ANOTHER RECORD BREAKER.

This is a season of cord-bre"hlhs'
Imports of gold. and exports Of merchan3
disc and agricultural products. sales o.
stocks bank clearlngs ana railroad earn
ines have been the greatest that the
world has ever known, and now the
weather is giving the same sort Of an
account of itself. we are having in this
mart Of the country the longest and Sc
verest cold spell of which the weather
men have record. and even the Oldest
ipbabit1nt IS disposed TO make a confess
sion. We have an heard of the great
snow storm of 1851. and the old folks
have always boosted that those who did
not see that storm did not know what
a sure-enogh snow storm was. The snow
was as high as the fence. as high as the
back door, and it was in some places
along the road waste deep, and the mer-
curry was down to zero. 1t showed in
1851 for forty-eight hours.
At this writing the snow is as high az
the fence as high as the back door. and
waste deep in the road. II has been
showing for fifty hours. As for the mer-
curry it has kept around zero all the
time and has dipped at times several de-
grees below. We think it entirely safe
TO set down the snow storm Of 1893 as
record-breaker.
There has been much suffering, and
much Inconvenience. But the storm is
not without its good points. 1t will
help the wheat the intense cold will
kill disease germs and by contrast we
know what a glorious climate We have
az the normal. Think of the people in
the Northwest who have to endure this
sort of weather for several months at
a time every year. We of Virginia have
little TO complain Of on this score and
much for which to be profoundly CRATE
full.
Again. the cold snap has made us
grateful to God for the comforts Of
home We have had food and fuel and
warm clothing. Then too our generous
nature has been touched. We have fed
the poor little half-starved half-frozen
birds and we have given something to
relieve the distress of the poor. The
snow storm is not without its lesson and
its benefits.

ANOTHER KIND or DEMAGOGUE.

The blackstone Courier in noting what
we said the other day about the various
kinds Of demagogues. replies that we
omitted TO mention the "demagosue dem
agogue." and says that he who is always
ranting about demagogues is often the
greatest domsgogue of them all That
he lives not by his worth. but exists upon
the maledictions Of his superiors. Our
contemporary suggests that The Times
has no doubt met and contended with
dcmagogues Of this species.
Undoubtedly. and we thank our con-
temporary for trotting him out A
thief will often join in the procession OF
those who are running after a thief and
cry louder than any in order to distract
attention from himself. The demagogue
Is usually the prince of Pharisees, and.
generally speaking. is worse than any
of those whom he criticizes or denounces.
lie is a disgusting character from what
ever standpoint YOU view him and where
ever you md him. A demagogue is all
kinds Of a demagogue as occasion seems
TO demand.

The Birmingham News has now taken
up arms against Colonel Coin Harvey
because he has got the Democratic party
into the cigar business. and says that
che should be fired"
Not at all. His cigars should be fired,
but C6lonel Harvey, never. he is doing
a great work, as we have shown in pre-
rlous articles. He is doing more than
any living man to disgust true Demo
Gratis with Harveyism and all that IL

only one. lie is getting valuable aid
from Hon. Arthur Sewall, late candidate
OF Mr. Harvey's party for vice-president,
who recently appeared before committee
OF Congress in behalf OF Mark Hanna s
steamship subsidy bill.
Harvey Sewal and Company are doing
excellent work In the direction named,
and are to be encouraged Democrats are
fast getting disguised with Harveyism
and Sewallsrp and all the rest of it,.
They are fast learning that when the
party forsook its principles in 1896 and
went after strange doctrines and strange
leaders IL made a fatal blunder.
Harvey was fakir and an adventurer
from the beginning. and he Is keeping
IL up. Sewan was bred I'm an atmos-
phere Of New England protection, ana
he has believed an along IN government

LITTLE MONEY NEEDED.

In our remarks Sunday upoa captain
Camm Patieson's letter we failed TO note
chat a large body OF most intelligent
thinkers hold that there never was
moment when tho supply Of gold caused
thu least real uncasiness as 20 the guam
tity Of money necessary for business.
The fundamental error of free coiners
has always been that business is trans
acted with money. whereas, IN point OF
fact. only tine most infnitessimal part
OF d country's affairs are operated with
actual cash. When we had no railroads
and telegraphs great quantities Of money
were necessary because business was
then conducted by an exchange of money
for a commodity which commodity was
transported with great labor to some
other place and exchanged for other
money.
But even then business in its last
analysis was an exchange of commodi-
ties between separated localities the ex-
change being effected, en- great part by
the use Of cash. But since we have ac-
ouired facilities for rapid transportation
any distance for great bulks and an in
stant communication of thought TO any
part Of the world. business IS now con-
Quoted by shipping commodities and
drawing drafts against their value. These
drafts meet in the banks and are OK
changed. and while the matter is effected
by nominal transactions in dollars they
are at bottom nothing but exchange Of
commodities. We use the nomenclature
OF money, therefore. in the transactions.
but We do not use actual money. We
use money 10 settle balances only and
Cor retail transactions, but the great
bull Of affairs Of a highly civilized coun-
try Ike ours IS conducted with scarcely
any money at all. There never was
DAY. therefore. since railroad and tele-
graphic facilities were established when
gold lid not furnish a sufficient basis
Tor this country's business. and the dis
use OF silver is demons.radve Of that
fact. ,... 10
