MANDERsoN's PROPOSITION
He Offers a Compromise GU the Part
of the Silver Men.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--The financial
emergency came up in the Senate this
afternoon, when Mr.. Henderson rep,
Neb. presented resolution on the sub
ject He prefaced it by saying that some
compromise was necessary. There must
be giving and taking. The resolution
directs the committee on finance to pre-
pare a resolution having the following
essential features;
First-Directing the secretary of the
treasury to maintain reserve of $780,
600, 700 in gold and $2O0,O0O,0OO in silver,
Second-The issue of bonds payable at
the option of the holder either in gold
or silver.
misunderstanding notes to be pay
able either in silver or gold, at the OPP
ton OF the holder.
Fifth-National banks 10 be author
lied TO use the foregoing bonds as basis
for issuing notes, and the tax on notes Ia
be removed.
Sixth-Import duties from countries
having the gold standard TO be payable
in gold, and from countries having the
silver standard TO be payable either In
gold or silver, at the option OF the i'm
porter
Seventh-To authorize the coinage O
silver at the ratio OF 10 TO 10 the capac
ity OF the mint.

inconvertible paper money lasts, the
greater the danger"
Massachusetts at one time issued ire
deemable paper money and an over-issue
followed which brought trade into the
utmost confusion and production to the
utmost weakness"
Russia in 1919 followed with like re-
suits.
On account OF this money, Austria,
since 1918, has twice been hurled into
insolvency.
Walker gives two instances where
paper money was not over-issued but
Mr.. Bagehot in his work says Of one Of
these, "The note of the bank of France
has not been deprecated enough to
disorder ordinary transactions, but any
depreciation, eren The liability to dCprecid-
ton is enough to disorder exchange tran
sactions." Walker says of these two
instances, that it would not have Injured
to the benefit of the government, or
there would have been an over-issue.
Edmund Burke says, "Real money
money with intrinsic value) can not
multiply too much in country because
it is the sign OF the increase OF trade /;
but paper money increases without any
increase OF trade, nay, often when trade
greatly declines, for it is not the measure
of the trade of the nation, but OF the
necessity of the government"
Certainly have quoted enough au-
thorities if they know anything about
the history of paper money, to show
that there will be an over-issue and that
merely a liability to over-issue causes
disaster and disturbances. Then such
money can not be good.
have shown from the history OF this
paper money that there is always an
over.issue or tendency to over-issue
and even in this case it is enough to
disorder exchange and turn profit into
less.
In my next l will show the effects Of
inconvertible paper money on foreign
exchange and upon that portion OF oul
citizens doing business with foreigners.

ITS PURCHASING AND DEBT-PAYING row.
Err"
Now suppose as. p. U.s." father had
sent his son to r. p. SIS. school (which
is an excellent institution and were In
debted to him in the sum of 800 for
tuition. But, for the time being, he is
without the money necessary to dis
charge this obligation However, he
owns horse which he values at 500.
This horse he offers to X. p. S. for the
debt, but r. p. s. has no use for the
horse and demands the legal tenders. 1
have 800 in government legal tenders
paper money. 1 need the horse and
agree to take him at his owners valua-
ton. With this money which S. p. Us.
father has received for his horse he goes
to r. p S. and tenders it in payment of
his Indebtedness to him. Again, r. p.
s. uses this 500 in payment OF any debts
owing by him or in purchasing supplies
of whatever kind needed to the amount
OF 800 in value. Now let me ask, what
gave that 500 in government legal tend
ers value-purchasing and debt-paying
power-if it was not the stamp of the
g0rernmehl
Did not the stamp Of the government
confer all the pOWer9 and functions of
money on those pieces of r. p. SIS.
worthless papel?" Was not the pur-
chasing and debt-paying power of that
800 precisely the same?
Did it not purchase for me horse
worth 500 in value? Did it not dis
charge 500 of indebtedness for rs. p.
Us" father? Did it not purchase 800
OF value in worth for r. p. s.?
Now this, by what process of reason
ing will my friend, X p S., reason out
that the stamp of the government confers
debt paying poicer but not purchasing poweri
Ali the value which that government
money had rds conferred by lar, both its
value as medium of exchange and as
legal tender for payments.
Now l have demonstrated the truth of
these points:
First-All money is fiat money.
Second-There is no intrinsic value in
money, nor any necessity for any.
1hird-Money derives its value from
the limitation OF its quantity.

TO BE A COMMERCIAL EXHIBIT.
savannah's Display Mt Atlanta to
Represent Commerce.

