DISCRIMINATION PRODUCTIVE OF
Evil

1t is the history of the world through
out ancient and modern times that
whenever the law of any country dis
eliminates against any person or thing
in favor of another. the degraded thing
or being is of little or no benefit to So
clety or government but invariably
sinks into oblivion. Especially is this
true of money metal. Whenever the
law recognizes one as the essential unit
of value as against all others, it is PLAIN
that the natural consequence is to
greatly enhance the value of the favor
ed metal while the value of the other
is equally deprecated. The truth of
this statement is nowhere more clearly
shown than IN our present financial
embarrassment. The act of 1873 has
made gold THE standard money: the
act of 1898 repeating the Sherman COM
promise act stops the coinage of the
silver dollar and the mining of the white
metal has practically ceased. The re-
peated determinations in favor of gold
have made that metal an instrument
of robbery and plumber and have forced
the miners and laborers of the great
West out of employment and is fast
putting the general government itself
into financial straits. Gold has been
and speculation only en:iching those
who handle the dice, and draining the
country of its products thus depriving
the breadwlnner of his living per cent.
And it is not in money alone that we
find the direful result of discrimination;
it is manifoldly seen in transportation
rates in delivering produce from one
part of the country to another
To discuss discrimination in rail-
road rates in detail would re-
quire considerable space, time,
and references depending as it does, on
localities, companies, etc; but suffice
it to say that the burden of exorbitant
rates always falls upon the man who
is the least able to pay-the producer
while the speculatOr gets the benefit of
the robbery practice.
Coming back TO the money ques-
ton In the discussion of this subject
of discrimination, we cite the gold
speculations during the war period.
At that time the circulation of gold,
as money, almost ceased and became
commodity for speculation. 1t was
sold by the brokers at high premium
in government currency and the people
subsequently paid the price-premium
and all. The currency thus obtained
was invested in government interest
bearing bonds at par, the interest be-
ing paid in gold, and the brokers were
again reimbursed with the same gold
they laid out in the first instance
for the currency. This wholesale rob
berry reached every consumer in the
land and has gone down on the pages of
history as one OF the most damnable
outrages of mo dern Christenddm.
Something equally destructive Will
come out of the present gold manipula-
tions, if not dealt with in statesman
like manner. Beware Of discrimination!

THE committee appointed to in
vestigate Warden Chase recommended
his dismissal to the governor and the
governor acted as outlined by the re-
port. Representative L. p. Wilson, of
Kiowa, this county made a minority
report which is in every way logical
and reasonable. The four members of
the committee who made the majority
report are republicans and have relied
entirely upon convicts, thieves and
prostitutes for the mite of evidence
they claim to have had. One of the
members claims to be a populst but
is a member of the Corning Clover
gang and is in fact dangerous enemy
of good cause. The principal charge
relied upon by the majority of the COM
mittee is that the man who sold beef
and milk for use at the penitentiary
was irregular in weight and measure
ment un-beknown to the Warden.

Not q Lost Art

Archeologists and antiquarisns in
their writings frequently refer to the
manufacture of flint arrow-heads, etc,
as "a lost art;" that is great mistake.
The art is probably lost to the Indians
because they have no use for it. The
stone implements have given place to
those of iron and steel, and the rife
and revolver have supplanted the flint
AK and arrowhead. The art of max
ing them is not lost, however. There
are many collectors of relics of the abb
origines who have studied the art of
working in flint and have become
adopts. In Chattanooga a gentleman
has become so proficient in the art that
he has not only manufactured magnifi-
cent specimens of arrow-heads from
flint, but also from the far more brit
tie obsidian, and even from ordinary
glass
