CARRYING OF SUNDAY EXPRESS
Judge Robinson Has Granted a Re
Straining Order Returnable on
September 10th.

AS was stated in the News and OBJ
server some days ago, notices have
been ISSUED by the Southern Railway
Company and the various railroads
constituting the Seaboard Air Line
system to the Southern Express Com
pany stating that an order had been
issued that no express matter except
live stock and pefishable freight would
be transported on Sundays.
Yesterday morning restraining or
der (Which was granted by Judge Rob
inson Wednesday afternoon), was SER
we'd upon the various railroads of the
Seaboard Air Line system, enjoining
them from putting into effect their or
der, and from refusing to carry express
matter on Sundays.
The order is returnable before Judge
Robinson on September 10th. The Ex-
press company claims that the statute
forbidding any cars to be run on the
railroads in this State on. Sundays,
with orIwifhout passengers, except
those which~-carry the United States
mail, with6or without passengers, was
not lntfpded, to! prevent, and does not
prevent, upon fair, construction, or
prohibit the transportation of express
matter; that such statute, expressly
permitting cars to be run for carrying
live stock and perishable freight, but
forbidding the transportation of other
classes of express matter is an at
tempted regulation of interstate com
merce, and invalid; that this case is
clearly distinguishable from the case
Of bennington against Georgia, recent
ly decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States, the argument in
which, it is contended, supports the
views of the Express company.
Hon. F. G. DuBignon, of Savannah,
Ga, and F. FL. Busbee, Esq, of this city,
represent the Express company, and it
is understood that Hon. L. r. Watts.
of Portsmouth, Va, and Messrs. Mac
Rae & Day, of this city, will represent
the defendants.

Governor Carr yesterday received a
telegram from Arthur Brisbane, editor
of the Sunday World, as follows;
''Is it true that there is a law i'm
North Carolina for the sale of debtors
at public auction by sheriff, such as
prevails in Kentucky? If North Car
Dina has such a law, will YOU kindly
wire me personally your opinion of the
statute. Is it not a form Of ancient
legal oppression? OF what benefit is
it to society? Is it often enforced?
An immediate answer will greatly
oblige."
OF course there is no such law on
the statute books.
Governor Carr was very much anus
ed by the queries, and will preserve the
telegram as a curiosity.

that Dockery might reconcile things by
announcing that he was for Mckinley
for President and Watson for Vice
President. This was suggested to
Mai. Guthrie and he said he had no
idea what Dockery thought about
anything at all; he supposed we would
all know Saturday. He said that he
expected the Democrats and Populists
to vote one electoral ticket, and that
ticket would have to be Bryan and
Watson. He said the Democrats would
have to take Watson, as if they could
force Democrats TO vote as they
pleased.

CAN DEBTORS BE SOLD HERE?

The Editor of the Sunday World Asks
Governor Carr the Question.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-09-05
ABOUT CONTRACTION.

An esteemed contemporary approx
ingly quotes the following;
's1f government contracted Q DEBT
with a certain amount of money In cir
culation, and then contracted the mon
ey volume before the debt was paid, 1t
is the most heinOus crime that q gov
eminent could commit against the peo-
ple,-Abrahan Lincoln.
The argument sought to be deduced
from that quotation is, that by the de-
monetization of silver in 1863, the vol
ume of money in the country was re-
duced, hence a most heinOus crime was
committed. Let us examine the facts.
In 1873 the total amount of money in
the United States was STA 45,610; in
1895 the volume of money in the United
States was just exactly $2,S9S, 607, 42O,
or moro than three times as much as in
1873. It win be seen that in these %
years the volume of money increased
upwards of 200 per cent, while the pop
ulatiOn increased only about 81 per cent.
The per capita of money in 1873 was
1855, in 1895 it is $34.3S. The actual
circulation in 1873 was 1851, 1881 800,
making a per capita circulation of
$500. In 1895 the circulation was ST.
COL 1858, 473, making per capita circu-
lation of about 1923, or S. more for
each man, woman and child in 1895
than in 1873. These figures are taken
from the official reports of the United
States treasury department and, there
fore, are reliable. The volume of mon
ey has steadily increased in relation to
population ever since 1873, although
the amount in circulation has tiuctuat.
ed somewhat, but in no single year has
it been as low as in 1873. Abraham
Lincoln's dictum is unquestiOnably cor
rect, but there is no fact in the finan.
cial history Of this country during the
past % years to which it has any appli-
cation. The effort, therefore, to make
1t do service as a free silver argument
in the present campaign flavors of dis
honesty.

HUMAN SACRIFICE.

One strong argument in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to l is that it costs as
much to produce 16 ounces of silver as
one ounce Of gold. Senator Jones
bases value on labor, and puts 1t this
way: 1t requires the same expendi.
ture of labor, OF human sacrifice, to
produce 16 ounces of silver as one
ounce of gold. That would seem to
make powerful argument founded on
just principles. One day in reading
the history of the United States, we
came across something like this: "Soon
after the settlement of Maryland in
1884, grain, tobacco and livestock were
received in payment of taxes under the
name of country pay Tobacco being
the staple became the general medium
of exchange, but it never attained the
purchasing power it once had in Vir-
ginia, where an invoice of girls, hand
some and recommended for virtuous
demeanOr' were purchased as wives by
bachelors of the province at 100 pounds
of tobacco apiece, and the demand was
so brisk that they soon rose $50
pounds" Upon this statement Of fact
and accepting Senator Jones' theory of
value, we are driven to the conclusion
that the same amount of human sacri-
flee was at one time expended in the
production of handsome girl of viz.
tuous demeanor as in the production
of 100 pounds of Virginia tobacco; that
in short time the relative amount of
labor required for the production of
these articles changed and it took as
much human sacrifice to produce a
standard girl as to produce 100 pounds
of tobacco. 1t is quite reasonable to
suppose that girl below the stand
ard of beauty and virtue would not
fetch as much in the market as one
generously endowed with these desira.
Die qualities, consequently we may in
fer that in the early history of our
country it required a greater expendit-
ure of human sacrifice to produce a
handsome girl of virtuous demeanor
than to produce a plain girl of CUES
tionable department. THE TRIBUNE
can not speak from experience upon
this subject as we never raised
any tobacco; but reasoning in a gen.
eral way we can not clearly see any re.
lation, in the matter of human sacrifice.
between the production of tobacco and
the production of girls. AS a broad
proposition, Senator Jones' theory of
values may approximate correctness
but there are numerous and damaging
exceptions, especially in the matter of
girls; for we know some girls that all
the tobacco in this world could not Dur.
chase, yet the human sacrifice involved
in their production is scarcely worth
mentioning.
