11 will be recalled by those fa-miliar
with history that we had de-clared
our independence of Kng.
land in 1776. Washington had
gone forth to meet the enemy and
had won the victory. The treaty

3, 1783. During this period we
I had existed as the thirteen states,
with a central government with
powers limited by the Articles of
Confederation. Our capitol was
located at Annapolis, and each
state was represented there by her
congressmen. It was here" that
W ashington came after his revolu-tionary
victory and formally re
Klgned bis commission as com-mander
in-chief of the revolution-iry
forces Dec. 22, 1783. We still
maintained our continental form
of government after Washington
ichieved his victory, and a su-perintendent
of finances, Robert
Morris, hail been appointed. On
- ™ . «n. 7. 1782, he made a report to
lenient! th« Continental Congress on the
| value at which foreign coins were
r, .|!',"'n accepted at the Continental
Lenient ! Treasury. Morris, during the year
of 1784, formulated a general plan
of a financial system for the con-tinental
government, which was re-ferred
by Congress to a committee
with Jetferson as its chairman.
On July 6, 1788, pursuant to the
report of this committee, the Span-ish
milled dollar of four hundred
and twelve and a half grains of
-ilver was adopted as the unit of
This resolution was the be-ginning
of our present financial
-.-'Ni. and what changes were
|uently made were due prin-cipally
to Hamilton. On Feb. 15,
1786, Morris, superintendent of

to be forty two million three hun
dred and twenty-five dollars. By
wise measures this amount was
largely reduced till Congress adopt
resolution Feb. 21, 1787, call
ing a convention to assemble at
Philadelphia to adopt a constitu-tion
for the United States. On
M iv 28, 1787, the debates by the
representatives from the states lie-on
the constitution, and finally
the constitution was finished and
t he convention adjourned on Sept.
17. 17<7. Washington, after hav-ing
acted as commander in-chief of
army and presided over the
( onstitutional convention, was nat-
,n ally chosen our first l'reaident
and tools his seat April 30, 17.S1).
lie appointed Hamilton Secretary
of the new L'. S. Treasury, and
nnc of his first ollicial acts was a
report on the public debt, which he
stated (1) domestic debt forty-two
million four hundred and fourteen
thousand and eighty-live dollars;
foreign debt eleven million seven
hundred and ten thousand three
hundred and seventy-eight dollars ;
state debts about twenty-one mil-lion
do'lars.
As they had both as state and
central government fought for a
common cause and the debts bad
been amassed in the endeavor to
free the country the government
accordingly assumed the debt, and
HI rdingly our new Republic start
ed life with a national debt of
about seventy-five million dollars.
Art. I., Sec. 8, par. E>, of the Con-stitution,
provided Congress shall
have power to coin money, regulate
the value thereof and of foreign
coin, and lix the standard of weights
and measures. Art. I. Sec. 10.
par. 1. provides that "no state shall
coin money, emit bills of credit,
make anything but gold and silver
coin a legal tender in payment of
debt!." Accordingly an Act es-tablishing
a mint and regulating
the coins of the I'nited States was
enacted by Congress April 2. 1792,
which provided. Sec. 'J, "And be it

