Think About This.

Do you borrow money? Do you buy
goods on credit? Do you rent q house
or fsrmP Well, suppose you do neither
Of these things, you consider yourself
we'll fixed and you suppose, free from the
burdens imposed by rent and interest.
True, in comparison with your brother
man who has these conditions to meet,
you are well fixed, but you are not ex-
empt from the tribute eXscted by the
landlord and the money lender. You
buy goods at q store and pay cash. But
the merchant pays rent for the store and
pays interest on the money he borrows
from the banks. His rent and interest
bills are charged up on his goods and
you help to pay them. But the man
who manufactured the goods paid rent
for the building and interest on the
money he had borrowed from the bank.
These items were also charged up on the
goods. But the wholesale merchant who
took the goods from the factory also
paid rent and interest and that also too
was charged up on the goods. So you
see you are not exempt from the burden
OF rent and ipteresk-SE Louis Monitor.

A Word To POpuIists.

From our location here ct Washington
we are enabled 10 ascertain many items
Of importance that cannot be obtained
elsewhere. Among the very important
pointers, especially to Populists, ar the
extraordinary preparations being made
by both the old parties for the coming
campaign. Never before have such early
and elaborate preparations been made
for q congressional election. Both old
parties have headquarters here, with q
full complement Of help, and both have
q printing Office of their own and under
their control. In fact, campaign docu-
ments are now being printed and sent
out by the hundreds Of thousands. Now,
what does this all mssnP Why this early
and vigorous campaign? 1t is because
both parties are fearful that the next
president will be selected by the house
of representatives. This is the long and
short Of it. They will talk in the most
insulting manner about the decay Of the
Populist party. They will print the
most outrageous fslsehoods about it's
fading members, and at the same time
make their extraordinary preparations
for checking its rapid growth. They
know our strength far better than we do
ourselves and are making ready in Rd-
vance to meet the emergency.
Now, let every Populist take courage
and begin the struggle anew. Let each
one from now until the polls close next
November make fight for life. The bat
tlo is now on and cannot be avoided.
Cowards, crsvens and traitors must be
driven out, and none but the true and
tried placed on guard. Let there be no
side-trscking in this fight. Let it be
demonstrated once for all whether the
man or the dollar shall rule this nation.
Begin the campaign now, begin it at
once. Go after the common people,
bring them to q sense OF their true con-
ditions. Let the politicians alone. The
democratic politicians OF the south are
orsvens and pie hunters; they will do
anything to continue in Office. The re-
publican politicians Of the west are no
better, but far more shrewd. The entire
east is against US, save q few brave and
noble men, contendng against great
odds. Let all such men as Bryan, Bland,
WolCott, Livingston and Daniels alone;
their friendship is blightlnR, and their
assistance will never bs received. Begin
to hold meetings, organize clubs, send
for literature, subscribe for papers, and
make the country feel the power of re-
nSwed activity. - National Watchmsn,

This Repetition of History.

Communicated.
The OGpitGl and other republican and
democratic newspapers positively assert
that oVerproduction is the cause Of low
prices. Too much wheat, too much corn,
too much meat, too much wool, too
much everything produced. The rene.
dy Of course is to let half the people lie
idle as they are now doing. So that
production will be lesssned, then when
bread and meat, shoes and clothing be-
come very scarce, everybody can have
plenty and everybody will be happy.

the Judgment to be rendered against him BY
the payment Of treasury notes, but that hl
would avail himself Of that right; and that
% treasury notes were deprecated in
the market below the value Of gold coin,
the plaintiff was entitled to such sum in the
deprecated currency as would procure the
amount of gold the defendant by his con-
tract had promised TO pay. The theory has
fair look, but 10 without any legal sup
port. The error consists in RttFibutlng
to money q marketable or commercial
value, and liability to the hlotuation in
price TO which other property by the acCi-
dents of trade is subject; and in suppos-
ing that instead Of the value Of money be-
ing thing fixed and established by Law, it
was an open question to be determined by
the courts in every case on the testimony Of
witnesses. E.
Money is universal medium, or common
standard, by comparison with which the
value Of all merchandise may be RsOer-
tanned; or it is a sign which represents the
respective values Of all commodities.
y
AS the quantity Of precious metals in
Oreases, that is, the more of them there is
extracted from the mines, this universal
medium, or common sign, will sink in value
and grow less precious.
About 1000, 900 600 Of bullion are OalCu-
lated to have been imported into Europe
from America within less than three GEN.
turies, and the quantity is daily increasing.
The consequence is that more money must
be given now for the same commodity than
was given 100 years ago. A horse that was
formerly worth 910 is now perhaps worth
EGO, and by any failure Of current specie
the price may be reduced to Whist it was.
Yet Is the horse in reality neither desrer
nor cheaper at one time than another, for,
IL the metal which constitutes the coin was
formerly twice az ecarOe as at present, the
commodity was then as dear at half the
price as now 10 is at the whole.
And as to the silver coin, il is enacted by
statute IA. George III, 0. AZ, that no tender
Of payment in silver money exceeding G25
at one time, shall be sufficient tender in Law
for more than its value by weight, at the
rate Of So, I'd an ounce. ="
So that the kings prerogstive seemeth
not TO extend TO the debasing or enhancing
the value Of the coin, below or above the
sterling value, though Sir Mathew Hale ap-
pears to be of another opinion. Note 80,
Lord Hale refers TO the case Of mixed
money in Davies reports, 4s, in support Of
his opinion. Blackstone, vol. 1, top page
3O6, 2O7, 208.

