FREE SILVER.
Would Not Remedy the Unequal Distrlbu-
tion of Wealth.

Would Not Remedy the Unequal Distrlbu-
tion of Wealth.
1t is because of the belief that in some
way free coinage would give the poorer
classes some of the wealth now i'll the
hands of the rich that the farmers and
workers in some sections of the country
have favored the 1G to l schome.
Tho shallowncss of the prctenso that
the silver standard would help the poor
rs against the rich can be seen by con-
sidcring the results which its advocates
claim would follow its adoption They
insist that by measuring values in dol
lars worth half of gold dollar the
value of all tho wealth i'll the country
would be exactly doubled. This is an
error arising out of the silvcritC Confu
sion of value with price, Prices would
doubtless be doubled as compared with
the 90 cent dollar, but the value OF all
kinds of goods would not be increased
in the slightest degree. Does amy farmer
think that his implements or his furnl-
turc would really be worth moro to him
IL tlltll llNlllllal IIil'N W 10 N'utiNh'
But even if prices We're doubled how
would that help the people who are poor?
The man who now has 81, 600, 600 worth
of property would under free silver
have $4,000, 600 worth. This would
benefit him 100 times rs much, so far
rs prices are concerned rs the man
with $40, 900 and 1000 times rs much
rs the man with only 81, 1000 The men
who now have nothing would under free
coinage have exactly twice nothing. The
gap between the poor man and the mil.
lionairc would be just as great as it Is
now The laborcr, who has no goods to
sell, would find that tho prices of all his
food and clothing We're twice rs high,
while any increase of wages would come
slowly if mt all. In compelling the
masses to pay higher prices for all they
consume, while doubling the price of
the property of the wealthy classes, free
silver would make the rich richer and
the poor poorer.
Free coinage as u scheme for enrich
ing the owners of q few silver mines
and getting offices for calamity bowling
| politicians may be II great success. As
Il means of aholishing the differences
between the poor and the wealthy classes

The time has come for choice between
sound money on Cle side and initiation,
liquidation and ruin ON the other, and
the duty of the citizen who appreciates
the dangers Of free silveriSm is to align
himself with the element which is con-
tending for the best interests of the
country. 1t is all we'll enough to pirate
about the grand old Democratic party,
Int it is evident to every patriot that
when the Democratic party proposes a
policy which means the destruction of
the country's commerce and paralysis
OF its civilization that moment il should
be overwhelmingly crushed. Galveston

A PerilOus Experience.
he Darlington Journal.

The Darlington Journal
Andrew Remfrey had an experience
last Wednesday which he will remem-
Der with shudder as long as he re.
mains dweller in this vale of tears.
He was returning to his home in
Willow Springs from Mineral Point,
where he and his family had been
visiting. About two miles this side Of
the city his wife exclaimed " See
that horrible snake!" and sure enough,
there was a big, black puff adder six
feet long and as thick as a child's arm,
right Gin the middle of the road"
Andrew stopped his team and alighted
from his buggy; the viper gliding into
the weeds on the roadside, where
Andrew jumped upon 1t with both
feet, expecting to crush it, but was
Mortified when the reptile quick as
darted up Its ugly head and
with wide mouth open fully six inches
made dash at his face, but failed to
reach It, because the man had broken
the snakes bones in the middle Of its
body when he jumped upon 1t.
The reptile made repeated bites at
andrews leg, while the man kept him
elf extremely busy kicking. He was
