To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal
In Saturdays Journal, referring to the
subject of ..Sequestration of Gold,' by gov
eminent, banks and individuals, you say
"No doubt the practice does prevail In all
countries, and 1t might be interesting to IN
ouire why governments, banks and individ-
nails always sequester gold instead or Sill
YER" This question can be answered IN
various ways. If l were hoarding or Sc
clustering either of the named metals, IL
would not take me long to decide which 10
choose. Suppose, Mr.. Editor. that you put
away one hundred silver dollars, and 800
in five twenty-dollar god pieces. Now.
suppose again that your silver and my gold
should fall into the hands of some mis-
chieyous or malicious fellow, who. in order
to have little fun or secure little re-
venge. would melt your silver and my gold
each representing in value the sum OF WY
lawful money, into separate Jumps or metal.
the one silver and the other gold, and IN
this form return to YOU the lump OF SILVER
and to me the lump OF gold: NOW, suppose
and gold for saie-how much In lawful
money will you get for your silver and now
much will 1 get for my gold? l can take
nv lump of gold into nearly every country
in the world and get for IL about SO. can
not only get that much for It to-day. but
every day of the y Mny World over
and will always bring the highest measure
of value. Hence, my hve twenty-doilar gold
pieces. worth by law 500, after being melt
ed will bring me about $50. This Is the rea-
son why should choose gold for sequestra-
ton Now, how about your lump OF silver.
which before melting represented In lawful
money the same amount as my gold? VIII
YOU get SOS? No. You may get $50 to-day,
Sc next month, and another sum some 9TH
or months The truth is, silver bullion Is
So fiuctuating in the markets that you can
count its value for one day only. because
the next day it's value may go up or go
down. Not so with gold. venture the as
sertion that when IT comes to the sequestra-
ton of gold or silver there Is not silverite
in America, no matter how crazy he may
be, who would not have sufficient sanity to
choose gold every time Why? Because he
knows that the mere stamping coin lone
dollar does not make that coin worth one
hundred cents on the dollar unless the
metal contained In that coin has the in
trinsc value of one hundred cents, by the
highest measure of money value. which IS
gold the world over. The free coinage OF
silver means fiat money, the same as paper
money, except that the silver dollar has
more intrinsic value in IL than the paper
dollar. The principle is the same. Such Sig
nifieant facts. IL seems. should be sufficient
evidence to the average mind that as long
as there exists such great difference OF
bullion value getween gold and silver, the
impossihiIity OF maintaining parity between
gold and silver will be apparent

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Dull Day I'm Trade Circles, with No
Important Changes.

As usual on the last day of the month
trade was dull yesterday in most depart
ments. TIE month has exceeded the ex-
peetations OF those wholesale men and
commission men who are not castle-in-the-
air builders. In most lines it will consider
ably exceed that. of last year Through
the month steady prices ruled in most
lines Some advances were made in dry
goods and In drugs. At no time in the
history of Meridian street have staple gro
ceries been as steady and firm. The leath-
er market was active and prices firm Pro-
Eisioas moved well for July, and prices
varied but little between the first and the
last day OF the month Wool and hide
markets market are both IN stronger position than
thirty days ago. Poultry, eggs and but
ter markets huctuated but little; receipts
were not large. nor was the demand more
than ordinarily active. On Commission row
IL was good month. Never have commits
sion men done as much in midsummer as
in last month. Everything was In their
favor. The cities and towns of the State
fruits and vegetables. and this market was
kept unusually well supplied. Taken as a
whole IL was a good business month all
round for midsummer season.
The local grain market was fairly active,
but during the month had it's ups and
downs. One of the drawbacks was light
receipts. All cereals have been in good re-
quest. Track bids yesterday ruled as fol-
lows. which corn and oats vary but lit

One Flag and One Language.
North American

When the law DEGREES one flag IL should
also decree one common language, and af-
ford all corners the means of acquiring
that language. There is no objection to
the possession of more than one or even
a dozen languages. But all should learn
to speak English, old and young. and the
children of adopted citizens should be sent
to English schools. With the American
flag flying over our schoolhouses. the chill
dren will soon enough learn what IL means
and IL will be sufficient for them, and
they are TO be Americans. What our
adopted citizens have In good part TO learn
is that this Is a nation and has but one
rule for it's citizens They must be Amer
their native countries as precious recollec-
tons. but always as citizens Of the United
States.

SENSIBLE SOCIAL REFORM.


A s. asible social reform has
been lueugurated in St. Louis
which 1t would do we'll for other
cities TO adopt. The reform is
nothing less than a change in the
hour for the commencement OF
social functions. Mrs. Morrison,
a very prominent society leader
IN St. Louis, claims that the deca.
dence OF society is largely due
to the fact tnat big affairs begin
too late at night and are CARRIED
on too late in the morning.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
IN commenting on the reform,
says;
There is not in St. Louis, as
IN New York. Boston and Phila-
delphia, d leisure class among
men. whose ample incomes allow
them to choose The butterfly life
OF social pleasure without the
distraction Of buSienesS cares.
The local beaux r accustomed to
be at work at 9 in the morning.
This is as commendable as
their determination not to let so.
clal pleasures interfe re with
their business affai1s. Mrs.
Morrison realised the situation
and thinks that a compromise on
the part of society is the sClu-
ton of the problem. She argues
that the ladies have nothing to
do all day but get themselves in
readiness. II they can be at the
theatre by 8 o'clock there is
nothing to prevent them from
reaching a ballroom at the same
time. Mrs. Morrison argues that
If a ball begins at s o'clock aud
ends at midnighJ the men folks
can get home in time 10 put in
their customary seven hours
sleep. Mrs. Morrison has set
out to inaugurate a reform. She
is serious about it, and to those
who have discussed the matter
with her. she said that anyone
who came after $50 o'clock will
not be welcome, and that the
orchestra has positive instruc-.
tions to play Home, Sweet
Home at midnight.
The movement is not only SEN
sible but practical in it's benefits.
1t can hardly be denied that the
keeping Of unseemly hours in
terferes very often with the bus>
mess Of young men, while the
effect of it upon the fair females
shown by the gradual fading
Of the roses from their cheeks.

Mr. and Mrs n J Smith.
Mr. W Fl Edgerton, the Junior

Mr. John lPridgen, a travelling

that a darkey had gotten off the
train at this place with a valise.
Mr.. Pridgen came back here
