NEW STANDARD OF VALUE.
Some Ideas from the Speech of Jones OF
Nevada.

Nevada.
WAsHINGToN. Oct. :S5.-During his speech
in the senate Jones o. Nevada stated that
he desired dollar that kept at a parity
with pound OF cotton or a bushel of
wheat, and not with metal that was con-
stautly increasing in value a dollar
which increased in value made the rich
richer and the poor poorer, whereas, if
the dollar decreased in value there would
be day OF jubilee to the overburdened
debtor.
Mcpherson thought that if gold had ap-
prec ated interest would have gone up
and labor have gone down. whereas. in
the past ten or fifteen gears United States
bond interest had gone down from 5 to =
per cent. While labor had gone up in
irregular increasing ratios.
jones replied that he had shown to the
satisfaction of every man who listened to
him that one of the highest proofs of an
increase in the value of money of any kind
especially in a new and unfinished coun-
try-was decline in the rates Of interest.
II money were increasing in purchasing
power, in its command over land and over
the production Of labor, everywhere, and
If prices were falling, who wanted to enter
into any businessf

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The senate did a
little routine business, but the silver
question was the one that occupied most
of the day. The important outcome of it
all was the authoritative announcement
that the silver men on both sides
of the chamber would at once cease OBJ
struction and permit vote as soon as the
pending speeches are concluded. This was
announced by Harris and Dubois. Jones
and Stewart continued their speeches and
another recess was taken.
The house passed bill requiring engi-
neers and assistant engineers on merchant
vessels to be citizens of the United States.
Debate on the bankruptcy bill was re-
sumed and ran ial gely 20 discussion of
the silver questions. With the debate
still pending the house adjourned.

"If ever get chance TO hit slavery by
God will hit it hard" Thirty years
later when he did hit it the world knows
the result The people today need a
Lincoln as much as during the war
period, and sccond great lea.ier of the
people will rise up out of the thinking
struggling masses that are determined to
throw off the yoke of the grinding corpo-
rate power that is crowding the people
into conditan little better't than actual

and noble champion, fearless and we'll

The Leader.
A Peoples Victory.


When President Mcleod said few
month ago that the decision rendered by
u great court against the monopolistic
policy of the Reading road would have
as much effect upon II tribe Of Choctaw
Indians as upon the policy Of the road ol
which he was president, The Inter
Ocean plainly told him that if the people
heard much more of such talk from him,
or from such as he, they would be very
likely to enact laws that would make
him feel that corporations deprive their
existence from the will Of the people, and
not that the people depend upon the will
OF corporations.
The operations of the law, however,
has taught Mr.. Mcleod this lesson with
out the intervention of any special legis'
lation. From the very day on which the
Inter Ocean rebuked his arrogance, the
decay of the power of the anthracite coal
trust became more and more apparent.
The State of Illinois. through its attorney
for Cook County. and upon suggestion OF
The Inter Ocean. made it plain to the
trust~that it could not collect a cent for
coal sold in contravention of the state
law. The projected December rise in the
price of anthracite was abandoned in
alarm by Mr.. Mcleod and his associates.
January passed withouta Il rise, and Feb
ruary found the lately powerful monop'
oily in the article of death.
So valuable a property rs the Reading
Road hardly would have been permitted
to go into bankruptcy under ordinary
circumstances; money is plentiful, and
investments have been on liberal scale
Of late. But capitalists feard the hos
tllity of the people to the Reading Road
Its inso!ent boast of superiority to the
courts, its resolute intent to perfect and
maintain a great monopoly. its swaggei
ana its bounce. irritated the people in the
same manner that the swagger ane
bounce Of certain anarchists OF lower
degree once irritated them. Capi'
txlists saw this, and feared 70 come t
the aid of road that the people were re
solved to bring into realization sense
the power Of law over corporations. ant
thus the descent of Reading is y testi
mony to the weight OF public opinio
upon commercial issues.
Well will it be If the new management
Of the road learn this great truth. Tn
| time when --the public be damned was
safe utteranoe of a railway magnate ha

provokes the i'll will of the people b

Frank Dickey and Cass HOgebOOm
Burned by Blazing Oil.
What might have been tragic affair, but
was serious as it was, occurred at the Palace
hotel last Friday Frank Dickev and Cass
Hogeboom and some others were in rollick-
ing mood and the two mentioned were locked
up, or were supposed to be, in the cubby
hole or rubbish room under the main stair
way. They lighted lantern and in attempt
ing to hang in up on a nail the lantern fell
down and the pent up place was soon ablaze
with flames. There was oil rags and open
kerosene in the place. HOgeboOm kicked Il
hole through the partition and crawled out.
He was quite badly, but not seriously burn
ed. Frank Dickey tried to make his exit by
the door which opened inward, and in the
fright and confusion was longer getting out
and was badly burned about the face and
hands. The doctor, j. NJ. Poff. was in doubt
for a day or two about his recovery, but the
worst is now past and the frisky Frank is
now on a fair way to recovery. We are glad
to chronicle no greater harm from thought
less hazing. They should have their pictures
taken on recovery as a reminder.

Thou do thy earthly mission.

In sunlight or i'll storm

What lieth in oar pathway?
What of the coming year?
Doth veal or woe await us,
Glad smile or flowing tear?
Whattoken givest?
