Chm. Executive Com. Bowie County
W. c. HARDIN,

James G. Blaine, the greatest
statesman the Republican party
ever produced. believed in free sill
yer coinage. About ten years ago
he said: 81 believe the struggle
now going on in this country and in
other countries for single gold
standard would, if successful. pro
duce widespread disaster IN and
throughout the commercial world.
The destruction of silver as money,
and establishing of gold as the sole
unit of value, must have ruinons
effect on all forms of property ex-
cept those investments which yield
a fixed return in money. Those
would be enormously enhanced in
value and would gain a dispropor-
tionate and unfair advantage over
every other species of property. II,
as the most reliable statistics affirm,
there are s7,OOO,OOO,OOO of coin or
bullion in the world, very equally di-
vided between gold and silver, it is
impossible to strike silver out of eX-
istence as money without results
that would prove distressing to
millions and utterly disastrous to
tens of thousands"

OUR TOW LINE.

We hardly ever "cast an anchor
to the windward," but what we
haul it in with the object of our
search fastened to one of its lines
We started a few days ago in search
of a drinking fountain that used to
stand at the intersection of Broad
and Elm street, and which offered
up such cool and refreshing water
to sweltering humanity, and today
we have found it. The council at
it's last meeting gave orders to have
the service resumed but changed
the place of location at our sug-
gestion to the curb instead of the
middle of the street, 1t will be To-
Gated from this on at the corner OF
Broad and Vine on the curb in front
of the Ben Williams & Seegar Par
lor Drug Store. This will be a great
thing for not only our city people
who do not care to step in store
for water, but it will be great fol
our country people, many of whom
would 90 without water before they
would ask for it. We give three
cheers and a tiger for our Board Of
Aldermen, and now ask the Texas
side to restore the drinking foun-
tain over there, the proper place
would be on the curb of State Line
and Broad where the waste water
could be run off in the sewer pipes
on State Line Avenue. Mayor Har
din is an up to date Mayor and he
has a council who listens to his re
concentrations and we are satisfied
he will do it if he only takes the
proper view of the matter,

COINS" REVELATIONS.

Mr.. W. H. Harvey has investi-
gated the subject of bimetalism
with more zeal than perhaps any
other money expert in America.
His latest articles is to the New
York journal, the same paper that
offered x-President Ben Harrison
$40, 900 to report the late st. Louis
convention and paid ingalls, a hand
some sum.
Coin used to put it, so that peo:
pie could realize the smallness of the
volume of gold money in the world,
that melted into a cube it would be
only % feet in size every way; silver
| &C feet.
And in this article, while he re-
peats the dimensions, he also shows
that for one city alone.
The notes, bonds and mortgages
papable in gold, issued by the city
of Chicago, its inhabitants, corpora
tions, including railways terminat-
ing there, in the aggregate amount
to as much as all the gold in the
world available for use as money.
