A Mother's Lore. It is said that the Hon. Samuel Gal loway of Columbus, O., was one of the plainest men ever known in the state, lie told many stories relative to his own personal ugliness of face with great ?ood humor. One which he often related with much relish was that of the remark made by the little daughter of a friend in an other city with whom he was dining. Mamma," he heard the child say in an awe-struck whisper, after a pro longed survey of the peculiar features of the guest, "that gentleman s mamma must have loved children mighty well." "Why. so, my dear? inquired the un suspecting parent. "Oh." returned the child in the same audible whisper, "'cause she raised him!" Youth's Companion. lOO Reward. SIOO.

He Has Sen KdoiijIi to Know that If All the Gold in America Went Abroad We Would SttU Have the Count r j. William K. Vanderbilt inadvertant ly exploded the gold standard "sound money" idea the other day. When speaking of a possibility of a war with England he stated that the strength of a country is in its natural resources, and that we could not be coerced by the breaking of the stock market and a withdrawal of our gold. That is equivalent to saying that our strength in war does not depend upon the main tenance of the gold standard, and it is true. The Southern Confederacy was overthrown by the wearing away of its armies, not by the depreciation of its paper. The greatest wars of history have been fought with paper alone. The Napoleonic wars covered nearly a quarter of a century of time, and Eng land's money during thoe years was exclusively paper. The idea that a na tion can fight a desperate and long-drawn-out war with nothing but pa per, and go to ruin in a time of pro found peace the moment the gold stand ard fails, is too absurd for serious con sideration. So far from our prosper ity depending upon the preservation of the gold standard, the policy inau gurated in 1873 of forcing the business of the Western world to the slender ba sis of gold is the very thing that peo ple are complaining of. The business of Europe and America had through centuries of time been adjusted to the broad base of gold and silver in com bination. Suddenly one of them was taken away. Down went prices and up went the burden of debt. The cred itor was enriched and the debtor was impoverished. The non-producer, basking in idleness and luxury, was enabled to buy what he wanted with less money. Tie producer the back bone of our national life and strength was compelled to work twice as many hours and give up twice as much of the product of his toil to get the same num ber of dollars. The prosperity of a country depends upon the maintenance of a fair range of prices. No matter whether the money in use consists of gold, silver or paper any or all if tbe quantity be such as to preserve a fair and healthy price level, business pros perity will be assured in the absence of unnatural disturbances. The demon etization of silver lowered the price level, subverted equities and destroyed prosperity. Suppose one-half of the gold now in the world were to be thrown into the deepest part of the sea. Would it not have some effect upon business? Certainly but how? Simply by making money scarce and hard to get. That is, prices would fall greatly. Those in debt would find it impossible to procure money with which to meet their obligations. The demonetization of silver operated in precisely the same way. except that as the silver was not entirely destroyed the process was slower. The true stand ard of value is that which will main tain a steady average price level, be cause all business is done on the basis of "price." When the people of tbe United States come to realize this sim ple truth the money question will be speedily settled and it will be settled righL A monetary standard under which prices are constantly falling is as far from being sound as anything in finance can be. EA YARD'S BAD BREAK. ft Is on l'.r with tiie Lunacy f tlie old Standard .Advocate. "The President stands in the midst of a strong, self-confident and often times violent people, men who de.siie to have their own way, and who need their way frequently obstructed, and I tell you plainly it takes a real man to govern the people of the United States." The above is one of the statements made by Mr. Bayard recently in Eng land, v.-hich has given so much umbrage to Americans. Whether the language is impeachable we are scarcely pre pared to say, but it is dangerously near the line. By the plainest implication it means that the people of this coun try are incapable of self-government and need a man in the presidential chair who can "govern" them. That is exactly what Mr; Cleveland has been trying to do in dealing with the money question. He has paid no more atten tion to the laws of congress than if they had never been passed. The "Sherman law" provided as clearly as language can speak for the purchase at its mar ket price of 4.500,000 ounces of silver each month. For several months before the repeal only about one-half of the required amount was purchased. The specious pretense was that somebody had "corn ered" the market and forced up the price. Upon that same theory Harri son might have refused to buy any dur ing his entire terra, and the law would have been nullified from the first. The answer is no answer at all, for there is always speculation to every "market" and in all commodities. The raising of the price of silver was the precise purpose which the law had in view so as to establish and maintain a parity between the two metals. Mr. Cleveland has also coolly set the law at defiance by refusing to pay gov ernment obligations in silver, borrow ing gold instead, and increasing the interest-bearing debt of a people already staggering under a load too heavy for them to bear. It is scarcely necessary to say that Mr. Bayard is a "sound money" man of the most pronounced type. Show us a man anywhere who thinks the American people need a "real man" to "govern them" and we will show you a devotee of the English gold standard. Mr. Bayard should not only resign. 