Gold IL q talismanic word in Cuba.
With all its troubles and uncertainties
Cuba never wavered in its devotien to
the gold standard. An artificial pre-
MUM was put upon gold to keepit from
going to Spain. A great transforma-
ton in its money system is coming over
the island. The American invasion Of
peace has practically established :
new standard. the American gold
standard-not the artificial and slightly
varying Spanish gold standard. Our
money was In free circulation all over
the island in February last. Merchants,
ticket sellers on the railroads, and cash.
iers in other places knew just what to
DO when American money was given to
them in payment for value received.
There would be invariably lot of fig
uring on pad-a figuring that could
never pretend to comprehend-but one
always received his change accurately
IN Spanish or American money, as the
case might be. The people preferred
American money, not so much because
1t was gold standard money as be-
cause 1t had an absolutely fixed value.
1t became the standard, and Spanish
gold was adjusted to it day by day.
1t was driving Spanish money out Of |
general use rapidly. -Harper's Weekly. |

FROM FREDERICK.

Mr.. Thomas Kirk, who contem-
plated moving his family to Clay
ton last Tuesday, has decided to re
main in town another year.
Can makers and those dependent
on the canneries for employment,
are obliged to seek work elsewhere,
as none of the canning firms are
having cans made. Neither are
any contracts being made for fruit
or tomatoes, thus the outlook for
work in that line is very poor.
/ Neither has shad fishing been profit
able, as but few have been caught
this spring
Perhaps the much talked-of troll
lev line will cause business to
brighten up and give employment
to laborers for a time.
