The p~retence that free coinage
would put more money in circulation
is accepted by unthinking people a a
matter Of course. But free silver
would not really give us more OF the
ffty-cent dollars. Under free coinage
there would be no issue OF Govern
ment certificates based on silver, but
the n of bullion would get back
the actual silver dollars. Now it has
been clearly proved that the people
will use only a limited number of sill
yer dollars, as on account of their
weight and bulk they are very incon-
venient for business purposes. The
fact that but $50, 900, 900 of such dol
lars are now in circulation shows that
paper money is preferred, and that
the ''dollar of our daddies" is not
wanted,

Doubling the Wheat Crop.

A proposition to double the wheat
crop by measuring it in bushels" one
half of the present size would be
laughed at by every intelligent far
mer. No one would be deceived into
thinking that the quantity of wheat
grown would be any larger though it
was called twice as many bushels.
But when it comes to measuring val
ues, instead of quantities, a great
many people are victims of the curious
delusion that by adopting a standard
OF value worth only half of that now
used, this country would at once
double the value of all the products of
labor. They are entirely mistaken.
Changing the measure would not in
the slightest degree increase the real
value IN use or exchange Of the goods
measured, and the pretense OF the sill
verites that free coinage would double
the value Of all property is merely a
fraud by which they hope to fool the
people into voting for tfty-cent dol
lars,

Teachers and Free Colna-p.

Lawrenceville News: No class of
people are more deeply interested in
the currency question than those en-
gagged in teaching in h epublic schools.
Their per diem is fixed by law and will
doubtless remain where it now is in
definitely, regardless Of any change
that may be made in the currency sys-
tenn. At present they are being paid
in sound money, consisting of gold,
silver and treasury notes, each having
equal purchasing and debt-paying
qualities. The free and unlimited
coinage of silver would destroy one
half of the purchasing power of the
meagre compensation they are now
receiving.

Two Sides to the Question.
countries?

The present advocates OF free coin
age forget that at this game of paying
debts by legislation there is room in
the game for two sides. The Harrods-
burg (Ky.l Democrat offers this
warning:
"Tbree-fourths of the people who
favor free coinage without personal
investigation have a sneaking idea
that they can pay their debt easier
with a debased currency than under
the present toilsome, slow-going pro-
cess. But this is all a dream born
of the lurid Imagination of your typi-
cal free silver advocate. The credi-
tor who holds a mortgage on the
farmers land is not exactly an idiot
himself, and the moment it becomes
clear that free coinage at the 16 to l
ratio will be legalized in this country
thousands of mortgages will be fore
closed by men who propose to have
their loans paid IN good money. The
free silver dupe may argue, with tears
in his eyes, that the price of silver
will be Immediately ierked up to the
desired point in the markets of the
world as soon as our minis r opened
to the metal. But the hard-hearted
creditor doesn't belong to that class
Of r~easoners, and he will turn the
former out, bag and baggage, unless he
meets his overdue mortgage then and
there with the money in which the
creditor has confidence. Just before
the dawn of that happy silver day
when the silver lining OF the clouds
will be coined into good Government
dollars-Sheriffs will be perched
around on the worm fences in the
country waiting for mortgages to ma
ture, like blackbirds watching q corn
crop"

that all signs point to the speedy tri-
umph OF sound moneT, but still it
urges the formation o. more sound
money clubs in the South, saying
"They will spread right views and

such efforts should be made IN South
ern States. The surest way OF hasten

is to dispose of the free coinage folly"

THE HOSPITAL MYSTERY.
Towncr's Queer Disease Battles the
Doctors.


E. O. Towner, thirty-eight years old,
has been confined in h medical ward
of the City Hospital for over a month.
His case has puzzled the doctors. When
he applied for admittance he was suf-
fering with all the symptoms of mer-
curial poison, but upon being questioned,
he denied having taken anything that
would affect him in that way. He also
denied that he took morphine. His
symptoms could not be accounted for,
SO he was dubbed 1.-THE Mystery"
He had not been in the Hospital long
he partially lost control OF his hands.
Towner told Warden Osborne that he
came from Washington to Jersey City.
He left his home here twenty years ago
and had come back to see if there vas
anything left of it. He found that his
relatives had all either died or disap-
peared and was on his a back to

strange illness with which he has been
suffering. He expressed a desire to re-
turn to Washington and Is he is now

discovered an infallible method by which

illegitimacy is so prevalent in France
the announcement has created conster-

wrong and ignorance have been calling
halts on science many hundred years,
