deal towards relieving the misery
and desolation of these good people.
Surely the people of Sumter will not
fall behind in doing their share in
this good work.

The Dependence Of Nations upon Gold
as Medium Of Exchange Set up as
Cause for Depression.

Editor Item.
Kindly allow me space for an an
swcr 10 the general inquiry as to tho
present staGnatiOn i'm business. First
let me remind your readers that dur
ring Cleveland's administration con-
gress adopted the gold dollar as the
standard of value: that is, the value
of the dollar fixed price, not value, Of
everything offered for sale. Thus, if
we offered to take 10c for cotton and
India offered to take 1-2c that coun-
try needing the gold we would be out
hidden and the gold would be shipped
to India. Hence it is that nations
acquire the "superstitiOus substance"
by undertaking other nations Thus
any disturbance in financial circles
abroad, If Of sufficient magnitude
would drain our country of gold, and
as our paper money has to be re-
deemed in gold each week our money
supply at once is reduced to the panic
line. This gold is kept in bars and
shifted from one nation to another
thus keeping up the att-ition Of man.

ntiOn to work for less wages than
those Of another in order to bring the
gold back to the vaults of the bank

cnt disturbance i'm Europe commenced

Then occurred the destitution of hum

who happened to be abroad when the
war began. Although they had an
abundance Of money II home and let

banks over there refused to furnish
the gold. The price Of cotton was af-
fccted i'm the same manner for after
refusing to swap money with the
tourists there was no thought Of
sending gold to America for cotton.

cradle sneak thief, without friend

What did you do it for, Hogan?"
they asked him afterward. And HO-
gan answered that he had never told
lie and was not going to begin.
That was the beginning of the boy
colt. But there were worse things
than that. Hogan could never be
sure, when he went to his cot in the
station house, that he would not
wake to find himself on the floor,
with the bed legs sawed through. Or
that his locker would not have been
broken into. Or that his uniform
would not be a mass of tattered rags.
Or his white helmet painted green.
Or his gloves fngeTless. Or some
thing worse.
He meant to stick it out for Nora's
sake. Nora was to arrive from Ire
land the following month, and they
were to be married at once. If he
gave up-he did not know what sort
of job he would be able to get. It
would mean, not only the postpone
ment of their marriage, but career
spoiled.
Hogan was thinking all that over
as he went on duty. James, who pa
troIled to his corner on the avenue,
had been a good friend to him in the
first days of his duty, when he was
green patrolman, but there were no
more friendly chats on the street cor
ner when the men met on their pa
troll. James passed him as though
he did not see him. Who was going
to speak to Hogan, except on mat
tiers of duty. Who would be seen
talking to a "squealer."
Hogan resumed his solitary beat.
He was walking with squared shout
ders and trying to look his future in
the face. He knew that it would take
