An ad in the Independent will bring yougood results.

Usually every community has a few in­dividuals lhat can be called originafe.and and by their originality attain a ciMsical fame, and among several' such characters I remember o:d Fia Maordaiid the provincial letter carrier, Joliannes Isaksson.

Fia Maord liad her little history and her proud recollections, in spite of her humble station in life. Ever since she was a child, and long after she liad attained the grace­fulness in figure of a barrel, she liad been in the services o f the barons of Svanaholm, and when tlie old baron departed this- life, like all other barons, and liis son, the young honorable succeeded his father, feel­ing his aesthetic mind suffer from daily be­holding old Fia’s corpulence, F a was pen­sioned off and given a little cottage on tlie estate and enough pasture ground to sup­port in comfort the female of the bull, in other words a covi of the regulation pattern and size.

Old Fia bad it most comfortable in her old age. Not a party, wedding, christening or funeral took place for miles around but what old Fia must be there and cook, and as was not by any means bashful, her larder was constantly supp ied with the choi(.est eatables and drinkables.

Old Fia was ce'rlainly not a beauty. She sported a pair of mustaches that were the envy of tlie yourig men ij^ the village Her form partHJcSYioi'e o^ lfe resemblance c f a Dutch dieese than a i l l >nd to ben hold Fla sailing down tli'fe village street like a galley under full s.ail was a sight for the gods. Of course, Fia was not to blame f r her appearance; that was accepted as a freak of the Creator; but Fia was of such extremen ly moial lirri|ierameut lhat as soon as she discover' (1 Uiatanv young man and woman in her nuigliborhood were spooning, or an engageinmit reported, Fia did her best to break or Hinder it, claiming it was all fri­volity and tpo work of the eyil one. Of course, Fia claimed to be prompted only by Itie best intentions, but this little streak of virtue in old Fia was not appreciated by the young people, and Fla was Considered a good lawful s-ai.ject for all the pranks that the d“piaycd inindH of the young village people wtro capaliie o f—and young people’s minds in .our mod. rn tmi. s are very elastic.

lin igiiie, then, the gloriipus rumor that spread th -t old Fla herself had bepn made Hui.i<‘ct 1 " 1 ^ ■»')».o f j^e evil oriG,\ a’ud tliai tiio .1 jei:was tlie old letter-carrier, Johannes. And to ihink of tlieonsequences of letting love loose in sin h a.'big body as Fla’s, the result may well iie considered serious, and tl e villag' rs were ou the lip-toe of expecta.- tion.

Old Juli niv'S had, early in life, been a steward on a big estate and associated witli city people, and even met foreigners, and acquired a high, toned language and man­ner ndiich, all combined, h.ad conquered old Fia’s maiden reserve.

One day Johannes had called at o ’d Fia’s cottage to deliver a letter, and as this was something so e.xtraordiuary an event in Fia’s life, Johannes must preforce remain and read the communication. It turned out to he a notification that Fia had inherit­ed the respectable sum of 1,000 rix-dollars from a member of the noble family of rfvrnaholm, and Fia had, therefore, the attractio:^ of an t-eti ili^#|J^Johannes.

Fia, on her part, congixi^red Johannes as a great man. Was not his language like what she had sometimes heard at Svana­holm ? And did he not represent his majesty the king’s post office department ? The best of everything from Fia’s larder was placed before Johannes, and he was feasted 1 ke a king. The satisfaction was mutual, for as Johannes said one day; “ Mamscll Fia, it’ is jo pleasurable to visit here, wlien one h?.s asauetuted with edifleat- ed persons, and again converse with equi- yote and cynic female.”

Old Fill just sat there, the picture of a'». tonishmeiit at the big wor s, of which she did not understand fhe meaning, but it charmed the old girl, and Johaiine’s learn­ing was reivarded with pancakes and frequs ent glasses of something Fla claimed kept rheumatism out of the bones.

Johannes would hayq been made o f atone if such attention had not toTiclied liis heait orhisstomaoh I f F'n (ir Joliannes first made the proi.odtioH U> visit the village pa.“lor anil r(‘(|nest that the hiiniis he pub-, li-li ’d he! ween theiii will fixever remain a niy-de y. (fii S .vcd.oi it is the oust m for the pusioi- to read th. 8 names, from the pul­pit after (.ervio.(’ on Sunday of those that in­tend to ma(ry, and this is dune for three Sundays in succession.)

