Here is plain statement from
the New York Financial Record
that is good to read these times,
when the gold bugs are trying to
corral every State convention in
the Union: "The nominal amount
of money in circulation i'll the
United States is reported TO be
about $2l per person; tho amount
in actual circulation is less than
$12. 1t will likely surprise and
may assist in getting some of the
dust out of the eyes of those peo-
pie who have been deceived by
the talk of Sound money! etc, to
learn that France has in circula-
ton, more silver alone per person
than the people of the United
States have of all kinds of money,
of gold, of silver, legal tender notes
and national bank notes. France
is prosperous. If the United
States had proportionate circu-
lation we would likewise flourish.
Bimetallism means more money
and better times"

Some young boys last night be-

residence on Wand street, and
being requested to go away, as
they were disturbing the family,
but instead of doing as requested
they commenced throwing rocks
at the house. These boys don't
know it, maybe, but they are pre-
pairing the way to get themselves
in great trouble, that will cost
their parents money to get them
out of. 1t is felony to rock a
