CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug II. The
most intense excitement has seized upon
the people of this city. Col. Woolford,
Gstfide of weakened horse. has been
securing the city all day for men. Small
details have been doing duty trying to
conscript men for service, but almost
without avail.
The total number of men who left last
night did not reach 80. Their eouipment
was almost mockery of modern war
rare The militiamen evinced no eager
ness to enter the service of the country.
Unwilling soldiers were hauled from un-
der beds and other points of vantage
where they had taken refuge from con
scription officers.

break has occurred, is a little mining

guards.
About breakfast time the miners came
to the stockade. They demanded the
surrender of the place. "Come and take
us, was the answer sent by Superinten-
dent Farris.
Fire was at once opened. Seven hun
dred miners on one side glanced down the
barrels of their wepons, and streaks of
flame leaped from the muzzles as the
leaden messengers sped toward the block
house. The guards manfully answered
and the sharp crack of the rifles struck
terror to the hearts of the assailants.
A flag of truce was run up. Can't Far
rls respected it and called to the leader to
come and talk with him. Both sides rested
on their arms while the wounded were
removed.
1t is impo to say how many of the
miners were wounded or killed. Two
guards were slightly hurt. Quiet then
reigned, and hurried messages were sent
to the Governor.

Extracts from Metallic Money and
Hard Times"

1.-THE wealth producers oil the world are
enslayed by single erroneous belief:
general belief that the natural value Of gold
approximates its coined value as money"
1.-THE fact is no less significant than aston
ishing, however, that with few exceptions
professional and business men generally are
profoundly ignorant of the true nature and
character of money, and but few men can
give themselves satisfactory definition Of
what money really is.'
"When intelligent men generally shall
satisfy themselves by investigation which
they have not applied to the subject, that
most prevalent theories relating to money
are popular fallacies, systematically incui-
Gated and perpetuated by few of the great
benefciaries Of the specie basis system, there
will be substituted for our present financial
policy, one which will be followed by an
era of unprecedented prosperity for all
! industrious men,"
cit is not that gold or silver possesses a
peculiar value, that they are made the basis
by the laws of civilized nations for the Issue
of money. 1t is because the scarcity OF
these metals restricts the issue of money,
and consequently an indispensable necessity
| is not supplied in measure adequate 10 the
pecuniary requirements of producers. To
| thus restrict the issue is to breed interest.
Interest breeds luxury for a few, poverty
cy,l Want hrnodc THAT
not p wretcEedness, prostitution, drunken
ness, suicide,. crime"
ssAs society is at present benefited by the
| issue to bullion owners of legal represen-
| tative of their values for money purposes
so would it, in a similar manner be bene
| fited by an issue to land owners of legal
representative of their values for money
purposes"
"They who live without the performance
of useful labor upon unjust rates of interest
enjoy the advantage by snfferance only,
Society may at any time by the ballot remove
the means by which snch advantage is pos
sible. When il shall exercise this right,
greneral prosperity and happiness among
the people will succeed the present condi-
ton in which few live in luxury, thous
ands in an unsatisfactory state of discomfort,
and millions in ahject poverty and wretch
einess.'
"History does not record single instance
wherein the full legal tender money of any
nation has ever deprecated in value below
coin-for the obvious reason, that people
can, without inconvenience redeem their
paper money in labor products, when It is a
physica impossihility to redeem their
promises in one particular commodity or in a
legal device the value of which is circm-
scribed in the interest of SPECTATORS"

The Wall street mortgage sharks and

control and hold as they wish, for their
benefit, the volume of legal tender

are content to be saves and ever in

Party, e'ecting a Congress that will
create money sufficient to pay the
national debt they could then easily pay
their own debts as individuals and
would soon be free. That the people

How to Fold an Umbrella.

Many umbrellas are ruined by the
careless manner in which they are fold.
ed and put aside after using in the rain.
When folding an umbrella the cover
should be shaken out until all tho folds
lie free from the ribs. Then catch the
ends Of the ribs near the handle in the
right hand, and closing the left hand
firmly around the cover near the point,
push the umbrella through it, gently
turning the entire structure from left
to right until it is neatly folded. After
using an umbrella in the rain it should
be allowed to dry, handle downward.
