yer declined from % to p per cent?
The relation between silver and cotton
and wheat remaining the same, a given
quantity Of gold would purchase 20 to
% per cent more of wheat or cotton
To meet this decline our wheat and
cotton fell proportionately. How dc
they explain the fact that England can
come here, buy our silver bullion at
about 80 cents on the dollar and ship
it to India and swap the 30 cents worth
of silver bullion for bushel of wheat,
thus forcing American producers of
wheat to sell at the same price? If the
closing of the Indian minis to silver
caused it to decline 20 to % per cent,
and with it wheat, cotton and other
staple products, the supply remaining
the same, would not the reverse be true
upon the reopening of the Indian minis
to free coinage-towit, a rise of % to %
per cent in the value Of silver and like
wise of wheat and Gotten? OF these
facts an intelligent people viii ask an
explanation Of those who say that the
price of silver bears no relation to that
of cotton and wheat.

In the foregoing it is seen that rs
years ago Mr.. jefferson believed the
supreme court, sIttle by little, would
ultimately destroy the republic and
establish a centralized despotism-and
what he feared has come to pass. The
belief exists that the supreme court is
utterly debauehed-is dishonest, disre-
CARDS justice and is an enemy Of the
liberties of the people.
The plutoeratic class-the money

are in sympathy with the supreme
court to destroy the constitution. They

WORDS or WISDOM.

To bear is to conquer our faith,
Life is bali spent before we know
what it is.
Self love is not so great a sin as self
forgetting.
He who hath most of heart knows
most of sorrow.
Night brings out stars as sorrow
shows US truths,
Rigid justice toward men is the great
est injustice.
One-half the world knows not how
the other half lives.
Everyone complains OF his memory
and none of his Judgment.
Who hath not known ill-fortune
never knew himself OF his own nature.
He who is most slow in making a
promise is most faithful in its perfor-
nance.
Long is the night to him who is
awake; long is a mile to him who is
tired; long is life to the foolish.
There is very little influence where
there Is not great sympathy. Hence
we are seldom influenced much BY
those who are our seniors in age.
Let a wise man blow off the impuri.
ties of his self, as a smith blows off the
Impurities Of silver, one by one, little
by little and from time to time.
Never hold anyone by the button or
the hand in order to be heard out; for
if people are unwilling TO hear you,
you had better hold your tongue than
them.
Look not mournfully into the past;
it comes not back again, Wisely i'm.
prove the present; it is thine. Go forth
to meet the shadowy future without
fear and with a manly heart.
He that wants good sense is unhappy
in having learning, for he has thereby
only more ways of exposing himself;
and he that has sense knows that learn
ing is not knowledge, bat rather the
art of using it.
AS the lily will grow full Of sweet
perfume and delight upon a heap of
rubbish, thus the disciple of the truly
enlightened shines forth by his wis
dom among those who are like rubbish
among the people that walk in dark
ness.

AN UNBIASED OPTNT0N

The British government appointed a
commission to inquire into the relative
value of gold and silver, and why the
decline of the value of the latter metal,
and this is what the commission re-
ported to parliament;
"We are Of the opinion that the true
explanation of the phenomena which
we are directed to investigate is to be
found in a combination of causes and
cannot be attributed to any one cause
alone. The action of the Latin Union
in 1873 broke the link between silver
and gold, which had kept the price of
the former, as measured by the latter,
constant, at about the legal ratio, and
when the link was broken, the silver
market was open to the influence of all
the factors which go to effect the price
of commodity. These factors happen,
since 1873, to have operated in the dir
ection of fall in the gold price of that
metal, and the frequent fluctuations in
its value are accounted for by the fact
that the market has become fully sen
sitive to the other influences to which
we have called attention above"
The gold standard commission agrees
with the silver men of this country
in that the "link between silver and
gold was broken in 1873" It also
agrees with them that the prices of the
two metals had sheen constant" until
destroyed by legislation. Bimetallists
style it 'the crime of '73."

CONSIDERING THR GnsT

That the bond issues are in reality a
premium now being paid for the privi-
lege of using gold as a money metal is
apparent to everyone. In his speech at
Lacelde, No, last week, Richard P.
Bland euunciated the same truth when
he said: 'EVery bond issue means a
premium on gold. We are paying a
premium for gold every time we sell
bonds to secure it, Mr.. Bland also
stated that when gold is withdrawn
from the bank of France in consider
able quantities, the officials charge a
premium. The bank of England, in
protection Of itself under similar cir
eumstances, raises the rates of ex-
change, which is equivalent to a premi-
I'm. The United States is the only ma
ton that furnishes gold free of charge
to the business world with which to
settle individual accounts abroad and
is then compelled to charge the loss of
the transaction to the public.
So much for the starting point of the
argument. Just what is the actual cost
charged TO the nation for the privilege
of using gold may be a subject for some
discussion. If the bonds are paid at
maturity, the charge will be the annual
interest rate. In the last issue Of bonds
3,500,000 ounces of gold were purchased
amounting in coinage value to s65, l1G,-
255. The bonds run 80 years, with in
terest payable at the rate of 4 per cent
per annum. The syndicate, however,
paid a premium upon the bonds
which in effect reduced the interest rate
to so per cent. Conceding that such is
the case, the interest in 30 years
viii amount, not counting in at COLI
pound rates, to 1921 per cent Of the
principal, Therefore, the privilege III |
that instance would amount to more
than the face Of the bond, or more than /
3125 cents per dollar on each issue Of /
bonds amounting to 100000.
4 local bimetallist, talking Of the /
computation, in effect stated that in /
estimating the ratioof expense per dol
lar, the gold coin in the country should /
be excluded; that the expense Of bond |
issues should be charged to the silver
and paper moneys that are now based |
upon gold. If that is done, the rate Of /
exchange would again be higher than
3125 cents per dollar, as gold coin con
stitutes slightly more than One-third Of /
the money Of the nation.

THERE is a learned tinsmith up in
Maine who has some novel ideas about
the dissemination of knowledge He
was brought to light recently by the
discovery of a copy of Millions "PaFa-
disc Lost" sealed up in a tin can,
which was floating down the Penobscot
river. The tinsmith lives in a small
town in the upper part of the lake.
He has hobby-for it may really be
called a hobby-that is certainly orig
inal. He likes to inclose all sorts of
excellent books in tin cans, tightly sol
dered, and so constructed as to float
easily, and set them adrift in the water,
in the hope that they will be picked up
by residents of the many islands at the
mouth of the river, who are far removed
from places of culture, or by sailors,
1t is his idea that books found under
such circumstances will excite the
curiosity Of the discovers and be read.
He may be right.

DUBING the boom in wheat a short
time ago the pIutocretic press devoted
much space to the disparity between
the price Of that cereal and silver, de-
elairing that there was no sympathy
between the price of silver and that Of
farm products. except in the Cog. like
mechanism Of Populist editors heads.
Later events, however, have proven
that The Populist writer's were correct,
for the price has again fallen down to
that Of silver, and promises to stay
there.
