vantages over others?" The owners of
silver bullion in this country are very
few indeed.
Again Mr.. Bryan says: mo just gov
eminent ought to enable or permit one
citizen TO injure another citizen"
True. But would not the govern
ment do this If 1t enabled one class of
citizens, the debtors, to discharge their
obligations to another class, the cred
itors, in dollars worth only half as
much as were the dollars loaned? If
the government were to make wampum
or conch shells legal tender for the pay
ment of debt, would it not enable one
class of citizens to injure another class ?
And would it not do the same in depre-
ciating the currency of the country to
50-cent basis?

The Only Good Paper Currency.

All propositions for the retirement of
the legal tenders and the abolition of
the treasury reserve as o feature OF our
currency system are coupled with the
demand for a banking system that
would afford large note circulation,
one more responsive to the fuctuating
demands of business and one whose re-
serve would be maintained by banks
which would be compelled by the con-
ditions of their existence and by law
to protect their notes, and which,
through their discount business, have
the necessary machinery for increas-
ing their reserves or decreasing their
liabilities. Such q banking system
would provide the paper currency
which the American people would
rather handle in their daily transac-
lions and carry about as pocket money
than specie.-Iron Age.

The Plague In India.

The plague now raging in some por-
tions of India is thought by many ply
sicians to be identical with the black
death" which devastated Europe and
Asia in 1347, and at subsequent periods.
Ancient writers give graphic descrip-
tons of the frightful virulence of this
strange malady, its course in Italy be-
ing wildly described by Boccaccio and
Petrarch. In Venice more than 1OO,-
600 people died of the disease. and in
Cyprus nearly the whole population
was destroyed, while in Genoa six
seventies of the inhabitants succumbed
to it's fearful ravages. At Sienna the
erection of the cathedral was stopped
by the plague, and it has never since
been resumed. From Italy the scourge
made it's way into France, England,
Germany and Spain, and is said to have
been carried into Scandinavia by ship
which left London in the summer OF
1349. The whole of the crew died OF the
plague, and the vessel, after drifting
about on the ocean for q long time, was
cast ashore with it's grewsome burden
at Bergen, and the infection soon spread
all over Norway and Sweden In fact,
scarcely portion of the known world
ESCAPED the disease, even entire COL
ouies up in Greenland being obliter-
ated, and whole tribes of Esquimaux
were destroyed.-Chicago Tribune

The Sound Money Propaganda.

The decision of the silver men to con-
tinue their fight for the 50-cent dollar,
despite the emphatic verdict of the peo-
pie in November, is appropriately fol-
lowed by the organization in New York
of a sound money league, which is to be
national in its character and in the
scope of its work. From this time on
till the next presidential election the
dissemination of money facts and cor
rect views as to money is to be contin-
ued.
The most efficient agency of the last
campaign was the sound currency COM
mitiee of the New York Reform club,
and it's publications, each given to some
one phase of the currency question,
were invaluable to speakers and writ
ers. A sound basis for currency reform
was thus laid in the minds of thousands
who were cropping after the truth.
These publications, it is stated, are to
continue. An effort is to be made to
widen the field of operations by a class
of writings of a more popular character.
In the south and west particularly hon
est thinkers are to be supplied with ma
terial for progressive thought toward
sound conclusions on the money ques-
ton.
Much was done in six months of 1905
to uproot the erroneous ideas planted
in five years of populist agitation. Err
rors had fourished simply because they
had not been confronted with fact.
Now monetary truth is to be RS sys-
tematically inculcated as fallacy was,
and the result cannot but be most
wholesome.-Baltimo Sun.

EXCLUSIVE OF BANKS OWN NOTES

These diagrams show that in Scot
land there is about 20 per cent. more of
currency in circulation in November
than In February. In Canada there is
20 per cent. more currency in circula-
ton in October than in May. In the
United States there was only six per
cent. change in circulation during the
two years 1894 and 1895, and the most of
this change is accounted for not by the
changing needs for currency at differ
ent periods of the year, but by the sales
Of United States bonds, which made it
convenient for banks to increase their
circulation. Mr.. Root thus explains
the changes in Canada and Scotland:
"For instance, on comparing the cir
culation of Canada and Scotland, the
first thing noticed Is that in Scotland

