ABOUT A CASH BASIS.

The Linden Standard takes The GA
zETTE to task for revealing what it
conceived to be the folly of MAGNETISM
in the matter of the money supply.
The Standard appears to misunder-
stand the point made by The GAZETTE,
which was that money enough to put
business on cash basis would make it
SO plentiful as so be worthless, and that
when Macune and his paper, the Ma
tional Economist, urged such a plan,
they talked at random, and without an
adequate knowledge of the situation.
THE GAZETTE did not say that more
money was undesirable or unnecessary,
and does not now say that the amount
asked for by the Standard, to-wit :
Three and quarter billions, would be
ruinous expansion, although it would
perhaps be triie excessive. But
what world of difference there is be-
tween that and the cash basis sup
ply of the Economist. The trouble
with the Standard and other
papers like 1t is that they confound

THE PEOPLE AND THE BANKS.

To calm and unprejudiced mind,
the assertions of Hon. J. F. Miller in
his speech to the bankers convention
at Austin last week on the attitude
OF the masses toward banks" would
seem trifie sweeping.
1t does not follow that because the
the farmers organization is opposed to
national banks, that farmers are as a
rule hostile to banks or banking. The
premise does not warrant the con-
clusion. The Democratic party of
Texas has pronounced against national
banks. Is it, too, hostile to all banks?
For years the Democratic party has re-
garded national banks with disfavor.
Was it because the attitude of the
masses toward banks is hostile? AS
well say that opposition to the tariff
means hostility to all methods of taxa
ton.
Opposition to the national bank sys-
tenn is one thing, and hostility to banks
quite another and for different thing.
The first is championed by the ALI
ance, and the second by anarchists if
by any one. Neither the farmers nor
any other class of producers feel any
hostility toward banks. II would be
unreasonable and the height of folly
for them to do SO. Without banks,
they would be as helpless as a man
without hands or feet. They know
this as well as anybody can tell them.
AS to the great dangers menacing
all our institutions from labor organi-
cations and the Farmers Alliance, as
stated by Mr.. Miller, we think it exists
largely in the gentleman's imagina-
ton. His assertions under this head
appear to involve a denial to labor
and to farmers of the right to organ
ize for purposes of mutual benefit
and protection. Such right could
only, it appears, be denied to slaves.
Unless their organizations violate
some civil or moral law they certainly
can not be very heirous, for whatever

How far can man go in repelling
the assailants of his property, and if he
goes so far as to cause homicide, shall
it be viewed as justifable?
This is question that is soon to be
submitted to the Colorado courts for
adjudication. Strikers interfered with
the non-union workmen whom F. N.
Davis had employed to take their places,
and Davis and the workmen, in the
struggle that ensued, shot and killed
two Of the strikers. Was the killing
murder? II man may not protect his
property from destruction, or his en-
plOyes from assault the law should give
him the protection that he is not
allowed to supply by his own means.
A case occurred in Pennsylvania
some years ago, where millionaire
mine owner shot and killed man who,
he asserted, was in the act of trying to
wreck his property. He was arrested,
tried and upon conviction sentenced to
the penitentiary for a long term of
years. and we believe he is still in con-
tilement

THE HARMONY OF HATE.

The way to win the affections Of G
certain class of people is to hate whom
they hate. This hatred is bond of
sympathy. 1t doesn't matter whether
the haters have any mutually OF feel
ing or not, if they stand together on
that one point.
This is the only way to account for
the sudden and surprising burst of adj
miration for the late Senator Blair
among professional labor agitators,
especially those in the West. They
are down on the Chinese. Blair is
down on the Chinese, since they gave
him to understand that he was not the
kind of a man they wanted to repre-
sent this country at their imperial
court. So Blair and the laborites are
agreed that 'the Chinese must 60"
The new-found friends and champions
of the late rejected demand that his
wounds be healed by an appointment
as immigration commissioner. His fit
ness for the position is not taken &C
count of. He might make good i'm
migration commissioner or he might
make poor one, but that has nothing
to do with the case. He hates the
Chinese. They hate the Chinese. So
give him a public office and let him
draw salary from the public crib

AN alarming thought to the people
of the Northern states is that the birth
rate is so much greater in the South
than in the North. This has had the
effect of keeping the rate Of increase of
population in the Southern states
ahead of the North, Notwithstanding
that the greater part of the foreign
immigration goes to the Northern
states. The South is taking care of
itself and doing it well, when it comes

cash basis with the sub treasury mad
ness. The farmer borrows so per cent
of the market value of his wheat or
cotton from the government, and at
once business is said to be on a cash
basis. If there were money enough to
place business on a cash basis, there
would be no such thing as wholesale
borrowing and going in debt to the
government or to any one else. Bor-
rowing money to do business on cash
basis sounds a trife nonsensical. 1t is
about on par with the tariff argu-
ment that increased taxes make in
creased wealth. An increase of the
per capita money supply such as pru-
dent and experienced inanciers sug-
gest, is one thing, and Macuneism
quite another.

THE CHIEF OF THE ALLIANCE.

