Eternal vigilance" is as much
necessity now as it ever was
Money has only statutory value"
so said the supreme court of Iowa.
ALI the value that money has as
money is in the stamp and not in the
material
1t is not enough that we read the
lessons of history. We must learn to
apply them.
Before which shrine are you bow
ing to-day-the golden calf or the
golden rule?
Deeds, not creeds, will take fore
most places in the thoughts of men in
the coming century.-Iowa Farmers
Tribune.
Failures all over the United States
are piling up, and still the administra-
ton continues to redeem silver certif-
Gates with gold. Pile on Mac Duff
Cleveland. We think you'll yell, 'hold,
enough" in 1S96.-Independent Watch
man.
-Demonetize gold, make silver coin
age free and issue few hundred mil
lions of full legal tender greenbacks
and it will teach the gold cranks of this
country lesson on intrinsic value that
they are sadly in need of.-Farmers'
Tribune.
The recent furry in financial
circles resulted in the failure of large
number of business firms as well as
banks-national banks, too. If Uncle
Sans people could catch on to the fact
that this greatest financial" system of
ours is fraud, things would be differ
ent.-Advocate.
The gold dollar is a dishonest dol
lar, because the material from which it
is made is so limited that it can
easily be ''cornered." And so long as
men are dishonest and we are big
enough fools to retain it as the stand
ard of values, men will corner it and
it will continue to be dishonest. Farm
er's Tribune.
Where the demand for an article is
imperative and the quantity limited,
the price will go up and all other things,
as measured by it, will fall in price
How blind to his own interest is the
man who would make medium of ex-
change out of such an article, unless he
was largely interested in the product
Gold is that article. Farmers Tribune.
In the Pennsylvania legislature, re-
Gently, two bills were reported, one APP
propriating $3.50, 900 to increase the eff
fciency of the state militia, and the
other to protect the union label The
first was reported on favOrably by the
committee, and the other tabled with
an unfavorable report. Corporations
got in their work against labor in both
the above cases.-Tacoma Wash. Sun.
The Issue, of New Orleans, the
organ of the laborers Of that city. reads
the unions a lecture on voting, and
tells them that if they mean what they
say in their platforms they should be
found in the industrial legion, the only
semi-secret organization that has for
its purpose the securing at the ballot
box the demands Of the people. Louis
lana will have many legiOns before the
summer is over.
President Cleveland is understood
to be half persuaded to call the pro-
posed extra congress to meet in June,
instead of September. If this pro-
gramme is carried out it is expected
that congress will remain in session I'M
til July and then take a recess until
October, escaping the months of Au.
gust and September, which are usually
the most disageeeable and unhealthy
months in Washington.
The Kansas City Journal is gloating
over the fact that a few stalwart dem.
ocratic papers are springing up in Kan
sas. itfails, however. to tell that the re.
publican Doodle fund is being drawn or
for the grease" with which to run
these papers. The republican party !,
growing very generous in its dying
hour 1t is even supplying the funds
to keep alive one or two pretended pop
ulist papers.-Clay Center Dispatch.
We notice a great many of our ex
changes are abusing the Jews because
they are specializing on the miserieS o.
this country. This is all wrong. The
Jews are not the ruling class of thi,
country. Go to work and change ON
laws; then their trade, that is com
planned of will be gone. The man who
complains all the time, and is not will
ing to vote to help himself, may have
good sense, but he has mighty pool
judgment-Lamar (Mo) Industrial
Union.
We are told that if we enact certain
legislation we will drive capital out O
the country. People seem to think WI
should legislate to invite foreign cap
ital to our shores for investment. w,
have done so. As result the earning.
of that capital must now be exported
to the home of those capitalists. Colo
is the commodity they demand for ex
port; we cannot mine enough gold t
supply that demand. Hence the viz
tual premium on gold.-Pennsylvani;
Farmer
How can we restore the value O
silver? BY free and unlimited coinag,
of silver. England by law establishe.
the price of gold. The bank of England
is compelled to take at that price al
gold offered. That fixes the price o
gold throughout the civilized world
If our government would coin for it
owners all silver delivered at the mint
no owner of silver would sell for les