Bryan,s Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? It is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn a whole lot about silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them to know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no
ticeable that in the states where the
question was most discussed the ma
jorities against Bryan were heavy or
his majorities were unexpectedly
small.
If the silyerites will think Of the
great amount of work done in the
states west of Pennsylvania, east of Col
orado and north of Tennessee and re-
fleet upon the result of the election,
they will, If they are wise and want to
win in 1900, conclude to drop educa-
tional work and to proceed on some less
dangerous line. If Bryan and his
friends would stop talking about sill
yer for three years, it would be difficult
for the "goldbugs" to get people to lis
ten to their convincing arguments.
If our hard times should unfortunately
continue, Bryan might step out few
days before the 1900 election and say:
81 told you So" and q majority OF the
voters, without having given tho mat
ter much thought, might conclude that
perhaps the "crime of 1873" was I've
sponsible for the lack Of prosperity
But if they study the question for fouI
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often
brought hard times. The wage earn
ers will understand that sixteen to one
is an underhanded scheme to lower
wages and the farmers that they can
not, by juggling with cheap money, get
any advantage of the rest of the world
in the matter of prices of farm prod
ucts.
This educational work must be
stopped short, or the cause of free sill
yer is lost.

CURRENCY ELASTICITY.
Our System Inferior to Those OF
Scotland and Canada
Need for More Money to Move Crops
Is mt Once Supplied in other
Countries, But Not
in This.

Secretary of the Treasury Window
said in his treasury report for 1890:
I'm my Judgment the gravest defect
in our present financial system is its
lack Of elasticity. " The demand
formoney, in thiscountry, is so irregular
that an amount of circulation which
will be ample during ten months of the
year will frequently prove SO deficient
during the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster.
The crops of the country have reached
proportions so immense that their move
ment to market, in August and Septem-
Der, annually causes a dangerous alb
sorption of money. The lack of suffi-
icient supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
well as upon other business interests"
How hard and inolastic is our present
unscientific currency system, or lack of
system, is apparent when a comparison
is made with the currency systems of
other countries. In pamphlet recently
issued by the sound currency commit
tee of the Reform club Mr.. L. Carroll
Root illustrates the relative elasticity
of 20 different banking systems in 16
different countries. He says:
"The data secured include weekly or
monthly statements of the outstanding
circulation of the leading bank cur
rency systems of the world. The period
covered In each case is the two years
1894 and 1895. The method of prepara-
ton of diagrams has been to take the
minimum circulation of the period as
base line and TO reduce the amounts on
other dates to percentages of this. In
this way common measure has been
secured, and comparison Of one dia-
gram with another is facilitated"
We reproduce below three of Mr..
Roots diagrams which show in strik-
ing way the great difference in elastici-
ty of currencies in Scotland, Canada and
the United States.

MRS. FORBES DYING.
A Distant Relative of the Free Silver
Champion.

Kokomo, Ind, March 19.-Mrs. Mary
Forbes Cobb, step-great-grandmother
of William Jennings Bryan, late can
didate for president, is lying at the
point of death at her home in New
LonOdn, ten miles west of here, aged
"a years, her demise being hourly ex-
pected. Mary Forbes Gano was born
at Frankfort, KY, January IL, 1903.
At Winchester, KY, in 1920, she was
married to Louis H. Bryan, great
grandfather of William Jennings
Bryan, she being his second wife.
Twelve years after the death of her
husband Mrs. Bryan married Elisha
Cobb, the latter dying in 1874. Her
father, John GanO, was chaplain with
Gen. WashingtOn's archers during the
revolutionary war, and her first huS-
band, Louis II. Bryan, was in the war
of 1912. Her Kentucky home was near
the residence of Henry Clay. In the
late civil war the Bryan home was de-
vastated by the repeated incurSions of
both contending armies, and several
times during that period the old lady
made the trip to Indiana in a covered
wagon to avoid the unpleaSantnesS
and hardships. Mrs. Cobb, who up
to a few weeks ago retained her
health and faculties to a remarkable
degree, smoked her pipe for seventy
five years. She is a devout member
of the old-schooled Baptist church.
She is the owner of an interesting col
lection of revolutionary relics. Since
1914 the venerable old lady has made
her home with her daughter, Mrs.
Moses McDaniels, of this county.
