but they never could pro
cure the maximum coinage authorized
under the Biand-Allison a.-t.nor an ex
ecutive enJorcementfeot’ the plain letter
of the Sherm in law. At any rate the gold
standard was not established bylaw
when the present administration as- ;
sumed office.
Those nearest the administration say
that our present stock of silver coin is
not demonetized, but further coinage
suspended under the Presidents con
struction of the Sherman Law, He
holding that the way to redeem
the promise of parity is to relinquish
the option of its treasurer to redeem in
either m •! acknowledge the debase
ment of silver and knock itdowu at the
demand of speculators, who raid the
treasury for gold and as the classes
whom Mr. Cleveland regards as the
people want no more silver, he thinks
enough ha s been coined and declines
to execute that part of the Shermin ■
law which plainly authorizes coinage i
of the semorage and enough of the bid- |
lion, from time to time, to redeem the!
notes issued for its purchase. If thesingle
gold standard exists it is due. to execu
tive construction and Ins no foundation
in statute. The pres:dent's determined
efforts to have the expiring congress y
authorize gold bonds, betrayed some
misgivings in his own mind as to the
gold standard being either accomplish
ed or settled. In 1592 the people out
raged at the republican c instr iction of
the Sherman law, more loudly than
ever demanded free coinage. Both
great parties recognized that a major- !
ity of the .American people desired bi -!
metalism, by propitiating that iem ind
•in their platform; and even pop u
lism so garnished the outlandish con
glomeration of schemes in their screed,
by the one saving article in favor of bi
metalism as to secure a million votes. ,
Honest demoerats are madder.than any
body, because they feel that they have
been betrayed, and as they respond at
the ballot box to the administration
campaign of education, the single gold
standard will look decidedly unsettled.
If the coinage is restored at the ra
tio of 16 to 1, will we not have two va
rieties of silver money? And will the
government not be oound to in
, .gold the silver coined under the pur- !
Chasing acts?
We would have three issues of silver,
one coined under the Bland Allison act,
one under the Sherman law and one '
under the people's law of free and .
unlimited coninage, but there would
be no difference between them. Al- ,
ways determined since 1873, ,on final
ly restoring free coinage, the dem- :
oerats drove out the sb ort lived bastard I
trade dollar and inboth compromise act;,
they secured their contention for the i
standard dollar which has not been
changed since Jefferson reccominendeu
it and congress adopted it as the unit
of value. Under the two purchasing
acts it is a full legal tender, and will
need no redemption from go d, when
free coinage is resumed, but will nat
urally fall right into line and enjoy ali
the benefits and privileges promised
by resored coinage to what little silver
in sight and I hope millions of
silver yet unmined. For ' purpose of
intimidation we are told the
rich hold the g-old and gold certifi
cates, while the currency left in
of the hands of the common
people is silver and silver certificates.
This assortiment of the money is I
effected by the sagaeit of the i
monied interest in apprehension
of free coinage which they
predict will result in fifty cent silver
dollars. Thfe idea was wiien the crash
came, the silver and its representatives
would be found, in the hands of the poor
folks and the monied men escape harm .
Under such circumstands. I not only
fail to see their occasion for alarm ex
cept such as spring from the boundless
consideration for the, ills of the poor
which proverbally distinguishes tne

Is the income tax a democratic doc
tiine? And was the last decision of
the supreme court on constitutional
grounds?
The national platform did not prom
ise an income tax. Democracy does
not object to statet taxation of incomes,
but a federal income tax is not sus
j tained by Democratic construction of
j the constitution. It is not democrat
ic prescription for ills affleting the
body politic to divide out after for
tunes are made. If unequal conditions
i unduly operate to enrich sections and
classes, the constitutional remedy is to
l substitute equitable conditions so that
i all may have a fair chance to accumi
i late what they can and enjoy what
j they accumilate. In England a Nation
al income tax encounters no state lines
and constitutional safeguards reserv
ing state rights and limiting central
power. The states, under our system
should really do most of the governing,
and ought te have full taxing- powers
to raise necessary revenues. Uncon
stitutional taxation is not justified by
the fact that the Federal government
has assumed powers and jurisdiction
never undertaken or dreamed of before,
making administration more expensive.
Neither is such fact creditible to our
country nor in exemplification of the
principles of our system. We should
resist paternalism, whether proposed by
plutocrats or populits. The govern
ment coula greatly reduce its necessi
ty for revenue by renouncing the costly
powers, usurped, anil returning to a re-
I cognition of the limited scope and func
tions which its creation contemplated.

We do not desire to sue anybody

all persons indebted to the estate of

Deaf No Longer.
Monday Mr. H. 11. Dobbs a promi
nent farmer near Villa Rica, was in
town. Mr. Dobbs has been deaf in one
ear for about thirty years, which he at
tributed to the war, as he was
surrounded several times. Lately
his deafness troubled .him a great
deal and he bought a rubber
syringe and tried to relieve it.
In a few days he took from his ear a
slate pencil about half an inch long
which he showed to The Times. He
said he felt much relieved and hears as
well as he ever did. He said
Sunday w T hen he went to church
the singing sounded so loud that it
reminded him of a fast running freight
train.
Druggists say that their sales of
Hood,s Sarsaparilla exceed those of
all others. Thers is no substitute for
Hood’s.

Yesterday's rain has enlivened all
things considerably, even the grass is .
looking fresh. People are continueing
to lay by early corn. Watermelon I
vines are beginning to run and bloom, i
Peaches are getting ripe, and soon
peach pies may be heard of in many,
quarters.
Once and awhile I can hear of some
one getting married. When will my
time come?
Mr. John Neill, a prominent widow
er, living some few miles above here
was married recently to Miss Ada
Heath, one of Kansas’fair belles. May
the sunshine of roses continue to fall
about their pathway. No doubt I will
have another to report soon.
We are enjoying beans at last, and
the truth is I have got a job to keep
from being- pushed.
School at this place will be resumed
on the first Mondav in July, and the
patrons are requested to send in
promptly. Redmond.
