 To the Officers and Members of Camp Hardee, United Confederate Veterans: Your committee appointed to make men, ton of the life and death of our comrade, H. F. Dusenberry. beg leave to submit:
 First of all. we offer apology to all con- cerned for the lateness of this action. No man has lived and died more respected by Confederate veterans. His record as a citizen was equally honored and hon. orable. His last public service to his country was rendered as coroner of Jeff ferSon county. He was all we could wish as a husband and father. As a Confederate soldier he was brave and true. From the first to the last of that awful struggle he served with unfiincb- ing fidelity. He belonged to the com mand of General Forrest. and much of the time was one of hts special escort. His was the post of danger and honor With that noted general he surrendered in the spring of 1865 After a long eud useful career our comrade fell on sleep" March 24. 1896. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his depart ure; therefore he it

CONCLUSIONS OF AN ENGLISH FIX
 PERT.

One of the ablest financial experts in Eng land, MT. w. H. Grenfell, has re- gently been interviewed by correspond ent of the New York Journal on the coin- age question with regard to the United States and England. Mr. Grenfell is president of the general council of the Bimetallic League of England. Follow ing is what he says:
 'In discussing this great question with reference to the United States and Eng land" said MT. Grenfell, there is one important point which should be borne in mind, and that is the fact that with us the word 'bimetallist' bears a different meaning from what 1t bears with you. In the United States, as I understand, a bi- metallist is one who wishes the United States to adopt the bimetallic system without any international agreement with other countries-to go 1t alone in fact; whereas in this country the bime- tallic league exists for the purpose of se- curing by international agreement a stable monetary par of exchange be- tween gold and silver. With us bimetal- lism means international bimetallism with you it means bimetallism for the United States independent of any agree ment with foreign countries. This diff ference opens up most momentous question: What would be the effect of the success of the bimetallic party in the United States? Or in other words, what would be the effect on the United States and on the world generally if the United States adopted bimetallsm at 16 to without an international agreement with foreign countries? On this point I may at once say that I am at variance with what has hitherto been the feeling of the English Bimetallic league. The English Bimetallic league, as league, Is opposed to the policy of single handed bimetal- lism for the United States for two req sons-first, because they are afraid that the United States single handed may not be able to maintain the monetary par of exchange between the two metals, and so bring discredit and failure upon sys- tenn which they maintain to be sound and orthodox and thus put the whole system back: and, second, because they are afraid of seeing a gold premium in New York. which would act as a protective duty against our exports there, and give them, by establishing a common medium

DON'T BELIEVE IN SANCTIFICATION
 NOW

T believe that any nominee of demo- cratic convention no matter what may be my personal relations to him, is suffi- ciently sanctified for any democrat to vote for him."
 Of course the reader thinks the above declaration was made by some one who is now supporter of Bryan, the demo- cratic nominee. When we tell you it is the declaration of one of the political "stiffs" now engaged in an effort to de- feat the democratic nominee you have a right to express surprise that man who once held and gave public expression to such sentiment is now a bolter and ac- lively at work in his feeble way to bring about the defeat of man who has been sanctif1ed by the nomination of demo- cratic convention by more than g. two- thirds majority. Tn speech at We tumpka on the 18th day of October, 1891, Ex-Governor Jones made use of the ex- pression which heads this article. You see he had been sanctified at that time, but since that time the party has repu- diated him and now he don't think much of the sanotifying power of a democratic convention.

LET EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTE.

LEFT EVERY BODY CONTRIBUTE.
 It is known of all men that the money power of the country is on the side of Mckinley and against the people in the pending presidential contest An inn mense corruption fund has been sub- scribed with which 1t is hoped McKln- ley's election can be purchased.
 The democratic party is the party of the people. Nominee Bryan is making the fight for the people. It is a clear cut issue of the classes against the masses.
 In a great contest like this 1t is ab- solutely necessary to have some money for campaign purposes.
 There are no bloated bondholders and trust barons on the side of the people to contribute fabulous sums of i'll gotten money to their campaign fund.
 There is no way by which the neces- sary money to defray the legitimate ex- penses of the campaign can be obtained except it be through a popular subscrip- ton.
 
