In the dark ages when the quantity Of

WILL IT?

The Oregon Alliance Herald takes up
the assertion Of prominent loan agent
that one good crop with fair prices will
destroy the industrial agitation, and asks
the following questions:
We would like to ask il one good crop
with fair prices will destroy railroad ex-
tortion?
Will it equallze the burdens Of taxa
tiOn?
Will 1t stop usury extortion?
Will 1t do away with child labor?
Will It give work to the millions Of
idle men in the country at remuneratlve
wages?
Will 1t give the millions of female en-
ployes living wages?
viii it destroy speculation In land, the
heritage of Gods children?
VIII 1t destroy speculation in the food
products Of the world?
viii it prevent the lockout Of honest
working people, thereby forcing up
prices by limiting the output?
Will 1t supply school facilities to the
millions Of children now crowded out?
Will 1t destroy the jobbery that now
exists In every branch of the public SER
vice, wringing millions out of the people
to satisfy the greed of a lot of slick
schemers?
VIII it secure an equal and exact ad-
ministration of justice to all people
alikeE
Will it shorten the hours Of toll?
Will 1t correct all or any of the damna-
BILE ills that have grown out of the past
political administrations of this country?
The time has passed when the farmers
will be satisfied with the mere fortune
Of good crops for season. What they
demand, and mark you what they are
going to have, Is the rights of American
citizenship, and just distribution OF the
products of labor. A reform is coming,
reform which Is too deep-seated In
mems minds TO be seriously injured by
the schemes Of political intriguers.

HONEST OR DISHONEST.

Dollars Of Any Kind.
Many of the leading papers Of the
country have much to say about honest
and dishonest dollars, in praise OF the one
aud dlsparagment Of the other. Have
we then in circulation q kind Of dollar
that differs from what a dollar should
be, and from others of its kind 80 much as
to merit the title of dishonor? What 10
an honest dollar? 1t Is manifest that
moral quality does not inhere In dollars
of any kind; they are but the tools Of
certain trade. If, therefore, the term
dishonest be applied to any dollars 1t
must be because the dollars are either
not properly made or not justly used.
The authority to make dollars Is by the
will Of the people vested in Congress. /
believe 1t is not intimated by any one
that dollars have been made in violation
of the will of the people as expressed In
law. Our dollars are then all honestly
made. The use Of dollars is to buy goods
and pay debts; and these are more differ
ent characteristics that at first sight ap-
pears.
In the buying of goods the dollar al
ways passes for what 1t is worth; 1t is
never forced upon the seller for more
or less than he thinks it worth; but in
the paying Of debts the creditor iE Obliged
to take it, and the debtor is obliged to
give it without any regard to its esti-
mated value.
1t is, therefore, In the matter of debt
paying that dollars find opportunity to
be dishonest, or more properly speaking,
that men give or take injustice by their
use. So the real question we are inves-
tigating resolves itself into this: Are
there any dollars in use with which
either creditor or a debtor may be
wronged in the paying of debtS If
there are any such it is a matter of
general concern that they be replaced
with honest dollars, because any govern
ment, or people, or civilization Ia doomed
80 soon as universal dishonesty becomes
a matter Of universal concern.
Regarded as a debt-payer, an honest
dollar is one that pays a debt exactly
giving neither more nor less than is due.
Just as marksman equally misses his
aim whether the shot goes to the right
or left, or above or below the mark, so q
dollar Is equally dishonest whether 1t
pays too much or too little.
Turning now from the consideration of
the theoretical dollars to that of the actual
dollars, we find that all Of our dollars,
whether made Of gold, silver or paper,
are equal both as purchasers and debt
payers, therefore we have no dishonest
dollars. If charge of wrong doing
would hold upon any of our dollars 1t
would be upon the gold one because it Is
the standard dollar.
While our dollars all do the work for
which they are made, our monetary sys-
tenn does injustice to very many, per-
haps to the majority of the people. We
have decreased the number of dollars,
thus increasing the value Of those that
remain, until debts Of long standing have
been added to as much as one third in
amount.

WE PROVED IT. TOO.


1t charges the Capital with lying abOutthe mort
gage payments, thus tacltIy admitting that our
mortgage reports If true, leave the calamity ras"
calls no gronnd to stand On.-CGpttdL
Yes, we charged the Capital with
lying about the mortgage reports,
and we proved it, too, What has the
Capital to say in relation to its re-
pert of the mortgage foreclosures In
Shawnee county last fall? Does it
still adhere to the statement that
there had been but two in the pre-
ceding six months? If the Capital
lied about its own county, where the
records were said to have been per
sonally examined, We submit that we
have a right to infer that it has lied
about others. In fact we have proved
that it lied in other instances, but
when thus proven guilty Of deliberate
falsehood it is as silent as the tomb
in relation to the matter in question.
1t is easier to tell new lie than to
rebut the testimony establishing the
old one.
The Capital, furthermore, as usual,
either utterly fails to comprehend, or
wilfully misrepresents the basis upon
which this reform movement rests.
AS a matter of information, which it is
not really expected will be utilized
in the sanctum of the "oficisl state
paper" we desire to say that this
calamity howl of the Republican
press is entirely gratuitous. Like
many other things it has been IN
vented by the enemies of this move
meht to blind the eyes of the people
to the true causes that have occs-
stoned the great uprising of the peo-
pie. It is true, attention has been
frequently called to the condition Of
the country and of the people; but
this condition is the result of causes
which the Capital and all other pa
pers of its ilk entirely ignore, while
they continue to reiterate the non.
sensicsl charge that the Alliance and
the Peoples party is the outgrowth
of crop failures in Kansas. The fact
is entirely overlooked that this Ali.
ance movement has been gradually
growing and gaining strength during
the past fifteen years, throughout
both the northern and southern
states.
We rejoice in the hope that, not
only the people of Kansas, but of
other states are likely to realize a
fair profit from their products of the
present year This, instead of break
ing up the Alliance and the Peoples
party will give the people something
with which to continue their resis-
tence to the wrongs which have been
inflicted upon them, with renewed
vigor and effect. If the old parties
really believed what they say in this
matter-thst one good crop and
good prices will put an end to this
movement, they would see to it that

