1t is asserted that creditors
will be injured by return to BIZ
metallism because it will scale
down debts. But the creditor is
entitled only to the normal con-
ditions of things, and no man
can claim that conditions are nor
NAL which have been produced
by gold recommendation which
the country knew nothing of un-
til it was, by stealth, thrust upon
us twenty years ago.
Can gold and silver indeed be
kept together by legislative ac-
ton ? Is the double standard a
practical thing /? The double
standard is not, as some persons
seem to think, two standards.
The whole body of metallic cur
rency together measures the
value of of other kinds of prop
erty. The average fiuctuation of
the value of two things is likely
to be smaller than that of the
value of one thing. Under the
double standard a man has the
option to pay in either gold or
silver. If silver shall go up he
will pay in gold. The demand
being taken off of silver and fall
ing upon gold, silver will come
down, gold will go up and there
will be a continuous tendency
toward an equilibrium.
The best and final answer to
the assertion that the double
standard will not work is that it
has worked. 1t was in success
full operation when the demone-
tization act of 1873 was passed.
1t was introduced into our sys-
tenn by Alexander Hamilton with
the cordial approval of Thomas
Jefferson. 1t was overturned
apparently at the instigation of
our British creditors.
Which nation has the largest
stock of gold p? Is it Germany,
Great Britain or the United
States, the gold monometallic
nations? No; it is France, which
holds fast to bimetallism.
], Thus France, the country
which has the most silver, has
also the most gold. What has
been the effect upon the Ameri-
can stock of gold of repeal of the
silver purchase law, which was
said to drive out gold We
made net loss of gold in the
first nine months of 1894, after
the repeal of the law, just seven
times greater than that made in
the first nine months of 1893,
when the silver purchase law
in operation. Under a system
of bimetallism gold will flow into
the country because nobody will
care to hoard it or corner it if
there shall be silver enough to
J do all the work that gold will do.
! The question of the best and
safest means for obtaining the
!. restoration of bimetallism is one
of great difficulty. The condi-
lions are wholly new. There
are no precedents.
: This is question which you
} can help answer and I trust that
f you will be impelled to send to
this nation some message that
the great commonwealth that has
always been in the very front as
the champion of American pro-
: lection as against British free
l trade will still hold the place in
, the contest between British gold
monometallism and that bimetal-
r lism which was introduced to
? our political system by the great
men who set up the pillars of
, the great American republic.

c. H. cLHRt< on SILVER.

1895.-Charles Heber Clark this
evening began the Battle of the
Standards" from the silver
standpoint before a goodly au-
dience of Senators and Repre-
sentatives in the Senate chamb-
er. Wherever enough space
could be found extra chairs had
been placed, and a crowded hall
greeted Lieutenant Governor
Lyon, when, as the presiding
officer, he introduced the speak
er of the evening. Nearly all of
of the leading Senators were
present, while from the House
were Speaker Walton and about
half a hundred of the more
pominent members. A large
chart, with figures and quota
tons, aided the lecturer in en-
phasizing his remarks. He said
among other things:
The most startling phenomen-
on of our times is the persistent
decline of the prices of commod-
tiles. This fall has been in OPP
GRAFTON for 90 years, and it has
resulted in a shrinkage of values
and consequent determination
of wealth, which cannot be con-
templated by judicious men with
out alarm.
It is not claimed that the de-
cline has been absolutely uninter-
rupted. The usual influences
have put prices up and down,
but over and above these influ-
ences some one great influence,
operating generally and all over
the world, has compelled the
ultimate decline of values.
It is of the first Importance to
ascertain what is the cause of
this astonishing shrinkage of
values. There is out one key to
the riddle. 1t is found in the
fact that gold is constantly adj
vancing. No other completely
satisfactory explanation CT the
problem can be supplied. 1t is
common mistake that the value
of gold never changes, and be-
cause people hold fast to this
error they fail to comprehend
this question. Gold, like every
other commodity, is Influenced
by the relation of supply to de-
mand. Just now an artificially
large demand is produced by
the demonetization of silver. The
fall Of general prices began in
1873, when silver was fcrmeral-
ly deprived of the money func-
ton. Prices had been rising
through a long period prior to
1873. AS soon as silver was de-
monetized they started upon a
downward course, which they
have ever since followed. This
must necessarily have ensued
upon the rejection of silver. For
thousands of years the two met
ais have been employed togeth-
er. In 1873 one was thrown
aside and the whole stress of the
demand for metallic money had
been diminished one-half. For
bid the use of beef and mutton
will become dearer. Prohibit
wooden clothing and cotton viii
advance in price. When silver
was denied its place among
Money metals, gold began to gC
up. This is an indisputable fact
The rise of gold might have beer
foreseen and it was predicted.
, You have often heard the pres
; ent standard silver dollar allud
/ ed to as a ''50-cent dollar" and /;
lightweight dollar" You ma,
be surprised to learn that it con
} tains just the same quantity o
silver that American STANDARD
: dollar has always contained-n,
; more, no less. The gold in

