TREAT THEM AS COMMODITIES.

Issue Paper Money and Let Gold and Sill
yer Take Their Chances with Corn and
Wheat.
In a recent interview at indianapolis,
Senator PETER was asked: "Do you
think that the increasing stringency
you predict will have the effect to
strengthen the demand for an interna-
tional agreement as to silver with
gold?' He replied:
There is no such demand, except in
our own country. The truth is that
our political leaders know that there is
no demand for a stipulated ratio in
European countries, and they have not
been honest with us. There is no hope
or proper expectation of such an ar
rangement. The countries which con-
troll the finances of the world are En-
gland and Germany, where the bankers
have been in actual control of none
tary affairs for centuries back. as wit
ness the bank of England They do
not want siyer to be recognized, for
they are interested in keeping up the
price of gold, because they have the
gold. There is a great fallacy as to
the good effect of a certain ratio. |
favor letting gold as well as silver
stand upon its own bottom, so to speak,
and be known to the government only
as bullion. That is the only way it is
considered in the balance of nations.
1t is paid out to foreign countries when
the balance of trade is against us ac-
cording to its weight. The people upon
such plan would soon learn that it is
not necessary to have a, stamped value
for gold, but that it should be allowed
to bring its price in the open market.
Our business dealings and our popula-
ton are increasing much faster than
the supply of gold, so that an arbitrary
standard for gold is bound to create an
increasing disparity of values. This
would not happen if gold and silver
were upon bullion basis"

THE BASE FOR MONEY.

Inconvertible Paper Money Needs No
Base but the Legal Tender Attribute.
At late meeting held in Topeka.
Kan, to discuss the silver question adj
dresses were made by Joseph Marshall,
W. II. Bennington, Adjutant-General
Artz, e. c. Clements and MesSrs. Corn
ing and Hackworth. Resolutions were
introduced by Mr.. Bennington and
adopted favoring the demonstration of
gold and the substitution of paper for
both silver and gold The following
are the resolutions in full:
Whereas, Tie monetIri, commercial and in
dustrial world is on the verge Of tumult ana
eruption therefore be it
Resolved, II silver cannot be restored to its
supersutious and constitutional position as
money and allowed TO circul Ite on par with
goli. at ratio OF IS to l, or unless some other
kind of money is substituted 10 take the place
of both gold and silver, general bankruptcy is
inevitable
Resolved further. That il silver cannot be re-
monetized, gold should be demone,ized and pa
per substituted for both gold and silver.
Resolved. further, That the gold trust and
money brokers, by rejecting or attempting to
reject one Of the precious metals, have taught
and proved to the people that both may be re.
Iected, and that this conspiracy Of contraction
is crime against the commercial and indus
trial world as the unprecedented failures Of
each succeeding day abundantly prove. And
be il further
Resolved. That this is a progressive age: an
age in which the steam engine has displaced
the ox-cart, and electricity cements continents
and makes six months journey in a twinkle,
and that the use Of gold and silver are on their
journey to the mechanical and fine arts, where
they belong, and that the thoughtof using them
as base for money is being relegaied to the
dark ages Of ignorance and superstition where
it originated We believe that all the gold and
all the silver. plus all the cattle and all the
landau wealth and the integrity of the Amer
lean people, are better bases for money, than
are simply gold and silver.
The words base" and ''basis" are a
relic of financial barbarism. Full legal
tender, inconvertible paper money, is
sued by great and wealthy nation like
the United States, needs no "basis, but
the sacred promise of its citizens, sew
orally and collectively, as nation and
as individuals, to receive such money
in payment of all debts, both public
and private. This is the essence of le-
gal tender.

From Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 3.-The Federal
Court this morning refused the
application of District Attorney
Milchrist for a restraining closing
the gates CT the Fair tosmorrow.
The decision in the Injunction
case is postponed until next Thurs
day.
The Worlds Fair will be open at
least one more Sunday despite the
proceedings that have occupied the
attention of the United States
Court during the present week.
Judge Wood announced this morn-
ing that there were several law
points involved in the arguments
that required careful attention and
consideration, and that 10 conses
quence the court had decided to
take no immediate action. All par
ties to the case were instructed to
appear in court at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning, when a decision
would be rendered. The corut adj
ded that pending the rendering of
the final decision, it would take no
action on any of the side motions
submitted to it.
This puts a qnietns on the me.
ton of Attorney Cieland, who was
representing the Illinois Sabbath
Association, for a temporary ius
junction restraining the Direcs
tors from opening tosmorrow, and
which it had been intended to press
on new grounds had the decision
been rendered to-day against the
Government. As soon as the courts
announcement had been made it
at once adjourned for the day, and
the audience fled out. Sunday
closing advocates, who were pres
sent in large numbers, showed by
their manner of remarks that they
were exceedingly disappointed,
while the other side was correspond.
ingly jubilant. Arrangements have
been made by the Fair authorities
for handling an immense crowd tos
morrow, and ii the weather is favor.
