He cannot be accused OF being either

be driven from his present position be-
cause of the stand that he has taken on
the money question:
For these reasons the following an
SWer made by him to a question asked

him several questions. Among them
was this: :.
Would not the advantage Of free
coinage be more than negatived by the

President Andrews answered:
quite the reverse. After a possible
first shock our credit would improve
after free coinage 1t is our present
course which must speedily lower our
credit. How long could man or a firm
continue to have credit who borrowed
each year to pay large portion Of his

IN THE GAMBLING DAYS
The Homburg springs have been used
for medicinal purposes for more than
200 years, but the place did not take on
the features of a great resort until 1882.
From 1910 until 1872 Homburg was one
of the most famous places in Europe,
mainly because NJ. Blanc. the builder
up of Monte Carlo maintained a mag
nificent gambling house there. On the
last day of the year 1872 the gambling
house was closed by the government,
and the people of the city feared that
the place was ruined forever.

meeting place of all the fashionables of
Europe.
