Kelly Says

The silver dollar Is as good as gold.
Uncle Sam says when put my initials on
n silver dollar it is rs so d as gold, nc
M after where You ~, and KELLY says
here Is the proof A few weeks ago
went into Brokers Office in this city and
| put down 25 silver Dollars on his desk.
and told him l wanted TO send 1t to my
father in the Old Country, and l asked
him how much they would be worth when
they L,ot there. aud he said they would be
worth sovereigns or $25 90 in gold: b
told me- the truth. because this morning
received letter stating that l got your
draft which received gold sovereigns
for this morning. thanks, etc.
This knocks the foundation from under
that argument that q silver dollar is worth
only Sc CO. Is
silver is the peoples money. One OF
KELLY'S reasons for saying so is this
Abundance of money means high wages
high wages means extravaganza and it Is
our extravaganza that have made us the
the happiest people on the face of the
globe For the last rs years our finances
have been governed by the silver dollar,
and if you can find any other country that
have been anv more progressive han We
have we should adopt their method for the
basis of money.
One other re4son that every banker and
broker and money loAner in the land
wants the United States to stop making
silver dollars in order TO increase their
rates of interest. Another reason why we
shnuld coin silver dollars is that 1t lakes
$3S 600 900 year 10 keep up the circula
ton of $25 to every individual. We add

that this is a very important r-sson now
where the individual, the private cor

country injur by an arrangement under
which IS, 600, 900 or 50 500, 900 of money
is monthly taken out of the treasury and

I'VE have heard of panics from q scarcity
of money. 1t is possible that our panic

proceeded with
After some further discussion the
subject was dropped and the house
proceeded with the second reading of
the army bill. DIR. Lieber, centrist,
made a speech against the bill. but adj
vanced no reason against its adoption
beyond those employed by him against
the original bill in the last rcichstag.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, who has re-
covered from his recent sickness re-
piled to DR.. LIeber's arguments, and
concluded Dv asking the house to pa,
the bill in the shortest time possible.
Count Won llompesch, clerical, made
the first speech against the army bill.
lie made an elaborate defense of the
clerical party's attitude toward the
measure. The clerical party, he said,
had never been confessional or
church party, although it had under
taken as its nohlest duty the potection
OF Roman catholicism in Germany.
This, however, had not been it's sole
duty. The clericals had striven to
maintain the federal character of the
empire, to pr :ect civil liberties and to
further the moral and material inter
ests OF all classes, These had been
the party's ideals. The charge had
been made that the party had swung
the left, had abandoned many OF its
conservative traditions and had driven
fIom its ranks those who declined TO
accept its new tendencies. All these
charges were unfounded in fact The
party was still in the best sense con.
servative: it's desire was still to fortify
popular obedience to the authority OF
church and state. .

directors have come to the conclusions
that in view OF the light attendance IL
the Fair on Sunday II will lie a good
business move TO close the Exposition
on that day. In reaching this de-
cision they do not alter their views on
the desirability of an open Fair, as
such, but they recognize the fact that
with many of the buildings closed and
exhibits covered, the people will not
spend their only day of rest there
II have not the slightest doubt

with nearly every member OF the cor

does not think that under the circum-
,tances the wisest thing to be done is
to go back to Sunday closing. II is
not a question of religion or creed
out the will of the p, ople They
thought they were doing SO W hen the
Sunday-opening order was passed, but
the disadvantages of sightseeing on
that day have kept the large crowds
expected away, and il is good bust
ness policy t. close the fair on that
day. | am as ardent an advocate of
Sunday opening as anybody, but think
that is the only course of action now"
Many other directors feel the same
way, and when tn delegation of rep
rcsentatives Of evangelical churches
appear before them tomorrow to urge
the closing of the gates ii is almost
certain that their request will be
granted. Rev. DR.. Simon j. McPher-
son of the Second PRESBYTERIAN church,
Rev, DR.. Frank NJ. Bristol of Trinity
Methodist church, Rev. William NJ
Lawrence of the Second Baptist
church, and DR. Gilbert, editor
of the Advance, the organ of
the Congregational church, will pre-
sent the directors AIN appeal signed by
twelve prominent representatives OF
the four Evangelical churches just
named. Besides the members OF the
committee the petition will be signed
by Bishop stephen NJ. Merrill, DIR.
Arthur Edwards Of the Northw esterD
Christian Advocate. the Rev. DR.. John
III. Barrows, the Rev. DR.. Frederick
the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus DR.. +. Il.

delegation will promise the co-opera-
ton OF 20, 600, 900 church member in
making the fair grand success il
their prayer is granted and the gates
closed on Sunday.
The hundreds of thousands of people
who clamored for Sunday opening
while ago offer M objection They
were only justly end 'avoring to estab-
lish the ct that this is not Saba
tartan nation and that Sunday is day
of rest. Having accomplished their
object they now care little whether
the gates are opened or closed. so
whatever is done by the directory to-
morrow, the Sabbatarians will have
been badly beaten anyway. They
will have nothing to brag about.