 of the union Chairman Jones of the national democratic executive committee says:
 THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE PRESENT CONTEST IS EN- GAGED IN THE DEFENSE OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE AGAINST THE EN- GLASSES. THIS IS PURELY AN ECONOMIC ISSUE. IN ITS IMPOR- TANCE, HOWEVER. IT OVER SHADOWS EVERY QUESTION WHICH HAS OCCUPIED PUBLIC AT TENTlON SINCE THE TRAGIC CAM PAIGN OF 1860.
 TT PRESENTS AN ALTERNATIVE AT ONCE IMPERATIVE AND TERRI BILE. TT IS IMPERATIVE BECAUSE DELAY MAY TAKE FROM US THE POSSIBILITY OF CHOICE, AND TER RIBLE BECAUSE OF THE DIRE CON- SEQUENCES WHICH MUST FOLLOW FAILURE.
 "ls THE AMERICAN UNION BIG ENOUGH, STRONG ENOUGH AND PATRIOTIC ENOUGH TO HAVE ITS OWN FINANCIAL POLICY? IF NOT, THEN WE ARE THE SERFS OF THE MONEY CHANGERS OF EUROPE AND THEIR AGENTS IN THIS CoUN- TRY, AND ARE DOOMED TO VAS MORE DEGRADING THAN THAT AGAINST WHICH OUR FATHERS FOUGHT A CENTURY AGO.

WE BELIEVE THAT LIB ERTY AND SELF-GOVERNMENT ARE DESTINED TO REMAIN THE HERITAGE OF THIS SPLENDID MA TION; THAT WE SHALL NOT BE "A TED TO BECOME A LIVING LIE, A NATION OF SLAVES.

LABOR DAY.

It is gratifying to every lover of the people to note that Labor Day was gener- ally observed throughout the United States
 The parade in this city yesterday was highly creditable. It was an object les son to many who had hitherto no concep- ton of the strength and dignity of the various organizations which participated.
 That was a felicitous thought of the Trades council-the invitation to Dr. J. l.. M. Curry to deliver the principal ad- dress of the exercises at Lakeview The occasion was thus rendered one of profit as we'll as of pleasure.
 Americans have too few holidays. and the setting apart of one sacred to labor means the enlargement of our enjoy ments and the broadening of our sympa- thies.
 Let us hope that the Labor Day of 1897 will even excel that of yesterday.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad, which so kindly furnished the national republican campaign committee with the names, addresses and financial leanings of its employees some weeks ago, should make haste to send certified duplicate sheets containing the same information to the national democratic campaign committee with headquarters at Chicago, Ill.

the relative The yardstick being a cer- tain fractional part of certain degree of longitude, Is necessarily an absolute measure, as 1t will only change as Divine Providence changes the degree of longi- tude. But money values are purely rela- tive. Thu commercial value of any one things always depends on it's relation to other things. If to the $500, 900, 900 of gold in sight in the United States you could tomorrow add $4,000, 900, 900, you would soon see money value was rela tive Money would be much cheaper. But add to a yardsticlk 4000 more yards and the original yard would remain exactly the same.
 "The term honest money as applied to gold standard, should never be used by bimetallists, for it is the most dishon- est money ever conceived by the mind of man. The debts made from 1861 to 1865, that are yet to be paid. are collectable in what is equivalent to a seven-dollar dol lar. This is about the difference in the war dollar and the present gold dollar At the close of the war they could have paid the whole war debt. and for all the slaves, with less of the things Uncle Sam produces than now they could pay the $1,000. 100000 of war debt remaining.

NEW CARRIAGES.

where the soil Is good for him, but he has had to
compete with the bicycle. The carriage-maker'has
taken a leaf out of the bicyclist's book, however.
and the result is that about 80 per cent Of the fash
ionable broughams, victorias, cabs and other
vehicles made this year will be equipped with solid
rubber tires
The latest idea in their arrangement is a rec

is supported by the felloe. with the rubber tire
fitted smoothly in this. the channel being shaped
so as to hold 1t in place. and yet allow 1t to slip
to and fro This prevents the wear and tear on the
edge Of the rubber. which has been found draw
back in other methods. pair of parallel wires are
run through each rubber tire as a means of
strengthening 1t.
The most popular vehicle for general use this
season is the brougham. and the various makers
of the city are all doing their best to add to its
usefulness by whatever improvements ingenuity
may suggest. The result. by-the-way, will be IN
evidence at the coming horse show. but manu-
facturers are shy at present about revealing tho
secrets of these prospective exhibits.
