WHAT JSTHE STANDARD?
The Covington Star gets elo¬
quent discussing the silver ques¬
tion, clamoring for both gold
and silver, state banjos, etc. The
Georgia Enterprise is deliberate
in opposing free coinage, and
wants bimetalism. We took the
position from the start that ac¬
cording to the arguments of both
sides throughout the countr)
there is no difference,unless one
or the other is purposely decep¬
tive. It appears that when the)
speak out in school everyhod)
wants both gold and silver. As
to the 1G to l,the weights of the
metals show that we have that
now, and the figures ot the mon¬
ey in circulation in the woild,
and in the U. S. tieasury show
i l all countries where there it
gold silver abounds. Then it can
not he that the gold men want
to vuh out silver, or the sijvei
men want to destroy gold, un¬
less it he true that the knowing
ones me insincere in the posi
tii.ns they take and the aigu -
meets used.
The troubles in this country
do hot come from a defect in the
monelaiy system so much as
from years of extravagance and
a wild policy on part of pioduc
ers, coupled with reckless spec¬
ulations, the cornering of the
necessities of life l>v the soulless
millionaires, who liavo made
fortunes in a day, squeezing out
the life blood of I lie poor by d«
grees until it has leached an
alarming point, in the history o!
the country The remedy has
already been applied, and is
working wonders in Hie uiver i
fled agriculture, and economic
administiatJon in the home cii
cles of the masses. Already the
wages of the working classes
have'dieon increased; ahead)
tH4Vepbrts of (he commercial
HgencieH show increase in bnsi
liess and a demand for better
prices a id the price of cotton is
envying up with a prospect ol
i even or tight, cents by the 1st
of October. Already we can
imagine the gold and silver hells
hanging from the harness of the
Itorses and moles ae they pul!
into market t he wagons heavily
laden with the fleecy staple,
ringing in joyous salutations,
•'Peace on earth” once more,and
••good will” to the poor people
in this country. The “fear and
trembling” part having passed,
the wool hat boys at home are
working out their i a va’ion with
joyful hearts, anticipating
prize which awaits them.

good effect upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
Dowell. Mass.
“ Castoria is the best remech* for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing’ S 3 'rup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves.”
