dard. 1t will be readily seen
that if free coinage would
raise the price of silver at
$1.29 an ounce that the pur-
chasing power Of the silver
dollar would be equal to that
of the gold dollar, and if
equal, and standard controls
prices, free coinage could not
possibly produce an advance
in prices. But as history
proves that our forefathers
made the coinage ratio to
correspond with the CONNER
cial ratio and still this gov
eminent was unable to
maintain both metals as the
standard, and as daily occur
rences prove that the stan
dard does not control, but is
simply a measurement OF
prices, it is very evident that
the position of the silyerites
is indeed a peculiar one, sc
much as not to stand the test
of reason, when coupled with
present and past occurren-
ces.
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1896-04-10

The monetary standard of
this country is stationary, or
nearly so, hence if the stand
ard is the sole controller of
prices, that which it measures
could not vary in price to a
greater degree than the
measurement of value. This
assertion being true, it is im=
possible for the silverites to
reconcile their theory with
actual occurrences. In 1894
cotton sold on the streets OF
Bolivar for 5 cents a pound.
In 1895, the same class of
cotton sold in Bolivar for s
cents a pound; or, in other
words, the advance of cotton
in the period of u months
was 624 per cent. a pound
and $1,000 a bale. No sill
verite with any knowledge
whatever, will state that in
the same length of time there
has been a fiuctuation of 624
per cent. in the price of gold.
The very fact that free silver
journals are advocates of a
decrease in the acreage of
cotton is evidence that such
journals do not believe that
the standard of government
alone controls prices. Fur
thermore, the free silver dem
ocrats assert that they are BIZ
metalist, and as they advocate
no change in the ratio of the
two metals, it necessarily
follows that their idea of fl
nance is that the purchasing
power of both metals can be
kept equal when coined at
the ratio of 16 to /. If that
he true there is no truth in
their statement, from their
standpoint, that free coinage
would advance prices, simply
becalse it has been practical
ly proven that bimetalism
cannot be maintained ex-
cept when the purchasing
power of the two metals are
equal. Therefore in order to
be frank, and at the same
time convince the debtor
class that they desire cheap
money by which they may
legally defraud their credi-
tors, it is necessary for the
silverites to either advocate
a reductson of the grains in
a gold dollar, or a dollar
of 412 1-2 grains, at its pres
ent bullion value, as the stan-

Tennessee must order a con-
vention to nominate a candi-
date for congress, and that
if it orders q primary, 1.-THE
people will not vote, but will
give Josiah's henchmen a dose
at the regular election they
will not enjoy" This is a
strange statement from the
Free Press, which has claim
ed all along that the whole
country is for free silver. If
your claims are based upon
fact, why do you fear Patter-
son, either in convention or
primary? If you are uneasy
now, what will you be when
your Uncle JOSIAH comes
down and begins to pour hot
shot into your shattered
ranks? The Congressional
committee, we suppose, will
do whatever is best in the
premises for the success of
democracy. Just for the
sake of argument, however,
grant that it orders a prima-
nv and that Mr.. Manson re-
ceives the nomination for
congress. What would the
Free Press have to say then -?
Would the all wise oracle of
Thomas Jefferson (?) advise
democrats to support the
nominee, or would it adj
wise democrats to administer
a dose at the regular election
the same as it prescribes for
Col. Patterson? But, we are
glad to say, that SO far as the
sound money element of de-
mocracy of Hardeman Coun-
ty is concerned, it neither
seeks or desires advice from
the Free Press, and pays no
attention to its foolish, silly
threats. The democratic
nominee for congress from
this district no matter whom
he may be, or by what method
the committee sees fit to select
him, will receive the hearty
and active support of the
sound money men in this
county.

