would have been done the creditor as
it has the debtor. for then one eighth
of bushel of wheat would have
brought enough money to have paid
off 81 of a government bond, and the
creditor would have been loser to that
extent, not in dollars and cents, but in
the eqnity of the debt, which is its true
value.
What the producer needs, and what
he demands is, that the volume of cur
rency be increased and prices of COM
modities raised until the equity of his
debts is restored.
1t is true that where prices have
been put by the extortion of trusts to
increase profits beyond what is reason-
able, they should be lowered. But,
with the abolition of trusts and the
competition which would naturally re-
suit, these matters. with an adequate
supply of circulating medium, would
soon adjust themselves. Low prices is
not penacea for existing evils, but,
on the other hand, is the irritant, the
primal cause, of nearly all discomfort
among the wealth producers.

Liberty cannot long endure in any

That price win fall or rise as the

If a government enacted debt with

l believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies. Already they
have raised up a money arstocracy
that has set the government at def
ance. The issuing power should be
taken from the banks and restored to
the government and the people, to
whom it properly belongs. Let the
bank exist, but let them bank on coin
or treasury notes.-Thomas Jeffer-
son.
The government ought not to dele
gate this power (of issuing money! if
it could. 1t is too great Il power to be
trusted to any banking business what
ever The people are not safe when
such Il company have such IL power.
The temptation is too great, the OPP
portunity too easy, to put up and
down prices. to bring the whole com
munity on its knees to these Neptunes
who preside over the fiux and refiux of
paper money. Stocks are their play
thlngs with which they gamble with us
little secrecy and less morality than

CIeveland,s Health.

President Cleveland's health is said
to be in a precarious condition. He
continues to pile up flesh and there is
danger of its interfering with the free
action of his heart. He has tried va
rious remedies and treatments 10 keep
dewn the fat and he works harder
than the average clerk; but it still in
creases. Walking is the best remedy
he has found, but the effect of walking
for any considerable length of time
upon his breathing apparatus is said by
those who have seen him in one of the
blowing spells brought on by long
walk to be very bad, as we'll as ex-
ceedingly dangerous to a man of his
physique with even a slight heart
trouble. These things have been
known to a few personal friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland for quite a
while and lately they have been caus-
ing them much anxiety, although if a
stranger asked one of them how Mr..
Cleveland's health was the answer
would be ''tiptop; never better" OF
something similar, as it seems to be
understood among all the friends of
the family that any fears they may
entertain must be kept from the public.
Physicians as rule decline to eX-
press an opinion on such delicate
matter. but personal friendship and a
promise not to use his name got the
following from a physician who has
had opportunity to know whereof he
speaks: Yes, l consider that Mr..
Cleveland condition is what any
honest physician would after careful
examination declare to be precarious;
am certain that no insurance COM
pany would accept risk on his life.
unless it were done merely as, an adj
vertisement, and yet, have known
men in similar condition to live for
20 years, but they were exceptional.
He has one thing that is very much in
his favor, however, and that is a set OF
nerves that have never yet forced
themselves upon his attention, but
while that is favorable so far as the
heart trouble is concerned it can have
no effect upon the growth of the cells
of fat that is apparently gradually
closing around his heart. This growth
may continue or it may stop, if it stops
he may live to be an old man; if it
continues he may go off some day
without IN hours warning" Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland left Washington last
week for their Buzzard's Bay cottage.
He will only remain there few days
but she will stay all summer.

The farmers of the staCe of Wash
ington are pushing forward a ware
house system. During the last two or
three years the Alliances in the Pa
louise country, which comprises the
greater part of eastern Washington
and is one of the most productive
wheat belts in the world, have been
building their own grain warehouses
on the cooperative plan. This prov
ing success, it is now their purpose
to erect a terminal warehouse at tide
water, which will place them in direct
communication with the markets of
the world. The company has been
organized with capital stock of $3.50
900 in shares of $25 each. The city of
Tacoma, situated on Puget Sound, has
boon decided upon for the location.
The business men of that place have
given very valuable site of six acres
of ground and further donated $780,
900 toward the $4,000 or 100000
necessary for the cost of erection.
The opposition from the railroads and
grain spectators will be strong, but
the farmers presenting an unkroken
front will win 1t is hoped very soon
to secure some legislative relief by
the appointment of a grain Inspector.
A proper system of inspection and
classification of grain and cotton by
the government would save the farm
er a vast sum of money.