Both Fla and Johannes knew that if their intention became known to the villagers they would be exposed to mucli unpleasaant- ness from the young people, and they de­cided on a plan that they thought was very clever. Tliis was for Johannes and Fla to start dressed in their ordinary every day i^esB by separate routes, and then to meet at the edge of the fprest. where they could put on their Sundaf costume, which they would bring with t b ip tied up in a bun- dle. . ^

The two benigMed aid souls had many a good laugh at tho clever way in which they would fool their tormentors.

The day finally arrived, and early in the the morning Johannes started out, carrying with him his Sunday dress, tied up in a bundle. Unfortunately, he was compelled to pass tlirnugh the viliiage street, and here he was accosted by the inquiry of one of the young fellows of the village “ where the

postmaster was going so early in tlie morn- replied Johannes, and he

trieR' to look dignified, “just r7r~"**BYXb‘ lLfl - tsrra finna.” Johnannes expectf words would astoni h ’ D tormentor but the boy stuck to him and succeeded in discov ering that Johannes Sunday coat was in the bundle. The villagers were at once inform- ed of the fact, and Johannes was followed at a distance by one of the boys. Soon Fia was seen waddling ttirough the village street, also carrying a bundle, and the vill­agers were now sure that sometliing was about to happ n. Fia was followed, and was seen to enter the forest. Here she met ■Johannes, and both were busy taking oflf their everyday dress, when, with a horrible yell, the entire population of the yillag was seen approaching. “ Lookout for th wolves I” tliey cried, “ they are biting every*i body.” Fia and Johannes did not stand ou caremony. In his flannel underwear leavx ing his Sunday dress behind, Johannes sprinted for the village church, followed by Fia in tier red pe tticoat, with the villagers running behind them veiling ‘ -Wolf.”

The minister was baptizing Abolid Kris* tina’s child, when the door to the sacristy was burst open, and Fla, breathing like a whale from her exertion, rolled in, followed by Johannes, bareheaded and in his flan­nels.

The minister and the baptizing party were almost scared out o f their wits. “ My frieniis ! My fiieiid.s ! Have you escaped from highwaymen, or has the evil spirit entered into you ? ’

“ No,” said Fla, with the little voice she could command, alter her rapid running. •‘Begging the worthy pastor’s pardon, no other spirit has entered in us but to come here and request the woit .y viastor to read the banns over me and Johannes next Sun­day. But the villagers say the wolves were after them, and I have lost my Sunday . dress, and Johannes”—and here Fla had to stop for lack of breath, and Johannes tried to erawl under a table to hide himself.

The minister was not slow to see the joke and understood the situation. Repressing as far as possible his inclination to laugh, he requested Fia, and Johannes to approacli his table, and Kristina to approach his table, and add res-ed them on the sencity of matrimony. When tiie pastor went home to his dinner he and his sexton had a good laugh at probably the oddest pair of loyera ever to appear before a minister.

It is said that the money issue will bring out the Dunkards to the polls. As a rule, 111" members of this sect avoid poli.ics. 1 ‘ is an ominous fact. It just shows thatf. nse of the yital nature of the present < paign has penetrated into the most re mote communities. —

The Grand Army of the Republic en-> laroiiment at St. Paul, Minn., next month » HI mark the close of the first half-deoade Piuce the Silver Encampment. The ranks of the veterans are now thinning out rapid- !v with each su cc^tye year. A number of i able old officers of the civil war have bl ■ d within the past twelvemonth. It will ■'ll ■! be long before only a handful of last 'survivors will answer to the last roll-call of -.he once Grand Army.

To have the right side of the moral ques tioii involved in the silver issue and to be » ' ie to appeal to the conscience of the coun t;y ought to saitsfy McKinley and his fi' mds. It is a matter of regret that the i-.auJidate him sjlf and some of his more iiijudicious supporters should qualify o w aken their hold upon the minds of hon frt men who are opposed to repudiation by logging the tariff question offensively to the fr mt. There is a question of right involved in the assumption that one man may taxed for the benefi.t of another that it rot necessary to argue at this time. Let us all, Republicans and Democrats, fight this silver issue to a finish 1 Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.

