DOES MoNEYNEED REDEEMER
Why the Creditor Glass Wants all Money
Redeemed in Gold.

CC0CCA4CO 44 O40
Mr.. EDITOR:-The government coins
a gold dollar, pays it to a clerk, the
clerk pays it to a farmerfor produce, the
farmer exchanges it for goods at the
retail store, the retailer pays it to the
jobber for goods, the jobber pays it to
the importer and the importer pays it
to the government on import duty and
the government has redeemed it. A
full legal tender paper dollar will per
form every function of the gold dollar.
The government issues a full legal ten
der dollar and pays it to a clerk, the
clerk exchanges it with a farmer for
produce, the farmer buys goods at the
retail store, the retailer pays it to the
jobber on his debt, the jobber pays it
to the importer and the importer pays
it to the government on import duties
and the government has redeemed it.
Each of these dollars have performed
all the functions for which a dollar was
created. Then why redeem one dollar
with another9 The creditor class of
the world has a corner on gold and can
fix it's value. The ability to fix the
value of gold fixes the value of all
forms of money redeemable in gold.
To get the gold on which the creditors
have a corner we must sell our export.
able products in competition with the
civilized world, and those who will
give the most of their products get it.
The greater the demand for gold the
sharper the competition and more of
the products of labor is squeezed into
the gold dollar. This competition has
increased until we have 1913 per cent.
more of the products of labor forced
into the gold dollar than for % years.
The creditor class say you must make
every other dollar as good rs the gold
dollar. They have increased the value
of the gold dollar until it will buy dol
lar wheat for fifty cents a bushel, and
nine cent cotton for six cents. The
creditor class do not care how many
dollars a nation has as long as they can
fix their value. The ability to corner
gold and fix its value gives them a
corner on all other money, as they can
force the price of the products Of the
farm, mine and factory below the cost
of production, and absorb them to cen
ters. The policy of the creditor class
is to corner the redeemer, greatly en-
nance their value by reducing the
value of the products of the farm,
mine and factory and then compel each
government to redeem all other forms
of money in their gold dollars and n
nance their value. This places each
nation at their mercy, as all other
forms OF money r farmedout to them

SCHOOL COM MITTEE.
The Regular Meeting Was Held Yesterday
Afternoon-Routine Business Transacted

The regular meeting of the school
committee was held yesterday afternoon
Mayor Baxter presiding, and all the
members but Mr.. MCGOWAN being pres
| ent
| Mr.. A. B. Hall, reporting for the
Smaller school, presented plans for a
change in the school building, by the
building of a new entrance, with a
principals room over it. The cost OF
this would be about 800, exclusive of
the steam heating. The change will not
only improve much the appearance of
the outside of the building, but will give
a suitable room for the principal. Mr..
Hall explained that such a room was
both desirable and necessary. The COM
mittee voted to recommend this improve
ment to the committee on public build
ings.
DR.. vose brought up the Brackett
street schoolhouse, which was, as to
it's interior finish and its desks, in a
wretched condition. 1t was voted that
the attention of the committee on public
buildings be called to this schoolhouse.
From the North School, Mr.. Brownson
reported that Principal Files was still
sick, with the prospect that he will be
out for some time longer. Superintend-
ent Lord is keeping up the principals
work in his absence. DR.. Vose took oc-
casion to praise the work which the
North school does.
The leave of absence of Miss Blake, of
the Park street school, was extended for
the remainder of the year.
1t was voted to buy wall maps for
the High and North schools.
Upon motion of Mr.. Allan, it was vot-
ed that committee of three be appoint
ed to revise the
Course of Study in the Grammar Schools
The Mayor accordingly appointed
Meesrs. Allan, Vose and Brownson on
this committee.
Upon suggestion of Superintendent
Lord, and ON motion of Mr.. Bradley, it
was voted that special teacher be en-
ployed to go about to the various prima-
ry schools where the principals have no
assistants, and take their places while
they are doing necessary work of the
school. Miss Carrie Gordon, formerly of
the Butler school, was elected to this po-
sition at a salary of $500.
The question of text books on
Hygiene and Physiology.
was brought up. There has for some
time been dissatisfaction with the present
text book on physiology and hygiene
(Smith's Primer) on the part of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
who object to it's teachings on the sub
ject of alcoholic drinks. After some dis
cussion it was voted, on motion of Mr..
Bradley, that the work favored by the
W. G. T. U. (Appleton's Series) be pur-
chased.
Bills to the amount of $9212.65 were
approved.

after the 10Th day of September, 1893.
the date upon which Mr.. Prick, having
heard rumors that employees were
sighting the work, had cautioned the
superintendent to extra care. Secretary
Herbert then stated to the President
that thesdepartment's own proof tended
to show that the Irregularities at the
works ceased about the time Mr.. Prick
had written his letter to the superin-
tendent.
The President in his decision said: Il
am willing to assume that the faulty
construction began on the third day of
Novem Der, 1892, and was corrected on
the 10th day of September, 1893. On all
the armor manufactured for the govern
ment between those dates. think 10 per
cent from the price should be deducted;
The amount so manufactured is reported
to be 2,647, 937 tons, and it's value 81 ,4si, :
1894. Ten per cent of this value is $40, 4S9
and this amount in my opinion should
be forfeited y the company to the ea gGe
according to the above terms.

