TREAT THEM AS COMMODITIES.

Issue Paper Money and Let Gold and Sill
yer Take Their Chances with Corn and
Wheat
In 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 silver 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 certain ratio. 1
favor letting gold as well as silver
stand upon it's 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 a bullion basis'

gerous abuses-are becoming better
understood.
We know, if we know anything, that
neither the monometallic nor bimetalic
standard alone will do, but in addition
thereto we must have as circulating
medium a legal tender treasury note,
ample and sufficient to meet the ever
increasing demands of commerce and
trade, issued by the national govern
ment AS long as we use silver and
gold alone there will always be great
uncertainty and rivalry between the
interested advocates of both, growing
out of sordid and selfish motives. An
other difficulty, too, is in keeping them
at a proper, equalized ratio and regu-
lating their parity, all of which will
create contention and confusion among
the various advocates of the two met
ais, thereby creating want of conf
dence in business circles and crippling
the business interests of the country.
Having come to definite conclusi on
after much research, as to what money
is, what are its uses and what have
been its abuses in the light of past ex-
perience; that money is simply
medium of exchange to facilitate COM
merce. and outside of this function,
which is its essential principle,1it can
confer no further benefit on man, hav-
ing no intrinsic value of its own, but
having the exchange value conferred
upon it by the fat of the law: I hold
that one thing as well as another, le-
gally authorized. may constitute money

nation of values and in the destruction
of credit values. The man who is out
of debt, who don't want to sell his
land and is in no hurry to dispose of
his produce is just as wealthy as ever.
Wall streets effort to scare the country
into acquiescence in her schemes has
resulted more disastrously to the
wealth represented by Wall street in
terests than to any other property
Kansas Farmer.
Gold men, and silver men, too, have
great deal to say about money of
ultimate redemption. We advise the
silver men to drop that nonsense. We
do not want one kind of money re-
deemed in another. That is where the
catch comes in, and the rascality is
perpetrated Money issued, as it
should be, by the sovereign, needs no
redemption. 1t will always pay debts
and taxes and purchase commodities.
No other use has money. We favor the
free coinage of silver because it is an
American product, and not because it
is, required as money of ulti-
mate redemption. Let these ideas be
kept SCedully IN mlnO. SO Cnat when
we have achieved reform it will be
worth something. Gold and silver,
with paper money redeemable therein
on demand, is no reformation-is no
advance. Indeed, it would be worse
than our present system, if possible.
That was the system in vogue before
the war and was always a sham and
pretense. 1t means tribute to the mid
dlernan for the use of money, and
slavery to the producing class. Mis-
souri, World.

CUTDOWN MODIFIED.
The End of the Big Providence Mil strik
Is Near.

providence, Dec. 9.-There was rejoic-
ing in the wooden mill quarter when it was
made known by the executive committee
Of the strikers that the strike which was
started Oct. was practically at an end,
and that Charles Fletcher, who controls
the Providence National mills, which en-
ploy nearly 1900 hands, had come to sat-
isfactory terms
The executive committee had another
conference with the mill owners, and Mr..
Fletcher submitted a proposition which
was nearly the same as offered the opera
tives at the Saxon mills. This was salts
factory to the executive committee, though
the matter OF accepting it will be decided
by a popular vote of the striking opera
tives. The new scale Of pay offered is re-
garded rs honora le
The schedule presented by the ProVi-
dence National mills is satisfactory to the
other mill owners interested in the strike
excepting the owners of the Riverside
mills. The owners of these mills, which
employ COO hands, have not taken an active
part in the adjustment of the difficulty,
and Superintendent King of the Riverside
caused a notice to be posted in the millse x-
pressing regret that the operatives do not
understand the present situation and accept
such work rs the mills are able to give. 1t
states that work can be given only for a
portion of the time; that the mills have
only few orders; that they will remain
open for such as desire work, and the stu
atoms of the old help will be held until
Monday, after which their work will be
given to any who apply, ard those who
first come in will be given the preference
in permanent work.

KILLED THE OATES BILL
Vital Part of the Torrey Bank
ruptcy Measure Stricken Out.
UTAH STATE BILL sIDBTRAoKBD
Important Notifications OF the Wilson
BiII-May he Reported Before the Holt
day Recess-Trying to Increase the sug-
nr Tax.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Torrey bank
ruptcy bill was strangled unexpectedly by
the house Just rs the consideration of the
bill under the five minute rule was about
to begin. Colonel Oates, the champion Of
the measure, had declined to permit the
house to vote ON his substitute providing
simply for voluntary system of bank
ruptcy, whereupou Mr.. Bland of Missouri
precipitated the entire question by moving
TO strike out the existing clause of the bill.
Naiuly the advocates of the measure pro
tested that it was unfair TO reject the bill
before the house had had a chance to per
feet it by amendment. Their plcadings
were uEavailing. The vote was decisive.
1t was carried by lac to Ill. Judge Torrey
of St. Louis, the author Of the measure,
who has been here for 10 years promoting
the interests Of the bill, sat disConsolately
In the gallery.
The vote was not Il strict party one. An
analysis shows that lis Democrats, is Re
publicans and Populists voted to strike
out the enacting clause, and that a. Repub-
licans and II Democrats voted against it.
An attempt to drive the bill for the adj
mission of Utah as state through the
house during the morning hour was de
feated by determined tlibuster, led by
Mr.. Dingley of Maine aud supported by
almost the entire Republican side. The
course of the Republicans foreshadows
their policy upon the admission of not
only Utah. but the other Democratic terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona, bills
for which have already been favorably re-
ported by the committee on territories.
Oates Declined to FiIibustcr.
Representative Oates of Alabama, speak
ing of the bankruptcy bill after it had been
defeated, said that it was n good bill, and
he believed it one of the best that had ever
been proposed. He and othsr members of
the committee had spent much time in
preparing the measure to make il accepta-
BILE to the country. The speeches made
against it appealed to the fears of MEM
beers, and the bill was represented huge
collecting machine. He had done his duty
in the matter, and majority had de
cided against him he was content to abide
the result
The bill WAS very long, containing Il sec
tons, and many members voted against it
rather than carefully examine it. Mr.
Oates said he was urged to tilibuster in or
der to delay action until enough friends of
the hill appeared to carry it, but he said it
was the business of the frields of the bill
to lie ON hand, and he woulI not resort to
such measures.

THE AUSTIN CASE.
Adirondack Guides Say He Was Alive a.
Late rs Last Summer.

PLATTsBURG n. Y, Dec. 9-Eighteen
Adirondack guides have left for New York
to testify in the case of the life insurance
companies against the heirs of John c.
Austin, who are endeavoring to secure $25,-
600 in life insurance, claiming that he was
drowned of Manhattan beach during the
summer of 1891. The insurance companies
expect to prove that Austin had been seen
in the Adirondacks during lS92 and 1893
William Dolan, guide who has spent
the past 10 years near Sweeney carry, will
be the principal witness for the insurance
companies. He claims to have gpided
Austin during the summer of 1891, and
that one night while at the carry Austin
disappeared, and he has not seen him since
1t is claimed by the guides that Austin
was at Cranberry lake during 1892. e
Many of the hotel keepers in the woods
will testify to having lodged Austin many
times since his disappearance in New York
n barber in the Adirondacks who became
acquainted with Austin previous to 1890
will swear that he has shaved him a num-
Der of times since 1891. Much other testi-
mony of n similar nature is expected from
the guides who have gone to New York.
