OeucrsOn DAVIS monument fun0.
Soon after the death of Mr.. Davis
considerable sums were su absorbed in
Mississippi toward the erection of a
monument to his memory. Some OF
the contributions were sent to the Mon.
ument Association at Richmond /; other
amounts were deposited in local banks,
where they still remain. The United
Confederate Veterans created a Monu.
mentF Fund Committee of one from each
Southern State, with instructions to
collect contributions already made and
solicit others, and forward all to the
treasurer at Richmond. The plan for a
monument was adopted and the found.
alton laid in Monroe Park, Richmond.
There is now in bank, at interest, the
sum of $50, 5000 The Monument Com.
mittee has requested the Daughters OF
the Copfederacy to assume charge OF
the fund and erect the monument. And
funds be sen at once to Mrs. Edgar
Taylor, treasurer of Central Committee,
Richmond, Va. 1t is urgently request.
ed that all who were connected with
the collection and deposit of these
funds, should send them forward with.
out delay, so that the Central Commit
tee may be able to report at Louisville,
June 3--the anniversary of the birth O.
Nj. Davis-how much will then be il
hand toward the erection Of the monu.
ment. This will be sufficient authority
for any bank, committee or individual
to act in this behalf.
The total contributions by Mississip
pi will be reported later.

normal conductors and institute con
ductors.
The normals for whites will be at

The colored normals will be at

Instead of the usual white normal at
Oxford, a special term of the university
will run for six weeks, for the benefit
of teachers who wish to take advanced
studies.
The State board adopted a resolution
positively forbidding all persons en-
ployed in the normals or institutes from
acting as agents OIL solicitors of school
book companies.
ST there was anything Of Importance to
the people of the State that came before
the recent session Of the legislature it was
the question Of a better and a cheaper sys-
tenn of text books for our public schools.
The present system is VIGOROUSLY deficient
and expensive"
This is the opinion of Editor Quinn of
Centreville Jeffersoniau, who was a
member of the house that expressed
the same opinion by a vote of nearly
two to one. In the meantime the
school patrons of the State will con-
tinue to pay heavy tribute to the school
book trusts. This question will doubt
less be a leading issue in the election OF
the mex legislature. Indeed it should
be thoroughly discussed before the
meeting of the 1902 special session OF
the present legislature.

contained in them, with ours, knowing
their weight and f~ineness.
The ounce of gold will make $2o.67 Of
our coins.
The ounce of silver will make $1.2o
of our dollars.
Turning to mint report of 1896, page
1872, we find the sovereign or pound to
contain 113 .001597 grains of pure gold,
dividing $50, the number of grains in
the troy ounce, / find the ounce Will
make 4.24s sovereigns, or pounds, divid-
ing S20.67, the number of dollars an
ounce of gold will make in our money
by the number of pounds it Will make
of English money, we find it to be
S4.s66563. as the value in our money OF
the sovereign.
In the same report we find the Eng
lish shilling to contain S0.727266 grains
of silver, dividing the ounce $50 grains
by this, and we find the ounce of sill
yer will make 5.945 s%hillipgs. Dividing
1929. the value of an ounce of silver
in our money, and the shilling is worth
but .217447 of a dollar, yet 20 shillings
make the English pound, then the gold
shillings to bring to this country Is
worth .24332S of a dollar, or .025Ss1 of
a dollar more than the silver shilling
to make into coin.
Turning to same report, page ADJ,
Germany, the crown equal to ten
marks, Il contain 53.311 grains OF
gold. or the ounce will make nine
crowns, or a crown will equal $2.29666,
10 marks; then the gold mark is .22966.
The silver mark contains 77.160
grains, or the ounce of silver Will make
6.226S marks. or the silver mark will
make in our coin .207s. or a difference
of .021s between the gold and silver
mark.

of which France is one, we find the
franc the unit. Taking smallest gold
coin, fve-franc. it contains 1.452 grams
of pure gold (the gram equals 15.43236
g~rains), we find the five-franc piece to
contain 22.407s grains, or, the ounce
will make 107.10556 francs, or the gold
franc is equal to 1913 cents of our mon
ey. Taking the five-franc silver, con-
tanning 22.5 grams, the ounce of silver
will make 6.9115, or of our money .1s7
cents. This fve-franc is unlimited in
its tender in the union, same as our
silver dollar is here.
While the one-franc piece is limited
same as our silver subsidiary coins are,
it contains AIS grams, or the ounce
will make 7.4441 of these francs, in
value of our money us cents, so that
France has three really different values
of franc. as compared in our money.

on the gold standard, and the bankers
in their conventions state they van
the money of this country the same rs
in these countries named, so that when
they speak of the dollar they know
what its value is the same as they do
when they speak of the pound of Eng
land. the franc of France, or the mark
of Germany. Are these great fnan-
ciers so ignorant that they do not
know that the same thing compared
with itself in value never changes any
more than the dollar that was estab-
lished in 1892, containing 371A grains
of silver, made the dollar then as il
does now. when it contains the same
number of grains. but the value of the
dollar, in comparisons as to what it
will exchange for in products, changes
under the laws of supply and demand
the same as other things. In this coun-
tEy-or the pound in England-when
it will not buy as much of our wheat
as it did at some other the pound de-
preciated in value in comparison with
the wheat. though the pound contained
the same number of grains of gold,
and the bushel contained the same
number of pounds or cubic inches Of
wheat.
The decision of the courts is in
this country as well as other countries
that the value of the metal or material
of which money is made as a COM
modify has nothing TO do with the
value as the currency of Il country.
| illegal tender decision May 1,ls71, 12
Wallace. page $40: The constitution
does not ordain what metals may be
coined or prescribe that the legal value
of the metal when coined shall CORE
spond at all with the intrinsic value
In the market" Page 54s: But the
obligation of a contract to pay money
is to pay that which the law shall rec
ognize as money when the payment is
to be made. If there is anything set
tied by decision it is this, and we do
not now understand it to be contro-
verified" Judge Bradley in his opinion,
page sos, referring to mixed money in
England, the decision is found in Sir
John Davis report (page 4S), holding
the same views, and there was not q
judge dissented as to the value of mon
ey coined from silver and gold
In the opinion of the court, page $50,
says: The legal tender acts do not
attempt to propose a standard of value
We do assert that congress
has power to enact that the govern
ment's promises to pay money shall,
be for the time being equivalent in
value to the representative OF value
determined by the coinage acts, oil
multiples thereof. 1t is hardly correct
to speak of the standard OF value. Thu
constitution does not speak of it. j
contemplates a standardfo for that which
has gravity or extension.