Paring the present stagnation in business the manufacturers of pig iron in Alabama unable to make satisfactory sales in the iiome market, are shipping it abroad. It is Incky that while we are busying ourselves overturnihg our own credit by talk of

'practical repudiation, thus throwing all forms of industry into confnsion, we are en abled to send our surplus iron to other countries and sell it at a reasonable profit The Southern ironinakers may in the end fmd permanent purchasers for their surplus iron in Europe. It is doubtful whether iron can be more cheaply made in any part the world than in Alabama" nnd

Those who ascribe the fall of silver to its disuse as money are talking in these days as if there were no common-sense in all the land. But Americans have some intelligence Suppose that the world’s crop of wheat had increased 176 per cent, in twenty-three years; is there anyboly who would be ear. prisen if its price declined 7 The eaters haye not increased 10 per cent; the cost of transportation to the eaters has diminished more than two-thirde; why should not 176 bushels of wheat sell for leas than 100 bush els in 187S ? Yet there are actually persons in this queer world who fancy that wheat has gone down because ssiver has gone down. '

C A M P MA SO N ON T HE H UDS ONCamp Mason was located on Esopus Island, on tho

Hudson River, half way beiwSen Kingston aud Pough kipsie. This island is abontaicile long and half a mile wide and being situated near tU-Ciaiid>e Oi ihe rivor affords it beautiful site for a camp, it is naju*'- ftlly rocky thinly covere^ by a stoiiy soil ^ro.ducing a Fair ; the other hardy varieties found In that vicinity.

The location aflbrds access to nearly every con.*-venience; across the river in tne towp oi Esopus pro­visions may be procured at a moderate pnee and there also, is one o f the Knickerbocker ice houses where all th».iee that is needed can be obtained free o f cost. There arc three boats that leave for Poughkipsle every day from the dock at Esopus so tluit what is needed that cannot bo obtained there may easily b i bmtght at Poughkipsie. Our camp was pitched on the north end of the island on a high biulT where we gut the cool breezes and commanded a fine view of the beauti.'’ui scenery on both sides of the river including Governor Morton’s elegant residonca-and the gigantic peaks of the Catskill Mountains loomiag np in the diatanee.

Ou;- camp »as named in honor of Rev. E. G Mason and the member's of which consisted of himself, D. E. 'dohnes. C. M. Franklin, E. L. Black, the Writer, and Chappie, the dog. A party of diversity of occupations at home, but hare of one mind to have a grand good time. For a sportsman tlio place has many attr.ictions r<8 there is excellent fishing for Bass and Perch. Ducks are found in abundance later in the season and deqr aUo a little further inland, Camp life for a few we ks is not only heathfui and conducive,of great sport, but it is educating. Thoro are little incidents happening continually which go lo it very able. Aninteresting feature was th^ onsU n l passing ot the Bteamboa 8 at night, brilliai^y Ughtfd, making a beau tiful sight. There also would be heard tho noise of the iwash from the boats rushing in great waves, like a small aea, on the rocky shore breaking in. upon the stillness of the night. We were kfpt busy and at the same time entertained by visiting the different pointeof Interest usually in Mr Mason^s Adirondack canoe. Directly across the river from the island is a place called’ ‘ Indian Rock,” where there is a picture engrav- od in the rock representing a man with his gun. It is supposed to haye been the work of an Iniian, when the white men first came up the river, and it is at least two hundred years old. All our party visited “ Ellers- lie,” Governor Morton’s residence. One of tho chief features ol the visit was the sight ol his beautiful herd of Guernsey cattle. In all respects oiir camp life was a uovelty and pleasant experience, and althoug’a our stay was necessarily brief it will never be for­gotten by any member of the camp.

Who Is to blame if business Is upset?

THB BOLTERS’ APPEAL. THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

F o o lis h R e a so n s G iven f o r T h e ir A ction by t lie R o tt in g S ilv er RepublloH iis.

At a secret conference of the bolting Bllver delegates to the St. Louis con* vention an address to the people of the United States was agreed upon and given to the press. This 'declaration of free coinage doctrine was prepared •After careful consideration by Senators Teller, DubolA and Cannon and othel silver leaders and may therefore be held to embody the strongest argu­ments which can be made in favor ol the silver standard.. ’ The grounds on which Senator Teller and his associates ask for support are the assertions that "the basis of out money Is relatively contracting;" that "our financial policy Is dictated bji creditor nations;” that "we produce all the necessaries of life, while other na­tions consume our products;" that the restoration of bimetallism' by tills country will double the basis of our money system;” that “ falling prices are ifihe deadliest curse of national life," and that “ bimetallism will help to bring about the great hope of every so­cial reformer" of better conditions ior .the human race. On this platform the bolters nominated Senator Teller as an Independent free coinage candidate for Ptesldent.

