Dickens Personal Side.

Stephen Fisk, who probably knew
Dickens as intimately as did any
American, has been induced to
write of The Personal Side OF
Dickens" for the September Ladies
Home Journal. Mr.. F'iske often
spent seasons with the famous nove-
list at Gad's Hill, and his article
will describe the incidents of these
visits, Dicken S home life, bis meth
cd of working, and his pastimes. 1t
will possibly surprise Dickens
friends to learn, through Mr.. Fiske,
that q considerable portion OF his
library was made UP OF dummy
books, which, however, offered the
author q target for some of his de-
lightful satire in giving them titles,
and afforded his guests great a.
musement.

Currency Facts.

The republican party has declared
tor sound money and an honest dol
lar, The democratic party has de-
,clared for a dishonest dollar-the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
IL to /. and expects to catch the
votes of the ignorant and uniform
ed upon the currency question. 1t
IS simply the Butler greenback fall
lacy in another guise. 1t behooves
the workingman to carefully study
the question; SO that he may intelli-
gently cast his ballot on election
day. Following are a few questions
aud answers pertinent to the matter
at issue, printed recently by the
Chicago Times Herald. They are
plain enough for all TO comprehend,
and are well worth remembering:
q. What is the whole body of
currency OF the United States today?
\. Paper, $40. 900 600: silver,
s6l1,O00. .0GO; gold SGl2,O00. 900.
g. What is the existing money
standard Of the country?
\. Gold, by means of which all
the silver and all the paper are
worth 100 cents to the dollar.
q, What would be the effect if
we should abandon the existing gold
standard?
\, All the gold would leave the
country, in accordance with the
never questioned law that a superior
money will not remain in country
where an inferior money is the stan
dard, Silyerites admit that gold is
IL times more valuable than silver
That is what the ratio Of l6 to l "
means. In truth, today gold is 32
times more valuable than silver.
Z. What amount of money would
thus be withdrawn from the country
if the silver standard should be sub
stituted for the gold standard?
Six hundred and twelve million
dollars, contracting the currency to
that amount and crippling the coun-
try accordingly.
q. If the silver standard were
substituted for the existing gold
standard. what would be the effect
on the $610, 900, 900 Of silver worth
100 cents to the dollar2
A. The entire quantity of silver
dollars would be worth their weight
in silver per ounce, which varies
from week to week like the price of
wheat, and the immediate effect
would be to reduce the 500, 900, 900
to S305, 600, 600, the present value of
silver per ounce in the coins, thus
contracting the currency of the
country to this additional amount,
making a total contraction of S9l7, :
600. 900.
q. What would be the effect on
the paper in our currency if we
should substitute the silver standard
for the existing gold standard?
4. The Sl15. 900. 600 of paper to.
day worth 100 cents to the dollar on
the existing gold standard, would at
once decline to 30 cents on the dollar
on the silver standard, based on the
price Of silver today, the immediate
effect being to reduce the value of
the paper now in the currency to
S231 800. .e8D
9. BY abandoning the existing
gold standard for the silver stand
ard, what then would be the first
net result2
4. The loss 70 the country of
81 l54. 800, 600, every dollar OF which
is now worth 100 cents by reason Of
the existing gold standard.
Q. What Go you dcducc from
this?
\. That we need all the money
dollar to be worth 100 cents.
q. How can we keep all the mon
ey we have, and keep every dollar
worth 100 cents?
a. BY preserving the existing
gold standard.

'AUGUsT BACHAN, ESQ,
L'ANsE. MICH

DEAR SIR-Mr. a. Caisse desires
me to write you explaining the
reasons why the body OF his son was
not sent to L'Anse, as he wired you
il would be- The undertaken told
him there would be no difficulty
about shipping the body and upon
the strength of such statement he
wired YOU. 1t was expected to
leave here over the South Shore
road at 4:l5 Thursday. On go
ing to the railroad office the officials
refused TO accept the body because
of the disease (typhoid fever) OF
which he died. Caisse then wired
YOU of that fact. Arrangements
were then made to have the funeral
here. On Friday morning about
2 o'clock the draperies about the
room in which the body lay, caught
fire, and in putting out the fire
Caisse was quite badly burned about
the face and left arm. The body
was not burned, neither the house,
but it was u narrow escape. Caisse
is doing nicely, and is able TO be
about, but it will be some little
time before he is able to work. The
funeral here was well attended. He
regrets the sad occurrence more
than anything which ever happened
to him before. Yours Truly,
