Statement of the Silver Question.

combined merits of silver and gold as

mi mediately before the people. It is

circumstances, or suspended until per -

fgold' standard; legally we have a'
double one o! gold and silver. The law
makes a dollar of 412 grams of silver
nine-tenths fine equal, in a debt-paying
capacity, to a gold dollar of to 8-10
grains nine-tenths fine, although the
gold dollar will purchase more than 515
grains of silver bullion of standard
firmness. There is a discrepancy of
more than 20 per cent, here, and in
this difference lies the bone of conten
tion. The supporters of the gold standard
claim that therecan be but one stand
ard; that in obedience to Greshatnfe
law the cheaper metal will i alwajs
drive out the dearer, and that the con
tinued coinage of silver will eventually
drive out tne gold and reduce our
standard 20 per cent, or more in value,
thereby affecting debits and credits ac
cordingly. They claim that to permit
this to take place will be unwise in an
economic sense, and immoral in that it
partakes .of repudiation; that will
separate the basis of our. financial syslxidual in his own estimate, and pln-
tern from that of the other civilized
commercial nations of the world.
President Cleveland, in his message,
shows that his sympathies are very
strongl enlisted on this side of the
question. V.
he supporters of the continued
coinage claim that we are a silver pro
ducing nation and interested in finding
as much use for it as possible; that
there will be no repudiation in coming
to the silver standard, since, with the
exception of about five years, it has al
ways been legal tender. They fail to
see that any disaster will accrue if it is
allowed to prevail, and regard its oppo
nents as in some way influenced in
favor of the rich as against the poor
the capitalists of ihe ast as against
the agricultural masses of the West
and South.

.Let III Be Modest.
By our Regular Contributor
Intellectual modesty is one of the
great wants of the age. Really intel
lectual men are always intellectually
modest. They hesitate to give the
world a great immortal thought lest it
should not benefit and bless mankind.
It is not at all probable that the intel
lectual man will force his opinions up
on his fellow man, so thai he is not to
be feared. He gives the world his
thought, and he patiently waits for the
world to growip to it. He who is to
be feared is the intelligent man, the
man who thinks ke knows it all. and
he knows nothing. You nd this type
of man laying down the law and the
gospel and sometime the gossip in
social circles, at private parties, in the
counting room, at the street corner, or
elsewhere. He is a consequential indi-
ces a high value upon his opinions.
often borrowed, though he seeks to
conceal the generous author of the
same. The class of men who "know it
all" is numerous in every well-regulated
community. In fact they regulate the
community, or think they do, for in
tellectual modesty is not a conspicuous
trait of their character. There are
hosts of sensible men who are intelli
gent in the highest sense, and who are
reserved in expressing their views and
opinions, because they are conscious
that they possess, after all, but a very
small share of the world's intellectual
wealth. These men are to be respect
ed. The great leaders of thought in
these days are singularly modest men,
conscious, also, that they are but stand
ing at the doors of the sacred temple of
knowledge. Whatever may be our
mental possessions, we should all be
intellectually modest. jo man, no

Christmas and the 25th of December.
Harper's Magazine for Dec-ember.
What reason could be given for
choosing one day rather than another
choosing one day rather than another
for the Christmas festival? The gospel,
wriiers always meagre in nates, quite
silent here. I hey gave no hint to the
day or month of the Nativity. Oral
tradition, we may be sure, was equally
reticent or indifferent. There were,
indeed, a few scattered suggestions of
thejhite of Christ's birth floating here
and there among the writings of the
fathers; but these were all of late orig
in, manifestly unhistorical. and above
all, quite contradictory. Clement, of
Alexandria, said that manv Christians
regarded the 20th of May as the day of
iNauvuy, otners preierrea rne iwn or

vember., In the Eastern Church the
5th and 0th of Januarv wen? celebrated
as
tHe date of Christs's baptism, and
the N.itivity was joined with this o.i no
better ground than a forced interpreta-
tion of Ezekiel 1: 3, as a prophecy if
the incarnation. Others again fixed
the 21st of March as the dav of Christ's
birth
Between such varying and slightly
supported assumptions there was little
to choose. A historical date was clear
ly out of the question. Nothing was
left for the church to do but to select
some day on grounds of convenience
and symbolic significance, and celebrate
it by common consent as Christmas
day.
It would take toio long for me to
trace the many reasons which lod to the
;-. f ha OTAh rtf nainU Tl- nrco

