The Greshem law so often men
toned recently did not apply tc
legal tender money, but to "clipped
COINS" and coin that had by use
became abraded and lighter than
the legal standard by weight. The
full weight coins were picked out
by traders and dealers in the
precious metals and used in the arts,
while the light coins were continued
in circulation. The Greshem law
is at present in force by the banks
in their gold transactions. The
banks weigh all gold received and
accept only full weight coins de-
Quoting loss of weight from all
others, but pay out the light
weights freely. The Greshem law
cannot act with legal-tender paper
money. No paper currency can be
legal tender except that issued
directly by the government which
will always circulate because all
creditors are compelled to take it
in payment of debts. The gold
clause frequently written in con-
tracts isn't worth a cent, except in
case of the Sherman notes, currency
issued in payment for silver pur-
chased under the Sherman law of
1890. Greenbacks will pay any
debt that gold coin will pay and so
will silver dollars. National bank
notes will not pay any debt unless
the creditor chooses to receive them,
because they are not a legal tender.
Sherman notes are @ full legal
tender for all debts unless a clause
is written in the contract requiring
payment in gold. All other legal
tender money will pay it, however.
The Greshem law applies to light
coins only. No paper money is
money in the full sense of the word
except that issued by the govern
ment and made full legal-tender.
The greenback is full legal-tender
except for two purposes-payment
of interest on the public debt in
Guiding the debt also, and dues on
imports. There is no money in
circulation that is full legal tender
for any amount except full weight
gold coins and full weight silver
dollars.
National Bank money is the worst
money in the world except 200
millions which is divided among
$500 banks. All the balance of
their "issues' is wind or "conf-
dence" money, purely intangible
article. The election of Bryan
means a full legaltender money,
gold, silver and paper, issued by
the government un-"redeemable,"
swapable, one dollar for another,
as at present.
A full legal tender currency
issued by the government of the
United States, unredeemable in
other forms of money would soon
command a premium over gold, as
the bills of exchange of the Bank
of Venice commanded premium
of 20 per cent above gold for 400
wears.

Silver Meetings.

All the Bryan free silver meet
ings are unusually well attended
which shows the deep interest in
public affairs that is moving the
people. The meeting at Rowland
vile was far in excess of what the
most sanguine expected. The meet
ing at Conowingo on Saturday even
ing numbered about a thousand.
Professions from Hartford and on
the Cecil side formed and marched
to the meeting accompanied by
Rising Sun Band. There were a
number of ladies in attendance,
who showed the interest they take
in the silver cause by standing in
the open air listening to the
speakers for several hours.
The mass meeting at Oxford on
Saturday was immense. Not any
thing to compare with it ever was
seen in Oxford before. The meet
ing was easily three times as large
as the grand goldbug mass meeting
held at Rising Sun three weeks ago.
The professions on horseback were
tastefully uniformed composed OF
ladies and gentlemen 16 to 1 repre-
scented in allegory in various ways.
One of the wagons had 16 ladies
dressed in white and one lady at
tired in gold colored dress, The
procession was miles in length and
the crowd was so large ON the Fair
grounds that not nearly all could
get within hearing distance of the
speakers. These immense meetings
indicate the patriotic and deter
mined spirit which is stirring the
people,
Mr.. T. w. Bye of Lewisville who
has thrown his whole soul into this
movement was the chief organizer
of this splendid procession which
so beautifully typifed the cause of
free silver.

The Election Booths.

The booths or stalls where the voter
retires to fix or mark his ticket, we're last
year so dark and announcement that it was
we'll nigh impossible to see where the
marks should be made. The back of the
stall should have hole cut in it to admit
light on the ballot and there should be a
curtain to drop behind the occupant that
would conceal him from all in the room
while he is marking his ballot. If the
booths for this district are placed in the
same room they were last year we sug-
gest they be place on the opposite side
with back to the window and a hole cut
in the back of the stall to admit light on
the ballot. The person of the voter shuts
off the light when his back is to the
window.

1t is surprising to many that foot ball
players and other athletes regard sprain
or bruise of so little consequence. One
reason of this is, they know how to treat
such injuries so as to recover from them
in few days, while others would be laid
up for two or three weeks, if not longer.
Writing from Central State Normal
School, Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. w. H.
Losch, captain Of the base ball club and
gymnasium says: 81 take pleasure in stat

The Want of Opportunity Kept Him
Honest.

A white man who Mr.. VIM. III.
Stewart, of Kent county, had en-
ployed some months ago, was sent
with a wagon load of lambs to be
delivered to u dealer at Worton
station. He was given letter in
structing the stock buyer to pay
the money to him, which was done.
AS soon as the money ($39.00) was
received the fellow left his horse
standing at the station and made
for parts unknown. He was traced
as far as Betterton, where he made
some small purchases and paid a
boatman $1.00 to put him across
the river into Cecil county.

There are some persons who con-
template voting for Mckinley who
know they will be doing wrong, but
feel impelled by motives they try
to put away from their own sight
because unworthy motives. They
feel that a vote cast to aid the cause
which Mckinley is made to stand
for is not their side, that its success
means disaster to their own and
others prosperity, who are linked
to them by ties of business, neigh
borhood and social, which are
common bonds that are fraternal,
and they cannot avoid or escape
sharing in the common lot of a
darker hard times if their vote
should assist to elect Mckinley
The election of Mckinley is against
the welfare of every farmer and
mechanic who lives in the rural
districts and these people know it
We advise such persons to think,
consult their manhood and the
future interest of themselves and
neighbors. Shake off that soul
slavery of party name which is
but a tag on principles that will
blight and are now hlighting every
member of the industrial classes

themselves and vote for Bryan who
openly declares war on the trusts

money power which are devOuring

The Farmer and Silver.

President Harrison said in his message
to Congress in 1890:
"The enlargement of our currency by
the silver bill undoubtedly gave an upward
tendency to trade and had a marked
effect on prices"
Uncle Jerrv Rusk, Secretary of Agri.
culture under Harrison, said in his report
in 1890:
"The recent legislation looking to the
bimetailic standard and the consequent
enhancement of silver, has unquestionably
had much to do with the recent advance
in the price of cereals
The Bankers Magazine of last August
said:
at is admitted that if silver were rein-
stated prices of all farm products would
rise"
In the face of such witnesses what
farmer will so outlaw his own common
sense as to vote against his own interest
and the reconciliation of silver?
