whv Silver Is Cheap.

The Boston Globe says: "The crime
Of 1879 is charged with the decline in
the price Of silver. The white metal
was 'demonetized,' and 80. they say, its
value in the market was reduced. What
are the facts? In the IS years preceding
1879 the whole world produced only
a little more than seven times as much
silver rs gold, or. say, 615,o0o,0oo ounces
of silver, to. 100000 ounces OF gold
for that entire period. In the year 1873
when the rreat silver mines Of tAe
United States were pouring out their
0rotauet. less than IS times as much sill
yer as gold was produced in the world.
But after 1878 the worlds production OF
silver Increased with great rap'dity.
For the last Is years it has been at the
rate of lust about twenty ounces OF sill
ver to one ounce of gold. The figures
for these Is years are: Silver, 1852
o0o. eco ounces; gold, 94,0oo,0 ,000 ounces. y

The Grand ARMY of Creditors.


The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing 50-cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state OF the
union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are:
All persons who work for wages, sal
ary or by the piece.
All members of building and loan
associations.
All depositors in savings, national.
state or private banks.
All holders of life, fire and accident
insurance policies.
All members of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders Of industrial insurance.
All widows, orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from investments.
All educational and charitable lnsti-
tutions dependent wholly or in part
,1non the income Of their endowments.
IN fact, the 50-cent silver dollar
would be OF advantage to few persons
in the long run save the spectators,
who would gamble on the inevitable
fluctuations in it's purchasing power
and in the price OF commodities.

NOT BlMETALLiSTS.
True Coinage 1sen Are Silver Mononsot-
aliists.

aliists.
Senator Teller calls himself o BIZ
netallist. tie defines bimeGallism as
"the equal treatment OF both gold and
silver at the mints"
Senator Teller is silver nononetal-
list, and so are all advocates of free
coinage at sixteen to one. They do not
ask equal" but unequal treatment of
gold and silver at the mints. All that
the mint does with gold is to stamp
upon it the certificate of it's value It
stamps 25 $40 grains of gold of stand
ard fineness as a dollar. The metal is
worth a dollar before it is stamped.
1t is worth dollar if melted in the
pot. It will bring a dollars worth Of
value in either shape anywhere in the
world.
What the free coinage men ask is
that the government shall stamp 412R
grains of silver Of standard fineness as
a dollar under the arbitrary and OBJ
solete ratio of sixteen to one. But this
silver is worth only SO cents. It will
sell for only 53 cents # melted. 1t will
not pass for a dollar in the markets of
the world, except to be sent back here,
where it's legal tender quality and the
policy of the government to make it
exchangeable for gold keep it current
at it's face value.
In asking this unfair and dishonest
advantage for silver Mr.. Teller there
fore demands unequal treatment for the
metals. And as free coinage of either
metal at false ratio has everywhere
and always driven the mere valuable
coin out of circulation, it would inevi-
tably precipitate this country TO sill
yer basis, making silver the only money
of redemption and silver or silver notes
the only money in use.
The free coinage men are therefore
not bi7netallists, but silver monomct-
allists. They are contractionists. They
would make money scarcer instead OF
more plentiful, poorer instead of bet
ter.

The question was raised in this Office
as to how long body would remain il

er4l information we publish the follow-
ing from copy of tire Commercial
Appeal of June /, 1898:
The remains Of I. c. Hin68an,

Of preservation. Cen Hindman died
on September 2S, 1883, aad hence his
remains have been buried nearly 25
years.
For some time the surviving n1emhers
of his family have intended to erect a
monument 10 his memory, and as tha
plans have about been perfected, they
concluded to remove the remains TO
family lotin which their mothers re-
mains are laid to rest.
Accordingly, on Monday, Mr.. Bscoe
Hindman, the eldest son, he'd toe body
reinterred. He employed the old city
undertaken, whom he had known for
years, to do it. Upon removing the
iron pla tie covering the glass OF the
glass of the casket, he was surprised
to see the body in perfect state OF
preservation. The skin was of natural
color, and the clothing Just as it was
when the body Was dressed The un-
dertaker was amazed at the appearance
of the body, aud AS Mr.. Hindman came
up to the grave called his attention to
it. He had made up his mind not to
have the iron plate removed, as he, Of
course, expected there would be moth
ing to see but ashes. When informed
of the remark able preservation and
