TERRELL ON SILVER
HE SPEAKS FOR INDEPBNDENr
FREE COINAGE.
Keller the Scene of Discussion Of
Live Issues by Tarrant Coun-
~ Speakers

Keller, Tex, Aug. 24.-Thls has been
n day of speech making at Keller.
County Attorney Ben NJ. Terrell, Hon.
5. o. Noodle and Assistant County
Attorney L. r. Cowan were the Ora
tors OF the day" Hon. Ben NJ Ter
rell was the first speaker. He gave
an interesting account Of what he
heard and saw during a three days
attendance on the recent Hofr- Harvey
debate at Chicago, much to the sat
isfaction OF his hearers. He then de-
livered a forclble and earnest address
In behalf OF the free coinage OF silver
taking the position that the long stag
nation in business and the present
low prices OF products We're directly
traceable to the lack OF sufficient
volume OF primary or redemption
money, "The free coinage of silver"
said he. "will increase the volume OF
such money more than one-half, and
will thereby increase proportlonately
the market price of commodities He
argued against the proposition Tor an
international settlement of the money
question, contending that the money
lenders OF this country and England
would not be foolish enough to strike
at their own interest by favoring the
interest OF the borrowers and masses,
"As long" said he, "as the annual
balance OF trade In favor OF the United
states is not sufficient to meet the an
nual interest on our bonded DEBT now
can this country, operating upon a
gold basis hope to relieve itself or
debt except by the policy OF a con-
tinued Issuance and sale of bonus,
thereby placing itself still deeper into
the Hons mouth"
Mr.. Terrell claimed that Independent
action was the sure and safe road to
n double standard, and advocated our

very handsome seal skin wraps. Ar
| irving at the dressing-room, the checks
for them were handed out and my
daughter put them between her teeth
for moment while she was adjusting
a portion of her dress. She had occa-
sion to speak to me and so dropped the
checks on the floor, and we were about
to hurry off to the ball room. 1 was de-
termined, however, not to lose our
wraps and so sent for friend who was
one Of the reception committee, and we
went into the cloak-room, where I
identified the sealskin wraps and got
fresh checks for them. At the close of
the ball, when we went for them, the
man in charge told me that Mrs. Blank,
one of the ultra-fashionable women of
the Four Hundred, had presented the
lost checks and insisted upon my seal
skin wraps being delivered to her.
When she was informed of what had
