THE State OF Ohio has declared in IA
vor of currency convertible at the
will of the holder into gold coin, dollar
for dollar. This fact should not lead
the people ostop discussing the money
question. Every newspaper, every
public lyceum, every means of spread
ing knowledge of the nature, uses and
functions of money, should be employ
ed with all the more energy, until the
whole people shall understand how
vitality important it is 20 the business
interests of the country and the rights
of labor, that all contracts, wages and
evidences of debt shall rest upon an un-
huctuating measure of values, as the
only just basis for making the ex-
changes Of community. No other ma
terial evil can compare with that of a
measure of values which is long to-day
and short tomorrow. 1t infects every
business transaction with the vicious
element OF haZard-chance-gambling.
Every man who sells bushel of wheat,
or who contracts Tor certain price per
day, month or year for his labor, gam
bles on the chances whether the con-
sideration will be higher or lower than

gold dollar has is value solely on ac-

that a paper or Il leather dollar with
the same stamp has the same value,
must be exposed. The people must
learn to see for themselves that gold
dollar is dollars worth, if it is mash
ed with haIImer out of all semblance

is spoiled by printing it, unless the

JOHN G. Thompson the Chairman of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, was caught at his fraudulent
tricks and now he seeks to draw pub
lie attention away from his own Com
mittee, by charging all sorts of things
upon the Republican Committee.
John feels very sore, because with the
aid of the immense sums OF money
contributed by his Catholic friends
from almost every state in the Union,
he was unable to perpetuate the in
famous Allen dynasy. He should
either shut up his whining, or else
give specifications, supported by
stronger evidence than his mere die
tnm.
