MONEY.
O. 15.
Now let us supf-osj that our stand
ard of value ia t o high, that our
money is too dear, and let as sap
pose farther th-t it shall be reduced
one-half. Thtt would make each
dollar now ia ciica'ation have the
commercial value of only fifty cents.
EachsdjFd cent dollar no .7 in
the hands of the people would be rei
duced in commercial value to a fifty,
cent dollar.
In making thishange of standard
the law would no doubt provide that
no man should be wronged out of
his honest earnings. The law would
no doubt say that the change should
apply to new contracts and not to
old contracts, notes etc. A clause
would no doubt be attached to the
law.naming the basis on which ail
outstanding claims should be settled.
It would no doubt provide
for the payment cf ail dues and
claims on the new basis. All de
posits jli savings and other banks
would have their nominal amounts
doubled. All notes and accounts
outstanding would leave the amounts
for which they called doubled. All
laborers would have their wages
doubled. All clerks would have
their salaries doubled. All fees, all
taxes would be doubled. All prices
would be doubled. A 11 old notes and
ell bonds of long or short standing
would have the r face or nominal
values doubled. All . rates of iuterest
would be doubled. In this way the
law would provide that the holders
of notes and accounts, laborers,
clerks, etc., should not be wronged
out of their just dues. The law
would hardly change tbe standard
without caring for those who are in
position to be wrong- d. To make the
dollavra half doliar, and not make a
huolfredAdollar note become a two
hundred dollar no-e, would be treat
ing the holder of tue note unjustly.
This the law would hardly permit.
The law ?o b juef must not go part
of the way, then stop, but must go
the whole way, so as to include all
kinds of contracts. To allow goods
to be Bold on the basis of 100 cents
to the dollar, and then foree a set
tlement on the basis of 50 cents to
the dollar, without doubling the
merchants account, would be to
wrong the merchant out of one half
of his account' To borrow one hun.
dred dollars on the basis of a 100
cents to the dollar, and force a set
tlement of the note on the basis of
50 cents to the dollar wiuld be to
wrong the creditor out of one-half of
his money. Any governratnt that
would attempt to enforce any eueh
law would lose the cocfil. nee of its
people and would not stand twenty
oar hours.
All debts would be doubled and
would stand fixed in amount, but
how would it be with the prices, say,
of farm products ?
At first they would be doubled. If
cotton hod been seven cents per
pound, the price would be rdiaed
suddenly to fourteen cents. This
doubling of the price waiid tend to
increasing the amount produced.
The amount produced haying been
largely increased the price would
tumble, but the doubled dibts would
not tumble. If a farmer wa3 in deb
and from some cause or orth: r 3ii
not succeed in paying out the first
Tear he would find nimseif . Letily
burdened, if t ot hopeless! v ruin d
The reader who remembers that
the law cannot, be a respector of per
sons will no doubt be ready to ac
knowledge that tbe matter of tam
pering with the standard of value is
one that might bear heavily in differ
ent directions, and wha'. ma appear
on the surface as tendiog to lighten
the burdens of the debtor class might
in reality torn out to be a meaua of
mcreadiDg the loud which that class
has to carry already. If tbe dollar
be cut in two, ceounts and notes
mast be doubled and doubtless
would be doubled by the same law
which cut the dollar in two. Jus
tice wold require thtf it should be
done, and it would done. '
Fortunately for the debtor no such
law will be enacted. The standard
will not be cat 'jaUdle in two, and
account s and notes will not be
doubled. Tbe dollar1 will no doubt
continue to be measured by the just
and honest standard pf 25 8 grams
Of standard gold, All accounts,
notes, bonds, taxes, wages, prices will
- continue to be paid on that basis,
and the country will go on prosper

"John Miller died at DeLamar,

Tbe deceased was a man about 38

No one knew John Miller bat to

Tbe Uoys Tell a Bad Story On theOs
ford .asylnm at Oxford. Can it all
Be Trne ?
Mrs. A C James, of Mt. Pleasant,
was in the city today, to meet her
two little children who arrived on
the noon train from the Oxford Asy
lam.
Arthur and Walter, aged 12 and
9 years respectively, are the names of
the boys. If what they . tell be
true, the conduct of the Ox
ford Asylum needs immediate inves
tigation. The treatment said to
have been giyen these children is not
only not humane, bnt cruel, Aery
cruel.
They claim that they did not get
enough to eat, that they actually
suffered for food. Arthur, accord'
mg to his statement, together with
six others, ran away-six weeks ago.
They went to Youngyille, thirty
miles distant. One of these boys
has been at the asylum for six years
and grew so tired of the treatment
he could stand it no longer. For
five weeks and two days these boys
were away, the authorities knowing
nothing of their whereabouts;
neither were the parents notified of
their escape. Mrs. James knew
nothing of the matter until today.
Hearing that her children were so
dissatisfied with their treatment, she
wrote Mr. Lewrence to let them
come home; whereupon he Bimply
replied that "nothing would please
him better," and instructed her to
get an order from the Master of the
Mt, Pleasant Masonic Lodge.
" Walter's story is a sad one. He's
thin and weak. His arms are no
larger than a grown person's thumb;
his leg3 have dwindled away until
you can reach around them with
two fingers. He's not sick his
eyes are tnght and yet fie s bo
weak he can neither Btand or sit up.
The first thing he said, when reach
ing the parsonage (they stopped with
RtfV. Scherer before going out to Mt.
Pleasant) 'fwont you please give me
something to eat, I'm so hungry."
The little .toy's story (as be lay
there the picture of hunger and
weakness) was indeed a pitiable ose.
He said he was not Bi'ck aDd had
not been; that they didn't give him
enough to eat nor even enough
water to drink.
The Standard does not know
that these boys have told a correct
story, but its reporter gives what
they say, and sees that little Walter,
while not sick, is too weak to walk
or sit up. He said they ate green
fruit and even dried green walnuts
to eat.
Has the Oxford Orphan Asylum
come to. this ? Can all this be true ?
If it is, tiieie must in the name ot
humanity be i.u investigation; if not
Mr. Larence will haye un opportu-
nicy to correct tbe statements that
have been going atound for some
weeks, that do not epeak well of the
institution's management.
The Stakdabd can not believe
that Mr. Lawrence knows thin; if it
existsat all, it must be without his
knowledge.

