money with the entire value legislat-
ed into it? There can be no doubt
that congress has the constitutional
right to coin money, And as the con-
stitution does not prescribe the kind
of material to be used on which to inn
press the money stamp OF the govern
ment. must not the choice Of material
rest with congressY Why should the
government ignore an economic prin-
clple by using costly material (gold
and silver for money, when cheaper
material (paper) will answer far bet
ter purpose, Some claim that paper
money would not be good unless there
is gold and silver money to redeem
it, But no one ever thought of get
ting the difference (S210 between the
bullion value and the money value
redeemed. as shown above. When u
man pays a debt with a paper dollar
is it not redeemed? When he buys
what he wants with it or pays his
taxes with it, Is 1t not redeemed2
What more can he do with gold dol
lar? Moreover, the gold dollar will
cost him twice as much and serve no
better purpose, This money would
be issued on the faith and credit of
the nation, the same basis upon which
the bonds rests, and they are at q
premium Of twenty-five per cent,
There is talk Of issuing bonds at low
interest three per cent to pay SOL
diers' pensions Why not issue full
legal tender paper money without in
terest3 l will guarantee the soldiers
will take it. If interest bearing bonds
are issued, they will drift into the
hands of few rich men just as sure
as water will find the ocean. Why
not pay the President and Congress-
men and all the officers under the
government with this kind of money /?
Pay it out for building forts and war
vessels, and for all army and navy
supplies. 1t is claimed that this
money could not be used to pay for
our foreign purchases and to settle
our balances abroad. l am inclined
to think that if the course which
have mapped out should be pursued,
our mines would furnish gold and
silver enough TO do all our business
abroad, and at the same time insure
tranquility at home" Then instead
of issuing money at one per cent to
two or three thousand bankers, for
the use of which the people are made
to pay ton to fifteen per cent, issue it
direct to the people at say two per
cent secured by longtime mortgages
on real estate at half value. Could
money rest on a safer foundation, or
could the people be more faithfully or
economically served? Who but a
money loaner or mortgage holder,
or those who wish to reduce the wealth
producers Of the country to a system
of wage slavery could object to such a
money sysiem?-John Peck Of Ma

Topeka Letter.

The republican and democratic
parties both declared IN 1892 for both
gold and silver for money, yet 113
democrats atd ia republicans in the
house voted for the unconditional re-
peal Of the Sherman law. In the SEN
ate the vote was 26 republicans and
% democrats for repeal. Thus it will
be seen that while the republicans are
charging the democrats with incon-
sistency and keeping bad faith with
their promises, the republicans beat
them in both houses in the number of
votes for the repeal of the Sherman
law--the only law which recognized
silver for money use.
Should you wish to know the cause
for the position Of your parties upon
the silver question, glance down the
following table Of figures, and you
will see that the intent and object Of
the money and grain gamblers is to
rob the producer of the price Of his
product, so that he will be compelled
to borrow money to tide over. The
smaller the circulation of money the
higher the rate interest; and you can
readily see that by this process it is
only question of time till our entire
farming population will be in the
same fix as that Of old Ireland. Read
the table:

The fight IN this state has been out
lined, The Capital gives it out that
the republican machine is first to be
directed against coalition of the OPP
posing forces, and in the event of
failure to divide the opposition vote,
the bloody shirt will again bo brought
into use, That faded old garment
which has so long been in disuse in
this state is to be dyed anew and

Populist Committee Meeting.

The congressional committee of the
peoples party in the sixth district
met in Colby last Friday, March 9,
for the purpose of arranging for the
congressional convention, and trans.
acting any other business that might
come before 1t. Nineteen counties
all excepting Cheyenne, Russell aud
Mtchell--were represented, and the
meeting was large and enthusiastic
one, The people of Colby met all
trains, and welcomed the committees
and visitors with excellent band
music.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Darling, and after some
preliminary work motion was made
to hold the congressional convention
June 6, 1894. On roll call the vote
stood l6 yeas and l nay, When the
vote was announced, the coincidence,
l6 to l, was loudly cheered. When
the question of location came up an
informal ballot was taken which gave
Colby s, Phllhpsburg 5, Hoxie 3, Hill
City l and Stocton l. The commit.
tee then proceeded to formal ballot
which resulted on the sixth ballot in
favor of Colby. Phillipsburg made a
strong fight and came near winning
On motion the delegates were ap-
portioned as follows: One delegate
for each county, and one additional
for each 300 votes and major fraction
thereof cast for L. d. Lewelllng for
governor in 1892 This makes the
total number ninety-one.
The committee after making ar
rangements for selecting the dele
gates, and discussing other matters Of
interest adjourned to meet again at
the call of the chairman and secretary.
The meeting was largely attended
by those outside the committee, and a
more harmonious or enthusiastic
gathering never met in this district.
The question Of probable candidates
called out an almost unanimous ex-
preston in favor of a candidate who
will most ably represent us, in contra
distinction from our republican
brethren who expressed themselves in
favor of one oUbO could Wjn regard
less, it ID presumed, of his qualitica-
tions. The outlook from different
parts of the district is very cheering,
and the HERALD hopes that Phillips
county will exert herself to keep up
with the procession in other counties.
Reports of gains came from nearly
every county represented,
The mention Of Congressman
Bakers name invaribly provoked the
Ilvellest cheers, and it is plainly
evident that if he desires the renomi
nation he could readily secure it. The
selection of Colby was a dlsappoint-
ment to the HERALD as it was to the
delegation from this county, but the
will OF the majority IS supreme, hence
we cheerfully acquiesce, and will do
everything possible to make the con-
venhon at Colby a success.

senate to keep the country waiting
for a month for a report on tho tariff

has been desire to cause fluctuations

Intrinsic Value.

The purpose of this article is to show
the fallacy of intrinsic value. The
government takes 10 cents worth of
copper and coins one hundred cents
out of it, worth 81 in money. 1t takes
20 cents worth of nickle and makes
twenty tive-cent pieces out Of lt-cash
value 81. 1t takes 81 cents worth of
silver, and converts it into ten dimes,
which pass for 81. The dimes are
seven per cent light. Now let us put
these statements into another form, so
that they will be understood and ap-
preciated by all:
Intrinsic value, "copper" 1Oc. Money value, 81
Intrinsic value, nickel, zoe. Money value, 81
Intrinsic value, silver, 53c. Money value, 81
Total value ......... S3c. So
Difference between intrinsic value
and money value, $217. Now, the
hard moneyltes CLAIM that all money
which has not intrinsic value must be
redeemed. But where on earth or in
heaven or that other place, can they
90 to get this difference ($210 be-
tween the bullion value and the
money value redeemed. Everyone
must know that this difference has
been blown into the bullion value by
act of Congress Yet no man has ever
lost one cent by the arrangement.
That it is very awkward kind of
money all must admit, but it has
caused loss to no one. Now, if we
can use a very awkward metallic
money which has more than two-thlrds
of the value legislated into it, may we
not use more convenient material for
