuse to sell us anything. If that were so wouldn't it accomplish what the pro tectionists have been endeavoring to accomplish' for years by means of their protective tariffs which have steadily been growing more and more prohibitory in their scope? If European manufacturers re fused to sell us anything for our sil ver money, wouldn't that put an end at once to European competition and give our manufacturers clean sweep of our home market, and make for eign "pauper labor" a thing no more to be dreaded by American work men? What more protection could the manufacturer or his workmen ask than that? With it they might quit harping on tariff protection al together, for it would be completely overshadowednd. knocked out by ree coinage, whichwwQTdToaTrari(t more than tariff protection ever did or hoped to do. rg t This couldn't operate, or only par tially if at all, against these nations buying from us, for they bay only what they are compelled to have and can't buy from other countries on better terms. They would still buy our foodstuffs as they do now, per haps not so much, but what they did buy they would have to pay us gold for and then their gold would i . , ue lommg in to increase our stock of gold Instead oi our gold go ing out to settle our balances, thus diminishing our stock of gold and compelling us to borrow to keep it up. We would thus, if the opponents of free coinage be true prophets, ac complish two things; one of which is to cut off the importation of foreign manufactures, which all protection ists want to see, that is if they be really protectionists. The other is to check the drain upon our gold stock and bring gold in instead of 1 carrying it out. It might be said that this would so , decrease oar exports, as our imports fell off, that it would throw a large surplus on the hands ot our farmers, but they can't say that without fur nishing an argument against any kind of protection whfch has a tendency to reduce imports, for it would be an admission that' there is a re ciprocal relation between the voJU ume of our exports and imports, and that the fewer the imports the worse it would be for our farmers. But this objection wouldn't really hold if there be anything In the theory of the protective tariff building up great home markets. Wouldn't the absolute exclusion of foreign goods, such as they contend would result from the free coinage of silver, give a mighty stimulus to home manufac tures, build up gieat manufacturing industries, give employment and good wages to thousands upon thou sands of workmen in addition to those now employed, and thus build up great home markets to consume, the products of the farms and make our farmers entirely independent of foreign markets? Of course it would, if there be anything in the theory of protection to the manufac turerer, and as a builder up of home markets to benefit the farmer. If the effect of free coinage would be what they say it would, it would do all this and riot Only give the American manufacturer and work man all the protection they wanted, but would be a daisy thing for the armer too. As we view it, we do not see how a real protectionist can consistently oppose free coinage if he believes it will cut off foreign goods as he says it will. MINOR MENTION. The action of the Senate in voting to consider the bin proniDitmg the issue of bonds without the con sent of Congress has riled the gold organs, irrespective qf party, and some of them have become wrought up even to the pitch of desperation. The Philadelphia Record is, on gen eral principles, a pretty level headed paper, but it is rabid On the gold question. It insists on gold abso- utely, laughs at bimetallism by "in ternational agreement," and wouldn't have if it could. Recognizing the probability that the free silver men will be in the majority in the Chicago Convention, it takes this action of the Senate as a pretext and flies off at the handle thus: Since the purpose of the Silvermon- gers at Chicago has already been so clearly defined, there need be no ques tion as to the intentions of the Demo cratic friends of sound money in the premises. The desertion of the cause of sound money by a majority in the convention would be a signal for a revolt and for the reorganization of the Democratic party, with the complete elimination of the cheap silver element. There could be no possible compromise upon a straddling platform and a half faced candidate. If the Sllvermongers should triumph at Chicago the only hope of the Democratic party for the future would lie in tne counter-nomination of a candidate for the Presidency upon whom the votes of the Sound Money Democracy of every 5tate could be concentrated. In case the threatened disruption should take place there can be no question as to the side on which the overwhelming majority of the Dem ocratic voters would be found after the ballots should have been counted. If the Sound Money Democracy should be driven at Chicago to revolt against cheap currency and repudiation they would keep with them the organization. the principles and the name of the party of Jefferson. Jackson and Benton. ,The triumph of Free Silver at Chicago would be a distinct abandonment of Democracy. The adherents of the spurious, democ racy professed by Vest and Morgan, the Populists who acknowledge Peffer, ot Kansas, and