"COIN ON FINANCE."
Speech of W. H. Harvey
on the Money Question.
A STBONG PLEA FOE SILVER
How the People Have Been Impoverished.
THE BESULT OF FALLEN PRICES.
Baneful Effect of Legislating: For the
Few Bather Than the Many.
Something of Interest to Wage Enrncn
and Farmer The Logic of Bimetalllt m.
Speech of W. H. Harrey, Author of
"Coin's Financial Sohool," at Greenville,
O., Mar 10, 1800, Before the Order of
Patriots of America.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
and Members of the Order of the
Patriots of America I havo conieto
your county to sponk hero today, to
your unselfish cltlzons who have
raised tho standard of an order Intended
to regulate tbo olvlo conduct of tho nation
and to frco ourgovernment from the control
of nil selfish organizations.
When great questions havo pressed them-selves
upon tho United States, the people
of Ohio havo been truo to the traditions of
Jefferson and Lincoln. When questions
affecting tbo liberties of tho pcoplo and
tho existence of tho ropubllo have demanded
a vcrdiot, tbo peoplo of Ohio have spoken
intelligently on tho side of humanity.
Individual solOshnoss crystallized into
laws has been tho causo of the downfall of
all republics. When tho people of a republic,
by example and training, become worshipers
of mammon, nil laws are made and
construed for tho accumulation and protection
of property lntorosts and the principles
of humanity are neglected. It is the
crucial period in tbo history of a republic
In the history of .tbo world no people of a
republio have eyer successfully mot and
overthrown tho' spirit of selfishness. In
tbo history of popular governments selfishness
has manipulated tbo lawmaking power
and absorbed the property of tbo people
into the hands of tbo few. "Then camo distress
and riots and, tho claim that tho
was n failure, nnd thon camo monarchy.
, , Spirit of MammonUnw j.
It is a spirit of marhmonism that causes
us to worship wealth nnd tha opinion of
those who possess wealth. The men of
wealth are the best business men wo have,
but the least capable of understanding tho
principles upon which a republio is
founded.
Tho men to whom I refer wish laws that
encourago unbridled selfishness. Suob
men nre the enemies of republics. Their
opinions are not the opinions that tbo
masses of the people should follow.
We are living under laws that nro making
their impress upon our civilization;
that, if further permitted, will result as
fatally to our republio nnd to human happiness
as have the feudal laws of Europe
and any that havo overthrown tho republics
of tho pnst.
Wo have learned, however, in this republic
what the peoplo of other republics
too late to save their free
selfish Interests may capture
not only Individuals, but organizations.
Moro than one political organization in
the United States is today struggling in
the tolls or a seinsn Class.
The unselfish people nro looking on with
mingled feelings of anxiety and humiliation.
The unreeling of the weeks and
days is now bringing us to the time when
manhood will sit in judgment on the notion
of tbo pretended loadorsof the people;
when men will dooldo for themselves
wbetbor their political party 1b to carry
them with selfish interests.
Chief among tbo laws affooting our civilization,
defended by solflsh interests, Is
our financial laws, and that brings mo to
the subject uppermost In tho minds of tho
American people.
I am going to in the brief
space of a speech, the side of tho peoplo In
this issue, now on trial in the republio. I
do not hopo to reach tboso mho are seeking
to promote their solflsh Vanity, or those
wbo nro consciously or unconsciously seeking
to promote their selfish interests. My
appeal will bo to tho unselfish American
people, who rocognlzo tho principle that
man sorves himself best by promoting the
common good.
The Importance of Money.
Money is the blood of oommorco, tho life
giving fluid of olvlllzntion, tho vital organism
in our social oxistonce. You can
do without wheat, corn, beef or any other
single commodity olasseu among wio necessities
of life and yot be healthy and
happy, but you cannot inuiglne yourself a
part of civilization nnddowtuhont monoy.
You oan do without wheat By using ooru
or rice for bread; you can do without beof
by using pork or mutton &r. meat, but
you cannot be a partof civilisation and do
wlthoutorioney,. Without ttfanoy society
would go back" to baroarlsm. It is tho
most Important footca we, have in civilization
and may well be termed the blood of
civilization. It is necessity
to civilization.
Oao of the rulos that should bo applied
to ny necessity is that be a
normal quantity of it. Thore is a necessity
for so much bread. There is also a necessity
for a normal supply of money. If there
were laws other than the laws of barter
encouraging tho hoarding of wheat that
operatod to store It awayin elevators while
people suffered for tho want of It, you
would- bo in favor of repoaling those laws.
If there was not enough of it raised to feed
tho people, you would be- in favor of
moro of it. If .wo 'have Jaws that en-
oourago the hoarding of money, the great-
oi neoessiuos, anu diverting it iwu uo
chapels of trade) bjr which the people
aid the nation 'ao made to suffer for it
and to pay blackmail In order to get It,
iron should dtauuMl.the meal of tifeow
THE CRANCE SALE.

Two Ureat Speeclien.
If there are any Democrats in
Christian county who have been misled
by the vicious goldbug literature
so energetically circulated during the
last ten days, we commend to them
the two great speeches we publish today.
The address by Gov Altgeld,
printed at his own expense and sent
to Kentucky as an answer to Secretary
Carlisle's recent speech in defense
of the administration, is an exhaustive
treatise on the question and should
be filed away for the historical information
it contains. Gov. Altgeld
shows that the ablest men of thepaBt
as well as the great leaders of the
present have been advocates of bimetallism,
and that the Democratic
party has always been committed to
that policy. He exposes the false claim
that the per capita in this country ib $26,
am. proves oy omciai reports that it is
but little more than half that amount.
