I'm 1850 Prussia adopted a land-loan
scheme to enable her peasants to be-
come land owners with homes. Last
year England enacted land-loan bill
to enable the Irish tenants to own their

The Charleston Is. CO. News and
Courier has kindly consented to the
advent of third party, and furnishes

sition that is more absurd than the as
sumption that money should possess
an intrinsic value equal to the value
of the products, the exchange of
which it is designed to facilitate.

trinsic value equal to dollar than

intrinsic value equal to the value of
the cloth that it measures. Money as
such possesses neither length, breadth
nor thickness, and its only value con-
sists in the fact that by law and custom
it is the medium by which debts are
paid and wealth exchanged -Advo-

Says the Dakota Ruralist: The
resolution passed by the state presi-
dents at their late meeting very much
simplifies the position so far as the F..
A. and 1. U. is concerned It has been
claimed by some of our friends that
there was no national peoples party
organized at Cincinnati last May. We
have always contended that there was.
and that the party then organized
should go on with its work the same as
any other party. Others have claimed
that it was only organized conditional
~, etc. We believe that the F. A. and
I. U. delegates when they assemble at
st. Louis will be a unit on this ques-
ton. The duty Of the national committee
Of the peoples party is to push the pork of
organization.
