LEGISLATION AND PRICES.
Lawi of Trad Mora Powerful Than tha
Lawi of Nation.
The Iowa Demorrats on Aug. 1 de
clared against free coinage of silver at
16 to 1 by an overwhelming majority.
The following in a short quotation from
the speech of Hon. Nathaniel French,
chairman of the convention:
"At what ratio shall we coin the
metals bo that a dollar of one will equal
a dollar of the other in intrinsic and
exchangeable value? When we want to
know how much things are worth, we
(to to the market and find out. We
don't hunt up a congressman to ask the
value of eggs or spring chickens or grain
ir anything else, or if congress has de
clared what their value tihall 1. We
know that the mere declaration of con
gress, or even a constitutional amend
mont, could not 11 x the price of a single
egg. In like manner, if we want to know
how many ounce of silver an onncn of
gold is worth, we must go to the bul
lion markets instead of the revised
statutes. Thomas Jefferson could not
have won undying fame an a statesman
and leader of the common people if he
had not liecn endowed with an abun
dance of common sense, and over 100
years ago, when congress sought bis ad
Tic as to the rat io to adopt for the
coinage of gold and silver, he said:
'Disregard legal proxrtions altogether.
Inquire into the market price.' Ho
knew that opinions should not and
could not be controlled by legislation.
He knew that the basic laws of trade
were more powerful than the laws of
nations and that the multiplication
table could not be altered by statute.
"To so coin gold and silver that, both
chall circul.tie together by reason of
jwirity of value we ninut follow Jeffer
son 'i advice and inquire the price of
gold and silver in the markets of the
world. If we find oneonnceof gold will
buy Hi ounces of silver, that is the ratio
to adopt. To put in the silver dollar
more than 33 grains of silver for each
gTain of gold in the gold dollar would
at once drive our silver money from cir
culation, and to put in less would ban
ish our gold. The loss of either would
lie a misfortune, and to retain both we
must adopt the mercantile ratio, putting
in our coins no more and no le8 than is
needed to make one of equal value to
the other. "
A MISSOURI STORY.
Carl Hllljr Dovan't Afrre With Hll Vrr
Mlvcr Krlghbor.
Anent the silver question comes a
good story from over in the "kingdom"
of Callaway. In one of the most fertile
portion of the "kingdom" lives Uncle
Billy , He is a character in his
way, and a prosMrons, hardworking
man, with grain in his barns, fat horses,
sleek cattle and blooded sheep aud hogs
in his pasture, and money to his credit
in the bank. He attends to his crops
and ha no time to sit on the fence aud
discuss iilvur. A neighbor of his, who
is a rampant Populist aud silver advo
cate, passed his place the other day. He
aocosted Uncle Billy as follows:
"Well, Uncle Billy, when do yon
think we will have better times?"
"Have yon got any fat cattle?" asked
Uncle Billy.
"No."
"Have yon got any sheep?"
"No."
"Have you got any fat hogs?"
"Hardly enough to make my meat"
"Well," said Uncle Billy reflectively,
"I'll be d d if I ee how time are
going to get any better for yon."

CONCERNING FREE SILVER.
Sunt HUtorlcal Full For 1A to 1 crt u
Haatlcata.
In his recent sound money speech at
Hillsboro, Tex., Judge Rufus Hard;
cited the following historical facts:
The United States today has a target
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
It haa more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country on earth
today has of all kinds of money.
It has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today.
It hus more gold than silver, and th
volume of its silver circulation Is great
er per capita than the entire circulation
of gold, silver and paper reduced tc
ailver of any free coinage nation.
The United States under a gold stand
! ard since 1873 has maintained a
greater circulation per capita than it
, ever did before.
j There has been five times more silver
coined under the gold standard, from
1873 till now, 22 years, than there wai
under free coinage from 17U2 to 1873,
hi years.
j Every nation that has adopted the
gold standard, except one or two who
are on depreciated paper bases, has in
creased its circulation.
No nation of first clasa civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type of free sil
ver nation on earth on double standard,
so called, and its per capita circulation
is 1.71.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 187!) more than the entire
circulation of Mexico.
The wagci of no free silver country
on earth average a third of those in the
United Htates.
No country on earth has in practice a
double (gold and silver) standard.
No country for 200 years (siuco com
merce liecatne international) ever has in
practice had a double standard.
The proposition that there can lie bnt
one standard is in fact self evident.
(Carlisle aud Mr. Ingham, secretary !
treasury in 1830 under Jackson.)
Both metals under free coinage have
never circulated concurrently and indis
criminately in any country where there
are banks and money dealers. (Select
committee of house under Jackson in
1832.)
The overvalued metal under free coin
age drives ont the other. (Benton, 1834.)

