The History of It,

The Dallas News, in discussing the origin of the sub-Treasury scheme, delves into history in an- swer to Col. Livingstone, who claims that it is the first plan by which the poor can borrow, according to se- curity, as easily as the rich. It says |:
 Col. Livingstone is not quite right himself when he claims that the sub Treasury plan is the first plan which has ever provided for the poor to borrow according to their security as readily as the rich. But here again some allowance may have to be made, perhaps he is not referring to this proposal specifically, but to it's fun damental characteristic. The fact IS, however, that the principle has had numerous discoverers and eX- pounders at different times and in different countries. Col Living stone is presumed 10 be honest in his belief, but he has not read enough on finance and its history. It is not surprising that the sub-rrcasurv plan seems original tO the public. There has been an avOldance of instruction rather than a dissemination of it in the influential press on this subject in deference to established financial institutions, and it is still no easy matter for the average citizen to ob- tain a key to what has been written that does not support the existing money monopoly, unless it he one of the vagaries which the sagacious eXploiters have no reason to fear. One of the most striking evidences of systematic obscurantism is con- tained in the fact that the British publishers, who have ransacked France and Germany for works to translate and print, have never touched any of Proudhon's works, which cover vast range of ecOnom- ical subjects. His "Banke du Peu- pie" has never been printed in the English language, though it made a deep impression in France during the revolution, and under the empire of Napoleon III Yet It is plain treatise on an important subject by an author so well versed in the bus mess, theoretically and practically, that another of his volumes, a Man ual for Spectators on the Paris Stock Exchange, is said to have been the best hook of reference of it's kind. The taboo system has al- most eXtinguished several small works in the English language of some theoretical value on finance. A furious political agitation will proba- bly, in time resurrect several ante cedent treatises on landed property. By all means, then, let fearlessly honest and all pardonahly ignorant advocates of the sub-Treasury plan proclaim it's originality. They may pique their industrious critics to search for evidence to refute the pretension. and investigation will perhaps bring out more of the his' tory of the Rhode Island colonial land bank than the Century Maga- zine has given and cause tue reissue of writings that slumber in out of the way corners of private libraries.

 The King of Siam-wel, no"' said Beulah, smiling, But Robt. Craig is not Mongolian, my dear. He is rich and good looking and ] clever as can be. "
 Bah" said Amy, as she knotted her veil above the fluffy coil of blonde hair Il almost hate him already.'
 That is what he sad about you - BcuIah observed, coolly,
 Then he has some sense" Amy replied. "Come, Beulah, let Us alone, There is no use trying to strike an Austruther-C Craig alliance just for the sake of raking up the family arms. What do we Americans care for the Duke of Anstruther and the earl of Craig: My grandfather kept a shop, you know, and Henry Craig was q wholesale shoe manufac- turcr. You might as well let us go on being common. There, I'm all ready. Where's Dicky?"
 An infant warwhoop in the hall was her reply
 With the small author of that yell she went to the merry-go-round pa viIlion, but the ring of flying animals had started, and Amy and Diclly sat down to wait. Near them was a lit tie girl, perfect fairy, in white, with long floating hair and pleading eyes.
 ''Please, Uncle Bert, won't you let me go" she coaXed gentleman be- side her. Il won't get hurt See! There's Nellie Graham riding camel all alone. Please let me go!"
 "Charlotte, you mustn't ask me, dear Iour mother told me to take care of you, and l don't know what she thinks of merry-go-rounds. l couldn't think of letting you % alone.
 The child was silent; but Amy saw great tears rolling down her cheeks, and said very qnickly: If you don't mind your little girl can go with our Dicky, Dicky, you'l Il take care of her, won't you dear: Dicly's an old merry-go-roundcr. '
 "Oh!" cried Charlotte. May I, Uncle Bert 7"
 Do you think it is all right?" the gentleman inquired, looking at Amy.
 "Oh, yes; it's perfectly safe. Let her %. She will enjoy it.
 The gong rung, and Dicky held out his hands. "Thc Little Fisher Maiden" was ground out gaiIy from the organ, and Charlotte mounted the camel.
 Amy found her companion delight ful. IL was j o'clock when the chil- drcn came back, with their tickets all gone.
 Come back tomorrow, said Dichy, hospitably. We come here every afternoon, don't we Aunt Amy
 Amy blushcd.
 II am certainly very much obliged to you, Master Dick said the gen tlcman warmly.
 Amy bowed rather nervously and hurried away.
 The merry go-round grew more and more attractive. Dicky spent a child'- fortune on it, and Charlotte rode every animal in the caravan. Amy and "Uuclc Bert" in the mean while, talked and-took care of the children

