The Duty of Masons to Masons
Before the Law of the Land.

The following view of the duty of
Mason rs citizen is we'll placed by
o re Of the abest Masons in America
in the person OF Frederic Speed, 33,
of Missippi, in expatiating upon the
duties of the MIson rs citizen:
"it seems strange that any Mason
should he i'll doubl as to his duty 10
wards his brother who is i'll arrest by
the civil authorities. but the fact that
each year the question recurs seems
TO show that there has been lack of
elementary instruction us to the duty
of q Mason in the lodges. Masters
should spare no pains to impress up
on the minds of initiates the great
fact that there is nothing taught OF
required in thu lodge which conflict :;
with our civil, moral or religious du-
ties, and that within this qualigca
ton there is no shortened cabletow
III Masonry. A great crime is
alleged to have been committed in
the community, and it is but natural
that those most affected should feel
outraged thereby. The courts of
the country indict aud try the &C
cused, the State emitting no effort
to prove the guilt. the accused and
his friends, rallying around him, seek
to show his innocence. AS Masous.
we take no part; as citizens we dis
charge our duty by upholding the
laws of the land Is brother &C
cnsed of crimeS The duty of Mason
begins and ends with seeing that he
has fair aud impartial trial, with
an opportunity and the means of
making his defense, and such other
assistance as he himself would have
n right if in like distress. But be.
You'd THIS no mason has right to go.
OF all the men in a community, a
Freemason is bound by the highest
considerations of duty 10 uphold the
law. The obligations he owes as a
citizen to the State aud the eommu
nifty are reinforced and emphathized
by those which he owes TO the fra.
ternity. When the courts are through
with their investigation the lodge
must take up the matter and investi
gate it as if there had never been a
court created BY it's own process
and in its own way, regardless of
public Oh private censure, giving that
weight to the evidence To which it is
fairly entitled, it dispassionately
judges of the guilt or innocence OF
its brother, as good Masons only
dare to do; 1t acts with Justice; it

Lopsi,Icd Arguments.

Silveritcs claim that single stand
ard of value is as unnatural rs IL one
legged man or n one-wingcd bird, and
that the use OF gold ard silver to meas
urc values would be consistent with
loans use of two hands, two eyes and
two ears. The attempt to rest an argu-
mcnt on such finnsy foundation is
characteristic of frec-coinage reason
ing Vet it is for whimsical notions
like this that the voters are asked to
favor revolution in the country's
financial system. There is no analogy
between the illustrations given by the
silverites and the selection of single
form of wealth by which to measure a II
other property. Nature has not made
all things in pairs, else the frce-coinage
advocates would have been supplied
with two heads, two noses, and, worst
of all, two tongues. In that case it
would have been impossible to estab-
lish parity between the volume of
circulating cheap-moncy talk and the
lung power of the average popuist.
When n farmer mows with two scythes,
chops with two axes, digs with two
spades and measures with two rules,
each of different material, size or
length, it will bc time enough to try and
use two kinds of metal having different
values as means of measuring the
value of all commodities.

In Say, 1891, the people of Vir.
ginia will be called upon to vote
on tho question as to whether the
constitution of the State shall be
changed and made into something
more prcSentable than it is at
present. There is no question as
to the fact that the present con
stitution is costing us hundreds of
THOUSANDS of dollars yearly that is
not necessary, and we all knoT, OF
ought to know, that this condition
will exist until some radical
changes are made in the constitu.
ton. There is one thing certain
the people arc not to be brighten.

convention by the cry that few
politicians started the movement

calling a constitutional convention
is not for the purpose of distran
ehising any one, but for the pur
pose OF reducing expenses, thereby
reducing taxation and providing
money for the settlement of til.
State debt. Those papers that are

THE advocate of free coinage of

four years ago he WAS in the min,
GRITTY when the Cleveland men con
trolled the Democratic State Con
ventiOn, and that instead of adop-
ting q unit rule, they very gcner-
Ously divided th drIcs atom with
the Hill men, and elected the
Senator as delegate at large when
they could just as easily have cleo.
ted q solid delegation. But then
great men are apt to forget, as
they have wcightercr matters on
their mind. Those who are advo
eating the Unit rale in tho Demo
cratic convention had better go
slow, or we may run against a
snag that may sink the glorious
old party even 10 the Democratic
State OF old Virginia.

The fARMER,s INTEREST.

How He Would BE Affected by Cheap
Dollars. : Quantities and Values.
The effect of the free coinage of silver,
which is desired by nine-tentlis OF the
people who fpyor it, would be TO SUBJ
s,itutc for tie present dollar dollar
worth half as much. 1t is alleged that
this would substantially double prices,
wheat would be worth si.4I instead of
72 cents and on this ground the cheap
Inoney scheme has n good deal of fas-
cinatioD for farmers. who have been suf-
fering seriously from the low prices ut
which they have had 10 sell their prod
ucts.
Will the farmers take the trouble to
ask themselves how they would be any
better of il they gottwicc as many dol
lars for their wheat and corn, but each
dollar was, as it is proposed to make il.
worth just half of the present dollar?
II an act of congress- made 16 quarts n
Lushel the number of bushels of wheat
III the country would be doubled, but
the quantity Of wheat would not be in
creased by single grain. nor the value
OF the wbcatin the country he Increased
by n single cent. we take it that no
farmer needs to have this explained to
him. Two bushels of 1G quarts are ex-
actly equal to one bushei of - quarts.
Nothing is gained by changing the size
OF the measure of quantity. No more
would the value be changed by chang
ing the measure of valtie.
Surprising that the silver dollar were
substituted for the gold dollarand prices
had doubled. All prices would be af-
fcctcd, NOT alone the prices of agricul-
tural products. All the money that the
iarmef receives he spends i'm one way
or another, unless be hides it away in II
stocking which he rarely does. In
every purchase he would have to spend
two dollars where he now spends one
dollar. Changing the value of the dol.
lars cannot possibly change the num-
Der of bushels of wheat that must he
paid for suit of clothes or Il moving
machine, because the same dollar meas
urcs the value of each, and il wheat
doubles in price other things double.
Taxes might not double the first year,
hut as the town and county and state
would have TO pay two prices for every
thing the tax levy would have to DO
doubled the next year.
~ cndnEc III the dollar afloct3 taxes
just as much as it-affects corn. 1t can
not double the value of one without
doubling the. burden of the other.
Debts would not be immediately
doubled, existing debts could not be
changed in amount, and as they could
be settled with dollars half as valuable
az the present ones, those that were
borrowed, the debtor would shave half
his obligation. But with reduction of
onc-half i'll the value of the dollar ini-
pending. or in process, there would be
an energy in collecting old debts and u
refusal 10 renew loans that would crush
large portion of the debtors, who, if
no change he made or threatened, will
have plenty of time to take up their OBJ
legations without sacrificing their prop
crty After tho chan~e was effected
the farmer would have, if he borrowed
to borrow twice us many dollars as now,
because each dollar would buy only half
us much.N. y. Journal of Commerce.
