voted and which became law by being
passed over the veto of President Hayes,
on Feb. 28, 1878, more than 400 millions
of silver dollars of 4121a grains each
have been coined.
This coinage, this pernicious attempt
to make money plentiful and cheap,
which Major Mckinley and other re-
publicans pushed through congress, dis
placed, under the operation of the
Gresham law, an equal amount of bet
ter currency. But, in spite Of Major
Mckinley and other advocates of this
act, under it's operation silver declined
nearly 80 per cent. in bullion value, not
withstanding Bryanarchic prophecies
that this immense coinage would put up
it's price.
After the failure of the Bland-Allison
act to maintain the price of silver bull

the price of silver by buying
million ounces a month and issuing
Treasury notes in payment therefor, to
be fioated on parity with gold, proved
as disastrous failure as it's predecessor,
the Bland Allison nOstrum.
Under the Sherman act, which pro-

declined from 81 .06
to 70 cents an ounce. So these two pieces
of silver legislation, intended as supports
to the silver bullion market, ignomin-

of that metal. The inevitable law, that

between an alleged democrat who advo-
Gates the redemption of government
note, which promises to pay dollar with
a silver coin that is denominationally
hundred cents, but purchasingly only
fifty cents, and an alleged populist who
proposes to never redeem it at all? Is
the man who only steals fifty cents
more honest man than the one who steals
whole dollar?
And if silver is just as desirable as
gold, then why does the alleged demo-
crat reserve the option of paying, in
either metal, to the government? If the
people are partial to silver why not let
the payee tell which dollar he prefers
when he presents greenback for re-
demption at the treasury of the United
States, and thus get either the white or
the yellow coin?
There were in the very beginning Of
greenback legal-tenderism democratic
protests against the same. There never
has been any reputable advocacy Of
legal -tenderism for greenbacks by DEM
ocrats. The legal tender quality was
first given to money to compel creditors
to accept from debtors, in liquidation of
claims against them, that which other
wise would have been rejected.
But, if the legal tender quality should
be taken from gold tomorrow by con-
gressional enactment, it would not hurt
gold. Gold would remain as much de-
sired by mankind as it is today, with the
legal tender quality affixed to it. And
the universal desire for gold by civilized
man makes a universal demand for it
and the universal demand makes it
universal value. This value, however,
is always relative, never intrinsic.

tial possibility in perpetuity, by COM
moner editorial than usual, attempts to
define democracy and it's financial views.
This erudite writer, forecaster, and 49,
to-1 -or-die statesman, remarks:
'sThe democrats advocate legal
tender greenback issued by the govern
ment, redeemable in coin, the govern
ment to exercise the option as to which
coin, while the populists believe in an
irredeemable greenback."
When did the democratic party advo-
cate the legal tender greenback? Did
the national democracy ever declare for
legal tender of paper money, credit
money? Is not the greenback mere
promise to pay dollars? Did any re-
putable democratic convention ever de-
clare greenbacks, righteously and con-
stitutionally, made legal tender? On
the other hand, have not the best and
ablest representative democrats of the
United States deplored the action of the
Supreme Court, and reprobated it's
changed front and self-reversing on the
greenback question?
Is not history witness to the fact
that democracy has, in this republic,
always been opposed to the centraliza-
tion of power in any branch of the gov
eminent? And is to confer upon con-
gress the power to issue, to control, to
contract or expand, the volume of green
backs, anything less than centralizing
power in the Legislative branch of this
government, greater than that possessed
by any sovereign on earth? Where did
the definer get his wonderful knowledge
as to the advocacy Of greenback issues
by the democracy?
What eminent democrat in the senate

UP-RIvER FAIR.
Amherst Will Have Better Fair
and Bigger Crowd Than Ever,

DIR. j. III. Patten, secretary OF the
Northern Hancock county fair associs-
tion, says Amherst Is going to have a
better fair and bigger crowd this year
than ever, and what the genial doctor
says may be relied upon as truth.
DIR. Pstten has always been hustler
for the Amherst fair, and this year, as
secretary, he is hustIing harder than ever.
He has lots OF attractions on the string,
and will have more before the fair opens.
The Northern Hancock farmers may be
depended upon to make good exhibits in
their line, and as for the farmers wives
and farmers daughters, visitors to the up
river fair in previous years know what to
expect from them In the way OF domestic
and artistic exhibits. The fair will close
us usual with grand ball.

