During the year of 1894 M. de Nor
gan, a renowned archeologist and ex-
plorer amongst the hidden treasures
OF ancient Egypt unearthed the re-
mains Of Princess Naub. Holep in the
metropolis Of Dachouf, where II had
been undisterbed for 4500 years.
Amongst the treasures, that It was the
custom of these people to bury with
the dead. was found the Jewels of the
princess. Her gold necklace containe d
an analysis ss:94 per cent Of gold and
1856 per cent OF Silver. The gold leaf
covering King HAIRS coffin contained
1878 per cent of Silver. We're these

long to the Sound money party, as
gold must have been their Standard.
they were expert mettalurgists,
working in copper and tin as well as
gold and silver and produced the finest
bronze. Psychologist may yet solve
tiiany knotty problems by bringing to
light the records & object of this high
~ civil. zed and educated people that
have lain hidden in the earth SO straDg-
ly whilst the great actors in the drama
of life and their dynast'es have pa ssed
away never to return. Verify there
is nothing new under the SUM-
Don't be beguiled into the BELIEF,
tried SO hard to be created in your
minds by The free silver men, that u
cole standard means none but gold
money and that it is the rich mans
money and silver the poor mans mon
ey. 1t is simply the measure by
which the value of all other money is
just as your half bushel is
the standard by which you measure
the value of corn, oats. potatoes etc,
all differ in price. The gold
bugs" all have silver legs, they want
every dollar Of silver possible in circu-
latior that can be kept at par just as
the National Democratic platform says
also all the paper money necessary
Tor conve nience and each and every
dollar interchangeable and equal in val
lie. This is sound money.

The Nashville American has under
its new management not only became
a sound money paper, but one OF the
best. newsiest, most logical; forceful,
plain and outspoken papers that comes
on our exchange list. Like Webster,
it's English is plain and suited to the
com prehension of the average reader,
and it's logic irresistible.

The majority does not rule in this
country. Cleveland got majority OF
the popular vote in 1888 by $4,000
vet he was not elected. Rhode Island
the smallest State in the Union has
two Senators but only two Congress
men, and an equal vote with New York
in the Senate--yet New York has 80 ia
the electoral college for President
where little Rhody has only four.

The gold standard means a good
dollar that will purchase as much as
two formerly, and at the Same time
keep all the silver possible h circdla-
ton. Under the gold stahdard now,
prosperity is coming to us by leaps.
Don't stop it by any monkey business
with the currency.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-07-05

Factories are resuming operations
every where and operating to their
fullest capacity. Wages of operatives
are being advanced. Unsettled finan-

There is no use for accrimony in the
discussion of the financial question, let
it be fairly, dispassionately Il ration

The obOve letter in every word and
line breathes the spirit of true, noble
modest manhood. Just such men would
be the salvation of this country and
should br elected to Office ''nolcns vO-
lens" When such characters eschew
political life, it is a sad comment upon
our official status In its modern form,
this noble specimen of manhood sees
turmoil and long course of things I'M
congenial to his nature and has the
wisdom to forsake it with victory with.
in his. grasp at the outset. Cardinal
Wolsey who had reached the zenith of
his political glory said:
Cromwell charge thee fling away ambition;
BY that sin fell the angels. how can man then
The image of his maker hope to win by it.
When his political fortunes had for
saken him as they do most men, he ex-
claimed in bitterness of spirit;
o Cromwell, cromwell!
Had but served my God with half the zeal
4 served my king, he would not in mine age
Have left me naked to mine enemnes."
Ex-Governor Brown of this State who
had never been defeated for any office
from constable to U. $. Senator advised
all young men to avoid politics. Possibly
Mr. Longstreet has chosen wisely. but
the commonwealth looses in such in
stances.