As early as Is 10 gold began to
disappear from eireulation and had
wholly disappeared in 1817. Our
national debt by 1812 had fallen to
forty-five million dollars, and it
was rapidly reduced till 1836, when
it was paid off.
The first bank of the United
States was established in pursuance
of Hamilton's recommendations in
17111 and continued till 1811, when
its charter expired, and it was not
allowed a new charter by Congress.
This bank had a capital of ten
million dollars and branches estab-lished
in most of the principal
cities of that day. It was a sue-cess
from a financial standpoint
both to the government and to its
private stockholders. The second
United States bank was established
by Act of April 10, 1816, and con-tinued
till President Jackson veto-ed
the bill renewing its charter on
the ground of uneonstitutionallty,
and when reminded that Chief Jus-tice
Marshall in his opinion, Mc-
Culloch vs. State of Maryland, i
Wheat, 235, had held the charter
constitutional, Jackson replied,
"Each public ollicer who takes an
oath to support the constitution
swear, that he will support it as he
understands it." Gold begaa to
grow scarce in our circulation as
early as 1S10 and had wholly dii-appeared
by KS17, and hence we
did business from that time till the
Act of June 28, 1834, with silver.
Thi. Act changed the ratio of sil-ver
to gold from 15 to I to 10 to 1;
that was, instead of having the
eagle contain two hundred and sev-enty
grains of standard gold it was
ehanged so as to have two hundred
and fifty-eight grains of standard
gold. Ky reason of this Aot gold
was made the cheaper metal and
consequently immediately began to
reappear in circulation and silver
dollars disappeared. The Act of
March 3, 1840, gave us our first
gold dollars aud also our first twen
ty dollar gold pieces. Silver, as
previously stated, having entirely
disappeared from circulation ex-cept
some subsidiary coin and some
foreign coins that had been made a
legal tender in this country, it was
thought by Congress advisable to
devise some plan whereby we eould
have our silver again in circula-tion.
Accordingly the Act of Feb.
21, 18S3, provided, "That from and
after the first day June, 1863, the
weight of the half dollar shall be
one hundred and ninety-two grain.,
the quarter, dime and half dime to
be respectively one-half, one fifth
and one tenth of the weight of said
half dollar."
See. II. "And he it further en-acted.
That the silver coins issued
in eonformlty with the above sec-tion
shall be legal tenders in pay-ment
ef debts for all sums not ex-ceeding
five dollars."
It is evident that gold was over-valued
by our first Act placing the
ratio at 16 to 1, and that it was un-dervalued
by the 1831 legislation
that changed the ratio to 16 to 1.
In the first instance gold all left
circulation; in the second instance
silver all left circulation and that
led up to the Act of 1853, which
reduced the valne of silver subsid-iary
coins so as to bring them back
into circulation.
The acts that I have thus far
cited cover our financial legisla
tion till after the civil war. When
Sumpter was fired on our debt,
whioh was nothing in 1835 and our
Treasury had a surplus in 1836,
was $0O,5S0,873.
dignity, "Hiram Hooten, who came
to my county when I was a young
man, was the rarest specimen I
ever met with. Hiram had a twung
to his speech, a good deal like an
Indiana Yankee, when he first came
to the county, but the Texas climate
softened that of its angularities, so
that at the last we did not care
where he came from, and Hiram for
some reason never told us. The
things that Hiram did in the way
of honesty were too numerous to
mention, and his simplicity of
character was really painful, espe-cially
when one of our citizens sold
him a farm for $500 that nobody
of the revenue of that year. Such
a policy, however, it is to be fear-ed,
would have few advocates, the
plan of shifting the burden to the
next generation being almost al-ways
preferred by legislators. This
means a heavy issue of bonds to
the amount—for a starter-of some
$000,000,000, the yearly interest on
which under the circumstances
would hardly be less than $25,000.-
000.
Army and navy would, of course,
be very much increased. We
should wish to garrison all our sea-ports,
for which purpose 100,000
men might be required, and for op-

A Report that its Recent Bale May
Play an Important Part In Rail-way
Development.
NEW YORK, NOV. 26—The Mai
and Express says: The sale of the
RoanokeA- Southern Railroad at
Winston, N. C, yesterday to inter-ests
identified with the Norfolk *
Western has greater significance
than usually attache, to the .ale of
a line 120 miles long. The property
was bid in for $;,00,nO0, and it is
!HldvhV u Wi" S"0n ,,e the Norfolk A- We.t.rn for>•■a•««lontgo
term of years, perhaps in perpetuity.
The road has been operated by
the Norfolk * Western for some
time as one of its divisions, and it
extends from Roanoke, Va., to
Winston-Salem, N. ('., one hundred
and twenty-two miles. The object
of the acquisition by the Norfolk
* Western is that it is to play an
important part in the extensions of
that company.
The present management of the
Norfolk * Western is desirous of
securing p.n entrance into Atlanta,
from which important centre it is
virtually shut out. The south main
line of the company extends from
Hagsretown, Md., to Bristol, Tenn ,
and at the latter place the Eastj
Tennessee, which is part of the!
Southern Railway, begins and hauls
the through care to Chattanoega
and New Orleans over the (jueen
and Crescent. The desirability of
an entrance into Atlanta is strong
in the estimate of Norfolk * West-ern
interests and it i* proposed to
attain that object by fuming a
close tralll.- alliance w uli the Sea-board

upon him to use his good of-fices
in having the proper figures
put on the farm, and Hiram was
greatly comforted when he was in-formed
that next year his taxes
would be on the increased valua-tion.

A few years ago when diphtheria
was raging in Kngland, a gentleman
accompanied the celebrated Dr.
Field on his rounds to witness the
so-called "wonderful cures" which
he performed while the patien's of
others were dropping on all sides.
All be took with him was powder of
sulphur and quill, and with these
he cured every patient without ex-ception—
that is, he put a teaspoon
ful of Hour of brimstone into a
wineglass of water, and stirred it
with hie fingers instead of a spoon,
as sulphur does not really amalga-mate
with water, and on the sulphur
becoming well mixed, he gave it as
a gargle, and in ten minutes the
patient was out of danger as brim-stone
kills every species of fungus
in man, beast, and plant, in a few
minutes. Instead of spitting out
the gargle he recommended tbe
swallowing of it, and, in extreme
case, in which he had been called
just in the nick of time, when the
fungus was too nearly closing the
throat to allow the gargling, he
blew the sulpher through the quill
into the throat and after the fun
gus had shrunk to allow of it then
the gargling. He never lost a pa
tient from diphtheria. Or, if the
patient cannot gargle, take a live
coal, put it on a shovel, aud sprinkle
a spoonful or two of the brimstone
at a time upon it let the sufferer
