REASONS FOR GOLDSTANDARD
Why the Gold Bug Fights
Silver,
And Wants Gold the Sole
Standard.

The following article from the
Ketchum Keystone gives reasons for
gold standard and the non-c coinage
of silver. If you like the reasons,
then fight silver This will explain
R. E. Porter's position on silver,
perhaps:
A gold money basis or standard is
a good thing because it makes
money scarce.
Because it means high rate of
interest.
Because it compels the producer
to pay $3.50 in products for 81 in
gold, with which to pay his taxes
and interest on his mortgage.
Because it adds nearly so per cent
to the burdens of the debtor class.
Because it enables England to buy
our silver at S5 cents an ounce, coin
it into rupees and then pay it out to
Indian cotton and wheat growers at
81. 33 per ounce, which in a few years
more will entirely displace our cotton
and wheat in her markets.
Because the money lords of Europe
command it and are benefited by it.
Because it depresses wages, COM
pels people to run in debt and booms
the business of foreclosing mortgages
and sheriff's sales.
Because it enriches the gold syn
dicate, which produces nothing and is
no benefit to the country, by robbine
the industrial people, who are the
producers of its wealth and its mag
nificence, the source of its power and
glory, the custodians of its respecta-
bility and the pillows of its per
manence as q nation.
Because it arrays 1000, 900 whose
motto is "damn the people, agains
the other $4,000, 900, who patri
| otically obey the law and love ant
honor their country and it
o institutions.
Because it suspcnds enterprise
diminishes trade, deprives wag'
o earners of employment, multiple
: bankruptcies, sets up revel in usury
}. taking, spreads encouragement an
|, general unrest among the masses
o augments crime and taxation
~ demands the enactment of more an
V stringent criminal laws and promote
t the growth of anarchy.
If Because 10000 millionaires an
n demi- -millionaires, 1000 banks
+ numerous trusts and subsidize
v press profit by the popular calami'
m and do not want change.
n The above are all the reasons '
el can think of for maintaining go
ID standard, but we think the read
,e will concur in the view that thu
ct embody the arguments of the gol
a bugs and are conclusive from the
IN standpoint. In another article '
Is will give the reasons for l
no monetization.

stronger, but coffee and oil both
declined. The stock market has
been dull during the week, and the

HON. JOHN J. NGALS,
The Well Known Kansas
Statesman,
Tells what He Knows of
Western Roads.


Western roads are much like the
roof of the cabin of the Arkansas
Traveller, which did not leak in dry
weather, and when it rained could
not be repaired. Nine months every
year the prairie highways are the best
in the world Firm, elastic, without
rocks or stumps, following easy
grades, and drying rapidly after
showers, they require only side
ditching and culverts to make them
perfect for man, wheel and beast,
The other three months, when the
frost is leaving the ground, during
continuous rains, in Spring and Au-
tumn, or while rough frozen, nothing
worse can be imagined. Instead of
giving facilities for travel, they are
an obstacle and barrier, being more
impossible than the fields and farms
through which they run. Intercourse
between neighborhoods, and local
traffic, are frequently, for weeks,
absolutely suspended by the tenacious
mud and unbelievable mire. 1t
goes without saying that this con-
dition is costly, inconvenient and
discreditable, and ought to be
corrected, but permanent improve
ment cannot be expected while the
present shiftless, improvident and
irresponsible methods prevails.
Patching and plastering by district
and township overseers and super
visors once or twice year is waste
of money and labor. Intelligent
and comprehensive control by the
States is Indispensable, and too much
should not be anticipated even Of
this.
The public roads of England and
the continent are the growth of {
century, and, like those of Rome
were developed before railways hat

communication. IG should b,

COUNTY OFFICERS DEPUTIES.
The Supreme Court on the Power
Supervisors to Allow Extras.

The SUPREME Court on the Power OF
Supervisors to Allow Extras.
The Supreme Court has handed down two
decisions that affect the powers Of Super
visors to appoint extra deputies In the
offices Of county officers.
The decision is gwen in two cases, practi-
eally the same points being involved ID
each One is the case Of DOugherty vs..
Austin. and the other that Of Burr VS.. john
son. The latter is a Sacramento action,
while the former relates TO the right Of the
Supervisors of Marin County TO pay salary
Of $50 a month to one Of the deputies of the
County Clerk, aside from the amount al
los ed the latter official for the conduct Of
bis Office
The present is the second decision 10 the
Marin Count " case, the matter having been
reargued since the first was given, as it was
deemed proper 70 give the representatives
Of as many counties as possible among those
TO be affected by the decision q chance to
make such representations as they might
choose before the question should be finally
decided.
In the former instance the decision was
written by Justice GaTrOuite, but IN the
present instance this is done by Justice De
Haven. GarrOutte, Harrison, Sharpstein
and Beatty concurrlng, while Justices Nc
Farland and Paterson dissent.
Under the county government act OF 1888
county officials were allowed, as stated,
lump sum for the conduct Of their del art
ments, out Of which they paid their own
and the salaries of such deputies as they
found it necessary to employ. 10 course Of
time, however, this LED 10 much hardship in
growing counties, where there was so much
work TO be done that more help than could
thus be paid for was found 10 be absolutely
necessary. In 1887, therefore, an amend
ment to the county government act was
passed by the Legs Stature, comforting upon
the Supervisors of counties Of a certain
class the right 10 change that provision of
the law requiring county officers to pay
their own deputies and allowing the Super
YisOrs themselves to provide for paying
whatever salaries might be necessary
Under this amendment many additional
deputies have been employed all over the
State.
It is now held by the majority Of the Su-
preme Court that the Legislature had no
right TO delegate functions exclusively leg
isIatiYe to Boards Of Supervisors, from
which it follows that all the extra appoint
ments referred to as having beer made
under the amendment mentioned are void,
and no more can be made until the existing
weaknesses In the law have been legally
remedied.
The decisions were made by Justice De
Haven and are cOnCurred in by Justices
GaFr0utte, Harrison, Sbarpstein and Beatty.
Mcfarland and Paterson do not concur
