The patrol wagon was sent for and Nc

North Dakota Dropping Silver.

A Fargo dispatch to the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press says that the free silver
craze in North Dakota is over. The
political and commercial relations of
the Dakotas and Minnesota are so
close that the success of the free silver
men in North Dakota has been sur
prising in view of the solidity of the
sound money sentiment of Minnesota.
The three states are peopled by sub
stantially the same classes, and it is not
improbable that the sound money sem
timent which has all along maintained
itself in Minnesota should be on the
point Of reasserting itself in the Da-
kotas. One of the best speeches on
the money question made in Congress
this winter was made by Representa-
tive johnson, of North Dakota, and
the Pioneer Press dispatch says that
with the rank and file of the Republic
cans Mr.. johnson is the most popular
man in the state, and mainly on ac-
count of his stand on the money ques-
tion. The politicians OF North Dakota
are said to be beginning to drop sill
yer and put themselves in line with
the sound money Republicans, and
when the rats desert the ship the
is not far of.

THE SOUTH,S INTERESTS.

In q recent interview Mr.. A. X.
McC editor of the Philadelphia
Times, said:
1.-THE first need of the South to-
day is credit, faith in It's government
and in the integrity OF its contracts.
II needs money and it needs inmigra-
tion. There is no place in the world
where both can be SO profitably en-
ployed. While there are hundreds OF
millions Of capital idle in the worlds
money centres. it will not seek invest
ment in any state that is not squarely
for honest money, and that does not
resolutely MAINTAIN its faith in paying
every dollar in the money that is in
trinsically worth its face in any coun-
try"
Mr.. Mcclure has for twenty years
been one of the staunchest and most
useful friends the South has had. He
has done more, perhaps, than any
other man to attract attention to the
resources and possibilities Of this SEQ
ton.
There are many evidences that the
agitation for the free, unlimited and
Independent coinage Of silver at 16 10
! has done the South immense injury.
We have no doubt that 1t has pre-
vented the investment Of many millions
of outside capital in Southern indus
tries; Southern real estate and southern
securities. We are happy in the as
surance, however, that this barrier to
Southern progress will soon be re-
moved.
The Democratic party is certain to
make clear and straightforward dec
laration for sound money and the
South will be found solid on that plat
form.
The day of the free silver demagogue
is fast drawing to close and few
months hence the most cautious capt.
talist will have no reason to apprehend
that the South is given over to the
free silver folly. Atlanta Journal.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10
A Universal standard.

Advocates of free coinage attempts
to answer the believers in sound
money, who point out the injury to
our foreign trade which would be
caused by our abandoning the measure
of value used by all the great COM
mercial nations. by saying that uni
versal standard of value is not q neces-
sity Of commerce, and that we should
continue to trade with other countries,
even though we did use silver instead
Of gold. This is doubtless true, but
it is also true that the use of differ
emit standard of values would cause
confusion and act as real obstruction
to trade. A universal language is not
q commercial necessity, yet 1t is GER
tain that our trade with South Africa.
for instance, has suffered because the
agents of our exporters have not been
familiar with the Spanish language.
In the same way the adoption Of the
currency system which has been aban-
doned By nearly all civilized nations
would b . decided disadvantage TO
our business men.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10
SOUND CURRENCY PROBLEM.

Thrifty, provident wage-earners and
salaried men in large numbers carry
small life insurance policies. II this
country should ever 60 on silver
basis, the great insurance companies
would profit immensely by it, for
their thousands of millions of dollars
invested in mortgages would still have
to be paid in gold--they are written
that wsy-while the widows and or.
phans Of their policy holders would
suffer by having their policies paid in
silver, the purchasing power of which
would be only one-half as much as
that Of the gold which they would
otherwise receive. Look at the re-
suit:
