Free Coinage Of Silver Would Hiring Chaos
TO the Commercial World.
II substantial advantages We're certain
to attend tho establishment Of the silver
standard III this country, tho damage
inseparahle from making the change
would deter all prudent men from step
not unlike committing suicide as u
remedy for illness, A gradual financial
change might possibly be effected with.
ont damage, but sudden and radical
change cannot be made without enor-
nous harm, The free coinage Of silver
would Danish the gold standard almost
immediately, and the dollar would drop
in few weeks, or at the most few
months, to about one-half of its present
value So sudden change would bring
tho commercial world into state of
chaos.
Yet that very change is sought as an
unspeakable blessing by tho silver men,
to whom the commercial world is M ag-
gregate Of u multitude Of debtors and a
small number Of creditors A reduction
Of tho money unit would scale down
debts, and according to these theorists
would afford debtors happy release
and only injure small number of men,
who would remain rich after the sums
due them had hoen cut in two.
Every rejecting business man knows
what a caricature such picture is, AL.
most all business is done on n greater or
less basis Of credit. and very much of it
could not survive anything more than
momentary suspension of credit. Any
financial change, or even threat of 1t,
which would draw deposits from tho
banks would deprive them of the ability
to extend credit and would bring no
small amount of business to an absolute
stop. 1t is only 2lp years since we saw
this thing happen, But in addition to
this the certainty that the value of tho
dollar was to DO Mt once reduced one
half would dry up every stream Of credit,

Were such a change in the money unit
imminent there would be u boarding of
money in every quarter, and loans would
only be affected on suicidal terms, which
would protect the lender from loss by
the change,
Were there such advantages IN tho
silver standard as its deyotees imagine
1t is impossible for us to reach 1t with.
out causing financial panic and long
prostration Of business beyond anything
we have ever experienced, because tho
business Of the modern world cannot be
done without assuming obligations for
the future Credit is absolutely essen.

spicuous degree Of stendiness in tho
monetary unit, tho common denomi-
nator of values, the measure Of deferred
payments. Changes in prices can be es-
timated, though even these are some
times disastrous. A change IN the value
Of money from decade to decade, or even
from year to year, within narrow limits
can be provided against, but change
Of one. half or even one.fourth IN tho
value Of money within few months,
or perhaps few weeks, is moro than
business can adapt itself to. II means

OBITUARY.

On ihc afternoon ofJuly u, 1895. afser
brief illness, the spirit Of our dear frient
Mrs. Il. L. Root suddenly took its ligh,
from, its earthly tenement to be clad
heDceforth IN the spiritual garments of iEs
mortality. Hers was long aud useful
life. having passed the period OF mans
allotted span on eartn.
She was born January 10th, 1910. ia
Georgetown. Va, Georgia, Mississippi aud
Louisiana all having afterwards become her
home by adoption.
How repiete with variety was her life OF
seyenty-fye years In youth she beheld
our free and victorious nation in all its
vIgor aud pristine loveIiness. SO soon alas /
TO lie enveloped IN dark clouds Of war. aud
its beautiful hills and wales converted INFO
q battle ground wherein was enacted The
most terrible tragedy OF the nineteenth
century-tile American civil war-foliowed
by the bitter luminosity of the erstwhiie
contendiug parties, and finally to be
crowned with peace aud brotherly love-.
Mrs. Root survived her husband by forty.
years and of twelve. children, only two, u
son and daughter. remain to mourn her
loss. Mrs. z. Goldenburg Of our town and
Mr. j. l.. Root OF Montana. with whom she
bad until the past year alternately made
her home. THE removal of her son to far
distant home and her necessary separation
from the family, WAS u sad event IN her
life. rs her feeble health prevented her
frJm taking SO long journey.
Hers was quiet and lIome-ioving spirit.
and while her heart and hand were ever
ready for deeds of kindness and charity to
others, yet on her children and grand
children she iavisbed wealth of Affection,
which was returned with that intensity
that is seldom found in The children Of such
devoted mothers.
The refined sen,Imeutaiiiy Of her nature.
SO rare IN this unitarian age, Was exhibited
IN the little tokens of remembrance she SO
sacredly treasured--a tiny east on shoe
trinkets won by friends of by-gone years. |
knot OF ribbon. or a faded flower. were
more priceless than jewels to her.
She was a consistent commandment OF the |
Episcopal Church from early years. and it
was with deepest regret that she was de-
barred by i'll health the pleasures and con-
solutions Of the house of God.
For many years she had been great |
sufferer. and at times Der agony was so in
tense that she prayed God to take her to
Himself and give her rest.
We deeply sympathise with the bereayed |
ones in their great affection, aud yet we
feel that He. who cannot err, knows |
best; that She will never suffer more, but
Is only gone before to welcome them to that |
blessed abode of the redeemed children OF
God. where there is no more sorrow, but |
lie of eternal happiness.
A FRIEND.
