article a dol lar, and hence they de
mand the use of paper.
Both ideas are erroneous. The
gold idea, in that it assumes that gold
and gold alone, OF all the productions
of the earth is absolutely fixed and
immovable in value. while the other
errs in supposing that the legal fiction
Of fiat will impart positive and per
manent value where none exists.
Money is medium of exchange
and a measurer of values other than
its own, and so long as money is in
free circulation in sufficient quantities
to make the exchange of commodities
free and easy, we need not trouble
ourselves much about the intrinsic
value of the medium.
Any medium of fexchange that COM
mands the respect aud confidence of
the business interests will pass current,
without regard to intrinsic value, all
that is necessary being, that its ex-
changable value be stable and its
volume sufficient to enable free ex-
change of labor and commodities.

The Demand for PaternaliSm.
'levelaud Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There should be limit on internal
improvements carried on by the gen.
eral government. There is no end OF
schemes that are constantly put for
ward under the idea of paternalism
for Uncle Sam to father. One COM
pany wants the government to put
down artesian wells so as to irrigate
the barren lands of the west; another
wants big tunnels run into the Rocky
mountains, 50 as to secure water for
irrigation; another wants the govern
ment to start irrigation fumes, with
the catching idea of redeeming the
barren lands of the west.
1t is best for the general govern
ment to fight shy of all thes schemes.
The province of the government
should be to govern the people, to
make just laws, to furnish the legal
tender coin. 1t is no part Of the gov
ernment to purchase golu or silver
bullion, The constitut on says that
"congress shall have power TO coin
and to regulate the value there
Of" The old Democratic idea of
local self-povernment and that each
locality shall make its own improve
ments when they are not strictly of
national character is the safe ground
to stand on.

the mains until sufficient pressure is
attained to force the water to any
required height This system is OBJ
jectionable in that the water is filed
with all the impurities originally
found therein.
In our case, the water sap ply be-
ing sufficient, this plan might be
combined with the first and the dis.
tributing cisterns dispensed with.
Next in order Is the stand pipe
plan; which is too we'll known to
need special description. 1t is
simply make shift instead of a res
ervoir. and is in use where no natural
elevation can be found, OF in fur
nishing public or private institu-
tions.
The Stand pipe and Holly are fire.
queptly combined and by an ar
rangement of valves the force Of the
pumps can, if emergency requires
be turned directly in the mains and
this temporarily increase the press,
urc.
Last and most perfect OF all is the
double reservoir plan. This plan is
dependent for its existence on the
natural conformation of the country
in the reasonable limit of the pump
ping station.
a hill of sufficient height to give
adequate pressure, and with suffi-
cient top area to permit the con-
struction of the reservoirs is an alb,
solute necessity, and the nearer to
the pumping station the better.
Here a reservoir of sufficient ca
pacity is constructed and cross it is
constructed tiltering wall.
The water is pumped into re,
ceivlng reservoir, passes through
the filter into the storage reservoir
and from thence into the mains.
This system has the merit of fur.
nishing clear, pure water, which is
fit for any use, and is always prompt
certain and uniform in action.
1t is the Oldest system on earth
and at the same time the best, where
natural surroundings permit that
has ever been devised by the inge-
naity of man.

THE WATER WORKS.

There are several systems of sup
plying water to cities and towns,
and all are applicable to Logan, and
in addition Logan has another pos.
sibility of it's own.
1t has been suggested and is, per.
haps, worthy of consideration, that
the water from the line of springs
at the base of Ponds hill might be
collected and conveyed to some CEN
trail cistern, and from thence pumped
to other cisterns all over the town
and stored for use i'll extinguishlng
fires.
There is no doubt of s sufficient
supply Of water but to obtain it the
town would be forced to purchase
from ten to twelve water rights and
a general franchise from the owners
of the land, but with all this the
actual outlay of money would be less
than by any other system.
There are objections to the scheme
however, and one of the strongest is
that the water could not be used
without the aid Of a pump, and the
would be no improvement
over the present plan.
The next, and most common, is
the Hqlly system which contem-
plates the naming of the town, and
the pumping of water directly into

little, or no money at all. 1t is the
highest prerogat:ve Of Sovereignty.
1t belongs to the Peoples Congress,
and this Congress, cannot abdicate it
without betrayal of the People. There
fore L think the Populists are right
in their Jacksonian position of refus-
ing to surrender the right of Congress
to coin and regulate the value of
money. They are right in resisting
the transfer of this power to Europ-
can nations, or to corporations created
to usurp it. This is true, because
the Congress and not the crowned
heads Of Europe, nor any corporation
of America, nor any living creature on
land or sea. possesses this greatest of
all powers granted to it and to it alone
not for the aggrandizement of cor
poration but for the general welfare"
of the people,-the grantors.
If this logic lands me in favor of
greenback paper and government
banks that secure the depositor as
well as the note holder, it will de-
serve the defense of

