LOGICAL REASONING.

" Too Much Money" Impossib:e--Mc
and Bank Money n Loss to the Public.
The experience with our fractional
currency should forever put m end to
any discussion concerning the limita-
ton of the currency issue. For, rs any
one can see, when the amount is left as
it should be, to be regulated by the de-
mands of business, the proper limit has
been reached.
The act by which the fractional cur
rcncy was created provided for an is
sue of fifty millions. but the demands
of business required only about thirty
millions. This was enough to enable
the people to easily perform all the ex-
changes for which this portion of the
currency was fitted: nobody asked for
more. There was never any imitation
or contraction of our fractional cur
rency, any more than there can be such
n thing with our postage stamps. Any
body who wanted fractional currency
could buy as much as he paid for with
greenhacks at any Office of the Treas
urv.
There was no glu. Or scarcity pos
sihle. The whole bus ness of speculat-
ing in money was absolutely impossible,
as far rs our fractional currency was
concerned, except with the miserable
metallic substitutes for money with
which the world has, up to this time,
tried to get along.
Why should not the same method be
used for the issue of all our money?
There is no reason under heaven why
this should no. be done.
just as long as ground for specula-
ton is afforded to bankers and other
gamblers by intrusting the issue of
money to individuals or corporations.
just so long will alternate times of ex-
cess and scarcity afford to the shylocks
the chance they seek for robbing pro-
ductive labor.
In every metallic dollar there is, &C.
cording to the hard-money theory, one
dollar of metallic value. Then, in adj
dition to this, there is another dollar of
monetary value, obtained by stamping
1t with the certitieation Of the sovereign
ty Of its value. Thus, in each metallic
dollar there is: Metallic value, 81
monetary value, 81; total, -.
Of these only the last is used, so
that for every metallic dollar in circula-
ton there is a loss of -.
For every dollar note issued by a
national bank there is 81 on interest,
in some bond. and II in some security
given by the borrower from the bank.
Loss to the public of -.
In every greenhack dollar there is a
monetary value of 81.
thus hard money or bank money
costs twice what greenbacks do, and il
on no other reason than economy, the
producers, who have to pay all that is
paid, should stop this drain. Out of
the question we will leave the moral
considerations, since they deal with the
spiritual life Of the nation: and conse-
quently are above all money valuation.
Still let us Just say here that for every
metallic dollar some one has engaged
in the gambling business of mining,
with the hope of getting more value
than he gives in labor. For every bank
note for dollar both the banker and
the borrower hope and seek to get more
value than they give, while for every
greenback an equal amount Of security
is exchanged. -Ed,rard HO,cland, in

l think that Kansas is the garden
spot of the United States. We have
fine churches and schools, and the
very best kind of people. Land here
is very high, ranging from $40 to $50
per acre. Stock is also high. Wheat
sells at 50 cents per bushel, corn 30
cents and oats % cents. Game IS
plenty, and we can hear the wolves
bowling every night. Considerable
rain has fallen in the last few days,
and consequently the roads are mud
dy, as l presume they are in Garrett
about this time. The water is hard,
which is not desirable, especially to
those used to soft water. Wood is
scarce, but there is plenty of coal. l

just as certain as the little rill Is

voice that warns him from time to
Time to pull for the shore when he

perance, and when he would reform
ne finds himself unable to do so.
lhere are many to secure whose
safety the Niagara of intemperance
must be bridged by some preventa-
tive, as Local Option. Some may act
In this matter through prejudice;
some may labor with view to bust
ness affairs; some may show an in
difference to the result either way,
while Others may use it as political
scheme; but to secure the welfare and
happiness of all men, to protect help
less women and children, and to res.
che pershing men from the ruin and
bitterness of intemperance, are the
true motives that should actuate men
to labor for or against Local Option.
ANY one prompted to action by such
motives can but labor to secure its
passage, for since it is conceded that
intempennce is embittering the en-
joyment of many lives, men who
work for tae good of humanity, must
favor Local Option, must favor any
measure that has for its aim and end
the removal of intoxicating drinks

unable to withstand their tempta-
