DEMOCRATIC SMILES.
MORTON NOT IMPLICATED


Senator Harris was pleased with the
part he played, but he assured every
one who approached hlm on the sabjcct
that Vice President Morton knew moth
ing of the programme when he Tempo
rarity vacated the chair. Senator Har-
ris was also ignorant of what was con-
tcmplatcd until after he assumed the
chair. lie was aware that something OF
the kind was contemplated during the
day, but he did not know the work was
to be done while he was presiding. He
holds that the bill now goes on the
Calendar and can only be taken up by a
majority of quorum.
SENATOR HOAR AS CASSANDRA.
Senator IIoar feels his defeat very
keenly and predicts the destruction Of
the Republican party. lie condemns
the action of those Republican Senators
who voted with the Democrats and says
he believes that they would do the same
thing over again, even after the financial
bill is disposed of. He refuses to say
whether he will continue to press the
bill further, but intmates that it is prac-
tically dead as long as eight Republicans
are opposed to it. He probably regrets
his haste in helping to seat the two new
Senators from Idaho.
EDMUNDs DOES NOT DESPAIR.
Senator Edmunds claims that the
force bill is not dead, but comes up as
unfinished business when the silver bill
Is disposed OF without separate vote
Other equally eminent parliamentarians
differ with him. News and Courier.

France in 1880 had debt per capita Of
$1l6S5; Great Britain, $S7.79; Russia, $SO.7S;
Austria Hungary, $7O,S4; Italy, $76.06; Bel
gium, $63. 10; the Netherlands, $95.66: while
that of the United States but $14.63. The
per capita Indebtedness of the states
and territories has been reduced from $6.79
in 1880 TO 1886 in 1890. The per capita in
debtedness Of the counties has been reduced
from $2.47 in 1880 to $2.27 in 1880.
Aggregating the national, states and
counties Indebtedness, the per capita shows
decrease from $46.59 in 1880 to $20.46 in
in 1880.
Following is recapitulation of the total
indebtedness of the United States, the sew
eral states, territories and counties:
The advocate., 1891-05-20

Now, granting for the argument, that
all Of the foregoing figures emanating
from Superintendent Porter are substan-
TALLY correct, what sane person supposes
that the debts referred to, can ever be
paid In gold, or in a moneybasedon goldS
In the issue Of the Capital Of May IA,
In an editorial of "How We Have Paid
Our Debt" this matter occurs:
Our wage-eerners receive the highest
wages, live in the best houses, wear the best
clothes, are supplied with the best and the
greatest abundance Of food, have the most
leisure-the shortest working day-provide
for their children the best advantages Of
education, are the most literally governed,
enjoy the most rights, are the most intelli-
gent and hopeful of ell tho wage-earners Of
the earth.
Yet we see little jackrabbit demagogues
The advocate., 1891-05-20

1t way here be noticed that the total
gold and silver product of the world for
500 years was 41.2 per cent. Of the ma
tional Indebtedness of forty-three coun-
tries, as above given.
And, let 1t be remembered, that in the
indebtedness of towards thirty-six bill
lions, no cognizance is taken of state,
county, city, township, school and indi-
vidual Indebtedness.
The Topeka Capital Of May 10, 1901,
has the following:
The intrinsic value of money is one of the
primary factors in political economy and
finance. That money has and must have a
value of it's own--a value 80 much superior
The advocate., 1891-05-20

to the value of other commodities that it is
the one thing always exchangeable, and
hence always as medium in the exchange
of other things, is as clear as that the sun
shines.
Who will have the hardihood to deny that
the Creator intended gold and silver to be
the materials and basis for money?
1t Is quite reasonable to suppose that
the Capital entertains about the same
reverence for the greenback as did ]. A.
Garfield, as given in the following mat
ter. Hon. James A. Garfield, on October
II, 1879, at Cleveland, o., in speech in
the interest of the Republican party, re-
ferring to political graves, said:
/ discover a new-made grave, little
mound-short. The grass has hardly
sprouted over it, and all around it see torn
pieces of paper with the word "6at" on
them, and look down with curiosity won
deripg what the little grave is, and read on
it: "Sacred to the memory of the Rag
Baby, nursed in the brain of all the fanati-
cism of the world; rocked by Samuel F..
Cary, Thomas Ewing and George II. PEN
dleton, and few others throughout the
land" But it died on the LIST of January,
1879, and the $14O,0O0,OOO of gold, that God
made, and not fiat power, lie upon it's little
carcass to keep it down forever.
While the Capital says "the Creator in
tended gold and silver to be the materials
and basis for money" the late President
Garfield Is more loyal to hard money, be-
cause his speeches and votes had not
only been in opposition to the currency
that the federal government paid Its
sailors and soldiers, but, also, he was
found vigorously opposing the partial
reconciliation Of silver, secured over
the veto message Of the act of Congress
of February %, 1868.
But here is what Harrison thrusts
upon his countrymen:
This government of ours cannot do every
thing for everybody. The theory of our
government is largely individual. Il is de-
sirable that we shall afford to all, the free,
honest pursuit of human industries, that
each individual shall have in his own place
the best chance possible to develop the
highest prosperity for himself and his fam
lily. Some functions are lodged with our
government. II must provide currency for
the use of our people, for believe the time
has gone by when We will be content to re-
turn to the old system of an issue of money
by state banks; but will not discuss such
questions; only desire TO say this, which is
common ground upon which we can all
stand: That whatever money the govern
ment issues, paper or coin, it must be good
money. have an idea that every dollar we
issue should be as every other dollar we
issue. None 80 much as the laboring man
and the farmer require full value dollar,
of permanent value the year around, and
that this great government in it's undertak-
ing handle with benefcent and equal hands
The advocate., 1891-05-20
the pursuits of the rich and of the poor.

