The mysterious lights in the gulf and

OF the great tempests, have according to
the Montreal Herald, been unusually bril-

ly in the summer nights the fall is in
variably marked by great storms. They
give the appearance to spectators on the

half mile is covered with a sheen, rs Of

Tho lights arc plainly visible from the
shore from midnight until 9 o'clock in

the sea shOrcward, and at dawn retire
and are lost in the morning mist
Paradis, the French pilot, who took
charge Of tho British fleet under Admiral
Sir November Walker, when it sailed up
the st. Lawrence from Boston to Qubec,
in 1911, declared he saw one OF those
lights before thatarmada was shattered by
a dreadful gale on the ODD OF August.
The light, he said, danced before his ves-

ender Walkers calamity has been preced-

lights-or rather they have
warned the mariner OF the fatal storm.
When the gulf gives up its dead, there will

ship La Tribune was lost with 800 souls.
In 1905 the British transport Naoas went
down with 500. In 1881 the cmigrant
ship Lady Sherbrooke, from Derby to Que
bee, was lost, only 80 out OF 273 passen-
gers being saved. In 1917 nearly 800 Irish
cmigrants were lost with the brig Carrick,

The greepback men comprise two
,lasses: First. those Who are green.
lAckers on principle, aud; second,
hose who are 80 because they believe
he trLe remedy for hard times is to be
ound in a further issue of green backs.
rhe former favor an Increased issue of
paper money. because they believe il is
the only true kind of money; the lat
ter, because they believe, whether true
money or not, that a further Issue Of
greenbacks will afford at least tempo
rary relief from the hard times.
We assume that both classes are
honest, and open 10 argument and con-
siction. Addressing the second class
irst. we would remind them that every
financial panic that has ever occurred
IN the United States has been preceded
and caused by an overissue of paper
money and an imitation of credit. The
proof of this assertion is found in his
tory, and we challenge any person or
paper to controvert IL. Ii follows that
hard times cannot be cured by inha-
ton. That remedy might afford tenn
porary relief, just as brandy does to
the man who is recovering from n
drunken spree, but the reaction must
follow. and the recovery of a healthy
tone will only be postponed by resort
TO stimulents. Ii is the testimony OF
medical men and inebriates that the
relief brought in such cases by stimu-
lants is altogether artificial, and only
serves TO postpone the inevitable rsac-
ton. The same is true Of the financial
intoxication caused by an inflated cur
rency. To initiate again would only be
to resort TO the cup. SO far from infla-
tion being remedy for hard times, IL
would be an aggTavatlOn, and would
only increase and intensity the evils Of
the situation.
Second-To those who are greenback
men because they believe in an irre-
ieemdble paper currency, we would
say the of the world and tie experience
II mankind is opposed 10 any such
theory. Such n currency never has
been maintained, and common sense
teaches that 10 never can be. Money
must have intrinsic value, or be re-
deemsble and convertible into some
thing which has intrinsic value. No
government has ever succeeded in pre-
venting an inflated paper currency
from depreciating in value, or in main.
paper at par without redeeminR it in
coin. An irredeemable paper currency
Is the fruitful source OF social and
financial evils. II is always accompan-
led by high prices, fluctuating values,
Wild speculation and social demoraliz-
alton. What has Happened before will
hap zen again, and IA these evils always
have followed ia the train of an IRE

thy. You know that there is large
,lass Of people who do not like to pay
debt They have no scrupies about
getting into debt, but they haven't any
great anxiety about getting out. Even
when they have the money in their
pocket, they dislike very much to pass
il over 10 those they owe.
These times are God-send To such
people. They furnish them an excuse
for not d ing what they never liked TO
do. They can plead scarcity of
money, as a reason for not meeting
their obligations. This class there
fore, as well as others, need 10 be re-
minded that now is the time 10 pay
debts. The welfare Of the community
demands this. Ii demands that every
debt be paid that possibly can. No
man has right 10 carry money in his
pocket that he owes. That money be-
longs to his creditors, aud il is a kind
of stealing to keep it out OF their
hands. No more has he a right to
keep his grain in his barn, waiting for
a rise and so make his creditors carry
him and embarrass the business world.
The farmer needs TO be reminded of
his duty here. A great responsibility
rests upon him. This IL an agricul-
tural country; our wealth comes out Of
the soil. The farmer therefore, stands
at the mouth of our treasury. He can
greatly help or hinder our business sc-
tivity. IL he does mis- duty, the whole
country prospers; II he neglects it the
whole country suffers. Now he gets
credit on the strength of his incoming
harvest. The merchant and mechanic
trust him oL the ground that he Is
growing the grain that will pay them.

il not ior this.
Mauiiestly. therefore, il is his duty
To market that grain as soon as possl-
BILE. and pay these debts. That grain,
so much OF II as is necessary To meet
these obligations, belongs To his credi-
tors. and he has no right to hold it a
mouSnt longer than is necessary to Sc
cure fare price. He has no more
right to keep that grain in his barn
than he has 10 keep money he owes in
his pocket. He mas no right TO specu-
bate at the expense of his merchant,
blacksmith and grocer. He is bound
by every moral obligation. not to hold
his grain in hopes of getting n little
better price and 80 make his creditors
