Observations.

Bad luck is tile only kind that comes to
people that trust in luck.
Most people are willing to do away with
vices--cf other people.
The man who thinks the world owes him
a living is always in hurry to levy on the
debt.
A load of SORROW doesn't wear one so
much us a swarm Of annoyances.
1t has been said that a fool may ask q
question that wise man cannot answer:
yet both may be better for the question.
An action may be SO clothed as to change
its proper effect on people; with most of
us sugar coated vice seems preferable
to pepper coated virtue.
Few persons understand the cause Of
their own failures. Judging Others affairs
as they do their own, they couldn't tell
why barrel is empty when it has hole
in the bottom. THE Century.

SLAVERY.

There Are More Slaves in the United States
To-day Than There Were in 1861.
There are more slaves to-day in the
United States than ever before. When
Lincoln called for volunteers, 1000, 900
of slaves gave up all their earnings,
above what they must necessarily con-
sumo for food and clothing, to masters.
Let us see how many we have to-day.
The bureau of statistics shows 9, OOO, 900
mortgages in the country, averaging
$3.50, aggregating $4,000, 900, 600. The
annual interest on this amount at Z
per cent. is s2ss, 500. 900, which must be
paid by somebody. If the wealthy pay
part of it direct, they make it off the
laboring class, so the laborer has it to
pay after all The average laborer
cannot count on saving, above the liv-
ing expenses Of his family, more than
Is cents per day, and at this rate it will
take all the saving Of 8, 900, 900 men to
pay the annual interest on these mort
cages. Since at least five persons con-
stitute the family Of each one of these
men it means that $4,000, 900 of people
are to be restricted to the barest nee.
essities of ife in order to meet the de-
mands Of this mortgage system. A
million Of the best sons of America
died or received wounds that slavery
might be eradicated from our country,
and eighteen million wage slaves still
struggle under hard masters in this
land of the free.-Mount Vernon Gil

issue money to Uncle Sam--and that
money will be just as good if made Of

The intrinsic or. commodity value of
the metal in $40 coin has nothing to
do with it's debt-paying or purchasing
power. If the gold-bugs don't believe
it, demonetize gold and prove it to

pose of enabling sharks to bring on
panic when they see fit, to line their
Golfers at the expense of the people.
Nor do we believe in basing money
on debt government or other bonds),
for that necessitates debt.
If it had not been for the machination
and tinkering of the national bankers
there would not be United States gov
eminent bond in existence to-day-nor
would any have been issued.
The government issued greenbacks
during the war and snapped its interest
bearing notes (bonds) for its non-in-
teaest-bearing notes(greenbacks). And
that's the way the government got
money to carry on the war! Gold went
into hiding, and not soldier received
it after the first pay-day.-Chicago Free

CRAZY QUILT CURRENCY.

Ten Kinds of Money, No Two of Them of
the Same Legal Status.
The complex character of our circu-
lation will be more fully understood by
considering the qualities impaired by
law to each of its constituent parts.
1. The gold coins of the United States
are full legal tender to any amount
when of standard weight; if below the
standard weight they are legal tender
at valuation in proportion to their &C
tual weight.
2. Standard silver dollars are legal
tender to any amount, except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract.
8. The subsidiary silver coin are legal
tender to the amount of SO; they are
redeemable in lawful money by the
treasurer or any assistant treasurer of
the United States, when presented in
sums of $40 or multiples thereof
4. Minor coins are legal tender to the
amount of twenty-five cents; they also
are redeemable in lawful money if pre-
sented in sums of not less than $40.
5. United States notes were made q
legal tender by the acts authorizing
their issue, except for duties on imports
and for payment of interest on the pub
lie debt Since the resumption of specie
payments on January 1, 1879, they have
been received for duties on imports.
They are redeemable in gold or silver
coin at the Office of the assistant
treasurer of the United States at New
York. if presented in sums of not less
than $50.
6. The treasury notes issued in pay
ment for silver bullion purchased under
the act of July IA, 1890, are full legal
tender except when otherwise expressly
stipulated in the contract; they are re-
deemable in gold or silver coin at tho
discretion of the secretary of the treas
ury. 1t has been the policy of the de-
partment to redeem them in gold coin
It so demanded by the holder.
2. Gold and silver certificates are re-
ceivable for customs duties, taxes and
all public dues; they represent the
kind of coin deposited and reserved in
the treasury for their redemption. they
are not made legal tender by the acts
OF congress authorizing their issue.
/. 8. Currency certificates are issued
upon the deposit of United States notes
in sums Of SIC, 900 and are made pay
able to order of the depositors; they
are redeemed in the kind of money do
posted and are not legal tendar.

