MORE ABOUT HONEST DOLLARS.
They Are Those That Preserve ssaeIs
Relations with Commodities.

They Are Those That Preserve Stable
Relations with Commodities.
The honest dollar, so-called, is the
COLLAR which does what 1t promised 70
do. In general. says Mr.. 4. ]. Warner.
president of the Bimetallic league,
that is an honest dollar which main
tains parity with the things it meas
ares in daily relations to commodities.
That, too, is manifestly the best dollar
and the best kind of money"
The term honest money" however,
has been taken by the gold men to
mean gold alone, and they speak al
ways hypocriticaIly when they thus re-
fer to it.
BY honest" money is usually meant
that which will buy the most. and, OF
course, in that view of it the dearer
il becomes the honester it gets. The
honest way to increase the value
of money would be to increase the
weight of the coins, then all could I'M
derstand how it was done, and what it
really meant. There are two ways to
double the value of metallic coins; one
is to double the weight of coins; the
other TO destroy, or demonetize, half
the metal out of which money can be
made. The latter is the way taken to
make money honest" in 1878; by de-
stroying half the worlds money they
doubled the value of the other half.
The effect of this may be illustrated
by single fact.
1t is now everywhere admitted that
the price level of things generally has
fallen fully so per cent. since the de-
monetization of silver in 1873, which
is the same thing as an increase of 100
percent. in the value of money; for when
u dollar will buy in general twice what
it would formerly buy, it has doubled
in value or increased purchasing power
fully 100 per cent.
Besides the infinite injustice caused
indirectly by a money standard that
is constantly increasing in value as the
gold standard, the indirect effect upon
trade and industry is benumbing and
deadening. As money rises in value
prices fall, trade becomes hazardous,
forced into idleness. Hence the truth OF
the observation made by Hume long
ago, that an increasing volume of
money is attended always by stagnant
trade and restricted production. 1t
is, therefore, perfectly safe to conclude
when one is heard prating about hon
est money! that he is either not sincere
OF does not understand what he is talk
ing about.-Buffalo Times.

LOT thsf IS its name, but the rest of its

sounds that were meaningless.
Inc bird was brought home and
placed upon perch in the library. 1t
seemed 10 be healthy enough, but a re-
narkable change had, during the home
ward journey, come over its spirits. 1t
seemed morOse. Occasionally when
some one pronounced the name Loretta
within hearing of the parrot, it would
brighten up and begin to iabber in its
hnlnteIiiglble way, but these outbursts
were generally of short duration. 1t
was evident that the bird was victim
OF low spirits, and by the time the ex-
+. cursionists arrived home they were
heartily sorry that they had carried
Loretta away from the scenes of her
youth and the associations to which she
had been accustomed.
One day after the parrot had seemed
to be especially downhearted friend of
the family called to inquire about the
trip. He had been a great traveller
himself and could speak nearly all the
modern languages, being exceptionally
well Fersed in Spanish 1t may have
been due to the way in which he pro-
nounced the names of certain places and
things that he had seen upon his travels

parrot is saying?''
why, no." she replied. CT didn't
know that it could say anything. It's
all a LOT of meaningless chatter to me-"
Nothing further was said about il
until the visitor got ready to depart
Then he took the prominent citizen
aside and said to him:

called him, at the request of President

CRIMSON CLovEK.--Many Inquiries
have been made In this State with
In the past two years as to the prop
or time to SOW crimson clover, but
they have usually been made at a
time when the information WAS of
no Immediate use and was probably
soon forgotten when 1t was furnish
ed. The Georgia agricultural de-
partment repeats it this year in ad-
vance OF the planting season 80 AZ to
enable all farmers to profit by it, as
follows September and October,
according to locality, are tho best
months to SOW crimson clover. The
ground must be put In first class con-
dition, and, if necessary, kainit and
acid phosphate applied. Sow and roll
az for other clovcrs. Just as the heads
begin to show in the spring it may be
cut or it may by grazed, and If the cut
ting Is stopped Or the cattle taken of
in March, 1t will again spring up, per-
feet seed, and dying down scatter them
over the land, where they will remain
dorman until September, when the
young clover will again come into life
and gradually recover the land. As a
leguminous plant it is fully as valuable
as peas OF other varities OF clover"
There Is plenty Of time in which to put
the ground in proper condition. No
farmer in South Carolina who has not
already tried tho crop should fail to
give 1t a trial this year. Plant an acre
If no moro. 1t Is highly commended
by all agricultural authorities.

pleted the organization of what is known
as The Students Building Fund Associa-
tion of Bates College The object of the
association as indicated by its name is the
securing Of funds for the erection of a new
building upon the college campus. The
work OF soliciting funds is to be done en-
tirely by students and the building is to
be presented by them to the trustees of the
college.
The constitution of the association was
drawn up with the aid of a competent
lawyer, and careful provision has been
made for the management of all funds.
The treasurer of the college is the
treasurer OF this association and the col
lege auditor Is to audit all accounts.
Any student of Bates College may be-
come member of this association. those
joining before June 90, 1896, being char
ter members
The officers for the remainder of the
present college year are: President.

assembly hall, reading room, y. NJ. and
Y. w. c. A. room. and two society rooms
TO accommodate the literary societies.
This project has aroused considerable
interest among the students and large
proportion have joined the association. 1t

can be accomplished in one year, perhaps
not in five; but it is hoped that, by max
ing this association n permanent institu-
ton and giving every student from this
time on n chance to do something in its
behalf. the object will at length be realized
and Bates will have building which
shall represent the affection of large
number of students and alumni for their
