article of consumption. 1t must
never be regarded as valuable ex-
cept for the work it performs, SO long
as it remains in the state of coin. It
can be converted at pleasure into an
end, into an article OF consumption,
by being sold; till then it is mere
tool.
How many people ever SO con
vert" it that earn 1t?
The great philosopher, Bishop
Berkeley, one OF the most acute reas-
oners, in my judgment, that modern
times have produced. in the s'Querist'
published in ITO, propounds the fol-
lowing pertinent and suggestive
question: ).
Whether the terms ..crown," s'livre
pounds sterling" ETC., are not to be
considered as opponents, or denomi-
nations? And whether gold, silver,
and paper are not tickets or counters
for reckoning recording or transfer
ring such denominations? Whether
the denominations being retained, al
though the bullion were gone, things
might not nevertheless be rated,
bought and sold, industry promoted
and a circulation of commerce OBJ
tanned?

II Il Not Honest.

The country is being flooded with a
publication called the Honest Dol
lar" 1t is printed in Boston, under
the direction of Edward Atkinson no
doubt, and is sent out free of cost.
1t is sent out in the interest OF the
money owners of Boston, Wall street
and the East, and against the free
coinage of silver and the sub.treas-
ury plans. 1t contains extracts from
any and all papers that are opposed
to an increase of currency and are
advocating the plutocracy Of money,
such as the News and Courier, New
York Sun, Tribune, Chicago World,
and other journals of similar charac-
ter. No doubt the members Of the
Alliance will be flooded with this
kind of literature. 1t must be re-
membered that Mr.. Porter, OF the
census bureau, has been trying to
get the names of all Alliance men,
bers. The reason for this will soon
appear.

Should Blush for Shame.

The falseness Of our present social
condition is but natural result of
our labors in the past. We have
been hiring men to regulate our af-
fairs and guide the ship OF state into
the channel of prosperity and hAppi-
ness, but instead of fulfilling their
sacred trust and legislating, like true
statesman, for posterity, they have
disregarded their solemn obligations
and occupied their time promoting
self interests. Why are there so
many millionaires in the senate! is
a question that causes the patriotic
American citizen to blush for shame
and plainly reveals the true condi-
ton of American politics. Do you
think that If wise and wholesome
immigration laws had been enacted
ten years ago and rightly enforced
on every hand, that ignorance and
prejudice In our eastern cities would
be predominating factors? Do you
think. in view of the multiplicity OF
inventions, facilitating and cheapen-
ing the cost of production, that a law
enacted ten years previous, making
eight hours constitute q days labor
giving the remaining time to the man
Of toll for recreation, study reflection
and home, would have resulted in in
jury to our laboring men?

Partisan FaYorites.

One half the positions given to parti-
san fayorites are detrimental to the
public welfare. There are insurance
commissions. military commissions,
railroad commissions, banking CON-
missions, etc, by the scores, costing
the taxpayers millions Of dollars that
are taken from the patient earners
and turned over to the jolly spenders.
The annual encampments of uniform
ed militia, costs the people millions
Of dollars each year, and they are of
no more use than a sunshade is to a
dead jackass. The one great thought
of political parties is, what excuse
can we make for just one more Office
and where can we fasten it SO it will
draw blood? A well regulated gov
ernors office with honest, competent
clerks to look after matters that re-

work that does not average ten
hours per week.-MOnitor, st. Louis.
