JERRY SIMPSONS PLAN.
Would Issue Certificates Against the sil.
YER In the Mountains.

When the sockless statesman Of Kan
sas first visited New York city, lie went
with friend to the United States sub
treasury in Wall street. They were
shown through the vaults in which part
Of the governments money is stored
and finally reached a room i'll which
thousands of big bags Of silver dollars
were piled ceiling high. Looking at the
great heap Of useless metal, the Medicine
Lodge financier turned to the United
States subtreasurer and asked: "Why
could not silver certificates be issued
just as we'll on the silver in the hills? 1t
would save the country all the expense
Of mining the ore, smelling and refining
it and coming it into dollars. think it
is great waste Of labor to dig all that
silver out Of one hole and cut it up into
little pieces just to bring it here and
dump it down into another hole. -
Ridiculous as is the idea Of paper cur
rency based on silver in the rocks, it is
more sensible than the free coinage at
16 to plan. The silverites propose to
compel the government to coin into legal
tender dollars all the silver which may
be brought to the mints AS the country
has already far more silver dollars than
can be used in business, it would be nee
essary to issue certificates which would
pass as currency. So that the govern
ment would be practically buying all
the silver offered it at a price nearly
double its market value.
The silver mino owners and their
agents ridiculed Congressman Simpson, s
cheap money scheme. But wild as his
plan was it did not involve the rcpudia
tion of just debts CT the debasement of
the standard Of value, as did theirs.
Slverites who laugh at the notion Of
using the Rocky mountains as a basis
for currency are really condemnins
their own theory Sensible people who
believe in honest money want neither
certificates based Oh silver orc nor on pig
silver. Either would mean great an
nual loss through tho wasteful employ
ment Of labor which ought to be en-
gagged in producing useful articles.

"Old Founders" at Rutland.

During the past two years the Mont
pelier Argus and other democratic organs
in this State have had much to say regard
ing the attendance of few of the older
Republicans at the various gatherings OF the
Young Mems Republican club Of Vermont !;
but the chances are they will pass without
comment the presence of a number of ''old
FOUNDERS of their party at the initial meet
ing of the Young Democrats club at Rut-
land, in spite of the fact that on this oc-
casion some of the fathers of the party took
prominent part in the proceedings.
We can imagine the gusto with which the
boys department Of the Vermont democracy
welcomed such political youngsters as
Collector Bradley B. Smalley, United
States District Attorney John I'll. Senter of

than one delegate could be elected from
this county under n circumstances, and
hence a failure on the part of the Brattle-
boro delegates to icopardize the chances
of their own candidate by listening on the
eve Of the convention to the request of the
Rockingham delegates was not very repre-
hensible Moreover it is hardly fair to
call DR.. Holton the candidate of Brattle-
boro only. The doctor was born in Sax.
tons River and we are sure that the county
unites quite generally in congratulating
him on his election.
The discourtesy of the Brattleboro dele
gates in taking no notice of the telegram
is another matter; but there is bare pos
sibility that they considered the request of
the Rockingham delegates bit ill-timed
especially as compliance would mean the
defeat of man who was not supposed to
have an opponent in the county until the
day before the convention was to meet.

That BrattleborO Telegram.

At the eleventh hour a move was made
by the Rockingham delegates to the state
and district conventions at Montpelier to
have Bellows Falls candidate pushed for
ward for delegate to St. Louis. Monday
evening last telegram was sent to the
chairmen of the state and district delega-
tons from Brattleboro, no individual being
named. 1t read as follows:
In view of the fact that Rockingham has
not had in the past % years an elective, or
appointive, state office and that during this
time Brattleboro has had two governors,
one lieutenant governor, one tax commits
sioner, five aids-de-camp, two national
delegates at large, the united delegation
from Rockingham respectfully request and
urge your delegations to unite with us in
supporting Charles w. Osgood of Bellows
Falls as delegate at-large, or district dele
gate to the national convention to be held
in st. Louis next June. Signed
George H. Rabbit, Jr., chairman Rock
ingham state delegation.
l.. S. Hayes, chairman Rockingham dis
trict delegation.
we are tOlu ludt illlo was scht Nltu thC
unanimous concurrence of the ten delegates
who represented this town at Montpelier.
The Brattleboro brethren did not reply
to the telegram, in fact seem not to have
paid very much attention to it, with the re-
suit that there has been some talk among
the politicians to the effect that Brattleboro
wants the earth, and in its supreme selfish
ness is unwilling to favor the northern end
of the county with a fair division of the
spoils.
We think there is no occasion for much
excitement. This movement started alto
gether too late in the game. For more
than six months it had been known through
out the state that DIR. III. ID. Holton of
Brattleboro was the candidate from this
county for delegate-at-large. Not more

THE WOOL MARKET,

There is not much change in the wool
market. The daily demand is quiet and
small lots OILY are recorded. Buyers in
general are holding back, and the market
is heavily stocked. Fleece woods are
moving slowly, and show values gradu-
ally weakening. The movement in ter
ritory wool is quiet, with sales ruling al
low figures. Some little business is be-
ing done in Australian wool on the basis
of former prices.
