Live Stock in Missouri.

The following figures from the state
auditors reports for 1889 indicate to the
extent of the assessors figures the value
of live stock in Missouri: Horses, $780,
400, S24; mules, 9,546, 314; jacks and jen-
nets, S399,s13: total, $40, 43G, 951. Cattle.
ss1; all other live stock, S76,603; total,
$50, 317,717. These are interesting fig
ures. The horse and mule stock ex-
ceeds in assessed value all other farm
stock by $40, 1929. The jack and mule
stock has value of nearly one third
that Of all the horse stock. and the total
assessed value of all stock in Missouri
is $40, 1896 Understanding that the
assessed value is about two thirds the
estimated cost value, it gives the grand
total of S1O6, 1872. O02.

Did Not Curse Gov. Morehouse.

Jack P. Richardson, of st. Louis, has
received a letter from Samuel n. Brooks,
of England, father of Hugh Maxwell,
alias Brooks, who was executed in st.
Louis for the murder of Preller, in
which Mr. Brooks emphatically denies
that he pronounced a curse upon A. P.
Morehouse. who was then governor of
the state and refused to accede to the
requests for clemency for the son. At
the time of the suicide of ex-Gov. More
house at Maryville, Mo-, in Septembe
last, many newspapers recalled the al
legged curse of the elder Brooks. The
publication of the incident in connec-
ton with the accounts of the ex-gov-
ernor's tragic end caused much COM
ment, especially among the friends of
cx-Gov. Morehouse. Copies of the pa
pers were sent to Mr.. Brooks and in
his letter to Mr.. Richardson he says: Il
never cursed Morehouse, or thought of
cursing him, but left him in the hands

of any and all bills introduced into

are of humanity, and in our belief
only revolution of force can rend

BRADsTREEr's, which is generally
sccepted as good authority, com
United this double blunder in their
issue Of March 26: "All the lead.
ing mineral products, with the ex-
ception Of gold, have declined in
price (since 1S90) the value Of gold
being maintained because of the
general desire 10 hoard it," Both of
these propositions are intrinsically
wrong, while the one. relating to
other metals than gold is historic
ally so, the value of platinum
having advanced until that metal
is now worth about as much az
gold. Were it monetized it would
be worth more than gold for the
reason that, like silver, it is more
useful in the arts than the yellow
metal, and usefulness is the gauge
Of intrinsic value. Gold has not
deprecated in value simply because
it is the money metal of the world,
and its value-a law created fiction
has been sustained by law. and
not by any demand for the metal
for boarding purposes, or any de-
sire on the part of any considerable
number of people to hoard it. And
we will add for the information of
some of our fnanciers (?) that the
phenomenon of universally lower
ing prices is attributable in large
part to the growing inability Of the
masses to supply their needs. The
less there is consumed the less must
be the demand for products and the
lever the prices of all commodities
must be. On the other hand the
more money we have in circulation
the more consumers we shall have,
and the higher prices will be; and
this brings US around to the incon-
trovertible proposition that the de-
monetization thieves had this very
condition Of things in view when
they demonetized silver. They fore.
saw that the price purchasing
power) of gold would appreciate.
that gold dollar would buy more
Of the products Of labor and 50 pay
less Of the laborer's debts than il
would under bi- metallism, and they
20 legislated to bring about this
state Of things, purposely and with
fraudulent intent.

THE Statesman again ate

The Statesman again attempts a
reply to the KEYSTONE tariff strict
ures this week, but as it introduced
no new matter and did not even
refer TO its opportunity" dodge,
there is nothing in it's article worth
noticing, unless it be its mendacity,
and that IL even not worth noticing.
because, come to think, it had no
other resource. The tariff is indie.
fensible before any intelligent audi
ence, and the attempt TO escape
from the trap it had placed itself
IN by changing from the eubject of
the advance, or Swell" as it called
It, caused in the price of goods by
the tariff, was such a ridiculous
eubterfuge that even it's editor must
have blushed when be wrote it.
The KEYSTONE did say and does cay
that the price Of goods is increased
by something like the amount Of
the tariff; and the Statesman seys
that the price is "swelled," which
means, in the sense in which that
paper used it, increased" by over
40 per cent BY the tariff. It's Ian
guage was this: In the article
from which: Ne have just quoted
the Oregonian referred to the Mills
bill az proposing 40 per cent rate
OF duty on wooden goods" mot on
opportunity; that was substituted
later on in the discussion). THAT
was a reduction Of the rates that
were then in force, and the fact ie
that the WOODEN industry was then
suffering from inadequate protec-
tion." But it il idle to debate with
men who want tariff Of over 40
per cent aud in the same breath
Assert that tariff reduces prices.

