The Dispatch takes this cue on the

price Of silver bullion in 1859 was 90 cents.
On August 18th. 1890. a few days after
the law went into effect. silver bullion
sold as high as S1.29 an ounce.
Then began the decline from month to

Durlng this time the government bought
1900 ounces OF silver. at a cost Of
9i5,..Yl'vY- gold, and the price declined
a little more than one cent per ounce nor
month average. '''
everybody knows that the sherman law
was a miserable failure. and It was de-
nounced as such by the Democratic plat
lorm OF 1892. 1t proved beyond dispute
'hat the price Of a commodity cannot he
regulated by legislation. There is no bet
Ter argument than the operation Of the
sherman law against the absurd claim
mat free coinage will double the price OF
silver bullion.

silver bullion was taken TO the mint py
private owners to DO coined into money.
During a period OF eighty years, FROM
1873 to 1873. while free coinage lasted

SOUTHERN NEW MARLBORO

The burning of Wm. B. Gibson X Sons steam saw mill, May IS. has cast a gloom of sorrow and sadness over the whole community. This was the sec- ond mill that has become 8 prey to the devouring flames. The first mill was consumed about nine years ago, and then they felt they were ruined fnan- cially, but their numerous friends en- courased, assisted and cheered them in their efforts to rebuild, and in a short time another larger and more conven- tent mill was erected and they have fairly prospered. They were just get ting into condition to make it a good paying business. They felt that they could not pay the high rates demanded
 to get the mill insured, so the whole is total loss. Unlimited sympathy is felt for them, and a strong effort will be made to help them rebuild again. The origin of the fire can never be known. l.. Hedger. the sawyer, states that he had stopped running the mill at ? o'clock, and the fire under the boilers went out soon after, and there were no indications of fire when he left for sup per, but before he had finished his meal the building was in flames. It looks like incendisry work, and yet no one supposed the Gibsons had any enemies so inplacable as that. There happened to be an unusual amount of plsued and matched and other lumber in the mill
 Several thousand feet of extra quality were waiting transportation to Winsted which they valued $500. The loss including everything is variously estI- mated from S, ,O00 to S5, 900.

The ministerial steal that has been brought to the notice of the public by Rev T. J. Lee, and the friends of Rev Parker Morgan has brought out the newspaper comments in full force. pr Lee. who is pastor of church in New ark. N. J., recently listened to a sermon delivered by Dr Morgan of New York. Dr Lee recognized the sermon as one which had been written by another prominent divine and promptly exposed the steal of Dr Morgan. Friends of Dr Morgan began looking into the record of Dr Lee, and they bring the counter charge that Dr Lee stole the majority of the valedictory that he delivered at his graduation from college. Some of the newspaper commenters are of the opin- ion that no good has been accomplished by the expose to the public. and that if the matter had been quietly settled up the Church and the world would have been better of. It strikes us, though, that if these clergymen had playfully nudged each other in the ribs and whis- pered, II am on to you" and have kept mum, it would have led to certain de- gree of misplaced confidence. Certain ly the Rev Lee and his friends have no grounds to complain of the publicity of the affair, for it is remembered that Dr oo a&arfed tha wind blowing by him. self building the bonfire.
