The first currency used in Virginia,
he said, was coop-skn, because the
people needed clothing. The COON skin
was used for It's intrinsic value. Then
we had tobacco! The salaries of Judges
and ministers were paid In tobacco.
Why? Because in foreign parts that
tobacco could be exchanged for English
gold.
I'VE must look into the philosophy of
our propositions before we conclude that
our own ideas are infallible.
AS civilization progresses the sitting
process continued iron. copper. din
monds and rubies were delegated to
the rear and their places We're taken by
gold and silver. Understand, and do not
insist to see silver driven out of our sys-
tenn.
Now we come to the free coinage Of
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to /.
That ratio was formerly maintained be-
cause the bullion value was relatively
the same.
IF 1t is a mere arbitrary agreement
or ratios. why won't our free silver lead
ers say. why We'll make the parity abso-
iute. ounce FOR ounce, the same value.
The creditor class and the debtor
class are synonymous with each other
Every man owes something and is also
a creditor himself. Every bank on earth
is big debtor as well as n creditor. IT
ployees.
Il desire to state that there is nothing
more In the constitution OF the United
States to substantiate the assertion that
silver is the money of the constitution
than there Is that Cain is the Bible.
Congress has the right as well, to
make backing legal tender as II has to
coin silver or gold. Objection to the un-
limited coinage of silver Is that II will
cause a cheap dollar. The most ardent
of its advocates say that II vii be OF
equal value with gold but will 1t? The
howlers about debtors and creditors
don't care anything about the intrinsic
value. A so cent or n 40 cent dollar will
suit them as well as one worth 100 cents
How Is the money coined under the
Populist law, to be distributed The
government has no hand In II. Are the
mine owners TO improve the rivers. har-
bors. ETC. VIII they build warships and

they'll do will be for their own personal

Mr.. Doyle's time having expired he
resumed his seat amid great applause,
and was succeeded by DIR. l.. B. frey,
we'll known physician. who made a
strong argument for silver 81
Mr.. William Henry Sergeant. n young
attorney, closed the debate with a re-
toinder for gold. Both of the latter gem
tlemen made excellent arguments and
were frequently interrupted by hearty
applause.

woman's Intellectual Inreriority.

According to a recent writer, physd-
cally men have the indisputable Superi-
ority in strength and women in beauty.
lnteilectually. certain inferiorty OF
the female sex can hardly be denied
when we remember how almost eXclu-
siVely the foremost places in every
department of science. literature and
art, have been occupied by men, how in
nnfeSimally small Is the number of wo-
men who have shown in any field the
highest order of g'a:EuS, how many
of the greatest men have achieved their
greatness in defiance of the most adj
verse circumStonccS. and how complete
ly women have failed in obtaining the
iirSt position, even in music or painting
70: the cultivation of which their cir
cumstancc would appear most propi-
tious. Ii Is as impossible 10 find a
female Raphael or a female andel "a O.
female Shakespeare or Newton. Nor
ally, the general superiority of women
over men is. l think. unquestlonable
If we take the somewhat coarse and in
adequate criterion of police statistics
we find that while the male and female
populations are nearly the same in
number. the crimes committed by men
are usually rather more than five times
as numerous as those commit ted by
women. Self sacrifice is the most con-
spicuous element of virtuous and reli-
gious character. and IL Is certainly far
less common among men than among
women. whose whole lives are usually
spent in yielding TO the will and con-
sulting the pleasures of another. There
are two great departments of virtue
the impulsive. or that which springs
spontaneously from the emotions. and
the deliberativc, or that which Is per-
formed in obedience TO the Sen:e of
duty and III both uf these ] imagine
women are superior to men. Their SEN
sibility is greater; they are more chaste.
both in thought and act; more tender
to the erring, more compassionate to
the suffering, more affect!onate to all
about them.
