"The Honest Dollar"

Every dollar that makes its appear
ance in the marts of trade has history
and character. We hear great deal
said and much more written about an
honest dollar. The piutocracy who
owns the larger number OF these dollars
are the loudest in their clamors for
what they call an honest dollar. Is
their dollar honest? If it is. then the
decalOgue has no place in business or in
politics. 1t is a natural born robber
from its birth. All of us know that its
origin was the eXigency of the nation,
and its life depended on the life OF the
nation in time of extreme peril. The
uncertainty of the times enabled them
to buy thousands of dollars at half their
value. They bought two dollars of the
nations money for one of their boarded
gold dollars. With these they bought
government bonds which cost them
fifty cents on the dollar, and are now
worth one dollar and thirty cents, and
are exempt from taxation. They paid
the soldier who saved the nation in
money worth fifty cents on the dollar,
and pronounced him disloyal If he OBJ

and buckled it on him with relentless
mortgages, aud having thus secured

Discussion ofths Silver Question by Sene
tor PETER and Ex-Governor Anthony.
The Advocate this week publishes
communication from Hon. E, P. Elder,
giving an account OF his notable dis
cussion. which is as follows:
To the editor of the Advocate
The last and closing day of the Chau-
tauqua at Forest Park. Ottawa, was the
scene of no ordinary interest. 1t was
radical change in the usual order of
business. The last day has heretofore
been G. A. r. day, but this year it was
agricultural and labor day, and Senator
PETER and Ex-Governor Anthony were
the speakers. The subject was silver
coinage. The governor spoke first in
his usual vigorous and triumphant
manner, His speech was able and
carefully prepared, and wholly on the
line of the gold or single standard. He
ridiculed the idea of flat money!" the
value-under all or any circumstances
impaired to paper money was derived
from the fact of its being redeemable in
coin, or government promises to paw:
related many amusing anecdotes to
illustrate the points he made his friends
cheering literally: scoffed the idea of o
75-cent or S0-cent silver dollar, mean
ing the value of the bullion it contained,
occupying two hours in its delivery.
His speech was able and logical as any
single standard speaker could well make.
When Senator PETER was introduced
the 1000 people that com posed the au-
dience we're silent and breathless-curi-
Osity had seized their attention and
run high What can this new senator
of this new tangled party do with All
thony and his argument? But the SEN
ator evidently was at home on these
questions and proved fully equal TO the
hopes and expectations of his friends.
Mr.. PETER reviewed all of his salient
points with clear and logical illustra-
tiOn-cOmpletely sweeping away all the
fine-spun theories of the governor. The
house cheered his clear and logical IL
Illustrations, and the grOundless theories
of the governor were clearly set forth.
The power and functions of money were
made plain; also the sovereignty and
power of the government to make
money from any material 1t choose.
That law made and unmade money was
made so clear in his speech that those
who were drawn there from curiosity
were filled with new ideas. That the
trouble was not the kind of mOney-the
number of grains the gold OF silver do
lar cOntained-bu the number of dol
airs in the hands Of the people to Go
their business with. 1t was an intel
lectual treat to hear both sides from
the same platform and on the same
day, by two men who spoke from their
convictions on such governmental policy.
There can be no QuestiOn-frOm the
feeling of the silver men and women
and the discontinue of the governors
followers-but what it was ''clean
knock out for the single standard side.
Everything passed off pleasantly, and
''our fello VS." feel they gained a big
point by this innovation in the program
of the day. P. p, ELDER.

What amount of salvage viii be claim
ed by the owners and agents of the
steamship Chester for towing the dis
abled Servia back to New York was one
of the chief topics Of conversation at
the Maritime Exchange Wednesday.
Most extravagent sums were named as
a possible reward for the owners and
crew'of the Chester.Som placed the fig
ures as low as $4,000, others again
thought the sum would be likely to
reach s25O,OOO. 1t was generally con-
ceded to be the most valuable derelict
ever lowed to New York. Besides her
passengers and general cargo, the
Seryia had on board $1,000, 600 in gold.

What is
1t For?


ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. "What is it for?" we con-
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR ?" AS easily
answered as asked 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. 1t is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as child's
thought. It is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it
cures Dyspepsia. q

They Should Have Help.

gress for the relief of the national

lican press that they are conducting

should be attended to without delay

l.. L. Polk in his speech at Colds
burg. N. c., said: Zone OF the troubles
is that the farmers have not attended to
their business as voters. You are work
ing to-day simply for existance. The
movement of the alliance will 60 on, no
matter what becomes of the leaders,"
He denied being an aspirant for the
presidency and declared he now held
the greatest Office in the United States
He stood upon every one of the Ocala
demands. Those who wish to oppose
any principles of the alliance will have
to go out and join the enemy. IF you
wish to get the sub-treasury bill out of
politics get something else that will
give relief. Until something better is
offered we will stand by the sub-treas
ury plan. If third party is to be estab-
lished in the south it will be because of
the ,domineering, Indifferent and un-
reasoable action OF the politicians. The
alliance is for its principles and will fa-
vor any man who is with it, and oppose
any one who is against it."