The New York Sun, iii debating
the silver question, exposes an ig-
norancc Of the sul.jsc. that would
be pitiable in day laborer. II pre-.
tends that people having debts due
them payable in lawful money
would get less value if they should
be paid in silver dollars, under free
coinage. than they would get upon
a gold basis; also, that deposits in
savings banks, being payable in
lawful money, would not be 80 val
liable if paid in silver on free coin
age basis as they are now. Lawful
money is any money issued by the
government and bearing the stamp
of public authority. Without that
stamp nothing is money, therefore
there can be no money but lawful
money. Unlawful money, as inn
piled III the Suns discourse, is
therefore a fiction of diseased
brain. Lawful money, whether gold,
silver or paper, appreciates when
scarce and depreciates, in its rela-
ton to the prices of other CON-
modities, when plentiful. If gold
were demonetized~ its value would
recede, because it would. then no
longer be money, but simply
commodity like potatoes, and its
commodity value would depend
upon itA demand in tho arte, where
alone it is employed except as
money. Debts, therefore, depreci-
ate and appreciate in proportion as
money is plentiful or scarce, their
depreciation or appreciation simply
meaning that the prices Of all other
products of labor have deprecated,
that is become disproportioned to
the purchasing power of money.
SO long as the money Of circulation
may be made plentiful or scarce,
at the option of a few manipula-
tors, and they the public creditors,
these fluctuations will occur, it be-
ing simply their method, and the
most damaging one known, of bull
ing and bearing the market; and if
once in century or two the vic
Tins Of the system get "hoist by
their own petard' they have no
right to complain. But to obviate
all Of this. and to prevent depres-
sions and inflations-which are
both dishonest and destructive-of
the property Of tho masses, the law
should fix a volume of currency at
some specified per capita rate that
should not be permitted to change.
Until this is done the debtor class
will continue to suffer from damag-
ing fluctuations in their currency.

REPUBLICAN newspaper scrlbblere
will have to adopt some new form
Of epithet to apply to Speaker Criep
His vote having eaved the silver
bill from being tabled makes it clea,
that he is not the tool Of Senator
Hill, but a man Of convictions, who
has the courage to stand by what be
believes to be right, notwithstanding
Mr.. Hills opposition Had Mr.
Crisp voted with the goldites to
table the silver bill the matter would
have been at an end 80 far AZ this
Congress is concerned, at least, and
the monopoly press from one end
Of the land to the other would have
been filed with eulogiums on his
honesty, his high character, manli.
ness and courage in daring to do
right even in the face Of a powerful
element in his own party, which
persisted on his pursuing an oppo-
site course. And to man in pub
lie life it must be admitted the
temptation was one not easily re-
sisted. Congress had voted on the
question and to the CONSERVATION
of the millions who favor silver
coinage. the vote was a tie. Mr..
Crisp's vote could decide its fate
either affirmatively or negatively.
Against silver coinage was arrayed
the wealth, the banke, the trusts, the
combines, the chambers of CON-
merce, the bondholders, the truck
lers to foreign influence and power,
a great political party and the pow
erful leaders Of his own party. The
man in public life who has the
strength Of purpose to antagonize
such a mighty array. and to take
upon his own shoulders the entire
responsibility of even temporarily
foiling pet scheme Of theirs il
no weakling, nor the tool Of any
man. The man who could cast
that vote under the circumstances
is one whose life is govern, d BY
principle. Such a mans Speaker
Crisp. He has stood by the silver
bill when TO do 80 was dead loss
to his personal popularity and po-
litical aspirations, for the people
never reward their friends BY pro-
motion, while the corporations
always do. But all the same, re-
monetization is dead. Its friends,
though largely in the majority in the
rank and file, are misrepresented in
the halls of legislation, and the gov
eminent is being administered sole
~ for the enrichment of the rich.
Enlightened voters would know
how to remedy this, but partisan
voters cannot.

Cleveland the Man.

The Indianapolis Sentinel has
Withdrawn its support ffon Coy
ernor Gray and Transferred it y
Mr.. Cleveland. It's very evident
that Mr.. Cleveland is the choice Of
three fourths Of the democrats OF
the United States for president.
That fact has been evident to US all
of sbe time. Why tits Ne cannot
explain. That Mr.. Cleveland made
good president as things 60, all
fair-minded men will admit but
he was altogether too much on the
mugwump order, one would think,
to make himself the idol Of q party
whose existence he practically ig-
nored during his term Of Office.
Having been elected as democrat
it was his first duty on entering
upon his official life to begin the
decapitation of every republican
office holder within his reach, and
had he been less Of an egotist he
would have done this. But wrapped
in his own eelf-conceit he fancied
that he and not the democratic party
had been elevated to power. Cram
med full of this conceit he refused
to make removals. He retained all
of the republicans in office he could,
ignoring the claims Of democrats
even Of such as had helped him the
most in his campaign. He thus
refused the country a democratic
administration, notwithstanding it
had voted for just that thing. Still
he is the hero of the hour-the
great l am Of democracy, and will
in all human probability receive the
nomination for president.
But in spite Of his popularity,
which is unnatural and superficial,
we want to go on record az a disbe-
lever in the possibility of electine
him by the popular vote He can
not carry New York, because the
Hill faction there will not only re-
fuse to support him, but will GER
tainly compass his defeat; and
without New York he cannot be
elected, because without silver
plank in the platform, which will
1ot be, he cannot hope to get the
tote of single western state, and |
uay lose West Virginia. This
would either give the election to
he republicans or throw it into the
house, in which latter event Mr..
Cleveland would get it of course,
nd would again give tho country a
,ood business administration along
Id mouopolistic lines. But by the
ime his term had expired the re-
nonetization Of silver would have
'een made practically impossible,
nd the party having failed to do
to strengthen its hold
'pon popular favor would be de-
Gated again in 1896 as it was in
SSS, and from the same cause
inocuous desuetude."
