COLONEL lNegRsoLL ON MONEY.
He States Some Plain Truths In His Own
Unique Way.

He States Some Plain Truths In His Own
Unique Way.
Following is an extract from the
speech of Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
at Chicago on Oct. 8:
Money that is money needs no guar
antee, needs no hacker; it is always
good. No matter how many nations go
down &c d;,st, good money rem ains for
ever the same. We have man running
for the presidency on three platforms,
with two vice presidents, that says
money is the creature of law. II the
government can make money by law,
why should the government collect
taxes? According to Mr.. Bryan, our
fathers were the friends of silver, and
vet our dear old fathers in all their
lives only minted s, 200, 900 of these sa-
cred dollars. Now see what the enc
mics of silver have done. Since 1878
the enemies Of silver have coined over
430, 900, 900 of these dollars, and yet
silver kept going down. We are coin
ing now over 81, 900, 900 month, and
silver keeps going down.
Senator Jones of Nevada, in 1878,
voted for the law Of 1878. He said,
from his speech in the senate, that God
had made gold the standard. He said
that gold was the mother of civiliza-
ton. Whether he has heard e-->a4 s$-1-
since or not do not know. But now he
is on the other side. Senator Stewart OF
Nevada was there at the time, but voted
for the act of 1878 and said that gold
was the only standard. He has changed
his mind No government can afford to
be a clipper on coins.
A great republic cannot afford to
stamp lie on silver or gold or paper.
Honest money for an honest people, is
sued by an honest nation. You cannot
make paper dollar without taking q
dollars worth of paper. We must have
paper that represents money. want 1t
issued by the government, and want
behind every one of these paper dollars
either dollar in gold or a silver
dollar worth 100 cents, SO that every
greenback under the flag can lift up its
hands and swear, 81 know that my re-
deemer liveth. That was where l was
30 years ago, and that is where am
tonight
For nations and individuals, at all
times, everywhere and forever, honesty
is the best policy. Better be an honest
bankrupt than rich thief. Poverty can
hold in it's hand the jewel honor-a
jewel that outshines all other gems. A
thousand times better be poor and noble
than rich and fraudulent. Nobody can
be helped by free coinage except the few
people who could pay their debts if they
were willing. Some say that it would
help the mine owners. 1t would not.
Coming this bullion into dollars would
not increase its value, because you could
coin the bullion of the whole world and
the supply would be greater than the
demand. Have freecoinage tomorrow,
and there is not silver mine owner
that would make dollar-not one-by
changing it into American coin. 1t
would only be worth what the bullion
is worth in the open market.
We want good money-good, honest
money. And there was never any real
prosperity for nation or an individual
without honesty, without integrity, and
it is our duty to preserve the reputation
of the great republic.

Mr. Bryan still calls himself obi
metallist, though he has never even
attempted to answer the question: "In
the history of this country has there
ever been time when gold and silver
circulated upon equal terms as full legal
tender money, with the minis open to
the free and unlimited coinage of both?'
There never was such time. Free
and unlimited coinage at 10 to has
never, in any country, at any time,
given bimetallic currency. Mr.. Bryan
is silver monometallist in fact, what
ever he may think himself to be in the
orxy

Bryan must demodify his farm prod
uct speeches or he will have to face
such hard questions as: ''What about
wheat and cotton? Are their prices CO.
ing up in sympathy with silver or be-
cause of a shortage of foreign crops?
What connection is there, anyway, be-
tween the prices of farm products and
of silver?"
OF course Bryan can answer all such
questions In fact, they are dead easy"
for a powerful man who can lift the
price of all the silver in the world to
twice its present height, but it is just
as we'll to avoid all unnecessary embar-
rassment.

Wheat. Cotton and silver.

While Bryan is telegraphing the New
York Journal that "the gold standard
makes dearer dollar. dearer dollar
means falling prices, and falling prices
mean hard times,' the prices of wheat,
corn and cotton are going up, and the
price of silver, the supposed barometer
of prices of farm products, is going
down

He'll Hath No Fury, Etc.

Demopols Express.
All the world loves lover, but some
times they carry their affection little
too far. Perly Green, colored, found this
so Sunday night. He was out to church
with his best girl, singing the songs OF
Zion in the Zion African Methodist Epis-
copal church, and little suspected that
trouble was in store. But Corinne jack
son, who fanced herself entitled to q
share in his affections, had let the demon
jealousy rage big in her heart, and was
waiting at the door ready to spring upon
Perly and her unfortunate rival. At
the close of the service, as Perly was
leaving the church, Corinne sprang upon
them, knife in hand. A lively serimmage
ensued, in which Perly received cut in
the shoulder and was considerably
carved about the face. Not approaching
such demonstrations of affection, Perly
started in for a small portion of revenge,
using his fists as best he could, but the
crowd would mix in, and she was out of
the way, leaving his anger still unap-
peased.

Pike County Merchant Suicides.

Troy Messenger
Mr.. p. d. Jones of Wicksburg, in the
lower part of this county, committed su-
icide last Tuesday morning by taking
morphine. Mr.. Jones was merchant at
Wicksburg, and has been living there for
the past two years. He was in dying
condition when found by his family. He
had in his pocket small bottle of NOR
phine, partly empty. 1t is reported that
he attempted to take his life by taking
morphine last week, but was discovered
in time to overcome it. He did not give
to anyone, or leave any reasons for his
rash act. He leaves a large family to
mourn his untimely demise.
