PARITY.

When a hundred-dollar coin note is
presented for redemption it would be
maintaining the parity between gold
and silver as legal tender coin to pay
out $50 in silver and $50 in gold. It
would be maintaining the parity of the
metals in another way to assert the po-
tency of silver as lawful money of final
account by paying it out to check the
raids on the gold reserve. But these
thinge are not done because it is de-
sired to avoid recognizing silver as
standard money of final account on a
par with gold for use in all settlements.
The law says it shall be so recognized,
but the spirit of the law is nulliied,
and silver is degraded to mere coun-
ter, not considered fit at the treasury
to be paid out on silver bullion notes
no, not even at the rate of one silver
dollar in the ninety-nine Of gold.-St.

WE MUST. VOTE OUT.

The Ballot Is Mightier Than the Sword,
and the Offspring of che An-Powerful
Pen.
The questions now confronting the
American people must be solved by So
Der reflection. We do not need hot
headed passion so much as intelligent
thought.
We want to win people by reason,
not prejudice. Hence all talk of any
labor war is ill-advised If bloodshed
unfortunately should come in the
course of the industrial revolution, let
it be brought about by the plutocracy.
Education is the ''open sesame" of
our movement-the magical word
which will throw back the gates upon
the road to the new era.
The ballot is the most powerful
weapon ever put into the hands of the
people. 1t is more powerful than the
sword. 1t is more powerful than the
torch. 1t is more powerful than the
dynamite bomb. And by it's intelligent
use we must solve the problems which
now confront us.
We must draw men to the new ideas,
not frighten them by wild utterances.
The way to get out of our difficulties is
to ''vote out ALLIANCE Independent.

GOLD-BUGS ARE A BAD LOT.

Men Who Vote with Them Are Fools
for Their Folly.
The daily press of the country is
owned by the gold-bugs.
Nearly all the big papers are owned
by the gold-bugs.
The leaders of the republican party
are owned by the gold-bugs.
The leaders of the democratic party
are owned by the gold-bugs
Populists are foolish if owned by the
gold-bugs.
Can any one tell what benefit has
been derived from the gold-bugs?
Who is responsible for the ruined and
wrecked business and stagnation of
every industry? The men who have
voted with and for the gold-bugs.
Well, now say what interest have you
in the gold-bugs any way?
Is this a free country? If it is, why
not let the people who want gold money
have it, and let those who want silver
and greenbacks have them?
The populists want plenty of money
to make times good, the gold-bugs have
better times when money is scarce.
Why? Because the dollar will buy
much more, you know. In other words,
it takes more bushels of wheat or
pounds of cotton or any other products
of labor to buy dollar.-Oberlin (Kan.)

A RELIC OF BARBARISM.
The Idea That Money Must Necessaril,

The Idea That Money Must Necessarily
Possess Intrinsic Value.
Why do people insist on believing
the old barbarous idea that only metal
can be made real money? Did you ever
have paper dollar that your creditor
would not gladly accept at face value?
We can easily see why the plutocrats
want to perpetuate that idea, for by it
they intend to enslave the world; but
why common, everyday people should
cling to it, we cannot see. The miner
labors all day and at night receives
q coin dollar. He has received the paw
for his work, and further than
that his labor is lost He has
dug dollar out of the
ground, but he has paid for
it with his labor and the country is no
weather.. If he had labored a day on
public improvements and the govern
ment had made a paper dollar to pay
him, he would be as well of, and the
people would be days work richer.
The government also makes a slight
distinction in favor of paper money.
When worn out specie dollar is re-
turned to the United States mint it is
received at it's weight and the last man
handling loses the loss by wear. When
a worn out paper dollar is returned to
the treasury new one is issued in it's
place without loss to the last holder
Still the people cling to their metal

Very Plain.

Not since the panic of rs have so
many banks and business enterprises
failed as during the past three months.
To any intelligent man, whose mind is
not cloudei by partisan bias, the cause
of this is very apparent There is not
enough money in circulation, and the
dread of an almost certain lessening of
the present amount has led those who
have money to hoard it, to force collec-
tions from their debtors and to stop
loaning. There can be no credit with
out some money. Lessen the money
and you lessen credit-take away all
the money and there is no credit. AS
only eight per cent. of the great volume
of business is done with actual cash a
very little more of Wall streets con-
traction policy will precipitate a ma
tional panic-Exchange

DEFICIT IN whEAT.

