Sensible Words From One Who Knows
What lie Is Talking About.
How can Il farmer or abOrer or other
producer be benefited by cheaper dol
lar? The dollar is the measure of his
toll 1t is only useful to him to buy
the necesSaries of life, or to accumulate
property for advancing age. It's value
is measured by its purchasing power.
Cheaper dollars make more dollars
necessary for his wants. The relative
market value of all commodities will
rise or fall with the market value of
the dollar. and unless the silver dollar
is worth as much as the gold dollar it
will not buy as much hog and hOminy
as the gold dollar. No government is
powerful enough TO fix the price Of
anything. We tried that during the
war, but the price went up as the dol
lar went down. In the north the
greenback dollar, the sacred promise of
a nation, would at one time buy only
as much as 10 cents in coin. In the
south. the dollar of the confederacy
went down TO the value of rags. \
government may say what shall be
/ luOuEN anu GILL IL al ODlldI. VI al
or cent, and make it legal tender,
but no one but the owner OF property,
from a cup of milk to an improved farm,
can say how many dollars or dimes or
cents can buy the milk or the farm.
And so congress may say that 81
grains of silver, or 200 grains or 80
grains, shall be a dollar and the stand
ard of value, but the farmer can say
how many such dollars he will take for
his wheat, or the laborcr how many he
will take for his days wages Neither
of them can DE benefited for cheaper
ing the dollar. They may for the time
be deceived into believing that they
are still getting the old dollar, but if
they sell the product of their labor at
the old price they will be cheated The
shrewd Spectator will, on the instant,
increase his price and protect himself;
the storekeeper will mark up his goods,
land will nominally advance in value,
but the poor man who must work to
live is the first to feel the advance of
prices and the loss of the purchasing
power of his wages, and the last to win
an advance in his wages.-John Sher-
man.

GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.

The POpulists and Their Democratic Allies
Have Suddenly Taken to Finaace and
Government Ownership of Railroads.
H1Ting abandoned their sub treasury
scheme. the pOpulists, aided by the
democratic shadows, are now devOting
themselves to finance and the govern
ment ownership of railroads They de-
sire fat money and an increase of
taxes. according to their own platform,
for the latter result would be sure to
follow in case Of success of their views
Hon. J. W. ADV has been devoting some
time to the study of the railroad dues-
ton. and he comes to the following con
illusions:
Government pays no taxes on any Of
its property. As it now is. the railroads
pay a large proportion of the taxes for
the expenses of running the state, the
counties, and the schools. The rail-
roads now pay not less than $4,000, 900
taxes in Kansas If the government
owned them, they would pay not cent,
but that amount of money would come
out of the pockets of the farmers and
other citizens of he state.
The government never pays damages
or losses. Take the mails as an illus
tration. All possible care is taken to
prevent loss of valuables sent in the
mail, and If lost, all possible diligence
is used to recover the property; but the
government never makes up such losses.
''The government of the United States
cannot be sued. If there is a wreck in
which men are killed or goods destroyed,
a car of cattle or hogs smashed up, or
grain dumped out in the mud, there
could be no suit for damages.
IF the cars should kill a farmers cat
tie. there could be no recovery for dam
ages. If man should undertake TO
cross the track in front of a locomotive
running at full speed, and should be
hoisted off and his thumb be knocked
out of joint, there would be no chance
for him to recover SO, 900 damage. half
OF it to go TO the lawyer who urged
him to bring the lit.
IF the locomotive set fire TO a wheat
stack, and destroyed hundred bushels
of wheat, there would be no way for
the farmer 10 recover 81. 500 for the
wheat"
