Token Money.

Every silver dollar and every paper dollar bearing the stamp of the United States is now practically as good as gold for commercial uses because it has be- hind it the promise of this government to redeem it in gold. The silver and the paper are 'token money" tokens of the standard gold in the treasury vaults with which the government stands pledged to redeem them. But, to be able to do this the government must control the amount of silver afoat. Flood the country with unlimited coin- age of silver at twice it's bullion value, with no gold redemption back of it. and the dollar will be worth no more than the metal it contains will bring in the worlds markets If man Can pay but fifty cents on a dollar are people going to take his checks for full value? Not much.
 Gold is the standard in all the great and prosperous countries of Europe, the countries with whom are our largest commercial relations; and to say that we can maintain a bimetallic standard in defiance of international relations, maintaining also our present industrial prosperity, is the boldest and most reck- less "iingoism yet shouted.-New Hartford Tribune.

SHEFFIELD TOPICS

The recent tragedy of the young negro. Darling. is causing great deal of comment in our village, and the bet ter people are asking the question, "Am 1 my brothers keeper?" While we boast of our beautiful village with its lovely elms and the we'll kept sidewalks, do we for one moment think that on those walks there treads O forlorn and ignorant class of negroes who are being neglected and slighted by the christian people of our village? Ten years ago through the untiring efforts of Miss Georgia Andrus chapel was built in New Guinea and services and Sunday school were held regularly, but after Miss Andrus left town the interest for them has ceased, and New Guinea has been left to its own destruction. Can it be wondered at when we hear of snch & brutal outrage as occurred here last week. Are not the gifted and intelli- gent people here responsible in a meas ure for such crimes2 Do we heed the commandment, "Let your light so shine among men that they seeing your good works may glorify our Father which is in heaven?" One great cause of the hopeless condition of the colored people here is the accursed drink traffic on all sides of them. Cider on the north, cider on the south, cider on the east, and whiskey in the center of our beautiful village. With all of these combined forces it gives work to our sheriffs and police, furnishes business for the court in Harrington, and fills our county jail with criminals.
 A correspondent to the Berkshire Courier stated last March that Sheffield ought to have license, that the people ought to buy a license and give 1t to some respectable" person to deal out the liquors to the proper parties. That license would keep the money in town and would draw trade etc. Our town voted license and 1t was granted by our selectmen. Now have our merchants sold any more goods? Have the times been any better than last year when we had no license? I answer. Nol but we are now reaping the so called benefits
 "If ye SOW to the wind will ye not reap the whlrlwind?"
 Poor New Guinea, lost in the hopes of ever being brought out of it's deprav. ed conditions, while the cultured and good people standing by exclaim as did a father, Lord bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more." OBSERVER.
