gold and silver nor does it command
him to do anything, Ttsimply recites:
sit being the established policy of the
United States to maintain the two
metals on parity with each other upon
the present legal ratio or such ratio as
may be provided by law"
1t says nothing about the parity be-
tween gold and silver coin. That
parity is established by Legislation
which makes both full legal tender
in payment of all dues, public and
private. 1t declares it TO be the policy
of the United States to maintain the
parity between the two metals, which
can only be done by legislation, and the
only legislation which ever has accom-
plished or ever can accomplish that is
the coinage of silver upon the terms
and conditions which are applicable to
the coinage of gold.
1t is true that it has been the custom
of the Treasury Department, in disre-
gard of the statute, to pay the obliga-
tons of the United States in gold, but
that is no reason why the law ought
not to be obeyed. 1t is not true that
if the so-called $l00,000,000 reserve
fund is intrenched upon, the Secretary
OF the Treasury has power under the
law to issue bonds to replace or increase
the fund. He can only issue bonds,
as before stated, to the extent necessary
to purchase coin (not gold coin) but
either gold or silver coin to redeem the
greenbacks which were outstanding on
the 1st of January, 1879,
1t is high time for the Treasury
Department to observe the laws of the
United States, which are ample to pro-
tect the Treasury and comply with
every obligation of the Government
No other government in the world
manages its finances for the accommo-
dation of spectators in gold. All
obligations of France, the same as those
of the United States are payable in
either gold or silver coin. France will
not pay out gold in large quantities for
export, but answers every demand of
that kind by an offer TO pay in silver.
Germany pursues the same policy.
The Bank of England protects her
gold by favorable rates of exchange and
by an increase of the rate of interest
wheneve. there is an undue export OF
gold. The United States alone has
been made subject to the beck and call
of the money changers by the admin
istration of the Treasury Department,
and not by the legislation of Congress.
The views of bankers published in
the Post indicate that it is beginning
to be understood that Mr.. Carlisle is
Secretary of the Treasury, and not the
agent of the exporters of gold.-SEN-

Since our last issue, affairs in Topeka
haye been simmering down. Mrs.
Lease and Mrs. Diggs and other
straight outs were of course disappoint-
ed in Martins election, but Mrs. Lease
has become Modified and trusts to the
Judgment OF the majority. The repub-
llcans have sent in protest In favor of
Ady, but it will probably be of little
weight. Both houses have become I'M
compromising. The republicans have
given up contesting the appropriation
bills in the courts, and will simply re-
pass them and make them legal, as
they see legal. They are somewhat
added at present and seem to have no
settled plan of procedure.
The poPuliGts are wavering between
the plan of calling on the executive to
Gust the republican house; or adjourn
ing quietly to another hall, rs they do
not care to precipitate violence. Vari-
Gus schemes for settling the difficulty
are devised, but none seem feasible
and the present difference is liable to
continue. An appeal to the people,
will probably be the ultimate solution.

A New Prophet.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ia new prophet has
arisen in our midst, and has sprung at once in
10 popularity. Mr.. Benjamin Rush Daven
port, the welFknown journalist and magazine
writer mas Just completed new book entitled
"Ihe Crime Of Caste in our Country which
mas set everybody to talking filled the news
papers with reviews and criticisms and caused
the dudes, ''chappies," and sham arstocrats,
and also the politicians, to do considerable
hard thinking
Mr.. Davenport is broad man, deep think
er. and forcble writer. He handles his sub
ject without gloves. No wonder the sham
aristoerate. the Would-he " lords and barons,"
are squirming under the with ering sarcasm
and the unwelcome truths he hurls at their
pretensions of superiority over the common
people" The heart of every patriotic Ameri-
can will glow with satisfaction when he reads
the pages of this most remarkable. bold, and
entertaining book, and realizes that the ''com-
mon people have at last champion fearless
enough to dssail the vices aad immaraiities OF
the so-called upper classes, to attack the for
tresses of wealth and monopolIzing trusts"
and to warn the naughty rich in trumpet tones
that the downtrodden poor-the workman at
his bench. the farmer in his feld-cOnstitute

and vast accumulatious of wealth prevented
Mr.. Davenport characterfzes the election of
November s, 1892 as political revolution"
similar to that of 1860, when the "mudsilI'
Abrehsm LINCOLN, Was placed in the Bresiden-
tial chair 10y the power of the common peo-
pie avainst the oligarchy of the South. In
1892 the victory was that of the common peo-
pie" over a new-made sham arstocracy, and
he shows some good reasons for the change

Yrittsn to plead the cause of the 'common
people, to teach them their power; and
shrewd politicians predict that it win have no
small effect upon the result of the Presidential
ele ctton of 1893,
The author demands an equalization of
taxation, and shows how the common people
may enforce such equalization. He shows the
futlity of strikes and the impotence of labor
organizations, ana furnishes plan whereby
the working classes can right their wrongs
without bIoodshed, and cause the would be
''barons to tremble in their shoes. He also
shrewdly points out to the leaders Of the two
great parties, the fact that the peoples party.
or populists, made better showing in 1872
than did the republicans in 1850. And yet, in
1880 came the deuge!
That the Crime ofCaste" has struck pop
ular chord is evidenced by the fact that thu