COUNTY FAIR.
Ellsworth Will Have a Good
Exhibition This Year.

The fact that the Hancock County Fair
association was little late In deciding
upon having fair and naming the dates,
will not detract In the least from the ex-
cellence Of the exhibition.
Secretary Whitcomb is already In cor
respondence with the proprietors of some
attractive show features and specialties,
and soon will close contracts with some
OF them.
The fakirs also are writing for conces-
sions. There will be lots OF them here
this year. The fair association has made
up its mind that the people like the ia
kris, and are encouraging everything
legitimate In this line.
In few days the premium lists will be
out. There will be the usual large num-
Der OF classes, and premiums will be
liberal.
The classes for the trotting events have
not been decided upon, but will be so ar
ranged as to give all horsemen an OF por-
tunity to enter their horses. farmers
race, as usual, will be one OF the features.
There viii be other track events, in.
Guiding bicycle races and possibly an
automobile race.
Ellsworth will have good fair on Oct.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
important Topics Discussed at State
Convention Here Last Week.

Important Topics Discussed at State
Convention Here Last Week.
THE AMERICAN last Wednesday printed
brief report OF the State convention of
county commissioners which was in
session here that day. 1t was impossible
at that time to give a report OF the after
noon session, and OF the discussion on
questions presented to the convention.
The afternoon session was the impor-
tant one Of the convention. The report Of
the committee on legislation was received
and approved. The questions presented
for discussion were then taken up as fol-
lows:
!. Would 1t be wise for the poor of our State
to be cared for by counties instead of by
towns as at present?
Thir question drew out the principal
discussion OF the convention. [See edi-
torial page.l 1t was finally referred to a
committee composed of Merrill of Penob-
scot, Richardson of Hancock, PettengilI
of Kennebec, Coffin OF Washington and
Wiggin of Cumberland, to report next
year.
2. Should the law giving 20 per cent. of liquor
fines to the law library be repealed?
1t was voted as the sense of the con-
vention that the law should be repealed.
3. Is an officer entitled to travel on each pris-
oner committed to jail from a court re-
mote from the county seat provided he
commits several at one trip? What is
Constructive travel"?
This question was discussed at some
length, bat no action was taken.
4. What should be considered fair compensa.
ton for a coroner?
Discussed; no action taken.
All the discussions were animated, and
many points OF value to the commits
sioners were brought out.
Invitation Of Commissioner Adams, of
Sagadahoc county, heartily seconded by
Clerk OF Courts Glidden, for the conven-
tion to meet with them at Bath next
year, was accepted, and the board voted
to meet at Bath the second Wednesday of
August, 1902.
The usual vote OF thanks to the Han
cock county commissioners and county
officers for courtesies extended, closed
the BUSINESS of the convention.
In the evening at the court room, State
Commissioner OF Highways, j. o. San
ford, OF Vermont, spoke on "The Manage
ment Of Country Roads,. Mr.. Sanford is
an acknowledged expert in this line. His
system of road building and manage
ment was first adopted by his own town,
then by his state and is now receiving at
tention from other states. His address
was plain, practical talk, "full OF meat,
and could not but prove of great value to
the commissioners who heard it. At the
close OF his talk, he answered many
questions put by the commissioners and
Others present.
Thursday morning the commissioners
left for Bar Harbor. The fog which hung
heavy above the bay lifted as they APP
preached Bar Harbor, and they had de-
lightful day there. First Selectman John
E. Bunker, jr., extended the inequalities
of Bar Harbor most royalty. Under his
personal guidance, the visitors saw Bar
Harbor thoroughly, from Schooner Head
to Hull's Cove.

Wronged Wife Makes Early Morning
Call on Wicked Husband.
The peaceful summer colony at Brook
lin was disturbe at o'clock last Satur-
day morning by the first rappings OF a
scandal. Investigation showed that the
rsppings came from the hands of Deputy
Sheriff n. II. Dority. who in the name of
the law demanded entrance to he Phillips
house at Flye's point.
In one OF he rooms OF the house were
"Mr. and Mrs Samuel Kann", who had
registered two weeks before, and had
entered into the summer life OF the COM
munity. That early morning call had a
particular interest for Mr.. and Mrs.
Kann". With the officers was small
woman with a determined look in her
eye. The man known as "Mr. Kann"
was her husband, she said, and by the way
Mr.. Kann received his early morning
callers, there seemed little reason to dou bt
it.
The officer promptly served warrant
on the man and his companion, charging
them with adultery. They were taken
before Judge Spofford, OF the Western
Hancock municipal court, Saturday, and
bound over for the October term OF the
supreme judicial court.

