The Topeka Capital is now shouting
as Justify as anybody for more money,
plenty OF it, and quickl When the peo-
pie were complaining last summer and
the summer before, Of the scarcity Of
money, the Capital and papers which
followed its lead, ridiculed the idea,
and said IL money were as
plentiful as it was during the war,
these "howlers" would never have any.
What has come oyer Its vision, that it
now sees way of getting money into
the hands of the peoplep We care not
for the means of Its conversion, so it is
truly converted, and as it is a new con-
vert we expect it to shout louder than
those who have long been working in
the good cause.

FIAT MONEY.

TO Issue Grain Certifcates-The Jobbers
and Grain Dealers to Try the Sub-Treas-
pRy Plan Upon Private Account.
The rumor that the mIllers Of the North
west are issuing scrip in consequence of the
financial stringenc. may be explained bv
ene fact that the grain men of Minneapolis
have proposed plan by which they will
avoid the necessity of borrowing money at
half per cent. and by which the North west
will be furnished practically with so much
additional currency. Under this plan grain
certificates are TO be adopted by the jobbers
IS money for their goofs. The grain man
would pay the farmer for his wheat; the
farmer in turn would pay the grocer and
the general store, and the store man at last
would pay the jobber for his goods-all with
the same certificates The certificates are

Kelly, who was delegated on the part of the
Minneapolis jobbers to breach the matter to

wheat held by farmers"
So says recent press dispatch, The
seed sown by the advocates OF the sub.
treasury plan is doing its perfect work,
From the above it is seen that its prin.
eiples are to be practically applied in
the great grain centers OF the Nation.
The main features OF the plan are
recognized as legitimate and the bene-
fits accruing to the farmer conceded.
It is quite significant that these men,
who handle grain in immense auantiy

or impossible in the details of storing,
grading, etc, which have been such an
insurmountable barrier to certain Con-

help are Ben Glover and John Otis.
Like the other grangers they are both
endless takers. Otis has belonged at

country except to the democracy. He
is . Vermont man, and although a
farmer he is graduate of the Harvard
law school; but politically he is an in
veterate crank, and will raise more
trouble on the floor than any Of his col
leagues. Ben Clover is a harmless sort
of a fellow who will be the quiet man OF

ELI Talks Back.

ED. INDEX: see that in last weeks Cresset
am taken to task about what said in regard
TO the reception of our Harvey county visitors
II Citizen IS right about there being thirty
or forty citizens on the platform when these
visitors arrived, then owe the public an apol-
ogy for having overlooked these citizens.
But 1t seems to me the Cresset has fallen in
to habit of abusing persons who do not agree
with it's editor. But wish to give the Cresset
credit for saying Mr.. Musgrove is just the
man for state printer. Now if he will say
good word about our friend Harry Lands. we
may expect great improvement in the Cres-
set.
did not write that article TO abuse anybody,
as does the person who signs the name "Citi-
Zen," and am sorry anyone should take it in
that light. don't pretend to know what Jerry
Simpson told these farmers, but if the Cresset
or Citizen had asked them if they were out
of debt, the answer would have been "No"
And If had told them that our county was
free of debt they could easily have proven by
the records that was lying. ELI BENEDICT.
