Watton, of Winston, l.as a clear conception of tlio under lying cause of tlio fieo silver move ment Ho said in an interview several weeks ago : Tlio strength of free silver in this: Tlio millions of tlio Agricultural classes eco the c-reat reduction in values in the past i'cw yenr, especial ly in tlio values of farming hinds and agricultural products. The merchants anil tlio manufacturers realize the inability of the agricul tural population to buy their pro ducts and commodities, and they are willing to risk free silver, at leant Ion,; enough to see if it will restore prices to tlio old figures. Tho country requires a stuto of atUirs that will make property sought after, instead ot money and interest-bearing securities. it is tho loss ot confidence in property and tho value of property that is cursmtr tlio country. Wre have not seen a moio sensible utterance upon tho financial Ues- tion. A sound dollar is not tho only sound thinir the country needs. The people want sound wages, sound prices for their products, and above all, a sound reason for the present state of alfairs. Tho gold standard argument breaks down right here. Tho people see every thing going down but the dollar. They are determined to seek the paths of tho fathers, from which tho country lms wandered to its sorrow. Mr. Watson puts tho whole case in a nutshell when ho says that we need a policy that will mtkn prop erty sought after instead of money. That's it exactly. Property has depreciated wofully. The poor fel low who is in debt and his tribe is numerous is catching it hard. God pity tho man whoso property is forced on the maiket these days. Said a huge property-holder tho other day : "Freo silver may not bo tho thing tho country needs, but I am in lavor of trying it. It can't make things any worse than they are. If a farmer owes a thousand dollars, he can't pay it to save his life." Then he cited tho 6alo of a town lot recently for $21)0 that brought $S00 h few years ago. Uut tho laboring man's dollar bins more now tln.n it ever did, the gold-bugs tell us. J'ut uhere is his dollar ? Labor must be paid out of, what it produces, and with that j product depreciating in value, wages must go with it. That is just what hs happened in lloidsville, Dan ville, Win6ton and elsewhere. Our manufacturers have been forced to cut waes and even with that aro notable to give steady employment. How is it with farm labor!

Iieideville Weekly. -- Seen of Men, Some philosopher has observed that "a man sometimes obtains a reputation for being close because lio pays all his debts and hasn t any money left to get a reputation with for being liberal." Wo all know tho folks who get a reputation for liberality by subscribing largely to all benevolent purposes ihh never pay tho subscriptions ; and we all snow others who subscribe liberally and pay but pay with somebody else's money that is, with money they honestly owe. They are seen ot men and applauded while often tho fellow who pays his honest debts and therefore has little to spare is called a skin Hint because ho doesu t defraud his neighbors by giving money away that ho owes to them, fiut such is iiie. flic btates villo ijuid'nark says it, and it is so.

