per month Of money.
Cut off this supply and there will be
no addition to the money whatever.
Last year the gold supply was some
S52,ooo,o 900 odd, 90, 900, 900 OF which
came from the silver mines. These
are now all stopped. The arts and
manufactures require fully S12,ooo,-
ooe annually, hence there will be no
increase of the money in circulation,
while that in circulation will be con-
stantly decreasing by loss and de-
struction.
All political economists agree that
to make money scarce makes it dear.
Make anything scarce-other things
remaining equal it becomes dear.
This is true of anything, wheat, cot
ton, corn. When money becomes
dear, wheat, corn and cotton becomes
cheap-a dollar buys great deal.
To look at it from the standpoint of
North Dakotan, it takes great
deal of wheat to buy dollar, but the
dollar no more interest or bonds than
when wheat was worth IS cents per
bushel. Methinks / hear a chorus
of voices say, how does that effect
meo Let us see. The recent census
shows that the aggregate public and
prive debt of this country is about
$780, 1000 on this we pay an
annual interest averaging nearly 6
per cent, call it 515 per cent, and
the interest on our debts is S1,725,-
900, 900 annually. Suppose that you
on an average citizen what is your
share? The total vote last year was
slightly in excess of 100000, deduct
900, 600 for idlers. who spend their
time yachting, travelling in Europe, and
tramps, and we have in round numbers
II 900, 600 who labor on farms, in stores
shops, mines, etc, each of these II 600,
600 laborers pays annually in interest
s.57. This does not include expenses
of schools and local government. Now,
farmers be fair with yourselves, does II
make any difference to you whether
wheat is 40 cents II bushel or Is cents!
At 40 cents it takes 400 bushels of wheat
to pay your share, at Is cents it takes
2lO bushels. Less money means cheap
CT wheat, more money mems dearei
wheat, repeal of the Sherman law mean
less money, while unlimited silver
coinage means more money.
Worst of all the volume of money
now i'll circulation is not more than
half rs large rs it ought to be. All lie
money in circulation used once per
year would not pay our annual interest
charge, including taves. The farmer
f3Nso hb0uCy pVV ObCV-WuCu uC
markets his crop. In the fear of these
stupendous facts the president puts on
his prayer meeting clothes and gravely
tells us that what we now want is to
repeal the Sherman law, which means
that if Il man has only two scant meals
a day and is dying of hunger the way
to get we'll and feel that he has had a
plenty is to cat but one. 1t is only the
crowd that holds the bonds and other
securities that demands that the money
supply be lessened, currency con.
traction means millions to them
twenty-five years ago they loaned us
their credit to buy our bushel of wheat
at 81 so now Jay day comes and they
demand not one bushel of wheat but
4 bushels of wheat and interest for Is
years to pay for it. 1t is true we want
cheaper money, we are crowding too
mary bushels of wheat into the dollar.

THE NEWSPAPER ARTIST AT WORK.
How the Illustrators Look in the Throes.

States. The growth of newspaper illustra-
ton has taken place here not by the intre-
duation of talent from the outside, but by
liberal encouragement to local artists and
native sons with artistic tastes. Most of
our younger photographers, sketch artists
aud draughtsmen are local men, and they
deserve great credit for the work they are
doing.
There are people who object to illusua-
tions in a newspaper. but there Is no doubt
whatever that the majority of readers like
them. Ii any man doubts this let him look
at the eager inquiry for cartoons at election
times. These cartoons, even In the daily
papers, cost much time and forethought, as
well as artistic skill. but one good cartoon
will do more TO make or break a cause than
columns of editorials. Many people never
read the editorial columns of newspaper,
but everybody looks at cartoon, because it
tells its story at once. G. w. SAALBURG.

The business Office never loosens the grip
Ii has on the art department. Knowing that
the artists have to call for their salaries,
and very frequently for some advance
money, 1t will send up an advertiser for
Illustrations.
The advertiser wants to impress upon the
public the Importance OF his invention or
the iadisl Instability OF the articles he has
