This nation can be the greatest on
earth if given the chance. It can be
made self-supporting and self-sustain-
ing. American made goods are good
enough for anyone. We manufacture
and create nearly every thing that the
human family needs or graves, and this
nonsense of toadying to, and legislat
ing for aliens is getting wearisome.
Let the American eagle hold up its
head and do as the people would wish
no matter how much the Russian bear
or the British lion may howl Let our
legislators legislate for Americans and
not for foreigners and prosperity viii
again return to the land of freedom.

who gather about the fruit wharves Of
New York City on the arrival of a
vessel carrying bananas. The fruit is
put aboard when green, but on long
voyages many punches become ripe by
the heat of the hold. In this condition
rough handling breaks the punches
apart, and as the wholesale dealers will
not accept the fruit in this condition a
large part of it is thrown away. Persons
to whom satisfactory meals are few
and far apart have. learned that ba-
nanas are most filing, and as the
broken punches may be had nearly al
ways for the asking they have grown to
await the arrival of fruit steamships in
order to satisfy their hunger.

TWO SERIOUS EVILS.


a Legacy eff Interest and a Demonetized
Rocky Mountain News.
In the last decade of the nineteenth
century there are two evils that seri-
ously affiict the great human family.
One is the payment. of interest on the
legacyof national indebtedness created
by our financial forefathers. The other
is the demonetized loss on the value of
silver by unrighteous legislation.
Gold and silver from time immemori-
al have been the acknowledged cur
rency of all civilized nations, although
the legislature has illegally deprived
the latter of its power and legal value.
Silver being the money of the people,
should be honest. Silver never ought
to have been divorced from its help
meet gold, unless as tokens or commo-
dities it was redeemable in gold at its
standard value. A people, to be free,
prosperous and contented must be
without national Indebtedness; there
fore debtor nations must combine and
determine at what period of time in
terest on national Indebtedness should
terminate. For the last generation
recommendation has been fattening on
the carcasses of decaying and bankrupt
communities by the monometallic
policy pursued, making the rich richer
and the poor poorer.
When the executives of defaulting
nations are placed under the same laws
as defaulting corporations, bankers,
merchants and others, war will cease,
equity will follow, and justice through
international arbitration will be ad-
ministered, and the executives of ma
tions in power should be held RESPONSE
bic to a properly constituted interna-
tionaI tribunal for any expansion of
the national debt.
In this age of progress, with interna-
tional reciprocity treaties and the
opening up of new worlds, financial
commissions must continue to arise
through the insuficiency of gold, car
rying with it disastrous consequences
which this insufhciency creates; and
we must, for the purpose of argument,
throw aside the purpose of diplomacy
and look at matters straight in the face
as we find them from monometallic
basis, as we'll as from the debtor ma
TONS point of view.
The evolution of time often changes
a dynasty from one form of government
to another, but drastic reforms at the
will of the people are not always con-
sentative or consistent in the life of
nations and any change in the form of
government is useless, unless the peo-
pie are. freed from the burden of ma
tional Indebtedness and oppressive
taxation.
The creditor nation of the world has,
by the Vaccinations of monometallism,
aided by the legislature, got the debtor
nations of the world firmly by the
throat, which the following figures will
show by the burden of interest bearing
national debts, not including Great
Britainor the United States of America:

ORDINANCE officers of the army and
navy are surprised at the reports of ex-
periments made in Berlin of bullet
proof coat, the invention of German
tailor, which proved to be invulnerabIe
to three bullets fired with one of the
new small army rifles. Our military
attaches at Berlin have been instructed
to furnish the department, if possible,
with full reports of the resistance pow
er of the coat, not with view to the
purchase by this government of the in
vention, but more in the interest of
science. It seems incredible that a
bullet can be stopped by simple
jacket weighing only about six pounds,
or that man could stand the shock of
being hit by the shot, propelled with
such frightful velocity as has been OBJ
tanned by the new German rifle.

The vertical system of handwriting
which was introduced into the Samuel
Ready school in Baltimore, Md, several
years ago, is now occupying the atten-
ton of a number of nothern educators,
who advocate it's use in the public
schools, and it promises to be the pen
manship of the future. In the vertical
handwriting the writer sits squarely in
front of the desk, with body erect, and
the pen is held in an easy, straight po-
sition. After the pupils have acquired
ease in writing, it is said, their individ-
uality quickly shows in their penman-
ship, while at the same time the gen.
eral principles learned from the copy
books are adhered to.

AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COIN.
Goldbug papers argue that the United
States must have money that is &C
ceptable to, and that will circulate with
European nations. AS the greater part
of the old country nations are on a
gold basis, they claim that the United
States must be put on the saSue IeyeI.
When they claim this they either show
ignorance or desire to falsify.
When the balance of trade is against
the American side of the ocean, gold is
shipped to make up the deficiency, but
not at its face value; oh, no, but as bull
lion. and bullion only. Every dollar
that goes abroad only at its bullion
value and is weighed and shipped as
bullion. Uncle Sans stamp is of no
more value on the coin than would be
the trade mark of any other nation, in
dividuaI or corporation. 1t would
bring as much if it had no stamps or
trade mark When it is shipped it is as
a commodity and not as creation of
law as a debt payer. Now where is the
sense of our keeping on a single stand
ard basis just because England does?
It would be just as sensible for as to
change our language to German be
cause it is the language of Germany, or
choose a car because Russia has one.

OMAHA, Neb., April 14-Judge Dundy
has ordered the wages of Union Pacific
employees restored to the old rate This
applies to all the employees whose sal
aries were cut last September. The
order directs the receivers to restore the
old wage schedule, so far as itrelates to
the men represented by the petitioners
and others similarly situated, and in
cases where the men receive less than
$50 per month the increased pay shall
commence on the first day of March
last, and in all cases where the men
receive $50 per month or over the in
creased pay shall commence on the
