table that he exhibited to you
same as far as it goes that
since 1874 the production of silver has
been constantly on the increase. Gold
since 1875 has been constantly increas-
ing in quantity, too-but gold has in
creased since 1873 from $90,75O,OO0
worth in one year to $181, $40, 0O0-just
about double. Silver, in those same
years has increased from 81 800 900 up
to $214, 381 ,OOO while gold increased
only twice, silver has increased just
about three times.
Harvey Primary Money.
Mr.. Harvey was discussing the re-
lation of primary and credit money, and
had called your attention to the fact that
supply and demand regulated the value
of gold, out of which our primary
money is now made, the same as sup
ply and demand regulates the value of
all property, and you only needed to
have your attention called to that.
The lesson for you to learn is that
primary money, now gold, gives to it's
representative credit money the same
purchasing power that it has itself Mr..
Horn has learned this lesson =
So all our forms of money have their
value fixed by gold, and on this Mr..
Horn and I agree, if I understand Mr.
Horn.
Mr.. Horr-That is right.
Mr.. Harvey-He says that is right.
! There was no paper money in
circulation in California between 1850
and 1875, and very little between 1873
and 1880. When visiting California as
late as 1884 I found gold and silver to
be at least two-thirds of the money in
j use It is hard for one accustomed to
paper money to understand this, unless
he has been in a country where no
paper money is used. In California
gold and silver were carried in the peo-
/ pies pockets. A $40, a SO, two SIS in
gold and So in silver was not regarded
as inconvenient and the remainder OIL
their money in gold and silver was de-
posted in banks. And yet between
these years gold and silver prices were
as high n~California as they were with
us. Paper money circulating with uS
did not take away from silver and gold
prior to 1873, or from gold since then
any of its exchangeable value, nor die
| it add any to coin prices with US as
compared with prices in California
where there was no paper money
Mexico has no paper money (see article

The quantity of gold now in the world
available for money, as we shall see
later when we reach the fifth chapter of
School is in bulk the size of cube %
feet. Now, suppose a mountain of solid
gold was suddenly discovered that was
the cube of a mile-that is, mile high,
a mile wide and a mile long-and after
this discovery you went into the market
to exchange your tobacco for money
(gold being the substance from which
money is made), you would get in ex-
change for your tobacco a much larger
quantity of money than you do now
The, say, 8 cents a pound you get for it
now represents its exchange value with
gold, and the cents pound you once
got for the same grade of tobacco
represents its exchange value with

License--What His Friends Say.
Edward Christopher has gone of
alone on his honeymoon
Edward was a special messenger at
the postoffiee but his job has been de-
clared forfeited.
Saturday afternoon Edward went up
TO Probate Judge Myatt for marriage
license. and as he was only l9 years
old Mr.. Myatt refused him the license
until he yanked out of his pocket his
fathers written consent and also con-
sent for the bride, who was only II.
He walked down 10 the postoftice, ex-
hibited his marriage license and in
vited all the boys 10 his wedding Sum
day afternoon. The whole force that
night went into their trunks, took an
inventory Of their boiled shirts and
collars and all of them fixed up their
best paraphernalia for the wedding
feast 1t is even said that Assistant
Postmaster Locke got pair Of seven
dollar patent leather shoes for the oc-
casion and Mike Cook got red neck
tie.
Sunday afternoon came and the
bride was al her home waiting for the
bridegroom TO come. Rev. Don S. Colt,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
was also there ready TO tie the knot in
his usual serious manner and to give
the young couple the proper admoni-
rions for their future life.
They waited. watched and waited,
but Edward did not show up. II was
finally learned that the bridegroom was
not coming. Earlier IN the afternoon
the boys at the postoffice learned that
Young Christopher had changed his
mind and would not be at the wedding.
They repacked their boiled shirts and
Locke put away mis- patent leather
shoes for a future and more certain
nuptial event. The wedding present
they had purchased will be sent to the
Children's home.
Quietly Christopher slipped down to
the noon train and took passage for St
Louis IT is said that his father ac-
companied him TO the train. but that is
doubted by men who know the elder
Christopher. Many of his friends were
seen last night but none Of them were
able TO explain the disappearance OF
the young man at such a time. One of
them said: ED was young and he
probably realized at the last moment {
that II would be TO his interest to
wait a few years longer before assum-
ing the responsibilities OF married life.
Men who never think seriously on the
subject before are impressed with II
when the final moment arrives: they
become sensible all at once of the re-
sponsibilities of husbands and If they
have not an exalted idea of the solem-
nifty of a marriage engagement they
back out This undoubtedly was mis-
case. but he should have gone to his
chosen bride like a man and told her
so instead Of stealing away like a
thief
1t is said that Christopher has gone
to st. Louis but his chums think he
has gone 10 his old home - Jersey

WOMAN DROWNED WHILE SWIMMING
Teacher Takes Her Too Far Out From
shore and Loses Her.

Atlantic City. ". ]. June 3.-The first
drawing accidents on the bathing
grounds for over a year occurred AT the
foot Of Illinois avenue today. Charles
r. Thompson of Cleveland. o.. and Miss
Jennie Crogie. aged q. Of Philadelphia.
were in the water. Thompson took the
young woman a dangerous distance
from the shore 10 give her swimming
lessons.
They were caught in a whirlpool
near the boat jetty, and becoming sep
arated cried for help. There were
scores OF bathers on the strand. but no
one started TO the rescue. and with a
despairing cry the girl sank, beneath
the waves while several looked on
Robert Brady, brother of the bath
house keeper, heard the woman's last
shrek and taking off his coat, dashed
into the water 10 Thompson's assis-
tance, reaching him as he was sinking
for the last time. II was a brave res
cue and Brady is the hero Of the hour.
Miss Crogie's body has not yet been
recovered.
Mrs. James Farley. relative or Miss
Crogie, lodged a complaint against
Thompson tonight charging him with
criminal neglience in having taken the
unfortunate young woman too far out
from the shore He was arrested and
at the preliminary hearing said his
real name was Crawford. ana thht ne
was not an expert swimmer. He was
held without bail 20 await the result
OF the inquest. II is asserted by VIII
nssses to the tragedy that II was the
result OF the recent build
ing OF the jetty al the point where the
drowning occurred. The presence OF
the jetty has ,caused the waves 10 wash
a deep hole In the sand at Its outer end
making a precipitous step-on OF a
great depth in comparatively shallow
water. A gentleman with two children
narrowly escaped drowning in the place
during the morning hour, their rescue
being effected only by the extraordin-
ary and timely exertions Of some bath
erS who were IN the vicinity.
