The man who says that the money

human nature or the financial history of
this country, knows that the money ques-
ton is not contest between gold and
silver. or between gold and silver on the
one side aud gold on the other. 1t is a
contest between the money power and
the rest of the people. If the money
power is victorious any financial system
that can. be devised will be turned to the
advantage of the money nlagnates, and
against the interests of the people.
When one understands-and who can
deny it?-that that is the best dollar
which changes least in purchasing power,
and that stability in purchasing power
can only be secured by having quantity
of money that will keep in pace with the
demand for money-when one under

Stability of the Dollar.

The difficulty with the advocate of the
gold standard is that he is constantly
measuring an ounce of gold by an ounce
of gold--or comparing one gold dollar
with another gold dollar. The test of a
dollar is in its Purchasing power, and that
dollar most nearly approaches honesty
whose purchasing power most nearly ap
proaches absolute stability. But stability
in the purchasing power of the dollar is
only possible when The supply of money
and the demand for money remain in
exactly the sauie proportion to each
other. An increase in the supply OF
money, the demand remaining the same,
reduces the purchasing power of the dol
lar, while on the other hand, an Increase
in the demand for money, the supply re-
naming the same, raises the purchasing
power of the dollar. As both supply and
demand are subject to constant variation.
it is impossible--or at least has been in
the past--to secure an absolutely stable
dollar.
There has been no change in the weight
or fineness of the gold dollar since 1896,
and yet the increase in the production OF
gold. supplemented by an increase in the
volume of money from other sources, has
reduced the purchasing power of the dol
lar in the United States and raised prices.
To the extent that prices have been raised
by the enlarged production Of gold and
by other increases in the currency. the
affect upon business is exactly the SAME
as if this Increase had come wholly from

pride to rising dollar and claimed that
it brought blessings to the country, now
point to the very reverse condition, name

tenn has been vindicated. Insofar as
the prices have risen as result of an in.
creased quantity of money, bimetallists
have been vindicated and their arguments
verified. 1t mnst be remembered, how

The National Prohibition conventio

The National Prohibition Convention,
in session at Indianapolis last week. NOM
mated for President Rev. DR.. Silas G..
Swallow, 'of Harrisburg, Pa, and for
Vice President DIR. George W. Carroll,
of Texas.
The platform adopted declares that the
destruction of the liquor traffic is and for
years has been the most important ques-
ton in American politics; denounces the
lack of craftsmanship exhibited by the
leaders of the Democratic and Republican
panies in their refusal TO recognize the
paramount importance of this question;
asserts that the liquor traffic practically
dominates national, State and local gov
eminent throughout the nation, aud
pledges the Prohibition party, wherever
given power by the suffrage of the peo-
pie. to the enactment and enforcement
of laws prohibiting and abolishiug the
manufacture. importation. transportation
and sale of alcoholic beverages. The
platform also endorses the initiative and
referendum; international arbitration; the
reform of our divorce laws, and final ex-
tirpation of polygamy, and favors the
election of United States Senators by vote
OF the people.
General Nelson A, Miles, who had
been urged for the Presidential nomina-

OUTLET TO SPRINGFIELD.
Connection Promised With White River Route for Chief City
 of the Ozarks.

Information from Springfield, Mo-, states that Chief Engineer H. Rohwer of the Missouri-Pa- cifc-Iron Mountain, with head quarters at St. Louis, has arrived there with a surveying outfit and that the construction gangs of the company will arrive in a few days to begin work on the road from that city to connect with the White River road, which is now nearing completion.
 This is a matter which has long held fire for one reason or an- other and the fact that the fran chise under which the road was to have been constructed expires December 6 is supposed to have spurred the company to extra effort to begin the work before that time. There is little reason to doubt that the work will be pushed to an early completion.

FOREST FIRES HAVE
 PROVEN BENEFICIAL.
Will Improve General Health of Section By Destroying De-
 caying Vegetation.

North Arkansas is having the first general forest fires since 1884," says H. L. Floyd of Law renee county, who was in Little Rock Tuesday, says the Gazette.
 There is an old saying that every cloud has it's silver lining, and that it's an ill wind that blows good to none. It is true that the forest fires have proved destructive and that many farm CTS have lost much fencing, and l in some instances outbuildings. It is figured, however, that the country will be better off after all for the reason that the flames 1 in the woods have destroyed a vast amount of decayed vegeta- tion, the accumulation of seven- teen years. The result of this will be helpful to the health ot humanity.
 Simultaneously, the fire has destroyed insects without num- Der and smoked out wolves and partners so that these 'varmints' can be killed and their scalps made source of profit. One of the most serious phases of the long dry spell, the underlying cause of the forest fires, has been the scarcity of stock water. It was feared that this would event. ually result in the loss of much live stock; but there is water enough in the country. The trouble and inconvenience of get ting the stock to the water or the water to the stock furnish the cause of actual complaint"

SHERIFF SUES FOR $15, ,0OO.
Papers Filed Monday at Bates vile in Heavy Damage Suit Against the Little Rock
 Democrat.

Sheriff J. A. Kaneaster of h. dependence county was here Tuesday and informed the Inde- pendent reporter that he had filed suit in Batesville Monday against l.. A. Watson and the Arkansas Democrat Company of Little Rock for $15,OOO as damages for the publication of the article in Saturdays issue, claiming Crosby was dead when hung.
 Dr. Kennerly of Batesville says that he did not tell Watson, the correspondent who wrote the article, that Crosby would die within an hour, and Sheriff Kaneaster says he would never have consented to the hanging of dead man,
 The papers were served upon Watson in Batesville, hence the suit will come up in the Indepen- dence circuit court. As the sheriff is the plaintiff in the suit the case will probably be sent on a change of venue to some other county in the district, and it would probably fall to Jackson.
 Watson, itseems, was travelling for whisky house and repre- senting Eastern papers when converted here at the street meeting of Charles Crittenton. He joined the evangelist and at Batesville visited Crosby at the jail. Just how he came to be corresponding for the Democrat is not known.

LINEN SHOWER
 PRE-NUPTIAL EVENT.
Complimentary to Miss Elizabeth C. Watson at Home of Mrs. o. s. Lawrence Tues
 
 day Afternoon.

Mesdames o. s. Lawrence and I. w. Stephens entertained with a linen shower Tuesday after noon at the beautiful home of the former on Hazel street in honor of Miss Elizabeth Caldwell Watson, a lovely compliment to the fair bride-to-be, whose popu- larity was well attested in the number of handsome pieces of linen of which she was the re- cipient at this happy pre-nuptial event.
 The Lawrence home is elegant ly furnished, but even it's beauty was enhanced by seasonal deco rations, the large reception hall being done in bright hued holly, with here and there vases of car nations and Mareschal Neill roses.
 The dining room had not been neglected by the tasteful decora- tor, for in the center, table of snowy linen presented a most inviting scene. A vase of yellow roses graced the center and from it's base to the chandelier ran red ribbons and to the four corners of the table long leaves of sword fern reached out to miniature wedding bells.
 Here an elaborate luncheon of three courses, consisting of chicken salad, sandwiches, olives, French peas, pineapple ice, coffee, salted almonds and pep permints, was nicely served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. J. H. Abrams, Misses Madie Ste phens and Minnie Lee Jago.
 The event of the afternoon was the shower of many pretty pieces of linen from the hands of friends upon the honoree as she. stood beneath large umbrella in the spacious hallway. They came in a veritable downpour and con- sisted of towels, table cloths, handkerchiefs and aprons.
 COSTUMES WORN.