Money is q medium of exchange, q
representative Of value, and q standard
Of payment.

The trouble Is we are still living un-
der the world-old bsrbsric competitive
way Of doing business, which ia based on
the belief that sheep were made for
wolves; under which system we have a
reign Of universal aelfshness instead Of
heslthfulness; eRoism instead Of sltruism.
Instead of contriving how we can help
one another we try how we may prey on
one another.
There are no sheep now, everyone
thinks he is, or has in him, the making
Of o successful wolf. Then the matter is
aggravated by few Of the longssthesded
wolves getting all others in debt to
them. The nation, the state, the Coun-
ty, the city, the township, the school
district, the railroad company, the man.
ufacturing concern, the merchant, the
farmer, the lawyer, the doctor, the indi-
viduRl, all in debt to the money power.
The remorseless, cold, ,bloode1 money
power. All in addition to the ordinary
expenses Of business, having to pay
interest on bonds, notes, mortgages.
No matter il an individual has not o
scratch Of pen against him in the way
Of debt, he has to pay his share, FOR the
price Of everything he buys has to be so
marked up as to pay interest charges.
The whole world Aoundering in q sss of
debt, and calling it prosperity!
Naturally the creditor class rules the
world, no matter what the form OF gov
ernment. 1t is true now as it was thou
sands of years ago. "The debtor is
servant unto the lender" AS an Rddi-
tiOnal sgRravation, the money power has
decided that all obligations must be
paid in q scsrcer and more valuable
coin. So that it will take two or three
times as much labor or products of labor
to pay given debt, and their decree is
registered and made binding by king
and noble, by president and congress-
man.
So everyone must economize, the great
corporations ley of men, reduce wages,
the little fellows follow suit, incomes are
reduced all around, the ability to buy is
reduced all around, then follows greater
economy OF production, greater inability
to buy, consumption continually beCom-
ing less. We have unemployed men, we
have psupers, tram %, criminals, bombs,
q hurrying on TO reign of terror, to
explosion, to destruction Of civilization,
OF government, going down to primsvsl
bsrbsrism, thence to painfully, toilfully,
climb up again to q so-cslled civilization.
Are we to keep going on in this repeti-
tion Of history, the growths, decays and
falls of civilizations, or are we to have
inaugursted a reign Of peace on earth

LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
SyllOgiStiO Arguments Of John ". North
Of NeoshO, Mo.