1 ;.t he should permanently domicile him sc.! I in the dominions of Her Majesty Yh Queen. TRAITOR CARLISLE. Oeitiorratft Should Keep Thia Letter of Ilia in Mind. I shall not enter into an examination of the causes which have combined to depreciate the relative value of silver, and to appreciate the value of gold since 1873. but I am one of those who believe that they are transient and temporary in their nature, and that when they have passed away or have been removed by the separate or united j actions of the nations most deeply in- J terested in the subject, the ratio of ac tual and relative value will be re-established on a firmer foundation than ever. I know that the world's stock of precious metals is none too large, and I see no reason to apprehend that it v.-ill ever become so. Mankind will be for tunate, indeed, if the annual produc tion of gold and silver coin shall keep pace with the annual increase of popu lation, commerce and industry. Ac cording to my view on the subject, the conspiracy which seems to have b?e:i ! formed here and in Europe to destroy j by legislation and otherwise from j three-sevenths to one-half the metallic ; money of the world is the most gigan- ! tic crime of this or any other age. j The consummation of such a scheme . would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all tne wars, j pestilence and famine that ever oc- j turred in the history of the world. The ' absolute and instantaneous destruction of half the movable property of the world, including horses, ships, rail- j roads and all other appliances for car rying on commerce, while it would be 1 felt more sensibly at the moment, would not produce anything like the prolonged distress and disorganization of society that must inevitably result from the permanent annihilation cf one-half of the metallic money of the world. JOHN G. CARLISLE. Feb. 21, 1878. TRAITOR SHERMAN. Itepuldiean Will Do M ell to Keep This Letter of IIU in Mind. Treasury Department. July l., ls,7S. Dear Sir: To that part of your let ter of the 12th inst.. in which you ask my views of the matter confided in the monetary commission, I have some delicacy in replying .very fully. Dur ing the monetary conference in Faris, when silver in our country was exclud ed from circulation by being under valued, I was strongly in favor of the single standard of gold, and wrote a let ter which you will find in the proceed ings of the conference, stating briefly my view. At that time the wisest of us did not anticipate the sudden fall of silver or the rise of gold that has occurred. This uncertainty of the rela tion between the two metals s one of the chief arguments in favor of a mono metallic system, but oiher arguments, showing the dangerous effect upon in dustry by dropping one of the precious metals from the standard of value, ou' weigh in my mind all theoretical ob jections to the bimetallic system. I am thoroughly convinced that if ii were possible for the leading commer cial nations to fix by agreement in ar bitrary relation between silver aiid gold, even though the market va.ue might vary somewhat from time to time, it would be a measure of the greatest good to all nations. My earnest desire is that you rnqy s-.teceed in doing this. You are so well informed upon this subject that it is not worth while !'or me to enlarge upon it. The statements and documents cent you by the direc tor of the mint will give in authentic form most of the material facts which bear upon the question, and your own investigation upon the silver commis sion will. I am quite sure, supply any deficiency. Very truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN, Secretary. W. S. Grosbeck, Esq., Cincinnati. O. Angry with Kverybody. When a paper like the Times-Herald enters upon a campaign of vituperation it should, first, at least, lay a founda tion of substantial argument. This it would undoubtedlj- do if it could, but it has none. Let the reader glance at the follow ing sample taken from the editorial re ferred to: "The strange spectacle is thus pre sented of the silver kings taking pos session of the gateway of legislation by seizing upon the senate finance com mittee to make government pay a law ful dollar for a half dollar's worth of white metal, the profit to go into the pockets of the silver kings; while out in the country labor is to be beguiled and bamboozled into a secret oder to ceat itself into thinking that 50 cents is a good enough dollar for wages. Give me a dollar for half a dollar, say the senate silver kings to Uncle Sam; I'll give j'ou 50 cents for the dollar of your wages, say the same kings to the American workingmen. "Let's call ourselves patriots," says "Coin" Har vey to the workingmen, and you take 50 cents for the dollar of your wages to prove you are patriots." The Silver Champion. T. E. Diamond, of Granville. Iova, writes as follows: "Our cause is just! then let us fight vigorously until we conquer.
