Botschoft's or Grub's Church No. 2

Frederick Wendt presented n
church record book to this congre-
CATION Jan. l, 1915 in which he re
corded in plain and legible hand,
the origin and early history of tn Q
congregation, the church and its
pastor. Many of the early members
were still living, who could tell him
of what was done from l776 to 1915
a period of 30 years. The first
church was built of logs, and the
openings between the logs, chunked
with blocks and daubed with mortar
as was the custom in those days
to build dwelling houses. This
church was about 30 by 35 feet. The
pulpit was on the north side with
steps for the preacher to ascend into
the Vine Stem, with sounding board
above, and only sufficient room for
one man to enter. There was Que
door on the west side, another on
the east side. There vas "a gallery
on three sides of the church, with
high, inconvenient, unpainted seats.
The seats below were occupied by
the older portion of the congrega
tion. They were badly shaped and
the audience below were obliged to
to look upwards to see the preacher.
In the year 1886 the old log church
was repaired, altered and improved
a. an expense of $685.. Material
was cheap and work was done by a
number of members without charge
which would add to the cost of the
repairs. The church was plastered
inside and outside, and also a cell
ing put into it. The outside was
rough covered or pebbled and white
washed which gave it changed ap
pearance. Rev. William German
was the Lutheran pastor at tina
time and Rev. Isaac Gearhart Re
formed. The church was given tn,
name OF Botschaft's church. Rev
German lived at Middleburg, Rev
Gearhart lived at Freeburg. Jacol
Reichenbach was the Lutheran ant

debt lt is 80 nominated in the bond,
ana more may not be asked
1t is conceded as a matter Of law that
such creditor Is bound by his contract
to accept payment in silver if the gov
ernment shall so elect.
Just here the creditor interposes the
plea OF equity and asks to be paid in
gold.
First Because while the debt was
being created the silver dollar was not
In circulation, although a legal coin.
and therefore he was induced to be-
lieve coin meant gold.
Second. Because the silver dollar is
not dollar but only 90 cents. and by
such payment he would lose 20 per
cent of his debt.
The answer is not difficult
First. While the debt was being con
tracted both silver and gold had disap-
peared from circulation. The creditor
was RENTED to the law which pre-
scriDed both silver and gold Much of
the debt in part represents only so
cents IN the dollar. IL was based not
on coin, but on paper money, then the
current money in value.
Second. The plea that the creditor
would only get so cents on the dollar
of his debt is without basis. The silver
dollar Is exchangeable for gold, and is
now its equivalent.
Dr. J. Lawrence, professor Of politi-
cal economy in Harvard University. q
gold standard advocate, and who has
written the most comprehensive and
exhaustive treatise on bimetallism ]
have seen, says his work that: The
highest justice is rendered by the state
when it exacts from the debtor at the
end of the contract the same purchas.
| ing power which the creditor gave tc
him at the beginning of the contract
no less no more.
Then, If the silver dollar was not ex.
changeable with the gold, measured b.
the rule above. laid down by Professor
Laughlin, it will not be denied that tn,
bullion in the silver dollar will pur
chase as much of the necessaries o.
life as the bullion in the gold dollal
would have done when the debts wer,
contracted
Discard silver; use gold only. Tn,
public debt would by that act be In
creased 20 to 30 per cent by the loss o
that quantity of silver coin in circula
tion. Labor and labor products hav
admittedly deprecated so per cent. Ou
public debt, now reduced numerically
one-half, under such conditions wouli
be potentially as large as before dol
lar was paid. Measuring as we mus
by our only means OF payment, labo
and its products. Gold is a decreasin
quantity, and with it as the sole meas
ure of value, each year we should fin
prices lower, gold higher, the prices 0
all commodities shrinking to meet it

The product of silver and gold in th
world from 1850 to 1888 is shown il

In the exhaustive debates in the two
lower Houses of Congress when the
Bland act was under discussion in 1878
the opposers of silver coinage prophe-
sled the evils that would follow such
course. In the light of eight years ex-
perience let us examine these predic-
tions
/. It was said cheap silver will drive
gold out of the country. In 1873 we
had in circulation in the United States
$500 1000 600 in gold; we now nave
S600,000,0 600 In that prediction II was
forgotten that there was such a thing
as balances in trade.
2. Cheap labor, it was urged, would
open an era of wild speculation, IN
which prices would reach paper money
standards: that the laborer's cheap dol
lar would buy but few OF the neces-
saries of life.
The silver dollar to-day has a larger
purchasing power than at any time in
the last half century.
3. II was said our national credit
would be impaired and government Sc
curities fall in price.
Government credit to-day is firmer,
and the price of her securities rela-
lively higher than ever before In our
tlNeiy nlBnet lheh WV DOAoAc III Jul
history; yet for eight years the mint
has been coming this demoralizing
standard dollar at the rate OF over S2,-
O00, 900 monthly.
We are met by the counter-predictiOn
of bimetallists in this debate that such
coinage would equalize the bullion
value of the gold and silver dollar