in what =? That shapeless mass
of silver will Guy just as much
cotton, wool, wheat, petroleum
and other things as it ever would.
1t holds precisely the same rela-
ton to the products of human
toll as it ever held. 1t will not
buy so much of one thing-it will
not buy so much gold. Why ?
Because gold has gone up. Here
is proof of the fact that the
change has been not in silver,
but in gold. We have no 50-cent
silver dollar, but we have gold
dollar worth about S1.35. De-
monetize gold and silver viii go
up just as gold has done. The
fault lies not with the metal, but
with the acts oflegislation, which
discriminate against one metal
in favor of the other.
1t is said also that there is
overproduction of silver. The
mint report for 1893 shows that
the worlds stock of silver is but
80 odd millions larger than the
worlds stock of gold. Three
quarters of the people of the
earth use silver alone. Those
who use gold also use silver.
Thus, the demand for silver ex-
ceeds the demand for gold, and
yet the supply is little greater.
The overproduction of silver is
not a fadt but delusion.
The gold dollar thus set up as
the standard dollar is continual
ly alluded to as 'honest" money;
the implication being that the
silver dollar is dishonest money.
But is it honest money that
grows more valuable day by day?
Is it honest money that records
a debt of 10 bushels of wheat
and compels payment of 20
bushels? Is it honest money
that makes our national debt far
| larger. in terms of wheat or
cotton, than it was originally,
after more than half the debt, in
terms of dollars, has been paid ?
The only honest money is stable
money. AS Right Hon. A. j.
Balfour puts it: Money should
be a fair and permanent record
obligation over long periods OF
time" The money which does
not change in value, in its rela-
ton to the commodities, and that
alone, is honest money. Melt
down ten silver dollars, and the
raw bullion will buy as much
wheat or cotton as it ever would.
The relative values have not
changed. Is not silver indeed
really honest money ?
The claim is also made for
gold that it is the "best'' money.
Clearly, however, the best money
is that which will give the most
varied and effective service. II
would be a great loss to the
world to have gold no longer
used as money; but the world
could do without it. But finally
withdraw silver, and the com
merce of mankind would suffer
paralysis. Not only is silver the
sole money of three-fourths OF
the human race, but it is impera
lively required by the gold
standard nations for the per
Torrance of small transactions
which make all the wholesale
business and without which
wholesale trade would shrivel VI
and disappear. 1t is not true
as often asserted, that 95 pei
cent. of exchanges are made by
checks through clearing houses
In fifteen states there are NJ
clearing houses. 1t may b.
doubted if more than 10 per cen
of the American people keel
bank accounts, and of those who
do every one must draw small
money daily for his retail pur
chases.

Funeral ofM. Dumas.

PARIS, Nov. 3O.-The funeral Of
Alexandra Dumas took place here to
day, and nearly every notable person
10 Paris was in attendance. The floral
offerings were of exquisite design and
excited great admiration. The inter
mant not being a religious one, there
was very little formality either at the
house or at the cemetery. Eight mutes
shouldered the coffin, the usual pray ers
being omitted, and bore it to the hearse.
The cars bearing the wreaths preceded
the cortege to the Montmartre cemete-
ry, the family following the hearse in
coaches. TIE procession reached the
cemetery at Lilo p. m. The hearse
halted near the mausoleum of Eugene
Labiche, where the coffin was lowered
and placed without ceremony in o
dingy, temporary vault. According to
custom the mourners shook hands with
the son.in law of the deceased as the
representative of the family. The in,
habiiants of the vicinity crowded iuto
the cemetery and it was apparent from
their manner that they greatly disliked
the non-religious earth-to-earth charac-
ter of the ceremony.

Holmes Sentenced to Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. a0.-H. n.
Holmes, the convicted murderer of
Benjamin F. Pitezel, was this morning
refused new trial and sentenced to
death. When Judge Arnold, in DELHI
crate tones, sentenced Holmes to be
hanged by the neck until dead" the
alleged multi-murderer received the
sentence with apparent indifference.
Holmes was then returned to the county
prison and death watch was placed
over him. The date of execution will
be fixed By Governor Hastings. 1t is
believed that the case will be appealed
to the Supreme Court.
