origin in the general government that
is the most fatal conception that Is pos
sible. for It leads the popular mind OF
into the notion that moneys value de-
Ponds upon law. and that idea soon
spreads into the further idea that the
government can stamp fifty cents worth
OF silver dollar and make 1t a dollar,
and then follow all the other dangerous
absurdities OF fat money.
The truo theory OF the business II that
the dollar has its own value dependent
upon the desire Of men for the rental and
the labor necessary TO produce 1t and with
that fixed and established as the stand
ard Of value the banks should be per-
mitted 10 put out as many promises TO
pay these dollars as they choose, but the
promises must always be performed on
demand or the bank issuing 1t Is to be
at once put into liquidation and wound
up. When Mathew Marshall comes to an
understanding Of this, ne may become
useful citizen.

As. ere the storm a silence fills the world,
no blade Is turned, no banner IS I'M
furled,
In conscious leaf or wood;
So all the morning, hushed and tranced
with fear
l seemed 10 see a messenger drew near.
Whose errand was not good.
I turned, and. 10. beside the open door.
The friend l deemed beset with perils
sore,
Close by me, smiling. stood.
I know not why-I said that summer
night
The heart in me should be so wondrous
light,
So calm each passing breath.
Assurance kind greets me I'm every star;
The al-gathering breeze, that hasteneth
from affair."
How glad thing 1t saith!
That was the night my friend beyond the
seas,
Beneath his tent, under the olive trees,
Turned his blue eyes on death.
