A GRAVE ERROR.

The Peoples Party Cannot Afford to
Identify Itself with the Waning For
tunes of Metallism.
From the New York Herald clip the
following apparently authentic declar-
alton of the present position and flu
ture policy of the peoples party. It is
to be hoped that the national commit
tee will be guilty of no such blunders
as to commit the party to an advocacy
of and Identification with the waning
fortunes of metallism. If it does, it
will be guilty of very grave error and
retard the progress of the peoples cause
for many years, perhaps for a genera
ton. The Herald says:
George F. Washburn, chairman Of the eastern
division OF the national committee of the peo-
pies party, stated tonight that break in the
silver forces had occurred.
The cause OF the trouble is that some of the
silver producers OF the west are advocating a
compromise measure on ratio of twenty to
one, which the populists claim is an abandon
ment of principle for selfish ends. Mr. Wash
burn said: ''Our tight is for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold on ratio Of
sixtee1 to one, because it Is the money of the
contract on which our bonds were issued, and
any change of the ratio renders the payment Of
these bonds in gold alone. We are fighting Tor

Il Il the Creation Of LAw-Sound WeTd0
from Mr.. Dalfoar.
The most significant utterancss In
the great bimstallic speech made by
Hon. Arthur. Balfour, in London, axe
these:
There are some people who appaR~
emily are Of opinion that legislation
ought to have nothing to do with this
question of the value of the standard.
That is an entire delusion. The very
term legal tender implies that the ten
der is creation of law, and because
the creation Of law the artificial
creation of the community.
l am not asserting that every dis
tinguished political economist is BIZ
metallist; am not asserting that they
would if they could establish double
instead of a single Standard; but no
economist of reputation will lend his
name to the idiotic objections to BIZ
meta11ism which you will see in some
of the daily newspapers = ob5ee-
tions which appear to be founded
on the view that to hold that
stable ratio could be maintained
between silver and gold is something
like holding that value is not deter
mined by the laws of supply and de-
mand or the cost of production, but
that it can be settled by the mere fat
of a government. Those who hold tho
opinions I have lc4ted do not ap-
pear to have realized that as it rests
and must rest with every government
to say what shall be legal tender
within the limits of the state, so tt
must rest with the government to Do
termine what should be the greatest
cost to demand for that which it says
is the legal tender"
This is equivalent to statement that
all money is the creature Of law and
that law determines how much of such
money shall be real value and how
much shall be fiat" Verify! the

NEW ZEALAND.

Hor Marvellous Prosperity Largely the
Result of Improved Methods OF Taxa
ton.
The marvellous prosperity now being
enjoyed by the colony of New Zealand,
under the benedsent rule of the peo-
pies, or labor party, seems to have
been brought about, in great measure,
by an improved system of taxation.
AS nearly as can be ascertained from
available data, they first abolished all
then instituted graded tax upon land,
running from cents upon the 500
upon land worth s25, OOO up to IS cents
on the 500 on land worth $1,000, 900,
with a higher rate upon uncultivated
land. They next instituted a graded
tax upon all incomes above $7So,
with a double rate upon incomes
not the result of labor. Tho
eight-hour law has been rigidly on
forced for more than two years. When
a man gets out of employment he is
given railroad ticket, good over all
roads, with meal and lodging tickets
attached. In New Zealand the people
rule in a government by the people,
for the people. But it took votes to &C.
complish these results. The same re-
suits may be reached here, in the Same
way and by the same means.
And have these socialistic cranks ru-
med their country? Well hardly.
Under the old parties in 1886 the ex-
ports were &c, 600, 900, and in 1890, under
the new government, exports increased
to SO, 500, 900 and in 1892 the figures
were still larger. Irrigating bitches
were constructed so that the exports of
fruit in 1886 of 10000, 900 pounds were
increased to 10000, 900 pounds in 1892.
The present year the colony has 2,57O
factories in operation, turning out
produce to the value of SO, 500, 900
All this has been achieved by the farm
ers' and workingmen's party in law
full manner And the credit of this col
the English colonies. England con-
tinually offers capital, but is invariably
refused, the New Zealanders saying that
they have all and more money than
they want. The present government
is said to be composed of honest men;
no stealing or corrupt measures are oc-
curing. And all of this 50 contrary to
the many Observation-Disclosures
predictions of ruin outright By
thoughtful Englishmen this experience
is looked upon as one of the most inter-
esting social phenomena of modern
times. New Zealand has about 575, 600
inhabitants and is now doing an export
and import business of over SIS, 900, 900.

Thou Art q Jewel Rich and Rare-Is Mr..

Says Ignatius Donnelly, in the st.
Paul Mimi Represen tative:
But men may, by clamoring now
for the demonstration of both gold
and silver, prevent the reconciliation
of silver; and thus the whole would
pass, perhaps forever, under the unlim-
tied dominion of the money power
There is no doubt that both gold and
silver should be discarded, and an in
ternational legal tender paper money
esta blished: but that is a vast reforma-
ton which the world is not yet ready
for-the greater part of mankind has
not yet heard of it. :"
Why 'international'? How strangely
inconsistent it is to claim that silver
can be preserved at parity with gold
at a ratio of Is to 1 and the silver ques-
ton settled by the United States, with
out an international agreement, and at
the same time claim that the United
States cannot divorce her currency sys-
tenn from the metals. gold and silver,
unless foreign nations are willing and
agree to let us do SO. Is Mr.. DonneHy
befogged, as is Mr.. Cleveland, with the
fallacious idea that there is such
thing as international money, under
the present system?
just as in 1S61-2-3 President Lincoln
issued paper money and suspended
specie payments, without asking per-
mission of foreign nations, so can we,
at any time, close our minis to the coin
age of both gold and silver and issue an
inconvertible paper money, for our own
domestic use, without an international
agreement This has been done by

Value to tho GreonbSck.

Nobody who has reflected on the sub
ject for a moment doubts that what
gave "value" or exchangeable power
to the greenback was not the promise
made on it's face, without date, to pay
a dollar, but the inscription on it's back
which declared it legal tender for all
dues and demands, public and private,
except duties on imports. It was q
misfortune to mankind that the words
promise to pay were printed on it,
