STORM NOTES-HARBOR INCL
DENTS-ATLANTI CITY
BRIDGE.

Tho storm In The harbor yesterday
morning was severe, the wind here at
talning the velocity of SO miles from
the northwest, and rain falling in tor
rents. Quite a number of schooners
dropped anchor, but luckily no coils
ions nor damage resulted. The Naval
Reserves cruiser Siren dragged an
Choir, ana VAS carried over near the
Bay Line dock. from which position
she was towed back to her anchorage
later in the morning.
Captain French has started for Ocra-
coke with the intention of inspecting
the stranded steamer Jacksonville, of
the Clyde Line, lying vim the swash
channel. to see II she can be gotten Off.
If found practicable he will get at work
at once TO snlve her.
The tug Maggie J. Jory lately so
severely injured and sunk by unfortu-
nate collision with the tow line of
tug in Hampton Roads, came off the
marine railway yesterday. She now has
a new amokestack, rudder, etc.
The tug Anna towed the ferry steam
ers City Of Norfolk and Elizabeth to
the navy yard yesterday, where the
boiler OF the City Of Norfolk will be
taken out of her and placed in the
Elizabeth, and the former vessel con-
demned to rotten row.
Hardy's wharf is reported in dan
gcrous condition to pedestrians. owing
to the number of loose planks and open
spaces. 1t should be closed to public
travel or repaired il a menace to safe
ty.
Boatmen complain that the passage
Of the new Atlantic City draw bridge
Is dangerous, owing to the fact that
the new draw is wider than the old and
that the piling of the old bridge has
not been removed. but merely sawed
off under water. AS n result 1t Is stated
that the tug Hustler has broken a shaft
and one or two other tugs have met
with minor injuries, while several YES
sells have struck on them with more
or less injury to their bottoms. The
city is liable to have a damage suit on
hand IL this is not attended to.

According to Hume, there were not

wealthy-as were used were imported
from Holland and Flanders, and that

AS to this cylinder, have it made of

proper is of ample diameter to 20 over
any stump which you may wish to get

four lengths of which are sufficient to

OF course, the more pipe there is add
ed to the cylinder the fiercer the
draught will be. 1t will not do to have
1t too strong, however; otherwise the
drum part might collapse. Therefore,
when the fire Is first started and the
"crematory" has been placed in posi-
ton, the operator should watch 1t close
ly to see that it does not get too hot.
Provided 1t should begin to turn red,
earth ought to be applied around the
bottom of the cylinder until only just
enough air can gain admittance to keep
the fire going inside rs desired. In this
way a field of stumps can be cleared
out quite easily, and that to ones COM

The way to do it is to dig hole be-

are manufactured, the camel is watch

NQQUtE&
Money.

1t seems to me that In describing
money and the functions of money we
use too many terms that apply with
more force to credit tokens than they
do to money. We speak of money as
the circulating medium" and the me
dunn of exchange" while the fact Is
that 90 per cent. of the business is done
with credit tokens-checks, drafts,
notes of hand, ETC., etc, which are in
no sense money, but must be Cancelled
with money. Neither are currency"
and money" synonymous terms. Con-
gress coins money under one law, and
issues currency under another. Cur
rency is Il credit token, and always
bears promise to pay money (dollars).
Money is created by the law of n nation
for special purpose. and will recog-
nize nothing else as lawful tender OF
settlement between its citizens in their
business transactions. Money, there
fore, has nationality--has to do only
with its own people, and loses its iden-
tity as money and becomes commod-
ity when 1t crosses its own frontier.
There is no such thing rs information
al money!" and never has been, and,
from the very nature of money, never
can be.
Theintrinsic value of money Is vested
In the law that always recognizes the
power of so much money to cancel 80
much debt. and never asking IL the
money is made of gold, silver OF paper.
There is no intrinsic" value in gold, as
distinguished from it's market value.
If anyone thinks there is, ask him
please to define the difference. Now, 1t
seems to me that with these facts be-
fore the people it will be easy to I'M
drstand some of the evils of the gold
standard. which limits the material Of
which money can be made to the lims
tied and high priced product-gold-
thereby depriving money, by its
scarcity, of its legitimate function as a
medium of exchange, and driving 1t to
the vaults of banks to be held as re-
serve, and forcing the use of credit
tokens" in all business transactions,
thus giving the people n circulating me-
dun of Credit tokens" aud the banks
a reserve of the token of final settle
ment. AS the ultimate end Of all credit
tokens dncluding currency is cancella-
ton by final settlement, and the banks
holding all the tokens Of final settle
ment, it can only be drawn from them
in exchange for interest bearing bonds,
mortgages, notes of hand, etc, creating
a stream of interest and discounts, that
carries to the banks hundreds of mil
lions of dollars annually, and creating
a demand for money outside of the
channels of trade that forces the price
of money higher and higher and the
price Of products of industry, with
which money is bought, lower and
lower-money becoming concentrated
in the hands Of few and Industries
languishing for want of its general dis
tribution.-John II. Graham, in Missis-
sippi Valley Democrat,
