about the burglar who tried to get in, and
how they pounded on AIS door and could
not even get an answer.
At noon he was off, and al, the train

stopped to leave his bag at hotel, and
walked rapidly to a familiar house in the
suburbs. Ringing the bell, he inquired for
Miss BUR- in a matter-offact way, as if he
had seen her the day before He watched
the girl face as he spoke, and saw no trace
of surprise. She simply said:
"Miss Burr may not be able to see you,

girl he had ever loved. He meant to eX-

HARVEY SPEAKS IN OHIO.
The Author of "Coin" Talks on
Silver.
Residents OF Ohio Listen to Sound Argu-
ments on the Financial
Question.

W. H. Harvey, the wellknown advo-
cate OF free coinage, is engaged in an
active campaign in favor OF the white
metal. Recently he has been speaking
throughout the state OF Ohio, where his
utterances have attracted the attention
OF both the press and people.
From one OF his addresses, delivered
at Greencastle not long ago, we take the
following solid statements of facts:
Mr.. Harvey says:
Individual selfishness crystallized into
laws has been the cause OF the downfall
OF all republics. When the people in a
republic, by example and training, be-
come worshipers OF Mammon, all laws
are made and construed for the accumu-
lation aud protection OF property inter
ests, and the principles OF humanity are
neglected.
We are living under laws that are
making their impress upon our civiliza-
ton; that, if further permitted, will
result as fatally TO our republic and to
human happiness as have he ieudal was
OF Europe and any that have overthrown
the republics OF the past.
Chief among our laws affecting our
civilization, defended by sci fish inter-
ests, is our financial laws, and that
brings me to the subject uppermost in
the minds OF the American people.
The vital principal in bimetallsm is
the right to use either metal. Ii pro-
duction grow less ,on one, we have the
other, and the two together furnish
more stable supply OF money than either
alone can furnish.
Under free coinage of both metals,
silver and gold are in competition with
each other to supply the demand for
money.
The right to use only one metal as
primary money, as is the law now, is
monometallism. 1t is like a man with
one arm, one leg or one lung. Mono
metallism is one-lung monetary sys-
tenn.
Bmetallism is the right to use either
or both OF two metals. Only one may
be in use at time, or partially one and
mostly the other. II one grows scarce,

or Is cornered by SPECTATORS, we may
use the other.
Under this law, with MS, &71I
grains OF pure silver were put in
a d)llar, and % l-5 grains of pure
gold were put in dollar. is gold dollars
to weigh as much as one silver dollar.
That is what Is to ! means.
In 1873 the law was changed and
gold only was made primary money.
The mints were left open to the free coin
age of gold, but closed as to the free
coinage OF silver. An unlimited de-
mand for gold for use rs money was left
in operation. The unlimited coinage
OF silver was stopped.
With all the principals of bi metal
lism destroyed, with silver thereafter
used as token OF credit money, like
our paper money, all resting on gold,
silver began to decline in value as
measured in gold, the only primary
Nancy, and in twenty-five years it has
declined SO per cent, or, rather, gold,
under the demand for it, has appreci,
ated.
All property not supported 10y trust
causes, or increased demand, iell with
silver as expressed in dollars. As
measured by eXchangeable value with
each other, or with silver, they had not
declined. They have only declined as
measured in dollars.
With falling prices the people have
been impoverished. Taxes have not
reduced.
They say that to remonetze silver
will run gold out OF the country. Gold
is not in circulation now. 1t is cor.
nered.
They say silver was demonetized on
account OF over-productOn. At the
time silver was demonetized, the world
was producing so cents in silver to one
dollar in gold; less silver than gold.
The world is now-in lS96-productng
about % cents worth OF silver TO one
dollar OF gold.
They say it costs less to produce silver
now than formerly, and that makes it
cheaper. When man makes that
statement to you, put this question to
him: Does il not also cost equally less
to produce gold?
They say; Admitting lower prices,
farmers can buy everything as cheap as
they have to sell their property for, so
who's hurt?'
They can't go and pay their taxes
with the same number OF bushels Of