the pursuits of the rich and Of the poor.
whatever money the government
issues, it must be good money!"
Would the president desire to have II
understood that he agrees with our ex-
Governor George T. Anthony, that,
"Ths farmer with as much propriety might
sell three pecks of wheat for bushel, at
that the government of the United States Of
America might coin 70 cent silver dollars
and then tell the toiler they we're worth 1O(
cents?"
But, the president in his trip Of q month
in the south and west, has made many
utterances on economic subjects, having
at the start given warning voice to the
laborer of the dangers arising from buy
ing too cheap coat Being by profes
sion corporation attorney his mind is &c
constituted as to reason on such lines, To-
to his vision the money interests s-domes
tic and foreign-are paramount, hence
as sequence, what they may demand, HI
would seem to feel himself bound to re
gard as the greatest possible good to the
material interests Of our common country
Before he began making his living
through office-holdlng he was q regularly
salaried, well paid corporation employee
Having an intuitive, sincere admiration
for the eminent responsibility Of money
1t was meet that in the Indianapolis rail
road strikes of 1877, he should regard the
dissenters from the views Of the corpora
ton managers that he was serving, as
proper food for gun powder, therefore II
might naturally have been expected that
he would use his best energies to have
the disbolical unholy strike against the
railroad kings shot out Of existence. Such
mind, unaccustomed to reasoning on q
basis from cause to effect, and being so
far, SO very far away from the average
thoughts Of the plain common people,
might very naturally feel that there is
perilin paying less money for clothing -es-
pecially if the purchasers Of It be widows
and fatherless children, and not any
less fraught with great public danger
should the subsidies demanded by the
corporations who hold In control 80
largely the productive interests Of the
nation on land or sea, be refused, by legis-
lators whom the people shall sometime
have in the halls Of Congress il the rights
of human nature be not lost in this re-
public.
The debts Of nations, as presented In
the early part Of this article, may be com
pared with the following census figures
relating to the monetary obligations OF
countries, states and counties:

The Bagpipe In Asia.

The bagpipe is almost universal
throughout Asia, though at present not
so much in use as it seems to have been
in former ages. 1t is used among the
Chinese musicians, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, and is met with in
Persia, where it appears to have been
more general in former ages than at
present. There is also a Hindoo bag
pipe, and in Egypt it was used to some
extent, but is now rarely met with. In
Italy it is common. 1t is said that the
italian peasant believes that il is the
best beloved music of the Virgin Mary,
also that it is the instrument upon
which the shepherds expressed their
joy when they visited the Saviour.
When the Italian peasant visits Rome
on the anniversary of the birth of our
Saviour he always carries his bagpipes
with him. The Romans are said to have
been acquainted with this instrument,
and most likely the Greeks also. In
Scotland it is the national instrument,
but even there its use is dying out. Bag
pipes are known in Scotland, England.

THE MALE FLlRT.

Who Is the More Detestable In q Wom-
ans Estimation?
One can not pass through a Irritation
man or woman-without lowering
the tone of ones mind, writes Felicia
Holt in the Ladies' Home Journal. l
know that l seem to thus put mind be-
fore the affections; but in the prosaic
nineteenth century hearts seem out of
fashion. Cupid has taken holiday and
left us to our own devices; he loves an
age when pounds and pence play less
conspicuous part, for love laughs at cal
culation. So our mental development
becomes our highest consideration, and
it must suffer in n game where only the
sly trickster holds the trump card.
Dignity and trifling put each other
out of countenance, as does the bishop
and the clown; and when a man and
woman enter with elaboration into the
unworthy joust of fitting ones attrac-
tions against the other with no other
aim than the qualification of his or her
vanity, then, l say, neither party can
come out unscathed, either mentally or
morally.
If one is more detestable than the
other, it is the male flirt; for since Gus
tom has given him the power Of making
the advance, he can do the most harm,
particularly should he practice his
cruel arts upon an unsophisticated girl;
she may fall victim to his cruelty.
A man may recover from a bitter en-
counter of this sort sadder and a wiser
man; his trust in woman may be terri
bly, shaken, but he does not succumb,
as does the woman, whose heart, once
wiled from her keeping, grows weary
of the world.
And, Incredible as it may seem, women
are quite as much to blame as men for
the sin of Irritation. For if they con-
denim the sin, they invariably smile upon
the sinner, specially if he is handsome
and attractive.
