PUBLIC OPINION. We clip the following from the Public Ledger of Philadelphia: Senator Voorhees made his third ineffectual attempt to hasten a vote upon the bill for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the

Sherman law. In his argument he maintained, which is incontestably true, that there is in the Senate a majority

favorable to the repeal; that the will of the majority being, under our form of government, the law of all, the minority should yield to it and to the voice of

public opinion, which proclaims the will and power of the majority. Sena-

tor Teller, who represents in the Senate of the United States the most selfish and sordid interests of the miners and

gulchers of Colorado, and who in this contest represents no defensible princi-

ples whatsoever, denied that public opinion was favorable to repeal, or that

there had been any expression of it sufficient to justify Mr. Voorhees' state-

ment. The United Press report of his remarks states: "He asserted, on the contrary, that public opinion was in favor of the de-

fear of the bill which the Senator from Indiana was championing with all the zeal of a new convert. The Senator had

not taken public opinion. He had not heard from the people who toil. He had not heard from the productive agencies

of the country. He had not heard from the men who work in mills, in factories, in mines, and on the farms. His ears had been closed to those classes of the people and open to Wall street and to great metropolitan newspapers that lived in the atmosphere of Wall street.

He had listened to aggregated capital and to avarice and greed, which could

see in the demonetization of silver an opportunity to add to their hoards, ill-gotten in many cases, and much too large in many others."

Public opinion was never more dis-

tinctly, more emphatically or decisively expressed than it was on the day that the House, by the overwhelming majority of 130, passed the bill of repeal. It was expressed in the most practical manner; in the revival of activity in every kind of business; in the passing of stringency from the money market; in the advance of prices

along the whole list of securities on 'Change. Finance, commerce, industry

immediately threw off the depression and inertness which their fears of the substitution of silver for gold; of the displacement of the universally accepted certain, safe and honest standard of monetary value by an uncertain, un-

safe and dishonest one had fastened upon them. And the expression of public opinion came clearest, strongest

and most decisive from "the people who toil," from "the men who work in mills, in factories, in mines, and on the

farms." Their voices were heard above all others in favor of the repeal of the Sherman act,

as the vote for repeal by the House had opened again the mills and factories and mines in which they had formerly worked, and which had been closed against them during the period that the

fear of the indefinite operations of the Silver law had destroyed financial con-

fidence and threatened to wreck public and private credit by the setting up of a debased monetary standard of value.

The men who toil have reason to de-

mand repeal, for they are, more than any others, interested in it; repeal

means to them the work and wages by which they, their wives and children live.

Senator Teller should recall for his own enlightenment the words that a greater, wiser, more public-spirited

statesman than himself addressed to the Senate in 1834, which were true then, and which are true now. Daniel Web-

ster said:

"The very man of all others, who has the deepest interest in a sound cur-

rency, and who suffers most by mis-

chievous legislation in money matters, is the man who earns his daily bread by his daily toil."

In his letter of February 24, 1885, to certain members of Congress, expressing his views in favor of the repeal of the Silver Coinage act of 1878, Mr. Cleveland, then President-elect, said

that such "a financial crisis" as would certainly follow the ultimate expulsion

of gold by silver, "would involve the people of every city and every state in the Union in a prolonged and disastrous trouble. The renewal of business enterprise and prosperity so ardently desired and so near at hand would be

hopelessly postponed. * * * In every workshop, factory, store, and on

every railroad and farm the wages of labor, already depressed, would suffer

still further depression by a scaling down of the purchasing power of every so-called dollar paid into the hands of toil." In his first annual message to Congress, in 1885, President Cleveland declared that the country had been saved

from the financial disaster threatened by the continued excessive coinage of

silver largely by "a confident expecta-

tion that the course of the Government with regard to silver coinage would be

speedily changed by the action of Con-

gress," and he continued:

"Prosperity hesitates upon the thres-

hold because of the dangers and un-

certainties surrounding this question.

Capital timidly shrinks from trade, and investors are unwilling to take the

chance of the questionable shape in which their money will be returned to them, while enterprise halts at a risk against which care and sagacious man-

agement do not protect.

