SPRING HILL, n. S., FEB. % u he
mayor of Spring Hill has Issued a
public appeal to cities aud towns
throughout Canada and the United
States, asking for aid in behalf of
the widows and children of those
killed in the mine disaster, The
Call says: "Somethiug must be
done at once for the relief of the

THE SCENES ON SUNDAY.
SPRING HILL MINES, Feb. 23.-
The Sunday effect of this disaster
was felt more acutely. Grief was
depicted on every face. A searching
party entered the mine late at night,
and number of bodies were taken
up. Work has been going on stead
lily. 1t is expected that most of the
dead will be out of the pits today, ex-
cept those who are buried beneath
the falls of the roof. The total mum.
Der Of dead is now placed at III.
Two of those injured died last night.
To several families the affiiction is
very great. Reid Carter and his two
sons. Willard and Clarence, are all
dead. Jesse Armishaw went down,
and found his three sons and two
adopted sons all lying dead together.
The sight sickened and unnerved
him, 50 that he had to return to the
surfice without them. He is frantic
with grief. These sorrowful house
holds are only few from the large
number from which bread winners
were snatched. To-day one meets
everywhere women and children
weeping pitiously.
The deepest gloom has settled over
the whole community. During the
night the people were astir and little
knots of men eagerly discussed the
situation. Some bodies were taken
out fearfully .mutilated. Those dead
who were beyond recognition were
identified by their clothing or the
marks on their bodies.
The carpenter shop has been tenn
porarily converted into a deadhouse,
to which all corpes are taken and
there prepared for burial. TT g

PARNELL's NEW TACK.

EAhNbLL > NEW IAGhs
LONDON, Eeb. 23.-In his speech
Sunday RoscommonParnell avoided
all illusions TO the attacks upon him
and he seldom showed signs of ex-
element. He addressed to his au-
ditors calm and reasoning argument
on the subject Of Irish home rule,
and urged that it would be absolute
folly to accept anything less than
the terms which he had demanded.
He argued that Ireland was eRtitled
to a parliament, armed with the
fullest power to deal with Irish
affairs, aud subject only TO the SOW
ereign veto; that the land and police
should be fully committed 10 Irish
care, not after an interval Of five
years, but Immediately upon organI-
zation of the home ruic parliament.
He advised his hearers 10 think for
themselves, as Irishmen, aud not as
dependent on lhe opinions and
guidance Of auy lnglish faction or
party. Mr.. Parne.l was cordially
received by a hume Gus assemblage,
and some rud- attempt toInsult him
met with no enc 'ursgement. IL 10
believed that P.srnell intends 10 pur-
sue the calmly aggressive course
which b illustrated In his speech
today, and that he will disaPPoint
those Whl eX iect 10 sce him indulge
In ths bitterness which he showed

