The Double Standard,

The silver question is pressing for
solution, and every movement in the
gold conspiracy tends to clarity the
situation and urge the importance of
double standard, under which the
the business of the country will not be
subjected to the merciless manoevres
OF an exclusive class of money chang
ers who are ever ready to take advan-
tage of the gold monopoly by twisting
the screws whenever it suits their
purpose to make turn. The only
sure protection of the peoples inter
ests and the rights of the country's
commerce is in the double standard,
80 that when the Shylocks get posses
sion of one, the functions of the other
will expand and operate as safety
valve against oppression and extor-
tion.-Atlanta GA Constitution.

Narrow Escape.

The Independent says A. w. Hes
son, ex-assessor of Elko county, mar
rowly escaped being killed by run
away team last Friday at Yowell's
ranch. He had been driving team
attached to moving machine. While
standing in front of the sickle bar I'M
hit,hing, the horses took fright. Mr..
Hesson held one of the animals by the
bride and was dragged several rods.
One of the guards caught him under
the right jaw and tore quite hole,
making severe flesh wound. His
scalp was badly cut necessitating sew
eral stitches and besides these he sus-
tanned severe injuries across the small
of the back which will lay him up for
some time.

Reno New, July %. Judge Cheney
has decided very important water
suit at Lovelocks, Humboldt county.
He gives the plaintiffs water enough
to frrigate their land under the best
management. They claimed the right
to all their ditch would carry and ask
ed for the removal of dam higher up
in the Humboldt, which was refused.
The decision is of great value, giving
Nevada farmers an opportunity to use
the surplus water of the streams.

Painful rumors come from Reno to
the effect that the 4th of July celebra-
ton was badly handled and that in
spite of large amount of money be-
ing raised, and poor show given
there was a $4,000 shortage.
The people who handled the affair
propose to have the County Commits

on the taxpayers. Appeal.

VIII They Do 1t.

It was only three years ago that the
South reached out her arms to the
new West; las imploringly as Lord
Ullinm's daughter,) for aid against
the passage by. Congress of the odious
Lodge force bill. She got that aid;
that help; the bill was sent to the grave
of the Capulets; and the South, ever
intending to be chivalrous, was rescued
by that aid from the deepest sectional
humiliation.
Now the new West is asking the
chivalrons South to aid her in avert
ing financial ruin and degrading
bankruptcy, by alinging with her in
defense of silver. 1t is a debt past
due, unpaid, and owing, which it will
not injure the South to pay, and
which, if repudiated, will leave stain
too indelible for the waters of the
Lethe to remove.
Will the South obey the calls of
duty, or listen to a President who is
dishonoring his high Office to injure,
not the new West alone, but all the
laboring classes of the nation! We
shall soon see. -Tehachapi Tribune.

The inside facts, now they are known

The inside facts, now they are known
respecting the failure of Charles Fos-
ter, late secretary of the treasury, are
scandalous in high degree. The
bank controlled by him has liabilities
of more than 1898, 900, and it's assets
foot up only $7O,286. The enor-
nous discrepancy was created mainly
by Foster himself, who over-drew his
own account to the extent of 1886, 900.
That is to say, he took from the bank
$136, 900 of other peoples money and
sunk it in his own speculations.

fore cashed readily all pension checks
presented, but now several banks in the
west have notified the treasury depart
ment that in view Of the financial strin-
genCy they do not feel justified in doing
so at present. The doing SO requires
considerable ready money: in some In
stances 100000 day. Acting Secretary
Curtis has suggested to the banks that
are not inclined to cash these checks
that if they will deposit United States
bonds in exchange for currency he will
deposit the necessary currency with
them to pay the pension checks on pre-
sentstion. The banks are not favorably
impressed with this idea, as their cash
ing of pension checks is simply matter
Of convenience to holders, and to 90 to
the trouble Of depositing bonds is an ad-
ditional trouble they do not wish to un-
dertake. All of the banks have indicated
a purpose to receive pension certificates

be the outcome of the present hitch.

The Correct Basis of Property Rights.

