IS GUESSING EVER NECESSARY?

There are not few men, otherwise
very good. who believe with uncle
Toby that swearing is sometimes not
only excusable but necessary, and
that while the Recording Angel cannot
officially excuse the lapse, he will drop
a. tear to blot it from the record.
Not a great while ago in the Superior
court of a certain county in North Car
DINA. a Quaker had given certain evil
dence and the lawyer whose client was
injured by the Quaker's testimony was
irving to break down the Quaker's
character in order to destroy the eff
feet of his evidence. Here were the
questions asked by the lawyer and an
swered by the Quaker:
do you belong to the church of the
Quakers ,"
YES"
Isn't mt against the laws of that
church to swear?'
Yes"
Are YOU not a very profane man?
Don't YOU swear ON all OCCASIONS
mo sir, / haven't cussed none now
for seven years, except one time last
fall on the tenth of the eleventh
month. Peter N up here at High
Point said | had put white man be-
tween two negroes to dinner MT my
threshing, and ! give him the damn
lie"
Then turning to THE jury the Quaker
said, Il said damn lie twice, gentle
men of the jury"
Turning to the Judge, with an earn
est and honest air, the old Quaker
said: Judge, it does appear like lit
tie swearing at times is absolutely ne
cessary."

limited. Silver has never yet lacked
purchasers. What has been lacking
since the abolition of the double
standard is the fixed place of ex-
change between silver and gold, which
can only be created by unlimited de-
mand for both precious metals at a
fixed ratio of values. Hence, limited
coinage or limited purchases, such as
were made in the United States from
1878 to 1894, are altogether inadequate.
They wrought harm to the bimetallist
cause, because their failure was ex-
plotted by the gold party, and because
they stimulated the silver production.
Had the United States declined every
compromise and solely aimed at inter-
national bimetallism, the silver de-
Dreciation and the scarcity of gold
would have been more severe in Eu-
rope, and a transition to bimetallism
would long ago have been found.

THE OUTLOOK FOR SILVER.

Under the above head. DIR. Ohio
Arendt, editor Deutches Wochenblatt.
member of the Prussian House OF
Deputies and of the German Silver
Commission of 1894, has written a con
tribution to the silver discussion which
is of rare interest just now, and TO the
exclusion of editorial matter we repro
duce it below.
{. thirty years war, or very nearly,
has been waged over the equal none
etary rights of silver and gold--a war
as fatal in its consequences as the re-
ligious war of the seventeenth CEN
fury. 1t was at the first monetary
conference at Paris in 1867 that the
theory of the single gold standard
won its first and decisive victory. III
to-day, after thirty years, we look
back on those discussions, we see that
all the suggestions then made in this
respect were erroneous. The first and
foremost object was to attain unity of
standard through the gold standard;
instead of this, the result has been
that the world suffers from differences
in money value as never existed be-
fore. The principle that fixed ratio
of values between the two precious
metals is possible was condemned; yet
after thirty years the British House
of Commons unanimously declares
that the government should do every
thing in its power to obtain and secure
fixed ratio between the two precious
metals. .1
If the nations could live the past
thirty years over again, with the eX-
perience gained since, there is no
doubt that the luckless experiment of
initiating the English gold standard
would not be repeated, but on the con-
trary each nation would strive to
strengthen the double standard of the
Latin Monetary Union, which secured
to the worlds commerce the stability
of the ratio of values and the most
stable value of money conceivable
amid the greatest fluctuations in the
production. 1t certainly does not
speak well for the gold standard thai
every body now regrets that the warn
ing voices of a Wolowski and Seyd
thirty years ago, were not heard
which predicted the grave economic
crisis as the consequence of the con
fusion in regard to the money stand
ard.
The whole conflict of opinions a
that time consisted in this, that in tn
opinion of one school, the Frencl
double standard maintained itself 81
long as the market price of the precl
Gus metals correspondent to it, Will
in the opinion of the other school, tn
market price OF the precious metal
corresponded to the French doubl
standard so long as that standard wa
in operation. In this case, too tn
facts have brought the proof. ]
there ever was a fact ifrefutably den
onstrated it is this, that the deprecii
ton of silver was the consequence {
