For the F0ty-third Congress.

The above is the general form of the
''official ballot" which will be voted
at the November election. 1t contains
the names of all the nominees of all
the parties. Under the law, the nomi-
nees of the several parties may be
either grouped or mingled indiscrim-
inately as they appear above, accord
ing to the will of the commissioner
who has them printed. The order of
the headings may even be reversed and
nominees for Congress placed first
and electors last. 1t is therefore, of
supreme Importance that the voter
should familiarize himself beforehand
with the names of the candidates for
whom he desires to vote In the tick
ct above we have distinguished the
Prohibition Electors by placing oppo-
site their names light faced X mark,
and opposite the names of the Peoples
party Electors bold faced X mark.
Those with no cross-mark opposite are
Democrats and Republicans. 1t must
be remembered that the ticket when
presented to the voter will have no X
marks on it, but that he must make a
cross mark in ink which will be fur
nished him in the voting booth, oppo-
site each name he intends to vote for,
and no others. Each voter may vote
for nine names for electors and one for
Congress We give the ticket as it
will appear for the seventh district.
OF course the.names of the nominees
for Congress will vary according to
the several districts The Prohibition
lists have no nominee for elector in the
second district, but with this eXcep-
ton the list of electors for each party
is complete. The blank or dotted
lines under each Office are intended
to be used for writing a name in case
one of the nominees dies or resigns af-
ter the ballots are printed, or the vo-
ter chooses to vote for some one else
than the regular nominee. If any par
TVS nominees are not placed on the
tickets in any county, we think it
would be within the spirit of the law
for the voters of that party to write
their names on these blank lines, make
a croSS-mark opposite each and insist
on their votes being counted.
The Clarion, edited by Capt. j. s.
McNeily, Chairman of the Democratic
campaign committee, has the following
to say on the subject of tickets:
The campaign committee has received
number of letters from county party
authorities and others, as to the law
governing tickets; the proper prepare
ton as to candidates names and the ar
rangement of same. Without particu-
.arizing the questions the following
which is founded upon lawyers con-
struction of the law is designed in re-
ply. First, formal notice of nomination
is not essential to secure place on the
ballot for the names of nominees. But
two things are indispensableto-wit: The
FACT of nomination and the KNOWLEDGE
by the commissioner of the fact. How
he knows it is not material. Second,
the law does not forbid designatory
caption over the names ofsparty nonli-
nees. democratic electors and "Peo-
pies party electors and Republican
electors may, in the discretion of the
commissioner having the tickets print
ed. be placed over the list of names of
nominees of each party together it
leaves the matter of arrangement dis
cretionary with the commissioner.

A Leading Financial Paper Discards
the "Intrinsic Value" Theory.
The Financier, of New York, one of
the leading financial papers of the
country, iii an article showing the diff
ference between the intrinsic and the
money or fiat" value of gold and sill
yer coins, says:
The two precious metals have nm
intrinsic value and coin value,
which ar9 by no means necessarily
identical-which Pin fact are never
identical.
1.-THE intrinsic value of an ounce of
gold is its value as q commodity for use
in the arts--fOr making jewrlry. for
gliding, for all other uses to which It
is put exclusive of coinage. II has
this value whether coined or not, and
this value is not affected by coinage,
though the price is.
The coinage value of gold is the
difference between its intrinsic value,
or use in the arts, and its exchange
value as money.
"This difference is 50 material, that
if gold were demonetized, its price
per ounce would decline one half
We have no means of determining this
accurately, but, where gold has been
partially demonetized this difference
has become manifest ut once. Its
price as bullion has fallen to the level
Of its natural value. Dpmonetize the
ounce Of gold and its price falls five,
ten, fifteen, twenty-five per cent, and
this fall would only be checked when
its true intrinsic value had been
reached

value OF wheat is greater than gold;

readily control the volume than If it

They have no taxes in Australia.
Well, that is curious, isn'tit? So we
thought when first informed Of this
fact by an intelligent, observing gem
tleman, who had travelled much and
spent some time in that country. He
said they have no taxes thele. for the
reason that the government owns all
the public works, the railroads, street
and steam--and other public improve
ments by which revenue can be raised.
The result is that a revenue from all
these sources is supplied, sufficient to
run the government and meet all ex-
pences incident thereto. This would
be considered a novel way Of support
ing the government in this coun try,
but it is said to work we'll there. It

approximate it, and thereby test its
feasibility, in its application to our afF-
airs. The Australian ballot system

