N. D. Capital: The wall street
money kings, working hand in glove
with the London Shylocks, are pound
ing down the gold reserve in the United
States treasury with the. obvious
purpose of frightening the senate into
passing the unconditional repeal silver
bill, and it is not extravagant to sur
mise that they have the connivance Of
the Cleveland administration in doing
so. The gold reserve is now reduced
about fifteen million below the limit,
and Henry Clews, the Wall street
banker, says that Wall street is still
suffering from the delay of the senate
in passing the repeal bill. That there
is some defect in a financial system
which makes this possible is self evil
dent, but how to remedy the defect is
the question. Certain it is that any
remidy suggested by those who have
combined together to bring about the
present condition will and ought to be
looked upon with suspicion: and
this very thing, more than all
others, aroused sentiment among the
people that arrested the progress of the
repeal bill ia the senate. it is not be-
lieved the bill would pass the house
now and it is quite probable that some
of the western members Of. the lower
house will have a rocky, road to travel
in campaigning for reelection next
summer. The knife Of the Shylock
who is after the pound Of flesh near.
est the nations heart has been dis:

WHY BOOKS ARE CHEAP.
A Machine That Prints and Folds Thre
Thousand Every Hour.

A Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every Hour.
There are various rumors and tales
floating about town among those in the
business concerning some wonderful ma
chinery over on the west side of the city
In certain monstrous bookmaking es-
tablishment.
The ''novel machine" is q large web
press similar to the kind newspapers are
printed On, but arranged to take curved
electrotypes of each page of book in
stead of single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders. ON
each of which IA pages may be screwed,
and as the long strip of paper goes
through, first one side is printed and ther.
the other, making it possible to print 2SS
pages at every revolution, The strip Of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, is cut, folded and
brought together in the shape of small
volume, with the edges all trimmed. Ev-
cry time the great cylinder goes round a
novel is printed, folded and trimmed, and
5000 of these are turned out every hour,
while, if it were necessary, 1000 or 5000
might be the quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to little machine that looks
like sewing machine, and two wire
stitches are taken in the back of each
The stitched volumes are then carried to
the covering machine, where they are put
side to side in long feeding trough. At
the end of this is a little compartment
large enough to take book, Carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed, there are a series Of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain moves along each one re-
ceives book. As the book proceeds a
wheel running in a gluepot presses
against its back, smearing it with glue.
A little further along there is pile of
covers that comes up at just the right
moment, leaving a cover sticking to the
gluey back of the book.
In this way so books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty
thousand of these paper covered novels
are thus turned out every two weeks, and
extra editions of $4,000 or so are often
worked in besides.-New York CONNER.

Bismarck Tribune: Stutsman county
farmers seem to be fully aroused to the
danger of Russian cactus, and last
week. pursuant to numerously y signed
call, mass meeting Of farmers, poll
ticians and others met in the court
house at jamestown, to devise ways
and means to rid the county of this
particularly noxious weed. Farmer
Il. T. Kerney, who will be re
membered as member Of the
Legislature of 1891, EXPRESSED himself
in favor of an extra session of the
Legislature to provide for building a
wire fence across the state to lodge
the cactus as it blows northward. He
held it was impossi bic. for the indi-
vidual farmer to fight the advance OF
Russian enemy successfully, and the
whole state was interested. Farmer
Thomas, it seems, didn't take much
stock in the wire fence scheme. He
said one might as well whistle against
nor h wind, for the seed would con-
tinue in it's aerial fight long after the
weeds had stopped rolling. He
thought the remedy was in better in
dividual farming. Farmers" Casey,
Wallace, Wells and others who had
signed the call were scored for non
tendance and lack of interest and the
meeting adorned with Kearney still
of the mind that Russian cactus extra
session of the Legislature ought to be
called by the old gray headed farmer
governor at once.

