C THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. 1895. WHOLE NO. 337 The Standard. MONEY. JSO. 13. Aristophanes, of Athens, was the first to notice that where two kinds of money, the one of less yalue than the other, mere in circulation, the cheaper would drive oat the dearer. CojienxiciJS, of Poland, noticed the same thing, and Sir Thomas Ores ham, of England, in the time of Qaeen Elizabeth, about three hun dred years ago, observed the same fact The law is called GreBham's law, and as usually stated is, "when two sorts of coins are current, of like yalne by denomination, but intrin sically, that which has the least value will be current, a ad the other, as much as possible, hoarded, or ex ported." The law is more briefly stated thus: "Bad money always drives good money out from circulation." If tilt re were two 6orts of money in ciralation, the one cheap and the other dear, all payments of taxes, interest, notes, accounts, checks, etc., would be matte wkh the cheaper money. Suppose that one dollar of the better were worth two dollars of the worse kind, i.o payment would be made with the better money, be cause the bettor could De used to buy enough of the cheaper to satisfy the claim. No man would pay a hundred dollars of the better money when he con id take fifty doh lars and purchase one hundred dol lars of the worse kind in order to make the payment. No man would take his best cow to pay his tax, when the scrub would be received in payment at the same nominal value. It ia for this reason that the double standard cannot be maintained, un lessUhe two standards are very near ly, if not absolutely equal. It is said that one-tenth of one per cent, difference is enough at times io drive the better money out of circulation. One-tenth of one per cent, is one dollar in the thousand, nine hun dred and ninety-nine dollars of the dearer being equivalent to one thous and dollars of the cheaper money, the per cent being reckoned on the cheaper. In order to help clear up this part of the subject, I will ask the reader a question : Have you ever sen any person that wanted mossy ? Con gressmen and Unite! States Sena tors say the people waDt more money, The newspapers are full of the same assertion every week. Speakers have been invited to go hundreds of miles to tell the people that they wanted money, and more nojy, oo. In every neighborhood thvie ar? peo ple calling for more money. This doubtless confirms yon id the belief that the people want more money. ' And yon may think that you, your self, want more money. However natural this supposition may be. to you it is not quite correct.-' You do not wrnt mouey, and - jou have never seen any one that -'-f- did want money, nor do I know nat you ever will see ene. , This is a re markable world. Many strange and curious things happen, aud in noth ing are we so likely to be deceived as in regard to this subject money. In our search for the truth w, too, oten find ourselves beset by obstacles. Our vision is too often obscured by the dazzling brilliancy of gold bugs. Our hearing is too ofteu rendered indistinct by the hnmmiuj; c-f hum bugs and the buzzing of political bees. With obscured eyesight and indistinct hearing, it is imj-ObSille to study the subject. Our prejudices, At we have any, must be laid aside. The bugs and the bees must be driven away before impartial and satisfactory knowledge can be ob tained. With all these obstacles out of the way you are prepared to see and know thai even you your self do not want money, and that you haye never seen any one that did want it. What is wanted is not money, but what money will get. That is not all, yon want all that it will bring yon. Yon will use it so as to make it bring yon the greatest possible amount If yon have cheap dollars and dear dollars, and the cheap dollars will pay your taxes, and will pay as much debt as the dear dollars, yon will spend yonr cheap dollars, and convert yom dear dollars into cheap dollars before spending them Yon will uncon sciously act according to that never varying and unchangeable law, called Gresham's law, which always asserts itself when the conditions fayor. The cheap money will be the standard, and all transactions whether they be cash or time trans actions will be made on the basis of the cheaper money., ' ... ' ' '.i :.'. "y Satigst.

City of Tegucigalpa Trembling- Hundreds 1b in Sarreundina; VaanUius Killed -Flames htaeot l'p From Volcanoes to a Fearful Height Toe Wildcat Ksei omen. Tegucigalpa., Sept 12 Earth' quake here. Three hundred people killed; property loss $750,000. A courier arrived yesterday from Ge agan and announced the most terrible earthquake ever known in that section. The loss of life and property is enormous. Three hundred people are said to haye periled. On Sunday the shocks commenced, lasting all day and night at intervals, causing much damage, and the greatest fear among the inhabitants of the city and neighborhood. By Monday the city was filled by an addition of thirty five hundred people from the Mountains and ontlying Tillages. During Monday night, sheets of flames appeared at different points to the northwest, rising to immense heights. Tuesday morning the shocks ceased, quiet was restored and people left town for ' their homes. At 9 o'clock that night, however, heavy rumbling noises were heard, shortly after followed by a reappearance of the flames in the mountains, which shot up several hundred feet Frightened people again flocked to to town and at mid-night the church tower fell, carrying with it the roofs of three houseB. Nine people were killed and 18 wounded. Ilnmbling which sounded like the heaviest cannonading commenced and lasted over an hour and a half, the people rushing madly through the streets, praying and crying. JuBt before daylight another pro longed shock, which is variously cal culated to have lasted from two and a quarter to three minutes, rocked the whole town as if it were a cradle. Many fleeing people were killed by rocks which fell in in a perfect shower like a hail storm. Smoke from the mountains to the north, west rose to an enormous height, fol lowed shortly after by the bursting of flames from the mountainside and the throwing out of recks and lava. Shortly after streams of molten lava set fire to a number of houses on the mountainside. Cattle grazing near by fled and were killed, being en gulfed in the laya, which continued flowing in immense streams. It is reported at Yetapan, that 71 houses were destroyed. One hun dred aud fity-three dead bodies have been recovered there and many more a e missing. At Covsiuanoa, 37 nooses were destroyed. Ninety-five hodit s were recovered. At Cavusoal 29 houses were destroyed and a hun dred and eleven, bodies were re covered. L. is impossible yet to give a full account of the disaster, Many small settlements are believed to have oeen destroyed. Shocks ex tended over the whole Yetapan chain an flames are seen also in the Facaya mountains. The : shocks have now ceased but the smoke is still discernable at different points in the mountains. It is feared that the end is not yet The disaster at Yetapan is much worse than at first reported. The number killed in the towns and mountains, as far as ascertained, amounts to two hundred aud eighty seven, ine property loss is calcu lated at over $600,000. The goyerni uiesii is doinv all possible for the v otin-.a. Slight shocks continue, causing damage to property though not to life. Two former extinct volcanoes are now throwing- lava though in small quantities. Night shows lurid flames to immense heights and a stream of lava is now running into the abyss. It is cal culated that over 1,800 cattle are killed. Troops are scouring the country for fugitive victims. A Preacher Locked oat.' : An exerienoe ot being locked out or his own home, seldom occurs to a man bearing the title of reverend, but Rev. W O Alexander went through the trying ordeal on Thurs day, when he had left his door key in his "other pants." His family is away from home, and after changing his raiment, passed through the door and locked it from the outside leav ing his keys behind. A hatchet was nsed as a means to gain entrance, when the discoyery was made that his key was on the inside. How it la Done in High rolnt.