THE HILLS OF SONG.


Loi have Jared and Jared again,
Far up and down the ways of men,
And found no path strayed along
As happy as the hills of song.
As in the days when time began
Are played the merry pipes of Pan,
And never rises note OF wrong
Upon the happy hills of song.
There is no frost of doubt to blight;
The sun of faith sheds lustrous light:
To peace and JOY the hours belong
Upon the happy hills of song.
Then hol who will, and follow mel
Through fiowery meads the path shall be
Fear not the way is steep or long
Unto the happy hills of song.
Lol have Jared and Jared again,
Far up and down the ways of men,
And found no path strayed along
As happy as the hills of song.

Women in the Bank Of France.

women III Tie bank OF Trances
The Bank Of France employs a very
large number of women as accountants
in the classification of bills, in the classi-
tication of coupons and in the depart
ment of printing and binding. The
ladies employed in this category are
called danes titulaires They are paid
three francs (sixty cents) day, and are
required to pass preliminary examina-
ton in writing, spelling and arithmetic.
They must be from eighteen to thirty
five. In the printing Office an appren-
ticeship of two years is required as
pamphlet sewers. These women work
in the same shop as the men, and are
paid at exactly the same rates. After
twenty years service they are retired
with a pension of 400 francs $3.50. Rec
concentrations from influential persons
are requisite for obtaining places in the

or course regretted my hot language

Or course regretted my hot language
and wanted the little beggar back again.
1t was so lonely there on the desert. The
wires walled so heartbrokenly, while the
sun beat down SO fiercely in the daytime
and the coyotes yelled so dolefully at
night. How he had crept into my heart,
to be surei
1t was several days before we were on
satisfactory terms again. Tads wanted
to be. white man. He wanted to make
''tallk marks" on ''pupper' with feather
II sometimes used quill pen, be it re-
marked-and he wanted to speak with
his finger. Well, did manage to teach
him few letters from a railroad poster,
and he learned to drawl out s'T-a-d-s" in
a droll way. With perseverance that
was really startling afterward took
him in an uncertain way through page
or two of sCan you see the fat OK" and
so on, wherefore his heart was glad.
''Ill be wife mans, heap sure" he de-
clared in his bullfrog voice after he had
accomplished this wonderful feat.
Great distress racked Tad's soul on
the fatal day when the wickiups were
taken down and the tribe mounted its
mustangs to go over the hills. The
! Apaches had to search all over the sta
ton to find Tads. At Last they hauled
him forth from under my bunk, scream
ing like mad. OF no avail were his
screams, of no avail was his cry: ssMe
yanter stay wild himl Me yanter be w'ite
mans!"
Apache papas are unbending and
Apache mammas are inexorable. Away
they whisked Tads, leaving behind him
tenderfoot with queer feeling in his
throat.
"Well, the boy has the instincts of a
white man." I said, for l was proud of
what fancied had made of him, "and
he'll be shining light among those dew
ihsh people of his. If we had few more
like him to put among them, the Apache
question would settle itself and we could
set our soldiers to hoeing corn"
Then took up the restless life of a
city man, and big and busy railroad
Office claimed a good share of my atten-
ton for the next ten years. Yes, it was
fully that long before again set foot
upon the desert. Our train stopped at
the old station. How the pepper tree
had grown, to be sure. In it's shade sat
cavalry sergeant with half-dozen of
his men about him, and in their midst
were three Indian prisoners, who were
being taken to the fort to be shot.
They were fierce looking fellows, those
three savages. There was one-the young
est-who was perfect demon, the SOL
diers said.
"Killed three women and two babies
down at Mustang Wash last Tuesday,"
said the sargeant to me; "just aftA one
of them had given him his breakfast
too. He's young one, not more than
seventeen, l should say, but he's the
worst red devil ever saw"
Gazing at the boy captive, strange
feeling stole over me- The stolid face
was oddly familiar.
Ellis name? Blessed if l know" said
the sergeant. "What do you call your
self, young one?" he asked, giving him
not too delicate poke with the toe of his
boot.
"Me? Why. my names Tadsr' grunted
the boy.
''Tall1s pretty good English for wild
devil who has been over the Mexican
border SO long, doesn't he" asked the
sergeant, turning to me.
