Proposed Conaseatio,,.

Asst becomes more and more
apparent that the proposed re-
vision of the tariff will not pro-
duce sufficient revenue to run the
Government, those who are re-
sponsible for the business are
beating about for some device to
supplement the income. And
there are a good many indications
that that most odious of all the
war taxes, the Income tax, will
be resorted to. During the past
sixteen years the proposition of
anincome tax was made five times
in one or the other branches of
Congress, and on each occasion
a majority of the Democratic
members voted in favor of it.
Two members of Mr.. Cleve.
lands present cabinet-Carlisle
and Harbert-were among those
voting in its favor. Leading
Democratic papers in the West
and South advocate an income
tax sufficient to supply any short
age in the revenues under a re.
vised tariff. The st. Louis Re
public says: Ten per cent or
even 5 per cent on the incomes
of such plutocrats as Andrew
Carnegie and William Waldorf
Astor will give gold enough and
to spare
Here is a confession that free
trade. pure and simple, is to be
given the go.by, and confiscation
is to be resorted to as the only
possible relief by this party
afraid of its own platform. Wher
the income tax was resorted tc
meet the extraordinary expenses
of the war these Democratic
inauciers denounce itas ''odious'
and ''un- American" But now,

To THE FARMERS: - While A al"
American Hemp, manufactured by John
T. Bailey 4 Co., Of Philadelphia, Pa, is
our leader because they were the first
large manufacturers of twine to come
out boldly and offered to sell direct
10 the farmers, yet it has been COM
municated to US through friends that
the representatives Of the trust and their
associates have been representing to the
farmers that We could not furnish to the
farmers hard fiber twine, and that our
sales were wholly confined to the sale of
hemp. As contradiction Of this state
ment we make you the following offer
until it is recalled through the columns
Of the Topeka ADVOCATE AND TRIBUNE
and Kansas Farmer:
A 81" American hemp, 91s cents per
pound; white sissl, 81S cents per pound;
standard, S4 icents per pound; manila,
ga cents per pound; pure MANILA, 1O1s
cents per pound. Delivered free board
the cars at Kansas City, Mo.
Now, farmers, if you wish to avail
yourselves Of this offer and rare oppor-
tunity, send in your orders immediately.
Terms the same as quoted heretofore.

Our Chicago Letter.

men smiled as they would at the Vagaries
OF some demented creature. But the
human intellect has annihilRted dis
tance, until one may not only go around
the world in less than eighty days, but
he may come to Chicago about July, or
later, and practically stand still while
the world goes around him, seeing or
learning more in two or three weeks
from this observatory than in many
months or perhaps years Of travel.
The rain has abated and the sun Rctu.
ally shines, and Chicago is in raptures
over q few bright days, while KansanS
draw q long sigh Of intense relief Rs
though just liberated from a dungeon Of
perpetual gloom, wsrily laying aside
oVercosts and umbrellas or letting the
fires burn low. You may almost tell a
Ksnssn at sight in Chicago by the way
he shiVers or growls at the mud as he
realizes for the first time what "sunny
Kansas" means. But the mud has dis
appeared now, and two weeks have
wrought q wonderful transformation at
the fair grounds. The streets are being
improved, grounds sodded, and build
ings put IN order at rapid rate, and if
one did not see so much yet undOne he
might begin to think that the feast was
spread. Extensive preparations for street
railway accommodations are also being
made, and by July Chicago and the ex-
position will undoubtedly be ready to
receive their guests. The grand psno-
rama opened to the bewildered gaze will
be one which eye hath not see1s nor Ian
guage described. Every observer must
bow with solemn reverence before the
wonder and majesty Of the human in
tellect that has sought out 80 many in
yentions, and still more before the
infinite being that created that intellect.
Before the eye will appear the people of
all chimes, from the Esquimaux to the
Zulu; from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
dressing, living and moving as in their
own land; worshipplng their own gods in
their own temples, and sometimes the
degradation and ignorance is so great
that the most philanthropic American
will find it difficult to say, "These are
my brothers"
Not man and his inventors alone will
appear as the canvas turns, but the
earth has been disemboweled and
robbed Of its rarest treasures that he
who will may read the story Of geologic
ages, and the history Of animals and ma
tions that have perished because they
could not accommodate themselves to
shifting conditions or sought not the
truths Of human existence.
A moments rest from scenes and
thoughts like these, and you sport with
the urchins Of the mighty deep, lost in
wonder at the beauty and gorgeousness
Of their animal forests, or look with
longing sppetites at the fishes, on which
you would gladly feast, else turn with
aversion from the ones that would feast
on you. l often wonder when compsr-
ing the different forms Of the sea cres-
ton if it's mammoths and warriors have
not been clssssd as the higher forms be-
cause better known and understood by
men, who, like them, prey upon their fell
lows or fatten upon others flesh, and