The speech is long, but it will well
repay a careful perusal by those in
search of the truth. Th ntlior anDOr.u
delivered by Mr. W. H. Harvey, the
best
posted man in the countrv on
monetary statistics, is a plaiD, busi
ness ime discussion of the currency
question as it affects the individual.
It is truthful, convincing and entertaining
and completely answers the
lauacies 01 Buch "attorneys for the de
fense,, as Aldredge, Patterson and
others who have suddenly changed
their own convictions and are trying
to induce Democrats to forsake their
principles of a life time. Read both
of these speeches and show them to
your neighbors and then make up
vuui ujiuub vo uuena tue convention
Saturday and help to sustain the
right. Silver must be restored.
Into Deep Water.
While euroute to the Grange sale
Friday Dr. Jno. P. Bell drove into an
open culvert near W. W. West's, that
had been washed away bv the heavy
rains. The water was a'bout fifteen
feet deep and before he knew how it
happened he' found hinself and horse
struggling in the water. Dr. Bell
quickly threw of his heavier clothing
and jumped out of the buggy and began
swimming out with liis horse:
while engaged in this way M. S.
Major came up.and plunged into the
water and assisted in rescuing the
horse. which was on the nninf nf homo-
drowned. Dr. Bell beincr an exoert
swimmer waB not in danger of losing
his life. Mr. Major lost his Mcintosh,
which was swept away during
the excitement.
Ell. J. W. Mitchell Kelgns.
Eld. J. W. Mitchell, pastor of the
Christian church, tendered his resignation
Sunday, to take effect in three
monthB. Eld. Mitchell has been
of the church for four years and
has been very popular with his congregation.
The resignation was a
complete surprise. The best of feeling
exists between the paBtor and his
members and Eld. Mitchell gave no
reation except to state that he thought
it beBt for a minister not to remain
too long in the same place. The
church has not yet taken action, but
the resignation will likely be accepted.
Another Stand-off,
Henderson won Thursday's game
of ball at the Athletic park, in this
city, by a score of 8 to 4. Friday's
pame, however, reversed the
order of things and Hopkinsville
won by 8 to 4. Madisonville played
our local team yesterday and will
play again here today. The game
today is expected to be especially
good, iiB both teamB are in fine
trim and the crowd will liklv h th
largest that has witnessed the sport
this season.
Death of Mrg. CM. Day.
Crofton, May 25. Mrs. Lucy E.
Day, wife of Mr. C. M. Day, L. & N.
ngent at Crofton, died yesterday afternoon
of congestion of the brain
and lungs, after an illnesB of several
days. Mrs. Day had been night
operator for the L. & N. here fqr ser-
unii yeure ana was a valuable
She was 40 yeare old and leaves a
husband and two little daughtc rs.
The funeral took place this afternoon,
Rev. MisB Cratz, a spiritualist
of EvanBville, conducting the service.
The remain were buried in
Crofton Cemetery.
A Close Call.
DuriDg the thunder storm Friday
morning, lightning struck two large
forest tress in Mr. .W, V. Owen's front
lawn, near the city, within a few feet
of his bouse. One of tho trees was
blaBted aud'Btripped of its bark to the
ground, the other being only split.
The stock was terribic and the occupants
of the dwelling close by had
a very narrow escape.
THE LYONS QUINTET.
There I'roiiilsrs to be a Suit for the Work of
Coutrolliue and for Embalming the
BnblM,
Undertaker Nance still has charge
of the Lyons babies and declines to
surrender them either to Dr. Matthews,
of Mayfield, or the father of
the quintette unless they pay $500 for
the embalming. He will bury the
babies and furnish a coffin, and make
no charge. If, however, afterward,
the remains are taken up, he will prefer
the charge of grave robbery. Dr
Matthews claims he has secured the
privilege of taking the remains of the
babies to the Tennessee centennial 'at
Nashville for exhibition. If they are
to be exhibited oyer the country Undertaker
Nance wants $500 for his-work
before they go out of his possession.
The relatives and parents
of the quintet, it is said, are willing
for Undertaker Nance to retain possession
of them. Dr. Matthews waB
in the city yesterday afternoon and
iB still in the city. He intends to secure
a writ of delivery. Undertaker
Nance has an attorney who is advising
him. If the writ of delivery iB
gotten out, and it is probable that it
will be this afternoon. Mr. Nance will
execute bond and still retain possession
of the babies.
This f .irenoon he proposed to permit
the babies to go to Nash " in
his possession provided that Dr.
Mathews and Mr. Lyon would agree
to accept two-thirds of the proceeds-from
the exhibits and let him retain
the other third. Dr. Mathews would
not agree to the proposition and now
Mr. Nance intends to use every legal
means to hold them, unless they are
at once buried, until his bill of $500
is paid. No ono is now permitted to
see the remainB of the babies
News.
Judge D. G. Pnrk, of Mayfield, as
attorney for Dr. Mathews and Oscar
Lyons, of Graves county, arrived in
this city yeBterday afternoon to confer
with undertaker Nance regarding
those five little bones of contentions,
the Lyons' babies. Although the
matter is not yet definitely settled, it.
is probable that Mr. Nance will agree-to
accept $800 for embalming the-dead
quintette, instead oj $500, which
was the price he set at first. No arrangements
havo been made for exhibiting
the infanta. Paducah Visitor

enjoy the exhilarating effects of a sea
bath, many attractions for the entertainment
and pleasure of visitors.
The Committee have nbou' completed
the program for the meeting at