"As a necessary consequence labor lacks employment, and suffering and distress are visited upon a portion of our fellow citizens especially entitled to the careful consideration of those charged with the duties of legislation.

No interest appeals to us so strongly for a safe and stable currency, as the vast army of the unemployed."

The President concluded by recommending the suspension of Congress of the compulsory coinage of silver dollars

under the Bland law of 1878, as he in August last recommended the suspension of the compulsory purchase of silver by the repeal by Congress of the Sherman law of 1890. If the foregoing

extracts from President Cleveland's letter and message the words "silver

purchase be substituted for "silver coinage," what he said will be not less but more appropriate and pertinent to this time than to the time when he said

it. Senator Teller no doubt knows all this as well as President Cleveland; but with a light-weight silver dollar to in-

fluence his contention he declares that it is not public opinion as voiced by the men who work in the mills, in the factories, in mines and on the farms, but with as it is voiced by the men whose money is invested in mills, factories, mines

and farms, and who give work and wages to the other men, as if it were

possible for one class to suffer from unfavorable financial conditions without the other suffering also. Senator Teller cannot be so ignorant as not to know that the worst sufferers recently from the effect of the Silver bill of 1890 were not the capitalists who employed "the people who toil," but "the people who

toil," to whom the capitalists could not continue to give work and wages. Sen-

ator Teller must know, as others do, that the moment that, by the vote of

the House for repeal, it was confidently believed by the employers of men that they would be relieved from the inju-

rious effects of the Sherman law they started up the stopped wheels of trade,

which financial stringency had locked, and those who toil were given employment. Now business again halts, fear-

ing lest the Tellers, Stewarts and other supporters of the mine and gulch own-

ers, whose sordid interests are opposed to those of the toilers, may too long delay or even prevent the repeal of the compulsory silver purchase act, which public opinion so strenuously demands shall be speedily repealed.

ECONOMY IN THE KITCHEN. There may be room for exaggeration in the statements of Edward Atkinson

as to the cost of healthful food for a man and how it may be prepared nutritiously. But when he claims that a man can live on ten cents a day, having good food, plenty of it, and cooked in a more appetizing way than is the rule in ninety-nine out of a hundred house-

holds, and is willing to risk his reputa-

tion on the truth of his statements, it becomes worth while to look into his theories. Every one may not be able to get as good and economical results from his plans as Mr. Atkinson does, but if only half the benefit is derived it will be a long advance on present methods. Mr. Atkinson estimates that the food, fuel and liquor bill of the country is about $6,000,000,000 annually and that at least one-quarter of this is wasted in bad buying and poor cooking. If the

$4,500,000,000 lost every year were the only result it might be borne with equanimity, but more than this is the ill health, the loss of physical power through insufficient nutrition, and the demand of the barbarously treated

stomach for stimulants. From these causes come poverty, intemperance and crime. The liquor saloon is looked upon as one of the greatest of crime

schools. But if the full effects of badly chosen and badly cooked food could be traced and calculated it would probably

be discovered that the kitchen is a greater breeder of criminals than the grog shop. The ideas of any man who

proposes to lessen the effects of this great source of crime and suffering de-

serve attention. The standard of daily food for an American workman is 450 grams of starchy material, 100 grams of fat and 100 grams of nitrogenous material.

These are the quantities adopted in the German army from long experiments

as necessary to a soldier doing active duty. Mr. Atkinson makes up the following dietary containing the above elements in the right proportion: Twelve ounces of flour, four ounces of oatmeal or cornmeal, two ounces of beef suet or oleomargarine, one ounce of sugar, five ounces of potatoes, four

ounces of onions, beets, turnips, etc., sixteen ounces of shin beef and two ounces of bacon or salt pork. This

would make forty-six ounces of food containing more than the requisite nutrition for a working man. And Mr. Atkinson insists that it can be bought and cooked, including the seasoning, for five or six cents a meal.

The Aladdin Oven, which Mr. Atkin-

son invented and gave to the public without reserving any patent rights, has heretofore been a part of his system of economical cooking. But he has

discovered that a much simpler form of an oven will give nearly as good results.