Ilad a Great Memory.
When Gov. Carr of North Carolina
was a boy he used to go to preaching
Sunday mornings and in the after

plantation would assemble in a grove
near the house and, and young Carr
yvould repeat the sermon he had
heard in the morning, much to the
edification and comfort of the
darkies. Danyille Register.

whether Gov. Carr's sermonettes to

but was very particular- about bis

dollars for a n w set.
After the old man had been laid
out for bnrixl, his brother bitterly
pppoeed putting him away with all
that amount of extravagance in his
month, but his httlo son, the dead
man's favorite and companion, put a
change: in the course of proceedings
by saying that his uncle had told
him tfcat if he ever reached tnat bet

Mrs. Dr. Nraoot Writes About tbe Ox
ford Asylum In an Interesting man
ner Tbe Reports Hast Not be Trne
How Could Ihcy T
Editor of The-Staudaed : Id
the Daily Standard of Sept. 26 1
was shocked to se such an account of
the Oxf ordOrpban Asylum.and while
I am not in the habit of writing
for papers, I shall pnt in a few words
today if yon will allow me space. I
feel it my duty to correct the state
ments of the James boys, because I
taught two years in the Asylum and
know whereof I Bpeak. I do not
know these boys, as they have been
received there since I left last July
a year ago; but I am quite sure they
have sadly misrepiesented Mr.
Lawrence and the institution gener
ally. No doubt they were lonely and
homesick perhaps sick, but we all
know how easily children become
prejudiced and how they can draw
on their imagination.
In the first place. Mr. Lawrence is
not cruel to the children, nor are any
of the teachers or matrons. Mr.
Lawrence is a Christian gentleman
and is as much interested in the
welfare of the many orphans en
trusted to his care as one cas possible
be in any work. I am in direct com
munication with several of the
children and have never yet heard a
word against Mr. Lawrence or his
treatment of them, and they are de
voieu io nis wire also, wno is a
mother to each of them. As to their
not getting enough to eat I contra
diet this too, unless things have
changed very much Bince I left, and
T .1.-1- :e i t - ,.
x Luiim ii auyimng, supplies are
more abundant. The State appro
priates a neat sum annually, and the
Masons (under whose direct super.
vision the institution is conducted)
contribute liberally besides private
donations and their income from the
different departments of the Asylum,
viz : The shoe shop, broom factory,
farm, printing office, etc. "The
Orphans Friend ' at $1.00 per year
with several thousand subscriptions
would alone bring ia a neat little
sum. iheu the singing class trayels
during the summer giving concerts
in all parts of the State often mak
ing as !nnch as $300 or $400 in one
place, Now with all this can the
Oxford Orphan Asylum be in such a
condition as represented by the little
boys ? Even if Mr. Lawrence were
disposed to mistreat the children he
could net do so without being found
out.
The "Advisory Board" contisting
of five or six of the best men of Ox.
ford and Grainville county are right
there to see every thing. And the
Grand Master and Board of Directors
also visit and inspect the whole in
stitntion accounts and all. I am
personally acquainted with the ma.
tron of the boys' building and know
btr to be kind and sympathetic.
The boys all love her and would do
anything for "Miss Maggie." The
children do not have a variety of
edibles at .one time as it wonld be
impossible to prepare bo many differ
ent distes for so many children
(about 225 I think).
They have good, plain, substantial
food, well cooked, and served to all
alike, consisting of nice light bread
which is, by the way, baked by two
boys who were raised there, also
have corn bread, biscuits, batter
cakes, rice and hominy, plenty
of potatoes and other vegetables,
beef or bacon. Never heard of
eating walnuts for they were
quite a rarity when I was there.
'Tis too absurd about not getting
enough water. They have a good
well and system of water works
which certainly afford a sufficient
supply of water for drinking, cook
ing and running tbe laundry. The
tew children who ran away there
were Bent for and brought back. I
do not know that the rule has been
changed. The Oxford Orphan Asy
lum is a grand institution a credit

tie advantages of the children there

they are not only educated, but re
ceive good instruction in hoosekeep.
