SPEAKING OUT.
Many Democratic Papers Advocating an
American Monetary Basis.

Many Democratic Papers Advocating an
American Monetary Basis.
We are glad to note that some of the
leading democratic papers are speaking
out in favor of purely American mon
etary basis. Among them is the st.
Louis Republic, from which we clip the
following:
THE present congress does well
enough to leave coinage legislation
alone, that the coming congress may be
the freer to act-as, of course, it will
act The international conference has
served its turn, and every one now un-
derstands that there is no hope what
ever of agreement between this country
and Europe. 1t may be the honest be-
liefof some that it is unsafe for us to
manage our treasury and our mints on
any other than a European basis, but
the demands of our people and the
eXigencies of our politics will force an
independent American basis, defeating
any administration party that opposes
it.
THE American basis will be that of
bi-metallism, currency of coin and
coin notes. We will never lack gold
enough for international trade and for
the settlement of home contracts which
call for gold payments. Silver and the
coin notes of the treasury will answer
every other purpose in our trade, giving
us a currency which will not admit
either sudden contraction or expansion.
"The financial policies of the leading
nations of Europe are dictated by "a few
great money-lenders like the Roths-
childS 1t is neither necessary nor ex-
pedient that we should accept these
policies In this case, as in a good
many others, it is better to trust the
American people than the fnanciers OF
Europe"

MONETARY SCIENCE.
The Fundamental Principle Upon Which
1t Is Based.

The Fundamental Principle Upon Which
1t is Based.
The great fundamental principle of
monetary science is this:
The value of the money unit (dollar)
depends upon the ratio between the
number of units (dollars) in circulation
and the volume of business to be done
Herewith.
If every piece of metal money in the
United States should be gathered up
and cast into the depths of the sea,
each piece being replaced with piece
oflegal tender paper money of the same
denomination, the ratio between the
volume of money and the volume of
business would remain the same and
values would be unchanged
The term intrinsic value" is often
used in discussions of money. As the
term is used, it means commercial
value of the material out of which the
money is made The word intrinsic
is incorrectly used in this sense and
should be discarded altogether. In
fact the first thing necessary to thor
ough understanding of the money ques
ton is for the mind to fully grasp the
idea that the value Of money, as such
does not in any way depend on the
value of the material of which it il
made.-Lincoln (Neb.) Alliance'Inde

The shorter spear has ninety-eight
teeth, the longer one one hundred.
About the middle of each stick a
curious piece of skin is fastened to the
wood. This skin is as thick as the
stoutest leather and covered with sharp.
white tooth-like projections. No one
connected with the academy knows
what the skin is, as nothing like it has
ever been seen here before. The ex-
hibit is accompanied by a broad, curry
ing band of the same skin, but whether
it is intended as an armor plate or not
nobody seems TO know.

companied by such skirt; the rest of
the costume is unfortunately absent.

The Inauguration of these rates aud
the zone system effected reduction of
rates of from slightly less than 50 per
cent in the case of the shorter dis
tance to within a fraction of so per
cent in distance of 454 miles It was
expected that the increased volume of
travel would compensate for the lower
charges to individuals, and that the
total revenue would be equal to that
received before the reduction in rates.
The results proved that the Hungarian
government was fully justified in its
expectations
The system was first inaugurated in
the summer of 1889, and yet from Jan.
uary 1, 1889, to December 81, 1889, there
were 1907, 200 passengers carried, as
against 5,5S7,7OO for the year 1883, while
the receipts increased from s., ,694, $50 to
81, 1875, $40, net increase of s4S2, 500
thus proving that a reduction in rates
increases rather than diminishes the
revenue receipts and knocking into a
cooked hat the arguments used by the
tools of plutocracy who are organizing
railroad employees into political clubs
for the purpose of antagonizing the
peoples party. Government ownership
and operation of railroads, by reason of
the reduction in rates, would make it
possible for two or three times as many
people to travel and yet so largely in
crease the revenue of the roads as to
make it possible to reduce the hours OF
labor and increase the wages of all rail-
road employees.

months after this event Quanah gath

to investigate. As they approached the
spot it required all their courage to in
duce them to proceed near enough TO
discover the cause of their fright.
They found smoke issuing from the
side of the mountain. They imagined
it to be the abode of the evil spirit, and
approached it cautiously at first, but