make equal the difference to the ma.
tional defenders between the money

Money is the financial lifeblood of
national prosperity. Plenty of money,
like plenty Of blood, causes briskness
Uf circulation. Paucity of money, like
paucity of blood, causes poverty and
distress.
When we use the term money, we
mean good money, legal tender for
all debts public and private, flexible,
convenient, and adapted to the needs
of commerce and trade. Money should
be sufficient in volume to meet the
utmost demands of legitimate business,
and to render boarding an | usury un-
profitable.
Money is a creature of law and n
II medium of exchange. Under civil
zed government, it requires the seal
and authority of the nation declaring
it to be legal tender and receivable
for governmental as well as private
dues. Herein we see the gross ini-
quIty of the exemption put upon the
greenback. In effect it said: This
money is good enough for the common
people, the soldier, the sailor, the
merchant, the mechanic, but it is not
good enough for the banker. the bond
holder, and the government.
THE HISTORY OF MONEY.
In the history of nations, the follow
ing substances, either as coin or by
weight have been used as money.
Gold, silver, copper, brass, hickle,
iron tin, glass, lead, agate. shells.
musket balls, nails, etc. Besides these
substances cattle, sheep and human
beings have been employed as money.
Potatoes, turnips. salt, rice, corn.
beans, etc, have been used. Besides
these, parchment and paper have been,
and are still used by the highest civil
LIKED nations as money and medium
of exchange. 1t is estimated that So
per cent. of business transactions are
done by checks, drafts and bills of ex-
change, in both the United States,
continental Europe, and for that
matter in all the world Now when
we take into account the paper money
used by the nations of the earth, in
business transactions, the amount of
coin actually used is very small IN COM
parison. This not in q barbaric, but
in II civilized and enlightened condi-
ton Of society.

In 1873, silver was demonetized in
the United States, and about the same
time also in Great Britain, France and
Germany. This was done at the insti-
CATION Of money lenders, and was
prompted by greed. and the cupidity
of those who had fixed incomes.
In 1857 the German states and
Austria demonetized gold. The OBJ
ject in this case was the same-to
lessen the volume of money and to in
crease the purchasing power Of the
standard by which values ale esti-
mated. All these measures are EN-.

THE INTRINSIC VALUE IDEA.

Many people in the face of the fore
going facts still cling to the intrinsic
value idea of money. The supreme
court Of the United States passed on
the corstitutionNIity Of the greenback,
and in that decision declared that
"money was creature of law" that
the constitutional provision, granting
to congress the power to "coin money"
implied also the power to issue "bills
of credit" and that under this con-
struction the greenback law was con-
stitutional, and United States notes
were lawful money.
Ten cents worth of copper coined by
the United States mint into pennies
pass for $1.60-$1.50 of fiat and 10
cents of intrinsic value. Nckle is
worth 70 cents per pound. and when
coined make $500 worth of 3 cent
pieces. Here is $3.50 cents of fiat,
and 80 cents of intrinsic value. Some
say the silver dollar is worth only Is
cents. Here then il q cents of fiat.
In the gold dollar there is cents of
fat. Ard without the fiat none of
these metals would be legal tender,
and would not be money.

EDITOR Bulletin
The communication of Reader"
is admirably written. To fully an
swer it, would require more of the
elements of statesman, and of a
political prophet than | possess.
With such outlook, however, as |
seem to myself to have, the certainty
is very clear OF continued and in
creasingly powerful interference"
Of America in Hawaii
Japan has 500 times the popula-
ton Of Hawaii. Five hundred cruis-
ers would be a proportionate force
TO station at Yokohama, which would
look very much like business"
Reader will probably not maintain
that the force OF the Boston is not
entirely adequate to overawe our
little kingdom.
Examiner, who lately reported ON
Hawaiian affairs. freely reprehended
the American Minister here for al
legged undue influence or interfer-
ence. His acts, whatever they were,
may be assumed to have been per
formed under explicit instructions
from his government. Such acts,
taken in connection with the perma-
nent presence of war vessel to sup
port them, sufficiently illustrate the
question of powerful interference"
| That his Interference has not been
violent or excessive, does not make
it less powerful.
Whether a small country can be
permitted to remain Independent or
not, must depend on its geographi-
cal and strategic position. No in
telligent advocate of Home Rule for
Ireland proposes TO make Ireland
nationally independent of Great
Britain. Strategic outposts like
Malta or the Bernudas are neces-
sarily occupied by some one of the
great powers. The immense annoy
ance experienced by the Federal
government from Nassau, during the
civil war, illustrates the strategic
importance of Hawaii to the United
States. This importance will evil
IDENTIFY be vastly enhanced with the
immense development of trans
| Pacific commerce consequent upon
the opening of the Nicaragua canal.
ll' VI tNtiN
group in the Pacific by the great
Powers leaves the United States
hardly any alternative but to take
Hawaii. Samoa, the only exception,
is held back from appropriation with
difficulty by American influence.
With our heterogeneous popula-
! ton, we should even now feel great
insecurity but for the friendly pro-
lection of the United States actually
existing.
Autonomy, independence, national
honor and pride are indeed most ex-
cellent things. When impossible of
realization, however, they become
for us only words A place in the
Great Federation will secure to us
practical autonomy, real Home
Rule together with high and
honorable partnership with the
greatest and-as Americans think
the noblest of nations.
