It is a current complaint of the Popu list* that there is not enough money in the country to carry on the business of tho country. But the public records show that the circulation per capita was larger last year than it had been at any time since 1860, and it has not been reduced since lait year. It is evident that it is not lack of money in the hands of the people that has caused the recent fall in prices, for the amount of circulation is now great er in proportion to the population than it was when high "war prices" ruled. And not only is the amount of circulation now mnch larger than then, but its quality is better, for every dollar of it is now practi cally "aB good as gold'' and will bring its face value in gold. It is in fact this good qaality of our pres ent circulation to which the Populists seem really opposed, for their pet project —the free coinage of silver —would soon drive gold out of circulation and bring the remaining currency do*n to the price of silver. In other words, while immediately reducing the volume of circulation it weuld at the same time cut down the purchasing power of what was left. This would not be an increase of the circulation, but an actual and large reduction of it at a time when the Populists insist that its increase is greatly needed. There never was con cocted a scheme more certain to defeat the professed objects of its projectors than this Populist proposition for the free coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. There is in the country to-day about 600 million dollars in silver. Ee-ch of the sil ver dollars coined in faot contains but lit tle more than fifty cents worth of metal; but under the statutory pledge of the Gov ernment each one of them will buy one hundred cents worth of commodities. The adoption of the policy of free coinage would at once destroy the popular faith in the Government's pledge, and the purchas ing power of the silver dollar would sink to its bnllion value. Our 600 millions of silver dollars would then buy only about 300 million dollars worth of property, and it would be necessary to double the num ber of silver dollars to give that currency as much aggregate purchasing power as it has now. In the natnre of things it wonld take some time to double our silver coin age, and when that had been done we should be no better of in that respect than we are now. But in other respects, and long before that *as done, we should be much worse off. The adoption of such a silver policy would at once drive ont of circulation the 500 million dollars of gold now in the country, and to replace this we should need another 1,000 millions of silver 50- cent "dollars" to give the metal currency as much purchasing power as now. But we should need more than this, for the pa per currency now based on gold would then be reduced one-half in purchasiug power, and it would be necessary to double that also if we would avoid an actual shrinkage of circulation. In fact, we should have to double up our present to tal circulation of about 1,600 million dol lars to give the country as much effective currency as we have to-dav. While the Government mints and presses were strug gling with this job the country would be suffering from a lack of currency, a de rangement of values and a paralysis of business such as it has never yet known. And the net result of it all would be that the present great fortunes of the silver producers would be vastly increased, the wages of all workers would be greatly re doced in value, the Baviogs and invest ments of all thrifty citizens would be cut down one-balf and debtors would be able, under the cover of law, to cheat their cred- I itora out of half their dues. No doubt many—not all—of the men who are now favoring the free coinage of cheap silver are honest in their belief that it would benefit the countrv; but a little sober reflection must enable them to see that diluting the currency will not increase its effective value any more than the dilu tion of milk will add to the value of that fluid. The real value of what we call "money" lies in its purchasing power, and no government on eartn is strong enough to greatly modify that power. The law may enable men to cheat their creditors out of a part or the whole of their dues; but it can never enable any man to buy property at half its market value. The good quality of a currency is important, but the stability of its quality is the most essential point, for there is no scheme for robbiDg the people more certain and rapid in its operation than that of debasing the currency of a country.— Af/itator. AT the next meeting of the Legislature the board of trustees of the state asylum for the chronic insane at Warnersville, Berks county, will ask for an appropriation of $130,000 to ecect additional buildings necessary for the carrying on of the larm work, such as barns, pig styies, green houses, shops, together with the necessary farming implements. And so the money of the tax-payer goes.

I laid down on the ground and placed my head on a boulder and with another stone beat myself on the head The stone found on the ground covered with bair and blood was the one I used. I found this was a poor way of taking my lite. After I had struck my head twice. I grew weak, and the stone dropped from my hand. In a hall conscious state I crawled under a tree about 100 yards distant, where I lay for two nights, unable to move. About 3 o'clock Thursday morning I crawled into a log, where I thought I would be left to die. The serching party located Mrs Jack by the blood which flowed from the wound in her bead.
