AN HONEST DOLIA7
A Leading Financial Paper DIscards the
"Intrinsic Value" Iheory.

Leading Financial Paper Discards the
"Intrinsie Value heory.
The Financier, of New York, one OF
the leading financial papers of the coun-
try, in an article showing the difference
between the intrinsic and the money
or fiat value of gold and silver coins.
says:
'The two precious metals have an
intrinsic value and coin value, which
are by no means necessarily Identical
which in fact never are identical.
"The intrinsic value of an ounce of
gold is its value as commodity for use
in the arts-for making jewelry, for
gliding, and to all the other uses to
which gold is put exclusive of coinage.
It has this value whether it is coined or
not, and the value is not affected by
coinage, though the price is.
THE coinage value of gold is the
difference between its intrinsic value
for use in the arts and its exchange
value as money.
This difference is SO material, that
if gold were acknowledgement not
coined or used as money-its price per
ounce would probably be less than half
its price at present We have no
means of determining this accurately.
nor is it necessa ary. All that is neces-
sary to clear understanding of the fun.
damental question of coinage is a
clear apprehension of this differ
ence between the intrinsic value
of the coinage metal and its excl,ano,s
value when coined as money. Where
gold has been even partly demonetized

HYPNoTlZING A HORSE.
A Chnd's Easy Mastery of An Untanab


A Child's Easy Mastery of An URtamable
Stallion.
A Cleveland horseman tells remark
able story of child's control of a
vicious horse, says an exchange. ''It
seemed to be a case of hypnotism- A
farmer named White has a very fine
stock farm about three miles out of the
city. He is good horse trainer, and
prldes himself on being able to handle
the most vicious types of horsehesh
that can be brought to him But last
spring he got more than his match.
Somebody sold him black stallion that
was the worst-tempered creature | ever
saw. He would bite and strike and
kick with such ierceness that no one
could get near him, and White was
finally obliged to turn him out to pas
ture. He thought that he would have
to kill him, but of course he hated to do
that, for he was really valuable beast.
But he was no good, for no one could
get near him, to say nothing of con-
trolling him. White has a little boy
eleven years old, who is one of the
brightest but most gentle little fellows
that / ever saw. One morning what
was his surprise and alarm to see little
Ralph come galloping down the lane on
the Black Devil's-<5ack as happy as a
clown. He rode up to the horse block.
slid off his back, and, putting the
horses head down to him. stroked and
patted his great nose as if he had been
the kindest creature in the world. But
as soon as anyone else went near him
the horse would fight like a demon.
For several months the little fellow
had good time with his pet. but as no
one else could control him he was sold
to stage-driver for twenty-five dol
lars, and the little boy got ten dollars
for riding him twenty-five miles and de-
Gvering him safely in the stable"

al times. 1t is the first principle of
coinage and those who remember it
and apply it will not be lost in the be-
wilderiug confusion of statements about
value of this dollar or that. No mat
ter what the dollar is, the exchange
value it has is given by the coinage
stamp on it and this exchange value is
not its intrinsic value by any means.
1t is always much greater than the in
triusic value"
If this is true, is there any difference
in precious metal" dollars and paper
dollars? In answer to this question
the Financier admits that there is not
any difference and only holds to the
theory that the use of precious metals
gives natural means of controlling
the supply of money.
The denominations of money are
fixed by law without regard to the ma
terial used to carry the money stamp.
which is very tersely expressed by the
United States supreme court t4us:
THE constitution does not ordain
what metals may be coined or that the
legal value shall correspond with the
intrinsic. Coin passes not as intrinsic
value. but as legal value"
With these auth critics before us it is
very easy to determine What is an
honest dollar?" All dollars issued by
government authority that are made a
full legal tender" at their face value.
without regard to the material used to
carry the money stamp, are honest
dollars" ''What is dishonest dollar?"
A dollar issued and made a partial
legal tender Every dishonest dollar
we ever had in this country was the re-
suit of dishonest robber legislation in
the interests of the money power con
ceived in sin and brought forth in in
iquity," the dishonest dollar" is true
to its mission as a thief among the
people, 7. Boormen, in Southern

kent HIs Shirf DRY.

