President Harrison on Fiat Money


In one of his speeches on his western
tour, President Harrison discussed one
phase of the campaign in Ohio this yeal
in a more mastery manner than it will
probably be presented again. In fact he
completely disposed of the Pefferistic
ideas on currency in the following few
wise, timely and unanswerable utter
ances. None can gainsay their truth,
and if they are true what becomes of the
schemes of Simpson or Donnelly and all
that school of blatant demagogues:
This government of ours can not do
everything for everybody. The theory OF
our government is large individual liberty.
1t is that we shall take out of the way all
legislative Instructions to the free, honest
pursuit of all human industries; that each
individual shall have, in his own place,
the best chance to develop the highest
prosperity for himself and family Some
functions are lodged with the government.
1t must provide currency for the use of
our people, for, | believe, the time has
gone by when we will be content to return
to the old system of an issue of money by
State banks. But will not discuss such
questions. | only desire to say this, which
is common ground on which we can all
stand, that whatever money the govern
ment issues, paper or coin, it must be good
money. L have an idea that every dollar
we issue should be as good as any dollar
we issue, for, my countrymen, paper or
coin, the first errand it does is to pay some
workingman for his daily toll. None so
much as the iaboringman and the farmer
require a full-value dollar, of permanent
value the year round. l hope have not
intruded upon any ground of division. |
am talking not as a partisan, but as an
American citizen, desiring by every
method to enhance the prosperity of our
people, and have this great government in
all its undertakings touch with beneficent
and equal hands the pursuits of the rich
and the moor

The Apostle of an American Idea.

Here is a speech by Chauncey NJ.
Depew delivered at Woodstock, VT, On
July 4, in dedicating a tree to Major
Mckinley;
Americanism means the development, the
culture, the expansion, the progress and
the protection of everything American 1t
means the growth of our industries, the
increase of our mills and furnaces, the de-
velopment of our mines and agriculture,
the prosperity and happiness of our people
The apostle of that American idea is Will
liam Mckinley. We greet him here, and
in planting his elm, too, principle which
began with Washington and Hamilton,
and has been so conspicuously defended by
him, we wish him God-speed in his canvass
in Ohio. When he shall have served as
governor of Ohio, and in the future as
president of the United States, in the
evening of his days, when this elm shall
have grown to a heighth where a large
proportion of his Ohio constituents can
find restful shade under its branches, we
hope that he will come here again to greet
the elm whose auspicious planting pre-
ceded and rrefgured his election, and
whose longevity typifies the perpetuity of
American prosperity when fostered by the
practical operation of American ideas.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Egotism is the foam of fermenting ig
norance.
An ounce of action is worth pound
of words.
Envy is always lying in wait where
virtue flourishes.
1t is by women that nature writes OF
the hearts of men.
The best physicians are DIR. Diet, DIR
Quiet, and DR.. Merryman.
A woman's thoughts run before her
actions, not before her words.
The man that is truthful under all cir
cumstances cannot be very bad.
Happiness, like youth and health, is
rarely appreciated until it is past.
He that smarts for speaking the truth
hath a plaster in his own conscience.
He is fool who praises himself, and
he madman who speaks i'll of himself.
Flatter people on their absence of yam
ity, and you can do what you like with
them.
Wise sayings often fall on barren
ground; but kind is never thrown
away.
Gratitude is feeling in which we
may freely indulge without any fear of
excess.
1t is difficult for rich man to be hum
BILE, but impossible for a proud man to
be wise.
Law and equity are two things which
God hath joined, but which man has put
asunder.
Idleness is the dead sea that swallows
all virtues self-made sepulchre of a
living man.
In trouble we often come off better
than we expect, and always better than
we deserve.

Latest Fashion in Clothes and Children.
The small woman who fervently
prayed that there might be no "best
clothes" in heaven certainly ought not
to be unhappy now, for even the best
clothes are simple, and are made so that
she can move and be happy in them.
Silks, satins, laces and flummery on chill
dren are only evidences of the folly of
their mothers, for the wisest and
wealthiest women dress their children
in the simplest and plainest manner.
You see, babies who quote Shakespeare
at five, or who are looking for microbes
at seven, are counted bad form, while
those who dig in the sands for precious
stones, or build houses that are washed
away by the incoming waves, are the
ones who are going to be healthy and
