What Free Coinage Means.

A friend at Ozark, Mo. asks us to
explain precisely what free and un-
limited coinage of silver means. He
says there are few voters Who really
understand it..
The request is reasonable and
pertinent, for the whole subject of
coinage. though involving the rights.
the welfare, and even the liberties of
the people, is invested with complexities
which puzzle them and make it easy for
faithless legislators to deceive and
defraud them.
Such an advantage was taken in 1878,
when Congress, under the lead of few
sharpers and without knowing what it
was doing, dropped the silver dollar
| from the coinage and thereby
demonetized one of the ancient money
metals of the people.
Before the act of 1873 was passed any
citizen having silver or gold bullion
could take it to the United States mint
and have it melted and nodded and
stamped into coins-receiving in
exchange the full value of it in silver or
| gold coins or paper money as he might
choose.
This was free and unlimited coinage
free, because it was open to all who
might have gold or silver to be coined ,
unlimited, because there was no limit
on the amount that might be coined.
| The idea which had prevailed for ages
had been that country could not have
too much gold and silver money; in
fact, the more the better.
But, while the coinage of gold is still
| free and unlimited, silver dollars have
ceased to be coined, and the only
coinage of silver now carried on is the
| limited amount needed for change-half
dollars, quarters and dimes, which are
| legal tender only to the amount of s..
The free and unlimited coinage of
silver would restore to that metal the
right taken away by the act of 1878 and
would enable any citizen who might
have silver to take it to the mints and
receive the value of it in coin. 1t
would permit all the product of our
silver mines-$75, 900, 900 a year-to be
coined into dollars for service as money,
except what is required for the
industrial arts.
The object and effect of taking away
the free coinage of silver was to reduce
| the supply of metal money one half,
| limit us TO one metal, and thereby
increase It's value Dy ueCTtdsinS Iue
value of all other kinds of property and
all other products of labor.
Restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would undo this
wrong. 1t would make money-good,
sound money-cheaper and easier to
get. 1t would stimulate enterprise,
quicken industry, multiply employment
and increase the prices of all products
of labor.

Killed His Brotfer-in.Law.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, July IA
tragedy occurred today four miles east
of town. Robert Wilkes and Robert
ToAley brothers in law and neighbors,
have been for some time at enmity over
the disputed ownership of a hog
Robert Wilkes passed Toney where he
was at work in the field today Toney
hailed him and started towards him with
hoe in his hand. As soon as near
enough ne began TO strike at Wilkes
with the hoe. Wilkes was seated in his
wagon and in his efforts to avoid the
blows fell backwards to the ground.
Toney still advanced upon him, striking
with the hoe. Wilkes then drew his
revolver and shot Toney four times. He
died in less than an hour. Both men
belonged to old and good families. The
tragedy is deeply regretted and caused
intense excitement in this community.

Some Pertinent Questions Put In a
Conservative Tone.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June go
Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama,
has addressed an open letter on the
silver question to the Hon. William c..
Whitney. in response to the latter S
communication of June 21st. After
saying that Mr.. Whitney's letter is
entitled to the sincere respect which
| it receives from the whole people,
Mr.. Morgan discusses the question of
an international agreement. and says
1T seems to be very vague and
distant hope that Great Britain will
ever yield to European or American
states participation in her financial
policy by treaty agreements.
Senator Morgan assumes that no
foreign statesman can present such q
plan as our Government will ever con.
sent to adopt or can agree to under the
Constitution and makes the friendly
challenge to Mr.. Whitney to state the
plan (which you would advise
Democracy to accept as basis, at
least, for an international agreement. -
The Senator concludes as follows:
LAS you seem to agree with the
Democracy of the South and West that
silver should be fully remonetized,
respectfully submit to your candid
Judgment whether the restoration of
the rights of our people is not more
Justly to be expected from the action
and power of our own Government,
that has never failed in such an effort,
| than from Great Britain or any
combination of European powers, who
would do nothing of the kind except
upon the inducement Of some selfish
motive.

ONE thing was quite apparent in the
Republican state convention, and that
was the disposition to retire the negro
from active participation in party
affairs. One speaker even went so far
as TO refer to the gentleman whose name
he wished to mention for position on

hcan, and this expression drew forth
applause from the delegates from the
mountain counties. The poor negro
has evidently seen his best days in

that they have not been greatly behind

Methodists. And the fewest congrega-
