A DELAWARE. law
Which May Invalidate tho Election Of
the Governor.

Which May Invali6ate tho Election OF
the Governor.
DOVER, Del,, Nov a5.--A question was
raised here yesterday by counsel for the
Democrats In the mandamus proceedings
to compel the Kent county Canvassing
board to reconvene and count the vote on
tho recent election, upon which may do
pend not only tho titles of those at present
holding Office, but also the legality Of any
act Of any official Of the state outside of
the city of Wilmington elected since 1891,
1t has boen discovered that when the law
of 1888 was repealed, which law provided
for what were known in Delaware as
little" or October elections, provision
was made for the election Of assessors for
each hundred, but not for tho election Of
inspectors, although the ballot law under
which the elections are now conducted
specifically states what the duties Of the
inspectors shall be-

after 1t had been decidod by the court that

UNDER THE SHADOW.

The blight to business q. il Trade Caused
by the Single 900 sudArt
The reports of the commercial
agencies do not show a very healthy
condition of affairs in the United
States under the single gold standard.
They show, indeed, that all lines of
business are suffering from the con-
stantly increasing value of money, or,
what is the same thing, the constant
decline in prices.
We are under the shadow of the sim
gle gold standard, and neither busi-
ness and trade nor the industrial con-
dltlons can grow any brighter or bet
ter so long as the contraction of the
currency is going on-so long as the
single gold standard continues to
measure the products of labor. There
can be no substantial Improvement in
any line SO long as prices continue to
fall-and this fall must continue until
prices reach the low European level If
we are to link our monetary system
with the system prevailing in the
Shylock-ridden countries Of the world
Consequently our business men and
mercantile community generally must
not be surprised to find the reports Of
the commercial agencies growing
gloomier and gloomier week bv week.

the single gold standard neithrr ma-

There is no help for it, and no s.;f..

JEFFERSON AND HAalLTom.

Their Views on What shori3 Cuus,1s.,,s

A paper was recently read tct.,r, %
literary society at Peoria, ll'., 'y &
Mr.. J. s, Burton, upon the lifa oj trf.

ing points on question of vital .us Sc.

Secretaries jefferson and Huuij

arranged the ratio of silver and rat.
Prior to the adoption of the c0ustis..-
ton the Spanish milled or pillar doll :r
was in general use. Some of thes.
were weighed and they were found TO
contain 371A grains of pure silver; and
so the American dollar was made TO
contain corresponding weight of sill
yer. By act of congress of April 2,
1892, the silver dollar containing 37l =
grains of pure silver and 43A grains of
copper was made the standard or unit
of value, and piece of standard gold
containing 27 grains was made the
value of dollar; and as the piece of
| gold was one-ffteenth the weight of the
silver in the dollar, the ratio of fifteen
to one was thus established, and the
constructive genius of Jefferson was
recognized and approved by Alexander
Hamilton and the federalist party, OF
which he was the head. In support OF
Jefferson's plan, the confidential aid,
friend and adviser of our first presi
dent, Secretary Hamilton, in a com
muuication to congress on January 2s
1892, said:
"'Upon the whole it seems to me
most advisable not to attach the unit
exclusively to either of the metals, be
cause this cannot be done without de
stroying the office and character of one
of them as money and reducing it K
mere merchandise. To annul eithel
of the metals as money is to abridg,
the quantity of the circulating medi
ums, and is liable to all the objection
which arise from the comparison o
benefits of full, with the evils of
scanty, circulation

pie with bimetallic currency, and b,
