The Money Question.

NO. V.-PAYING TWO DOL. LARS FOR ONE.
 No treatment of the coinage ques- tion is fair and sufficient that leaves out the matter of debt.
 Gold and silver are the constitu- tional money of this country, and the people have the right to pay their debts in either or both at their op- ton. When gold Is cheaper than silver, they have the right to pay in gold. When silver is the cheaper, then in silver. If, when silver is the cheaper, the government debars them from the advantage by refusing to coin silver for them, thus compell- ing them to pay in the dearer metal, it is an injustice and oppression.
 And yet. this is the very thing the government is doing today. It forces the people to discharge their debts in gold or at a gold standard which is paying two for one since a gold dollar is worth twice as much as silver dollar.
 To state the matter in another way, it takes twice as much product of labor to pay debt under the gold standard of values as it would take under silver standard-so that the government is forcing the people to pay s worth of sweat for every dol lar of funded debt they owe.
 And the funded debts of the coun- try make an enormous aggregate. The railroad bonds alone amount to S5,OOO,O00,O00-6ve billion dollars; and the national, state, city county, town and school disrict debts to- gether with the debts of other pub lie and semi-public corporations are as muce more. This makes a total of Sl0,0000O00O0-ten billion dollars, with an annual interest charge of S50O,0O0,OO0, which has to come out of the sweat of the people.
 But it is being paid in gold, or at gold standard and 1t has been SO paid ever since 1873; and as the com mercial value of the gold dollar is twice as grcat as the silver dollar, the people arc really discharging this enormous funded obligation at the rate of 7 for 1. That IS, they are paying Sl,00U,0O0,0O0 worth of sweat a yesr in interest and twenty billions worth of sweat to discharge the principal.
 In 1878, when silver was dropped from the coinage, the national debt was Sl, l,7l0,000,000.
 The price of wheat in 1873 was S1.31 per bushel-in 1894 it as only 67 cents bushel-a falling of of about one half.
 The price of cotton in 1873 was 20 cents a pound-and in 1894 it was 2 cents a pound-a falling of of nearly two-thirds.
 It would have taken about twice as much Western wheat and nearly three times as much Southern cot ton to pay this debt in 1894 as in 1873.
 That is it would only have taken I.3l5,000,000 bushels of wheat III 1873; in 1894 it would have taken 2,552, ,0O0.OOo bushels.
 The debt could have been paid with 100000 bales of cotton in 1873; it would have taken 4S,0OO0O0 bales in 1891.
 Since 1873 there has been paid on the national debt in principal and interest over two billion dollars g, 100000; and yet it would take more cotton to pay the balance in 1895 than it would have required to pay the whole of it in IS73.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Nc. x.-MONEY AND SOvER- EIGNTTY

ElUNlI |.
 The coming of money is and al ways has been a function of sover- eignity. Caesars image and super scriptIon on the Roman penny clear ly denoted Caesars supremacy and the eagle or goddess of liberty, with the words United States of America" on our coins, not only makes them lawfnl money of the country, but guarantees their weight and fineness.
 But the issue of representative paper money is a function of sover- signity also, and banking corpora tions and individuals are not allI wed to issue such money without an act of Congress or the state legislature.
 Our experience shows that the entruStment of this vastly important right to private individuals and cor porations is unwise, for the individ- uals and corporations often abuse the authority committed to them. It is a part of the sovereignity, and they sometimes employ it against the public good; as when, under President Arthur's administration, the eastern national banks attempt ed to defeat and did defeat the Car lisle 3 per cent bond bill by sudden ly contracting the currency volume, to the serious injury of the country.
 The government sho id furnish all the money of the country. It alone coins metal money and it alone should issue representative paper money. Not that it should go into banking. It shonld simply receive deposits of metal money and keep them safe in its strong vaults and issue paper money notes agains' them. The banks should receive deposits and make discounts.
 The people grow more and more averse every year to handling large sums of hard money. They prefer good paper currency based on de- posits of hard money and redeem able in hard money on demand.
 At present we have five kinds of paper money, viz. Greenbacks or treasury notes, gold certificates, pay able in gold; silver certificates, pay able in silver; currency certificates, and national bank notes. Under a wise system based on the free coin age of both silver and gold there would need to be only one kind coin certificates, issued against and redeemable in gold and lver money.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

