ages which were claimed to have been
sustained while the sheriff was acting in
his official capacity, and the jury brought
in n verdict for the sheriff.
The first case on Monday morning was
an action on account, the General Elec-

appeals to the supreme court on bill OF

WHY PROSPERITY RETURNED.
Because the Drift OF Public Opinion Is
Opposed TO q Silver Basis.

Secretary Of the Navy Hilary A. Her
bert delivered a strong sound currency
speech at Montgomery, Ala, on Oct. 4.
BE said in part:
What our currency shall consist OF
is a question TO be decided on business
principles. There is 4 sentimental OBJ
lection to gold INDUCED in by some
that it is the money Of the rich-but 1t
does not seem to me that this should
have any weight because, in my opinion,
the poor man is entitled to as good mon
ev as the rich. There is Il sentimental
argument in favor of tie silver dollar
because it is said to have been the dol
lar of our fathers. 1t does not seem TO
me that this argument should have any
weight, because it is not founded on fact.
1.-The fair presumption Is that neither
your father nor mine nor any other
mans father who died prior TO 1873
ever handled enough American silv,r
dollars TO keep him out Of the poor
house.
81 know Of no more effective way of
crippling the soath and its industries
than for our people to clamor for the
payment of debts already contracted
and hereafter TO be contracted in depre-
ciated silver dollars.
Fortunately for this country the
effects of the panic Of 1898 are rapidly
passing away. Money has begun to flow
again in its accustomed channels. Wheat
has risen in price, cotton has risen IN
price, iron has risen in price, industries
are reopenmg everywhere, wages are in-
creasing, and al this comes from the
fact that the capitalists of this country
who are shrewd. farseeing and who
watch with keen eye the doings Of every
political convention have come TO tho
conclusion that the free silver sentiment
in the United States is not strong enough
and not powerful enough to force this
country to q silver basis.
"They understand that there Is 10
free silver sentiment in the east none
in New England, none in New York,
none in Maryland, New Jersey, Della
ware or Pennsylvania.
"They see that Republicans and Dem
ocrats in the state Of Ohio have pro-
nounced against free silver; that Re
publicans and Democrats in the state Of
Kentucky have pronounced against free
silver; that only part Of the Democrats
in the other states Of the west and south
are for free silver, and they are conf
dent, az l am, that the people Of the
United States, whatever else may hap
pen, Will in 1896 pronounce for the con-
tinuanoe Of sound money, for the parity
with gold Of every dollar Of silver and
Of paper now afoat or to be hoated in
the United States"

a coin twice as large, as dollar worth
Its face as bullion would necessarily be,

continually changing value Of silver,
owing to increased or decreased produc-
ton or consumption, would require its

a dollar is not measure Of length,

as would be an attempt to call yard

length, OF a pound Of ten ounces weight
a true measure Of weight. The only true
measure Of value is a measure which
contains full value. Any other sort Of a

"Money is the lifeblood Of trade" is
q fayorite fallaoy Of the silverites and
fat money iuhationists This idea arises
from ignorance Of the real nature of the
operations of industry and commerce.
Money is merely one of the tools Of
business. Its functions have no resem-
blauce to that of the blood in the human
system. Ii does nothing toreplace goods
which have been consumed, nor does it
of itself produce anything or add to the
wealth Of the country. The real life
blood Of business is the volume Of the
products Of farm, mine or workshop con-
tinuously flowing all over the country.
They furnish us with the means Of sub
sistence, renew our strength and minis
