To the Editor of The Chicago T'ribune : Cmicaao, Sept, 20.—I am not a Chicago girlo yet I would liko to eay & fow words in dofenso of tho extravagance of women. Why do men, whon advortising for girls to A1l situations, give no necotnd glanco tosards thoso poorly dressed ; think them vulgar; vo tasto; no style? They are judged by tho clothes they wear, A fino faco aud modest demennor aro nothing, Who is it tunt forcea poor girly to pincl and economizo #0 thoy may dress woll to gain an honest liviug ? ¢ 48 tho men. Who is it at any eoctal gathoring, in tho streot cars, or st any placo whero tho gallantry of men is shown, that sunbs tho poorly-dressed girls for tho richer dressed ? It is tho men. No matter how re- fined & lady may be, she ia nover noticed unleny nicely dressed. Say no more hard things about the extravagance of womon, but remember it is you men who force us to bo so. A lady of good tante, if fino looking, can appear richor and handeomer dressed with one-teuth as much money ng o conrse, slovenly woman, There is where 80 many men aro deceived by tho appenr- ance. My friend and I may work at a ealary of £30 amonth, our expenkes being tho same, still I will always be micely drossed, my friend wilt " always look soody; she must bo what shie saens,—a poor, honost, hard- working girl.

P, . 1 RESUMPTION, Tothe Editor af The Chicago Tribune @ Cuicano, Oct. 1, ith a largo class of the busncss publie, tho question how tho Gtavern- ment can rosume specie-paymonta is 1nvolved in groat obscurity, and scoms fraught with diro disaster to tho commoreinl intercyts of tho coun- try. Wo have no plan for which wo claim any #pecitlo aesurance of suiccoss, hut beg leave to mako the following suegestions : As to tho bonds of the Unitod States, no logialation is neodod. They are now aboyvo par in gold, tho O por conts ranging from 1to 2 cents abovo coin. That is, the bondholders’ Govornment indebtodnoss I8 from 17 to 21 conty moro valuablo than greenbacks, which aro the claims upon tho (fovernmont in tho haunda of the peoplo. Now, tho problom I, to make the fu- debtednoss in tha hands of tho poople of aqual valuo with that in tho hands of tho bondlolders, Buppoao Congross noxt winter should pass au amondmont to the law for tho rosumption of specie-paymonts in 1879, providing that gruen- bnoke, whon onco roceived inta tho Treasury, should po canceled. Second, that they would be recoived, on or baforo July 1, 1875, at 114 for old-intorest G-per-cont Londs; and 112, 110, 103, 106, 101, 102, lowoering tho prico 2 conts evory rix monthy thoronftor; and Mlp“ Jan, 1, 1879, The bauks, if greenbacks shiould Lecome rearce, would, by the law as il now atands, bo ro- quired to redoem in cols, and thus specio-pay- ment« would bo reachod, aud nobody would feol it. Nay. more, I boltovo buniress wauld ba bet- ter, and monoy would be more plenty, immedi- ntoly after tho aduption of such a law, Tho ceapital of tho world would then bo placed at our dignosal. Only a fow weeks ago, a ropreaentative of a London institution wus here, with $300,000 gold to loau at 7' por cont on mortgages, with 1o comumisslons, —interest and principal payable incoln. Tlo got no offers, and, belng unwilling to convort it into currency, was obliged to retuin without makivg any investments, Why is it that evon s B-por-cont gold bond ia worth a_promium in gold, and a greenback i+ worth only 85 o 86 contaon the doliar? Bimply beeauso, in the one case, the promiso Lo pay is mado and kept; and, in thoother, itls not. Luokat & groenback, It ready, **The Unitod States will puy ton dollara." It don't may that tho tall is ten dollars, ‘'hint is an absurdity that oven an inflationist, or, battor, o delunionist, does not at- temnt to paln off ou an intolligent people. Lot atime when tho Governmont will pay them in coln, or gold-bearing bondw, bo fixed, and, my word for it, substantial ¢onfidouce and' prospor- ity would porvade the outira business and com- mereial interesty of tho country, L.
