Robbers are goldites. Silver is toe
heavy for light fingered gentry. Re-
Gently robbers broke into a West Vir.
gina National Bank; and they took the
gol J. the treasury notes and the bank
notes; but they left the silver. Honest
money for honest men did not suit
them. 1t was sixteen times loo heavy
for them. Bat that's an old stsry; the
Treasury hooters always make thsir
raids uptn the gold reserves, just as
,Jamersop, Rhodes and Chamberlain
have made war on the Afrlkanaers for
the Transvaal gold mines. It is now
said, however, that England will be
glad to get cut of The war on silver
basis, if she can escape from the Boer
lead currency now so prevalent in
South Africa. A few more victories
will send the British DULLES t'bootlsss
home and weather-beaten back" So