There seems to be hope in fact of

ted in discharge of public debts; where
by circulating, it returns again Into the
hands Of the borrowers, and becomes
part of their future payments; and thus,
as 1t is likely there viii not be any diff
Guilty for want of bills to pay the office,
they are thereby kept from rising above
their first value. For else, suppOsing
there should be emitted upon mortgaged
land It's full present value in bills, as in
the banks of Europe the full value OF the
money deposited is given out in bills;
and supposing the Office would take
nothing but the same sum in those bills
in discharge of the land, as, in the banks
aforesaid, the same sum In their bills
must be brought in, In order to receive
out the money; in such case the bills
would most surely rise in value as the
land rises; as certainly as the bank bills
founded on money would fall, If that
money was falling. Thus, If l were to
mortgage to loan Office, or bank, q par
eel of land now valued at 91O0 In silver,
and receive for 1t the like sum In bills,
to be paid in again at the expiration OF a
certain term of years, before which my
land rising in value, becomes worth e15O
in silver; it is plain that IL I have not
those bills in possession, and the office
will take nothing but those bills, or else
what it is now become worth in silver in
dlschsrging Of my land; I say it appears
plain that those bills will now be worth
ESQ in silver to the possessor; and if
can purchase them for less, in order to
redeem my land, shall by SO much be
gamer.
Ineed not say anything to convince
the judicious that our bills have not YET
sunk, though there is and has been
some difference between them and silver
because it Is evident that that difference
is occasioned by the scarcity of the latter,
which is now become q merchandise,
rising and falling like other commodities
as there is greater or less demand for 1t,
or as it Is more or less plenty.
Yet further, In order to make q true
estimate of the value of money, we must
distinguish between money as it is bull
lion, which Is merchandise, and as by be-
ing coined tits made q currency. For its
value rs merchandise and its value as q
currency are two distinct things; and
each may possibly rise and fall in some
degree independent Of the other. Thus,
If the quantity of bullion increases in the
country, it will proportionately decrease
in value; but if at the same time the
quantity of current coin should decrease
(supposlng payments may not be made In
bullion) what coin there is will rise In
value as currency; that is, people will
give more labor In manufactures for q
certain sum of ready money.
In the same manner must we consider
paper currency founded on land; as II
is land, and as it Is currency.
Money as bullion, or as land, is valua-
bic by 30 much labor as It costs to pro
cure that bullion or land.
Money as q currency has an additional
value by 80 much time and labor as Il
saves in the exchange of commodities.
II, as currency, It saves one-fourtn
part Of the time and labor Of q country;
The advocate., 1891-06-10


than they could before.
From these considerations it may be
gathered that in all the degrees between
having no money In country, and hav-
ing sufficient for the trade, 1t will rise
and fall in value as a currency in pro-
portion to the decrease or increase of its
quantity. And if there may be at some
time more than enough, the overplus will
have no effect towards making the cur
rency, as currency, of less value than
when there was but enough; because
such Overplus will not be used in trade,
but be some other way disposed Of.
If we inquire how much per cent. In
terest ought to be required upon the
loan of those bills, we must consider
what ia the natural standard OF usury.
And this appears to be, where the securi-
ty is undoubted, at least the rent Of so
much land as the money lent will buy.
For it cannot be expected that any man
will lend his money for less than it
would fetch him in as rent IL he laid 1t
out In land, which Is the most secure
property In the world. But If the se-
curlty Is casual, then kind of insurance
must be interviewer with the simple
natural interest, which may advance the
usury very considerably to any height
below the principal itself. Now among
us If the value of land is twenty years
purchase, per cent. Is the just rate Of
interest for money lent on undoubted se-
curlty. Yet II money grows scarce in
country, it becomes more difficult for
people to make punctual payments oi
what they borrow, money being hard to
be raised; likewise, trade being discour-
aged and business impeded for want Of a
currency, abundance of people must be
declining In circumstances, and by these
means of security Is more precarloui
than where money is plenty. On such
It is no wonder il people ask greater in
terest for their money than the natura
interest; and what Is above is to b'
looked upon as a kind Of premium fol
the insurance of those uncertainties, al
they are greater or less. Thus we al
ways see that where money Is scarce In
terest is high and low where 1t is plenty
Now it is certainly the advantage of
country to make interest as 10 = as possl
BILE, az l have already shown; and this
ca be done no other way than by making
money plentiful. And since, In emitting
paper money among us, the office has
the best Of security, the titles Of the
land being skillfully and strictly exam
ined and ascertained; and as it is only
permitting the people by law to coin
their own land, which costs the govern
ment nothing, the interest being more
than enough to pay the charge of print
ing, officers fees, etc. / cannot see any
good reason why 4 per cent. to the loar
Office should not be thought fully suffl
cient. AS a low interest may incline
more to take money out, 1t will become
more plentiful In trade; and this may
bring down the common usury, In which
security Is more dubious to the pitch 1t Ii
determined at by law.
Ifit should be objected that emitting
It at so low an interest, and on such
easy terms will occasion more to be