Periods In weather.

A Swiss meteorologist, Prof. Bruckner
has demonstrated the existance OF fairly
regular periods Of about 80 years in the
climate Of the whole earrh. These are
most marked it the interior of continents.
The years 100, l740, 1850, 1878, 1850
and 1880 seem to have been centres OF
warm dry periods; while the years l72O,
l76O, 1895 1880 and 1860 were centres
of cold wet periods. The passage OF

Great men are now the scarcest
article on earth. The grave has
secured corner on them-and even
the inspiration Of their genius is sift-
ed through corrupt and venal politi-
clans. The stage, the law, music,
statecraft, historical philosophy,
pOesy, all are out at the elbows. In
their place we have q race of political
place hunters, standers-in, jury brib-
ers, stage ranters, local swash- buck
lers (harmonics), and men who roll
out hogwash in public and intrigue
in secret. What desert of intellect.
Truly Ignatius Donnelly is today the
only masterful man in the west, and
we know of no equal in the east.

Notice to Subscribers
Every week the Mail Clerk of the
GREAT WEST, or the assistant, takes
out of the mail lists a certain num-
Der of names whose subscriptions
are over a month past expiration.
Now some of our very warmest
friends may be thus removed from
the list. But bear in mind that the
Editor does not know this-the list
is 80 far up in the thousands that it
has long since passed from our per-
sonal supervision. Subscription ad-
ditions or changes will average fully
fifty a day. and it is wholly in the
hands of the office force. The num-
Der of the paper, hereafter, will be in
large type at the left hand side OF
the paper head, on first page. See
what your No. on printed address
is, and you can tell at what number
your subscription expires.

Last Monday night did not reflect
any credit on the state legislature
of Minnesota. On account of the
McHale bill Ito make stage girls
wear skirts) the ''Crystal Slipper"
management invited the House to
attend in a body. They disgraced
themselves by throwing business to
the dogs and going. The afternoon
adjournment was until 11:3O p. M!
At 11:3O they assembled again in the
Hall, and pandemonium reigned.
Members discussed where "the flies
go in winter?'-'where McAllister
spends his nights" etc. They flung
documents across the hall, and in
one case damned a waste-basket
down over the head of speaker
creating bowls of laughter and
gleeful old time. Meantime, blood
suckers 1uin the state. 1t was no.
ticed that our Alliance friend, Gildea,
was not present. So a committee
was sent to hunt him up at midnight
and drag him in. This fracas marks
the stern character of the delibera-
tions for which many a clown
was sent here. 1t tells the story of
how they sorrow over the sad wants
of man, and the desolation OF debt
which has crept over the northwest
like as the leprosy OF sand over
Syria.
When stern, honest, patriotic,
burning MEN get together in the
capitol such miserable circusses will
be adjourned to the concert-rooms
in blind Easements.

A Caution.

The average amount of q farm mort
gage in this country is a trifle over
$500. We wish to caution our re-
form journals about taking 500 as
the average, which has been done by
several. We gathered the figures OF
over ten million dollars in mort
cages, and the average was over
$500. These figures were taken from
Kansas and Minnesota-and are Off
cial.
In this case the nine millions of
farm mortgages furnished by the U.
S. Census yields a farm debt of AZ
billions, or more than twice the ma
tional debt after four years of war.
Again, let it be distinctly under
stood that these 9, OOO, 900 of mort
cages do NOT include mortgages on
rented farms!
