in-law, a man named Palmer, charged with
having strangled to death number Of in
fants, whose bodies were recovered from the
Thames, weighted down with bricks. From
letters found in the possession of the
woman, it seemed apparent that the parents
were aware of the fate intended for them.
The coroners had been puzzled for some
time by the extraordinarily large number
of Infants bodies found in the Thames, be-
tween Mapping and Battersea. II was inn
possible to trace the murderers of all those
thus found to Mrs. Dyer and Palmer, but
it has been suspected that they were re-
sponsible for large number OF the deaths
of the children thus found.

WHAT FREE SILVER COINAGE
WOULD MEAN.

In order to obtain a correct apprecia-
tion of what the advocates of free silver
coinage at the ratio of Is to / would
have the government do it is necessary
to understand what is the proper func-
ton Of the government in regard to
money. So far as this government is
concerned it's functions are partially de-
fined by the Constitution. which says:
THE Congress shall have power to coin
money and regulate the value thereof"
This is the only power in relation to
money expressly granted to Congress by
the Constitution. and this, it will be OBJ
served. relates to metallic money. The
Constitution does not give the govern
ment power to issue paper money, and
the government only does so by an i'm
plication or assumption of power which
| Is of doubtful constitutionality. The
Constitution gives Congress power Ito
borrow money on the credit OF the
United States" and this implies the
power to issue bonds. but it nowhere
gives Congress power to issue paper
money. In the framing of the Constitu-
ton 1t was proposed to give Congress
power to "emit bills on the credit Of the
United States" This would have car
ried the power to issue paper money.
The proposition was not adopted. 1t
caused a spii tied discussion and ended
in the adoption of provision that mo
State shall emit bills of credit" This is
a distinct prohibition of the Issuing of
paper money by any State. but it does
not clearly authorize the United States
to do so
Assuming that the only power the gov
ernment has under the Constitution in
connection with money Is to coin it, the
question is what does that mean? What
Is coinage? 1t certainly is not right
to give fictitious value to any metal
Only the common consent Of MANKIND
can give value to gold or silver. This
value depends on the cost OF labor in
procuring an abundance or scarcity and
on other causes whose operation is
beyond the control of legislation. Legis-
lation can neither confer nor destroy
intrinsic value. 1t can only recognize it,
The government can no more change the
values of gold and silver than it can
create one metal or the other. All it
can do is to recognize and certify their
value. The right of coinage is simply
the right to assay and purify gold and
silver. and stamp on each coin its weight
and fineness. The only function of the
government in connection with the COIN
age of money is to declare the purity
and certify the weight of the metal to be
used as a circulating medium. Coinage
confers no value: 1t simply certifies a
fact. The advocates of free silver COIN
age on the ratio of 16 to ask the gov
ernment to certify to falsehood and
become a party to fraud. They ask
Congress to prostitute it's constitutional
power to ''coin money to the degrading
work of coming and circulating a lie.

the purchase of the Kawaiahao prem
ises was made with the sons money,
and thus TO establish an equitable trust.
But the son admits that he did not
know that his father had conveyed the
land to him until a month after the
deed was made: and the father testifies
that the person who drafted the deed.
W. C. Achi 0ately an attorney of the
Court. did not know that the purchase
money of the Kawaiahao premises be-
longed to the son. The evidence that
it was his money is altogether vague
and unsatisfactory and insufficient upon
which to establish trust. The parties
say their earnings were commingled
and kept together. Some of it was per-
haps money we got from the sale to
Opfergelt," as the father says. No one
testifies how much or what proportion
of the money was the sons earnings
To establish a trust the recital in the
deed would have to be falsified, for it
is an entirely different consideration in
character from that expressed in the
deed, and where the deed is attacked
by a creditor as fraudulent and made to
hinder and delay the creditor in col
lecting his claim, the grantor should
not be allowed to show any other con-
sideration than that expressed in the
deed. 1t was so held in Ogden State
Bank " Barker, 40 Pac R., 766. That
the parties defendant knew that they
were likely to be held liable on their
covenant with Opfergelt and were anx-
ious to avoid it, is clear from the evil
dence, and on the advice of the same
person, Mr.. Achi, they made the sale
to Lau Chong and the conveyance in
question, and we are satisfied that
the latter one was made with the inten-
ton to defraud the plaintiffs.
The appeal is dismissed, the decree
affirmed and the cause remanded to the
Circuit Court for such further proceed
ings as may be necessary.
