There is no telling what else the
philosopher would have yanked in his
observations, but barkeep laid his I'm
ger on his LIP when man came in and
told him "now is the time to subscribe
for the Homecoming Star" Barkeep
evidently didn't want his interview
with the philosopher illuminated.

Concerning "A Plenty"

The following couplet is current
In the circulation of money, not in the
storing of money, is the good of money.
A question has often occurred to the
JOURNAL in connection with the notion
that the situation can be improved by
more money in circulation"
That is-hooo are we to get "more
money in circulation -
When a bullion owner gets million
silver dollars for Il million of bullion,
hoc are we to get the million
dollars from the bullion man?
Even If we have the wheat, corn,
potatoes, ETC., to exchange, does the
bullion-owner want so much produce
for his million?
If he does not, who is to see that he
puts his million sin circulation" any
way?
And if we get the million for what
we have to sell, who is to see that we
spend it for things we do not need in
order to keep ii Sin circulation ?"
With possible "rainy day" ahead
of everybody, who is to make it Ger
tainty by seeing that nobody "lays
up" money for that cherries period Of
life?
After all, doesn't the whole absurd,
artificial business fall back under the
RATIONAL natural dominion of the law
of supply answering in both price and
value only to demand
PLENTY of money in circulation" is
good thing only when it is based
upon legitimate business operations
Otherwise, the more money the peo
pie have the worse off they will be,
and yet worse off become.
I'm possamt, the gentlemen who are
agitating popular relief from currency
stringency by resort to artificial
methods of expansion are exactly those
who are aggravating the trouble they
imagine they want to cure. They in
weigh against "the tyranny of gold"
over commercial freedom with the
same logic the tramp INDUCES against
the despotism of water as the solvent
of dirt
But let them abandon the crusade
against gold, the money of civilization,
Infringing FORTH" meanwhile, fruits
meet for repentance" and in less than
year millions of hiding places will
uncover, the yellow metal leap into
the currency and Pactolus anew flow
like a river of life through every
channel of commerce abroad and at
home, especially at home

Complimentary.

CUMBERLAND MD, Nov. %, 1898
To the MINING Journal.
| have been close reader of
the JOURNAL for several years. and at
different times have decided to write
and compliment you on the appearance
and general makeup of your paper,
as, being disciple of Gutenberg and
Franklin, L am naturally interested in
all that elevates "the art preventative
of all arts and can conscientiouslv
state that | have never yet had the
pleasure OF seeing a country newspaper
that was as nicely printed and as
pleasing to the eye as is the JOURNAL.
Unfortunately. as a rule the average
country paper, (and am sorry to say,
some of the larger city papers, are
little better) on first glance is enough
to make live printer bury his sor-
rows in the flowing bowl or get his
gun and take to the woods.
Some months since read an article
in the Inland Printer (Which, by the way,
stands at the very pinnacle of maya
zine printing Of the period.) on the
general appearance of the daily papers
of some OF the larger cities, and the
writer said 1t was generally admitted
that the Philadelphia Times was about
the best printed and most readable
daily paper Of them all, while aesthetic
Boston, Supposed to be the home of
culture) as a whole had the worst
specimens OF newspapers, judged from
the printers standpoint, of any of the
larger cities. Several of the Chicago
dailes received complimentary men
ton, while but one | think, of the
New York papers was considered
worthy of notice, and Baltimore papers
were not mentioned.
Yes often put in jibes at Cumberland,
some of them very just. but | can
tell you one thing-with all your boast
ing of Frostburg as "metropolis."
etc., if it were not for the JOURNALS
well-earned prestige as the best county
newspaper in the state, the old town
that gets shot in'the night sometimes
would hardly be known this side of
Eckhalt.
But to return:
enjoy reading the JOURNAL on ac-
count of its brightness aud the terse
manner with which it handles sub
lect and make its point plain and force
full. OF course, on many subjects |
differ with the positions taken and
statements made, though | have too
healthy regard for my humble self to
take outspoken issue with the 'paper
that is exclusively great"
May its greatness continue to in
crease until none dare dispute its ex-

filing that high office, it is credlbly
and conpetently stated, that Mr.. Nc
Michael exhibited an ability and fdel-

commission in the first place to assign
him the performance of new, onerous

filed it with satisfaction to all con-

nation, that the people should know a
fact that is hardly less creditable to
those who trusted him.