It consists of a kerosene lamp for heating purposes; a box or low table with a sheet iron top with a hole in it for the

lamp chimney; some narrow strips of soapstone built around this hole and

supporting a broad tile placed tightly over them furnishes the resting place for the food while cooking, and when the half of a clean beer barrel is turned over this the oven is complete. The idea is to confine the heat, a large per-

centage of which is lost in the ordinary way of cooking. A few improvements will suggest themselves to any me-

chanic, and then if Mr. Atkinson is correct, steaks can be broiled, ducks roasted, bread baked, and in fact every form of cooking done.

There may be less in Mr. Atkinson's ideas than he claims, and only a percentage of the results he obtains can be gained by others. But of the need of an improvement in the American kitchen there is no doubt. And every one who has studied the subject will agree with Mr. Atkinson when he says that in buying food and preparing it for the table there exists an "abuse which costs more than a protective tariff does, even if that cost be measured

at the highest sum ever alleged by the most bigoted free trader; which costs more than the loss that would ensue from the adoption of absolute free trade according to the measure of the most earnest protectionist; a waste greater than that caused by monetary disturbances; an abuse which is one of the main causes of intemperance and the principle cause of dyspepsia."

CANNOT BE DECEIVED.

The crafty plot which underlies the sudden, vehement and arbitrary movement for the repeal of the National Election law begins to be widely and justly understood. At first it was re-

garded as simply springing from the frenzied impulse of hot-headed Demo-

crats to break down all safeguards for an honest ballot-box. But when its inevitable course and effect were traced, it was soon recognized as inspired by the further and deeper purpose of undermining and thwarting the effort for the repeal of silver purchase. And now it stands forth fully unmasked as an adroit and malevolent conspiracy to baffle and defeat the one great object of the extra session.

The conspiracy moves on apace. The dictators of the House have fixed the

10th of October as the date of the final vote on the Tucker bill. They allow

two weeks' debate on a question which lies at the foundation of free govern-

ment. At the end of that period the vote must come, and under the iron rule of the marplots who have entered into this conspiracy the measures for

the protection of the ballot-box which came down from the days of Lincoln and Grant will be recklessly and exul-

tantly wiped off the statute books. So far at least as the House can do it. One

week from next Tuesday Speaker Crisp and his minions will have consummated their part of the conspiracy. Then for the other end of the Capitol. The

silver Senators will only need to hang up the purchase repeal bill during this fortnight. If necessary, they could hang it up four times as long. Nothing can stop them but cloture, and what possible hope of cloture? When the Tucker bill reaches the Senate with all the heat of a burning partisan contest, some Democratic Senator, fired with a determination that the Democratic Senate shall not be behind the Democratic House in supporting a Democratic cru-

sade against Republican Election laws, moves to proceed to its consideration,

and what Democratic Senator will vote against it? And what then becomes of silver purchase repeal? Relegated to the lumber-room of other Democratic wrecks! Killed by the deft and stealthy conspirators who masquerade under the cloak of devotion to the great Democratic principle of free elections!

It is thought that the silver repeal Democrats will not vote to side-track

silver repeal, and push forward the election issue? It is thought that President Cleveland will hold the Administration Senators against such a move-

ment? But how much did these influ-

ences weigh in restraining the House from opening the issue? That was the time and place to stop it. The forcing of the Tucker bill under existing circumstances was doubly odious and dangerous. It was a shameful breach

of good faith. It was the brazen answer of Democratic partisanship to Republi-

can non-partisanship. It was from the start, both in its parliamentary effect and in its partisan instigation, full of menace to the cause of silver purchase repeal. Every impulse of common de-

cency, every sentiment of consideration for President Cleveland should have restrained the movement at this juncture.

If the attitude and purpose of the Ad-

ministration were to count for anything at any stage, they should have counted decisively at the very first stage in pre-

venting the house from opening this Pandora's box of evil.

But, as the orator of Tammany Hall truculently and defiantly declared, not

since the beginning of session had the Democrats been so happy as when for the first time they stood absolutely united in this crusade against the election laws. Speaker Crisp say on the box and drove. He commanded every

step, and tolerated no delay. President Cleveland had acquiesced in his election

and had dictated the Chairman of the Ways and Means, but he either tried nothing in this matter or he was impotent. The Southern brigadiers backed Crisp at every point and Tammany Hall gave the bugle blast. Where was there a single Democrat that raised a

protest? Where were the President's mouth-pieces? Where were the silver

repeal Democrats? Where was the Mugwump Dr. Everett, of Massachusetts? All, without a single exception, followed Speaker Crisp in this mad as-

sault, regardless of good faith or of the danger to silver purchase repeal. And

what then is to be expected when this same iniquitous Tucker bill reaches the Senate, and some Democrat moves to put it forward? It is high time the country appreciated the peril before it.