Woodford w. Longmoor, the Clerk of
the Court of Appeals, died suddenly in
the Convention hall at Frankfort on
Friday evening last. While talking with
a party of gentlemen, and almost imme-
diately after the remark that he never
felt better in his life, his face was seen
to twitch as from pain, and he called for
drink of water. This was handed him,
and he drank it and seemed to revive.
Leaning upon the arm of friend he
started to go to his Office, but at the door
of the hall remarked that his left leg
was paralyzed (the other was amputated
at the hip during the war; He was
laid upon sofa in the cloak room, aud
his family hastily summoned, but he ex-
pired in few minutes and was never
conscious of the presence of his loved
ones. The Court will probably appoint
Green b. Adams, his deputy and brother
in-law, to the position until August,
when his successor will be elected.

Since our last issue an anonymous letter
mailed at the Hazel Green postoflice, and
intended for us, though addressed to
another person, was intercepted and de-
stroyed. This we regret very much, for,
though we make il rule not to publish
anything unless it is signed by respon-
sible party, we should have departed
from our custom in this particular case
and have given the communication the
airing it deserved. We did not get it,
and we are therefore denied the pleasure
we might otherwise today have enjoyed.
The young man who did get it and who
destroyed it, says that it was insulting,
filthy and threatening. Anonymous com
munications are the weapons Of the Com
munist, hut for six years or more we
have lived in this community and at
peace with the world, not dreaming that
any organization so dangerous to society
as the Commune was secretly working
in our midst. And even now, notwith-
standing the threats of the anonymous
letter writer, there is not a man, woman,
or child, of whatever political or relig-
ious faith, to whom we can not extend
the right-hand of fellowship and back it
up with our friendship. Personally we
have not an iota of ill-will toward any
fellow mortal in the whole world, how
ever much we may differ with them. 1t
is the province of newspaper TO stand
up for the rights guaranteed to American
citizens, and this prerogative we intend
to exercise so long as we run this paper,
ut least. Affairs of Church and State
come within the scope of a newspaper,
and whenever the peoples rights are
trampled upon, no matter in how small a
that people may be, we intend
to defend those rights. Equal and exact
justice to all, with special privileges to
none, is the only demand we make, and
so far AZ rests within our humble power
we snail insist upon this demand being
with. The HERALD has been
always for the right. 1t asks for nothing
but right. 1t will insist upon having
right. In this simple demand we have
the endorsement of all intelligent people,
and they condemn the anonymous letter.
writer in severe terms. Now, in conclu-
sion, we wish to respectfully remind the
Communistic correspondent that anony-
nous letters and bull-dozing threats will
in no wise deter us from doing our duty
rs we see it, and doing it upon all Occa-
siOns. If, however, this Communistic
course is endorsed by the people of this
they have only TO say so, and
we will depart in peace. Better that
than to be murdered by an assassin.

Kentucky Reserved for Kentuckians.


In the current number of the Fort
mighty Review, one of the leading
magazines of England, the Duke of MARI
borough, who, as everybody remembers,
married Mrs. Hammersly, of New York,
has very entertaining article on horse
breeding in Kentucky. 1t closes with
this advice to his English friends:
eco to Kentucky and see for yourself
what the country is Your ancestors
went out there $50 years ago, and their
descendants live there. There is plenty
of room for more: there are plenty of
farms TO be had for prices you can afford
to give. You will enjoy refined home
in which to settle and bring up your
children. Instead of going to the North
to invest in prairie lands, turn your steps
to Kentucky, and you will bless me for
having written these few notes on the
old homesteads of Kentucky and admir-
able breed of trotting horses"
On Tuesday last the Convention which
has been so long sitting at Frankfort,
Ky, engaged in the drafting of new
Constitution, which is to be presented,
when they get through, if they ever do
get through, to the voters of the grand
old Commonwealth for approval or rejec-
ton, adopted, in Committee of the
Whole, the following provision:
No one not citizen of the United
States or who has not lawfully declared
his intention to become such citizen,
shall acquire by purchase any lands or
interest therein in this Commonwealth !;
nor shall any one not a citizen of the
United States hold or own any lands or
interest therein for term longer than
eight years"
Now, this is not new feature in law.
Aside from the eight year scheme
which no Court ought to, and probably
none will, sustain against vested right
it has been often heard of. 1t was the
common law of Great Britain and both
Coke and Blackstone eloquently sustain
it, upon the ground that foreigners ought
not to be permitted to overcome coun-
try through the purchase of its soil.
Many of our States have, by statute,
established the same principle; and, if
memory serves, the Congress of the Uni.
ted States has placed restrictions upon
foreign purchase of vast tracts of our
National domain.
But, if Kentucky will kindly permit
the suggestion, State Constitution is
not a good place in which to legislate
The people may change their minds, and
it is hard to change Constitution, The
best of Constitutions are those that are
shortest. Aside from the outline of Gov
eminent and the Bill of Rights little is
needed. When you go beyond and seek,
in the fundamental law, to usurp the
province of legislation, you make sad
and serious trouble for coming genera
tions,
1t is better to leave legislation to the
Legislature.-Cin. Enquirer, March 20.
