The Corder Dispatch, in announcing
Judge Chamblin for reelection, says:
"Mr. Chamblin has heen tried in that
dana rf mani onA hao not Haa, fo,ol
wanting to do his duty for the welfare of
the whole county" We deny it. Mr..
Chamblin may have made mistakes, but
he has always been found wanting to do
his duty. Nc man has a higher regard for
a public trust than he has. He has made a
good judge and the statement made by the

1.-THE Financial Philosophy; or The
Principles of the Science of Money: With
Observations or the Present Situation
by George Wilson, is now on sale. Chap
ter 1 Is the "Origin and Meaning of the
Word Money and the Evolution of
Money" This is undoubtIy the most ex-
haustive treatise on these points ever
written, and shows that some OF the
OAo III ONCAJ Jay L5C haNC
come to us from Chaldea and Babylonia,
where they were in use thousands of years
ago. Chapter 2 is on "Definitions," and
begins with a quotation from Voltaire,
"Defne your terms" Henry Carey Baird,
the old writer and publisher of economic
works, says this chapter has some of the
most acute logic that he ever read. In
Chapter 8 it is shown that mans right to
use the commodities making up the
medium of exchange is the same as with
regard to the things unchanged, l.. e.: no
government has the right to limit the
volume. Capter A relates to legal tender
acts. Fifth chapter on the ratio, contains
entirely new and original matter, showing
that there Is a natural ratio and why.
Chapter 8 relates to paper currency. In
Chapter z the author claims to give the
"crucial test and absolute proof" that
these are the true principles of the science
of money and must be so accepted by all
logical minds. Chapter 8 on "Conferences
with Foreign Nations" gives the reasons
why we ought especially to avoid them.
The next three chapters relate to the
present situation, and the last chapter
gives THE Cure'' for what is most unfor-
tunate in our present financial troubles.
The author is a student and also "A prac-
teal business man, and in writing he
made use of a greater or less knowledge of
about thirty languages and reached
sources out of reach of those who know
only one. 1t embodies his mature thought
and study of over fifteen years.
