Measures of Values.

a dollar is not a measure Of length,
breadth, thickness Or weight, but Of
value. A measure Of length, breadth
and thickness must have standard length
in order to be a true measure. A meas
uro Of weight must have true weight,
but when it comes to considering what
shall be the requisite quality Of a meas
ure Of value the free silver people say
that value is Of TIC moment, remarks
the Mobile Register; that if it have n
certain name stamped on it and be call
ed a true measure of value it will be a
true measure of value. This is as absurd
as would be an attempt to call q yard
stick Of so inches a true measure Of
length, or q pound Of ten ounces weight
a true measure Of weight. The only true
measure of value is a measure which
contains full value. Any other sort Of q
measure which is offered as a true meas
ure is false and will be rejected by the
people. -Floridian

WHY PROSPERITY RETURNED.
ecause the Drift of Public Opinion 10

Because the Drift Of Public Opinion 10
Opposed to a Silver Be us.
Secretary Of tho Navy Hilary A. Her
bert delivered q strong sound currency
speech at Montgomery, Ala, on Oct. 4.
He said in paIt:
what our currency shall consist OF
is a question to be decided on business
principles. There is a sentimental OBJ
lection to gold INDUCED in by some
that it Is the money Of the rich-but it
does not seem to me that this should
have any weight because, in my.opinion,
the poor MAJ is entitled to as good mon
ey as tho rich. There is a sentimental
argument in favor of the silver dollar
because it i. said to have been the dol
lar of our futhers. 1t does not seem to
me that this argument should have any
weight, because it is not founded OH fact.
1.-THE fair presumption isthat neither
your father ncr mine O any other
mans father who died prior to 1878
ever handled enough American silver
dollars to keep him out Of the poor
house.
II know of no more effective way OF
crippling the south and its industries
than for n people to clamor for the
payment Of debts already contracted
and hereafter to be contracted in depre-
ciated silver dollars.
Fortunately for this country the
effects of the panic Of 1898 are rapidly
passing away. Money has begun to flow
again in it's accustomed channels. Wheat
has risen in price, cotton has risen III
price, iron has risen in price, industries
are reopcnirg everywhere, wages are in
creasins, and I'LL this comes from the
fact that the capitalists Of this country
who are shrewd, farseeing and who
watch with keen eye tho doiligs Of every
political convention have come to the
conclusion that the free silver sentiment
in the United States is not strong enough
and not powerful enough to force this
country to Il silver basis.
"Ti,ey understand that there is no
free silver sentiment i'll the east, none
in New England, none i'll New York,
none III Maryland, New Jersey, Della
ware or Pennsylvania.
"They see that Republicans and DEM
ocrats iii the state Of Ohio have pro-
nonnced against FREQ silver; that Re-
publicans and Democrats in the state Of
Kentucky h we pronounced against free
silver; that only part Of the Democrats
in the other states of the west and south
are for free silver, and they arc conf
dent, as / am, that the people Of the
United States, whatever else may hap
pen, will in 1895 pronounce for the con-
tinuance Of sound money, for tho parity
with gold Of every dollar Of silver ard

they came out. Senator Pyle was made

tRry Before they met 1t was rumored
that all but one wanted TO be speaker,
and that one did not care who got It.
This proved to be false, as William T.
Watson. the holding-over senator from
Kent county. was elected speaker on
first ballot, receiving the unanimous vote
Of the caucus.
The real fight was for the clerkship.
Eight men we're spoken Of They we're
Cochran. of New Castle; Cole, OF Kent
and Polk, Lynch, Martin, Hastings and
Hickman, Of Sussex. The last named Is
clerk Of the Orphans Court, and the idea
was for him to resign. take the clerkshlp
and allow Governor Reynolds to appoint
his successor for term of Eve years.
thereby saving to the Democrats one
county office In Sussex. To this Governor
Reynolds refused to give his approval, and
the consequences was that It fell through.
Charles A. Hastings. the defeated Demo.
cratic candidate for sheriff, was then
brought out by Senator Records and
proved winner, receiving three votes
for him sustaining from voting al
together.

There were two men nominated FOR the

Both Houses will yet have to name
their enrolling clerks. The law only
provides for one, but Its trainers did not
