Obituary.
RAYMOND N. HARRIS

1t is with a sad heart that we note the
death of a friend, Mrs. Lottie Leap, vile
of William c. Leap, OF near Penn's Grove.
She had peer a great sufferer since July
when she was operated on i'll the Phila-
delphia Hospital for a cancerous growth.
She bore her affliction we'll and SO patient
ly by the grace Of our Heavenly Father
All the skill of physicians, all the care
that loving hands conld give, could not
restore her to health. She has gone to
her home not made by hands, where
there is no more pain o suffering.
She loved her home. She was a true
wife, a most tender and careful mother
and a loving daughter and sister. In her
last sickness. although not wanting to
leave her little children she could say,
sMy trust is in the Lord. 1t is all
right"
Those left to monrn her loss are a
husband, and two daughters, Helen aged
l6; Marie aged 6 years. They have the
sympathy OF all. She was loved by all
who knew her and will be greatly missed
The floral emblems were beautiful.

Speaker Champ Clark has taken the
pains to put himself right as, to Cana
dian annexation after his earlier un-
fortunate laundering attitude when re-
ciprocity was hanging in the balance
before the Canadian people. In his
late Washington interview he says:
II have frequently, for years, ex'
pressed the hope that there might
I've a union of the two countries by mu-
tual consent and for the good OF both.
1t always seemed to me a friendly sug-
gestion, because We are neighbors OF
of the same blood and speaking the
same. language, but as the Canadians
do not seem to want that, there is an
end of it. What l said at Fremont,
Neb., was in response to a question
from a person in the audience. l said
1 had never thought of anything but a
union of the two countries by mutual
consent. 1 did not say that it is an
issue OF eve will be, but if Canada
were agreeable nine-lenths OF the
people OF the United States would ill.,

John F. Dryden Dead.

John F. Dryden the President of the
Prudential Insurance Company, and a
former member of the U. s, Senate, died
at his home in Newark on Friday of last
week, aged 70 years. He was a farmer
boy from Maine and poor health prohib-
tied him from getting a college education.
He vent into the insurance business in
1866, and his small beginnings grew to be
the great Prudential Company which
does millions of dollars worth OF business
yearly and his amassed fortune is estimat.
ed at 500 900 to $780, OO, 00O.
He was the first to introduce industrial
insurance in America, the model for
which he learned in London. By this
insurance for small amounts thousands
with small means have been taught to
save where they formerly did not do so
and thus had sums of money for their
families when most needed.
With large amounts of money at his
| command he became interested in many
corporations and also influential in the
politics of the State. He was a republi.
can Presidential Elector in 1896-19OO. At
the death OF William j. Sewell in 1902 he
was elected a U, s. Senator. Four years
later the opposition to him was SO strong
that he withdrew and allowed the elect
ion of Senator Frank o. Briggs.
He leaves an immense fortune to his
son Forrest Dryden and his daughter.
Susie, wife of Col. Anthony R. Kuser, OF
Trenton. He leaves also a famous name
in the insurance business which has
taught thousands of poor people to save
even five cents a week and thereby have
a sun of money i'll cases OF death when
most needed.
His funeral was held Monday after
noon, and was attended by many men
distinguished for activity and leadership
in their several walks of life.

t hat passes current in tile place of real
money; a promise TO pay dollars which
is never paid.
The Aldrich plan is 10 have one big
GENITAL bank into which all the small
anks are TO deposit their money not in
us e, and to have that sent where it is
needed. The separate U. S. Treasury
is to be done away with and all ..the
government funds are to be kept in
this big central bank. The govern
ment and other banks ale to quit issu-
ing notes is currency, all OF which are
to be issued from this central bank or
Reserve Association. The stock of
this central bank is 70 be owned by the
separate banks.
The Government is 10 continue the
free coinage, Of gold and silver for
chan &c only. All other currency is to
be issued from the central bank through
the 0,000 separate banks.
The u. s. Constitution says: "Con-
gress shall have power TO coin money
and regulate the value thereof.n The
restriction Of that to gold coin and tie
silver change, which performs a very
small part of the money function,
leaves a large field for the use of bank
notes. Z. e :
For all credit money, used the users
of credit have to pay. The issues of
credit get pay for the service which is
the function Of the government.
The Bankers Association il conven-
ton at New Orleans last week en-
d orsed the Aldrlch currency plan. The
g rangers in session at Columbus, o.,
opposed it. Ones opinions are mostly
formed by the view ONE takes of the
proposition. If M looks at the profits
to be derived by bank stock holders he
will most likely favor the Aldrich plan.
If one looks at it from the broad. gen.
eral view Of the people as a se~if-govern-
ing democracy, to be-governed by the
powers laid down in the constitution
''for Congress to coin money and regu-
late the value thereof" then they are
not likely to favor the Aldrich plan.
The question of who, how and in
what manner the currency necessary
for the exchange of business shall be
issued is a live and growing issue
worthy of study by all citizens.

The AIdrich Currency Plan

Many thought the money question
was settled in 1896 when the free coin
age of silver Oh the same basis Of gold
was defeated and the goId standard
was clinched into law. Ill 1898. The
money question was, settled but there
still is a live issue on currency.
Money may best be defined as . the
standard unit Of account, which is a
full legal tender for all debts public
and private. Currency is that which
passes current as a medium OF exchange
Ill the place of money. Gold is declar-
ed to be the only true unit Of account.
1t is commonly called the S andard Of
value, but Incorrectly 70 because there
is no intrinsic value in gold and the
value of 25.S grams of golu coined into
a dolli + varies like other commodities.
Value is extrinsic. The color of gold
is intrinsic, a component part that can
neither be put in nor separated. See
the difference.
Silver dollars are token money,

to the present coinage, while anyone
who has gold can have it coined into

to call a halt"
OPPOSING INCORPORATION.
The federal incorporation proposition.
was also attacked by Greasy in the fol-
lowing:
WHEREAS there is a movement on foot
to have national incorporation Of corpor-
atoms, doing an interstate business, and
WHEREAS such incorporation would
have a tendency to reduce the revenue of
the various states, and place the control
OF these corporations far away from the
people, thereby making litigation expen-
siye and establishing a new policy, and
believing this to be fraught with much
danger therefore,
"ResdlUed, That we oppose this plan."
The fight to place a progressive upon
the committee on legislation was settled
by placing the power to appoint this
committee IN the hands of National Mas
ter.elect Wilson, and it is understood that
the new master will appease the progress
sives by appointing Greasy, of Pennsyl-
vania. the other members to be Past