French Servants and Wealthy Shopkeep'

French Servants and Wealthy shopkeepers.
The one extravaganza of dress Of the
French servant girl lies in having her
best gown made by dressmaker instead
Of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her well, and her plain stuff
costume has degree of style about it
which she is fully capable Of appreciat-
ing. The ladies of the so called bour-
geois set-the wives and daughters Of
rich shopkeepers and manufacturers
very rarely indulge in rich fashionable
toilets. Nine. Boucicaut, the foundress
of the Bon Marche, was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed i'll black
silk or satin of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour Of her life just
what she was-the greatest and richest
shopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still a
shopkeeper, and one that never tried to
look like anything different. When the
daughter of one of these wealthy trades
people marries, her trousseau is usually
very superb, but the famous masters OF
the art of dress are seldom or never
called upon to exert their inventive tai
ents in her behalf.-Lucy Harper in
Home Journal.

How Air Resists q Locomotive.

Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for that purpose by the French
government show that the resistance Of
the atmosphere to the motion of high
speed train often amounts to half the to-
tai resistance which the locomotive must
overcome. Two engines, of which the
resistance was measured repeatedly and
found to be 10 pounds per ton at 81 miles
per hour, were coupled together and
again tried. In the second trial the re-
sistance fell to IA pounds per ton, the
second engine being shielded from at
mospheric resistance by the first It
strikes me that there is an idea for some
inventor half nnmasked in this item.

An article which costs no
labor to produce, has no market value,
and will bring no price, because every
one can secure all he wants of what
ever it may be "without money and
without price" Air is an example Of
this. Though valuable--nay absolute
ly necessary-yet it will bring no price
because no labor is necessary to pro-
duce it.

SOME REFLECTIONS.

III The talk about intrinsic values
the fact seems to be lost sight of that
nothing save labor has any intrinsic
value. This may be broad state
meut, but it is borne out by the facts.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

We find then, that it is not alone
the peculiar properties of gold, nor yet
its scarcity, that give it its great
value, but the fact that the nations
want it for money.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

There is another feature of the mat
ter too, which is but little thought on,
and which is the correlative of the
first proposition, namely: That no
matter how much labor is necessary to
produce an article, it will bring no
price unless some use can be made of
it. Millions Of money and years of
time might be expended in digging
down into the earth and heaping up
vast mounds Of clay and rocks, but
neither the hole nor the matter taken
therefrom would be of any value, al
though each represents much labor
because they cannot be put to any use.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

Should the nations of the world
unite to demonetize gold it would sink
IN value to par with copper.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

But the latter of these propositions
seems to have been lost sight of by
the single gold standard men, in their
fierce denunciations of silver. The
claim is made that but-say-seyenty
cents in actual value is contained in
a silver dollar, but they forget that a
large part, if not all of that depreciat-
ion in the value of silver bullion was
caused by the partial demonstration
of that metal. In other words, while
the cost of production remains prac-
tically the same, the use for it has
been largely done away.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

At the best either gold or silver, as
money, are but representatives of the
real values, and as such, are of no
more value than Was tho string of
shells with which the native American
purchased the products Of the chase
and the field. ~>-...
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

The same course would greatly re-
duce the value of gold, as that metal
gets its chief value from the fact that
it is universally used as circulating
medium.

We are convinced that there are
many wrongs in our system Of finance,
and that these wrongs all tend to the
advantage Of men who can command
money. There il, = fatal defect in =
system which plaeesa . mere represent
alive above the thing itself, aud yet
that is what our financial system has
done. Instead Of eleyatiDg labor and
It's products, we seek to elevate men
who deal in stocks, bonds and securities.
Men who never produce N article
to the value Of one cent, and who stand
ready TO degrade all values 70 the
lowest depth if they can but serve
their purpose By 20 doing ere
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

Intrinsic value then, depends on
these two things:The labor involved in
production and the demand after pro-
duction. And one is no more factor
than the other.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

And right here let US say that gov
ernment CAN place fictitious value
oman article, notwithstanding gold-bug
assertions to the contrary.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1893-11-04

The question then arises, should
men be employed in producing these
metals instead of laboring to enhance
the comfort and add to the luxuries Of
mankind, simply because governments
place-by lava fictitious value on
them? s 3. ..ze..ss.
