The matter of finance. as we'll as in other
matters relating to contraction and ex-
change of wealth, the world Is governed
too much. The only proper function of
government in the coinage of gold and
silver IS to stamp each coin simply to indi-
cate lis weight and fneness, leaving the un-
erring and flexible laws of trade TO deter
mine relative values in the exchange
of gold and silver and to determine

true ratio which free coinage in this coun-

would rather take the risk of experiment

Mr.. Bland and his associates. than to in

would involve the recoinage OF all of our
silver money, and | shall therefore vote

His judgment was against the Wilson bill,
and he would vote against it. Silver had

Walker addressed the House in favor of
the Wilson bill and in advocacy of the un-

ditiOnal repeal OF the Sherman law and
protested against nasty action. Bell ia

MONEY FOR FARMERS.
Weaver Has Solved the Whole
Financial Problem.
What Is Wanted Is a Circulating
Medium That Will Circulate
Only at Home.

MOUNT GRETNA, Pa, Aug. 23-The
largest crowd since the opening of the
National Encampment of the Farmers
Alliance assembled to-day. In the main
auditorium William Benninger advocated
the free coinage of silver, speaking in the
Pennsylvania Dutch language, and he was
followed by j. NJ. Thompson. late lecturer
of the Pennsylvania Farmers Alliance.
When General Weaver of Iowa arose u
deliver his address this afternoon there
were probably 10000 people on the
grounds. he said the situation to-day was
n not caused by the election of Democratic
admin istration. That administration is
still enforcing Republican laws and inter
preting the laws the same as did Harrison.
Such curse could not be brought upon
the country by mere change Of admins
traiiOn, nor was il the result of the
Sherman law. The laws had been vio-
lated.
The Republican Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Democratic Secretary of the
Treasury did not comply With the law.
They paid out gold aud the Secretary OF
the Treasury had aided foreign eonspira-
tors when be had it in his hands to pre-
vent this panic. This was the real cause
of these hard times. Al the close OF the
late war the peope were comparatively
free from debt. and there was more pros
perity then among the farmers of the
North, in spite of the loss of those near
and dear to them. than there had been at
any time since.
The reason Of this prosperity and good
feeling was because there was an immeu Sc
volume Of paper currency in circulation.
The financial system which had contracted
the currency was responsible for the loss
of thousands of homes, innumerable sui
cides and the corruption of the morals of
the people.
As aresult of that crime perpetrated on
our people. from 1866 to 1873. British CAPT.
tai had come in and got control of fac
tories, railroads and finances. Scarcity of
money was what was the matter. When
the farmers come into power. and they are
coming into power. they will give more
money. The farmers will make a dollar
that will stay at home. They don't want
money that will go abroad, aud that is
what is the matter with gold

Governor Osborne of Wyoming has dc
clared that he agrees with the popular
branch of the Legislature of that new state
in advising New York and other states to
cnfranchise women. Wyoming has had
woman suffrage for nearly twenty five
years. and according to her Governor it has
been satisfactory in every way, not
one of the objections made in the East hav-
ing proved true, and great good having
been done in many directions. 1t is stated
in the resolution Of the Legislature that
woman suffrage has almost bani,hed crime
pauperism and vice, secured peaceful ant
orderly elections, and remarkable degree
of civilization and public order. Not one
county has poor house, the nils are nj
cept as committed by strangers IN the state.
1t will not do to smile at Wyoming's al
vising the larger and older state of New
York as an act of Amusing presumption. it
this be true and while tho picture is doubt,
less painted in too rosy colors, we have no
doubt that there is substantial ha-ls of
truth for it. We know, from this states
too limited experience with woman school
trustees and factory inspectors, that they
are very energetic an1 Intelligent students
of public questions when they are inter
est ii, and that their conduct in dealing
with them is emiuently just and practical,
We would doubtless have much better local
government in many of the communities of
this state if the women of New York could
vote.
