The speech of Senator VOORHEES, in
favor of the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law Oh it's surface seems like an
able effort, but it is not. It is the
speech Of a demogogue, IN whose quar-
ter of a century of public life, he has
eve before been able to equal. He
essays to speak for the administration,
but at the same time "winks the othor
eye' at the silverites. As a straddle,
this latest effort of Voohees is a glitter
ing success. That the senator is in
favor OF something seems likely as he
made a two hours speech, but just what
it ia, or on which side of the financial
question he has finally landed, is by no
means clear. In oratory the speech was
clever; in logic poor.

THE DAILY
CASH FOR CROP MOVING.

OnQer the ABOVE captlOu Tue N1luue-

There is no occasion for anxiety over
the crop moving problem. Farmers are
going to be in no rush to market their
wheat at from so to 80 cents q bushel.
This is shown by the Chicago receipts from
the southwest, which are only about one
The reports show that farmers are stack

the improvement in prices which all au-
thorities agree is bound to come.
The light receipts at the beginning of
the crop movement from now until the
latter part of neXt month will be readily
taken care of by the elevator companies in
receipts. The early shipment OF this grain
east will bring money from that quarter to
the west to assist in the marketing OF the
next grain installment, and with each ship
ment the volume OF northwest cash for
crop moving will he increased. The ease

vive trade, and give confidence to deposit

Were wheat now worth 90 cents to 81 in
the open market. there might be serious
apprehension of the ability of dealers TO

the crop should be speedily marketed. But
with wheat at the country elevators rang
ing from IS to IS cents it is not to the in
terests of the farmers or of the northwest
in general that it should be marketed in
any haste. There should be no panic OH
the part OF anybody to rush the crop out of
the state at that %ruinously low figure.
The fact is, that the scarcity of ready
money has provided its own remedy. The
low price of wheat, which money scarcity
has produced, will restrict the marketing
to such a volume that the of the
gram men will be equal to the occasion.

panies, whether by individual or by joint
action, are certain to make efficient use of
cash supply. Elevator receipts also, espec'
rising, will be taken at country stores on
account and at the banks as security for
loans. and so they too will be a material
factor in crop moving, should occasion

There is therefore no occasion for appre.
hension over the crop moving outlook.
Farmers and elevator companies alike
have agreed that, at present prices. their
mutual interests require a slow marketing

SOME of the interesting incidents of
the recent "hungry demonstration" in
New York-in which over 1000 starving
people were advertised to parade, but
less than 300 we'll dressed young men
turned out and marched beneath a black
hag-were the complaints to the police
station by several of the paraders after
the demonstration. One young mar re-
ported that he had been robbed of a
gold watch and 1925 in money, and an
other complained that he had been re.
iieved of $3.50. Great pauper demon
stration that. There are, of course,
thousands of destitute people in the
country, but the parading bread-cryers
are by no means the most worthy.

DEPARTMENT COMMANDER JOHN D.
BLACK of the North Dakota G. A. r.,
sends out a special to all comrades in
relation to the 9th national encamp-
ment to be held in Indianapolis, Sep
TENDER 18th to 9Th. The department
headquarters car will leave st. Paul,
Sunday, September Sd, at $40 p. M,
and arrangements have been perfected
to furnish tourist sleeping cars at SIS
per day from the time they are accepted
until their arrival in St. Paul. The Chi
cago e. Northwestern railroad will take
these cars to Chicago and the Pennsyl-
wanna company to Indianapolis, and
furnish trackage during the stay there,
returning to Chicago, September 9th, in

"WHETHER that change is to be for
the better or not no mar can tell. What
the democratic party purposes to do
with the power which is in their hands
nobody can say. They do Lot even know
themselves, and hence they are unable
to lmpart the knowledge to others. For
my part l do not expect the Democratic
party to be utterly bad. l do not be-
lieve they will be permitted to be SO if
they should SO desire. Under the re-
straining influence of the people even
after election l believe that through all
disguises nevertheless their wishes will
be carried out. But at the present
moment no man can know what will be
the action of this congress upon the
manufactures of this country. If the re.
formation of the tariff were in the hands
even of it's friends; if a change in the
tariff we're contemplated by these men
who are in favor of the principle of pro-
lection, instead of in the hands of those
who denounce it, I should feel entirely
confident that business would not be ateg.
nant or remain at a standstill; but when
this reformation Of the tariff is in the
hands Of men opposed to the present sys-
tenn, those manufacturers of the country
which are built up on the present eys-
tenn must necessarily call a halt. If
the goods which they manufacture are
to be in competition with the manu-
features of other lands, where the cost
Of production is upon a different basis,
whose labor is differently rewarded, as a
matter of fact no manufacturer in this
country will dare to manufacture goods
until he knows the basis upon which his
labor is to go into the production of his
article of sale. Until that question is
settled you may be sure that manufac.
turers of this country will never dare to
manufacture more than the absolute
necessities of the people require. I can
characterize in a single phase the cause
of the present condition of affairs. It is
the undiscoverable uncertainty of the
future of both the currency question and
the question of protection and revenue
tariff."-Speech of Tom Reed in house of
representatives on the Goth inst.

A FINANCIAL CATECHIsM,

There is no question regarding which
the average farmer and wage-earne7
knows SO little as the financial problem.
Theirs is no question so important-no
duty so imperative as the studying at
this time of the scientific principals of
money. Money is simply the dumb rep
resenta:lve of labor performed. When
a farmer, merchant or manufacturer dis
poses Of a quantity of goods, produce or
manufactures that he does not need for
his own use, he simply trades them for
a quantity of something that he needs
belonging to someone else and which rep
resents the same amount of labor. He
may trade the products of his own toll
for what is called money but the money
simply represents like labor performed.
When a person buys anything he simply
sells money-which is but the repre-
sentative of a like amount of labor as
required to produce that which he buys,
and when he sell the products of his own
labor he buys the representative of a
like amount Of labor-money. A simpls
and comprehensive article on the fnan-
cial question recently appeared in Kate
Fields Washington, inspired by the
resolutions passed at the meeting of the
unemployed workingmen'' in Chicago
last week. At this meeting, which was
composed almost entirely of foreigners,
the widest kind of speeches were made,
charging all their troubles to the money
power and to various alleged conspira-
cies. Resolutions for free coinage of
silver were passed, and it was also re-
solved to march under appropriate ban.
ners to the city hall and demand work.
If ever missionaries were me- ded
among the laboring classes to remove
the scales from their eyes, about New
York and London, it is now," says the
Washington. misguided laboring
men should be enlightened on the cur.
rency. It is the greatest possible mis-.
take to leave farmers alone. Isolated,
without the friction of daily papers and
their fellow men, they brood ovel
poverty, which may be the result
of their own ignorance and fall a prey
to the first demagogue who aatters them
by creating q party in their name. The
following financial catechism presents
the question in a manner that will be
understood more readily than many of
the arguments made by students OF
political economy on finance.
What is money?
Whatever the markets of the world
decide.
What is used as currency?
Gold and silver.
Have these metals always been 80
applied?
No. Australians once used stone slabs
as the medium of exchanges; Feiee
Islanders used red feathers; Romans
used oxen; female slaves served this pur.
pose in Ireland before the Roman in.

been used In the process Of evolution

What has this silver cost lis in depre-

Would this waste suffice to build the

Yes, aud pay the debt of II of the

No. They refuse to take them. pre-

Would the non. purchase OF silver
drive the white metal out OF circulation?
No. Not 10 cents worth would be
driven out. Paper and gold would con.

Is there gold enough?
Certainly. Gold is increasing three
