tracted meeting was in progress.
During the interim between the morning
and afternoon services, while dinner was
being enjoyed in the grove surrounding the

driving. He Immediately mounted a horse,
and overtaking the couple within half
mile Of the church, fired three shots from
his thirty elght-caliber Smith Il Wesson re-
volver at Sandidge Two Of the shots
struck his victim in the back.
Parr then returned to the church, accom-
panied by Miss Bowles, where, mounting a
horse, he rode away In a sweeping gallop.
lie was afterward arrested, and by order OF
the county Judge was taken to Lynchburg

FIXING THE PRICE OF GOLD BY
LAW.

w
-
The money value or price of god II
absolutely fixed by law In the coin
age system of the United State %
grains Of standard gold, or 1922 grams
pure are worth 81, for the all-suticient
reason that the law requires Just that
weight Of gold to. be,put into the dol
lar. In other words, the gold dollar
weighs 25.S grains. So by the English
coinage laws an ounce Of pure gold will
be coined into GS IT'S 1Otd of English
money. That amount is the mint rate,
but when gold is depositedas the mint
for coinage there is always some delay
in getting returns. Prior to 1874 that
DELAY averaged about i sixty days.
Therefore the owners OF bullion de-
sirous Of having their money at once
would sell it to the brokers for some
thing less than the mint r0te--usuaily
forrbout f3 IT'S Cd an ounce. Ac-
cordingly, in that year parliament en-
acted that the Bank OF England should
take alI,bullion offered at its counters
and pay for it at the I tie OF Is It's I'd
an ounce, the difference Of Il pence be-
tween the ba.k rate aud the mint
rate being intended to partially or
wholly reiAburss The bank tor the de-
Law. That has been substantially
the price of'gold, bullion ever since.
The act of parliament at once raised
the price of COLL III ion about 5 pence
an ounce. A favorite argument with
the gold people is that the Va're
of gold is wholly Independent
of coinage. And-yet- We see that .
simple delay OF sixty days in,the cein-
nge made difference Of Al pence a.
ounce in the .lus OF gold bullion. II
the delay had been longer the difference
would have been greater. II it could
not have been ceiaed at all either in
England or elsewhere, we'leave some
gold worshiper to figure out how much
it would have bten worth. In France
the law provides fer the coinage OF
gold at the rate S,4O0@irancs to the
.kilogramme. The lifogrammeiss one-
thing overf22-mOre exactly f2.61S6l
tr 10Y. We are not aware OF any law in
Fran ce sinilar to the English provision
Of lS44.I In that country the mint
rate fixes the price; subject. to any
small difference that may result from
delay in the coinage, as was formerly
the case in England. But this diff
Essence must be very slight because
the gold can be realized, upon immedi-
al ely al the Bank Of England. . The
reader will, OF course understand
that it is money value alone
it is here spoken Of. An ounce OF gold
is worth just as many "dOllars Is 1t
will make. But how much thoss "del-
lars. will buy Tor exchange for) OF
something else depends upsn their
number, compared with the quantity
of that something else: The exchange
value Of gold is constantly varying. the
same as the exchange value OF other
things. IT, gold coins were to be
doubled in weight there would only be
half as many Of them. and each one
would buy twice as much OF other
things as it does new. but it would
take twice as MUCK gold bullion to
buy a gold dollar. -,
