A ma evidently from some little
township OF settlement out OF touch
with the times, stopped into one OF the
big stores down town the other day and
made some trifing purchases. When
he came to pay for them he pulled out
a curious looking pocket book, which
appeared to be nothing more than two
strong cards apparently bound together
at the long edge, opened it from one
side, disclosing some notes securely
held under two bands of tape, and
then shutting 1t again, opened it from
the other side and showed the notes
free. he selected one-a note about
five inches long and a little more than
a couple of inches wide-and rendered

wishes and who had taken in the old
pocket book and the rather "queer''
looking money with a hasty glance.

A moment later light dawned upon
the girl. She called another employe
OF the store, and as he happened to be
more mature years and distinctly re-
membered the time when old fractional
paper currency was in vogue be quickly
saw the old mans position. Whether
he took the money and paid for the
goods out OF his own pocket or whether
the firm received the old time notes is
not known, but the old man got his
purchase. Before he left, however, he
was advised to go to the treasury and

The Gold Craze.

The disciples of the House of Roths-
child are much given to the expressions
"silver craze" "greenback craze" and
their "craze" is the gold craze. This is
truly a craze and of comparatively recent
date, only about % years since it made its
appearance i'll this country. The "gold
craze" has apparently reached the acute
stage and threatens with insanity its
victims. They have reached the reckless
condition of the disease and deny all his
torical facts, ignore logical sequences and
reiterate their vagaries and idiosyncrasies,
forgetting today apparently and contra
dieting what they proclaimed as true
yesterday. The gold craze of the present
day was only equaled by the tulip craze
of Holland, the South sea bubble and the
the morus multicolus craze of fifty or
sixty years ago.
We behold apparently sensible men
carried away by the gold craze. There

fuddled the brain of man than the gold

when they are making the most wild and
incomprehensible claims for gold and its
natural characteristics, not one of. which
it possesses, and yet Its blended victims
seem to believe in all seriousness they are
talking sense when all the time it is the
widest nonsense. And this is the virulent
type of the gold craze.
You may see dozens of its victims any
day wasted to skin and bones financially
speaking), who few years ago were fat
and hearty (again financially speaking
They still have the gold craze, but their
ideas have become so mixed and confused
that it is impossible to comprehend what
they think and are driving at when they
talk of "sound money" "gold Standard"
money of the world" and use number
of other similar senseless phrases. Poor
fellows The epidemic will run its course
after awhile and disappear, but like all
other scourges of the human race it will
carry off tens of thousands to paupers'
graves before it disappears.
The disease was introduced into this
country by LondonJews through an agent,
one John Sherman, who placed the virus
in mint pill and from that small begin
ming it has spread all over the land infect
ing rich and poor. Its effects are quite
different on the two types. The rich
grow fat, slick, naughty, overbearing and
hoggish, while the poor shrivel up, grow
lean and lank, hungry and either doeile
or vicious, but there seems to be no per-
ceptible mental difference in the two
classes. One talks as silly as the other
when the disease has them in its grasp,
The gold craze is remarkable craze.
Its victims think everybody crazy but
themselves.

There are two Democratic parties before
the country, each claiming to be the
simon pure and appealing to the voters
who have in the past claimed their politi-
cal allegiance to the doctrines of the
Democrat party" That political church
suffered scism at Chicago last year, and
the protesting element assembled at In
dianapolis and issued confession of faith
or platform and nominated a ticket on
that platform.
There is no telling which church the
party i'll a State adheres to except by
declaration of national party principles.
This has been done this year in every
State where elections are to be held but
Maryland, and of all States in the Union
it is most essential that the party in
Maryland should do so, because only one
month before the Chicago platform was
promulgated, the Democracy of Maryland
under the lead and direction of Mr.. Cor
man declared their adherence to, and
faith i'll, the gold standard in identical
terms with the indianapolis division of
the national party. The only authori-
tative declaration of the party in Mary
land was made in June, 1896, which was
substantially on the same lines laid down
later by the indianapolis convention pro-
testing division of the national party
The people ask to which party does the
German organization of this year belong,
and they are insulted by the ingenious
straddle above quoted. The declaration
of the German policy as the policy of the
party as put forth in June 1896, has never
been substituted by revision Or repeal in
this State by the party, and German can
and will claim, if sent to the Senate for
another term, that the indianapolis policy
is the policy of the Maryland Democracy
and not the Chicago principles.

Wheat and Silver.

The goldbugs are driven by the logic
of events to attempt to overthrow the
arguments of the silver men that wheat
and silver have fallen together as meas
ured by gold. A compilation from the
weekly prices current from 1873, when
the mints of the United States were closed
against free coinage, to 1896, shows the
following:
From 1873 to 1883 silver fell IS $40
cents per ounce, and wheat fell IS $40
cents per bushel.
From 1883 to 1898 silver fell 80 cents
cents per ounce, and wheat fell 81 $40
cents per bushe1.
From 1893 to 1896 silver fell 9 $40
cents per ounce, and wheat fell "a 4-1o
cents per bushe1. And during the whole
g years from, 1873 to 1896, silver fell
81 Clio cents per ounce and wheat fell
IS 6-1o cents per bushel.
The wheat famine in India and parts of
Europe has made natural conditions
which has forced wheat up abnormally
in price above most other things, only to
fall back and resume its old place beside
silver when present famine conditions are
removed. After the fall in the price OF
wheat takes place, which in all human
probability will occur when the present
crop is disposed OF, wheat will assume its
old position beside silver.
If the minis were opened to free coinage
wheat would range about $I.25 bushel;
with closed minis it will drop again to
about so cents or below that. 1t is i'll the
power of the farmers to choose between
$1.25 for wheat and so cents.
The "pretty part" of these 20 years
history of wheat and silver is, that the
price of wheat did not change-fall-in
silver money countries, but rather tended
to rise, while it steadily fell in gold STAN
dard countries. which is to say the pre-
MUM on gold steadily rose, on account
of its scarcity as compared with things it
had to buy or be exchanged for.
At Bombay wheat was higher in 1898
than in 1873, while at Liverpool wheat
was about half as high in 'e5 as in '73,
and Liverpool and London control the
American price of both wheat and silver,
and will continue to do so while we are
subject to their gold standard.
