THE GOLD DOLLAR
The Dishonest Creation of Ignorance
and Avarice.

and Avarice.
William Jennings Bryan in the July Arena.
We hear much about "stable cur
rency" and an "honest dollar" 1t is a
significant fact that those who advocate
a single gold standard have for the most
part avoided discussion of the effect of
an app eciatiDg standard. They take it
for granted that gold standard is not
only an honest standard, but stable
standard. | denounce that child of ignO-
rance and avarice, the gold dollar under
universal gold standard as the most
dishonest dollar which Ne could em-
ploy.
| stand upon the authority of every
intelligent writer upon political economy
when | assert that there is not, and
never has been, an honest dollar. An
honest dollar is dollar absolutely stable
in relation to all other things. Laugh
lin, in his work on "Bimetallism, "
says:
"Monometalists do not--as it is often
said-believe that gold remains absolute
ly stable in value. They hold that there
is no such thing as a standard of value
for future payments in either gold or sill
yer which remains absolutely invari.
able"
He even suggests multiple standard
tor long. time contracts. | quote his
words:
"As regards national debts, it is dis
tinctly ayerred that neither gold nor
silver forms Just measure of deferred
payments, and that if justice in long
contracts is sought for, we should not
seek it by the doubtful and untried ex-
pedient OF international bimetallism, but
by the clear and certain method of a
multiple standard, a unit based upon
the selling prices of number OF articles
of general consumption. A long time
contract would thereby be paid at its
maturity by the same purchasing power
as was given in the beginning"
Jevons, one Of the most generally ac-
cepted of the writers in favor of a gold
standard, admits the instability of sin
gle standard, and in language very SINH
lar to that above quoted suggests the
multiple standard as the most equitable,
if practicable. Chevalier, who wrote a
book in 1868 to show the justice of al
lowing debtor to pay his debts in a
cheap gold dollar, recognized the fact,
and said
"lf the value of the metal declined, i,
the creditor would suffer loss upon the
quantity he had received; II, on the con.
trary, it rose, the debtor would have to
pay more than he calculated upon"
am on sound and scientific ground,
therefore, when | say that dollar APP
proaches honesty as its purchasing
power approaches stability. II l borrow

This year is not last as Mark Hanna
& Co. will find. To be out of power is to
be away from responsibility, and to be
in power is to be compelled to carry
responsibility. This year Republicans
are in power. Democrats are relieved
from the Cleveland load this year and
are in good heart and cheer, while the
Republicans, rank and file, are sadly
disappointed and out of heart. So we
say this year is not last, and our oppo-
nents will find it out

The increase in protective taxation on
cigars is placed at Sl50,0O0 year, and
on wrappers, the raw material for cigars,
it is about eight times as much. This is
done because the people who want the
raw material of the country's great
tobacco manufacturing interest thus
taxed say that unless they get their full
share of spoils the Republican party will
not be allowed to keep the vote of Con-
necticut.
And so the scheme is understood;

PARTY LINE"
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE SERVICE.

The CENTRAL UNION TELEPHONE COMPANY
has successfully devised apparatus by means
OF which without in the least impairing
the efficiency Of transmission) two or more
snbscribers' stations may be operated upon
tho same line or circuit, and be enabled to
signal the central Office, without disturbing
each other. This Improvement relieves par
ty-line" service OF its principal annoyance
and makes IL popular with very large class
of telephone users.
In Offering this class Of service for either
grounded or metallic circuits, the Company
aims TO bring that which is OF the highest
grade within the satisfactory reach OF those
whose requirements for telephone service are
but limited, and TO make its cost 20 them ma.
terially less than the regular rates charged
for independent-line service.
The Company refers with perfect conf,
dence TO those Of Its present subscribers who
arc using "party-line" service with this
improved apparatus
The rates for this service will be quoted

THE "MODERATIUN" OF THE PRO
POSED TARIFF.

