PROBABLY 4 FINALITY

That this u.s. % finaity OF the case unless
other evidence is procured. Especially Is
there little likelihood of its ever going
before another jury. oWing 20 the oeath
.f ar Pollard. the husband OF the muir
.srs woman. vhO was one of the main
Illnesses for the prosecution.

The Real Currency Uontractionists.

While the silverites are bowling them.
selves hoarse over "gold standard con-
traction of the currency the people
who believe in a steadily expanding
volume of money should keep in mind
the fact that free coinage at 16 to
would be the greatest contraction meas
ure Of the age. 1t would put the coun-
try on single silver standard, would
drive gold out of use, would brighten
investors into withdrawing loans,
would make it impossible for the gov
eminent to redeem its paper obligations
in coin of any kind, would cause the
suspension of banks by creating panic
among depositors, and by establishing a
precedent for the reputation of debts
would greatly curtail the operations of
our present credit system. If currency
contraction is an evil, the people who
favor expansion should vote to sustain
the present system of gold and silver,
under which the volume of money has
increased from SIS in 1878 to $23 at
the present time.

Savings Banks Depositors, Awakei

''All the great savings bank states,
with the exception of California, voted
for the gold plank at st. Louis" says
the Boston Transcript. ''It is safe to
say that the vote for the gold plank
stood for fully en-eighths of the total
deposits, and perhaps more" These de-
posits, amounting to more than 81, 7OO,-
900, 900, are the rainy day savings, as
The Transcript says, of the "toiling
millions" about whom the silverites are
SO greatly concerned. The Transcript
adds: Reckoning their dependents,
these depositors stand for very consid-
cradle proportion of the entire popula-
ton of the United States. If free coin
age triumphs, these deposits will virtu-
ally be cut in halves.
