THE Fort Worth Gazette is still un-
able to get through Its head that a
large part OF the value Of the silver
dollar is nat and all OF the value of the
Eoid dollar intrinsic. Hence the basis

much fiat money as can he based on
our credit which in turn is dependent
upon our power to pay goldr--San

The Express stated that silver doll
lars circulated at par because they are
rcdeemable In gold. The Gazette point

The demand for atock In the Dallas

from an association OF this character.
That gentleman was met by Gazette
reporter at the Oriental hotel last night
when tho club and proposed track were
explained.
Ii IS almost 4 settled fact that the
state meet OF Texas wheclmen Will be
held In Dallas IN July. the date Of which
has not Yet been determined upon,
but at which time the meeting VIII

at the same time maintain the desired
speed. All racers and expert riders In

on NIL runs by four men riding

track this obstacle will be overcome by
making II Is OF a milo. nine foot
