Sir Walter Scott wrote to his son
on the sons twenty first birthday
as follows: | cannot too much i'm
press upon your mind that labor il
the condition which God has i'm
posed upon us in every station OF
life.
There is nothing worth having
that can be had without it, from
the bread which the peasant wins
with the sweat of his brow to the
sports by which the rich must get
rid of his ennui,
AS for knowledge, it can no more
be planted in the human mind with,
out labor than a field of wheat can
be produced without the previous
use of a plow.
There is, indeed this great differ

may 50 cause it that another shall
reap what the farmer sows; but nc
man can be deprived, whether by
accident or misfortune, of the fruits
of his own studies; and the liberal

use.
Labor, therefore, my dear boy,
and improve the time, In youth our
steps are light, and our minds are
ductile, and knowledge is easily laic

summers will be useless and con
temptible, our harvests will be chat

HILL FOR FREE SILVER.
Letter That the Senator Wrote in 1898
Made PubliC---Against State
Banks

New YORK, Jan, 16,--A letter
from Senator David B. Hill of New
York will be published here tomor-
row, which will attract considerable
attention as bearing upon the cam
paign of 1896 In it he declares
that the free coinage of silver as
well as gold, "must be held out as
the goal which the country must
ultimately reach"
The letter was written nearly
two years ago, just prior to the me-
mortal extra session of 1893, 10
Clark Howell, editor Of the Atlanta
Constitution, who gives it to the
public with the consent Of Senator
Hill obtained some time ago
The letter bears date Of July l3
1893, Senator Hill begins by say
ing that in the first and only inter
view with President Cleveland he
urged the calling of the extra ses
sion of Congress in April of that
year, instead Of September, the
Presidents preference. The Seua-
tor predicted a session lasting un-
til December and some bitterness
and division in the Democratic
ranks in consequence, He favors
the unconditional repeal Of the
Shermon law, but says that a sub.
stitute for it should be provided.
Moreover, the repeal should be
made at once, and other financial
matters be considered afterwards,
81 am" he says, in favor Of
bimetallism as the issue Of the fu-
ture." He is for free coinage under
an international agreement, if pos
sibe, and if not possible, then for
Independent bimetdlIism, He says
81 do not believe in any measure
which guarantees anything less
than unrestricted coinage for gold
aud silver alike, as pledged in the
Democratic national platform, We
should continue to hold out free
coinage as the goal which the coun-
try must ultimately reach"
Senator Hill expresses himself as
not in favor of the Federal tax on
State bank issues, but fears the con.
sequence Of a repeal Of the tax, as
he "does not like such wild cat cur.
rcncy and never did"
lie says that such an experiment
will not be a success, and advises
that this issue be not mixed up
with the legal tender currency
question,

tariff reform, expresses confidence
Of the passage Of whatever bills the
Treasury Department might recon.