Stewart, of Nevada, as their leaders and the Silver Republican fol lowers of Teller, of Colorado, would be fused in a party of a larger Populism. but such a party could neither borrow nor steal the livery of Democracy. This is the recognized Democratic organ of Pennsylvania talking, and trying to justify its pre-determined refusal to yield to the will of the majority by a mess of "sound money" rot that has been hashed and rehashed a thousand times by the so called "sound money" organs, and shown as many times to be rot by the opponents of gold monometal- ism. Anticipating being "driven to revolt" a cause which has been con templated by some of the gold lead ers since it has become apparent that the silver men will be in the major ity at Chicagothey are now trying to justify in advance the contem- olated "revolt." Of course the Re cord does not speak for itself only, but in these rabid utterances speaks for many, if not all, of the gold standard Democrats of that State. The editor of the Record and Mr, Harrity, chaiiman of Democratic Na tional Committee, stand pretty close to each other politically, and in view alleged plan to knock threat ening bolters out, it might be in or der for the committee to put some questions to the gentlemen for whom the Record talks. ' . - . - We have expressed the opinion that Senator Hill made a great mis take by his persistent opposition to the bond-sale' investigating resolu tions of Senator Peffer. There is little doubt that those resolutions were inspired by the hope that poli tical capital might be made out of them whether they were adopted or rejected. More political capital could be made out of them by the rejection than by the adoption, and for this reason Senator Hill made a mistake in opposing, as a friend of the administration, their adoption senator maimer is also a friend of the administration. He made mistake, Monday, when an effort was made to fix a time for taking a final vote on the bill prohibit ing the issuing of bonds without consent of Congress, when he ob jected and added that unanimous consent could not be secured for that purpose. As Senator Hill was supposed to be speaking for the ad ministration in the bond-investiga ting resolutions, so Senator Palmer will be credited with speaking for the administration on this bond bill. Practically - speaking, the vote wouldn't amount to anything more haiT an expression of the sentiment of the Senate, as there is not tb slightest chance of the bill becom ing a law, for it couldn't pass the House, and if it did it couldnJt be passed over the President's veto. But by this opposition oF Senator Palmer the opposition to the admin istration is given the opportu nity to . say and ring it in the press and onthe stump that the administration which, it is charged. is manipulated by the syndicates and y ... u bondholders, is choking ofl action by Congress which would compel it to listen to 'and obey the will of the people, as, expressed by their repre sentatives, in the matter of the sale of bonds. That's the construction that will be put upon Senator Palmer's course, and that may do much more harm than any possible action by the Senate on the bond bill could do. , Mr. Post, of Texas, a nut grower who is well posted on that business, advises Southern farmers to plant the Japanese mammoth chestnut, the Japanese walnut, the English walnut and the pecan.

He was also convict ed for carrying a pistol, and sent to the Iredell county loads for eighteen months, during the pendency of his appeal. On last Sunday morning Pearson made a mysterious escape from the chain gang. In addition to bis term on the chain gang, Pear son has a case pending in the Su preme Court which will send him to the penitentiary for ten years if It is pecided against him.

When the Washington woman unpacked her trunks the other day, she took, out a fearful and wonderful looking garment made of a heavy striped brocade the kind our grandmothers used to describe as "able to stand alone." "What Is it?" I asked eagerly. "It's 'a I dressing gown," she replied; stroking the rich folds in serene content ment. I "Won't you put it on?" I bogged. She threw, it over her : shoulders and turned slowly around . to give mo a com plete view. There was a shallow yoke cov ered with bias folds, below which the gown itself, as well as the sleeves, was put on with a deep gauging, so exquisitely done that it seemed like the same material wo ven in a narrower stripe. The sleeves were larger than ever devised by mortal dress maker, and there was about the ensemble ap impressive air not usually associated with negligo gowns of any sort. "Where did you get the patternf" I ask ed timidly. " From tho chief justice of the United States, '. was tho answer, "and tho gown was made by the soft voiced old gentle woman who makes all tho gowns for tho jnst ices of the' supremo court. It occurred to me one day when I was at the court that the gowns worn on the bench 'would make tho loveliest dressing gowns in tho world, so I hunted up the old lady and persuaded her as a special favor;' to copy the design for me." I was telling a clever man about this unique wrapper and was surprised and dis pleased to hear -his peals of laughter. "You ought to sec it," said I reproach fully. "It's tho prettiest thing I've seen to wear for a twelvemonth." "I