THE fact that $4,5OO,0O0 worth of
silver is purchased each month by The
government. together with the usual
demand for silver for use in the arts,
and the probable favorable action of
of the National House of Representa-
tives upon the Free Coinage Bill, does
not tend to increase the price of that
metal, is good evidence by which to
reach the conclusion that the silver dol
lar as now coined, will not be, and cannot
be made by any process Of law, equal
in value with the gold dollar. The
consequence then will be the same as
in the case of the paper dollar of 1865.
In that case there was doubt of the
ability Of the Government to redeem
its pledge. In the case Of the silver
dollar the question may not be upon
the financial condition of the Govern
ment as to the redemption, or rather
making good of the silver dollar, but
the question will be as to the desire Of
the Government to pay to the citizen
the loss occasioned by the use of
deprecated dollar.
Through all the arguments made in
favor Of the free coinage Of silver runs
the idea that by the use of a dollar of
less value than one hundred cents, the
man who was financially crippled by
the depreciation Of the paper dollar,
may regain what he has lost. But the
silver men have never yet advanced
an idea as to what is to be done for
that other class of our citizens who
will be injured by the use of another
kind Of deprecated money. Whenever
the use of deprecated currency has
injured one class Of persons, that class
has invariably insisted that relief
should be provided and it has been
done. In the present case the men
who bought land at high rates, and
now find themselves unable to pay for
it on account of the great purchasing
power of the gold dollar, which brings
down the price of what they have to
sell, are demanding the depreciation of
the currency in order that they may be
placed upon the same plane occupied
BY them at the time Of purchase.
Suppose the Free Coinage bill should
pass, with silver at its present value.
The bushel Of wheat which now
brings $1.O0 would then be worth about
$1.30. This would be a very nice
arrangement for the man whom a
deprecated currency could benefit, but
what would be the condition of the
creditor who would be compelled to
accept the silver dollar for a debt
which in reality is one dollar and thirty
cents. In other words the creditor
would suffer loss upon loan made
under the provisions of one law and
collected under the entirely different
provisions Of another.
It is class legislation whichever way
it is taken and should be avoided by
the Democratic party. That party has

Cleveland at IS.

Grover Cleveland was 55 years old
last week. He is sound of wind and
limb, and in the full vigor Of his men,
tai faculties. His worst enemies do
not impeach his honesty, and can
not question his capability for
faithful service to his country. Three
ffths Of his party desire his renomina-
tion for the Presidency, and the disin.
tegration consequent upon the discus
sion Of the silver question renders
more imperative such a closing up Of
the lines as it does not seem possible
to effect by the choice Of any other
candidate. AS the The time for decis-
ion approaches there is evidence on
every hand of a recurrence of the
wave of Cleyelandism that swept over
the country last November after the
result of the election had become
known. 1t would show most incap.
able leadership to thrust Cleveland
aside, in defiance of the desire of the
masses, because he has failed to please

70 Test the Valued Policy Law.


A very interesting insurance case
will be tried in the Superior Court of
Sussex county at its session in April
next, to test the validity of the Valued
Policy Insurance Law. The suit will
be between the Sussex Manufacturing
Company, of which Charles 81. Treat
is president, and the Royal Insurance
Company of Liverpool, England. Two
other companies, the Sun Fire Insur-
ancs Company. of London, England,
and the Southern Insurance Company,
of New Orleans, are interested in the
suit, but will accept the result Of this
suit, which is made as test case. The
amount Of insurance involved is $4,000.
The Withholding of this amount on a
technical point of law has prevented
the rebuilding Of the factory of this
company, which was destroyed by fire
in September last.
The suit grows out Of the refusal of
the agents Of the Royal Insurance
Company of London, and of the Sun
Insurance Company of London to sign
the report of the adjusters. The losses
have all been adjusted and the papers
in the case made up, and the losses on
the building, machinery and stock, by
companies outside Of this state-that
is, non-licensed companies doing busi-
ness here-has been paid. The agents
of the two companies named, withheld
their signatures from the adjustor's
reports because they preferred to re-
port the matter to their companies as
a favorable opportunity to test the
validity of the Valued Policy law.
The companies thereupon issued
notices declining to pay the claims as
made up by their adjustors. The rea-
son for this action is that the different
valuations of the property destroyed
had been stamped on the various insur-
snce policies issued upon it, and this
fact under the law invalidated these
policies.
The different valuations had been
made by these companies, each agent
making a different valuation of the
property and stamping them on the
different policies as they were issued,
but this is not accepted as proof of the
companies liability under the law.
This will be one Of the most impor-
tant suits that was ever brought in
the Delaware courts. If the stamping
of these policies Of insurance with diff
ferent valuations releases the company
from losses incurred, they can avoid
the payment of any loss by choo sing to
stamp different valuations on the poll
cies issued on the same property. 1t
is understood that no two agencies
construe the law alike in regard to
stamping valuations Of property on the
policies. Morning News.

A Good Sermon.

The Wilson Mirror of last week con-
tains the following notice of sermon
preached in that place by Rev. DR.. w.
D. Morton, of Henderson:
DR.. Morton preached in the Presby-
terrain church on Monday night, and a
large crowd turned out to hear him,
and everybody was charmed and de-
lighted-yea, perfectly fascinated with
his excellent and felicitous discourse.
He made no effort at display. He
made no attempt to scale the lofty
Andes of poetic beauty, and Gull those
rare and precious flowers Of thought
as they glisten in the brilliant flashing
of the Aurora of fancy. He did not
erect any stately columns of majestic,
eloquence, and enwreathe them with
the thrilling fires of an enrapturing
oratory; but his utterances were sweet
winning, seductive and charming; his
manner was plain, tender, unaffected
and delightful; his language was clear
limpid, chaste and pelucid; and his
sermon was sound, wholesome, instruc
tive and edifyipg.

An Old Fake.

The following, reproduced from
memory after lapse of twenty years,
may be of some interest to the curious.
1t shows the importance of punctua-
ton. 1t may be read in two ways,
making a very bad man or a very good
man, the result depending upon the
manner in which it is punctuated: He
is an old and experienced man in vice
and wickedness he is never found
opposing the walks of iniquity he takes
delight in the downfall of his neighbors
he never rejoices in the prosperity of
any of his fellow creatures he is always
ready to assist in destroying the peace
of society among his friends and ac-
quaintances he takes no pride in serv-
ing the Lord he gives that heed to the
devil he will never go to heaven he
must go where he will receive just
recompense Of reward.-Durham Globe.
