The Two Units Compared

Henry Waldron, of Northfield, is a good talker. and an inventive genius in the way of argument, and lias done more service for the silverites in Uiis campa ign than about all the other speakers in the eounty, He takes a gold dollar around with hlm and it between his fingers. ïsks his audience what he has got ? Of course no one can teil, and there is no aniswer. Then he says, 'I don't wonder you can not seé it. AVliy, it is the unit o valué, a gold dollar." At wïdch those of the audience in sympathy with a currency without any unit, or some other unit, at once render applause. How true this story is we will not vouch, but itis said that at a school house recently he.had made tuis favorite "argument", when a salí, green looking chap arose in the back part of the hall and wanted to know if he could ask a question. Being granted the request with ovldent pleasure, he held up a piece of silver between his fingers and wanted to know if he, Waldron, could teil what he had ? Of course Waldron could not teil, when he replied : "I an astonished. It is your proposed unit of value, with several grainsadded. It is a Mexican dollar. Tou ought to be able to recognize your own unit."
