A Grucxome Mistake.

The grewsome mistake made several
days ago by a Brewerytown florist placed
a gentleman who attempted to show his
respect for a deceased employee in a
somewhat embarrassing position, says the
Philadelphia Record. The deceased young
man had been a salesman for an importer
of deutsch delicatessen, and his employer.
when informed of his death and the time
of his burial, had gone TO a florists in the
neighborhood and ordered a floral design
to be sent to the home of the deceased.
As he was about to depart the florist said
to him. How about card. Don't you
want a card to accompany the design -
Certainly answered the importer hasti-
ly drawing from his pocket a large bust
ness card bearing in bold letters his name
and business address, and among other
things the words Importer of Limburger
and Sweitzer Cheese" never dreaming
that the florist would use that self-same
card. Imagine his embarrassment on the
day of the funeral to see boldly displayed
upon his floral offering this very card.
and never before did limburger and SWEET
ger stand out before him so boldly as then.
A friend of the family, who was also
shocked at seeing this card, held a hasty
conference with the members thereof and
1t was quickly withdrawn.

similar action. a Louisville dispatch says
that the Bell county democrats adopted
resolution to the effect that "our repre-

two miles from the county seat and handy

The Two Standards.
From the valdosta CGa) Times DENY.

1t must be borne in mind that a gold
standard does not mean gold monometal-
lism, while a silver standard does mean
silver recommendation.
A gold standard means that all values
arc measured by gold. A silver standard
means that all values are measured by sill
Yer.
The advantage of the gold standard is
being the most precious and non-fiuctuat-
ing metal values are not daily upset and
an equal amount of silver can circulate
side by side at par with 1t, as a n assistant
money metal, as we have II to-day in the
United States.
The disadvantage of the silver standard
is, that values are constantly fiuctuating
and unsettled, giving spectators great adj
vantage over the poorer laboring classes:
and gold, more precious metal. cannot
and viii not be measured by il, and II dis
appears from circulation.
A gold standard OF measures will give ts
a true and genuine bimetallism-gold and
silver circulating on parity
silver standard will give us silver mon
ometallism-silver circulating alone-as in
China, Japan and Mexico. 1t drives the
more precious metal out.

A Nan Of Fiction.

The whole country IS laughing at SEN
ator Blackburn effort to reply 20 Mr.. Car
isles silver speeches. The senator dem
onstrated very clearly that ne knows 10th
ing about the silver question. or else he
adroitIy concealed his knowledge. Among
other things he said: Think Of it., my
countrymen. what was the effect pro-
duced upon you and me when that silver
metal was stricken down? One-half OF the
value OF your property in round numbers
was destroyed Nor was that all. The ar
chitects Of this great financial crime did
more. They not only destroyed one-half
the value Of your property, but they de-
stroyed absolutely one-half OF your ability
10 pay your debts and one-haIf OF your
ability to earn a livelihood for yourself
and family"
The senator referred TO the act OF 1873.
Is il not strange that nobody at that time
realized that one-half OF the value Of his
property was destroyed. or has ever real
lied il since? The act OF 1879 did not cause
a ripple of excitement. Indeed. the sill
veritcs claim that nobody knew at the
time that silver had been stricken down.
There was no silver In circulation and
had not been for a long time. 1t seems
20 US that If one-half Of the value of the
property of the country had been destroy
cd there would have been commotion
enough TO have attracted the attention Of
somebody. We are sure that If any legis-
lation at this time should destroy one
half Of the value of the property Of the
country, there would be a lively shaking
up of all property interests. The trouble
with Mr.. Blackburn is that he is not able
to separate fact from fiction, and he deals
almost wholly in fiction.

Deputy Assistant United States Treas
urer Muhlemann says the new Russian
law PERMITTING the conclusion of CONNER
cal contracts upon gold basis means that
Russia is preparing to drop silver as a
basis for her money system and adopt gold
Russia has accumulated a vast store of
gold, $500, 100000 or more besides which she
has enormous gold credits abroad, and she
is preparing to put the gold into circulation
at home. Gold does not circulate in Rus
STA among the common people at all now.
because it Is at As premium in the paper
circulating medium, and even the silver
ruble is at slight premium That is to
say, the money of Russia is divided into
three classes, paper, silver and gold, and
that the poor people are given the paper.
which is worth less than either the silver
or the gold. That is the way things work
under the silver standard.
