| P. BAIL,
Memorial Day.

Memorial Day in the North and
South fall different dates, but their
object is the same, even though in
one section it is the men who wore
the blue that are specially remem-
bered and in the other the men who
wore the gray.
1t is holy day, day of peculiar
pathos and "reminiscences. Every
thing combines to make it so. 1t
is seen in the fast thinning ranks
of the men who fought so valiantly
nearly fifty years ago, and in the
rapidly increasing numbers of green
mounds in the cemeteries of the
North and South. 1t is also seen
in the memorial character of the
day, in the utterances of speakers
who eXtOl the heroisim and virtues
of both the dead and the living,
and in the reverent and religious
character of the exercises.
1t used to be said with a sneer
that republics are ungrateful, and
that in time the deeds of men who
served them would be forgotten.
As one considers how this country
remembers in practical and beauti-
full ways the heroic services of men
who have shown their patriotism
on fields of battle they see the
falsity of such charge. The
numerous monuments, the care
bestowed upon the cemeteries, the
generous pensions paid the veterans
who survive and the widows of
those who have died, and the an
nual observance of Memorial Day
are the most convincing proofs
that this republic is not ungrateful.
In all this the United States re-
members its dead and living heroes
as no other nation has ever done.
On this day we honor the memory
of those who died for their country
Perhaps there are some who wish
they had lived in those stirring days
of the past, that they too might
have sealed their devotions to their
country by their death. But while
in these peaceful days there is for
tunately no demand for ones death
in order to show his loyalty there
is a constant demand for ones life.
So, then let each prove his unselfish

The National Banks, The Causes
Which Led to Their Establish

ment.
For more than three quarters of
a century the people of the United
States had suffered more or less
continually, and terribly at times,
from the evils of defective bank
ing system. There had been con-
siderable Improvement in the laws
controlling the banks in some of
the states, notably in the state of
New York; but there were some
1000 banks located in all parts Of
the country issuing circulating
notes as money, under the tax laws
of "a different states. The notes
of nearly all of them were always
at discount of from one to fifteen
per cent, or even more, and the
discount was constantly varying.
When the country merchants went
to the cities to buy goods, he must
first go to a broker and pay heavy
discount to get his money exchang-
ed for notes of the city banks,
which were the only currency the
city merchants would receive.
The notes of so many different
banks, all differing in style, and
appearance; many of them printed
on poor paper, and ragged, and
from plates so coarsely engraved
that they were easily initiated and
altered, made the handling of
money, which should be an agree
able operation, a difficult and
troublesome task. The notes of
one sixth of all the banks had been
counterfeited. There were 3,546
kinds of limitations, and large
amounts of spurious notes atioat,
and there were 3,039 alterations of
genuine notes being raised to higher
denominations.
There were weighty reasons why
the states system should be abolish
ed, but so strongly were the exist
ing institutions entrenched behind
capital, and the influence it always
commands, it is doubtful whether
there even would have been better
system established by congress for
the whole nation had it not been
for the great pressure for money to
carry on the war to preserve the
Union. Congress had authorized
the issue of $500, 100000 Of legal
tender notes, and further issues
would be hazardous, as it might
endanger the whole amount in cir
culation of becoming as worthless
as the old Continental notes.
Money is said to be "the sinews Of
war;" and something had to be
done to make brisk demand for
government bonds, or the war
would be a failure for the lack of
means for it's successful prosecu-
ton.

Groceries. to be choice must be
fresh. In order to sell fresh gro
ceries we must keep them contin-
ually moving, buying and selling.
That's just what we are doing.
Therefore our groceries are fresh
and choice in the true sense of the
word. If you are not getting the
best in the grocery line tell us and
we will tell you the reason and how
to overcome it.
