But the doctor had always considered
himself an American, and sought his
fortunes here when a youth. He went
south at the close Of TIT civil war and
accepted an appointment under General
y. o. Howard. Subsequently he took
up his residence at Paoia, Fla, bought
property there, became postmaster OF
the town and held several other offices.
Afterwards he removed TO New York
The state department wrote back, say
ing that as the applicant had been born
in Canada. and as there was nothing 10
slow that ne had been naturalized, a
passport could not be given him. The
doctor was astonished. He FASTENED to
his friend, Mr.. Halves. and sought ad-
vice. Mr.. Halves thought the credentials
could be obtained from Washington in
course of time. But as Sine was short
and a passpor. necessary. he suggested
a passport from the British consulate.

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs to our financial system, but for a
new system. No government paper can
be free from objection because its vol
ume and redeemability will depend in
part upon the opinions of congress and
in part upon the opinions of the pres
ident. No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. If
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain a sufficient reserve
for the redemption of the notes. If the
weight of pound and the length of a
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be so dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit of value
This explains why so many of the men
who do the business of the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also in
the south and west, demand the with

The American Agriculturist of April
a again discusses editorially the entire
feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers. /" ''This can be done, =
it says, "by slight notifications Of the
system of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved so remarkably
successful in American cities. These in
stitutions now hold over $500, 00O,0
of deposits and are thoroughly demon
strated practical success. The Saxon
Land Credit association Ga report upon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary of state, Washington is a
modification Of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia aud Germany has
achieved the same success among the
working farmers of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
our American cities. The peoples banks
of Italy and neighboring countries, based
upon much the same plan, have had
marvellous success. A report giving fur
ther particulars upon the Saxon Land
Credit association has been published
by the department of state for free dis
tribution, in which Consular Agent Pc
tiers says with truth that can never be
Questioned
What American farmers require to relieve
them OF the present financial strain under
which they are living is the power TO borrow
at the lowest possible interest consistent with
their securities and the financial conditions III
the great centers of the world. So long as they
must borrow from the local money lender they
must pay high rate Of interest for accommo
dation. 1t is this high rate of interest under
which our farmers are now striving and fall
ing that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction. Remove the high rate Of
interest, give them tho same opportunity to
use their credit as men engaged in other bust
ness, exchange the present mortgage on the
farm for one with reasonable interest, which
the farmer can pay and have something left
for the savings bank, and we will restore hap
piness and prosperity.
This question has been solved by the farmers
and landholders Of Europe, and the solution
of the problem did not consist in the issue by
the government of a mass of debased currency
circulated among the people at a fictitious
value. The end was reached by the farmers
and landholders by their own force and co
operation, by the founding of associations
which in time became power in the land and
whose financial strength was measured by mil
lions of undoubted securities which the public
was only too glad to invest in.

Goyernment Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through term of years, and
why it is inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security for it is a deposit of
government bonds. The bank capital is
in the treasury instead of in business
Tho profits ON circulIsion decline as the
bonds increase in vi,GGe or the rate of
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and ineffective. The
and the deficiencies Of the bank curren-
cy are now pretty well recognized. and
every day shows increased earnestness
in the demands of business men for a
complete and permanent cure. Iron

EVOLUTION OF MONEY.

stance to Another.

Unwarranted Government Interference
Prevents Easy Transition From One Sub
stance to Another.
Money is simply commodity that is
generally recognized as universal
equivalent, and its degree of goodness
or efficiency consists in the unanimity of
the recognition of the fitness of the com
modify used as money to perform the
essential functions Of money. Many
commodities have been used as money,
and they have remained III use as long
as they met the essential requirements
of money among the people where used,
or until some other commodity appear
ed the fitness Of which commended it.
self to the intelligence as being superior
to the commodity then being used.
AS people have advanced in discrim-
mating intelligence they have discard
ed inferior commodities and adopted in
place thereof something that was supe-
rior. These changes kept taking place
until finally gold and silver became the
commodities that We're recognized by
the people of most countries as being
the best for use as money. Sociological
transition is constant Change is the
natural order of things, and changes
come about naturally and are therefore
effected easily, if the natural process is
allowed to go ON undisturbed. Trou.
blous friction ensues only when there is
obstructive governmental interference
to delay or defeat the natural order of
things.
In our own day the stageeoach has
been supplanted by the steam railroad,
and stagecoaches have practically be-
come thing of the past. The tallow
dip was succeeded by lamps1illed with
burning fluid or oil, and lamps by illu-
minating gas, and gas by electricity
These and many other changes We're ac-
complished with no serious disturbance
whatever, and so it would be with COM
modities used as money in the absence
of governmental obstruction. There
would be no threatening money ques-
tion in this country today, endangering
the continuity and perpetuity Of all
business activity, if the United States
was rot engaged in the banking bust
ness.
Among civilized people the days of
usefulness of silver as money, except in
subsidiary forms, are numbered, and
silver is going out Of use as surely as
have the stagecoach and the tallow dip,
and for exactly the same reason-c civil
lization has outgrown the conditions
which necessitated its use. No money
has ever come into use at the behpst of
government or because of statutory en-
actments, but solely because of reGog-
nized ability to perform the functions
of money. Austin W. Wright in Sound

"We cannot afford to advertise our
anxiety for the free coinage of silver
any more" the Philadelphia North
American (Rep.) declares. unless
some of the nations want free coin
age at our ratio or thereabout, it is idle
as well as humiliating TO be Emporium

for our silver. For that is the kernel Of
this nut. aud but for the desire for q

Now that Japan is on the brink Of
replacing her currency ON the exclusive
gold basis, we presume that we shall
no longer be worried with fearful vi
sions of her growing industrial suprem-
acy. which was alleged to be due to the
silver standard. 1t was affirmed that
whatever goods Japan sold in this coun-
try, being paid for in gold, practically
doubled the sellers income when the
proceeds were converted into silver.
And this tremendous advantage the Jap
snese now relinquish.

How to Cure Yourself While
Using 1t.

The tobacco habit grows on man UNI
til his nervous system Is seriously affect

his system continually Graves. "Baco-
Curop is scientific cure for the tobac-
co habit, in all its forms, carefully COM
pounded after the formula of an emf
nent Berlin physician who has used it in
his private practice since 1879, without a
failure. 1t is purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use

o'clock, the horse attached to buggy
containing Mr.. w. ID. Fowler, son OF Mr.
c. L. Fowler. Commissioner OF Revenue.
and Miss Sallie Durrett, became frighten-
ed al some object and started in a run
towards Main street. Although Mr.
Fowler Is an active and muscular young
man. he could not check the frightened
animal and upon reaching the foot OF
the hill the buggy upset, spilling the oc-
cupants out upon the ground Miss Dur
rett received quite a bad cut under the
chin and several scratches about the
face. while Mr. Fowler had his right
ankle badly sprained. besides receiving a
number of slight bruises. Miss Durrett
was removed 10 a drugstore near by.
and her wounds attended 10 by DR.. l..
Il. sFlanagan. She was removed later
90 her home. The runaway created con-
siderable excitement. and the wonder is
how both escaped without serious injury.

was badly broken up.
