Can't Stand the Test

The gold advocates say: "Donot agi.
tate the money question. twill destroy

practical confession that the gold stand
ara is q mistake, an error, and rests up
on confidence as it's main support. No
nation can maintain sound or stable
monetary system resting mainly or
largely upon confidence. Jefferson pro-
claimed the truth when he said, "Error
IS not dangerous when reason is left

The Same Old Fight.

All sorts of misrepresentation. togeth
er with the power of money and officia
patronage, are being used to place thi.
country permanently on the gold stand
ard
have lately seen an absurd statement
that if the mints here are opened to sill.
yer we will be flooded with $1,OOO..
100000 in silver from India, 1926, 000,-
600 from China, 100000, 900 from ia
pan, and from Spain, Mexico and the
straits $400, 100000.
This statement is made in the face of
the established fact that the east is the
grave Of silver, and while the demand
continues from year to year no silver
ever comes back from those countries,
England is now vainly attempting to
force the gold standard on India by the
bayonet, and the best financiers regard
the effort as desperate.
1t may as we'll be understood at once
that all this claptrap and misstatement
will not divert majority of the people
from stern and unyielding opposition to
the single gold standard. 1t is the old
flght-old as our race-between the
masses and those who attempt to use
governmental power for self aggrandize-

We Must Lead the Wav.

While l think international bimeta1-
l1sm most desirable, and while | admit
that the nonassimilation of the curren-
c1es OF commercial peoples will be- as it
is now, a serious obstacle to information
al commerce, am confident that there
IS now no other way in which it can be
accomplished but for one strong, rich
and enterprising nation like the United
States to take the initiative and reba-
bllitate silver within it's own iurisdic-
tion.
Silver was demonetized not by inter
national conference, consulting the
whole worlds advantage, but by sepa.
rate local legislation contemplating the
advantage of single nations. It must be
remonetized in the same way. We have
wasted Is years in importuning Eng
land to reconsider a policy that has in
Hlcted heavy burdens upon her own de-
pendenc1es and operated unfavorably
upon her home agriculture, manufac
lures and trade, while the rest of the
world has been sinking deeper and deep
er into gold monometallism, paralysis
OF industry and shrinkage of values, ac-
curately registered by a corresponding
depreciation of silver If now, with our
large supply Of coal, our established
manufacturing plant and the superior
skill OF our Workmen, we remonetize
silver and bid for the trade of Asia.

wish it to be understood that the

You remember that q couple Of
months ago there was q great discussion
in Chicago as to what was the unit Of
value under the original coinage act of
1892, which embodied the views of
Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson.
They made large bets on the subject,
some contending that the unit was in
silver and some i'll gold, and finally the
matter was referred at one Of the clubs
to Judge Vincent, who rendered de-
cislon which was no sooner made than
it was controverted.
"The joke is this-that the good peo-
pie of Chicago never thought of looking
at the coin itself to see whether it said
anything on the subject.
"Now, here, said the governor, tax

served specimens of our early coinage,

A Match for the Lawyer.

A dialogue about heaven took place
a few days ago between a member of
the Baltimore County bar and lady
eighty-two years old, who was under
examination in an equity case. The
lawyer, to test the lady's faith in the
hereafter, asked her if she thought we
would know each other in heaven.
She replied by asking him another
question as to where heaven was. His
reply was not satisfactory to the old
lady, and she told the lawyer that if
he wanted to question her about any
place he must locate it. Then she
added: "Of course, We will know
each other in heaven, for our bodies
will be the same there, except that We
will not have any blood in us. "
The lawyer next asked her if she
thought people would have teeth in
heaven. She said she could not an,
swer that definitely, but she thought
they would. One thing vas certain
she added: "People would have
teeth in the place allotted to the
wicked" and she could prove it by
Scripture. GLOW can you prove it Z
said the lawyer. "Why,' she re
piled, "the Scripture says the wickee
shall be turned into utter darkness

and gnashing Of teeth, and how coule

A Soldiers Lost Fingers.

OF all the wonderful war stories
that have been set ahoat since the ter
rible days of the Cos, John Sammons,
of this county, has started one Of the
most remarkable. Sammons is re-
sponsiblc man, a good farmer, who
stands high among his neighbors, and
whose reliability has never been
brought into question.
He was brave soldier Of the Con-
federate army, and was one OF those
who participated in that bloody trag-
edy on the banks Of Chicamauga Creek
on the 18th September, 1863. During
the hottest Of the engagement Sam.
mons found himself in an exposed
position, with shot and shell playing
high revel around him, and he sought
such shelter as was afforded by large
oak tree which was in direct line OF
fire. While handling his piece bull
let struck his gunstock and cut off the
two first joints Of the forefnger OF his
right hand as clean as knife would
have done it. The dismembered fin
ger dropped among the leaves, and, as
he was more particular about saving
the balance Of his body than about
rescuing as little thing as a missing
finger, he made the best of his way
out of the fight, stanching his bleed
ing hand as best he could.
The war was fought to finish and
Sammons came back home and went to
work, charging up his MANNED hand to
the losses Of the Confederacy. Some
time ago he decided to revisit the bat
tlefeld, which he had not seen in
thirty-two years, nearly, and so he
betook himself to Chickamauga and
started to stroll over the battlefield.
The tree where he stood when wound
ed occupied such conspicuous posi-
tion that he found little difficulty in
locating it, with all the scars and
knots on its rugged trunk caused by
the flying missiles Of death. Having
found the tree he put himself in the
same position in which he was stand
ing when wounded, and then it oc,
Cured to him to look for the bones OF
his missing finger. Scratching around
among the leaves, much to his aston.
ishment he found the bones where the
finger had fallen, and they correspond
exactly with the finger he had lost.
They had lain there undisturbed ever
since that dread day, and it was with
strange feeling that he took them,
and after establishing their identity
to his perfect satisfaction, wrapped
them up and took them away with him
as a strange souvenir of his war time
experiences. Mr.. Sammons has them
in his possession now and will pre-
serve them as an evidence of the fact
that he found them on the battlefield
after the lapse Of so many years.