Mrs. Mary A. Lewis died
at her residence, one mile
west OF Bolivar, Friday
morning, April 3, 1896, of
paralysis. Her remains were
buried in Union Cemetery
Saturday afternoon, Rev.
D. M. McIver, of the Pres
byterian Church, officiating.
Mrs. Lewis was born on
the End day of February,
1919, in Anderson District,
South Carolina. Her hus-
band, James Lewis, a pros
porous farmer, died in South
Carolina many years ago.
Mrs. Lewis moved to West
Tennessee in 1851 to be with
her brothers, Hugh and
William Harkins, who were
engaged in the mercantile
business at Bolivar. She was
the mother of six children,
John, Clayton, James,
Washington, Evalina and
Sam, all of whom ale now
dead.
Mrs. Lewis was reserved
in her manner. Notwith-
standing the fact that she re-
sided for forty-five years
within one mile of Bolivar,
she was never in the town
but once, and then to attend
the bedside of a dying child.
She possessed considerable
means, was liberal and made
several handsome gifts to
charitable institutions.

the strength of the sound
money element of democracy
in that county to be 697.
Two years ago, in his canvass
against Col. Young, Col.
Patterson received 667 votes
in Upton County. While it
is true that the free silver
delegates were successful Sat
urday, still the sound money
followers have the consola-
ton that they have not only
held their strength, but made
a slight gain.

THE BULLETIN has never
been imbued with the wis
dom of prophecy. 1t, there
fore, knows not what a day
may bring forth, and because
of this fact is not able to rea-
son from the known to the
unknown. If either Senator
Harris or Senator Bate are to
pass away before the guber-
material term of the next
governor of this state expires,
the BULLETIN has not been
informed in regard to the
matter; and unless the Free
Press can produce indisputa-
bic evidence that death will
remove either or both of the
senators during the next gov
ernor's term Of office, it
should make no difference
with either faction as to the
position of the next guberna-
torial candidate on national
issues. The BULLETIN frank
ly admits to the Free Press
that it does not know in
what light it is viewed by all
critics, but promises that pa
per in the event of not be-
ing patronized to such an ex-
tent as to cause it to be able
to meet its obligations, it will
take it for granted that its
services are no longer desired
and will suspend publication.

people who live in glass

A male child was born,
That child to manhood grew,
And is known as big 81" and little
"u."
For him it is not a misfit,
AS in all undertakings he made
quite a hit.
The faculty of blowing was to him
not denied,
Indeed, as blower he may be Ia
ken as a guide.
His blowing is but a natural pro-
pensity,
And in this respect he is truly an
immensity.
All tales by him told, both many
and few,
On top appears ever big "I' and
little Gu"
If blowing would money command
He would have coolies at his de-
mand.
For blowing is easy and pleas
ant too,
AS is evidenced by big 81" and lit
tie ''u."
His reputation has become SO nora
ted,
That a windmill near him was loca-
ted,
And with that mill the livery men
and crew,
Are unable to accomplish as much
as big 81" and little ''u.''
A scene of Peacockery yeu can but
behold,
When ere he begins his record to
unfold.
Ironically speaking, tits sad, yet
true,
That in this world, but few equal

Lohdon itoyai Drawing society Medal
Goes to u Giri Of 10
The award OF the bronze medal OF
the Royal Drawing Society Of London
this year is "A matter of enthusiastic
interest to young art students all over

Miss Nellie Kuck.
Since the earliest Inauguration of OF.
iering prizes for the best work among
any given artistic line artists of UNI
doubted genius from Canova and Thor
waldsen have entered into eager COM
petition for the advantages which such
badges of distinction carry In their
train; for where they do not include
years OF study under most favoring
conditions, as they so often do, they
bring to an artist instant and wide
spread recognition: and II ought to
serve as a stimulus to the youngest art
student in Philadelphia, Boston, New
York or Denver that youth Ia no bar
sinister 10 such honors. The drawing
which Obtained for Miss Kuck 30 dis
tinguished a success is entitled THE
Young st. Cecilia" a charmingly COM
posed decorative panel, chiefly inter-
esting by reason of it's original and
novel manner OF treatment. Perhaps
1t was her own sweet youth in the
blood that led her imagination away
from the additionally mature Cecilia,
and made 1t dwell rather upon the
heavenly maid when inspiration first
dawned upon her youthful conscious
ness. With a few clever, effective
strokes she has achieved the sweetly
serious face and pose Of the young
saint, the well-grouped, raptly listen
ing angels above, topped by the con-
v~entionalized figures OF music and noe
try. The whole gives evidence of fine
poetic fancy, excellent art, and is par
ticularly strong In the decorative bar-
mony of its lines. Two years ago Miss
kuck was awarded Lord Leighton's