These claims of the silver Repubi^ cans are all untrue. Instead of com tracting, the basis of our currency ie steadily Increasirig. The production ot gold Is now about ?200,000,000 per year

^and of 'this over fl30,000,000 Is added ,io the world’s stock of money. Our stock of full legal tender silver has in­creased from less than ?80,000,000 in 1873 to f550,OW,000 in 1896.

Our present financial policy was de­liberately adopted by the representa­tives of the American people In Con­gress assembled. The charge that H was dictated by foreign nations Is an Unfounded imputation on the men chosen to make our laws. > The Idea that this Is a country ol producers while other nations are con- ■sumers only Is too silly for argument. For every dollar’s worth of,products we sell abroad we buy back at some time a dollar’s worth of foreign productswUlcti we coiUBun; . "We Consume in the long run exactly aa much as we produce, i

yhe claim that "bimetallism,’ ’ by Which is meant free coinage at 16 to T wTIl double the basis ot our money sys­tem Is not believed by the sllveiites themselves. They know better, for they know that with the bullion value of silver at 30 to 1 of gold, the cheaper laetal would drive out the more valu- Rble. Thus Instead of doubling the basis of our money, free silver mono­metallism would cut it in two by forc­ing gold out of circulation.

Falling prices are due almost entire­ly to Improved methods of production by which labor on ttie farm or in tJ.a wcrksliop can create wealth more eas­ily than In former years. This means that the mas.ses can get more of the uecpssarles and luxuries Of life, and It is therefore a great blessing and not a curse. Other reasons fob tailing prlcFS are the new sources of produc­tion opened up in various parts of tne woiiu iu recent ysare. The gold stam ard has had nothing to do with lower prices.

The claim that "bimetallism (silver- monometallism) will nelp bring about the' great ivope of every social reform­er” would be more convincing if It was Accompanied by Information as to how It wou’d do it. In the absence of proof ■general prOfnlses of better conditions Under free silver are altogether too vagpie for sensible men to take risks on. A policy which depends on base­less assertions and positive perversions Ol facte can never gain the support of a majority of the American people, and the movement headed by Senator Teller Is therefore doomed to failure.

Not AIucli l>aiifi;er o f This Country Joining China and lllcxU'O.

Mr. Ixniis Wlndmuller Is one of New Turk’s leading merchants who haa large tra.irj#actk-ns with German and other foreign houses.

In a recent number of the Berlin Na­tion, one of the influential periodicals in Germany, he explains to foreign holders of American securities why it is pi-obable that the United States will stiiok to gold as the standard of value.

"While not underestimating the grav­ity of the present situation he finds sev. oral reasons for thinking that this country will not take' Its place with Mexico. China and other half civilized silver standard nations. One of these is "the recent i-ise in the i*alue of silver caused by ea'stern demands, amd the in­creased produotiion of gold” which "may continue U'UtH our miners will cease to grumble.” He reasons that:

“A larger supply of gold is apt to In­crease many values. IVheat and some other staples have risen and may con­tinue to rise until our farmers become reconciled to ,the‘|f6ld standard. Mean­while, In consejBenCe o-f information spread througn^^Wr.ious channels, many of tliem begin*'to doubt if cheap dollars.

In his opinion, "the great political parties cannot trifle with the financial question. The i>eopIe are tired of un­certainty, and a majority will probably vote for the preeidentlal candidate who has the best reputation for sound mon­ey prtnolples and the courage to ad­here to them Irrespective of party.

Colli Harvcy*9 “ . ciciitific” Money."Out of the wisdom of man came the

flse of two metals for use as money, these metals to be coined into money at t ratio in weight of 16 to 1, or in the batlo provided from time to time. The option was given by law for the people to use money made from either metal, ji*’ lther redeemable In the other, but each of itself money. The option was with the debtor, the person getting the $noney in motion. The debtor thus Controlled fhe (lemand, and as demand pves*'vgl,ue, the supply being limited, this option to the debtor shitted the demand from'gold to silver or silver to gold as each increased or decreased in tiuantUy. The debtor used the one no.st accessible; so if silver became cheaper tho demand was shifted to it, and this brought it* back to a parity With gold, end vice versa.”

