silver, and the only way to secure
free coinage is by independent ac-

The Mckinley tariff went into
effect October 6, 1890 During its
four years existence the balance Of
trade in our favor was 1922, ,222, SAT.
The Wilson, or, more properly
speaking the Senate tariff went into
effect August %, 1894. During the
two years of its operation the bal
ance Of trade in our favor has been
$552,714,150. There we're more
strikes and lock-outs under the Nc
Kinley tariff than have ever occur
ed during the same length of time
in the history Of this country. The
record shows this. The wages paid
in 1893 were $685., ,404less than we're
paid in 1892, and the wages paid in
1894 were 81, 500, ,410 less than we're
paid in 1898 thetotal loss Of wages
during the two years when the Nc
Kinley law was in fullest operation
amounting to $2,390,814. These
are suggestive figures which voters
who fancy that a high tariff helps
the laboring man would do we'll to
bear in mind.

IT has been demonstrated beyond
question that the gold syndicates
absolutely control the gold supply.
Their desire to control it is the
moving cause of their bitter, des-
perate fight against equal coinage.
They have demonstrated that it was
in their power to prevent the bond
issue Of the past two years, just as
they are preventing bond issues
now. There will be no bond issue
during the present campaign. The
gold syndicates which control this
matter will not force a bond issue
before the November election. They
will not dare to doso. They could
have prevented previous issues as
they are preventing a present issue.
They have the Government at their
mercy. Tt is in their power. When
they demand an issue Of bonds the
bonds are issued. 1t does not suit
their purpose to order a bond issue
while the campaign is on. Mr.
Cleveland once declared in sub
stance that "the money power had
this government by the leg" 1t is
not going to let loose until it is
forced to do so.

MRs. w. n. MoDANIEL DEAp.

The remains of Mrs. Mcdaniel,
wife of Mr.. w. N. Mcdaniel, of
Fulton, KY, were brought to this
place last Friday evening. The de-
ceased had committed suicide that
morning by hanging herself, the
sad news of which was received by
relatives here short time after.
We learn she was not we'll Thurs
day night, but arose Friday morn
ing and prepared breakfast as US
ual, and the family was not prepar-
ed for the shock they received on
returning home at noon and find
ing her body suspended in an out
house and cold in death. Mrs Nc
Daniel, who was we'll known to the
people of Camden, having grown
to beautiful womanhood near here,
was a daughter of Mrs. Lolita Pc
nick, whom it will be remembered
took her own life in the same man
ner a few years ago. She was the
granddaughter Of Hubbard john
son, deceased, and a niece of Mrs.
J. w. Russell and David johnson,
of this county. The funeral took
place from the residence Of Mr.. A.
G. Mcdaniel Saturday. The bur-
ial services were conducted by Rev.
A. G. McRae, and her remains were
laid to rest at Camden Cemetery.

THE PROPOSED SOLDIERS MONU.
NEWT

The movement on foot among the
women Of St Paul to raise money for
the purpose OF building a soldiers mon
ument is one which cannot be too
warmly commended. The ladies of the
association formed for this purpose
from the G. A. r. encampment COM
mittee have been engaged in concerted
action throughout the summer; they
have trained themselves to work to-
gether tremendously and enthusiastic
calfy; they have acquired esprit du
corps, and they are at present a dis
ciplined organization with the prestige
of most successful work accomplished.
If they undertake the task Of procuring
soldiers monument, there is no
doubt that more suitable memorial
will be secured to the city more speed
lily than is possible in any other way.
On aesthetic grounds especially it Is
highly desirable that this matter should
be in the ladies' hands. Where money
is voted for such monuments by city or
state, there is, unfortunately, too often
Of beauty and comeliness are lost sight
Of completely in somebody's desire to
have the design Of somebody else ac-
cepted. There are altogether too many
soldiers monuments in these United
States which honor the memory of the
martyred dead only in their untitled
intention, being actually pathetic me-
MORALS to the greed or the incompe-
tence Of those who raised them.
st. Paul is too beautiful a city to be
defaced with the Iamentable, if well-in-
tentiened sculptural mistakes miscalled
monuments in some towns, and if the
ladies raise the money and select the
design for the memorial, keeping the
matter in their own hands, The result
will doubtless be something fitting and
beautiful, an honor alike to those who
build it and those for whom it is built.

DT MATRIER AND MORRIS

In the week that has Just ended the
real world-that is to say. the world Of
the mind and spirit-has suffered heavy
loss, for two men have died in London
who were among the most liberal citi-
ZenS of that world 1t cannot be said
that either died untimely. for both Will
liam Morris and George Du Maurier
were past sixty, and both had lived
lives of such varied intellectual activ-
tiles that they had crowded far more
into those years than an average man
can compass in a much longer life. OF
the TWO, the name of William Morris
IS probably less we'll known among rs
although his life and work were. in
some ways, the more interesting of the
two. He was g, poet, an artist, a de-
signer, manufacturer, a millionaire
and socialist. Inheriting a large for
tune at the age of ten he was able
from childhood to follow wherever his
tastes led him. The artistic instinct
was very strong in him. and he thought
that beauty was altogether the most
important thing in the world, and
that ugiiness was of all things most
hateful.
He studied first painting and then
architecture in his search for ways in
which to serve beauty, but found that
neither was, for him, the appointed
way. His first volume of poems was
brought out in 1858, and from that time
to the end of his life he published fire.
quently. His poetry was beautiful. but
cloying. 1t appealed more to the eye
than 10 the mind, for Morris genius
proved to be essentially decorative, and
his poems are like endless friezes,
where beautiful figures pass tirelessly

nection with several OF the -Raph-
aelite poets and artists. he started an
establishment for the artistic manu-
facture of wall papers, stained glass,
tapestries and decorative goods. The
experiment was made possible by his
money and successful by his business
ability, and probably the most lasting
good turn he has done the world was
in rendering possible the production Of
Burne-Jones designs for stained glass
artistic accomplishment was never of
the first order but his appreciation of
beauty was a kind of genius. His So
cialism, which was incomprehensible to
the British public in a millionaire cap
italist and employer of labor, was but
an outgrowth of his passion for beau
ty. He saw no prospect of a millennium
of good taste coming to reign over the
world Of commerce and manufactures
as at present constituted, and fondly
hoped that different social conditions
might produce a more aesthetic life.
His poetry may not be destined to live,
but the impulse which he gave to the
development of art in decoration is one
Of those influences which endure and
increase
Du Maurier, too, was artist first and
litterateur afterwards, but he was an
artist not so much because he loved
beauty as because he loved humanity,
and his love for and interest in people
did not find its proper expression until,
when near sixty, he wrote his first
novel In his cartoons, long famous in
London and beyond it, we find the
same qualities which made him such
a successful romancer. Humor, genial
ity, keen but kindly eye for human
follies and a subtle appreciation Of
human eXcellences - these were the
qualities which distinguished him
whether he drew with pencil or with
pen.
He might easily have been a greater
artist, in either field, but he could not
have been a more light hearted or ge-
NAL one, and the perverse world which
loves it's lovers will cherish his MEM

inspired work of more highly gifted
men
