Post. these yellow people have been
recognized as superior in certain lines.
Thus they have remained well up In

formers and jugglers. Some tricks OF
theirs can be executed only by peo-
pie Of their race. A notable one of
this kind is now feature at one OF

Finally they grasp by the hands two

the suits OF clothes will recognize the
order as worth no more than 50. there
| is very serious state OF affairs Tor
the man that works and for every
! body else.
According 10 this theory. there -
but one kind OF a pfomise, 10 pay
money that will at all times and ev'
erywhere be recognized as an order
| for the full value OF its face, and that
is a promise TO pay money or one
precious metal admitted by all men
around the world as standard or
value.
This one such metal at present IS
gold
The reason why there must be only
one metal used as standard money,
and not two metals, Is curious and In
teresting.
In the reign OF Queen Elizabeth
/ there was lord treasurer or England
named Gresham, who was land lsl
supposed TO be a very wise and learn
Sd man. He made some observations
about this tangled subject OF currency
and he concluded that whenever "A
any country. there were two kinds OF
money, one worth more than the other,
the kind that had the less value would
drive out the kind that had the great
er value.
Ever since this has been called
Gresham Law" and having been
verified TO some extent by the expert
ences OF nations II Is still relied upon
as one OF the foundations OF the the
DRY OF the single standard.
Because. II we have a standard
I composed OF both gold and silver eoias
we shall always be exposed 10 the
danger of one kind OF coins becom-
ing less valuable, when they would
drive out the more valuable kind and
the country would go practically upon
! the basis of the cheaper coin as stand
ard money. This would enormously up
set values and cause great losses.
For instance, suppose that TO-DAY
gold Is worth 20 times as much as sill
yer. and we adopt for standard money
gold and silver coins on this basis OF
20 TO /.
Suppose. next, that many new silver
mines are developed and the supply OF
silver is enormously increased, so tha'
the price of silver falls and gold be
comes worth % times much as stl
yer.
Immediately. according 10 this The
DRY. the cheap silver will drive out
the dear gold and in time we should
have only silver
| Then all debts contracted at the
rate OF 90 OF silver to one OF colo
| would be paid in silver worth very
much less and all creditors wouic
| suffer a loss OF part of their property
| Meanwhile. also, as the vast bulk o
business is conducted by means o
promises to pay money. confidence II
these promises would be upset. NJ
one would know exactly how much o
, the products OF labor he could &c

Senator Carmack demanding that in flu
ture his name should not be used in edi-

Il strongly advised against sending the
note, as did his son, Robin Cooper, and
also Mr.. Bradford. believing it might
cause a difficulty. and urged him to take
no notice of the Objectionable editorials.
Col Cooper assured me he would not
send the note and that there would be
nothing more of it.
Robin Cooper left the Maxwell House