Senator Tnrpie of Indiana trie tc
break the force of what is known ai
the "hammer test" of money that is,
the fact that n gold coin beaten out of
' shape retains its value, while a Bilver
1 coin treated in the same way lose half
its value by claiming that, on account
of the one-tenth alloy a $10 goldpiece
would only be worth SI if it wore put
nuder t he hammer. Senator Tnrpie ought
to know better than to delude hi fol
lower with such misleading nonsense.
The weight of the pnre gold iu a $10
coin is the name a in an ingot worth
$10. The alloy has nothing to do with
the value of onr gold coins, us any jew
elry manufacturer who melts down dou
ble eagles for u in his business can
tell the Indiana statesman. It is the
23 2-10 grains of gold which constitute
the value of the standard dollars of
25 8-10 grains, and that weight of gold
is worth just as much when the coin
containing it is melted or hammered
out of shaj. Thousand of $10 and $20
pieces are melted every year for use in
the aria. Does Senator Tnrpie suppose
that business men are foolish enough to
pay $10 for $0 worth of gold merely be
cause it )iapieiai to be in the form of a
coin?

A good illustration of the aound
money principle that the quality of
money is far more Important than the
quantity is found in a story of Colonel
C. J. Villere of Ueneral Beauregard's
staff.' Riding np to a group of cavalry
one day toward the close of the war, he
waa aocosted with: "Hello, Villere I

MEN are frequently very Incon
siderate of those they care for
most This lack of feeling does
not Indicate any lack of affection, but
rather a thoughtlessness that they
would gladly correct if the way were
pointed out for them. This Is Just what
we mean to do this morning, as it has
been brought before our notice In a
peculiar way that young members of
the stronger aex need a reminder of
their remissness in their duty to the
women whom they some day expect to
call their wives.
Now, some one undoubtedly remarks,
"She Is going to talk to the engaged
men," and there some one makes a
great mistake, though a natural one.
When we made reference to the women
whom they some day expect to call
their wives, It was misleading, no
doubt, but to put all vagueness aside
let us come to the point, and give the
thoughtless derelict a good sound scold
ing. Men, young or advanced in years,
ought to be made to realize that they
have no right to monopolize a girl's so
ciety, treat her with a marked tender
ness and place her before the eyes of
the public In the light of a fiancee If
they are not willing to have their en
gagement announced to the whole
world.
There Is a case within the circle of
our own acquaintance of a pair so de
voted to each other that It Is but reason
able to suppose that they are engaged,
but the girl opened her heart to the
writer the other day, and In Indignant
protest declared that as fond as she
was of the man In question she could
not for her own sake let him go on In
the way that compromised her In the
eyes of her friends. "I know he In
tends to marry me, but he has not asked
me yet right out to be his wife. By a
hundred little ways and signs I know
he has no other thought for me Nave
to marry me some day, but I can't say
this to people when they ask If we are
engaged, and so I Just feel that It Is
my duty to break with him, but what
excuse have I for so doing. I can't

fate were necessary, but this horribly
equivocal position Is more than 1 can

there are thousands more like It. Men.
