Pail Mall Budget.
The budget OF the Paris Opera House varies
from little under 100000 francs to little
over 100000. Salaries are paid to no loss
than 700 persons. The enumeration is inter-
esting and curious. Artists, which means
singers, 30; ballet dancers, $50; chorus, so;
orchestra 100; at the booking Offices 30;
carpenters, so; gasmen, Is; dressers, 90 of each
sex; ballet masters, stage managers, prompters,
etc, 15. So the list runs on till we get to the
full number. The claque only get their adj
missions-from 60 to 80 tickets for the pit
some OF which they may dispose Of Every
artiss has right to a dresser, who has charge
OF his wardrobe and conducts his toilet, but
the artist may have his own valet if he prefer
it. The chorus get each about !, ,5O00f Il year,
but they combine the opera with singing in
the choirs of churches and also of the con
servatories, and have their special employ
ments during the day. The leader Of the
orchestra gets 12,000f a year, and the lesser
lights from l,500f. to 3,0OOf., but they stand out
for their status, Meyerbeer used to call them
"Messieurs les Professors" and the tradition
remains Then there are the dancers. the

a. q. p. Liar..

From the address to the people OF
the United States issued by the ex-
ecutive committee of the peoples par
ty last Friday, we quote the follow
ing:
GAS a striking illustration OF the
colossal lies with which the people
are fed and misled, we would point
to the vote of the Peoples Party this
year in the state of Kansas. Nine
tenths of thepopulation of this coun-
try, in consequence of the gross mis-.
representation of the press, believe
that the Peoples Party vote OF Kan
sas in 1891 fell off very greatly from
their vote in 1890, while the official
publication of the vote taken this
year shows that altogether the total
vote of all parties in Kansas was
about 30, 900 less than it was a year
ago, the Peoples party vote was act
ually increased about LIZ per cent
over it's vote in 1890, or Al per cent
of the entire vote.
The Republican majority in South
Dakota was reduced from 10000 in
1890 to 2,7OO in 1891, while in Ne
braska it came within 800 of defeat
ing both the old parties and elected
II district Judges.
It was given out cold by the old
party press during the past week
that the alliance of the west and
northwest was "split" in twain over
the sub-treasury scheme. Just put
that lie along side of this fact, pub.
lished in Saturdays papers, and SEE
how it looks:
DAYTON, Wash, Nov. 2O.-The
State Farmers Alliance last night
elected B. F. Ravens president. Reso
buttons were adopted favoring the
sub-treasury scheme, the third party
movement and free and unlimited
coinage OF domestic silver; also reso
lutions we're adopted favoring a tar
if for revenue only and the elections
of presidents and United States sen
ators by the direct vote OF thu
people.

Authorities on Money,

DR.. C. W. Trice, of Tecumseh, Neb.,
in the New York Truth Seeker, cites
the following:
1t 1.-THE government may coin
money and regulate it's value; may
call ten grains of silver and make it
so; or it may coin pot metal into
dollars.-John Sherman, Secretary
of the Treasury.
A itigant in the Supreme Court OF
Iowa, who had loaned gold dollars,
objected to receiving greenback dol
lars in payment. He claimed they
were not worth as much as the ones
he had loaned. The Supreme Court
Of Iowa says: "The gold dollar is
not a commodity having an intrinsic
value, but money having only a
statutory value. And every dollar
has the same value, without regard
to the material" Baker on Money
Monopoly.
The theory of the intrinsic value
OF money has been abandoned by the
best writer's and speakers.-Encyclo-
padia BRITANNICA.
Money is a value created by law,
a statutory value. The value OF
metallic money is created by law.
It's basis is legal, not MATERIAL
Henri Cernuschi.
Metallic money, while acting as coin,
is Identical with paper money in res
pect to being destitute of intrinsic
value.-North British Review.
Money is not substance, but an
impression of legal authority, a
printed legal decree.-United States
Supreme Court.
Legally there is no such thing as
gold or silver money, or paper
money. Money is the sovereign au-
thority impressed on that capable
of taking and retaining the impress.
sion. That upon which it is stamped
is called coin; the coin may bemetal
parchment or paper. The value is
in the stamp, and not in the metal
or material.-Judge Tiffany's Con.
stitutional Law.
The intrinsic value idea of money
was the idea in the days OF crude
barbarism. The simplest and most
perfect form OF money is that which
represents nothing but transferable
debt, such as paper, It is only wher
states have reached high degree O
civilization that they adopt this per
feet form of money.-Rees' Encyclo
padia.
Treasury notes secured by the
pledges OF the faith and credit OF the
government, with or without in
terest, will make better currency thar
gold or silver.-Victor Bonnet.
Gold and silver, forever fuctuatine
in their own value, can never b.

Smith.