Coleman in a Joke. Esq. Coleman, Cabarrus county's wealthiest colored man, has been do ing lots of travel for several weeks in the interest of the colored ex hibit at the Atlanta Exposition. He has been enthusiastic and energetic. Nearly every paper coming to us this week contains an item about his presence and efforts. In fact Esq, Coleman's name has been mentioned of tener in one week than our repre sentatives and Senators were in the last legislative gathering, cut we started to reproduce what the Wades boro Intelligencer had. - The In telligencer says : "W C Cole nan, of Concord, the wealthiest co'ored man in the State, was here last week in the interest of tbe colored exhibit at the Atlauta Exposition. Coleman is so nearly white that no one who does not know him would for an instant suspect that negro blood flows in his yeins, and for this reason, Eaph, the Na tional Hotel porter, cannot be blam ed for carrying hina to the hotel and offering him the best the house af forded. It was at night and the proprietor, Mr. Smith, was not pres ent. Coleman humored the joke until Eaph had assigned him a room,' and then he informed the surprised porter that it was not customary for negroes to be entertained at hotels in this State, and therefore he would have to ask to be directed to the home of Elder Settle, of the colored Methodist church." Senator JTarvla Writes a Letter. Senator Jarvis writes a letter to the Raleigh News and Observer. He explains his position one between the Populists and gold bug Demo crats. Mr. Jar vis says : "When the pa pers get through vexing themselves over my Morganton sprech, I will deliver another one oa the subject: There are two things needful to the enduring prosperity of the South bimetallism and good gov eminent, State and municipal neither of which is tbe Republican party able to furnish." ie m tt An Old Same.

But they were disappointed in that respect, for the men were peaceable tourists, en route from Monteral, Canada, and were on their way to Texas and Mexico, via the Atlanta Exposition, on horseback, and after assuring the curious people who were watching them, that they were not desperados, they passed through town, wending their way eastward, going out the Charlotte road.

Not a few have noticed the danger there is in haying no side arm to the bridge that crosses the Big Cold Water stream on the Mt. Pleasant road. On the right-hand side going east the arm is partially down, and on the other side the lumber is rot ten and can't last long. - It stems, too, that the water which stands in great pools on either side of the bridge in the road is stagnant The water should be drained off and the road bed raised. Another Boiler Explosion. Sheriff John A Sims has just re ceived a letter from Mr. R S Sloan, formerly of this county, who writes from Eureka, Texas, his home. He tells of a boiler explosion there. Two men (brothers) were instanly killed and buried in the same grave. The boiler was thrown through the building, going through nineteen 2x12 joice and tearing up floor and press and striking the ground 305 yards from the foundation and re. bounding went 80 yards further be. fore coming to the ground. ; Mr. Sloan adds that the crops are a failure, especially cotton and corn. The price of cotton runs from 7 to 71; and corn from 18 to 20 cents. This accident in it extent to re turn, seems al-noet incredible, bat Mr. Sloan is perrectly reliable and is a high-toned, Christian gentle man. 4 - t Bad Blood May Again Bestirred Vp, The Sta'esville Mascot makes I reference to the bad blood that ex ' ieta in Lexington. Let us all hope that the end ia already . here. The Mascot says this : "The defendants, Baxter Shemwell and Dr. Lee Payne, appeared last week at Davidson court and submit ted for an affray with deadly wea pons. This was the eh-oting "affair in the morning, and for which they were bound over to court just before the killing. The judgment in the case was suspended on the payment of the cost, the Judge remarking that tbe whole case had been inves tigated fully and Shemwell acquit ted and that Payne had suffered ia the loss of hia father, therefore he would auspend judgment. The cost in tbe Shemwell murder trial will hardly be led8 thaa $3,000. The County Commissioners have refused to pay it, and haye employed Lee S Overman, of Salisbury, to resist its being adjudged against the county. ine feud between the Shemwell and Payne factions has not subsided. Dr. Lee Payne, it ia said, has asked the foreman of the jury twice which tried Shemwell how much money he got for rendering his verdict. This sets the factorial hot blood going, and the end of the Shemwell case ir not yet. There is also talk of a damage suit by the jury against Payne for having this talk." Haselnut Trees.
