THEY MUST DIE, THEN, IN THEIR
I>BrIFFE.

The Reform Club. OF New York. has
printed and sent out in general distribu-
ton Mr. w l.. Trenholm's short work on
"The Peoples Money" which is a very
simple and plain exposition OF many Of
tho principles Of subject that it is so
important the people at large should un-
derstand. We quote from it the follow
ing passage:
History records many Instances OF n
currency becoming deprecated. and IN
every instance the laboring classes small
traders professional men. farmers and the
Ike have been the chief victims. ihese
persons constitute the bulk OF every com
munity, and they seldom have the knoNl-
edge skill or opportunity 10 protect
themselves from loss from deprecated
currency. while merchants. whose trans
actions are on large scale, bankers ana
capitalists In large cities, not only pos
Soss the knowledge which enables them
TO detect signs OF approaching deprecia-
ton. but they have also the skill ana op-
portunity 10 enrich themselves under the
very conditions which are ruinous 10 all
other classes.
treason and history alike prove conciu-
slvelv that money liable 10 depreciation
is bad money for the people at large
The longer 81 circulates a full value the
worse and more Aidespread Will be the
evils manifcsting themselves as soo1 as
its defects are revealed. and sooner or
latOr "a NcitftlNe currency VIII surely De
detected and become depreciated
Evcry word Of this is true. We re-
print in this connection an extract from a
report on the currency OF Brazil, which
tho United States Consul at Rio dc ia
metro has just made TO the state Depart
mcnt OF this Government. He says:
Currency in circulation here has no
certain value OF itself. and its value Is
fixed only so far as II has debt-paying
value. That is fixed by legislation Of the
country. It's purchasing power Is such
an unknown factor that no conservative
calculations can be made by INGREDIENTS.
and the result Is that all merchandise is
sold TO the people at a large percentage
of increase over cost. The merchant is
forced TO do this or he may find that
after buying his goods at a fixed sum and
paying for them with a sum having q
certain gold value a. that time that when
the goods are all sold By him the curren-
cy he mas received for them has so de-
preciated in its exchange value that he
is poorer than when he commenced. lie
therefore sells at a profit large enough
to cover possible contingencies.
This constant fuctu&tion OF the value
OF the currency OF the country has not
been produced by pnfavorable lcgisla-
ton. On the contrary. the government
has done its best to make the currency
good for It's fun value by giving IL full
deot-payng power. The giving OF sucn
debt-paying power 10 a currency which
commerce has declined 10 accept except
at constantly depreciating value has
resulted in this country In loss by
creditors OF about e. 20 per cent OF their

The rulings Of Chief OF Police Howard
touching the Sunday law have raised a
howl. and a howl was the inevitable con-
sequence of the administration of the
law. When the customary violation OF
the law was suddenly checked, there was
an object-lesson taught which could
only be taught in that way.
Now. no man can reasonably doubt
that Major Howard is guided solely by
sense OF duty in the course he pursues,
and that his earnest desire is to admin
lister the law so as TO command the re-
epcct and support of all citizens who he
lieve that obedience TO law Is essential
10 security OF person and property.
That the Sunday law may be so strictly
and rgidiy construed a. TO be more than
our people approve. is beyond doubt and
when the opportunity IS given them 10
speak. they will in unmstakan terms de-
mand a modification OF the law which
will make provision for many reasonable
liberties of the people which are now in
general terms forbidden. But these -ca-
sonahle liberties are not now allowed, and

1t should never be forgotten that the
fair and impartial administration Of the

strued TO be-i1 the fundamental princi-
PIE of a free government. 1t was the
absence Of this that corrupted New York
TO it's core: IL was the belief that the

was threatening Richmond with SINH

SHALL THE sOCIALIsTIC DOCTRINES
BE NtI>TAI>EDs

In 1891 the Populist Legislature OF Ne
braska passed an act fixing a maximum
railroad freight rate that made a radical
cut In the rate Of all kinds Of freight In
that State not subject to interstate law.
This bill was vetoed by Governor Boyd.
in 1898. the same body passed the same
bill substantially. and it became a law.
In a contest before the United States CIR
cult Court the enforcement of the law
was enjoined. and the case has now gone
10 and is on the docket OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Tho various
announcements Of constitutional princi-
pies which this tribunal has made IN
connection with this subject within tho
past twenty years have aroused bitter
antagonisms and very widespread dis
cusslon. The court has undergone
number Of changes In its personnel since
these announcements were made and as
the whole subject will come up for re-
view when this case is reached for
argument. some examination OF the sub
1ect may not be out Of place now.
There are two heads under which this
subject is 10 be considered. The Consu-
tuition of the United States confers upon
Congress the power TO regulate commerce
between the States, and no State Legisla-
ture can. therefore. enact any
law which can have any bear

of the subject has been dealt with by
the congressional interstate law. That

on July 3. 1852. when General J. r. Is.
Stuart reached Evelineton Heights. oppo-
site Harrison's Landing where McClei-
lans army had retreated after the seven

shots into the enemy's cncampments were
made with COncrcye rockets. The Outit
for the purpose had been sent him for
trial, ana was operated. IL I remember
correctly under the direction OF Tor

The effect OF the fire was satisfactory
so far as the enemy was concerned, but
the rockets developed such an erratic dis
position. after striking. TO return to their
friends for final explosion, that General
Stuart considered the trial a failure, and
or0ered its discOntinuance.
