When this is done the silver money
will be in the hands Of the poor, who
will suffer the loss. Don't you see its
not the value of the metal on which
the government stamp is placed that
makes money. If the government can
place on it in God We Trust" and
the American Eagle, with the three
letters, Dol, on 46 cents worth OF
silver and it is lOO-centdollar, can it
not do the same by stamping 10 cents
worth. Now theS liver dollar is 46 cents
worth Of silver and 81 cents law. The
dollar or twenty nickles is IA cents
worth Of nickle and 81 cents law. The
greenback dollar is cents worth OF
paper and oS cents law or fat, which
means decree, or it shall be according
to law. Therefore, money is a circu-
lating medium, established by law.
Money is not value, but a representa-.
tive of value. When any kind Of
money is deprived of its legal tender
function it ceases to be money. One
of the fundamental principles Of our
constitution, intended and framed
for our welfare, is that the govern.
ment shall coin money and regulate
the value thereof; also regulate the
value of foreign bills of credit, and
make all laws necessary to carry into
effect the foregoing powers.
One among the first acts OF the ma
tlOnal congress was to follow out the
principles and functions of the consti.
tuition, and in 1892 they passed the
first financial act pertaining to estab.
fishing a currency and regulating the
value Of the dollar, by passing law
and naming the number Of grains tht
silver dollar shall contain-S7li grains
and nine-tenths tine-which was th(
unit Of measure from that date up tt
1873. The number Of grains remain
the same to the present time. Silver
was demoLetzed in 1873. Gold then
became the unit of measure. The pan.
ic which followed then was a full 81,

A Norwegian Gladstone.

The retirement from the active pol
itics Of Great Britain by the great
statesman, Gladstone, reminds me of
the most eminent statesman Norway
has had in this century, Johann
Sverdrup, who, in many respects, may
be compared to Gladstone. Sverdrup's
death only two years ago shut of a
very active life.
The names Of the fathers OF the
organic law Of 1874 are hallowed in
the memory of the Norwegian people,
and since then the little country has
reared large number of able states
men. Johann Sverdrup overshadowed
them all. In political dexterity and
parliamentary skill and eloQuence, he
is without peer in Norwegian his
tory. His breadth Of view, his ag-
gressiyeness, the dash of his parlia-
mentary tactics, his fiery elOquence
and his personal magnetism were so
many revelations to the stolid, sedate
members Of the congress. This was
something new to them. In this new
light, the disOrganized and more or
less antagOnistic Liberal elements Of
the various provinces blended into
one harmonious body. Sverdrup's
political creed became the program
and he, himself, the leader OF a Lib
eral party, whose main element of
strength was the farmers OF the cOun
try. His parliamentary campaign OF
thirty odd years was a succession Of
hard contested battles, beginning
with series OF defeats and ending
with an unbroken chain Of victories.
During all these years Sverdrup has
been the foremost champion of the
Liberal party, the powerful agent Of
every great reform that has been
wrought in Norway, embracing every
phase Of national life. He framed
the constitutional liberty and indie
pendenc Of Norway, a tender plant
exposed to the chilly blasts Of ear y
spring. When he breathed his last
breath the MONDAY sun Of full ma
tional independence and robust con-
stitutional liberty met the parting
light of his large brilliant eyes. His
life work, summed up in brief SEN
tence, is to have made the constitu-
tion of Norway a living reality.
May our young; powerful, hopeful,
eyergrOwing Peoples party in the
near future get many such undaunted
geniuses to champion the cause Of
everlasting freedom from the chains
of the money power, and the outcome
of the combat cannot be doubted.

snakeship started up to deliver another
blow, but. not calculating upon the changed
location of the turtle, his neck instead of
his head struck the now open box" of the
turtle.
Quicker than a flash the shells shut
tightly together and the snakes neck was
caught between then. Wildly the snake
tore about the soft sand of the road, tossing
the turtle hisher and thither, but still the
turtle held fast and the snakes struggles
became weaker and weaker, then ceased
altogether. When the snake had lain quiet
for few moments the shell of the turtle
opened slightly and its bright, bead-lke
eyes peered out. Then he turned around
and looked at the snakes tail, but even
that had ceased to move. Dropping
the neck of his antagonist the turtle
then walked around his prostrate foe, with
triumph in his every motion. An examina-
tiOn of the snake showed that its neck was
completely hattened out where it had been
shut between the turtles shell.

Battle to the Death.

John Munsell, of Whiting, Pa, an old
woodsman and well-known local preacher
has seen many strange events among the
pines, one of the strangest of which was
combat between large blacksnake and
land turtle. The turtle, since its race with
the rabbit in the fables of Esop, has been
accredited with much sagacity, and this tale
fully proves it. When the combat was first
noticed the turtle lay in the middle of
sandy road, his box-like shell tightly closed,
while the blacksnake with his head was
pounding it upon the back with the ham,
mer-llke blows that he can give so forcibly.
When the snake grew tired Of pounding
the turtle would unelose his box and poke
out his head; then the blacksnake would
begin again. This was kept up till the
weary snake no longer noticed when the
turtles head came out. Then the turtle
started drawing along by the side of the
snake toward its head. Again the snake
renewed the attack, and, after several trials,
each time firing out the snake, the turtle
reached point by the snakes side about
six inches from it's head. Here is reached
out it's claw and scratched the snake. His

The Course of Bills through Congress.
North American Rerieu.I

lNUfSt dHtcTtCUu bSCIW.l
The course of bill through Congress ia
most interesting. Take, for instance. a
private bill that has had it's origin in the
Senate land, for the purpose of illustration,
the Senate will do as well as the House, for
in both of these bodies the system is prac-
tically the same). A private bill is, as the
term indicates, for the relief of some indi-
vidual, while general or public" measure
IS far-reaching In its effect. In nine cases
out of ten the Senator who introduces a
private bill Is solicited to do SO by one of
his constituents who wants pension, or
who desires the charge of desertiOn removed
from his military record, or who has claim
against the Government of some kind or
other. The bill may or may not be properly
draughted, but, whether it is or not it is
usually introduced by the Senator without
careful consideration. Any error in language
or intention is left to the committee to cor
rect by amendment There is legend
printed on the bill that the Senator first
asked and obtained consent to introduce the
bill; but, in fact, the Senator does nothing
of the kind. He rises in his place during
the morning hour, when the introduction of
bills is in order, and simply reads the title
of the bill and asks that it be referred to
the proper committee. The title of the bill
is then read by the reading clerk, and the
reference is made in n perfunctory way by
the President of the Senate. This is called
the first reading of the bill. 1t is true that
an objection might be raised to the first
reading OF the bill, but that has not been
done for years, il, in fact, it was ever done
However, this Is safeguard against obiec-
tionable legislation. The reason, perhaps,
why the rule has never been enforced is,
that no bill is ever considered in the Senate
that has not first received consideration by
one of the committees of that body.