McClure'i Explanation of the Meaning of Bimetalism, Gold Standard, free Coinug snd 16 to t, Culilisiied by Iteiiucst. Himotullisin is the uso of the two chief precious metals, silver and gold ns a uouuio standard currency Tho gold dollar and tho silver dollar aro mado legal tender by tho govern ment, and thus, by tho action of tho government, mado of equal value regard los of tho vnrianco in the in trinsic value of tho coin. Our trnld dollar has novor vnried in value for tho reason that il has been tho slnn dard of value, not only hero but throughout all nations of tho world, and a gold coin is stamped by every government that creates it with its actual vuluo. Thero is, therefore, no variation in tho vuluo of a gold com in any country 01 the world. Our silver dollar is intrinsically worth today about 53 cents, but it is mado worth 100 cents ty tho fiat ol the govcrnnionl, and tho law re quires that the government shall maintain the equal value of tho two coins, ho nml uio government i practically compelled to redeem tho liosp silver dollar in gold whenever it is ijcmauuou. Hub government lins maintained bimetallism, or Iho doublo etundard f gold and silver, since it was found ed. In i;92, when tho I'nitod States mint was authorized, gold coin pre eisely tho same value a our coin of to-day was authorized, and silver dollars wero authorized on tho Ixim of 15 to 1; that is 15 ounces of silver wero required to mnko tho sanio number of dollars coinod from one ounce of gold. lloth wore mado legal tender, and their valuo was at that timo about equal. Silver slightly declined in valuo and tho gold dollar was intrin sically worth more than the silver dollar, although both wero legal louder: b'H tho cheaper money was forced into circulation; tho moro valuable dollar was withdrawn, and in lsOt! President Jefferson stopped tho coinngo of tho silvor dollar bo- causo it had driven gold entirely out of our circulation. In 1 S3 t another effort was mado to mnko a moro equitable double standard, and tho coinngo of silver dollars wns niilhorizod on tho basis of 1 5 to 1; that is 10 ounces ol silver to coin os many dollars as would ho coined from ono ounce of gold. Soon Ihoiehilor tho silver dollar became moro valuable than tho gold dollar by reason of the increased prieoof silver, and tho silver dollar was re tired from circulation, ns it could ho urchasod by silver manufacturer in coin cheaper than it could bo pur- based in bullion. 1 hat was Iho second effort of tho government to re establihh bimetallism or a doublo standard that could maintain itself. Tho silver dollar was practically unknown in our circulating medium from a period soon after tho act of ls;i4 until 1873, whon 10 ounces of silver continued to bo worth moro than ono ounce of gold. Had silver lollnrs been providdd for at In to 1 by tho act of 1873, they would not havo circulated, because moro valu- ablo than a gold dollar. .As tho sil ver dollar had not been in circulation for nearly forty 3-oars, it was dropp- ol from our list of authorized coins in the act of lis?3 with the next to universal consent of congress and iho country. Indeed, it had been nutuully dropped from tho coinage laws twenty yours earlier. .soon atior is, 3 the immense pro- Uielion of silver greatly reduced its commercial valuo, and thon the sil ver producers of iho country do mandod tho return to silver coinage on the basis of 16 to 1, as It) ounces of silver wero then not equal to ono ouneo of gold, and tho silver pro ducers would profit by the sulo of thoir product to tho government. In 18,8 the policy of the silvorites prevailed, and silver dollars wore coined in largo sums unlit wo ag gregated somo S5UU,0o0,00), which to day aro worth less than J. 100,000,- i)t)0 in fact, and tho silver coin and bullion owned by the government is j now worth nearly 8100,000,000 leos than the government paid for it. Wo are maintaining bimetallism ani the doublo standard to-day by tho government stamping its tint of 100 cents of valuo upon a 53 cent dollar, and the government practi cally pays tho ditferenco in gold. Tho gold standard of money is a policy thut requires all other money than gold to bo redeemed in golf, and therefore equivalent to gold in value. The United Slntos maintains the gold standard, rtnd redeems its 53 cent silver dollars practically in gold when domandod, and redeems all its paper of every shade and kind in gold, and pays a 11 its bonds and other obligations in gold when re quired. In M exico, China, Japan, India and some smaller governments, they havo the silver standard, and thu silver dollars of thoso countries, al though containing from 4 to 6 grains of silver more than tho American dollar, circulate in their own coun tries and in all oilier countries ui a value of about 55 ceuis. Tho free silver standard countries circulatu thoir leg:d tender at its intrinsic valuo. Free coinage, as defined by a bill now pending in tho United Slates senate in shape of an amendment to the houso tariff or revenue bill, means simply this thai ihe man who produces or owns 5:1 dollars' worth of silver bullion muy deliver il to any United States mint (or free coinage, and receive therefor 100 legal lender dollars. In other words, ihe government by freo coin age would be compelled lo buy all the silver roduce 1 al neai ly double iis market value, by ittiuii g in pay ment of ihe same legal tender dol lars, worth iniriusici lly but 53 eenU, bat which the government must mtke good lor 100 cents in gobt The 10 to 1 basis means simply this that 10 ounces of silver shall produce in our eoinago tho same num her of dollars that ono ouneo of gold will produce. If tho motnls were coined according to ihoir intrinsic vtluc, it would now requiro over 30 ounces of silver to produeo the same number of dollars coined from ono ouneo of gold. Sii' h, in brief, is tho explanation of the legal and practical jncaning of tho four money terms referred to by our correspondent. - - To Exclude the Negro Laborer, A few days ngo tho colonists of tho town ol Fitzgerald in the state of Gc.irgia, hold a meeting, 300 be ing presoui. A resolution was passed unanimously culling on tho entire popu ation to exclude negroes from the c lony.

The war of words which is go ing on as to whether we shall maintain tho gold standard, or go over to the silver standard, has no meaning for a clear brain. The redemption of greenbacks with borrowed gold at the rate of J 180, 000,000 a year, shows in fact that our legal business standard is fiat paper. How can gold be our standard of payments when it cannot be demanded in payment except from the (tovernment? The very banks which are crying importunately for tho mainten ance of the gold standard, mean by it only that the Government shall pay gold to the banks for their greenbacks. lne banks themselves selfishly cling lo the "fiat money" basis, on all that they aro liable for to depositors. If the banks want sound money and a gold standard, they can get it at once by recognizing gold on all their obligations, paying gold at once themselves for all green backs and thereby ending the run on the treasury. If they are afraid to pay gold, and mean by "gold standard only that the Government shall pay gold to them while they pay only fiat money to others, i. e., to the mer chants who need gold for export, as they have been doing for four years past, then they are no true advocates of "sound money." They want the Government to tread the wine press of the gold standard alone, while they pay in that species of "rag money, ' whose redundancy in volume.they say, excites tbe distrust ot the world s financiers. We have now been out of the war for thirty years, and sixteen years of that thirty the Govern ment has been the only party in the country from whom gold could be drawn. The banks and exchanges talk "gold" but pay "fiat." The Treasury must be relieved of its burden of supplying gold for commerce from the revenues drawn from the tax-payers. Such a process is confiscation and not "honest money, it is "hat wind and not sound currency. From Editorial Crucible, in Gunton's Magazine. Dyspepsia Twenty-Five Years. Mr. A. V.