duction with the day which had al
ready, been generally accepted as the
common date of the Annunciation and
of the creatien of the world. Assum
ing that the world was made in the
spring, because it was commanded to
bring forth grass and herbs, and that
it was made when light and darkness
were equally divided, tiecause "the
evening and the morning were the first
day," it was natural1, though some
what native, to fix upon the vernal
equinox (according to rne Julian cal
endar 25) as the exact date of the
creation. He who could question the
value of such a straightforward and
S2rip': r .1 argument as this must have
had more logic and less piety than be
longed to the early Christians, and
once having discovered by this easy
method the very day oa which the
world came into being and the glorious
light sprang out of the darkness, what
more simple than to assume that it was
on the same day on which the power
of the Almighty overshadowed Mary,
and the Day-spring from on high be
gan his entrance into the world?
Nothing could be plainer. Even the
Least imaginative of chrono
graphers could reckon forward from
this fixed point of Assumption nine
months, and arrive at December 25 as
the day of. the Nativity. And here
another wonderful coincidence meets
him. This is the day of the winter
solstice, the day when the world's dark
ness begins to lessen and the world's
light to grow; the day which the an
cient wolrd had long celebrated as the
birthday of the sun.
The earliest mention of the 25th of
December as Christmas day is found in
an ancient catalogue of church festi
vals about 354 A. D. And it is sur
prising to see with what alacrity the
date was received and the Nativity
celebrated throughout Christendom.
It seems as if they had been waiting
for this festival of divine and human
childhood, and was ready to welcome it
at once with songs of joy. In the year
300 it was already celebrated in Rome
by vast multitudes thronging the
ch urches. Twenty years later Antioch
had taken it up with greater popular
enthusiasm. And in little more than
fifty years from its earliest suggestion
the observance of December 25th as
the day of Nativity had become the
universal practice of Christians. St.
Chrysostom, in a Christmas sermon
preached at Antioch, called it the fun
damental feast, or the root from which
all other Christian festivals grow.

His Desperate Struggle and how
It Ended.
Just twenty-seven miles from the classic
city of Athens, G,, is located the thriving
little town of Maxey's, the residence of Mr.
Robert Ward, who has jost been released
from a most perilous predicament, the par
ticulars of which he has consented to give
to the public. He writes as follows :
Maxey's, Oglethorpe Co., Oa.
July Mb, 1885.
For twelve or fourteen years I have been
a great sufferer from a tenrible form of
blood poison which ran into the secondary,
and finally it was pronounced a tertiary
form . If y head, face and shoulders became
alinost a mass of corrnption, and finally the
disease commenced eating away my skull
bones. I became so horribly rcpulsi viy hat
for three years I absolutely refused to let
people see me. I used large quantities of
most noted blood remedies and applied to
nearly all physicians near me, but my con
dition continued to grow worse, and all
said that I must surely die. My bones be
came the seat of excruciating aches and
pains; my nights were passed in misery ; I
was reduced in flesh and strength ; my
kidue s were terribly deranged, and life
became a burden'to roe.
I chanced to see an advertisement of
B. B. B., and sent one dollar to W. C.
Bird mi ore & Co., merchants of our place,
and they procured one bottle for me. It
was used with decided benefit, snd when
eight or ten bottles had been used, I was
pronounced sound and well.
Hundreds of scars can now be seen on
me, looking like a man who had been
burned and then restored. My case was
well known in this county, nd for the
benefit of those who may be similarly af
flicted, I think it my duty to give the facts
to the public, and to extend my heartfelt
thanks tor so valuable a remedy. I have
been well for over twelve months, and no
return ot the disease has occurred.

stated by him are true, and that his was
one ot the worst cases of Blood Poison we

REMARKS.
If B. B. B. will cure such terrible cases
as tin above, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that any and all cases of Blood Dis
ease can be cured ? We do not announce
the cure of a man while he is at home
groaning and suffering with the disease.
but all of our certificates are words of truth
from those who have been cured and can
look you squarely in the face and say so
We cure in a shorter time, with less money
and less medicine than ever before known
We will mail our 'Bok of Wonders,"
free to any one, filled with morejistound-
in-4 home evidence than ever before pub
lished. Call on your druggist, or adurefs
