had settled that secession is impracti'
cable and the amendments to the Con
stitution have adjusted all other dlf-
ferences. The Southern people have
fully accepted the results; they accept
the present and loyalty commit them
selves to the future.
Passing to the early days of seces-
sion, he predicted that the future his
torian would note with astonishment
that the Southern struggle for indie
pendence began, not with committees s
of public safety, with declarations OF
the rights of man, or enunclatlon OF
the nightly doctrine that governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, but it began with
public statutes, general elections and
constitutional conventions. Mr.. Da.
Wis himself rested, in his inaugural,
the case of the new nation at the bar
of the public opinion of the world, not
upon revolutionary but upon legal
right.
REGARDED AS AN EXPERIMENT..
He quoted the junior senator from
Massachusetts (Mr. Lodge) as saying
that when the Constitution was adopt
ed at Philadelphia, no one, neither
Washington, Hamilton, Clinton nor
Mason regarded the new system as
anything but an experiment, from
which every State had the right peace
ably to withdraw. The Southern
States only exercised righ: which
had often been threatened by New
England, and which was generally
conceded to be constitutional one.

the benefit of one and the injury of
another; and it cannot long be
made to operate in that way, for it
is not possible, by tariffs or in any
other way, permanently to main
tain low price level for half of
our industries and a high level for
the other half.
Tariffs, TO be justified, must be
made to cover our industrial sys-
tenn as whole.
Again, the question of maintain
ing the gold standard, or of keep
ing gold in this country, is not one
of revenue, If twice as much reve-
nue were collected as is now paid
into the Treasury, it would have
little or no effect on the outflow of
gold. Colds not demanded at the
Treasury for internal use, where
other currency serves every pur-
pose Just as we'll ae gold, and is
more conyenient. Gold is wanted
to pay debts abroad, where other
currency cannot beused. 1t would
therefore be the height of folly
now that S25O,00O,OOO have been
put into the Treasury to lie there
idle, to add to this idle hoard by
increased taxation.
One thing moro; 1t is not be-
cause of the existence of green
backs that gold goes out of the
country. 1t would go out just as
quickly and just as certainly if
bank notes took tho place of green
backs. Nor would it make any
difference to the business interests
of the country whether the gold
that went abroad was gathered first
in the Treasury and was then ta-
ken from there or won't directly
from the banks. The question of
the gold standard is at bottom n
question of price levels and moth
ing else; and price levels do not
depend on who issues the paper
currency, or on whether the vol
ume is made mp of bank notes orof
Treasury notes.

We notice in our various OK
changes the names of some of the
prominent Democrats of this dis
trict, for delegates to the Democratic
National Convention, at Chicago.
While there are undoubtedly many
honest Democrats, whose names
have been mentioned in this con-
nection, who could be safely trust
ed with this important position yet
we are not advised as to how they
stand on the question of free silver.
p we are however personally ac-
quainted with gentleman whom
we believe would if elected give un-
qualified satisfaction to all concern
ed, a man of unimpeachable char
acter, and one who for integrity
and general business qualifications,
stands in the front rank among the
influential men of the State. A
man who stands out squarely and
boldly for that which he believes
will be for the best interest of our
little mountain State, the free coin
age of silver at 16 to l. A man
who cannot be influenced by the
gold bugs nor swerved from the
path way of duty, and one who
will if elected, fearlessly and faith
fully carry out the instructions of
his constituents.

THE GOLD STANDARD.
Can II Be Maintained Hy borrowing
GOldl

L
Can the gold standard be main
tanned by borrowing gold9 Obvi-
ously not. Gold is not wanted for
use at home. and it is not borrow
ed for that purpose. 1t is wanted
for export; it is wanted to pay for
imports or for interest on debts
our people owe TO other countries;
for the carrying trade, &c. When
will the necessity for borrowing for
such purposes end? Manifestly
only when we pay in some other
way. The borrower does not keep
money he borrows; he put its away.
Borrowed gold never stays in the
country that borrows it, Condi-
tions that make ii Necessary to
borrow gold will send it out again
as fast as it is liberated. Gold
stays only where it goes of itself, in
the course of trade. Gold willstay
in this country only as it comes
here in the course of trade, and it
will come here in that way onthe
one condition that prices here are
enough below the price level of
other countries to make this the
best market to buy in; that is, to
invest gold in. We can get gold
and keep itin no other way.
High prices and the gold stand
ard do not go together, and they
cannot both be had at the same
time. The one condition on which
the gold standard can be maintain
ed is lo1o prices; that is, the con-
ditions under which gold will come
here of itself must first be created.
Nor can debtor nations maintain
even price level with creditor com-
tries. Prices must be lower with
us than in countries owing no out
side debts.
Besides exporting enough to
pay for all our imports, we must
pay annually, as interest and other
charges, not less than Sl00,000,-
coo. This must be paid with prod
ucts of some kind or with gold. We

A Strange Farm.

There is farm few miles from
Cleburne that has history. On
several different occasions it has
been offered for sale, offered at a
bargain which was promptly recog-
nized and n sale made. Why the
first owner wanted to get rid of the
place, the Chronicle is not author
lied to say, but it seems he woke
up one fine morning and his wife
presented him with twin babies.
He offered the farm for sale,
another man bought it and in the
course of time the landlord found
himself the father of twin babies.
He had enough and put the farm
on the market. It was promptly
purchased by most estimable gem
tlemnn. After time his wife
presented him with twin babies.
Again the farm was put on the
market. The next gentleman that
became the proprietor of the farm
no doubt thought he and his wife
would be entirely safe as their
youngest child was 12 years of age.
However, in the course of time, the
result was anothe pair of twin
babies.
The place will doubtless be put
on tho market at an early date, but
it will not be purchased by the
Chronicle. = Cleburne, (Texas.)

dust 1t is often contracted through

that people contract the disease just as
do cows from breathing the dust of
contaminated stables, and from drink
