and dealt ina thing that owns the world. But
II it is to be a convenience for mankind the Idea
is just the reverse Of desirable.
The most gigantic monopoly the world has
ever known is the mOneyed system OF England,
by which she has come to make every nation
and people ON earth, who work for q living, pay
her interest. Take away from England the in'
tereSt money paid the men who never earned o
dollar by personal labor, and the island would
be ruin In ten years. There IL NO other cOun-
try on the globe, nor since Rome In the time OF
the Caesars, that exists so articially as England.
Her prosperity Is built upon the toll and sweat
of the globe and she holds 1t by force and habit.
One OF the last holds she has on heretofore
tributary world Is exactly this gold standard,
which as a money lender she has imposed upon
the world. The past is passing away, never to
return, and the power of England has eliminated.

1.-THE A B OF MONEY" BY ANDREW CAR
NKGIE.
The greatest Article In the current number Of
the North american ReUiCaU, bears the above
title. 1t covers thirty pages and is written In a
style that beyond doubt fills the ambition which
the author announces as his In the beginning:
"TO explain money In so simple way that all
can understand It," The usual restrictions
against copying from the RevteW are waived at
the request Of Mr.. Carnegie, the editor an.
nOunceS, and newspapers are permitted to repro.
duce as fully as they viii, but this article on
money Is the kind from which 1t Is difficult to
clip. From beginning to end It Is lucid, well
connected history and argument combined. and
constitutes by far the best presentation Of the
point we have ever seen.
No student Of the modern money question can
afford to miss reading Mr.. Carnegle's A B G,
whether he be blmetalISt or goldbug, mil
liOnaire or poor man. The writer who will be
brought out by the RevtelU to answer Mr.. Carne-
gle will be watched for with interest.
Asan organ OF American plousiOcra-
cy in harmony with the financial
theories of Andrew Carnegie, Charles
Foster, Jay Gould, Benjamin Harri-
son and John Sherman, it were ex-
pected that the Capital would most
thoroughly adhere to 'the gold basis"
and that as a companion piece in the
interest of "honest money" it should
give the few remaining party idola-
tors, who read it's matter, the follow
ing trembling admonitions:
There never was time In the history Of the |
Republican party Of Kansas or Of the nation |
when the real interests Of the country more in- |
peratively needed sound RepublicanIsm than at
this time. 1t an era Of unrest and unreasOn, |
with the minds Of the people poisoned by aRar-
chistic, cOmmuniStic and SOcIallstic methods and
revolutionary principles. The Alliance Is the |
OutgrOwth Of financial depression, BellamyIm |
and impractical refOrmers, who have patent and |
easy methods Of solving every great economic |
problem and the paying Of debts with cheap |
money. The Republican party must face the |
craze for fat money that has swept over the |
prairies of Kansas.
