COVELL DISCHARGED.
The Court Says 1t Was Not Case of
EmbeZZlement,

The preliminary examination of B.
H. Covell, Jr., charged with having
embezzled hay to the value of $213 from
J. r. Catlett, was held in the Police
Court yesterday morning.
From the story told by Catlett the
prosecuting witness, the court deter
mined that a sort Of partnership existed
between the parties, and consequently
Covell could not embezzle his own prop
erty. The case, the Justice said, was
one which properly belonged in the civil
courts, and the defendant was accord
ingly discharged.

Financial Definitions.

In response to many inquiries as to
the meaning of expressions commonly
used in the discussion of issues involved
in this campaign, the Press has pre-
pared the following brief table of terms
and equivalents
Free coinage-The melting and
stamping into money, without charge
for the service of all silver bullion
brought to the mints.
Sixteen to one-The ratio sought to
be maintained by law, according
to which sixteen ounces of silver
shall equal in value one ounce Of
gold.
Commercial ratio-The ratio of actual
value, the rate at which gold and silver
can be exchanged. It is now 81 ounces
of silver to one of gold.
Sound money-A currency Of which
every dollar is exchangeable at par with
the standard dollar Of the country-in
this country a gold dollar.
The gold standard-The measures of
value adopted by the leading nations
of the world as basis for their cur.
rency-the coin (gold) in which all OBJ.
legations are finally redeemable.
A fifty.cent dollar-One which,
owing to the depreciation of silver. is
intrinsically worth only this amount,
and maintains its face val1e by reason
Of the governments pledge to keep it
at parity with gold.-New York
Press
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1896-08-06

It did not provide for continuance Of
the silver dollar as standard unit Of
account, but that such the gold dollar
should be. "In every stage Of the bill,
and every print, the dollar of 4121a
grains was prohibited, and the single
gold standard recognized, proclaimed,
and understood. 1t was not until silver
was cheaper dollar that any one de-
manded it, and then it was to take ad.
vantage Of creditor" There was no
clause cut out of the bill in conference,
IL was not mutilated bill which went
to President Grant, and there is not a
shadow of evidence that he said about it
what is reported. There was no crime
of 1873.

This IL . Choker.

The thorough and impartial inquiries
of the senate committee Of finance have
demonstrated the fact that such decline
as has taken place in the price Of com.
modities bears no relation to the decline
in the price Of silver. The fact that
from 1879 to 1877, while silver was com.
pletely demonetized as q legal tender
coin, wheat ranged from 81 to e1.80 q
bushel. and only began to tumble in
value when silver money poured out in
torrents under the law of 1878. is q
choke pear to those who argue that the
monetary use Of silver can advance the
value OF the crops. Passing by that
point. however, the question comes up,
how can the use Of gold as standard
put any strain or burden upon itp The
use of gold as the actual Medium Of ex-
change is very limited. That function
in large transactions is performed by
credit instrumentalities such as checks
and drafts, s,-Pittsburg Chronicle

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact, as
a rule, they are not. What is wanted is
something mild and sure, such as Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy. That is really pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweetened.
Then it is acknowledged everywhere to
be the most successful remedy in the
world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhea and fully nine
out of ten will recommend Chamber
lain's. In speaking of this medicine,

says:

upon the wages Of labor. Wages ad.
vanced slightly during the long:period
OF deprecated currency, but at no such
rate as to compensate for the diminished
purchasing power Of money"
The vice consul at Antofagasta fur
pished table showing wages in differ
ent occupations during 1875, 1885 and
1895. These statistics showed only q
small advance in wages during the first
period Of 10 years, when the value Of
the peso had fallen in gold from 48A
pence, English money, to 28 pence.
The decline in the gold value Of
wages, therefore, was from about 80
cents, in United States money, to 81
cents per peso, while the actual wages
in deprecated money advanced only
from $50 to 400 pesos for blacksmiths

to $50 pesos in 1885. The wages of
laborers, including servants, remained
stationary at l.50 to LIS pesos in de-
preciated currency.
The actual gold value of wages thus
fell in the case of laborers> nearly 40 per

What Is n Dollar?
An honest dollar is coin that will be
accepted for 100 cents in any part Of the
commercial world.
The gold dollar contains 23.22 grains
of pure gold Put it in the pot and
melt it into bullion and you do not de-
stroy it's value. 1t is an honest dollar.
Put the silver dollar in the pot and
melt it down and it is worth about 80
cents. It contains 37125 grains of pure
silver and passes for 100 cents.
Why does this coin, worth but So
cents, pass for one dollar?
Simply because the government un-
dertakes to float it at its face value and
relies upon .ts gold reserve to do SO.
Suppose the gold reserve to disappear.
Suppose every dollar in gold to fee the
country. Suppose the government, no
longer able to rely upon its credit, can
no longer maintain that silver dollar at
par What then?
Come, ye farmers of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland,
among whom the Inquirer circulates,
what would happen?
The silver dollar, which now passes
for one hundred cents, no longer boil
stored up by gold. would be worth exact
ly its melting pot value-its bullion
value at the market price.
With this deprecated currency in
your hands, what would happen to you
You would be ruined.
That is the long and short of this free
silver business Vote for free silver if
you will, but make all your prepara-
tions in advance for bankruptcy.

the agitators. Is it possible that you
