bow do the farmers of Ma ne like it to
nave their taxes constantly increasing
ana the value of their farms and especial

would not operate their farms, constantly
aepreclatingP This has been going on
Ior some years past. 1t is going on to-

quent contraction of the currency, and
nothing can prevent it but re-establish-
Inent OF the parity between the metals,
ana the presence Of the double standard
under bimetallism. Bangor Commercial.
Here Is good sample Of the method of
the free silver people. While this para
graph asserts good many things it gives
| not particle Of proof. In the first place
there is an assertion, or suggestion,
that taxes have been increased by
the gold standard. New if what
the free silverites say about the gold
standard is true the effect of it aught
to have been to diminish taxes The
purchasing power Of gold. say these
people, has been constantly appreoihting.
Ii SO tho number of dollars necessary for
town to appropriate to make it's roads,
support it's schools and support its poor
ought to have been diminishing, and if
| 1t has not been it is because the people
have asked for more things. Then there is
an assertion that the value of farm stock
has been decreasing because of the gold
standard. Now every body knows that the
| reason of the fall in the value Of
| horses is the decline of the demand for
| them which has hoen brought around by
the change of hundreds of street car lines
from horse power to electricity There
has been a big drop IN the price of
horses, during the past two OF three
years, which the most reckless silver man
would not think of attributing to a rise
in gold. AS for other livestock thsre is
not the slightest evidence that it's de-
probation has resulted from the gold
standard. 1t Is pure assumption.
Again there is the assertion that the only
cure for this depreciation is the bimetal-
lie standard. In the first place there. is
an entire lack of any thing like proof
that the bimetaflio standard would prove
O remedy. In she second place it is as
certain as anything can be in tbs future,
| that the free coinage of silver by the
United States alone would not give lis
q bimetallio standard but silver mono
metallic standard.

| Probably no American who has died
| within the last decade was the object Of
the admiration and affection of the
American people to the degree thar it
was bestowed upon the late James 6.
Blaine, and yet even here in the capital
city almost no one seems to have any Idea
of the resting place of his ashes, says a
| Washington correspondent in the St.
| Paul Pioneer Press The immortal gen-
ius of craftsmanship and those other quail
tiles that made him the idol of his party
| will be long cherished in the minds and
hearts Of men, bat his final resting place
is practically unknown and unhonored,
even by those who rendered him the most
enthusiastic homage during his life
time.
Over in Georgetown, which, although
tains its ancient name, there is beauti-
full Oak Hill cemetery. The name conveys
a literal idea of the place. On hillside
of sloping green. falling away to the
waters of Rock creek, and shaded by the
spreading branches of hugo old oaks, are
the tomhs of many men famous in the
history of this country. The cemetery is
the foundation OF W. W. Corcoran, who
established the Corcoran art gallery and
whose fortune was freely spent i'll prac-
tical philanthropy in Washington. Oak
Hill cemetery is controlled by corpora
tion whose rules are somewhat rigid, and
| smoking is forbidden within its boun-
darieE. 1t is kept in order by a force of
a dozen or more gardeners, who are con-
stanbly at work upon its walks, lawns
flower beds and shrubbery. AS might
| be imagined. it is u somewhat aristo-
| cratic place of final repose and wealth
ant family name are prerequisites to the
j purchase of a lot.
| 1t is said that during Mr.. Blaine's res
ideuce il Washington it WAS his frequent
habit to take stroll through beautiful
| Oak Hill and that there he could throw
off the burdens of affairs of state when
they became too oppressive. On one of
these occasions no observed large hicko-
Fry tree whose top had been snapped
1 squarely off in a storm. The trunk was
still sound, and up to the break the tree
was beautiful and symmetrical MIR.
| Blaine is said to have remarked 30 the
companion OF his walk that the tree was
a fitting emblem of his life, sturdy and
luxurious growth up to a certain point
and then square break. Later he pur-
chased the lou, which includes the tree,
and there lie WAS buried At the foot of
the grave stands the customary small mar
Bile marker with the initials 81. q. Bn
AT the head is the hickory tree, and
nothing else. And thus it happens that
| no stately monument with glowing in
| scription marks the grave Of this great
| and illustrious man. By his side ara
buried his eldest son, Walker Blaine VIII Sc
death was such tremendous blow to the
father, who in later years had come to
| lean SO heavily on his 1rstborn, ana his
daughter, Mrs. Coppinger. Their graves
are marked with inconspicuous white
| marble stones, containing nothing but
the names and appropriate dates.

