For Sound Money.

To the EDIToR:-
Permit me through your columns to call
attention to the need OF active interest and
&C. peration in behalf of sound money y
the business men of New England. Many
of them seem to believe that the money
aus stion was settled by the last election
and, on the other hand, some who realize
the actual state of things seem to feel that
nothing can be done about it. While the
sound money men in this part OF the coun-
try take hold Of this question only in an
obvious emergency, such as occurred in
1896, the silverites are working all the
time, Distributing literature, propagating
their doctrines and organizing their forces.
There is, in fact, an emergency now fer
the silverites are likely to win the house of
in the election next autumn
unles. there is vigorous and persistent
opposition from now until election day.
This opposition to the movement for free
silver and fat money-they are the same in
principle-requires a thorough-going edu-

Windham County Court.

G. Densmore Wheat VS. town of Putney.
This was an action of assumpsit to recover
bill of $105 80 tor professional services
rendered by the plaintiff who is Putney
physician to one Frank Knight, who was a
charge of said town. The evidence on the
part of plaintiff was to the effect that in
May 1898 he was called on by Knight for
medical attendance; that he found him in a
condition requiring further careful atten-
ton and treatment; that he Immediately
notified the overseer of the poor of Pu.ney
of this fact and received from him direc-
ton, as he understood the matter, to furn-
ish such treatment as the case required ::
that from time to time he visited the ma
tient, whose case was serious one. and
finding that general medical treatment was
unavailing finally induced the overseer to
send Knight to the Mary Fletcher hospital
at Burlington for the performance of an
operation upon him; that Knight returned
from the hospital in condition recurring
FIR time careful medical treatment. which
the overseer directed plaintiff TO render
that at another time when Knight was sick
with the grip the overseer also emploved
plant IF to attend the case that Knights
illness covered period of nearly three
years during which time plaintiff attended
him whenever called upon and whenever
he deemed that treatment was needed
that it was plaintiffs experience, as vel as
the code of the medical profession. that
whenever physician is set to work on a
case he may rightfully claim that he is
thereby retained as long as his services are
needed, unless otherwise notified.
The theory of the defense was that a
town is not holden for any claim unless in
accord with specific contract made by
duly authorized town official and the evil
dence of that side tended to show that
plaintiff was not employed to attend
Knight generally but on one, two or three
special occ isions only; that he was told by
the overseer of the poor not to attend

clples OF sound currency and sound bank
ing. Fruits will not be fully apparent at
once in this work, but it will be Of lasting
value to the country by preventing the
waves OF enthusiasm for fiat money which
have heretofore swept over our country
from time to time and which have made us
source OF both amusement ard terror to
foreign financiers and merchants.
The only organization which is doing
work of this kind at the present time and
on large scale is the executive committee
OF the business mems monetary convention.
This committee is engaged not only in
backing the currency and banking reform

education throughout the country.
President Mckinley said in New York a
short time a 20: cit will not suffice for citi-
zens nowadays to say simply that they are
in favor of sound money. That is not
enough. The peoples purpose must be
given the vitality OF public law"
Ex-President Cleveland said few days
ago: eff anyone believing with us sup
poses that free silver can be prevented from
controlling the two houses of the next con.
gress without effective organization and
hard work, the quicker he abandons that
idea the more useful he will be as a sound
money man."
The situation is serious and the sound
money cause needs and is entitled to the
earnest and effective support of every bust
ness man. If anyone who is willing to aid il
this work will communicate with the under
signed he will be placed in touch at once
with what is being done.