Major Prsmlss-When the seller offers
TO receive legal tender value for bis
property, and he is 80 paid by the buyer,
the buyer has not violated any principle
Ofrig& or equity.
Minor Premiss-In bargain and sale,
the seller offers to receive legal tender
value for his property.
Conclusion Therefore, in bargain and
sale, when the buyer pays the seller
legal tender value for his property, the
buyer has not violated any principle Of
right or equity.
The owner Of property may offer to
trade commodity for commodity, which
is known as barter and trade. He may
offer it for sale, in which event he offers
to receive in payment for his property it's
legal representative, or money, without
any reference to the value Of the metal
in the representative. The law recog-
nizss these distinctions and simply en-
forces them.
That value does not admit Of stand
ard may be shown by the following argu-
ment:
Major Premise That which is ideal
does mot admit OF standard.
Minor Premise - Value is an ideal
thing.
Conclusion Therefore, value does not
admit Of q standard.
The supreme court OF the United
States, in Parker Vs. Davis and Knox vs..
Lee says:
II 10 hardly correct TO speak Of standard
of value. The constitution does not speak
Of 1t. Il Contemplates standard for that
which has gravity or extension; but value ID
an ideal thing. The coinage acts AZ itl
unit Rs dollar; but the gold or silver
thing we call q dollar 10 in no sense q
standard Of dollar. Il is representative
Of il. ." The eagles coined
after 1884 were not money until they were
authorized by law, and had they been
coined before without q law fixing their
legal value, they could have NO more paid a
debt than unooined bullion, or cotton, OF
wheat.
Major Premise-That which must be-
received in payment Of debt is q stand
ard OF payment.
Minor Prsmise-Money must be re-
Ceived in payment Of q debt.
Conclusion-T Therefore, money is q
standard Of psy ment.
Major Premise-That which has a ls-
gally defined debt paying value Is a
standard OF payment.
Minor Premise-Monsy has o legally
defined debt.paying value.
Observation-Disclosures, money is a
standard OF payment.
MAjor Prsmise-Thst which has q
legally defined debt-psying value is q
function Of Law.
Minor Prsmise-MonOy has legally
deRusd debt.psying value.
Conclunon-There money is q
function Of law.
Major Premise-ThAt which Ia q
fuction Of law has no marketable or COM
mercial value;
Minor Premise-Money is q function
Of law;
Observation-Disclosures, money has no
marketable or commercial value.
Major Premise-Only q commodity
that is unchanginR in value can be q
standard of value.

A STRANGE CoMPLAINT.-The follow
ing is specimen of the frivolous com-
plants often made at police headqual-
tiers: On Saturday night a woman,
nearly white, accompanied by man,
very black, entered the Mayors Office
and asked what could be done with her
escort. She said the man was her hus-
band and she desired to take q walk
and, Notwithstanding her objections,
he persisted in following her. The de-
PENDANT DOTTED his hat and said the
complainant had stated the case cor
rectly. The woman, he said, left their
house for him to scour, which he was
willing to do provided she would re-
main at home. When she went out he
insisted on accompanying her. Capt.
Webster, like Calico of old, drove them
from the judgment seat and ordered
them both to go home and behave
themselves,

large number of passengers, most OF

has called a meeting of the County
school Board at the county courthouse
for the 10Th inst, to settle with the
county treasurer, and to transact busl-
ness generally pertaining to the county
schools. 1t is understood that the
school authorities of the city of Wash
;ngton will this year require all child
rem from Virginia to pay $50 tuition fee,
before they will be allowed to enter the
schools Of that city. This action will
prohibit many children from Alexan-
dria county, and will have a tendency
to fill up the county schools to their ut
most capacity.

Fatal AssAuLr.-The dead body G

FATAL AssAULT.-The dead body CT
Lloyd Vermillion was found by priest
on his way to church early yesterday
morning near Upper Marlboro, Prince
Georges county, Md. 1t was lying in
the road near the town bridge. Several
persons saw Vermillion in Upper MARI
boro Saturday afternoon, and it was
known that he had left for home early
in the evening in company with Ben
jamin Lawson, Asa Tucker and John
Lawson. A jury was summoned and
warrants were issued to carry the men
to town. Amelia Marshall and Kitty
Smith, colored, were the first witnesses
before the ooroner's jury. They swore
that the man was thrown from his
wagon, and after being pitched back
again by Tucker, his groans could be
heard at some distance. Tucker then
testified that the man was never thrown
but when the turn was made by the
wagon, Verm:llion either fell or jumped
and was injured. John e. Lawson at
first denied that he knew ofVermillion's
mishap, or how he left the wagon, but
being again recalled, he said 81 will
tell the truth. Tucker struck Yer
million with his fist, and threw him Off
the wagon and the hind wheels passed
over him. Tucker then got down,
picked up the man, and placed him in
the wagon. The man uttered few
groans. When we reached beyond the
bridge the wagon was stopped and the
body lifted and thrown into the ditch. I"
The jury rendered verdict to the eff
feet that Vermillion came to his death
by violence at the hands of and in the
company of Asa 81. Tucker, Benjamin
Lawson and John E. Lawson. The
men were then placed in separate cells
in the county Jail. The dead man was
about twenty-six years of age. BE
leaves wife and three children. He
is a brother of the -Vermillion boys,
who figured in southern Maryland some
years ago, and his brother, Joe Yer
million, was lynched for burning barns.
