(Tnm WatSOn'S Paper.l

saEe of an Act March 2, 1928.
(Tom Watson's Paper.)
On January 2, 1713, a petition was
presented to the house of assembly OF
Pennsylvania from a number OF mer-
chants and others setting forth that
they were sensibly aggrieved in their
estates and dealings to the great loss
and growing ruin of themselves, and
the evident decay of the province in
general for want of a medium to buy
and sell with" The petition was re-
ferred to the committee on grievances,
who reported that it contains matters
of fact, and what they believed to be
true and worthy of weighty considera-
ton" and it was referred to the house.
On the 9Th Of January, 1923, the house
resolved that it was necessary that
quantity of paper money founded on
a good scheme should be struck and
imprinted
Several interchanges of opinion took
place between the assembly and the
governor, resulting in the passage, March
2, 1923, of an act authorizing the issue of
G15,OOO in bills of credit-paper money.
These bills of credit were to be loaned
on land security at 5 per cent interest;
they were made legal tender in pay
ments of all kinds.
The benefits which this paper money
brought to the province were so great
and so Immediately was the benefit
felt that in March, 1923, new issue
of 100000 was made.
In March, 1925, an act was passed for
reloaning the currency as it came back
into the hands of the colony and to re-
place such as had become worn, torn or
defaced, a further issue of 10000 was
ordered.
In October, 1925, a letter was received
from the British Lords of Trade in
England, dated May II, 1927, in refer
ence to the two money acts of 1923.
This letter set forth the evil conse-
quences that resulted from issuing bills
of credit-paper money and stating
that "naught restrained them from
laying these bills before his Majesty to
be repealed, save tenderness alone to
innocent holders in whose hands they
might be; and if any further acts were
passed creating bills OF credit in addi-
tion to those already issued, means
would be taken to have them disallow-
ed;" and concluded their letter by re-
questing that the funds appropriated
for the payment of these bills be duly
issued by Pennsylvania and which had
been of great benefit to this province, -
should at once be retired and cancelled.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 23-W. D.
Bynum, chairman of the national Demo-
cratic committee, today issued the follow
ing address:

mittee, New York, Nov. %.
To the National Democracy:
The results of the recent elections were
In no wise discouraging to the success of
the principles for which the national Dem
ocratic party has been battling. The sill

5ority of only 123, with $4,000 electors, a
majority of whom were unQuestionably
FOR sound money, not voting.
1.-THE national Democratic vote of the
state was twice as large as it was last
year, while the loss in the free silver vote
was 10000.
I'm Iowa the Democratic sound money
vote was doubled, notwithstanding the sill
yer candidates abandoned that issue and
pleaded for support on state matters The
sound money vote in both Kentucky and
Iowa would undoubtedly have been much
larger, had 1t not been for the fact that
the names of all the local candidates tor
county offices appeared on the ballots un-
der the free silver state tickets and en-
blems, thereby compelling sound money
electors to scratch their tickets or vote
the free silver state ticket, in order TO
vote for local officers.
In Massachusetts our vote was increased
25 per cent while that of the free silver
candidate was reduced in the same ratio.
In Nebraska the free silver majority
was reduced, while South Dakota deserted
the cause.
THE efforts of the national Democratic
organization last year were to aid in saw

to preserve the true principles of Dem
ocracy, until Judgment and reason shall
again dominate the councils of the party

platform.
''Then, and not until then. will the work
of the national Democratic party be ac-
complished and its organization cease to

A HORSE TRADE.

A few days ago Rev. Mr.. Tillman, of
Marshalltown, came to Salem and call
ed on Squire Smith and asked for q
summons for David Ecret, Of Penus-
vile. Tillman claimed that he had
traded horses with Eeret and that Ec-
ret had cheated him out of the amount
of $25. The Squire issued the legal
document and on Saturday the parties
appeared for trial. The testimony
went to show that the trade was enter
ed into ut the solicitation of Tillman
and that the condition of it was thor.
oughly understood by both parties. But
it seems that Tlllman got the worst
horse of the two-if possible. Charles
Cesar was put on the stand as a witness
to rrove that Tillman had no right to
trade the horse away, as he, Cesar, had
sold the animal to Tillman condition
ally. His testimony, however, was not
legally corroborated. The case was
heard before a six man jury, who, after
celebrating over the stubborn facts for
some three hours, returned q verdict Of
SIS damages for Charles Cesar. Mr..
Ecret refused to settle on these terms,
saying that he "didn't know Cesar In
the transaction at ALL" Messrs. Ecret,
Tillman aud Cesar finally got together
| outside OF the court and settled the
case mutually. They each agreed to
| pay a portion Of the costs and exchang.
| ed horses again.-Standard.