wheat that they did in 1873. Nor can
you pay your debts.
They tell us that the increased pro-
duction OF gold is going TO supply so
much gold that it will be cheap and
wheat will 90 back to $l.30 per buehel.
The arts and sciences, including den
tistry and other uses consume the an
nual supply OF gold ior monetary pur-
poses.
They say the free coinage Of silver is
in the interest OF the silver bullion
owners. Ask them, il this is true, in
whose interest is the free coinage of
gold?
They say we cannot 60 it alone.
Do you want to 90 it alone on gold
any longer? There is nothing to fear
by the RECOMMENDATION OF silver. When
great government like the United
States throws its mlnts open to silver
and says to the world: eve have es-
tablished bimelallism, and any one can
bring 37lL4 grains OF silver or 23.22
grains OF gold to our mints and coin
them respectfully into dollars" then no
one is going to take less than dollar
for that quantity OF silver.
But, you say, people will rush to the
treasury to draw gold on credit money
and will wipe out the treasury in day
OF its gold, and that would cause a
panic. There, too, there is protection,
Those notes are payable in coin, not in
gold.
They say we cannot transtract busi-
ness with the commercial nations OF
Europe unless We use the same metal
ior our primary money as they do.
That is a iallacy. Gold does not pass
between nations by the stamp Of the
government upon it, but by weight,
We settle our balances with Europe
primarily with our exports, and il we
do not ship them enough OF oar merch
andise and crops to pay them then we
pay them gold at so much an ounce.
1t is not treated as money. There is
no such thing as international money.
Reverse this selfish legislation and our
people will again enjoy prosperity.
In the hour OF our sorest need, let it
be said that Ohio rallied under the ban
ner Of humanity firm in resolve TO sus-
tain free institutions!

to the executive committee. The consti

acquaintance among hotel men through
out the state, secondly, to protect the
hotel business from unjust and un-

Fourthly. to protect members from be

TO hotel keepers. 1t will be seen by
the Constitution that there has been
much said about the formation of this

question! But an earnest discussion
was held upon the unjust laws in the
state books regarding dead beats also

THE UNIvERSALIsT FAIR.
Fin de Siecle-The Town Hall u Blaze Of
Light and Beauty-Neat DecOrat ions
The Ladies Can Afford To Feel Well.

| The annual fair and festival of the
ladies of the Universalist church was
held in the remodelled town hall We'd
nesday evening and far surpassed in
the line of beauty anything the society
has ever done before. The chief at
traction of the evening and which
commanded unusual attention, was
the electrical center-piece in the
center of the hall which had been de
signed and arranged by Frank Taft
and F. r. Vaughan, and which repIe-
sents 5000, Sl00 IN lamps being on the
ball alone. The lower part of the cen
ter piece was used as flower booth
above which was an illuminated tower
lighted by 36 incandescent lamps OF 10
candle power Above the whole was a
revolving ball with 1876 decorative lamps
in white, ruby. green. blue and pur
pie upon its surface. The electric
power was obtained from a motor in
TIE inside with an arrangement of an
automatic switch, which would shut
off the current for an instant making
it all the more effective. The ladies
in charge of the flower booth were Mrs.
Fl. f. Brooks, Mrs. f. r. Vaughan
and Miss Amy Hines. The booths this
year were not heavily drapped as in
former years but were more like tables
where the articles for sale could be
displayed to better advantage. The
first stand on the left side of the room
as one entered the hall was the candy
table, which was in charge of Misses
Winnie Elmer and Nan Houghton
and was made of light green and white
with snow balls. Next came the
Bundle booth" which was very hand
some indeed, being pure white, pro-
fusely decorated with clusters of purple
wisteria aud in charge of Mrs. Flagg
and her Sunday school class. The
stage OF the hall was used for two
cosy corners and was resplendent with
fur rugs, banquet lamps, palms etc.
At one of these, lemonade was dispensed
by Mrs Henry Brown and Mrs. Walter
Hubbard and at the other chocolate
was served by Mrs. Frank Reed and
Mrs. Fred Reed. In the center Of the
platform an allegorical figure was ar
ranged representing Uncle Sam" and
his horn of plenty. DIR. Geo. f. Bar