The Fairfield tMe.) journal heard of
a man the other day who took a novel
method of keeping dry when caught in
shower. He was cutting bushes far
from shelter when a shower came up,
and as he was greatly opposed to work
ing all day in wet clothes something
had to be done. Quietly removing his
shirt. he rolled it up snugly and tucked
it into a hollow log and went on with
his work. The rain came down on his
barred back with great acceptance, re-
freshing him wonderfully. The sun
soon appeared and he resumed his 1an-

THE ST. LOUIS CONFERENCES.

The New Nation is Well Pleased With It's
Work and Platform of Principles.
In comparing the st. Louis platform
with the Cincinnati platform the New
Nation says:
''The marks of the class origin of the
peoples party as a farmers party, of
which there were SO many in the Gin
cinnati platform, have disappeared in
| the St Louis declaration. We find in
the latter little of the purely agrarian
point of view of the Ocala and first st.
Louis Platforms which the Cincinnati
document reflected This is a plat
form evidently constructed for artisan,
merchant and professional man as we'll
as for farmers, a platform not for a
class or classes. but for the masses.
| The change marks the second stage in
| the development of this great popular
revolt, and portends its national scope.
| again, the declaration at St Louis
as to the currency and banking issues,
while as broad and radical as those at
Cincinnati, are constructed with far
wiser Difference to the variety of opin-
ion on these vexed questions and will
attract many who found the Cincinnati
utterances too narrow.
| ''As TO questions of the extension of
government control observe that
while the Cincinnati platform only
called for control and supervision of
the means of transportation and COM
munication' and mentioned national
ownership only as a last resort, the
! St Louis platform declares explicitly
that the government should own and
operate the railroads. telegraphs and
telephone lines in the interest of the
people,
Finally, an entirely new proposition,
which did not appear at all in the Ciu-
cinnati platform, is found in that
adopted at St Louis, namely, the de-
maad for postal bank system not
only for savings but for exchange pur-
poses This is a proposition of the first
Importance.
''The New Nation heartily congrat-
ulates the st. Louis convention upon
its wise, courageous and statesmanlike
work. We expect to support the can.
d dates nominated on that platform. as
the most affective means within our
reach of preparing the way for the
ultimate triumph of nationalism.'

LET IT BE UNDERSTOOD.


Alliance Non-Partisanship Means That We
Should Vote Our Principles Regardless
of Party.
The alliance, as an organization,
cannot be converted into a political
party. 1t had the largest delegation of
any one organization in the St Louis
conference. But it did not have more
than one-fourth of the aggregate num-
Der. A large majority of the confer
ence was for prompt action by the
body in favor of a new party, but in
Difference to this recognized restraint
on the alliance, that action was de-
ferred until the work of the conference
had been completed and it adjourned.
But almost every delegate, in his
capacity as citizen, with thousands of
other citizens, joined in the great
ratification mass meeting, which was
held Immediately on the adjour lment
of the conference, and ratified its
action and appointed committee to
confer with the central committee OF
the peoples party to arrange for a
time and place to hold a national con-
vention to nominate candidates for
/ president and vice-president of the
United States. This joint committee
met and decided on July 4 as the date,
and the city of Omaha as the place for
the convention, and issued an address
calling upon the people to hold meet
ings on the last Saturday in the present
month and ratify the platform adopted
by the conference and arrange and
organize for representation in the
national convention-four for each
congressional district in the United
States and eight for each state at
large.
This statement of facts is made to
show that so far as the action of the
conference went it did not change the
relation of the alliance or any other
organization, as such, to the political
parties. 1t did not nor could not bind
the alliance, as an organization, to the
democratic, the republican or the peo-
pies party. No one man, no one thou
sand men, could do this. No power
could force its members to remain in
the democratic or republican parties;
no power could prevent them from
going into the new party. The confer
ence left every man just where the alli-
ance principles places him-on his OWL
individual responsibility to do as he
pleases, guided by an honest and
earnest purpose to discharge the high
duty of taking such political action as
will best meet his honest convictions
and secure the enforcement of his
principles.
Then what is our duty as alliance
men? Plainly, it is to stand closer
than every by our organization. At
tend the meetings, promote, IN every
honorable may, it's glorious principles
aud strengthen it at every point in it,
grand work of educating, elevaGng ant
unifying the farmers of the country
Cultivate fore bearance charity anC
fraternity among ourselves Discus
politics in spirit of kindness and con
cession, but stand as firm as Gibraltar
on principles. Vote for no man nol
party which opposes our principles
vote only for the man or party which
truly and honestly stands by our prin
ciples. This has been the teaching o.
the alliance from the day of its birth
This is our only safety, our only hop