at was, believe, thoroughly under
stood throughout the country in the last
political campaign that, if the Republi.
can party should be again intrusted
with power, no extreme tariff legislation
would follow. 1t was believed that in
the changed conditions Of the country a
return to the duties imposed by the act
of 1890 would not be necessary even
from protective standpoint.
Nothing could be more conducive to
tie return and maintenance of real pros
perity in this country than the we'll
grounded belief that there were to be no
violent changes in our revenue policy
for some years to come. ."-Speech Of
Hon. Nelson w. Aldrich, in senate,
May %, 1897.
Bearing in mind that Senator Aldrich,
the leader of the protectionsts in the
senate, said (as quoted above) that no
return to the extreme rates of the Nc
Kinley bill was contemplated or desired
by the protectionists, it is somewhat
surprising to find that the Dingley bill
and senate amendments contain Ia
classes Of articles on which the duties are
higher than in the Mckinley bill of 1890.
Among these are camphor, paints, plas'
ter of paris, asphalt, many kinds of plate
glass, scissors, railroad ties, shingles,
clapboards, maple sugar, oranges, lemons,
pine apples, currants, olives, chocolate
and Cocoa, hemp, carpets, coal, leather,
hides.
Remember that the title and purpose
of the Mckinley bill was that Of an act
to reduce revenue, and that this was to
be done by increasing duties.

she returned, dressed herself in her
daughters clothes and waited for the
lover at the window. Promptly at the
moment appointed Whitley came to
steal away his lady love, and the widow
answered the summons. He assisted
her into the buggy and drove with her to
Grayson, the county seat of Carter coun-
tS, where he had arranged with Judge
Morris to perform the ceremony.
Whitley was surprised at the silence
of his companion, but as he had never
eloped before he thought it might be the
proper behavior. So he held the sob
bing figure in his arms and snuggled the
yelled face down on his shoulder, telling
her not to be afraid because he was sure
her mother would forgive her.
Theydrove into the judges gate and
the marriage ceremony was performed
in the dusk of the front veranda. Then
the young man turned to kiss his bride
and discovered that he had married the
widow. For a moment or so he was
speechless with amaZement, then he
kissed her again, for herself, and de-
cided to make the best of the situation.
He took his wife home, and to a neigh
Dor confided the fact that although he
had believed himself in love with Matil-
da, he really adored her handsome
mother.
The girl was found next morning by a
neighbor, still bound to the bed in her
mothers room, and when she learned of
IL ha, no MIA Ch
too, determined to make the best of it.
She says she thought she loved Mr..
Whitley, but she is now sure that she
did not. Anyway, she is content to be
q daughter to him.

DE GREAYBR'S SON WON
Echo of a Sensational Killing
in Golden Gate Park
Long Ago.

An echo of the killing of Harry de
Greayer in Golden Gate Park on January
30, 1892 by Policeman Harper camo up in
Ju lge Hunt's court yester rday.
De Greayer was insured in the Fidelity
and Casualty Company of New YORK for
$4,000, and after his death the Company re.
fused to pay the policy on the ground that
the policy issued TO d. Greayer spe Gifted
that he should not voluntarily or un-
necessarily expose himself to danger and
that he had violated the terms of the
agreement.
The evidence at the trial OF Harper for
the killing of De Greayer showed that the
young man, in company with a lady, was
driving in the park and was cautioned by
Harper 10 keep within the limit allowed
by law. He persisted IN driving fast and
was finally stopped by the policeman.
An alteration arose and both the de-
ceased and the policeman drew revolvers
the latter using his and killing De
Greayer. Harp.r was acquitted on
charge of murder, and is still on the park
police.
Harry Gardiner de Greayer, the minor
son OF Harry de Greayer, by his uncle,
Septimus de Greayer, Il brother of the de-
ceasei l, sued the company for the amount
OF the policy and the interest from 1892 to
date. The jury gave Judgment for the
face of the policy and $1,000 interest and
costs.
