The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1891. G. M. HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 21 1898. Silver Issue Not Dead. A Republican Senator On the Finan cial Question. Chandler, New Hampshire, Gives His Views. Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, who is conspicuous occasionally as a double standard advocate, is more convinced than ever "that the gold standard is not to be fastened upon the world." Circumstances, he O/SAm A a 1\ A A A. #, * M r, A 4 A ? A auujjtB, eccuu iu uc tt^aiusb iuo iccognhion of silver and tbey might fcsv# been different, with opposite tffects upon public opinion. He does not consider the issue dead. "No," said the senator empbati cally today, "it is not dead and while the fight may last for twenty-five years it will continue to be fought. With England face to^face wiih tbe Ihdian problem, aDd with her failure to borrow the gold with which to supply currency for ludia, tbe question is still very much alive." "You still believe, then, in tbe possibility of an international biineta li^iiiV' Mr. Chandler was asked. "To such an extent,'' was his reply, "that if I were President McKinley 1 would appoint another commission, picking out active and interested men like Charles A. Towne, for instance?merfwho would secure a favorable result?and would Dotify Great Britian and France of my action. I would not send the commissioners abroad at once, but would wait?for them to be invited. In my opinion, Great Britian would soon request their presence, and co opera tion might also be expected from France, if that country had the time iu the midst of ber internal troubles to consider financial matters. ' It might be necessaay to abandtn tbe present ratio of lo to 1 and substitute 29 to 1, but upon some compromise I believe international bimetallism could be secured. "If by 1900 nothing is accomplished in the direction of international bimetallism, I am almost willing now to say that I would advocate in. dependent coinage by the United States. I would not, however, be willing to leave the republican party on such an issue, but I should try to convince my republican friends that such a course was the proper one to pursue. "Silver has been called dead, and damned enough, but it does not seem to be buried out cf sight "Why, when you think for a moment of the conditions throughout the world, you can see that the silver agitation is certain to continue. Two thirds of ihe people of the world are so situated that they are compelled to use silver. In China there are 400,000, 000 and in India are 300,000,000, with millions more in Afiica, and as long as gold is the standard in one part cf the world and silver in an other, just so loDg will there be a dislocation of exchange and a distubance of commerce. A aid of value for silver is necessary, and until it has been reached the silver question will not be settled. ''If a president should be elected iu 1900 who is forcible ia his character and who is friendly to silver, it would not be impossible to produce an effect upon the senate, even if that body should be apparently op posed to free coinage. M'e have seen administrations convert the senate to position against silver, and why may we not witness the reverse? I j addition to this, it is quite reason able to believe that if the people spoke for free coinage of silver in 1900, the senate would be ioiluenced in favor of some sort of legislation fiiendly to silver. ' It will not, however, require legislation to bring the silver question to the front. If the next president believes in silver, he will appoint a secretary of the same belief, and together they can order the greenbacks to be renewed in silver, .while the interest on the coin bonds can be paid in the same metal. 1 _ as a matter 01 iaci we now practically pay interest in silver. When you deposit your interest chtck iu baDk and then later go to draw against it the chances are that you will receive silver certificates. %tIn more than one way, as I have pointed out, the silver question will be kept alive. It is not dead yet by 8Dy manner means. Klondike Talks Afais. To tbe Editor of the Dispatch. Now that Uncle Sam issole possessore^ Porto Rico,Cuba and the Philip pines and ''Klondike*' sees no immediate danger of foreign complications or home disasters, he very cautiously ventures his name in public pi int. Most of our farmers are done gathering now and are spending their time making preparation for flour next summer. However, Mr Emanuel Taylor finds time to kill a large wild turkey gobier, sending ' Klondike" a choice piece. ' Billie Felix*' had the right idea in his gourd when he made the motion about the teachers' meeting. I'm just green enough to second his motion. Our lumber man, Mr. Burt Fallaw, is very busy now cutting railroad bills. Levi stands to the saw all the time, excep: Sunday. Ask him where he is then. Our friend, Mr. Glover Able, is busy erecting a saw mill on a part of the Steadman laud. * r* C* 3 .BoiliDg Springs tias a tine ounaay school under the Superintendancy of Mr. Henry Steel. Do you know what caused the awful severe wind and cold on last Sunday? No! Well then, you must know that December's cold and chilly breezes can never daunt the youDg