The Reason Given.

We are often asked what reason we
have for believing that the peoples
party will do more for the laborer than
either of the old parties. The reason
is that the peoples party rests on the
hypothesis that the worlds wealth
should belong to the producers of it,
while the old parties have always acted
on the theory that wealth belongs to
those who are possessed of cunning
enough to accumulate it, regardless of
whether they accumulate it or not.
The peoples party rests on natural
rights; the old parties on special priv
leges.-National Spectator

INTRINSIC VALUE.
The Present Value Of Gold IL Not Intrinsic
But Arbitrary and Fictitious.

The Present Value of Gold Is Not Intrinsic
But Arbitrary and Fictitious.
When money changers" invent ar
guments to defend their system OF
plumber, and subsidize writer's to give
them rational import, the student of
finance and political economy can afford
to smile, but when person, apparently
honest, openly defends the metallic SUI
perstition Of single gold standard in
the latter quarter of the nineteenth
century, and that, too, with an ability
and spirit deserving of better cause,
the very gods (if there are any, must
weep in despair.
Ellen B. Dietrich, in the issue of June
l, dwells upon the intrinsic value of
gold and says: "There is no objection
to promises to pay restricted to the ex-
tent of solid ability to pay"
Pay what! intrinsic value?
If SO, gold possessing no intrinsic
value whatever has no ''solid ability"
to pay. It has commodity and none
tary values, separate and distinct, but
intrinsic value, none. Do you mean
pay wealth?
If so, gold has not, even with it's COM
bined monetary and commercial values,
the solid ability, by virtue of it's limita-
ton, to pay one-tenth of the worlds
obligations. There are thousands who
never see gold dollar or it's represent
alive, yet who produce wealth in corn,
potatoes, clothing, ETC., each and all
exchangeable through money princi-
pally, and such is my dislike for
gold I never take it except >un-
der protest, and if the thing were
boycotted universally it would
have neither monetary or commercial
value except to dentists or jewelers.. I
have no desire to bring in any side is
sues, such as wages, pint measures, or
the like; but have dealt with one
point only, intrinsic value. Those
properties which sustain life-sun-
shine, water and air-have no CONNER
cial value because of their abundance.
Their value is, therefore, intrinsic ex.
clusively. The value of gold is ficti-
tious monetary value, which, when de-
stroyed, reduces the metal to COM
modify less valuable than many other
metals. Gold plays the part of watered
stock in the worlds markets, and it is
only a question of common sense when
the people will repudiate, Or rather,
demonetize all metals.-J. C. Harmon,
in Twentieth Century.

PROSPEROUS (7) INDIANA.
She Raises No Cotton, but Is Heavily Mort.
gaged just the Same.


gagged just the Same.
Indiana is not as much in debt as
some of her neighboring states, but the
official mortgage record shows that it
is time for her people to call a halt.
The geographical situation of the state,
soil, climate, her network of railroads,
great cities in the state and near by,
ought to make increasing prosperity
instead of rapidly increasing indebted
ness. The per capita Indebtedness is
$51, which is a better showing than
made by Illinois with 500; Iowa, s1O4;
Kansas, s17O per capita debts.
In 1880 Indiana had mortgages to
the amount of s21, $50, 1885, In 1889,
$37, 494, 412 worth of mortgages were
recorded. The increase for the ten
years was 1894 per cent, while the
population only increased 1882 per
cent. During the ten yeaps s5s,9s7
mortgages were made, aggregating
1884, 1O4, O44. OF this amount 64.23 per
cent. was on farms, and 1851 per cent.
on town property. The average rate Of
interest is about 80 per cent.
On the first of January, 1890, the to-
tai real estate mortgage Indebtedness
of thee state fvas, s11o, 73o,643. Hence
the people OF Indiana are little over
twenty-three times as much in debt, &C
cordipg to the real estate Indebtedness,
as the people of South Carolina. The
population of Indiana is larger than that
of South Carolina, but that still leaves
Indiana many times as much in debt.
Not pound of cotton is raised in In

argument against the theory that
cotton-raising is the trouble in the
