The Demonstration OF silver.

Silver and gold are known as the
precious metals because from pre-
historic times up to 1873 they we're
used the world over as money met
ais. In 1878 codification of the
mint laws was prepared by a COM
mittee in the Treasury Department
under the supervision of John j.
Knox, and it was passed through
Congress as a codification, und un-
derstood by all not in the secret to
be simply codification which did
not change the existing coinage
laws. Various nations of Europe
followed America and stopped coin
ing silver. TIE price Of silver de-
clined because the mint demand
was cut off, and the gold conspira-

THE FlFrY-CENT DOLLAR.

All dollars issued by the United
States contain one hundred cents.
The goldites call the silver dollar
fifty-cent dollar because the silver
bullion in a silver dollar is only
worth in the market now about half
as much as the gold in a gold dol
lar. This is not a fair argument,
because the greenback is not fifty
cent dollar, and the paper of which
it is composed is worth less than
one cent, and it would be very ri
diculous to call the greenback one
cent dollar Every silver dollar in
circulation will buy just as much
as a gold dollar, and there are more
than four hundred millions of sill
yer dollars in circulation, including
the actual coin in circulation about
sixty millions and the silver GER
tifcates in circulation amount to
about three hundred and fifty mill
lions. The silver certificates are by
law redeemable in silver dollars
and nothing else. If person takes
a silver certificate to the Treasury
Department he can get silver dol
lar. Notwithstanding the silver in
circulation and the silver certificat-
es representing silver coin in the
Treasury circulate on par with
gold, the goldites persist in calling
them fifty-cent dollars. Some gold
ties have gone so far as to utter the
bold lie that the government credit
is behind the silver dollar. There
is nothing behind the silver dollar
or the silver certificate except the
legal tender function which is be-
slowed upon the dollar by Congress.
The law commands everybody to
receive silver dollars in payment of
debts and taxes. That keeps them
on par with gold without any
agreement, expressed or implied, to
redeem them in gold. But the gold
ite suggests that if silver was re-
monetized the silver dollar would
then be worth only fifty cents, and
in the same breath he says that the
bullion in the hands of the silver
miner would be doubled in value.
Now, if the silver dollar is worth
only fifty cents, how could the sill
yer bullion be doubled in value. 1t
would be strange phenomena to
have the amount of bullion required
to make silver dollar worth one
hundred cents and the dollar after
wards coined worth only fifty cents.
The argument that the silver miner
would be benefited so per cent on
the value of his bullion is an ad-
mission that silver bullion would go
up to par with gold, and that being
the case, where would the fifty cent
dollar come from?-W. M. STEW

Rare r1uSical Treat.

The concert given in the assem-
bly, hall of the Jacob Tome Insti-
tute last Saturday evening by the
Port Deposit Choral Society, was
most enjoyable.
The program, consisting of vocal
and instrumental selections of the
choicest order, was rendered by the
choral society under the direction
of Miss Emma E. Stone of the Tome
Institute assisted by Miss Grace
Updegraff, soprano soloist, and Miss
Isabel M. Houser, pianist.
The opening chorus, go Pray for
the Peace of Jerusalem" was rem
dered by the society, Miss Bessie
Pugh sustaining the solo part.
One of the most pleasing features
of the program was the piano solos
by Miss HOuser.
A number of choruses were sung
by the choral that added much to the
enjoyment of the evening and tes-
titled to the ability and pains TAX
ing care of the instructress, Miss
Stone.

Undertaking.

Port Deposit is at present well
provided with undertakes there
being no less than four in that town
ready and waiting to bury the dead.
Among the items presented in
the bill against the estate of a
deceased person is the modest one
of fifty dollars for embalming the
body, which if paid without protest
will likely increase the number of
undertakers to a great extent and
the family of sick persons will be
annoyed by letters or agents solicit
ing the job in case of death. Dying
is becominga very expensive luxury.
There is large field open for a
funeral reform Association, or
undertakes will soon take the
entire estate of deceased persons.

Old Soldiers Attend Church.

