excites panics rather than checks
them. In time of anxiety the
worst thought men can get in their
heads is that credit is unsafe, and
only gold it to be trusted. Acting
on it they ignorantly destroy not
merely credit, but the whole organi-
cation of property. Yet the political
economists, and marvelously still,
practical bankers are foremost in
fostering the gold mania, which is
the weak link in our currency.
A commercial community which
has to live on credit, and cannot live
otherwise if it would, should spare
on effort to keep credit good and
sound. Anything tending to shake
commercial confidence is great
danger, and next to reckless trading
or fnanciering, nothing tends SO
powerfully that way as extravagant
idea of the economic Importance Of
gold. When a panic does come gold
ia not the talisman that cures it. 1t
is remedied by restoring confidence,
and the first step toward that is
generally to show the public that
life is not impossible without gold.
As all auxiliary to paper the precious
metals are still Of the greatest SER
vice, but the day is passed tor them
to be worshipped as the keystone of
the worlds currency.

Bureau Of Information.

The burlington" has recently
established, in convenient quarter
of its elegant and commodious pas
senger station, at Chicago, an Office
designed to afford travellers all in
formation on the thousand and-one
things they need to know with re-
gard to routes, rates, connections
and accommodations. 1t has been
placed in charge of an experienced
man, supplied with all railway
guides, maps and timetables, and is
known as the Bureau of Informa-
ton" 1t is a place to which all
travellers may apply for information
and receive full and correct answer.
This is the only Office of the kind
west OF the sea- board cities, and it
cannot but prove help and cOnve-
nience to the travelling public. All
trains of the Burlington enter and
depart from this station, and the in
telligent and valuable service OF the
bureau may be enjoyed by all pa
irons of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued
by the Burlington in the near future,
giving accurate information as to
"How to Get to the Worlds Fair
Grounds. How to Secure Rooms
and Board at the Various Hotels,
Boarding and Lodging Houses.
Trustworthy agents will be at the
c., B. & @. depot, in Chicago, to
impart all information to visitors.
Arrangements will probably be made
by which some trains will be run d.
rect to the worlds fair grounds
without change or delay.

Republican Testimony.

Speaking of the defeat Of the Re-
publicans last fall, Ex-Governor
Humphrey gives the folio wing testi-
mony. We print this because we
don't want our Republican friends
to forget that they have, in the past,
advocated the white metal--silver :
Where have we really lost In
states where the financial question
was strongest. We lost Kansas,
Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming,
and we lost Illinois and Wisconsin
net on the tariff, but on the silver
and the ideas clustering about that
issue. The fact is, the Republican
party did not keep step with its
traditions on that question, but de-
ferred to the so-called East, which
means the gold ideas. The cry of
an honest dollar is the cry of
the lender of money-and in
his mouth always means the
highest priced dollar to the Dor
rover or user. A dollar Of silver
or a dollar Of paper can be made
just as honest as any other dollar,
and the common sense of the people
knows it. The great bankers and
brokers of Europe, who own all the
governments of the Old World, are
the honest dollar men, because
they can hold the control of one
metal easier than they can of two
and that is where the cat in the
meal lies"

THE dictator of Buszard's Bay,
we are informed, has notified the
senate that the Sherman law must
be repealed. The ex-hangman
should make haste slowly. This
people are now free and will remain
SO. No dictators can or will deter
them from boldly asserting their
rights, aud maintaining them Wet ct
armis, if need be. There is great
difference between firmness and
obstinacy. Cleveland would be
wise to curb the latter.

Paper Money.
[Continued from page 2.]

peaCnaDle, unVary ing value, "H'0"'
in the light of recent experience, VIC
need hardly say is fallacious. The
fundamental idea or credit money is
reasonable, every day security. B
will accept it from A SO long as he
has good ground to believe that G.,
D, E, or F will be equally ready to
accept it from him. Behind this
moral confidence of business men in
each other there requires, of course,
some ultimate security. A paper
token being confessedly valueless
in itself, must represent somthing
which has value ; otherwise it would
have no right to exist. All credit
must have substantial basis, but
that may vary widely in the degree
of it's solubility. A mortgage on
real property may be undisturbed
for years a bill of exchange may
run for three, six or twelve months
a bank note may be convertible at
any moment. These are, however,
only differences of degree not of
kind. Assuming that proportionate
care is exercised, currency can be
as safely built on credit as a mort
gage or bill discounting business.
The one respect in which it falls
short is simultaneous and complete
convertibility, but this condition
we have shown is pious fiction
even in regard to paper secured in
the precious metals. The Bank of
England itself could not redeem all
it's notes at a given moment, and it
were better surely to impress on
people that fact than to repeat u
parrot cry that every bit of paper
money should have all existing
equivalent in gold.
Immediate and absolute convert
Utility is not an indispensable condi-
tion of paper money any more than
it is practicable one. What bet
ter off would people be if in a mo-
ment of financial panic they got all
their notes forthwith turned into gold
or silveri They would have raised
the precious metals to All exhorbitant
value out of all other commodities.
For the sake of getting a useless
store OF gold and silver they would
have ruined every other kind of
property. That is hardly situa-
ton they should be encouraged to
contemplate as che climax and out
come of perfect currency. 1t were
a wiser idea to teach them to look to
paper money only for what is reason
able and practicable 1t should
always represent value--known
value, or at least ascertainable; fair
~ uniform and steady in the mar
ket, or readily negotiable and valid
over the widest possible era. If it

The New Baby.