BAR ADVICE.

Anent story that certain western
bank had sent, n circular to its debt
ors saying that 1t should cali in it's loans
in case the result of the election showed
that this country was bent on the free
coinageof silver the Bidddeford Times in
dulge in this: ~
We have faith that the majority of the
people of this country will stand up for
dollar that cannot be controlled, that
will not subject them to the dictation of
gold mon0polists, .but which will make it
possible to meet. their obligatns when
due oven though they are obliged to
make sacrifices at this time. The people
mean business, they are no LONGER to
continue. under the yoke of gold syndi-
Gates and bloatel capitalists, and no mat
ter how many circulars may be sent out
by bankers and life insurance institu-
tions THAT have enriched themselves at

mon HeNkM OF this country. they will
staI&{5tH What they believe it to be for
$ What this bank did. and all it
did,s ss TO notify men whose notes were
oY9a8e that. it wanted it's pay in
do kfpsaual in purchasing power to the
doAaaAft lent. From a political stand
EnointS iEfmay have been unwise to send
out'this circular, but from business
standpoint it was quite a natural thing
to do. A bank in using others peoples
money, on the promise that it will return
it when it is asked for. and is under the
strongest kind of q moral and leg II obli-
cation to fulfill it's promises not only in
the letter but in the spirit as well. Free
coinage threatened the depositors in this
bank with the confsoation of half the
money deposited, and 1t was the duty
of its officers to try and protect them
from this loss. A bank owes something
to the men who lend to 1T az well as to
the men who borrow from 1t. As bust
ness transaction the action of the bank
is not open to criticism. The only
solid objection that can be made to it, is
that under the circumstances it might
be construed as an attempt to control
mems political action, and if done for
that purpose it was improper.
But what shall we say of the advice
of this editor which is substantially to
refuse to pay debts until they can be

tors as well as debtors. Are they going
to espouse the doctrine that it is perfect

any sort of hocus pocus to scale down
his debts third or half? Farmers are
generally honest men. Are they going
to look upon the agitation for dollar of
half the purchasing power of the dollar
they borrowed. for the purpose of scaling
down debts with favor? We imaginea
not.S We imagine that. the editor who
thinks he commends himself to the farm
ing population by BADLY suggesting that
they refuse to pay their debts until
money is cheapsned so that they can
scale them down one half takes altogeth-
or too low view Of the farmers in
telligence and honesty. We say intelli-
gence for if the farmer should consult
nothing but self-interest, If he were intel

just think of a sane men getting up an
agitation for the purpose of making
his money buy less Just think of a
wage Garner going to Mr.. Bryan and
ehanklng him for his effort to make the
dollar which he earned the day before
nuy less bread and meat, and wishing
MIN God speed. The idea seems absurd,
and yet this Is what thousands of people
have bee doing this week. The new
silver dollar proposed is going to be just
IKE the existing one with which the
country is flooded, with just the same
number OF graias of silver in it. but Mr..
Bryan promises that he'll fix it so it

About all that the rush to see Bryan
means is that there are large number
of people in this country curious to see
q live Presidential candidate. If any
body imagines that it signifies that there
is to be rush to the polls In Novenl Der to
vote for him he is very much mistaken.
In 1872 when Horace Greeley toured he
country just such crowds greete d him
and appiauded his speeches. But whsr
November came the enthusiasm was all
gone, and poor Horace got hardly an
electoral vote. One OF the biggest meet
ings ever seen in New York was that at
which Gen. Butler spoke in 1884 when
he was Presidential candidate. But
when election day came he got only three
thousand votes in the whole city.
People turn out to sue Presidential can.

