POPULAR NEEDS AND RIGHTS

Cities are built to meet the require
ments of the surrounding territory and
for the convenience of those whose trade
maintains chem. A fiat VIII not build
CITY and maintain it unless 1t is III &C
cordance with the law which establishes
and maintains all flourIshing cities.
Railroads and water ways are all lmpor-
tant to the development of cities. and in
these later days the relative Importance
of these highways is with tie railroads;
but even they cannot afford to oppose
the requirements of trade and ignore
this natural law.
In sparsely settled districts the cities
are small and far apart. They grow
larger and more numerous as the maxi
mum of population is approached, but
thew are always great or insignificant as
the Importance of their Contrlbutory
territory demands. This appears to be
automatic and would imply that every
CITY or business center whether great
or small is entitled to the bene-
fits of its location, and the trans
portation of its merchandise should
never be hampered by the necessities
of other cities not SO well located to
reach and supply a given territory. The
people whose convenience the city Is,
have the natural right TO expect that the
common center, so located as best serves
their convenience, should enjoy rates OF
transportation based solely on volume,
distance and necessary expense, ana that
the selfish demands of other and distant
points that they shall enjoy unreason-
able advantages in order to supply ter
ritorv no longer contributary to them,
must go unrecognized by the railroads,
1t is natural that Kansas City III her own
interest should maintain that Wichita,
Hutchinson, Salina, Arkansas City, ETC.,
are not needed as distributing centers,
knowing full well if that argument Is
accepted she will supply the state OF
Kansas, for she fears no rival IN this
state from the Missouri river towns. But
Chicago can advance the same argument
as applied to Kansas City, and shows this
territory could be supplied from there.
New York could furnish this territory
without Chicago and London could sup
ply us without New York, Oh cage or
Kansas City. But that method does not
suit the people, hence there are other
cities than London, and for the same
reason there will be other cities than
Kansas City.
Wichita being the only city in Kansas
SO located as to meet the demands of a
numerous, increasing and prosperous
people whose present business, railroad
facilities, capital, number and character
of her people entities her to aspire to
commercial greatness, is clearly entitled
to the benefits arising out of her posi-
ton. fact that the railroad commits
sioners of the state recognize, and greatly
to their credit the great Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific systems concur in. The
rates to Wichita and other interior
towns may not prove to be as fixed as
the laws of the Modes and Persians, but
the time has come when strict justice
to the interior of Kansas must prevail,
and it is a most encouraging sign that
the great companies serving the south
west part of Kansas accept the situation.

POPULAR DELUSIONS,

To the Editor OF the Eag.e.
In reading the resolutions promulgated
by the reformers assembled at st. Louis,
/ was confronted with the question, can
the national government create money!
After a careful and studious considera-
ton of the question, | was forced to the
conclusion that it cannot. If the gov
eminent can create money as asserted in
the preamble of the St. Louis resolutions,
where is the logic of taxing the citizens
or subjects Of these governments: Ii the
government can create money it COM
mits crime against its citizens by levy
ing and collecting tax. IL this power
of creating money be conferred on the
government, why should not the gov
eminent create an abundance of it and
distribute it equally among the people:
In fact there is no valid reason why the
government should not distribute enough
of it, to make us all millionaires.
Our finances would then be based on
the plan of the multiplication table, but
it would soon cease to multiply and
then would come reduction with all its
awful consequences which would be q
veritable ''reductio ad absurdum. The
truth of the matter is that governments
are as powerless rs private individuals to
create money. They can issue promises
to pay money, but if payment be long
deferred. their notes will become depre-
ciated. l do not question the sincerity
of the St. Louis reformerS, | would not
n. L, Ia h.
gentlemanly TO do so, but / can charita-
bly, declare that they were laboring IN
der a misapprehension when they assun-
ed that the national power can create
money.
Another popular delusion is the per
capita circulation. We are told that the
volume of currency is not adequate FOX
the transaction Of the business OF the
country. OF course it is not
There Is no nation in modern times
that has enough of either gold. silver or
paper money, or all three combined. TO
transact the business Of the country
with. In all the great transactions
which we call business, there Is little if
any, real money used. The purchaser
as well as the seller. prefers clearing
house receipts, tank checks. drafts, etc.
to the real money. therefore we need not
be surprised when only per cent. Of
the business Of the country is done with
currency. The greatest deluSion with
which We farmers are humbuzged Is,
that our prosperity depends on the per
capita circulation. France Is pointed
out TO Us as . prosperous country be-
cause lis per capita circulation is as
sunled 10 be greater than ours. Now It
IS we'll known that French woTkmen re
ceive less waS e. than their English conf
petitors' and the American pursuing the
same vocation receives from - 10 -
per cent. more wages than either This
example alone proves the fallacy of the
per capita argument. Let rs take as

For some time, during the last six
months, and up to within a fortnight of
the present, a large excess of the coin
imports was in gold. While the exports
of coin showed nearly as large excess in
silver. Just now. however, the excess IN
exports has changed to gold. This
change is easily accounted for in the
fact that just at this season large sums
of gold are required to meet the coun-
try's interest obligations on the other
side. This demand will be met in a
short time when the former conditions
of coin movements will be renewed.
Whether this would be the case ordi-
narily may be doubted. but the present
condition of the provision markets, there
aud here, makes it inevitable for some
time to come.