Mr.. Polk, president Of the National
Farmers Alliance, has fallen a victim
| to the interviewer. In answer to ques-
tons put by a reporter, he said that if
the Democrats and the Republicans. or
either of these parties refused to give
the farmers what they demanded, a
third party would be formed. He has
hopes of better things from the Fifty
second congress than the Fifty-frst
gave the country. The most pressing
need of the people is more money. This,
he says, is the paramount question.
Silver legislation in the direction of
free and unlimited coinage would be
step in the right path. but free and I'M
limited coinage would not supply
enough money. There is not, he says,
man belonging to the industrial
classes who will support any ticket that
does not stand for friendship toward
silver. Cleveland is not satisfactory.
The people of his state will not support
Mr.. Cleveland if he is nominated, and
they do not want an Eastern man for
president He has no particular man
in view for the presidency, but thinks
the Southern Alliance would like some
clean, patriotic man from the North
west. The Alliance, as an organiZa-
ton, can have nothing to do with the
Cincinnati meeting, which is called for
the avowed purpose of starting q third
party movement. He does not believe
that it would be polite to take so rad
ical step, and would like to have SEN
sible men sent as delegates to the meet
ing to keep it from committing the AL
lance to rash measures.
This is a succinct statement of the
views of the chief of the Alliance, and
they show that he takes no stock in the
third party movement, though the
farmers will refuse to support the can
didates OF either of the two parties that
are worthy OF consideration, unless
their demands are allowed. If those
demands are held to include an indorse-
ment of the sub-treasury scheme, it is
very certain that Mr.. Folks people
will have to start political family OF
their own. Both the republicans and
Democrats are kindly disposed toward
silver, and their platforms are likely to
show favor to free and unlimited coin

HERE is a description of Brown
county, in Indiana, which may lead
some of us to believe that modern prog
ress may not be the best and surest
means in the world to reach an ideal
social state of affairs: 'sThere is not
railroad or a saloon in the county, and
no one has been sent to the penitentiary
for several years. At the last sessions
the grand jury found but two indict-
ments, and they for trivial offenses.
The county hasn't cent of debt and
has a small surplus in the treasury.
Nearly every man owns his own farm
a small one. DR.. Cook is the wealthiest
man in the county, being worth $50, 900
or 5000 The county gives 900 Dem
ocratic majority, and the pension roll
exceeds the value of the agricultural
products"

HOW TILE MONEY GOES.

The crops that the South and West
markets will bring hundreds ofmillions
to the producers. The cotton crop
alone, estimated at 100000 bales, will
at nine cents pound, call for $780,
600, 1000. which the Southern states will
drain from the money centers. The
wheat and corn OF the West will call
for as much more. With all this money
we should not feel the stringency Of
financial hard times, if we could keep
the money with us.
But this can't be done. 1t will not
stay here long enough to make
acquaintance with us before taking its
departure for the East, from whence
it came. The farmers will pay their
debts to the local merchants. The
local merchant will remit to balance
accounts with the wholesalers and
manufacturers of the East. And then,
about the lst of January, the annual or
semi-annual interest on a good many
hundred million dollars OF Eastern
mortgages will fall due, and some of
the principal. So, with interest on
borrowed money and the transmutation
of cheap raw materials into expensive
manufactured articles, the East gets
back in few weeks the money that the
Western producers have toiled all the
year for. And that's the way the
money goes.

AHAPPY GOVERNMENT.

For two or three weeks the head of
the government, accompanied with
some of his cabinet officers, has
been touring across the continent and
back, while some OF the most impor-
tant public questions are pressing for
settlement. The Behring sea contro-
versey with England still threatens
serious complications, while the pres
ident acknowledges the compliment of
a very fine nosegay from the school
children of Shacknasty county, Col.
The question of indemnity to Italian
citizens is laid aside, while the presi-
dent steps out upon the platform of a
Pullman car and tells delegation of
miners that silver may or may not be
very good money, but he can't say. Insur-
gent subjects of friendly power vio-
late the neutrality laws and it is thirty
hours before the junketing govern
ment can be communicated with and
make up its mind to send war ship to
capture if possible, the vessel that has
insulted our neutrality. The secretary
of the treasury doesn't know, by the
present system of bookkeeping,
whether the government is bankrupt
or has $3.50, 900, 900 in its vaults and he.
awaits the return of the presidential
party before making up his mind what
to do about it. Meanwhile the jaunting
car with the president and his cabinet
ministers and his wife and friends
rolls serenely on across the Western
prairies, stopping only at intervals to
make new speech.
What happy-go-lucky sort OF gov
eminent it is that can spare its chief
executive while all these embarrassing
questions are in the air.

IN OUR public life there are occa-
sional charges OF dishonesty and many
of these charges are doubtless true, but
our national congress is not tainted
with the gross, revolving immortality
that appears to pervade the English
parliament. Capt. Verney, an eminent
member Of that body, has just been ex-
PEELED and sent to prison for practices
so bestial as to exclude him from de-
cent consideration. But few months
ago the world was made acquainted
with the adulterous connection of Par
nell with Mrs. OShea, which, had not
his moral sensibilities been clad in the
hide of a rhinoceros, would have COM
PEELED his withdrawal from the public
gaze. And it is only a few years since

ming to emerge. As nation we are
