SOMETHING ABOUT MONEY.

AS a great deal is being said in
this country about the necessity Of
having more money, the following
from Harper's Weekly, which is a
clear statementO of the Eastern idea,
will afford some food for thought
on the subject:
Our Populist will say that this talk
about the intrinsic value ofmoney is very
foolish, inasmuch as the Government
fixes the value of money by law, and that
when it declares a silver dollar to be as
good as gold dollar, it is so. This may
be taken as true on one very essential
condition. If the Government declares
silver dollar of the present weight and
treness to be as good as gold dollar of
the present weight and fneness, and
couples with this declaration the prom
Use, and makes good the promise, of ex.
changing gold dollar for silver dollar,
on demand, or of accepting silver dollars
in payment and paying out gold dollars
when wanted, then the silver dollar will
pass for as good as gold dollar. But
as soon as the Government withdraws
that promise, or shows itself unable to
fulfill that promise, or even causes an
apprehension that in the future it will
not be able to fulfill it, then people will
no longer look upon the two metals as
equals in value at the ratio fixed by law
they will be irresistibly moved toinquire
how much the quantity OF silver contain
ed in the silver dollar is worth in the
market, and if they find it to be less than
a gold dollars worth, then they will keep
hold of the gold dollars and stow them
away, and the foreign creditor OF invest,
or will draw as many out of the country
as he can. In other words, gold money
will go out Of circulation, and the guam
tity of current money will be decreased
not only to that extent, but good dea,
more; for when the paper dollar which
was redeemable in gold is redeemablt
only in silver, it will represent less value
it will buy less; and the same quantity
of it, therefore, will not be sufficient fol
, the same amount of business for which
it was sufficient before. Thus it hap
pens that the issuing by the Government
of more money" of the cheap variet,
actually results in less money for the us,
Of the people.
OF course when Congress get
} down to business in the matter o
: considering the currency question
: it will do what is for the best in
: terests Of the people. 1t is not 70
the interests Of the people that the,
, adopt the single gold standard o
: money.

SPEAKER CRISP is very much in
favor Of a speedy reform of the
tariff. Whatever may be the result
as to financial legislation, Congress
is sure to repeal those provisions of
the Mckinley law which increase
the cost Of necessaries and impose
unjust taxes upon the consumers.
Sugar, tea, and coffee must go on
the free list, and the outrageous
duty upon clothing, tin-ware, hard
ware and other necessaries must be

upon such methods, which they re-

The cause Of the present trouble
in Colorado can be explained in a
few words. The recent silver con-
vention in that State threatened to
repudiate all obligations; Eastern
creditors lost faith in Colorado and
refused to advance funds when call
ed upon; then business failures and
bank disasters followed in ali parts
Of the State. It is a significant il
lustration Of the power of the mon
ey ring and it's menace to the free
institutions of our Government.

PArRoNIzg HOME INDUSTRIES.

the large and small industries in

you want perhaps at little trouble

less the cost Of transportation here
at home. The spirit Of home en-
couragementis the elixir Of life that
sends the blood coursing through
the arteries Of trade. This is what
has built up the industries of the
East. and is the sign by which we
conquer and succeed as a people
and as community.
It is not necessary to send else
where for any of the products Of the
farm in this climate, and there are
few Of the ordinary necessaries and
commodities in general use that can
not be produced right here in our
own county. A home demand for
wheat, potatoes, fruits, vegetables,
ETC., would soon be met when our
farmers are convinced that they can
market their surplus products, less
the cost Of transportation, which
would be quite an item saved. A
canning factory would stimulate
enterprise in this direction.
It would not be necessary to send
elsewhere for the wheat, -four and
bran now annually consumed in the
county if some Of our men of means
would wake up and organize a stock
company to put in the machinery
for a good Touring mill. Then by
and by, when the demand stimulat-
ed our farmers to grow more wheat,
we could make a surplus of -four,
ETC., for shipment to other markets
This would bring more money into
the county which would increase
our circulating medium, stimulate
trade and business, and encourage
home enterprise.

L
out the French republic. The farm land
of this section has been on the increase
along with the development of good
roads. These illustrations could be par
nlleled wherever road improvement has
been practically considered.
With us the greatest attention and
skill have been addressed to railroads I'M
Ill it is found that barrel Of. apples or a
sack of wheat can be carried from the
far west TO the market in the east at a
rost not exceeding the delivery of the
kame articles from many of our farms to
the nearest market The result of this
has been that those who have depended
largely on the railroads have been bene-
fitted and have become wealthy, and that
the farmers, so much of whose energy has
been wasted through the struggle over
bad roads. certainly have not gained in
wealth in proportion to other branches
If industry
The price of wheat is not made by the
rost of marketing it in America. 1t is
safe 10 say that the price of wheat is
made in Liverpool The price of our
surplus is fixed in that market. The
farmers have to compete with the world
Ia wheat raising The price of the sur
lus which we send to. Liverpool and
bther foreign markets fixes the price
with us. SO that IN the end we of Amer
lea have to compete with all the condi-
fions and elements of the cost of produc-
ton which exist in other sections. If
the countries which are furnishing the
English markets with wheat have better
roads than we. they can underbid us in
selling wheat We of America, who
Kpend so much time and energy. so much
ability. in getting our grains and other
foreign products. are suffering IN com
parison with others who operate under
more advantageous circumstances.
If the press Of the country impress the
farmers as class that they are TO be
individually benefited by good roads.
there will in time come about an inn
preston. if expenditures be properly and
honestly made. that the payment of a
road tax is in the nature of an invest
.nent which advances the value of all
property along the line Of improved
roads. So much money has been ex-
pended in roads improperly cared for
that many of us look upon such expendi-
lures as a waste Our public officers
have not yet learned that the way TO
have good roads is to take care Of bad
loads. We must know that all good
Dads become bad roads if neglected and
hat all bad roads become good roads if

vERMoNT.s BUILDING.


One of the Most Unique Structures st
jackson Park.
The Vermont state building is one
of the most unique and original on the
exposition grounds. On the right and
left of the steps on the facade rise two
shafts. on which are allegorical figures
representing the industries of agri-
culture and quarrying-t two prin-
cipal industrial activities of the state.
One enters through columned portico
into a courtyard, on the right and left
of which are covered porehes with
broad seats. Just off these are the re-
ception rooms in front, and committee
rooms, post Office, etc, in the rear. In
the center of the court is a handsome
marble fountain. Marble from the
quarries of the state is used all through
the interior of the building. Facing
the end of the court is a porch, sup
ported by four caryatids, over which Is
