WHAT FREE COINAGE is.

rhe Nationsl Union Bank, NO.
2S Nassau street, New York, is
sending to its correspondents as a
general answer TO many inquiries
brief statement as to the meaning
of is to /. The statement says:
Under existing law the gold
dollar is the unit of value, but the
silver dollar is equally a legal ten
der for all debts, The gold unit
contains 1922 grains of pure gold,
worth in all markets of the world
one hundred cents; worth Just the
same before made into a coin as
afterwsrd. Coinage adds nothing
to its value and gold is not favored.
The secretary of the treasury is re-
quired b. existing law ito preserve
the parity between the two metals.
10 consequence of this policy every
dollar of currency in this country
is the equivalent Of the gold dollar.
"rhe silver dollar contains 37l4
grains of pure silver-sixteen times
Exactly 1888 the amount of pure
gold in a dollar; hence by sixteen
to one IS meant that sixteen ounces
OF silver made Into or legal tender
coins shall be the lawful equivalent
of one ounce of gold, The market
price of silver is So cents an ounce
(4S0 gralns) hence the actual value
of 37l4 grains of silver in our dol
lar is So cents; In other words one
ounce of gold will buy 80 ounces Of
silver.
1.-THE demand of the Chicago
platform may be defined as the
right of any one to deposit silver
of any kind at a mint of the United
States aud have every 37l4 grains
of pure silver (now worth In its IN
coined state about So cents made
free of charge, into a coin of the
United States and stamped 'Ont
Dollar, which dollar shall be full
legal tender at its face value in thu
payment Of debts and obligations
No provision is made for MAINTAIN
iLg these dollars at par with eolc
"The immediate result of sucl
Legislation would be the destruc-
ton of the parity, the separation o
our currency between gold ant
silver, and the withdrawal of al
gold COINS from circulation and us
as money, producing an enormou
contraction of the currency"

Do you contemplate committing
 matrimony this fall? If you do you
 will need Furniture and Carpets be-
 fore you can settle down to house. keeping and we are going to suggest that it would bs very proper and 3 { very prudent thing to come to Haw- leyvill3 and look us over before you ] buy We have an immense stock to select from and our facilities for hand ling are such that we can make liV- ing commission and yet sell way b8- low city prices. We have no so called leaders in the store, Did you ever an alyze leader? It's an article of low value, sold at cost or little less, for the purpose of creating 8 false impress sion. No expensive piece of furniture is ever made use of as leader. All of our goods are marked on 8 consis- tent commission. You can pick up some of the other fellows leaders at 8 less price than we will sell, but if you want fine piece, or general assort ment of furniture, to furnish up 8 house, you will find that the sum tot al of bill selected at Hawleyville will be much less than the sum total of the same bill selected in the city. We are sending 8 great many goods to the cities of Connecticut in direct com potion with large stocks in those cit ies. This no doubt seems to you lat first thought absurd, and a stretch of the truth, that people should leave places like Hartford and New Haven and come to Hawleyville to buy but there IS 8 good and valid reason why we can make it for their inter est to do so.
 Did you ever think how much room it requires to handle large stock of Furnl ture? And did you ever think what it costs to rent and maintain that room in the city? Just consider for moment the odds in our favor, both in expense and facilities for hand ling, and you will see nothing 80 very absurd in city people coming to Flaw leyYiIle to buy furniture. In these times people are quite apt to buy where the purchasing power of dol lar is the most. It will ever be thus until we have free coinage, and silver dollars are distributed around to the masses in basket.
 We are selling pianos now, and if you are going to buy one this fall don't fail to let us know it.

 we heard the mo1t startling and mouI ful cry we ever yet have heard from human being. We were paralyzed wi fear and Florence leaned against me al cried out What is that?" l said "Husl What does he say?' "Oh, hark!'' sI said. Presently another moan. AT this we heard: "How could I do tbf deed Benjamin Northrop was my neigI bor. Never did he do me wrong, exceI to take my canoe! Oh, the agony of hl wife's face when she asked me if ha seen BeDjamin! My God Why cannot Uan govern his temper! Now will littl water clear me of this deed?" Benjami Northrop, the blacksmith, in Bradley vile, whose shop was on the road whers we now turn to Stevenson, was found il the Housatonic river day or two afte my beloved Florence pledged herself tc me by Ivy brook. The paddle was foun6 with little tuft of hair upon it, but no body volunteered to testify anything direct. Records confirm this. What was still more wonderful was that boy and girl having heard so much during the whole excitement over the death of Northrop, should keep what they heard as confession, from the man who was supposed to have killed Northrop. But Florence insisted that if We should both testify to what we overheard it would hang the man, and that perhaps after all NoTthIop was not mGrdered. We were both too happy with each other D help bring any man to the gallows. Years after it was said that the old negro who worked for Curtis so long, saw his mas. ter do the wicked deed, but he loved him 100 well to reveal anything whatever, ,and it may be, after aN, that Florence and never heard any confession.
