THE POUND OF q EsH

The London Daily News hit the bulls
eye with a center shot when in speak
ing Of Balfour's position it declared
that "bimetallism spells ruin for the
great creditor nation of the world. -
Everybody owes England. Streams of
gold pour into her from every country
OF the world, as interest on bonds, in
terest on stocks, interest on mortgages
and interest upon interest. She will ac-
cept and take nothing but gold.
A gold standard means that the bor-
rover shall pay for the privilege OF re-
naming in debt. But Balfour has spok-
en- for new government, and the man
ufacturers and agriculturists of Eng
land are to remain the slaves of the
money owners. So it will soon be in
the United States. To be a debtor is
to be slave. The next logical step
would be to sell the debtor to the cred
itor as was formerly done in Mexico.
But there is no necessity for this. The
present slavery of the debtor is the
same in essence. The government con-
slders only the interests of the money
power, the creditor. The debtor and
his distress is unworthy of attention,
simply because being poor he is power
less. All the creditor has to do is to
watch his struggling debtor and see
that he obtains no even chance to pay
his obligation. The creditor not only
wants the debtors pound of flesh but
the blood that flows from the cutting
OF it away. The BaIfour episode in
parliament has served to emphasize
the fact that the British point of view
on this monetary subject is purely that
of the creditor, and the British reliance
for maintaining practical monometal-
ism is the threat to withhold further
loans il the debtor nation does not stop
talking about giving full practical eff
feet to the option involved in bimetal-
lism.-Wichita Eagle.

Tonk Mills saved the county more than

comparing his administration with
Dobson's administration. In other
words we mean that Tonk Mills did
not charge the county with mileage
that he never travelled as Dobson did.

treasury should redeem such notes

at his discretion" Yet the only pro-
vision made by the act for supplying
the coin for redemption purposes was
to coin bullion, for the purchase of

selves opposed to such a gathering. 1t
remains for Uncle Sam to take the bull

free coinage and again demonstrate to
the world that this nation is capable of
doing her own business. We taught
