thoroughly discussed by p. w. Raidabaugh,
of Chicago, William Wooten, L. c. Sller,
S. E. Nicholson and Abiiah Wooten. Many
opinions were expressed, but mono op-
posed singing or the use OF the

public worship. Others were strictly OPP
posed to worshiplng God by machinery.
and would not cOuntenance the use OF the

AMERICAN COIN ABROAD.

Your silver is not money when it reaches
the old world: it Is bullion. Yonr Nation
can only make money Ior its own people.
General Weaver was arguing III favor
of the unlimited free coinage of silver,
and in support of that idea asserted in
effect that our money should be made
for home use exclusively and without
my reference to its value abroad 1t Is
true that American coin does not circu-
late In England, but it is not true. as
silver coin are rated there merely as
bullion. No coin but English coin cir
culates in England. French, German
and other continental coins are on the
same footing as American coins. None
of them circulate az money. They are,
however, taken by the money changers
at tn cir coin value and converted into
English coin, with small charge for
exchange. There is a good deal of
American gold coin in England, but
very little silver, and, while neither of
them circulates as money, both are con-
vertible into English coin at their face
value, barring small per cent. for ex-
change. They are nowhere rated as
bullion. as General Weaver says.

THE Democrats in the congressional
districts in this State have nominated
several men who are weak from party
point of view, and several who should
be defeated for personal reasons. Mr..
Cooper deserves defeat for the OK
posture of his connection with the sell
ing of useless advice to pension claim
ants by his clerk. by which hundreds.
trusting to his official position, have
been swindled. Mr.. Cooper pleads the
baby act, but the man in whose name
thousands of fraudulent certificates
were printed is not fit to be in Congress
if he does not find out about such things.
Mr.. Holman, if the choice depended mp
on his Democratic colleagues in Con-
gress, would not be reelected. He
has brought nothing but humiliation
upon Indiana in connection with the
appropriations committee in the prese mt
House. For other reasons Colonel Conn
IS weak candidate. He has been
kicker in the party, and has recently
used his paper to defeat the candidates
of his own party. But it is down in the
books that the Republicans will carry
the Thirteenth district. Before Mr..

over, and bears the government stamp
as to its fineness. Silver coin is con-
vertible because it ia exchangeable at
its face value with gold. If unlimited
free silver coinage should prevail to
such an extent as to depreciate the sill
yer dollar and drive gold out of the
country, then our silver coin would
cease to be convertible in England at it's
face value, and would be, as General
Weaver incorrectly says it is now,
rated only as bullion. AT present it is
rated as money, because we have the
bimetallic standard and silver is ex-
changeable with gold. But with free
silver coinage and the expulsion of gold,
establishing monometallic standard,
our silver coin would cease to have any
money value abroad, and would only be
bought by the pound.
The argument of General Weaver that
our currency should be regulated with
out any reference to foreign countries
is fallacious and dangerous. 1t is akin
to the demand for a paper currency
which will stay at home and circulate
only in the neighbOrhood where it is
issued. Any deprecated currency will
do that, but no paper currency that is
good as gold can be kept from circu-
lating far and wide. A stay at home
paper currency means deprecated cur
rency. So a metallic currency that has
no money value in foreign countries
means base currency. We cannot di-
vorce ourselves from the worlds stand
ard of value. try hard as we may.
