WERE coxGREssMEN FOOLS?
WHAT THE FATHERS INTENDED.

There are some things about which Mr. Harvey
and myself differ and some about which we agree.
lie thinks that our forefathers established single
measure Of value and that that measure 31I
grains Of pure silver and that gold was made a
simple companion metal Of silver. and that Its value
to be all the time measured by silver dollar.
believe that those early patriots attempted to es-
tablIsh measure OF value out OF two metals, gold
and silver and that they supposed they had hit
upon ratio which would secure the use OF both
gold dollars and silver dollars side by side. We
agree that to 1874 the measure OF value in actual
use In this country was the silver dollar. ! assert
that In 1884 the ratio was changed that the gold
dollar made smaller He admits that. | insist

The Lake of Blood.

Every polar expedition and whaling
vessel which visits the Baffin bay re-
gion puts in at Yaureke Bank, so as to
allow explorers and seamen to visit the
celebrated Lake of Blood. OF it the
author of My Summer in the North"
says: ''It is lake of considerable ex-
tent, lying only few feet above the
level of the sea, and appears of a deep,
dark blood red. Careful ex-
animation proved, however, that the
water itself was as pure and clear as
possible; the red effect being due to
the fact that the bottom and sides of
the lake. as we'll as the few stones
which were scattered about in it, were
coated most perfectly with the red
snow plant In some places, where
the water had evaporated, the with
cred red plants on the soil a nd rocks
looked exactly like dried spots of
blood. boston Herald.