in their search for the Fabled Fountain of Pt-rpctual Joys. Quite a croud of merry young people were gathered at the home of Mr. Noah Taylor, Sunday December, 1th. AU were laughing and talking when the rightman (Rev. Wright) came in the room, held a short conversation with the young people and then rlpnarfcprl. Soon Mr. M. J. ?t Kyzer with Miss Mary Corley marched slowly out cf the room, followed by Mr. C. E. Balling ton with Miss Lula Dunbar; Mr. C. E. Lewis with Miss Minnie Dunbar; Mr. L. C. Dunbar with Miss A1 ce Taylor. The last but not l?ast Mr. TV. B. Dunbar with Miss Etla Taylor. The company marched across the long piazza into the parlor where Rev. Wright stood up to greet them. Standing near the preacher are Mr. M. J. Kjzer and Miss Mary Corley who realize then that the supreme moment of their life had come. The matrimonial questions are asked and answered and Mr. W. B. Dunbar and Miss Eila Taylor are united in the holy bond3 of matri mony. After the usual congratulations Rsv.Wright announced meeting at Boiling Springs. Soon the bridal party were on their way to the springs where they listened to a fine sermon delivered by the Rev. Wiight from I Cor. xvi;l3. Wh*n the large crowd again joined the family of Mr. Taylor a feast was spread and it is needless to say that here as well as other places, all did their duty. A9 soon as dinner was over the young men of the occasion spent many very pleasant moments explaining to the young ladies the beautifulness of the moon and why Via ofoT-c chir ? art lnvfilv. All BTfi soon on their way home, wishing love and prosperity on the newly married con pie. A lone and solemn day dreamer sits and wonders why it was not Klondike. Feeding the Fire. The most powerful engine must stop if the fires are not fed. Man is the most wonderful piece of machinery in the world, yet no matter how strong and well-made his bodily frame may be, if the fire of life within him is not constantly fed his limbs and muscles become powerless and useless. The reason men become helpless and diseased is because the food they eat, which is the fuel of life, is not properly digested and appropriated by the stomach and nutritive organs. It is not completely transformed into the strength and working power which is to man what steam is to the engine. i rial wouue: u:i power-maxing vioiucn Medical Discovery," invented by Dr. K. V.

McCormicIs Women Angry. The Ladies' Democrat club of the j town of McCjrmick, S. C., held a i meeting Fiiday afternoon which was I in session one and a half hours, being presided over by Mrs. J. W. Jennings. During the meeting they expressed their belief that the citizens did exoctly the right thing in ridding the town of Tolberl's presence They ; futber expressed their intention of J never 8g.iin speaking to anyone syru! pathizes with the Tolbert affair.

What i3 the use of making a better atticle than your competitor if l L - U.ti - ? _ it <9 you can not get H ueuer price or it : Ans.?As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tripd and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large 6ale on Cbambeilair's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasioDtly take up with some fasionable nnro'iv not. forth with exaorcerated -j r ot> claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup" there is notbing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Much is being said in the paperr, just now about taxes, but none seems to have any well-defiaed idea as to the manner cf dealing with the question of lowering them. While one man will say that the appropriations for all higher education should be prohibited, another will object to it on the grounds cf being a backward tendency in the march of progress of the State, and South Cirolina can't afford to be behind the other States. Another will advocate lower taxes by providing for biennial sessions of the General Assembly. Another wants all salaries reduced. And others still I are advocating more offices to be filled by salaiied officers. Hence, :t seems that there exists a regular pandemonium as to the ways and means of accompliding the desired end. The people would like to see j taxes reduced, but they are too iotel! ligcnt to be induced to believe that | taxes can be lowered by cutting down j salaries only to have them ttken up ! again in paying the salary of some j newly-created offi-e. Beside?, if the I salary of every effi-er in the State ! were cat down the individual taxpayer would never know the difference, so far as his own tax i9 ecu I cerncd. But if a horiz >ntai cutting j down of < xpcuses were made, then I the tax payer would realize an appreciable decrease. It is difficult, j however, to see how the numerous and conflicting opinions of those who want taxes reduced are going to be reconciled. The]Legi-l iture will have j to tike the bit in its mouth and make whatever reductions it can, or else Itt the public know that there is no { way to reduce the taxes at present, j Those, that think they see where t?xj es are higher than ever before ought i to now be given a chance to show how th^y propose to lower taxes; but watch that they don't shift the burJen from the shoulceis of one class ! to that of another which is the least | able to bear it.