daro say it is," lie admitted. "I was not laughing at tho gown, but at the ad ditional light the incident throws upon feminine, character. I bclievo a woman would wear anything she thought becom ing, with indifference as to its suitability. She would copy the vestments of the grand llama for a tea gown if she thought they suited her style, and without compunction too. I actually saw at a ball the other night a gown made of oriental embroider ies, and tho wearer was waltzing about tho room unconsciously proclaiming with every swish of her skirts that 'Allah is Al lah, and Mohammed 'is his prophet.' If religion is not safo from tho incursions of feminine vanity, it is not surprising that tho judiciary should have failed to escape. " Chicago Mail. WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

Kemr. . -:' y.: An aotivO man, comfortably fed and clothed, writes William Muir, consumes about three pounds of sol ids and four pounds of fluids per day and wears out about two suits of clothes in a year. . ' The value of agricultural produce garnered in the United Kingdom and consumed by its- human beings, " taken at present farm prices, is (per annum) about 230, 000, 000. The val ue of agricultural products imported from abroad and similarly consum ed, taken at similar prices, is (per annum) about 200,000,000. This includes cotton and wool. The value of coal similarly consumed burned for domestio purposes taken at the full mine value of 8 shillings per ton, is (per annum) about 16,000, 000 The sum spent in keeping dwelling houses in repair is (per an num) about 10, 000,000. The total of these sums is 456, 000,000 and is the cost of the nation for a year's food, clothing, firing and shelter. In other words, it" is the sum paid by tho total population to those who have direct aocess ta nature, who labor and garner her products for all. Manufacturing, distributing and retailing add about 80 per "cent to these values, but the addition does not concern us. Four hundred and fifty-six million pounds divided by the population, 38,000,000, gives 12 per head, which, therefore, is the value of the prod ucts of nature annually consumed in the United Kingdom by one hu man being, taking both sexes and all ages and ranks together. In other words, this sum is the annual aver age cost of a person. Expenditure in tho United Kingdom avorages 30 per head, but 18 of this pays for services, not products services such as the manufacturing, distributing and retailing referred to above and other services, all of which support persons who have no direct access to the soil and who therefore must pay others for their share of its products. - Rich and poor men are of the same size. A millionaire's stomach and back are anatomically identical -with those of a laboring man.. Therefore equal numbers of rich and poor con sume equal weights of produce iu equal times. But this is not the same thing as equal vyalues. We have just seen that tho average an nual value is 12, and we may fair ly take it that the case of the agri cultural laborer will give us the minimum value. An average Brit ish family is husband, wife and three children. The income of an agricultural la borer's family (cash and perquisites) oan fairly be taken at 50 a year. Of this they will pay about half for services (not products) to nonagri cultural workers, who may be sum med up as grocer, draper, school master, builder and policeman, so that we have 25 left as the cost of the food, clothing, firing and shelter of such a family valued as above. Say husband 7, wife 6, three chil dren 4 each. This is a minimum. Much consideration has led me to decide that as a maximum we may fairly take the imaginary case of a man who lives entirely on the most costly agriculturalproduce that is garnered in quantity namely, beef steaks at sixpence per pound, farm value. At three pounds per day such a man's annual cost for food will be 27; 13 more, which would make 40 in all, will cover every thing else he personally consumes, for he shares his big house with scores of other people and parte with his clothes to others while they are as good as new. We may therefore fairly conclude that the cost of a man in Great Brit ain is about: Per annum. , Minimum.... 7 Average , li Maximum.. , 4C Saturday Review. Not Pretty, bat Valuable. . In discussing the risks which pro fessional ball players run and the prevalence of decrepit and crippled fingers in tho profession, the base ball editor of the New York Herald recalls the case of Silver Flint, once a famous catcher, whoso hands were mutilated and pounded out of shape. Back in the eighties Flint was in a railroad wreck in Illinois. When they dug him out he was badly skinned and somewhat stunned. Several surgeons who wore at the scene of the accident began a hasty examination of the half conscious baseball catcher to discover what in juries ho had recoived. They found none until they raised his right hand. It was bloody (from a cut in the wrist), and of course in its nat ural unshapeliness. "Good heav ens !" exclaimed one of the surgeons, "the poor fellow hasn't a whole bone in his hand. It will have to be am putated. " Silver was regaining con sciousness and heard the doctor's decision. Jerking the member from tho would be amputator's grasp, he yelled: "Cut it off, eh? Well, I guess not !