The Correct Basis Of Property Rights.
What we should try to bring about is
knowledge Of individual and communal
rights, which knowledge Is best promoted
by study Of property rights. Now, every
property right should have a moral
basis, which basis is production. All
laws should be made with the intent to
remove all obstacles which in any way
impede the procurement Of said produc-
tion by the individual or community.
From the mere fact that no man or
group Of men produced the natural
earth, no man or group has absolute
ownership of said earth.
Now, maintain that by the commu-
nifty taking it's own production, ground
rents, and leaving to the individual his
entire production, namely, improve
ments, such as houses, fences, bitches,
increased fertility, crops, ETC., we will
bring mankind to natural and, therefore,
just conditions, as relates to mother
earth and his fellow man. Such q prin-
oiple in government would give all men
equal rights to natural opportunities to
procure living, and would destroy mo-
nopoly almost wholly. Monopoly is
really governmental power which now
may be obtained by investment Of cspi-
tai; whereas the people should always
elect their own governmental agents.
The taking Of ground rents solely by the
community and using them economic
ally for the benefit Of the general public
would abolish taxation. The community
would take its own production and use
it for the general benefit, allowing the
individual his entire production for his
own benefit.
The article from Ludwig Fritsch, of
July l3, suggested to me the foregoing
remarks. He seems entirely ignorant Of
the single tax plan. He sqpposes we
would rob the farmer by taxing land.
We do not intend to tax land at all,
but take yearly ground rents, produced
by the general public, which would
allow solid possession of land by every
industrious person, and encourage him
to improve without any limit.-W. Han
cock, in Twentieth Century.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-Windom, in this

harvest home picnic, attended by about
1000 people. Despite the announce
ment that it was to be q season Of re-
joicinR and convivial hilsrity to disperse

preston, the invited speakers, with one
exception, raised the wind by blowing
the old stereotYped tornado Of prosper

farmer, his sons and his daughters, who
listened intently, and in vain, for one
syllable pointing out remedy for the

been surrounded.

even the losing Of this beggsrly pittance
will cause all the horrors Of famine to
the laborers. All, we'll. This is what
they have voted for. This is the result
OF the fealty they have paid to party
while remaining ignorant Of the social
forces that were crushing them. They
have thrown up their hats at the sound
Of the name of some great political thief
and robber, and condemned students
and thinkers who saw the present con-
ditions coming. They have abused the
men who tried to show them the adVan-
tsgss OF the government, that is them
selves, owning all the means Of produc-
tion and operating the plants for their
own good. They have hOoted at such
an idea They refused to study the
problems to see whether or not it would
be right and better. They don't find
the postofices shutting down and turn
ing out their employees. They are run
for the good of all. The government
should own and operate the cotton fac
tories, and pay such wages as would
enable the workers to become independ-
ent. There is no overproduCtion, for
millions are in want. Let all men be 80

600 year; that $4,000 wages per week
means $2,900OOO year; that 100000
pounds cf cotton at 7 cents means
$2,24O,0O0 a year. That the cotton and
labor divided by the number Of yards
means only shade over 4 cent q yard

made the falling Of a pin a desfening
roar. "How are the mighty fallen I"
Mrs. T. J. Smith, formerly Pop, who
popped over to the republicans last
fall because the Populist state commit
tee would not pop $40O into her wan,
pun belt for campaigning, executed one
Of the thinnest speeches in the history
oil the Smith family, "an honest dollar
and "intrinsiC value" being her labored
theme. Intrinsic value would not have
disturbed her dreRms-that fiat would
have been powerfully sufficient unto the
day, was sbundantly proved be her lack
Of argument, laying bare the wonderful
difference between her former Populis-
tic and present republic auefforts. She,
too, sat down to the applause OF her own
footsteps; not one sound Of approval
emansted from the audience.
But, last Of ell, came Mr.. Hoch,
Of Marion, speaker pro tenn Of the Doug
lass house. He complimented the old
farmer, his wife, daughters and babies;
informed them that they were honest,
well-dressed and good-looking; that God,
under republican guidance, had made
this q land Of plsnty-Rll that remains
is to vote the republican ticket and
stick her in straight every time, and
we should no longer want for the things
Of this life. He swung his arms around
in fantastic gyrstions, sweat and frothed
under q sweltering sun to nearly double
his allotted time, looking at his hearers
appeslingly for applause that never
came. At last, he, too, sat down.
The only Populist orator was Judge G.
E. Foote. My country, 'tis Of thee, what

out, "Pull off your coRtp and it was

muddle. Holding up before him copy
of the Mcpherson county delinquent tax

an evidence Of the financial stringency
Co-existent everywhere in the west,show-
ing one-third of the county revenues un-
collected, he asked: SIS that sneVidence

referredE" He also upset Mrs. Smiths
"honest dollar" theory, and knocked the
life out OF Mr.. Hoch's remarks. Urged
to continue his talk, the judge spoke
upon "fist money" and proved that nat
money is q fact and not an iridescent
dream.
