(TLenever there is a proposition
t increase the volume of the cur
rency by the coinage of more sil
ver or by repealing the tax on
State banks to opeh the way for
the establishment, the cry is rais
ed about "cheap money,"' "infla
tion," &e., both of which are terms
that really mean nothing as ap
plied to this country.
Inflation is a comparative term.
An increase in tin; volume of the
currency, although it might be
lan?e, does not necessarily be no
inflation no matter how large the
volume of the currency may be
while there is use for it. It is
only when there is more money
than there is any profitable use for
that there can be inflation, and
this country never has had and
probably never will have more
money than it could use and use
advantageously. If every ounce
of silver taken out of our mim-s
which can be spared from the arts
in which it is used were coined, t
would not make money so plenti-l
tul that it could not be profitably
used m developing the resources,
in building railroads, constructing
canals und in estaMishirg indus
tries in this wonderfully endowed
land of ours. There has been, is
and may be too little money, but
thp , milt, ,iirwr r,f

being too much, which is what is
generally understood by inflation.
"Cheap money'' is another of
the deceptive, catch phrases that
is used to play upon the fears of
the timid or the selfiso who shrink
frcm the agitation of financial
vuestions as though they were
loaded and dangerouo Theie i
not and never has been that thing
called "cheap" money. In this
, . " . , . T L ' ,
lar or its equivalent buys more la
bor, or more of the products of la
bor than it is worth ; and hence it
is that the majority of men are
poor and the smaller number rich.
The interest on one thousand dol
lars will buy tlie labor of an ordi
nary laborer for a year. In ther

producte of labor that are cheap,
not money.
They talk about a sixty fiv
called fifty
hundredth of that so
cent dollar will buy a bushel of I
wheat. Is it because the money
is cheap or depieciated that it
buvs so much wheat or because
wheat is cheap or depreciated ? It
is the men who own the monev
who fix the pric-s oflabor. of t lio
products of labor and of every -
thing that enters into the markets
to be exchanged for money, and
the only effect t hat an increase of
the volume has is that by increas
ing the ability of those who have
it to buy they become more liber
al in their offers, competition isj
stimulated and the prices of labor
and tlie products of labor go up,
but not sufficiently to make mon
ey "cheap,"' for in the years of the
very highest prices in this country
the laborer never received more
than his labor was worth, nor the
frmor more for the products of
his toil and fields than they were
worth.
What they really mean by
"cheap money' if they mean any
thing, is when money is so plenti
ful that the man who owns it can
not get a high rate of interest for
it. The best condition of things

From an eye-witness we have it
that Hoi English was hanged in
Mitchell county two weeks ago by
a boy named Bob Carroll, who was
under 13 years of age. Bob is a
brothed to English's late wife,
whom he murdered.

from Bakersville, about 3:30 Sun
day morning they halted, ordered
little Bob to ride up under an ap
ple tree, and English's fe?t were
tied toother, he still sitting on
:he mule beside Bob Carroll.
They then gave Bob the rope
made of hemp grass and told him
he must hang English. The boy
tied the rop-3 to a limb hanging
above his head, and holding the
other end in his hand, said : "Now,
Uncle Hoi., I am going to tie thejpe0pe thtm tne name of Zebulon

nivceeded to do so. j To the geut'e woman, his -om-

and he and Bob still sat on the

crowd commanded-: "Bob, spur

Bob spurred the mule and left

the air between the limb of the
tree and the ground.
