presses the opinion that the approach

contemplate any scheme of remone-
tiZation at the former ratio of about
Is to l, but will try to open on anew
ratio based on 'the intrinsic value of
silver This fallacy of supposing
that the present bullion price of sill,
yer under reconciliation somehow
represents the intrinsic value of that
metal is amusing. What would be
the intrinsic value Of gold bullion
today if that metal had been demone-
ed in 1878 instead of silver as was
for a time contemplated by Germany?
"For centuries and down to the
date of the general demonstration
of silver, the two metals under free
coinage automatically maintained
their parity without a break in the
ratio of 16 to l, or within a fraction
thereof, notwithstanding the wide
occasional fluctuations in the yearly
output. Absolutely nothing has oc-
CURED to raise a doubt that under
a resumption of free coinage by the
nations that parity would be main
tanned at the old ratio. If anything
the proportion of silver in existance
today as compared with gold is less
than before 1878.
"Finally, | cannot refrain from

the suggestion that the pecuniary or
business interests of silver mine own
ers or mineworkers, or of 'the silver
states ought not be considered in
deciding this question Of the double
standard. This is a collosal imper-
Thence which ought to be stamped
on at every opportunity by every in
telligent friend of bimetallism. A
problem which vitality affects the
civilized world and reaches every
home in every land ought not to be
belittled and bedraggled by chatt-
oring about the rights and welfare
Of the owner of mines. 1t would
be equally pertinent to ask that the
entire foreign policy of the United
States for all time to come should be
framed with a view to promote the
interest of the lumber producers of
Minuesota.'

While the orange and the fig and the

fruits. are confined to certain low lati-
tudes, it is not the case with that whole

grape. From one corner of the globe
to the other the cultivation of the grape
is possible. And where it can be grown
it ought to be grown. There are many
delightful fruits, but certainly none wor-
given by God as precious gift to man,
that should be appreciated and yet not
abused. Abuse of it is neither easy nor
e&cusable. Ii is both food and drink.
There is very little soil upon which the
grape cannot be grown. Lands that have
been nearly worn out in the growing of
other crops can, in a very little while be
made to TEEN in luxuriant growth of the

This is nei exaggeration, II has been
demonstrated in every section of the
country but more especially so in the
northern sections of the country. Some
crops Justify the application OF CONNER

so far as the fruit supply of it is con-

world for a market and it does not seem

In Middle Georgia the surest fruit is
the grape, and yet there IS not one farm
home in twenty that has a vineyard

condition of affairs cannot re-

sure to have our full supply of grapes be-
