Poor Argument for Free Silver.

The free coinage agitators ask the
people to vote for the sixteen to one
scheme ON the ground that the bankers,
manufacturers and merchants are all
in favor of sound currency. "If the
banking and business interests are op-
posed to free silver" say the cheap dol
aar advocates, "the farmers and work
ers should support it. There must be
something good for the poor in this
free coinage scheme just because the
rich people do not want it," OF all un-
reasonable and demagogic pleas for so
cent dollars this is the worst. An ex-
actly similar argument would be de-
mand on the part of the millions who do
not own homes or buildings of any kind
that all houses should be burned down
because it would hurt property owners.
There is no doubt but that every man
in America who owns a building would
say, if asked, that he is opposed to hav-
ing his property destroyed. But that
would be no reason why the people who
have no homes should favor arson The
attempt to create a prejudice in favor
of debt repudiation because business
men and bankers believe in honesty
can never succeed with fair-minded,
honorable citizens. They vii. decide
the silver question ON its merits and
will not be led astray by appeals to
one class to vote for cheap and trashy
money merely because it is favored bg
another class.

AT meeting of the trustees OF the
Athens Hospital for the insane, Thurs
day, a general reduction in wages was
made while several offices were abolish
ed. The office of policeman was dis
continued while the butchers position
will be filed by the gardener along
with his other duties. The office OF
assistant physician was abolished and
the salaries of the dining room en-
ployes and others connected with the
institution were considerably reduced.
The salary of stewart clerk was reduc-
ed from $40 to $50 month. The re-
duction in wages takes place on Aug
nst 18th. No one connected with the
institution has been discharged, and
the reduction in the salaries and the
discontinuance of several offices, was
not done through incompetency on the
part of the employees, but simply as
matter of economy.-Athens Journal.