The Lowest Rate to Chicago. The rapidly approaching termination of the Columbian Exposition and the enormous travel now directing itself to Chicago, prompt the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to still further reduce its round-trip rate on the popular World's Fair Coach Excursions. The rate from Philadelphia will be $17; Lan-

caster, $16.85; Harrisburg, $15.75; Al-

toona, $14.20, and a proportionate re-

duction from other points along the main line and branches. These rates

apply only to special trains leaving on September 28, October 2, and an addi-

tional one just arranged for October 6. The tickets will, as before, be good for return passage within ten days on trains leaving Chicago at 3.15 and 11.30 p m.

The rate has now reached the lowest possible point, and is within the means of almost every one, which end the railroad company has long been en-

deavoring to attain. Early application for tickets is urged, in view of the increased demand which will undoubtedly follow this liberal announcement.

The service for this travel will be maintained at the same standard for which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is justly world-wide famous.

It is said that some people would rather go to the county house than work.

MILLINERY. The Coming Event.

Our leadership in choice Millinery is of National, or at least inter-State importance. The Millinery season really begins with the exhibit of our own pieces, and the models sent by our Paris house.

Hence the great interest that centres in our semi-annual Millinery Receptions. We are hourly solicited to fix the date of the coming Autumn occasion.

To our friends, the Public, to milliners, wholesale or retail, to all, local and distant, we give notice that the first views of our collection will oc-

cur on Tuesday, October 3, and Wednesday, October 4.

The date is fixed a little late to accommodate the many who still linger in distant Summer

homes for the glories of the Autumnal season, and for the thousands from our city now at the Columbian Exposition. Every one of these September days is "Opening Day" somewhere in those great Dress Goods circles. As impossible to crowd the sight of all the Fall and Winter Dress Stuffs, arriving and to arrive, into one day as to see the wonders of the World's Fair between sun and sun.

Stop at almost any counter any day and you'll see styles that haven't been out of the Custom House or away from the freight stations for twenty-four hours.

Styles and stuffs may come and go, but the Broadcloths are perennially popular.

Each year it seems that the last possibility to finish and dye had been reached, each new

season somewhere along the line of loveliness and service there is a little push ahead.

On the shelves to-day are more than two hundred shades and qualities of Broadcloth--

$1, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75, $2., and the finest of all at $3. You'll look in vain for this $3 grade in almost every other store in Philadelphia--they don't keep it. An ideal Broadcloth, the richest, royalist that comes from any loom in the world. Velveteens that look like velvets, that feel like velvets, that almost wear like velvets.

It took the maker (and there's only one of him) many

a year to better and better his work until these perfected Velveteens resulted--so fine of fibre, so compact of pile, so lustrous.

Eighty-three colors, counting all the staple shades, and in-

cluding such fancies as turqoise trefle argent anemone canadien Tolstoi vieux sage cronstadt nanoi ophelia islam Bilbao dryade basoche camelia cendre cimier pommard alonette bizerte couroucou eminence glacier romaine Velveteens are $1 the yard. JOHN WANAMAKER.

detail--the choice of our extensive stock is brought

alike to the most distant buyer and to those living near at hand.

STODDART'S STORES. On Monday, August 28, 1893, we opened a branch store at 15 North Second Street, formerly occupied by the reliable old house of Kelly & Brown, having purchased their entire stock, and also

added many lots bought at low prices now current, we are in a a position to offer many bargains in all kinds of dry goods. The convenience of the store to the different ferries has made

it popular with people passing to and fro, and to residents of Cam-

den and Central and Southern New Jersey.

Our efforts will be to make it in the interest of those not familiar with the

store to make its acquaintance, and those of its old patrons to continue, intending to deserve the patronage of its old friends and many new ones.
