The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Rising Sun, will hold
a parlor meeting at the home OF
Mrs. S. Taylor Reynolds on Friday
evening, Sept. LIST, at 1880 o'clock.
Refreshments will be served and a

tended to all.
Edward Lee, colored, aged about
20 years, and residing in Belair,
was shot in the head late Sunday
! night while returning from the
colored camp at Fallston, Hartford
county, and expired from the effects
of the wound on Monday afternoon.
Three colored men, Joseph Young,
Joseph Bush and Alex Murray, all
of Forest Hill, were placed in Jail
charged with the shooting.
John Keilholtz, a well known
farmer of this place, has felt the
effects of the heat this week, being
advanced in years. He went up
stairs to rest last Tuesday morning
and when called for dinner did not
respond. One of his daughters
went to waken him and found him
gasping for breath and unconscious.
Medical aid was promptly secured
and he soon rallied. One or two
sinking spells since have alarmed
the family but Mr.. Keilholtz has
now seemingly recovered.
The thunder storm of Monday
evening was very severe in Hartford
and Baltimore counties, also i'll the
section of this county lying between
Pennington and Elkton. In the
latter town the house occupied by
the family of George Short, near
the pulp mill, was struck by light
ming. The family had retired for
the night when the lightning struck
the house, breaking out panes of
glass and tearing off some of the
boards. The electric current en-
tered the house near the chimney,
passed through several rooms and
into the room in which the occu
pants were, knocked over a large
wardrobe and upset a lamp. The
occupants of the house were more
or less shocked by the bolt, but not
seriously.

Standing by a Fact.

"Ihe monetary standard of this
, country and the commercial world
is gold" This sentence, from the
: Iowa Republican platform, is a
brief statement of a financial fact
which cannot be successfully dis.
proved or changed by the combined
efforts of the ignorant, the dishon-
est and the demagogues.-Philada
Times.
And what does this grandilo-
quent announcement so pompously
set forth by that mouth-piece of
monopoly mean or signify? The
monetary "standard' of every
country is just what each country
makes it. The legal tender of the
country is its standard money.
The worlds money is composed of
gold, silver and paper, and debts,
taxes and exchanges are paid and
made in that money, which is the
standard" money. The quantity
of this money, no difference which
of these three materials it is made
of, prices the property of the coun-
try. All of this money, and it is
invariably mixture of the three
materials, influences the prices
alike. If the government enacts
that nothing but gold shall compose
its money, then the money of that
country must be gold alone and it's
quantity will be limited and prices
.of property will be very low.
AT present the "monetary stan
dard" of this country is gold, silver
and greenbacks. These three will
pay, and pay alike, every dollar of
debt or taxes in this country and
are doing that work every day.
The sole purpose of the gold
standard is to give the creditor
supreme power over the debtor.
There is but one way to establish a
single gold standard, which is to
make by an act of congress legal
tender money composed of gold
alone. If that were accomplished
the creditor could always demand |
gold in liquidation of his debts and
accept nothing else. The debtor
would have to borrow or buy the
gold at such interest or premium as
the lender-who would be one of
the creditor class-demanded, or
suffer his property to 60 to public
sale. There is no reason under the
sun for desiring a gold standard
financial system except to place the
debtor more completely in the
power of the creditor.
Do you farmers, and others, al
ready loaded down with the weight
of debt, till your families do not
know which way to look for relief,
want to place yourselves and them
more completely in a debtors
bondage than you already are?
The lgold standard, though not
legal, has been practiced by the
government ever since Harrison
was made President. If any farm,
or all of them for that matter, had
been sold in 1S7O-73, and the money
buried or hidden away and dug up
now it would pay for all the farms
then sold and nearly one half of the
sum remain in the possession of the
money burier, such has been the
ruinous rate which prices have
fallen and money risen. This is
the fruit of the gold standard and
this is the purpose of the gold stan
dard. The most amazing thing
about it all is that any person pro-
ducing things to sell, especially |
farmers, should favor q gold
standard.

Why is it that the taxpayers of Rising

greatest? Q.

According 70 the terms OF the treaty, hnal rat

must sign the treaty thus formally approving
