Go to Fort Smith to Get Married

Go to Fort Smith to Get Married.
From the Little Rock Democrat
When Jasper N. Stegall, treasurer of
the Allen West Commission company
returns home next week from business
tour through Arkansas, many of his
friends will be surprised to learn that
he united pleasure with business on the
trip, and married Miss Fanny A.
Robinson, of st. Louis, at Fort Smith
Ark. November IS. says the Globe
Democrat. The wedding was quiet
affair, and took place at the home of
Mrs. Locke, cousin of the bride.
Miss Mary Robinson. sister of the
bride, and few other relatives residing
in Fort Smith attended the ceremony
The nuptial knot was tied by Rev W.
T. Allen, an Episcopal minister.
Immediate relatives of both parties
claim to have been in the secret, and
say they knew that the wedding was to
come off soon. Miss Robinson resided
with her brother at 1914 Finney avenue
until three weeks ago, when she left st.
Louis to visit her relatives at Fort
Smith. The nature of Mr.. Stegall $
business takes him very frequently into
Arkansas. The happy couple have
written to relatives that they will not
return to st. Louis until next week.
They will take up their residence at the
home of the groom, 40l9 Delma1
Boulevard. Mr.. Stegall was widoweI
with five children.

We are hearing much and shall hear
more OF the good old days" before the
silver dollar was ''demonetiZed." The
reference to decentralization has to do
with the act OF Congress In 1873. Most
OF all we are hearing and shall hear on
this subject is not true, Distinctly is It
untrue that silver dollars were In COM
mon use In this country before 1873.
They were not in use at all except as
curiosItles, 4 very limited use at best.
II silver dollars were In use, what be-
comes OF the per capita claim Of the free
coinage men-thut we need the free coin
age of silver dollars because we need
more money TO the head OF population?
From the beginning Of the government
down to 1878 but 100000 silver dollars
had been coined. In 1873 the population
was abnut 10000, 900.
This would have given n silver dollar
70 every five p+rsons-twcnty cents
apiece-.if all the silver dollars coined
from 1872 had been In circulation In 1873.
Now We have nine silver dollars for each
person In the couutry-about fnriy-nve
times as much per head as we had in
1873.
Nor. taking all the circulation, In the
good old days' OF the silver dollar. did
we have more money to the head than
we have now. We had less In coin and
paper by nearly one-halr than we have
nov. When the civil war began we had
no silver dollars In circulation. $228, O0O,-
QUO In gold coin, and S2O7. 100000 In state
bank notes. Our total circulation was
1895, 0tP, 900. or $i3 IS 10 the head. The
circulation now 10 about S23 to the head.
But 1t should be remembered that this
per capita is now relatively very much
greater than 1t vas in 1860. Tho cxpan-
sion OF our railroad and telegraph Sys-
tens has'facIl!tatcd grently exchanges

counts on his paper money became n

ncy.
Men did not trust themselves to take
u bank note until they had consulted
the Bank Note Reporter, and even then
they were not sure OF their ground. The
bank no,ca were In II state OF constant
iiuutuatIon. Money changers proiltrd
by this state OF affairs, because It was

were about as bad days from II none

No truthful picture OF the good old

anybody who favors an honest and
sound dollar. 1t may, of course, be Mt

question with anybody who believes

Suppose we were to make copper or
