Both Legs Gone.

Joseph Maroney, a stranger, me,
with a terrible accident at this place
last Wednesday night. According
to his own story he came from Aus
tin, Texas, and when he reached
this point he attempted to board a
train, when he fell across the rails,
resulting in both legs being tearfully
mangled.
Drs. To1son, Martin and Girard
kindly volunteered their services
and amputated both legs, this opera
ton being deemed necessary to give
him a chance for his life. He was
sent to New Orleans to be placed in
the hospital. In speaking Of his
chances for recovery and his arrival
in the city, The Item says: ere
covery in u case of this kind is out
of the ordinary and seldom occurs,
but it will not be a all surprising if
Maroney pulls through from his
present danger. He has wonderful
courage and relating the true facts
of his actions this morning would
strike most people as almost base
fabrications. Maroney came to the
city seated on the floor of coach
with his back against the wall and
eating peaches from a can. His
mangled limbs were wrapped up in
cotton soaked with drugs, and while
the pain must have been excruciat-
ing the poor fellow hardly uttered a
cry from agony. An ambulance
was summoned and Maroney was
removed to the hospital, where he
was worked upon for some time in
the amphitheatre and then placed in
a ward. His condition was pro-
nounced very serious and the
chances for recovery poor"

GOLD STANDARD HAS RUINED

lucky. Mr.. Fassett, in conversation
with the Enquirer correspondent TO-
day, said:
THE British syndicate is engaged
In the production of coffee, bananas.
tobacco and rubber on a very large
scale, and until seven months ago was
ia an especially thrifty condition.
But the adoption of a single gold
standard for British Honduras dt that
time had so demoralizing an effect on
the country that the value OF pro-
ducts, as we'll as labor, has fallen off
one-half. Up to that time we paid our
laborers $l2 per month. Now we pay
them IS. Everything else is in pro
portion, and the country is thoroughly
demoralized. The United States
should take warning by this example
and adopt the double standard. The
single gold standard won't work any

RICH AND"POOR

While dinner was being given to ex-
Governor Flower, of New York, at the
Hotel Waldorf, one night recently by the
members of his old staff, where the table
was decorated with $500 worth of flow
ers and the menu cards were covered with
lizard skins and decorated with gold, in
the center of which were the great mans
initials, four deaths Of starvation in the
streets of the big metropolis were recorded
for the very same night. Yet the people
who are striving to even down and even
up this condition of things are looked up
on as only "cranks" in the community,
and the exhibition of luxurious d;ssipa-
ton and the dance of death" move on
apace. This government, too, is still
known as a republic, and sung of as "the
land of the free and the home of the
brave; and the fellows who read their
bill of fare from lizard skin encased gold
centered cards are called Democrats. -
Oh, Lord! what perverted definition of
that sacred Massachusetts Popu-
list.

BONDS COMING HOME.

A recent dispatch from New York
makes the statement that thirty million
dollars worth of United States four per
cent bonds, sold abroad, by the Belmont
Morgan-R othschild Syndicate, and which
were delivered in London to individual
subscribers, have been returned to the
United States.
The dispatch adds this is new danger
which the syndicate will have to face,'
The query naturally arises, ''for what
purpose are these bonds, subscribed and
paid for in London, returned to the United
States?" There can be but one answer
they are being called home by the ma
tional banks of the country.
If it shall occur that large portion of
the sixty million dollars worth of bonds.
which comprise the last issue by this gov
eminent, shall find their way back into
the United States, thereby returning just
so much gold to Europe, then will there
be established another endless circuit"
for the purposes of draining the United
States treasury of its gold, with bonds as
the foundation instead of greenbacks.
OF course it is well understood by every
reader of financial literature, that the
United States greenbacks are not only re-
deemable on demand in gold at the treas
ury and sub-treasuries of the United
States, but the treasury has the right to
the reissue of these greenbacks, using
them in payment for all government ex-
penses precisely as If they were gold dol
lars 1t is because of this fact that it be-
comes so easy to drain the treasury of it's
gold reserve.
Any ten leading national banks of Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia could,
in single day, remove fifty millions Of
gold from the treasury of the United
States, by simply presenting greenbacks
for redemption. AS the government
turns Immediately around and pays out
the green backs, it follows of course that
this paper money is used in continued
CIRCLE" and largely for the purpose of
speculation.
If now the bonds, which are sold
abroad for the purpose of obtaining gold
to replenish the treasury of the Uni
ted States with gold which is drain
ed out by redeeming greenbacks,
are to be returned to the United States

The cotton exports of last year were
enormous in quantity, and in this respect
exceeded those of the previous year by
more than 100000 bales, and exceeded
those of the big crop year, 1922, when
100000 bales were produced in the coun-
try, by more than million bales. But
while expectations last year were the
largest in the history of the country the
prices realized were so low-averaging
barely six cents a pound, against about
eight cents in the preceding year-that
the total value of the expectation of about
seven million bales was only $206, $50 ,843,
or about $4,00O,00O less than in 1893, and
was $50 ,000, 900 less than in 1891, when the
average price realized was about nine

at $3.50, S69,777 The following table gives