tie concern, if both metals are given equal freedom to assert their value.
 lf both were accorded the right of free and unlimited coinage, the parity may be left to take care of itself.
 On the contrary, if the co-equality oi the coinage rights of the two met als is destroyed; if one is deprived of this coinage right, the parity is uusettl ,d.
 This IS the very situation we see, at present, in this country. The par ity between the two metals has been unsettled-wantonly and deliberate ly unsettled by the government itself. The government has degrad- ed it's own money, by taking away from silver it's ancient right of coin age. Gold is still coined freely, but silver Is not.
 The chief use of silver is for mon- ey, and when it is forbidden to be coined into money, is t strange that 1t should lose half its Valuei Any other commodity would meet the same fate, if treated in the same way The chief use of wheat is for bread, and of cotton for clothing. Suppose wheat was forbidden to be ground into flour, and cotton to be woven into cloth, would not these two great staples of our agriculture lose a half, or three-Iourths of their value.
 
 And the most ludicrous feature of the matter is that of those who deride silver as cheap and degraded, are the very persons who persuaded the government to impair its value a4d rob 1t of its dignity. They de- bar it from the mints-and refuse 1t the ancient right of being coined into money, aud then sheer at it be- cause 1t IS cheap.
 The true remedy for the present disparity between the two metals is to remove the stigma from silver, and give 1t d chance. We can maintain the parity" as it is called, by mak ing silver money redeemable in gold but this would be unjust and pre- posterous-unjust, because forcing the people to keep on paying their public bonded debts at a gold stand ard of S2 for Sl; preposterous, be- cause it would be redeeming that which, itself, is redemption money.
 The only dollars in the country are silver dollars-and they bear on their face, this superscription: UNITED STATES OF AMERI-
 CA, ONE DOLLAR"
 These are redemption dollars-the only dollars known to the American people; and to redeem them in some thing else, or even to admit that they need to be redeemed, would be as absurd as to measure an official stamped yardstick by some other yardstick, instead of measuring all other ' ardsticks by it.
 Give silver back its right: rest ore it to the privilege of free and unlim- tied coinage at the lawful ratio of Is to 1, and the question of maintain ing the parity can be considered afterwards, if there be such 8 ques- ton left.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

WAR ON WIFE-BEATERS.
Judges in New York will be Lenient No
Longer.

New York, Sept. 5.-Woe to the wife
beater and the man who maltreats his
beast who fall nowadays into the clutch
eS of the law.
The new justices of the court of spe-
ciaal sessions have instituted an order
that has stricken terror into the hearts
Of such evil doors.
1t is scarcely two months since the
new magistrates occupied the bench,
and still less since they put into effect
their ideas, but they are ready to assert
that there has been a marked decrease
in the number of wife beating and cru
city to animals cases brought before
them in the last three weeks. The JUS
tees do not ascribe the falling off in
these cases to a sudden turn in human
nature for the better. but to the salu-
tary effect of heavy sentences.
No loophole Of escape is left for these
misdemeanantS. Where a complaint
has been made and the wife refuses 10
press the charge, the alternative is Civ
en- of being locked up herself. This is al
ways effectual. In many cases Justice
Jerome lectures the man and suSpends
sentence, warning him in a manner
about which no mistake can be made
that II he appears in court again the
maximum penalty Of one year viii be
imposed. He is allowed TO go but told
that he has a string around him., and
that he must not forget Il.
One man only has forgotten II 81 far,
and he was sent 70 the penitentiary the
other day for one year on the suspended
sentence and fine of $500 for the sec
ond offense.
Justice Jerome says II is better that a
hundred families should suffer. if, in the
end, the severe sentences put an end TO
the crime.
Let the wife and children go 10 the
charities and correction he says. IN
all great movements forward individ-
uals must suffer for the benefit OF the
class and 1t must be so in this case.
To see these women here in court day
after day, careworn, ill-fed. with black
eyes and cut faces, is enough 20 make
any man who wishes 70 see justice done
determine 10 put an end to such posi-
bilities as far as II lies in his power 10
do so" There are two classes OF wife
heaters. those who are kind 10 their
wives when sober. but brutal when
drunk. and repentant afterward. and
the class who beat their wives habitu-
ally when not intoxicated. and for the
pleasure OF II. The first are. in nearly
every case. severely lectured and let go
with a warning that il they appear in
court again they VIII not be spared. The
other class are sent 70 prison.