Represent Commerce.
The industrial committee will meet this
afternoon at 4:SO o'clock to receive the re-
port Of the special committee on the ex-
position exhibit. The meeting is called
at the request of the committee, which
has about agreed on what 1t wants to do
and will now ask for fun power from the
general committee to go ahead and prepare
the exhibit
The most important step taken by the
committee was to elect Capt Purse chair
man. He resigned from the committee
when his appointment was announced, and
requested that his place be filed The
committee succeeded in prevailing upon
him, however, to rescind his original res
olution and to accept the craftsmanship.
The understanding is that he will be placed
in full charge Of the exhibit both the pre-
paration and the display. The only con-
dition made by Capt Purse in accepting
was that he should have ali the assistance
from the committee that it could possibly
give him.
The idea of the exhibit as agreed upon by
the committee is that 1t should represent
Savannahs commercial Importance. The
effort will be made to give general repre-
sentation to all interests and industries,
but the idea upon which the whole will
hinge will be commerce. The model of the
old steamship Savannah. the first steam
ship to cross the Atlantic, and the model
of the Kansas City will occupy prominent
places in the exhibit representing the
strides of ocean commerce. The first model
is loaned by the Georgia Historical So
ciety and the second by the Central rail-
road.
Especial attention will be given to the
historical features Of the exhibit and
prominent positions will be given to the
display of the Georgia Historical Society
and colonial relics loaned by citizens. The
committee will invite ideas and suggest
tions from other members Of the industrial
committee and from citizens generally.

MEANT TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Then william j. winberg shot and
killed Himself.

William J. wlnberg shot and wounded
his wife. formerly Miss Middleton Of this

Is the daughter Of W. J. Middleton Of this
city. and is a sister Of Mrs. Nat Harrison,
and Mrs. Webster She married winberg.
who was a former Charlestonian. several
years ago. and went to New York to live.
They had three children. The story Of the
tragedy as told By the New York Herald is
as follows:
THE Winberg family live in sorhei place
in the village Of Union Course, Queens
county, which Is Just across the city line.
Winberg Is connected with the German
American Improvement Company Of East
New York. He lived in a handsome house
and the members Of his household consist
ed of his wife, three children and a SER
want. Henrietta, sely. Miss Florence
Gibbs OF Savannah. a friend Of his wife,
was visiting the family.
Winberg came home Tuesday evening
and appeared to be distracted In his man
ner. he had tea with his family at
o'clock and during the meal he paid little
attention TO what was said to him. He
nad evidently been drinking to excess.
Miss Gibbs and the servant put the chill
dren to bed at about half past eight
o'clock. They were coming down stairs
when they heard a pistol shot and
scream, followed a few seconds later by
another shot and the fall Of heavy body.
THE sounds came from the parlor. The
door was barred by the body of Winberg,
which lay across 1t. When they forced ii
open they found Mrs. Winberg leaning
against the wall. HE has shot me, Ell
ta," she said, addressing the servant
"A revolver with two chambers discharg-
ed was clutched in Winberg's hand.
''Dr. Cochran, who was summoned, noti-
fed the police of the Liberty street sta
ton. Capt. Corwin sent patrolmen to take
charge. awaiting the arrival of the Queens
county authorities. The body Of Winberg
was left in the center of the floor. The
children, who were asleep when the shoot
ing took place, slept peacefully through 1t
all and were not disturbed.
AN ambulance was summoned, and Mrs.
Winberg was taken to St. Mary's Hospital
A bullet had penetrated her right lung,
and she was in a dangerous condition. It
is hardly expected that she will live
1t is said that Winberg was moved to
do what he did by some stories about Mrs.
Winberg's conduct which had been told
to him yesterday afternoon by a discharg-
cd servant girl. He was of an exceedingly
Jealous temperament He was the father
Of three young children, two, three and
seven years old. He seemed to have been
very much attached to his family"
Mrs. Winberg spent last winter in Savan-
nah with her sisters and returned to New
York early in the summer. No particulars
Of the tragedy are known here beyond
what have been published. Mrs. Harri-
son has gone to New York, accompanied
by DR.. r. j. Num- to attend her sister.

A FLOOD IN THE RIVER.
A Rise of 2n Feet in the savannah at
Augusta in IL Hours.


Savannah had another incipient flood
yesterday. Nearly 2ls inches of rain fell
during the day, most Of 1t in the after
noon. It came down in torrents and for
a time it looked as if there would be con-
siderable damage.
The streets in low places were under
water, and the sand was washed into
heaps wherever there was a decline. The
sewers had all they could do to carry off
the water and several breaks occurred.
The park had its usual lake and wherever
there was a hollow there was a pond
The rainfall here was small compared
with that further in the interior. The
heaviest rains were above Augusta. The
streams in South Carolina and Georgia
poured into the Savannah in torrents.
The river at Augusta rose from Si5 feet
at o'clock in the morning to 291a feet at
s o'clock last night, rise of nearly TWEEN
ty-one feet in twelve hours.
The heaviest rains reported TO the
weather bureau, 2s4 inches at Waynes-
boro PA inches at Washington, "a inches
at Union Point, inches at Camak and .
inches at Allendale and Greenwood, S.
c.
Under ordinary circumstances 1t would
take a week or perhaps more for the
flood to reach Savannah, and unless the
rains continue little damage is feared in
this section by rice men and others. Along
the river, for fifty or seventy-five miles
below Augusta, IL is likely considerable
damage will result.
There has been an excess OF rain of 3&
inches so far this month and of 1917 inches
since Jan. 1.
