Austin.


Austin.
There is a colored man in Austin of the
name Of sam Johnsng. He has some mon
ey which he has made trading horses, at
which business he is an expert. One day
Judge Peterby saw Johnsing trading with
an itineraut horse dealer. Having some
curiosity to know how Sam came out In
the trade, he asked him:
Did you sell that fellow your horse"
81 did, boss, for fac"
"How much did you get"
Twenty dollars"
"Only SOP You are fool. That's val
liable horse"
"Lemme tell you somethin, boss Dat
boss is lame"
Judge Peterby happened to meet the
horse trader afterward and said to him;
so you paid $50 for that horsef"
YES; paid $50 to the darky. It's pref
ty cheap horse"
"You have been swindled. The horse is
lame"
81 know the horse is lame but it doesn't
amount to anything. He limps because he
has not been properly shod. As soon as |
take the shoes off him he will not limp

horse"
Half an hour aftcrward Judge Peterby
met sam Johnsng.

THE RATIO EVERYTHING

The claim of the combination of
money lenders who have fastened the
single gold standard upon the United
States is that If the mints of our
country were opened to the free coin
age of silver as well as gold the effect
would he to put i'll circulation de-
based silver dollar with the pur-
chasing power less than the gold dol
lar.
This assumption is disproved both
by present and past experience. We
now haze Ill circulation about 49,
OOO,O0U silver doilIrs or their equIva-
lent i'll silver cert .ica5e;. Despite
the dc lilac III silver to e;s than half
it proper monetary value, measured
by GOli, our silver circulation is as
good as god for the purpose of OK
change or the payment of debts
wi.h.n the United States. Last year
silver dollar; sold ut premium over
gold in the East in the midst of the
panic.
If parity can be sustained with the
present difference between the COM
mercial value of gold and silver and
the ratio of lG to |, what reason is
there to doubt that parity can be up
held with that difference removed or
substantially removed?
'Ihn lix,nr,r, lao
of the two metals is caused by taking
the primary monetary function from
silver and giving Il monopoly of it to
gold. 1t was the effect of legislation
enacted to enable moncy-lending
class to rob the world. Undo that
legislation, place the two metals upon
the legal Status held by them until
1873, and the disparity between the
commercial price of gold and silver
and Their ratio value will disappear.
1t viii disappear simply by ss1ning
the demand for gold and proportion
atcly mere lsing the demand for silver.
With its disappearance would come
restoration of values to their normal
standIrd, the release of the stranglinr
grip which avarice now has upon the
forces of prOduction and IL general re-
vival OF business which would open
to debtors the possibility of payment
and of stopping the prevalent process
Of absorption under foreclosure pro-
ceedings.
The ratio IS vital and everything.
The purpose of the gold trust to per-
manentiy dominate the industries OF
the world and crush the millions to
enrich the few can be as cffectually
accom-. ished with free coinage and
changel ratio as with silver perma.
nently demonetized. It wonld be
the most effective, because the most
secure and most enduring way, to
perpetuate the abnormal appreciation
of gold and the undervaluation of Ia.
Dor and all it's fashions or produces.

taries They have none except to now
and then write letter for the Congress
man who appoints them, in answer TO
some question or suggestion of con-
stituent. This laborious effort will be
supplemented by another of drawing a
salary, This elaborate system of clerk
ship began when the Justices of the
Supreme Couts of the United States were
each given a clerk, and the probabilities
are that these justices needed such help,
for their work is certainly exacting,
laborious and continuous. The clerks Of
the justices as well as the justices them
selves earn all they get. Following clerks
for the Supreme Court Justices Congress
concluded clerks to Senate committees
would be justifable and this paved the
way for a clerk to each Senator, then
clerks to the House committees and the
beginning Of the extra session of Congress
each representative was allowed his clerk.
At the Governments expense all depart
ment officials have carriages. How long
will it be before the Sybaratic senators
and representatives will demand and
receive the same luxury ? Rugged virtue
is not apt to be looked for where all SEM
blance of official economy and simplicity
has departed The S6l1, ,2sO Congress has
thus voted away in their era of extrava-
gance is an appropriation for fifth

AMERICAS sYBARIs.

The signs are unmistakable that the
prejudice against any kind of manual
labor and the fondness for luxury is grow
ing at an alarming rate at the national
capital that, indeed, Washington is be-
soming Americas Sybaris. This it is not
hard to conclude after an examination Of
fhe records OF expense annually incurred
shere not only in all the departments,
but by the senators and the representa-
lives In the good old JefTersonian days
u simplicity Congressman were not above
she manual labor which the writing Of
letter now and then necessitates. They
even performed the necessary work Of
writing their committee reports, and there
we're cases in which the President of
she United States himself with his own
hand wrote his annual message Now
all this simplicity is changed The name
X the number of clerks and private
secretaries for committee, heads of de-
aartments and for the subordinates of
Nose heads has become legion. Each
senator Of the Uuited States, and there
IRE eighty-eight OF them, is entitled TO a
Ietk at an annual salary OF 81, 16O max
ing the aggregate outlay for the senator's
private secretaries amount to t19O,OsO,
and, as if this were not enough, at the
hat session of Congress each member Of
me House Of Representatives, and there
are s56 of them, was granted private
secretary at a salary of q, 200 a year,
making the annual outlay for this luxury