AS is the custom the Sunday
preceding Decoration Day Garfield
Post, whose headquarters are al
Rising Sun, attended the Methodist
church on last Sunday morning
thecompany numbering 81 members
They marched in procession from
their hall to the church where front
pews were reserved for them. Rev.
Mr.. Rooms had prepared a special
discourse for the occasion which
was appropriately battressed by
Bible texts and hymns. The choir
acquitted itself grandly, having
selected some very appropriate, as
we'll as fine music for the occasion.
Miss Rhoda Wilson sang a solo.
The piece was well chosen for the
occasion, the music being soft,
plaintive and dirge-like, the tender
notes of the songster filling the
church with melody like silver
chimes from Paradise.
The speaker in his "reminiscences
of the war, ascribed many of the
turning points to special provi-
dences, ordained for the occasion.
One of these was the failure to
march into Richmond after the
battle of Malvern Hill. Another
the failure to pursue and capture
Lee after his defeat at Antietam.
In place Of a special providence
intervening in these and other &C.
casions, we attribute it to Gen.
McClellen's mate cowardice. If
all that gigantic war to destroy
slavery was a divine plan, then an
other divine plan of bringing
slavery to this country and plant
ing it here will haveto be ascribed
to a divine plan and special Provi-
dence. The idea of a divine plan
to establish wicked abomination
in order to wipe it out again with
fearful carnageand blood, challenges
human reason, while impeaching
infinite wisdom, love and mercy.
The special providence doctrine is a
handy method of Sinking respon-
sibility, and laying the blame at
the door of Providence. The
search light of a higher intelligence
is dispelling the sophistry of ecles-
astical dogma.
The closing exercises were very
pretty. The doxology was sung
followed by benediction, and the
preacher requested the doxology to
be sung again while he shook hands
with the old Vets. The audience
was requested to remain seated till
the soldier guests filed out of the
church in advance of the congrega
ton.

predecessors is a splendid number
In social, economic and political
problems, the Arena leads all
magazines, and is justly entitled to
the first place in the present move
ment of reform.
The opening article of this
number is by Rev. Samuel L.
Barrows, d. D. CELSIUS, The first
pagan critic of Christianity" The
article is sure to attract wide at
tention. Justice Walter Clark,
concludes his series of most interest
ing sketches ON Mexico, under the
title of ''The Land of the MONDAY

these articles by Mr.. Clark about
Mexico, that is new to American
readers. No series of articles have

pendence and capacity to grapple
and deal with the silver question in
scientific manner, and has de6ed
the seductions of the Rothschild
gold conspiracy. In short Mr.. st.
John is the only true American who

fine portrait of the Quaker Poet
forms a frontispiece to this number.
The editor also discusses somewhat
at length in his editorials, the mes
sage of Whittier to men and women
of to-day, and the proposed plat
form Of Mr.. st. John. Another
interesting feature Of this issue is

The Democratic Convention.

The democrats of Cecil county
met in county convention in Odd
Fellows hall Elkton, Tuesday morn
ing for the purpose of selecting four
delegates to the State Convention
and four delegates to the Congress
sional Convention.
The meeting was called to order
by John Banks, and f. S. Everist
was made chairman and DR.. r. w.
Black of Cecilton secretary. Com
mittee on Credentials was named,
one from each district.
Resolutions endorsing the admin
istratioA of President Cleveland
and condemning the free coinage of
silver were passed unanimously.
The following were nominated
for delegates to the State Conven-
ton: Messrs. w. S. Evans, f. III.
Thompson, E. A. Clendenin, S. G.
Rowland and Geo. w. Taylor.
The following were named as
delegates to the Congressional con-
vention: Messrs. G. r. Ash, W.
B. Davis, w. X. Reckefus and w
M. Pogue.
Austin L. Crothers was the
unanimous choice of the convention
for Congress from the county and
the delegates were instructed to
vote for him.
1t will be interesting to observe
the Maryland democrats boxing the
compass when the Chicago conven-
ton puts free silver candidate on
the ticket, and there is every pros
pect of this taking place by the
way the states west of the Miss
issippi and south of Maryland are
tumblimg into line for free silver.
Such states as Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
etc. are electing free silver dele
gates. Maryland will feel like a
cat in a strange garrett placed among
the Yankee New England States.
But the prospect of the old eighth
district of Cecil furnishing the
congressman is glory enough, and
there'is plenty of time to change
for free silver before the election.

The Rod Saved the Barn.

During one of the recent thun-
der storms which passed over this
county a heavy bolt of electricity
fell on the rod on the Whitaker
Iron Company's barn. The bolt
was so heavy that the point of the
rod and one half of the ball were
melted and the rod bent about two
feet below the point. The barn had
been rodded by Mr.. Geo. S. Fox of
this town, who uses none but the
latest improved rod, with solid
points, attached by screw to the
rod. The hollow point, which is
attached by socket arrangement,
invariably bursts when a charge
takes the rod.
Although the bolt which struck
the rod on the Whitaker Iron Com
pany's barn was an unusually
heavy charge, melting the point
and ball on the rod, the conductor
carried the fluid safely to the
ground, completely protecting the
building from destruction.
Mr.. Fox has the contract for rod
ding the Tome Institute at Port
Deposit, which will require twelve
or thirteen hundred feet of rod and
eight potts. Mr.. Fox guarantees
all his work and STIMULATES in his
contracts to keep the rods in repair
for a term of years, which requires
careful attention and looking after
as soon as any symptoms are man
Tested that the rods need fixing.