The turnkey papers are strainine
their gizzards in their mawkist
efforts to write something witty
about the new Cleveland baby
When the Harrisons occupied the
White House, we had doses ad
nauseum about Baby Mchee. Now
we are to be treated to columns
without stint about Baby Ruth and
the new baby, three-fourths ofwhich
is so squamish as to clog the mind
To Cleveland and his wife the new
baby is grand thing, but dollars
to dimes, there are scores of babies
in Kansas just as bright, just as
handsome and fully as dear to tneil
parents as that Cleveland baby, over
which half or more of the old gran.
ny editors have taken the Mysteries,
is to the Cleveland family. The
Cleve!ands have not patent on in
telligent or handsome children, nor
in affection for them. The babies OF
the Patricians and Plebians reach
mother earth in the same manner,
and there is just as great a per cent.
Of babies born to riches and promi
nence as are born to poverty and
want. Shut up about the Cleveland
baby. Give us rest about officials
babies during this administration.
The older old Dan Anthony grows
the meaner he gets. There did re-
main for long time remnant OF
political honor, and for short time
he feebly advocated the cause OF
the people, but he has fearfully fall
en- from grace, and now exerts him
self to villiiy every one identified
with the reform movement in poll
tics. The last dirty fling is at Gov
ernor Lewelling for the pardon of
Clark, one of the murderers Of Mrs.
Wright Clark had but ten days OF
his sentence to serve and pardon
restored him to citizenship, which
old Dan says wa done for his vote.
The Devil could not use meaner
men than the "dear cousins" es-
pecially Dan. In spite of the un-
measured vituperation of the old
idolators, the Populists ale steadily
growing.

Add Annfhor n

Education in the art of bodybuilding
is so much needed and so hard to obtain
that an enthusiastic advocate of the road
reform movement declares that to the
proverbial three Rs there should be add
ed fourth-roads.
The great scientific British roadbuild-
ers, Macadam and Telford, were melted
to their inventions by the pressing needs
OF agriculture and commerce. The fine.
permanent highways which they laid out
took the place of clumsy turnpikes with
heavy tolls, which in their turn had been
preceded by roads so wretched that 200
years ago, it is said, produce was often
allowed to rot in one English village
when in another only 20 miles away
there was actual want.
Somewhat similar as to cause and eff
feet are the well proved facts that in
some parts of THE country farms only
10 miles from large cities are worth but
$25 an acre because of the bad roads
leading to the city markets, while else
where farms 80 miles from a city, but
connected with it by model highways,
are valued at from 5000 to $500 an acre.
In some sections of the country also
it costs a quarter of the price received
for grain to pay for carting it to market
over bad roads.
If the farmers once knew what good
roads could do for them, they would no
longer, as Professor Shaler expresses it,
"wallow in the miro of their ways, pay
excessive tolls-endure, in a word, a

HE wINKED HIS OFF EYE.

cry spring the trail between Yellow
creek and Loran was one wild waste of
sou and sticky mud, so he promptly Of
tered to bet the cigars with the hare that
the latter wouldn't stand half a show
with him In a race between Kleckner's
corner, Yellow Creek, and Fry's corner,
Loran. This tickled the hare immensely.
for he thought it was the biggest bluff
that was ever promulgated by any being
on this terrestrial sphere. But as he had
no particular objection to filing his vest
pocket with good Havanas he snapped
up the offer so quick that the mud turtle,
who was considerable of snapper HIM
self, opened wide his mouth in admira-
ton.
Arrangements were soon perfected for
this grand track event. The contestants
toed the scratch, and the word was given
for them to go. With a few jumps down
the sidewalk the hare was far in the
lead. He turned once to yell back to
the mud turtle, inviting him to start,
but the latter kept in the road and sawed
mud and said nothing. Being in his
natural element, the mud turtle knew he
was all right.
In about six jifies the hare had made
half mile and found himself at the end
OF Main street. Here he had to leave
the dry sidewalk and take to the high
way. Two leaps landed him in the mid
die of the road. He stuck there.
Along about o'clock in the afternoon
the mud turtle came to the spot, and
with plying glance at the hare, sup
plemented by wink of his off eve. he
forged past.
Three weeks later news came that the
turtle had reached the goal slightly dis.
figured, but still very much on the turf,
while the last heard of the hare was that
he was still struggling and calling the
road authorities very bad names.-Good