THE FIELD OF SPORTS
O'Brien the Lewiston Bruiser, Wins
Hard Fought Battle in Boston,

Hard Fought Battle in Boston,
Boston, March 26.-Dick O'Brien of
Lewiston, Me-, tonight knocked out
Billy Hennessy of Clinton, Iowa, the
middleweight champion OF the North
west at the Charles Bank Athletic rooms
before 500 people. The men were to
fight at $50 pounds, but O'Brien was a
little over weight. O'Bren was looked
after by Jack MCGEE and Jack Williams
Hennessey was seconded by Billy
Murphy, Dick Moore and Patsy Kerri-
gan. Capt. Bill Daley was referee. When
the latter presented the two principals.
they were greeted with applause. Both
men were frisky and danced around the
ring at first. Then Hennessey got in
two lightning blows with his left on
O'Brien's face, one of which sent him
Keeling against the ropes. The crowd was
surprised, AS O'Brien was expected to
have matters his own way. In the
second round, Hennessey proved himself
the better boxer and had no trouble in
punching O'Brien's face whenever he
desired. He got in some stiff blows that
tired out O;Brien. O'Brien made rally
in the third round and got in one or Two
good right handlers on Hennessey's
neck. Fighting had been SO fast and
furious that bofn men were breathing
hard. At the close of the round, Hen
Messy gave O'Brien tough right hand
swing on the face. Hennessey recon-
menced banging O'Brien's face in the
fourth. O'Brien stood up under it like
a young bull, seemingly growing
stronger. In the fifth, both men were
weak in the legs. Hennessey continued
to push in his left on O'Brien's nose
every time O'Brien made rush. O'Brien
got in several blows in the sixth, but
Hennessey showed up well before the
round closed. The seventh and eighth
saw more desperate exchanges of blows.
Hennessey seemed to land ofJener, but
did not daze O'Brien. They were I'M
steady at the beginning of the ninth.
There was feeble exchange of blows
with little execution. In the zenith,
Hennessey was sent to his knees by a
wicked right handler in the face. He
crept to his feet before the referee could
count him out. but was promptly
knocked down. He had worked too hard
IN the first few rounds and was now ex-
hausted. In the eleventh. O'Brien
knocked him down again. HeDnessey
arose, but fell to his knees again and
grasped the ropes utterly helpless The
fight was then awarded to O'Brien.
Mike Sears of Lewiston and Dave Ross
of Boston, faced each other in tiresome
contest of twenty rounds, resulting in a
draw.

eoETHEs FAUST.
Scholarly Analysis of the Drama by
Professor Davidson.

|
Goethe students were edited last eve
ming by the first of series of lectures
on Faust, delivered by that eminent au-
| tbority, Professor Thomas Davidson, at
the Second Advent church-and they
| heard just enough to make them wish
for much more. Nearly every seat was
| taken, and the audience followed the lee
| turer with the closest attention.
In this opening lecture Prof. Davidson
considered the prologue, which he lik-
ened to the corner group in Greek ped
iment, and the play so far as the street
scenes of Easter Monday, Faust in his
room with it's medieval lumber, and the
appearance of the black poodle; leaving
his audience in expectation Of the COM
ing of Gretchen upon the stage. He
warned his hearers that they could only
follow him Understandings by aiVclose
study of the playa quite necessary
warning, for the lecture presupposed an
acquaintance with Faust verging upon in
timacy and some familiarity with the
legend; which is, he remarked in pass
ing, about the only Protestant legend we
have.
By way of preface, the lecturer quoted
Madame de Staeps well-known charac-
terization of Faust, and Aristotle's de-
finition of poetry as more serious and
more philosophical than history. Poetry
he held to be the embodiment of the inner
meaning Of things. According. to Goethe
it is the Illumination Of the world.
Faust, Prof. Davidson said, has serious
content, its theme being the emancipa-
ton of the indiviC ual from Institutional
ism. 1t has historic bearing upon the
old struggle between Germanic and IN
diyidualism and Roman Journalism, and
philosophical bearing upon the contrast
and the correlation between the time
world and the space world.
1t will be seen that Prof. Davidson
took his hearers into pretty deep waters.
To follow him profitably one needs not
only knowledge of Faust "a poem
and play, but some acquaintance with
the Technology of German philosophy
and considerable inclination toward
hard thinking.
To those so equipped and with deter
mination to study, the lecture was illum
mating. The lecturer subjected the
work to thorough analysis so far as the
theme was prosecuted last night and
threw much light upon points that must
be dark to the ordinary reader and Ell
tirely obscure to the careless one. He
is remarkably clear in statement, and
easy and unaffected in manner and die
ton. He has, too, the saving gift Of hui
mor-what, the Scotch call ''pawky'' hu-
NOR; lightness of touch refreshing af-
ter the rather elephantine gambols of the
great German.
The second lecture will be given next
Monday evening. The course promises
to be Of great interest, as it will undoubt-
edly be OF very considerable value to
Goethe students; and it cannot fail to be
of some profit to those whose acquaint-
ance with the mighty German is at pres
ent rather an ambition than an accom-
plishmeut.