MY DEAR SIR II see by ad. that you are to

it at Cincinnati and Chicago, and have seen all

doubt, The Destruction of Pompeii is the great

The Only WAY.

The only way, as characterized by Henry
Miller in his famous role, was rather a
dismal one, but the "only Way" to the
Pan-Americsn exposition, considering a
route free from transfer across Boston, is
via the Boston & Maine railroad, and after
once enjoying the beautiful and fascinat-
ing scenery of this popular route, the
general verdict is that the Boston & Maine
is the cheapest, shortest and most enjoy
able route to the exposition. For full In
formation, send to the general passenger
department of the Boston & Maine rail-
road, Boston, for book entitled "Pictur-
esque Routes to the Pan-American Expo
sition".

LAMOINE ELOPEMENT.
Tickle Cupid Has Been Cutting Up
More of His Capers.

More of His Capers.
Tickle Cupid cut up capers in Lamoine
last week, and the town is still talking
about it.
few years ago Fred Bean left Lamoine
to seek fortune in the West. Before he
went, he had left the dart OF Cupid, and
Miss Leila Richardson had promised to
share his home when he felt able to set up
such an establishment. Young Bean Sc
cured a good position in Chicago, and a
short time ago he returned to Lamoine to
claim his bride.
Then it was that tickle Cupid began his
pranks. The young lover found that
Lelia's younger sister Edith was more as
he remembered his sweet heart, aud his
affections were transferred to her. Edith
was willing, but her mot her was not, and
insisted on holding the young lover to his
previous love.
But love isn't to be handled by force,
and the result was genuine elopement.
Young Bean went to Bangor last Thurs
day. There Edith met him at the house
OF relatives Friday, and that night they
took the train for Boston, where they
were married on Saturday.

wild Ducks Battle with a Hawk.


A green-winged teal is the heroine OF a
recent story by Ernest Thompson
in Ladies' Home Journal. After her
brood was hatched she started to take
them across a pond. "This was mis-
take" Mr.. Seton-Thompson writes. "For
1t exposed them to enemies. great
marsh hawk saw them, and he came
swoopng along, sure of getting one in
each claw. Run for the rushesl' called
out the mother GreenwiDg, and run they
all did, pattering over the surface, as fast
as their tired little legs could 60"
"'Run! runP cried the mother, but the
hawk was close at hand now. In spite of
all their running he would be on to them
in another second. They were too young
to dive; there seemed no escape, when just
as he pounced the bright little mother
gave great splash with all her strength,
and using both feet and wings, dashed
the water all over the hawk. He was as
tonished. He sprang back into the air to
shake himself dry.
The mother urged the little ones to
Keep onr and keep on they did. But
down came the hawk again; again to be
repealed with shower OF spray. Three
times did he pounee, and three times did
she drench him. Now all the downlings
were safe In the friendly rushes, the
angry hawk made lunge at the mother,
but she could dive, and, giving a good by
splash, she easily disappeared"

Bad Fire at Bucksport.

What was apparently an incendiary fire
destroyed the Delano and Hill store
building at Bucksport early Monday
morning.
The second floor OF the Delano build i
ing was occupied by the owner as a
saloon, and of stock of liquors and
cigars much was lost by fire and through
the voluntary salvage crops.
The first floor was occupied by X. p.
Hartman, job printer, whose damage
will be considerable through water. His
equipment and stock were mostly re-
moved and more or less damaged.
The damage to the next store, occupied
by g. W. Abbott, owned by the N. T..
Hill estate, will be considerable. The
stock was removed considerably wet down
and damaged.
Ames & Co., stoves, etc., was on fire sew
eral times, but was extinguished with
small damage.
The loss of Mr.. Delano and Mr.. Harri-
man will be not far from 81 500, both par
TALLY insured. The Hill building damage
is about 1880, insured for $1,000. ABB
bott's stock was insured for $500, but his
loss will be double that.
During the progress OF the fire a stable
near by, in which was stored quite large
amount of liquor, said to be owned by
Mr.. Delano, was broken into and large
quantity stolen.
Warrants have been issued for the
| arrest Of several persons alleged to have
been implicated, and one arrest has been
made.