Kansas IN one Of the States that is
supposed to be thoroughly saturated with
the free silver heresy, yet the Republican
State convention resolved squarely
against the free coinage Of silver by the
United States alone. The truth is that
the free coinage sentiment in the west
has been exaggerated by reason of the
fact that it's advocates have done most of
this talking. When the time for voting
comes the opponents of free coinage will
II AXE themselves heard effectively, and
there will be lots of them.

may mean salvation to the farm
er in an emergency; but when
he shows readiness to cheat his creditor
he destroys his borrowing power. It
makes no differencesswhether man is a
gold monopolist or a silver monopolist,
he will not land his money unless he
feels fairly certain that he will get it
back again. A man that advises far
mer or any body else to cheat his credi-
tor whether the creditor be a banker, a
merohant or workingman is giving him
counsel that he cannot afford to take;
counsel which, IL he docs take, will
be disastrous to him in the long run. s.Hs

Is the Brave Soldier and Major Mike Ru-
dulph One and the Same?

To the Editor OF The Times:
SENT. j. ii. Spainhand's interesting
dispatch from Lenoir, y. G., published
ia Sundays Times. relative TO the son
OF Maisha Ney, recalls story 10 the
effect that the great French soldier. "the
braVest of the brave" was mono other
than Major Mike Rudulph. THE lion Of
Lees Legion" Of Revolutionary times.
Most OF Major Mikes exploits are well
known how he routed the British from
Paulus Hook now Jersey city. how
with one blow from his sabre he cut
soldier in two, at Ninety-Six. s. c., &c,
q. 1t is said Major Mike. at the close OF
The war. being unable TO live happily
with his wife Ca Savannah, Ga. LADY,,
sailed from Chesapeake Bay In a small
vessel laden with tobacco. Ostensibly
bound for the West Indies. On leaving
shore he made his men cheer for "glo-
rious revolutionary France"
army records have 1t that he was
drowned at sea. But whether he develop
cd into Marshal Ney, or not. it is GER
tain that the latter was an unknown
quantity in France, until some time after
Rudulphs disappearance from his ma
tive place-CeGil county. Nd. Rudolph
was a perfect French scholar and an en-
thusiastic grower OF tobacco Ney was
dubbed "the American tobacco grower"
by his brother officers Many years ago,
so the story runs, the French General
Dallemand was visiting this country
When at Chesapeake City. Md, he
seemed delighted 20 learn that he was in
Cecil county, since. so he averred, Mar
shall Ney had told him It was his (Ney's)
birthplace. Another strange part Of the
story is that a son Of Ney Is alleged to
have visited Savannah some years since,
for the purpose Of inqulring the where
abouts Of Major Mike Rudulph's family
the children Of the wife he deserted.
When Rev. J. a. Weston wrote his
Historic Doubts as to the Execution OF
Marshal Ney," ne was apprised of this
story. but put no confidence I'm it. It.
however could conflict but little with
his theory. that Peter Stuart Ney, the
old teacher Of Rowan county. n. O., was
Marshal Michael Ney. French army rec
ords, usually models Of scrupulously ac-
curate dotan, are at variance as To the
native place Of Ncy. If Major Raduiph
were really Marshal Ney. there Is ample
reason FOR his never having rev. ted
Maryland. since he. in a Grlnken brawl;
had killed a neighbor whose family vow
ed vengeance against Light Horse
Harry's Lion" should he ever appear
I'm those parts again. There is little
doubt that Ney and Rudulph were of
about the same age and had many char
actcristics I'm common. especially those OF
drinking TO excess, fighting and advon-
ture.
j give the main facts of the story for
what they may be worth. Some of the
readers Of The Times may care 20 in
vcstigate them, Should such be the
case. 1 would refer them 10 Johnston's
