the government is stable one. The
credits Of the Bank of Venice were
maintained at above gold value for
several consecutive centuries-until
the government fell before Napoleon.
We now have numerous kinds of
currency. Please read carefully the
text on all the different kinds (silver
certificates, gold certificates, green
backs" national bank notes, treasury
notes, United States notes, etc., and
then consider something like the fol-
lowing, appropriately embellished by
the finest steel engraving, as a substi-
tute for all the different kinds of cur
rency now in circulation:
On the reverse side there might be
a form to be filed, stating to whom
each individual bill was paid. and what
service or materially the government
received in return for same.
In the present depleted condition Of
the treasury, why not issue a few mil
lion dollars of the above as an expert
ment? 1t would soon be proven that
gold is not necessary as a basis. Bal
ancing the pyramid on the little end"
has always led to panics and disasters.

wish Clearing no INTEREST,". Do you rea-
lie that if our national bonds drew no
interest they would go into circulation
as money, and be blessing instead OF

PROMINENT PAPERS,"
Neither Mould nor Reflect the Senti-
ment OF the Masses.

Neither Mould nor Reflect the Senti-
ment OF the Masses.
The Kansas City Star says that only
two papers of any prominence" con-
demned the action of the President in
sending United States troops to Chi
cago during the strike. So much worse
for the papers of prominence" since
in failing to espouse the cause of the
people, they lost their hold in forming
public sentiment. From this time on,
the great city papers will be held in
lower esteem by the masses, while the
obscure sheets that have been fighting
the battles of the people will grow in
Importance and influence.
The pen is mightier than the sword
when welded in defense of right and
justice, and dissemination of the
truth.
The papers Of prominence are well
come to any credit they may have
gained by espousing the cause of mon
opolies and the unlimited power of the
general government.
The Star forgets that there are thou
sands of papers, not prominent from
the vision of the Star, that are being
red in tens Of thousands of homes, that
are not only moulding public senti-
ment, but have been started in re-
spouse to public sentiment, and which
not only do not indorse the President,
but condemn him in unmeasured terms.
1t is a great consolation that the So
called prominent papers" not only do
not mould public sentiment, but do not
even reflect the sentiment Of the mass
es. Plutocracy can never establish its
Internal sway through the influence of
the metropolitan journals.
Prominent papers, to the last igno-
bic sheet, espoused the cause of King
George, but the colonies, with a high
hand, went out free.
Prominent papers" espoused the
cause of the Shareholders, but the bonds
of the slave were broken by feeble
women and despised men.
Not many wise men, not many great
men, are called to lead humanity to
a higher destiny, because God chooses
the weak things of the earth to con-
found the mighty, and the obscure and
humble men Of the earth that He may
exalt.
We care nothing about the papers Of
prominence" or the men of promin-
ence, since it is not from them that
deliverance can or will come to earth's
toiling millions. We look to the mass
es, and out from the masses a deliverer
will certainly arise and deliverance
certainly come.-Kansas Agitator.

THE Yale student at large has of
late shown no sign Of insufficient
feeding, either when sheltered by his
academic groves or when casually
abroad in the earth on his various oc-
casions; but the local record atfirms
that he is kicking, like the WE'LL
known steer of frequent and familiar
al;usion, at the character of the pro-
vender supplied in his Commons hall,
and on which he is expected to nur-
ture not only his moral and intellect
ual growth, but the qualities which
sustain him in the exercise of football
and in the perilous adventures which
he encounters in his infrequent but
exciting visits to the metropolis. The
students certainly ought to be well
fed. On this point there is not a dis
senting voice among them, and we
think they are right.

Laugh and Grow Fat.

Uncle Sam can take bankrupt rail-
road, run it, place 1t on a paying basis
and turn it over to the stakeholder and
yet these same stockholders laugh a
man to scorn when he advocates the
government ownership of a thing that
Uncle Sam has taken charge Of and
placed on a paying basis for the very
fellows that sunk 1t in debt. II these
same fellows were the only ones that
did the laughing the people would soon
put an end to their mirth by placing
Uncle Sam in charge of the whole
shooting match, but the strangest
thing Of 1t all is that there are so many
damphooles who re-echo the laugh Of
the stakeholder and say that II Womb
never do for Uncle Sam to own the
roads.-Industriallst.

IMPORTANT MEETING.
Reform Press and Industrial Legion AZ
Kansas City.

REFORM Press and Industrial Legion AZ
Kansas City.
The most important part Of the ed
ucational work OF the Peoples party is
done through the Reform Press. In
fact, without the Reform Press the
whole movement would be fiat fail
ure. The Populist papers Of the coun-
try circulate over two million copies
every week. They are depended upon
by reformers for truthful information,
for inspiration, for doctrine, for re-
proof, for enthusiasm, investigation
and nearly all campaign work. Voters
are educated, speakers get pointers
from them, and honest congressman
read the home paper to find out what
the people want. Great responsibility
rests upon the publishers of these pa
pers, and it is hoped that every re-
form editor in the United States will be
present at Kansas City, Feb. %, 1895,
prepared to offer suggestions and ready
to learn Of others. The plan of cam
paign for 1896 will be discussed, and
much other important work performed.
Newspaper men will readily see the
necessity of getting together and We
hope that they will not be content
merely to look on through the enchant-
ment of distance. Come and let US rea-
son together.
The Industrial Legion which meets
at Kansas City on the same date as the
Reform Press is an organization that
should be found in every township Of
the United States.
1t is expected that the constitution
will be revised at this meeting and the
organization be placed on such a sub
stantial footing that the work Of organ
ization will 60 on more rapidly than
ever.
Over $500 recruiting officers have al
ready been commissioned and new

The recently elected president Of
France was arrested as a trespasser in
the grounds of the Elysee palace the
other day by guard not familiar
with his appearance. In spite of his
protest he was placed in confinement
until his identity could be established.
When released, instead Of expressing
annoyance and chagrin, he compli-
mented the guard on his fidelity to
duty. President Faure is all right,
and even small incident like this de-
notes a strong and wise head.

POSSIBLY the story of Captain Drey-
fus is not altogether one-sided. The
French government refuses to show
the evidence and the captain, who
had magnificent military career be-
fore him and who was rich, with a
certain prospect of an income of
$4,000 a year, said: Il have never
run after women; never touched q
card in my life. l had no need for
money" is Dreytus, after all, a

steamship whose engines have given

completely carried away or which has

with another or with berg is help
less thing. Hundreds of lives may