Low Prices.

| Low prices for commodities mean
low wages for those who produce them.
1t is not low prices that the farmer
needs. The thrifty farmer and laboreT
produces and sells more than he buys.
The surplus goes towards paying his
debts and taxes, and is laid up for a
''rainy day" If he receives high
prices this surplus is larger, and of
course, goes further in paying debts
and taxes. We are largely debtor
nation While we admit that the pin
ciple of changing the equity of debt
is wrong. we insist that the wrong has
already been done and the producer is
the victim. Money has been increased
in value until it represents twice the
amount of commodities that it did. As
the debtor must part with commodi-
ties to obtain money to pay his debts
he must part with twice the amount
he would when the debt was contract
ed. This amounts to a transfer of a
portion of the debtors property to his
creditor. Nothing more. nothing less.
AS he receives no equivalent for this
transfer it is robbery. This result is
accomplished by legislating value into
the dollar. The plutocrats call it max
ing the dollars ''honest." 1t is. in
fact. making them dishonest.
Take a government bond for illus
tration. In 1864, 81 in a government
bond cost 81 In greenbacks. The
greenback at that time represented. in
value, one-half bushel of wheat. One
dollar in government bond now rep
resents about two bushels of wheat
The debts is expressed in dollars and
cents, but the equity is represented in
commodities iG requires to obtain the
dollars and cents to pay it. Had COM
modities diminished as the value of
money kept pace with population and
demand. as have commodities. injustice

Wall Street Scored.

The New York World handles the
pirates of Wall street in the following
vigorous style:
The disturbance in Wall street has cost
many hundred millions of dollars.
1t has resulted directly from the practice
of fraud and from the liberation of such
! pracUceS. 1t is the direct consequence Of
| the fact that man may HagrantIy violate

| petrate the most Scandalous SwindIeS with

manipulators of the cOrdage and whisky
trusts, the coal conspiracy and every Other
monopoly organization whose stock is lis
ted on the exchange.
The organizers of every industrial trust
in restraint of trade and competition al E.
by express definition of law. Every such
trust is criminal tOnspiracy, denounced
as such by statute. Yet their stocks are
vOuched for by bankers of eminence and
and listed upon the stock exchange quite
as II they represented lawful business
undertakings.
When men exploit these enterprises upon
an inflated capitalization they commit
second crime-the particularly cOntemp-
tlble one of obtaining money under false
pretenSes, an Offense for which small raS-
Gals are hustled off to prison whenever
they are caught.
When these reputable manipulators
Operate" Ia the stocks of their companies
and sell the market short they again offend
against the penal code and commit an
additional crime. On all these points The
World has cited the exact letter of the law.
Yet even when all the scandalOus facts
of such operations are made public these
men are treated in Wall street as reputable
persons entitled to special regards for the
bOldneSS OF their financial conceptions,
and the hrTlIianaU m9T1ifaSfod nv them in
getting other peoples money by dishonest
trick and device.
The absence for regard for the moral law
in Wall street and the contempt felt there
for the penal code as thing applicable to
big raScalS as well as little ones are the
primary causes of a catastrophe which in
ficts untold harm upon the business and
prosperity of the people.

THERE are some queer stories about
the resignation of Minister Blount.
which, although not officially acknowl-
edged by the department of state. is
generally believed to have been re-
ceived and to have been accepted.
There are differences of opinion about
Mr.. Blount's judgment. but none about
his courage in standing up fer what he
believes to be right. The gist of these
stories is that his report on the condi-
ton of affairs in Hawaii was not just
what the administration expected,
hence his resignation. No person in
authority will confirm any of these
stories.
