Of course, we three women couldn't very well go out ar.d f hop and haul it. and our funds did not always warrant hiring large quantities laid in. besides which tbe neigh1 r.nz lielp we could pet was not v ry dependable on at all times. Maple - Knoll was a lovely place, but didn't bring sn much reienue, work as we were obliged to have it done, by any Tom. Dick or Harry wc could pick up: Mai the old house was picturesque but leaky aa a sieve. Still, we manaired very well about everything else, hut for fuel we were obliged to depend on getting a load hauled now- and then when some neighbor had the time and I mat ion to undertake it. ! a Bfchet tlioueh it was. we had had a freak of regular Indian-summery wea'her a mild atmosphere interiven with a soft smokiness.

"Meantime, let's go down and make a fire and get a good warm-up if we do perish afterward." "We'd better save the sittiiiir-room wood until after breakfast," counseled Iira. "and juat h.ive a fire in the cooks e till then, ar.d eat in the kitchen." "Stire." said I. "that'll be a lark."

It wa- on the east side, where the spiteful wind Lad lie n bituring at it all night, searching out a hundred ercv tee about window and door M hurl the fine, powdery snow through. There were drifts, varying in size, on the piano, on the chairs, and a dainty white powdering all over the carpet, wlmh the wind had puffed in under the floor. You could fairly fe,-l the gale whisking about your ears. There wan't a scrap of wixxl nor a chip in the wood box. Relinquishing a wild idea

ot chopping up a parlor chair or two

Dut a lot of smaller troubles followed ach other so eristntly such a the refu-al of the cook stove to draw, the falling of the lisrht breed in consequent, a slip in the mud on Dora's part. etc.. tc that when, to cap the climax that evening, our beloved fireplac.- smoked sulkily an! relentlessly, we felt that we might a well wind up the vear by going to bed at eiht o'clock. When we were ull s:i;ic"?leil down and tbe light were out I could have cried just out of low spirit, but 1 wouldn't. 1 krew (iod could see farther ahead than wc could, and I pit

the trade of the country.

To be read In connection with the foregoing, is the following business explanation of the situation: -The president of a New York trust company said to me the othef da that the business of thia country liAS OL'TGBOWN I HK YOLl'Mi: OF MOJiEY." remarked Viae President E. C. Spalding, of tbe Atlanta. Knoxville and Northern. "Everything la on a boom in New York except the stock markets, and tliev would be moving skyward IF MONEY WAS I 'I. ( M i KCL. At present New York has been drained of money by the interior. The gentlemen to whom 1 refer stated that the couth is better otT for money now than the north is. i he money is down here for the movement of tl otton

crop. When that crop irets to market

the monev wid fiuw back to New

York." In these two news items is eon teJned the justification of the con

tinuous no.i. v of the masses ever

since the crime of 1: I demone

ttzation of silver, accomplished under the cover of a resumption of specie iavmonts. was soon discovered to be

a curtailment bv one-half of tbe nat

ural monev resource of the people.

Sudder.lv rramiieil from the plethora

of paper money ir.to the limits of the gold supply alone, business disaster and ruin stared the country in the face, and a rigid enforcement of it

would have bankrupted every inter

eet in it. This was only partially averted bv the successful attache of

the democracv upon the party in pow

er. in forcing the regular coinage of

certain quantity of silver from 179 to nnd th. n the total collapse

came. That squeezing which began

in the outerm st parts of tbe country

has been narrowing its cirHe. unti

now New York admit that there is

not volume enouchi Practically, that

mean there must lie more volume

That i the Bith and kernel of the

' democrat ii- platform of spoken through the business interests. During all the years which the east, feeüntr safe in the enforced inward ; flood of interest, lauched nt various troves made by the democrats for an enlargement of the money volume, the letter sense of the eountry saw that tbe men in the field were right and the fear of the men at the ilesks were wronjr. Now it is the men at the desks who cry out that there is too much busins for the amount of money that ther must lie relief. To-day New York acknowledcee that "the country has oucTown tbe volume of money." "The country has kr.own this for over 25 years, and it Is New- York which has been slow to find it out. The raw material of the south, of the west and of the far J Pa'-ifl- states was just aa valuable twenty, ten. five years age as now. but the money volume has been congested by those of the east, who feit that if they had enough there was no reason for anyone else lieing in want.

commit a crime to obtain it? Why did

not its advocates appeal to the people' reason? How did it happen that certain men engaged in tbe perpetration of this orinn iiecaM suddenly very rich after its accomplishment? Why waa it

r i ary to send a copy of the bill that was pending in the American congress, ostensibly for the codification of our mint laws, across the ocean for approval by the directors of the Rank of BnghUMt? Then, when the interrogator has reached this point, he w ill suddenly rcmemlier that from the date of the perpetration of this congressional forgery, prices of all commodities have steadily and persistently declined, so that the manufacturer who made an article that cost him one dollar had to sell it for 9 cents, and the man he sold it to had to let it go for OS. and so on down the line until it plunged head first into the slouch. ar.d quapmires of bankruptcy.

He will also observe that these contritions have led to the organization of trusts and the discharge of workmen to save expense and avoid bankruptcy on the part of business men: that three discharged workmen have combined atitl others who were either out of work or receiving pittances that did not satisfy the hunger of tl. mselvea and their families, and that they then nagaged in strikes and riots, necessitating tbe organization of a large standing arm-' to "preserve order." lie will also obsere tliat while t hese processee have been in operation tho-e who had plenty of money at the beginning have grown enormously and dangerously rich, while the merely well to do and middle and working classes have been reduced to poverty and dependence.
