thing despite questions of expedlency
This Drought a round Of applause. the
first of the day, in which some of the
members OF the committee Joined.
Representative Newlands, silverste,
OF Nevada. discussed with Mr.. Ed
munds the effect of the bill In con-
tractings the currency. Mr. Edmunds
DID not tbelleve contraction would oc-
cur, or that bank reserves would be
in1uriousiy affected by having the sup
ply of greenbacks limited and In part
d1splac ced by the demand for gold. Mr..
Newlands specified the limited guam
tity Of gold in this country, to which
Mr.. Edmpnds replied that the metal
flowed to the point where it was most
needed and followed a law like that
of gravitatio
Pursuing. his questions, Mr. New
lands asked il the world had n sulli-
cheney Of gold.
mot sufficiency of gold or Of vir-
tue, answered Mr.. Edmunds, "and
both"
It was this that led to the rush to
the Klondike.
Ex-secretary Fairchnd next spoke
on the banking features of the bill.
He prefaced this, however. by saying
that Monetary standards were no
more subject to governmental control
than the tides and winds. 1t was a
natural and economic operation be-
tween individuals, in which each
sought the best.
AS to banking, Mr.. Fairchild said 1t
was useful to consider how Intelligent
private individuals would conduct
banking, without the aid of law. and
from that Judge what the Government
can do. AS to the bank note. there
was no essential need of the Govern
ment being a factor.
The design of the banking feature Of
the commissions bill was to facilitate
the natural operations OF banking and
exchange. by adding the Governments
aid toward rapidity, certainty and
safety Of these exchanges.
Mr.. Bush, of Admission, Ala, a mem
Der of the Monetary Commission, was
next heard He said 1t would not be
to the credit Of any party in power to
check this movement for currency re-
form, or to fail to embrace the oppor-
tunity to execute it, There were some
who were so bound up In the tariff
that they wished to convince the coun-
try that the tariff would accomplish
everything. But the tariff would not
cure the vital evils of the currency
It was quite as important for mem
bers of Congress to meet these evils
as to finish battleships and cruisers as
preparation for emergency.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bush's
statement the committee adjourned
until Tomorrow. when the hearing will
be resumed
tive Fowler, OF the committee, met
members of the commission tonight
with q view to seeing If there was any
basis of agreement between their
financial bills and those of the COM
mission and Of Secretary Gage.

Down by the creek u derrick stands

the drill cesselessly. Opposite it is
the new Nicholson smelter. Here
there is one large building finished,
the pottery room, and another huge
one, a furnace shed, going up. Out
on the siding are half dozen freigh5
cars which tho fussy switch engine

A Business Parable.

Once q farmer had 1900 bushels OF
wheat. which he sold not to q single
grain merchant, but to 1900 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
paid him in cash, but far the greater
number said IL was not convenient
then; they would pay him later. A
few months passed, and the mans
bank account ran low. "How Is this?'
he said. "My 1900 bushels of grain
should have kept me In affiuence until
another crop Is raised, but have
parted with the gram aud have in
stead only vast number OF accounts,
so small and scattered that l cannot
get around and collect fast enough to
pay expenses"
so he posted up public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest
said: "Mine is only a small matter,
and | will go and pay one of these
days" forgetting that though each
account was very small, when all
were put together they meant large
sum to the man. Things went on
thus. The man got to feeling so bad
ly that he fell out of bed and awoke,
aud running to his granary found his
1880 bushels of wheat still safe there.
He had only been dreaming.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher OF his paper and said:
Here, sir, is the pay for your paper.
and when the next years subscrip.
ton is due you can depend upon me
to pay it promptly. | stood in the

II was in q most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes

day. Fortunately, a friend advised
trying Electric Bitters; and to my
great joy and surprise the first bottle
made decided improvement. 1 con-