The Natura Of Value,


that the chief source Of error in current
monetary discussion is the failure to
comprehend the nature Of value. Be-
cause we compute and contract in terms
OF dollars, the notion arises that dollars
are always the same in value. But not
so. Constitute them as you will, Of q
definite weight Of gold, Of silver or gov
ernment paper, or what not, by no posi-
bility can it's value be fixed so that it
will remain the same. A unit Of length,
Of volume, Of time, etc., can be fixed;
but value in economics, being ratio, a
relation, can never have a unit, or the
value Of any one thing made invariable,
only by making the value Of everything
80, which is, Of course, impossible.
Value is not utility. It is not the ex-
ertion made in the pursuit of game. It
is not muscular strain, or a physical
endurance, or a mental effort or anxiety.
1t does not arise out Of q mans relation
to the soil or any product thereof, or the
labor Of his hands or brain. 1t is social
product entirely. The notion emerges
in thought only as q trade is Contem-
plated. 1t is the estimation Of trading,
men balancing one thing against another
in the market. Value is q commercial
fact, and cannot exist or be conceived
only where swapping is possible. 1t ia
market equivalence. Specifically and
particularly it is the second term in
trade, the first term being the one whose
value you are seeking.
Value, therefore, can take on as
many forms or modes Of expression aa
there are different things to be traded.
Price is that particular form Of value
which is expressed in money. 1t should
be carefully noted that in every trade
the valulng Office is reciprocal. With
wheat at 80 bushel, the bushel tells
the value Of the dollRr-measure the
dollar exactly as the dollar prices the
bushel, and If the market relation
changes to 81 bushel then has the dol
lar as valued in wheat doubled, and the
wheat valued in money hslved.
Now since we are accustomed to sci
money over against all things, We could
not say for such q price, change Of q
single product, that money had fallen
broadly and generally. But suppose we
could show that in large average, an
aggregate, all products had fallen one
half in price, then must we say dollars
had doubled in value.
The fall in the general price range in
all gold standard countries, it is agreed
by all who are competent to speak on
that subject, has since 1873 fallen one
third. That is precisely the same thing
as rise in the value Of the dollar Of so
per cent. A fall of one-third in prices
and rise in the value Of money so per
cent, are only two ways Of stating single
indissoluble fact. Either proposition,
with any one Of competent economic in
telligence, by necessary implication states
both.
Certain feeble-minded professors fancy
that il they can show that this changed
market relation between money on the
one side and all commodities on the
other has been caused by big crops,
by improved machinery, by this, that,
or the other thing, why, then,

and fowls Of the air, the earth with the
fullness thereof, and man with the won
ders of his invention will stand before
you this summer in all stages Of develop
ment; and all this, my friend, has been
collected for you individually. For once
the nations Of the world have forgotten
differences and have joined hands in q
common cause. Each has given Its por-
ton and each man his mite, that all
might be benefited, and. as q result the
smallest giver may receive the full wealth
Of the combined labor Of all; and, like
the measure Of meal, the supply is never
lessened.
Strange that men and nations will read
such lessons as this over and over again
and still plod on in their own little, mar
row ruts, imagining that the only way to
enjoy life is in hiding as much Of it as
possible from their fellows. Each nation
must produce all it consumes, regardless
of soil or climatic conditions; each rail
road must reach all points, each little
town maintain q dozen half-starVed
churches, each farmer own all desirable
machinery, and each lRborer run pri-
vste intelligence Office.
There is one suggestive feature in the
exhibits of the different state buildings
which believe will interest all, and es-
peciRlly Ksnssns, who invariably have
their eyes set at all possible angles
Watching for suggestions. Only few Of
the state buildings are yet open, but
among these are Massachusetts, Pennsyl.
vsnis and q part Of New York. The
heart Of every American swells with
pride as he recalls the record of their
past and quails with fear before them
to day because they control the wealth
and politics Of the nation. But Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, the only two
of those complete, have only past to be
proud Of. Their buildings are elegant
reception rooms, suggestive everywhere
Of ease and luxury, filed with relics and
tributes to their illustrious dead. They
have no present but unlimited wealth. l
half wondered that the walls were not
set in gold dollars in order to represent
this, bat the comparison would doubtless
have been too suggestive to the Rristoc-
rRcy that boasts its illuBtrious blood.
Probably these states with others would
Indignantly resent the assertion that
they are moulding in the tomb of insc-
tion, that at the head Of the tomb stands
glittering monument on which is in
scribed "The Dissipation Of Unlimited
Wealth" while the foot is sealed with an
iron bar on which is written 1.-THE Deg
relation Of Hopeless Poverty" But this
to-day is the true condition Of the lead
ing states that have made our nations
history. Kansas, Nebraska and other
western ststes haYe no history, and on
every hand show only the evidences Of
labor and present development. They
are creating their great men and daring,
illustrionS deeds in this, their period OF
intense struggle and growth, and it takes
not a prophet to tell that they are destined
to lead in revolution as widespread as
the ono which Boston inaugurated. God
grant that tney learn truer methods Of
warfare and that corresponding decay
follow not in its footsteps.

How to Save Money.

Not by buying soap-though "soap''
is good thing to carry elections. Not
by investing in infallible cures for cor.
sumption, or champion eatarrh reme-
dies-thcy are like the Yankee peddler's
razors, "made to SELL" The way to
save money is by the ability 10 know a
good thing when you see it, and take
advantage of it. You can save money
at all times by taking the Burlington
Route for Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas
City, Omaha, Denver and all prominent
points In the west and north west. The
speed of its trains and the certainty of
its connections will save time, and time
is money. The comfort and luxury Of
its equipment will save worry, and the
courteous manners of its employees will
save your temper.

Bro. Britten, of the Edgeley SEN
tinel, was jumped onto by the James
town Capital for opposing political
prohibition or the third party, called
the prohibition party. While we
think that the Sentinel was a little
too outspoken in its articles against
certain leaders Of the prohibition
party, yet at the same time on the
whole it took the right stand. Pro-
hibition is all right, and prohibition
plank was incorporated in the consti-
tuition of North Dakota by the
republican party, and as a conse-
-quence we have constitutional pro-
hibitlon in this state, and if the law
was properly carried out by those
sworn to do their duty, prohibition
would be a success. This third par
ty or prohibition party is in a
measure responsible for the defeat
of the party that stood up for prohi-
bitien in this state-the republican
party, and if these third party cranks
would fall into line and work within
the ranks of the party that has stood
by them all through, prohibition
would be best subserved. Thinking
men all over the country are getting
'awfully tired Of this prohibition par
ty take.
