Jerry simpsons Prediction.

Congressman Jerry Simpson, leader
Of the populist members in the house,
takes a great deal of satisfaction out
Of the embarrassing situation in which
the two old parties find themselves.
Simpson said of the situation:
at is my opinion that the Sherman
law will be repealed only on condition
that we have free coinage at ratio
Of to %. or may be less, which | pre-
sumo Cleveland Will veto. Now, as to
the effect on political parties, it is
difficult at present to forecast with
any accuracy. One thing seems GER
tain: that is, the democratic party is
gOin to divide on this money question,
which | think will eventually land the
free coinage men in the peoples party.
Now this revolution has started there
is no telling where it will stop, surely
not short Of a complete reorganization
of political parties, and the adoption
of sweeping reform in our financial
system. The number of unemployed
is increasing at a rate of thousands
daily, and it is likely that half the
laboring class will be out of work be-
fore winter is upon us, and agriculture
alistS will find themselves without a
market for their products, all of which
will set them thinking, and as sure as
fate, if they once start to reason the
thing out, it means the annihilati0n
of one or the other of the old parties,
for they will be held responsible for
the ills the people suffer"

Decided in Favor of Batterton,

A special to the ArguS-Lcadcr says
that decision has just been rendered
by Judge Andrews upon the report Of
Referee CrOfoOt in the case Of }. j.
BattertOn plaintiff and contestant, VS..
Burt Fuller, editor Of the Summit
Signal. defendant and COnteSteC. The
referee found in favor of the contest
ant, BattertOn, and Judge Andrews
has accepted and confirmed his report.
As will be remembered this is the
county Judge contest from Roberts
county. Burt Fuller, republican, re-
ceived a majority of siXty-eight votes,
but his election was contested by the
independent, BattertOn, on the ground
that Fuller was not 'learned in the
law" The constitution of South
Dakota provides that person to be
qualified to hold the Office of county
Judge in South Dakota must be
learned in the law. In the decision
Judge Andrews does not hold that a
county Judge must be admitted to the
bar or be a practicing attorney, but
he does hold that county judi &c must
possess such knowledge, and that Mr..
Fuller did possess such knowledge,
but did show that he did not. "A
strong pressure was brought to bear
to have the decision in this case for
the republican, but political prefer
ment has not been allowed to inter
fere with a judicial determination.
When two such eminent jurists as
Judge Crofoot and Judge Andrews
have once decided as they have, there
certainty must be some good law in
the decision. 1t is understood the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court.

Fusion will Lose Them Votes.

The independent judicial convention
nominated Thomas d. BOuCk Of Grant
county for Judge OF the third Judicial
district. The democratic convention,
after a merry war among themselves,
decided by close vote to endorse Mr..
Bouck. Thus do the independent and
democratic conventions order fusion,
but the individual members OF the
two parties will doubtless use their
own discretion about following the
mandates of the dictators. Judge
Andrews will poll big independent
vote, regardless of the fusion-lroquols

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Opinions of Distinguished University
Professors of Political and Econ

Chancellor Garfield, University of
Nebraska:
All action must be experimental.
At present there is no doubt in my
own mind of the wisdom and desir-
ability of repeating the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman act. / think
this might safely be accomplished by
re-coinage and practical free coinage
of silver, at, say, twenty to one.
Then wait awhile, to Study results.
Unquestionably gold has appreciate

much can scarcely be determined.
Unquestionably, also, part of the pos
sible depreciation of silver is artificial

determined. Holding gold as the
Standard-the twO-fOOt rule-the

Professor Mayo-Smith of Columbia

Professor Mayo-Smith of Columbia
College:
The present situation shows that
bimetallism is impossible. 1t shows,
also, that free coinage of silver would
bring about most disastrous panic.
The present stringency ought TO con-
vince business men that credit is more
important than money. The lesson
has been. that we want in this cOun-
try not merely standard, but the
highest standard-i. e., one that Will
command the uttermOst confidence
throughout all the world, so that
whatever happens, there shall not be
the slightest shadow of a doubt as TO
the credit and financial standing or
the United States. In comparison
with the enormous business interests
involved in this, the question, or the
marketing of our silver product, OF
the gradual appreciation of gold ana
even of loss to the debtor class by such
appreclation of the standard of defer
red payments, become comparatively
unimportant.
Distracted by the cries of those who
thought themselves possible Vlctlms
of mOnomentallism we have, perhaps,
paid too little attention to the preser-
vation of that elusive vital force which
Is the heart of all monetary systems,
confidence. The present experience
should result not only in the repeal OF
the Sherman bill, but in the remodel
ing of the national banking system,
SO . as to provide uniform national
currency, safe and, at the same time,
elastic. The concession of the mis-
takes of the past should consist
merely in the permanent retention
of the silver in the possession or the
Government. to be used for subsidiary
coins. with limited legal tender power,
and the retention of the present treas
ury notes as part of our circulating
medium. The first is simply to pre-
vent the entire demoralization OF the
market for silver: the second is to
meet the cry that the government Is
contracting the currency. Botn WIN

Repeal both the silver purchase and

the present standard or in silver
bullion at it's market value. Gold will

Then establish an elastic currency on

Appoint a National Monetary Com
mission representing different inter

Let the commission establish price
barometer to determine the tlunCtua-
tionS of general prices. When prices
fall let them expand the currency,
when they rise let them contract. TO
expand they can buy silver bullion and
issue legal tender bullion notes. To
contract they can sell bullion for the
notes and retire the latter. TO pre-
vent speculation, let the commission
issue notes to a limited extent without
corresponding Purchases of bullion.
Notes could be deposited on call with
designated banks on approved securi-
ties of public and railway bonds, the
government sharing i'm the profits.
Deposits could be withdrawn when
the commission wishes to contract.
Deposits could be made with New
York banks whenever money panic
sends interest up to, say, s per cent.
A plan like this enables our govern
ment to act independently of Europe:
to establish bimetallism on a flexible