What is a Dollar?
Yours Truly,
VoX

In answer to the above question
there are two distinct lines of argu-
ment, each Of which is erroneous, for
the reason that both argue from an
erroneous foundation.
A dollar as used by the United
States and by civilized nations gen.
eraly is. a term, or word signifying
the value one hundred American
cents, and has no reference whatever
to the character of, or component
parts of the commodity.
A dollar may be represented by
potatoes, any of the cerials, or fruits
or other productions of the earth.
The single-Standard gold advoca-
ties, ignore the plain facts of CONNER
cial exchange when they insist that

Gold is metal, and in and of it.
self is no more fixed in value than
any other commodity until the law
fixes to it a value within certain
limits, and designates fictitious val
ue to be used in the exchange of all
other commodities.
The fact that the general use of
gold, at about the same fiat value, by
the commercial world, keeps the COM
mercial value and fiat value very
near together does not alter the prim-
airy conditions.
No one claims that gold if divested
of it fiat value would be any more
stable in price than many other things.
This taot has led another class to
the conclusion that it is the fat of law
and this alone that constitutes money,
and hence they advocate that the
stamp of the law on anything that
will bear its impress will make :hg.

The Presidents Message.

President Clereland's message is
a lengthy state paper. mainly syn
opsls of the facts and figures of the
department reports. Our foreign
relations, as is always the custom in
presidential messages, are treated
with greater fullness of detail, be-
cause the secretary of state is the
one head of department who makes
no annual report.
The tariff is touched very lightly
but the presi lent says he is ':decid-
edly in favor of putting coal and
iron ore on the free list" and
would be glad to see every particle
of differential duty in favor of re-
fined sugar stricken out of our tariff
law"
The president is very emphatic
pn the bond question, He puts the
responsibility on congress for its
failure to meet the assured exigen-
eies of tie existing currency system.

DEAR SENTINEL.
Your bright and beaming face and
sprightly chat is welcomed to my fire.
side every week and thousand other
homes are cheered by your visits.
The weekly newspaper is the great
est of all educators, is not owned by
great factories, or bankers, or capital
lists voicing the tendency of the few
to usurp and dictate the Legislation
of the state, or nation, but the crea-
ture and servant of the humble, the
toiling and the honest masses who
find it a ready defender of their rights,
their interests and their liberty.
The weekly country newspaper
serves the reading subscriber thereto
the purpose which castle of the Feudal
lords served them,-a safe retreat in
danger, fort in war and defense
when assailed. Depending on the
patronage of its supporters it cannot
desert their cause without deserving
its own. 1t is therefore worth more.
not only because it costs more than
weeklies or dailies of great circula-
ton, but because it is the indispensable
agent and the safe defender of its own
welfare and that also of its constitu-
ents which is identical.
! like your very sensible remarks
about The Populists.
Like the Abolition party of the past
they have their use and something of
will eventuate from
their earnest demands. But I agree
with you that the Populist idea of
government ownership of every thing,
railroads, gas, coal, timber and lands,
is too much like abandoning the prin-
ciple of self government and suhsti-
tuting paternal guardians in place of
it. At bottom it lacks faith in the
people and leans on somebody above
them for relief and direction, yet these
Populists are not wholly wrong in
claiming for the general government
the constitutional power of coming
money and Of regulating its value. !
To regulate the value of money is a
sovereign power. This power can
not be delegated by Congress. When
it was attempted in the days of
Jackson to delegate this
power to Nick Biddle and his British
stock holders in the old United States
Bank, the Hero of New Orleans stood
for the People against the bank, and
saved this power from delegation to
that corporation. Congress, he said,
shall retain its power to regulate
This power can reside no where else
without the abdication of its sove
reignty. The power to coin and regu-
ate, is the power to mahe much, or

CHEAPER BREAD.

Detroit has Mayor who declares
his determination to give his people
cheaper bread.
He declares that the price of bread
is the same now that it was when
-four was 800 per bbl., and that the
price, now, when flour is about one
half the former rate is an extortio n
the peoplv should not be required to
bear.
So far as we know what the Mayor
of the City of Detroit says is true
there, is true in Logan and all the
surrounding towns, and can only be
overcome by vigorous and combined
action on the part of consumers.
A general refusal of patronage
would soon bring the bakers to a
reasonable consideration of the cit
uation.

by making provision for the low
rate bonds.
The president gives his unqualifi-
ed Endorsement to currency plan
proposed by the secretary of the
treasury, which looks to the repeal
of the tax on the issues of state
banks, with stated limitations.
This is the great question of the
future, and Mr., Cleveland submits
a plan which he believes will do
away with these constantly recur-
ring bond issues and secure an ahso-
lutelv safe, as well as elastic, cur
rency.