How •ridiculous! The idea that we can have a scientilic or just system ot money which gives debtors the option of paying In two or more metals at fixed ratios! The chief work of money Is to farilita-te exchanges. Who pre­fers to make contracts in uncertain terms? What merchant would care to feive farmers credit and to give them the option of paying in whe.at at 60 cents, corn at 40 cents, oats at 20 cents or potatoes at 15 cents per bushel? And who but the farmers theinseives (Would pay for the risks and uncer’aln- tles If a merchant were compelled by law to give credit only in this way?

bringowners o f needed com modities and the scattered consum ers of them effectively together as seasonably, quickly and cheaply as possible. A ll the m anifold Instrumentalitie.s o f com m erce are merely devices to that one end. And the first necessity to that end is some form and kind o f property so useful and desirable to all men, no m-attcr for w bat .special reason, and so uniform ly and universally atceptable b y then* that they will everywhere am ong these producers and consum ers readily ex­change for it any Item of property they wish to exchange, know ing that it will, w illingly and without loss, -be taken In exchange for any other item o f prop­erty they m ay happen to want and whenever they m ay happen to tvan-t it. That kind o f property for ■which all other kinds can be exchanged, which can buy ar^l sell al! others, men call money. T o serve this use m ost effect­ively and oconom loally, it m ust possess in the highest attainable degree certain qualities. It ni-ust have value, real use­fulness In Itself, fo r men do not w illing­ly trade valuable for valueless things.It m ust keep its value, for men will not trade value for a valueless thing m ere, ly because it once had value. They must have the present substance and not the mere tradition o f value. It must be as inr-arlable In value as pos­sible—that, Avhlle it is kept on hand aam-Uing other exchanges, it m ay lose as little as possible o f its pow er to buy other com m odities. It must be as near­ly Imporishable and Indcatructlbla as* flossiple. It must have os small bulk a.9 possible consistent with sufiicient abundance, both for convenience of handling and for safety and cheapness of carriage. It m ust be o f a sort o f equally tmluable, equally desirable, equally acceptable wherever roan trade, else Its pinchasing pow er is not every­where equal, and its function so far falls.

Win-rt-ver men have advanced' beyond savagery, they have by custom and com m on use adopted som e then avall- a'ole form o f property, posses-sing m oro or less o f these qualities, as the m edi­um of their exchanges. So long as, for any reason, that form has had a recog­nized vaiiM and a oce j-‘.ability as wide as the range o f (rade o f that time, it has serve*! Its purpose, even if imppr- fe-. t'.y. W'hen its acceptability has ceas­ed. or has ceased to be comi-nensurate with the field o f tra_^e, it h.as dropped out o f use. H istory is full o f instances o f cKsused and abandoned moneys.

AVlicnever a partleular form o f prop- brty has served as a med'ium o f ex ­change, it has necessarily becom e a measure o f the value o f et'ery item of property exchanged by its intervention. W hen cowries ivere the medium, every­th ing Oise was value'd In cowries. It iviifj uhc same w ay with sheep, cows,

, hides, bunches o f shingles, etc. at Intermediate kind o-r form of

Jii-operty, by first exchanging for which au oiher kinds o f property are exchang- €-a for each other, is fo r the tim e being botn a med'ium o f exchan-ge and a measure o f value of the things ex- cnanged.

A\ he never a m oney has 'been a kind or property which existed in natural units, like cowries, arrowheads, sheep Or other like so-rt, the conventional unit o f exchange has been the natural unit by which the count o f quantity would be made. But when the extension of the field of trade and the changed wants o f meh have com pelled such refine­m ents in the quality, bulk and conven­ience o f the instrument o f exchange that the rarer metals were more ac- eeiitable for the puipose, some conven­tional unit o f quantity a-nd som e uni­versally satisfactory m ode of Its cer­tification .had- to be tou-nd, and out of

'th is necessity grew the various denom i­nations of money, which are measures o f the quantity of the property con ­tained in such units, and al.'io the coin ­age laws by wliich the quality and quauli-ty o f the property so used is ofll- cla lly a-soertalned and certified for the safety o f those who would exchange I their property therefor. This does ■ a-.vay with the inconvenient scales and | tests o f the ancient m erchant and al-1 low s actual quantity to be a ccu ra te ly , ascertained by mere count o f unworn ' pieces. I

It Ought to be a mere truism to sa y f; that coinage does not and cannot afl'ect A'alue; that it sim ply certifies the qual- | il ity and quantity o f a certain piece o f ' property, for the inform ation and coit- | Atenienee of that w orld of trade w h ose , use and m utual agreem ent alone estab-q llshes the value o f the property so c e r -1
