tracted sSS6 100. While some of these
changes. ordinarily, would not be i'm
portant, they are worthy OF attention at
present, as revealing lighter movement
OF currency TO this centre. The falling
off is probably not so much on account
Of the low rate of interest on balances, as
because Of a renewed demand for loans
in other quarters, and this OF itself is
rather important. The incident yerihes
the forecast made some time since In
this analysis-that the banks could not
look for relief through gold exports-and,
as further bond-loans were out OF the
question, domestic expansion In busi-
ness afforded the only measure OF profit.
Up 10 this time the commercial activity
has not been so marked but the changes
in the statement show that business Is
giving signs OF a revival. the extent OF

1t is said that MCGEE made the
remark to several while here that
it he was defeated, he "would have
to get out of this country, for it
was a mighty poor country for a
white man to live in any way.'
Wilson says he has no intention Of
leaving whether defeated or no t.
In our Judgment MCGEE with
such sentiments, will be allowed to
go, for certainly a majority Of the
voters of the circuit will not think
of %electing a man to the judgship,
who cares only enough for the
country to work the people for
ofice.-Hot Springs correspondent
in Oelrichs Times.
On behalf of Judge MCGEE THE
UNION wishes to state that the re-
mark attributed to him by the cor
respondent from Hot Spriogs is
wholly false. Judge MCGEE has
never made such a remark at Hot
Springs or elsewhere and the cor
respondent who quotes him as say
ing such a thing should take pains
to ascertain the truth. Every in
terest Judge MCGEE has is in the
Hills and he has never at any time
expressed any intention of leaving
this section. Let the friends of
the republican candidate adhere to
the truth and McGee, THE UNION
nor anyone else will kick on the
choice of the people for circuit
judge.

subject to the law of supply and
demand, but that gold is too sa-
cred a thing to be affected by that
law?
If silver can go down, what argu-
ment is there to prove that gold
cannot go up? If doth metals are
affected by the same law, why
should the claim be made that gold
alone is stable? Honest men ad,
NIT that gold has appreciated at
least one fourth of a cent a month
every month since the declaration
of the republican party was made
at st. Louis. Under such Condi-
tons the people can see how much
honesty there was in the assurance
that the "present gold standard
should be maintained"
Honest money does not increase
in value at the rate Of one-fourth Of
a cent amonth. A stable currency
does not increase in value. With
bimetalism honesty and stability
are assured; with gold alone both
requirements are lacking.

to elect a railroad attorney as cir
cult judge? Think the matter over

course to pursue vote for S. E.

Hot Springs.
