A RELIC OF BARBARISM.
The Idea That Money Must Necessarily
Possess Infrinsic yalue

The idea That Money Must Necessarily
Possess Intrinsic Value.
Why do people insist on believing
the old barbarous idea that only metal
can be made real money? Did you ever
have paper dollar that your creditor
would not gladly accept at face value?
We can easily see why the plutocrats
want to perpetuate that idea, for by it
they intend to enslave the world but
why common. everyday people should
cling to it, we cannot see. The miner
labors all day and at night receives
a coin dollar. He has received the pay
for his work, and further than
that his labor is lost. He has
dug dollar out of the
ground, but he has paid for
it with his labor and the country is no
wealthier If he had labored day on
public improvements and the govern
ment had made paper dollar to pay
him, he would be as well off. and the
people would be a days work richer
The government also makes a slight
distinction in favor of paper money.
When worn out specie dollar is re-
turned to the United States mint il is
received at its weight and the last man
handling loses the loss by wear. When
worn out paper dollar is returned to
the treasury a new one is issued in its
place without loss to the last holder
Still the people cling to their metal

GEORGE c. WARD.
THEY SOWED THE WIND.

Republicans Did l. Democrats Added to
the Breeze and They Are Now Reaping
the WhirIwind.
Republican editors are making her
culean efforts to shift the responsibility
of the business failures now of daily
occurrence entirely to democratic
shoulders simply because of their great
increase just at the present time. The
Leavenworth Times, of May 2s. in one
of it's sage editorial paragraphs, has
this to say:
There is feeling that the admins
tration of Mr.. Cleveland is not a safe
one. That he has theories which he is
determined to test, though the country
may suffer. Add to this the fact that
his party, new to the government now,
and composed largely of men of wild
theories, is to shape the financial
policy of the immediate future, and
there can be no wonder that business
men are trimming their sales for rough
seas. We hope the clouds will roll
by without the threatened storm. but
they certainly look lowering now"
Had Mr.. Cleveland made any depart
ure from the policy steadily pursued by
his predecessor, there might be pre-
text for the charge that the increase Of
failures is a consequence of such de-
parture; but we defy the Times to point
out any indication of such change. The
simple fact is the influences that have
been at work for years under repub-
lican administration are now culminat-
ing in financial crisis that is as un-
necessary as it is disastrous
True, Mr.. Cleveland might possibly
have averted the catastrophe if he had
possessed the honesty and the courage
to do so, but he could only have done
it by reversing instead of pursuing the
policy of his republican predecessors
The responsibility cannot be so easily
shifted. People are not only reading,
but thinking. in these days ahd they
will hold both the republican and the
democratic parties responsible for their
full share in their great crime against
humanity. They are both sausage
from the same dog" There is no differ
ence in the havor.-Topeka (Kan.) Ad-

The People Are Generally Healthy and

With Canadian, as with an English

that portion of Canada known as On

tions Of from 10000 to 30, 600 inhabi-
tantk In any of these towns a large
and handsomely built brick or stone

of ten or twelve people, may be bought
for about $4,000 or rented for about
$500 year Living. too is cheap The

Almost all these delightful Canadian
homes have vegeta BILE gardens attached,
and quite picturesque many of them
are, with nicely kept paths bordered
with English daisies and old-fashioned
pinks dividing the beds of early vegeta-
bles and rows of small fruit trees and
currant and gooseberry bushes In the
autumn the mistress of the house
will show you with great pride her
well-6lled preserve cellar with jams
and jellies and pickles enough to make
New England housewife jealous and
ruin the digestion of any less robust
people. Most Canadian women are
good housekeepers; girls are taught
housekeeping as part of refined edu-
cation, and mother who allowed her
daughters to grow up without this
knowledge and its practical and eco
nomic working would be considered re-
miss in her duty. The wealth or social
standing of the family does not in
fiuence this matter in the least In
large families the grown-up daughters
take charge of the younger ones, over
seeing their lessons and general de-
portment In this way the family ties
are kept very closely united; the mother
and the older girls have SO much united
interest in the children" and the lit
tie ones instinctively look to their elder
sisters for example and encouragement.
Canadians are remarkably healthy
people, probably owing to their good
climate and love of outdoor life The
children are robust and sturdy and
make pleasing picture in winter in
their brightly colored blanket coats
and caps defying cold and snow. Occa-
sionauy ears and toes get frosted, but
a vigorous rubbing with snow will
soon restore the nipped members to
life, and on they go as merrily as ever
with skates and sleds, deeply resenting
winter with little snow and mo fun. -