Half Way Between the Extremes Places
the Deficit at Ono Hundred and Fifty
Million Bushels.
While the price of wheat in Chicago
is at its lowest point in thirty years
and farmers are correspondingly de-
pressed, it is interesting to note that
the best authorities estimate that for
the world at large there will be big
deficit in the wheat crop this year.
The report of the department of ag-
riculture for May renders it reasonably
certain that the American wheat crop
will be below the average Of the years
of 10000, or less than $50, 600, 900
bushels. This will be true even should
the remainder of the season be so fav-
orable as to insure a yield of spring
wheat quite up to the average. The
winter wheat has received irreparable
injury and will afford a very meager
harvest in the more important states.
The New York Sun has printed an ex-
haustive review of the crop prospects
of the world and the estimated demands
for wheat, based upon the most reliable
data, and concludes that existing con-
ditions indicate that the following is
the most optimistic view of the situa-
ton permissible:
European requirements, 1,4OO, 600, 900;
product of average European harvest,
1880, OOO,O 900; possible American export,
126, 900, 600; possible Indian export, 49,
600, 900, total, 1896, 900, 600 bushels.
Deficit, 100000 bushels.
A pessimistic representation, based
upon estimates of a minimum European
crop or an American crop no greater
than that of 1885, or 357, 100000 bushels
would be this:
European requirements, 1,4OO, 900, 900;
minimum European harvest, 1,147, OO0,-
900; American exports, 10000, 900; Indian
exports, 4O,OOO,O 900; total. 1887, 900, 900
bushels. Pessimistic deficit, 23S, 900, 900
bushels.
Those inclined neither to optimism
nor the opposite might find a safe posi-
ton midway between these extremes.
Mystic Ga. Breeze.
Note the fact that India, for the
year 1884, will be able to export 49,
600, 900 bushels. For the year 1S9O-91
India exported Sc, 100000 bushels, and
she exported 81, 1872, 900 bushels in 1891

culean efforts to shift the responsibility
of the business failures now of daily
occurrence entirely to democratic
shoulders simply because of their great
increase just at the present time. The
Leavenworth Times, of May %, in one
of it's sage editorial paragraphs, has
this to say:
There is feeling that the admins
tration of Mr.. Cleveland is not safe
one. That he has theories which he is
determined to test, though the country
may suffer- Add to this the fact that
his party, new to the government now,
and composed largely of men of wild
theories is to shape the financial
policy of the immediate future, and
there can be no wonder that business
men are trimming their sales for rough
seas. We hope the clouds will roll
by without the threatened storm, but
they certainly look lowering now'
Had Mr.. Cleveland made any depart
ure from the policy steadily pursued by
his predecessor Cncro m1gnU DE pre-
text for the charge that the increase of
failures is consequence Of such de-
parture; but we defy the Times to point
out any Indication of such change. The
simple fact is the influences that have
been at work for years under repub-
lican administration are now culminat-
ing in financial crisis that is as I'M
necessary as it is disastrous.
True, Mr.. Cleveland might possibly
have averted the catastrophe if he had
possessed the honesty and the courage
to do so, but he could only have done
it by reversing instead of pursuing the
policy of his republican predecessors
The responsibility cannot be SO easily
shifted People are not only reading,
but thinking, in these days ahd they
will hold both the republican and the
democratic parties responsible for their
full share in their great crime against
humanity. They are both sausage

countries of the world. In this con-

midas wheat exports are rapidly in
creasing, the official figures for the
year 1890-01 being given as Sc, $780, 600
bushels; for the year 1S91-92 at "a, 1884,

One of the inexplicable mysteries
the table reveals, is the difference be-
tween wheat prices in England and the
New York prices, plus freight to Liver
pool, there being an unaccounted for
balance of 40 cents per bushel.

1t may be that Mr.. Watson does not
read the St. Louis Republic, which is
continuously dealing the goldolators
telling blows. The Clay Center (Kan-)
Dispatch says:
'When the Dispatch makes a mistake
or does anybody an injustice it is al
ways ready to correct the same as soon
as it becomes known. Two weeks ago
it was stated in these columns that Col.
Jones had been removed from the edi-
torial management of the st. Louis
Republic. The conclusion was drawn
that his removal would result in a
change of policy on the part of the pa
per; that, while it had been a bold
defender of the people it would now
become a powerful advocate of Wall
street and gold-bugism. We are glad
to be able to say that there has been no
change in the paper so far. 1t contin-

that the true value of the rupee (165

Now, the theory entertained and

that the price of bushel of wheat in
the United States will be found to be
precisely the gold cost of a bushel of
wheat in India, plus the freight from
India to Liverpool, minus the freight
from New York to Liverpool. But, as
it will be seen, the statistical facts do
not quite agree with the theory. And

should, when it is remembered what a
