BEAR THIS IN MIND.

A nation which, as government, 10
not In debt, its bonds not being held by
foreign nations, need not concern itself
value may be in other nations. Ma
tional governments are responsible for
and have to pay national debts only.
Adverse trade balances are paid by
firms, corporations and individuals In
gold or silver, coined or uncoined, by
weight at their market values The
s115, 600, 600 in gold, lost by the United
States during the last twelve months,
was not exported by the United States
government, but by individuals. Some
of it was sent abroad to settle trade
balances; some to pay for securities Of
fered for sale at low figures by foreign
nations; some Of It was exported purely
and simply as speculation for the
money there was in 1t. Less than nine
teen million dollars in United States
bonds are held abroad and our govern
ment is not concerned whether foreign
nations have as a standard gold idol,
a silver image or brass monkey.
Under such circumstances how fool
ish and unnecessary 1t is for MS to tie
our monetary system and volume Of
currency to the metals gold and silver.
Let US have American money for Amer
lea Give us money to use at home
that no one else wants and let those
who owe England, or any other nation
anything, pay it in gold or silver bull
lion, without disturbing our volume Of
domestic currency.

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 ad-
dresses were made by Joseph Marshall,
w. H. Bennington, Acknowledgement
ArtZ, G. c. Clements and Messrs. Corn
ing and Hackworth. Resolutions were
introduced by Mr.. Bennington and
adopted favoring the demonetization of
gold and the substitution of paper for
both silver and gold. The following
are the resolutions in full:
Whereas, The monetary commercial and in
dustrial world is on the verge of tumult and
eruption; therefore be it
Resolved, If silver cannot be restored to its
supersutious and constitutional position as
money and allowed to circulate on a par with
gold, at ratio OF 16 TO 1, or unless some other
kind Of money is substituted to take the place
of both gold and silver, general bankruptcy is
inevitable
Resolved, further, That if silver cannot be re-
monetized, gold should be demonetized and pa
per substituted for both gold and silver
Resolved. further, That the gold trust and
money brokers, by rejecting attempting to
reject one Of the precious metals, have taught
and proved to the people that both may be re-
jected, and that this conspiracy of contraction
trial world. as the unprecedented failures of
each succeeding day abundanNy prove And
be 1t 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 thong ht of using them
as base for money is being relegated 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
land-all 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 a great and wealthy nation like
the United States, needs no "basis," but
the sacred promise of It's 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.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

Give Us Full Legal Tender Paper Money
and a System of Government Banks.
In our opinion the repeal of the Sher-
man law will not restore confidence or
make better times Its repeal viii not
increase the volume of money, but,
rather, it will reduce it. 1t Is contrac-
tion-not expansion. 1t is drawing in
not throwing out It is harder times
not better times. To check the
downward tendency of business, what
should be done? Adopt monetary sys-
tenn for this country independent of all
other nations. Republican.
This is a good, common sense Ameri-
can suggestion. While we doubt IL the
repeal of the Sherman law would either
result in an expansion or contraction Of
our currency, the proposition to estab-
lish an American monetary system in
dependent of all other nations Is both
practical and rational. Had the rspub-
lican party adopted and adhered TO this
kind of a monetary policy and kept IT
self clear Of entangling alliances with
corporations and public plunderers,
there would have been no peoples par
ty to-day nor any need of one. But tho
party has departed from those rational
principles and practices, and the editor
of the Republican will find himself
without party if he adheres to such
heresies, unless he fees to the populist
camp.
We may differ, and differ honestly.
| concerning our theories of money, and
concerning the details of correct sys-
| tenn of American finance, but when re-
| publicans are ready TO acknowledge
that the system which their party has
| established and maintained is vicious
one, and that radical change Is neces-
sary; when they are ready to admit
| that we need an American system that
shall be entirely independent of all
other nations, and that it should sup
ply an adequate amount of currency,
there is hope for the people. There
should be no difficulty in getting to-
| gether upon basis of that kind and
| employing the best financial ability in
the land, in formulating the details Of
the new system. (Kan.) Advo-

Ston and Think.

Try and think when and where and
how you became possessed of the idea
that money has or should have an in
trinsic value. Then stop and think
over it. Out of your inner thoughts
you will discover the error. If / gave
you an order on grocer who owed me
for dollars worth of sugar, it would
not be necessary to write it on gold or
silver, weuld it? Any slip of cheap
paper would do, would it not? 1t is not
the gold or silver you want, but what
it buys Money is simply govern
ment order which all the people agree
to accept for what they have to sell.
Can't you get that through your head?
The monopolists are doing their best to
prevent you from understanding it

Prof. Ward says:
'The modern idea is gaining ground
that government is business agency,

The people are beginning to see that
they can appoint agents to conduct

that the danger is not that the govern

TREAT THEM AS COMMODITIES.

Issue Paper Money and Let Gold and Sill

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 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. /
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 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 big bankers are saving them

Some member of the Berean Mission

general birthday reminder. 1t has been
pleasant habit in the Berean Sunday
school TO endeavor 10 recognize in some
graceful way the birthday Of every OIL

endeayor was often frustrated by the
natural modesty OF some Of the intended
recipients and the equally natural for
getfulness Of the other members where

sibility be forgotten, a reminder has just

Her flowing tresses minsling with the play Of

She promenates the hotel porch, and on the

And advcrtises silken hose 10 all aamlring eyes
With reckless Cupid at her back she skirts the

And by the latest rings she wears botrays the

And by the brook the fisherman his scanty luck
