"MoNEv ANo eANKlNo."
A Excellent Treatise on the Science a
Money By Horace White.

Money By Horace White.
One Of the most complete works Of its
kind ever published in this country is
"Money and Banking" by Horace
White. It Is both historical and philo-
sophical, and because Of logical arrange:
ment Of subjects and topics, incidental
definitions and explanations Of words
and terms used, and wide scope-em-
bracing discussions Of nearly every kind
Of money and banking system tried or
proposed-it is as we'll adapted for the
use Of college students and general read
ers interested in economic subjects as
for professors and experts on financial
questions A quotation from Mr.. Whites
preface will give an idea Of this latest
and very timely work on money:
ION the 25th Of February, 1869, the
government Of the United States made
It's paper evidences Of debt legal tender
between individuala The nation was
thus sent upon the wrong road, and has
been toilng in q wilderness ever since:
In addition to the injustice which 1t
wrought, the legal tender act filled the
public mind with misconceptions and
decisions on the subject Of money. So it
came to pass that although we adopted
irredeemable paper with the greatest re-
luctanoe we were willing to founder In
It II years after the supposed necessity
for it had passed away. Then, partly BY
design, partly by chance, we resumed
specie payments, but the people had to
= large extent lost sight Of the fundA-
mental principles Of money. The mis-
conceptions and delusions remained, the
most dangerous and widely prevalent
being the notion that mere quantity ia
a desirable thing and that the govern
ment can produce quantity and ought to.
"It is the aim Of this work to recall
attention to first principles. For this
purpose it has been deemed best to be-
gin at the beginning Of civilized life m9
this continent and to treat the subject
historically. The science Of money Is
much in need Of something to enliven
it. II anything can make it attractive,
it must be the story Of the struggles OF
our ancestors with the same problems
that vex us. The reader will find ati
abundance Of these in the following
pages. Indeed a complete and correct
theory Of money might be constructed
from the events and experiences that
have taken place on the American con-
tinent, even if we had no other sources
of knowledge. This may be said OF the
science Of banking also. All the wisdom
and all the folly Of the ages, as to these
two related subjects, have been exploit
ed on our shores within the space Of less
than 800 years " ;.
Mr.. White believes that it was great
mistake for the government to engage
in the banking business and that the
normal and proper business of the treas
ury is the collecting and disbursing Of
public revenue. He sees but little pros
pect of banking and other reforms or
even for clear thinking on currency
questions until we retire and cancel
the legal tender notes and restrict tho
treasury to the duties for which 1t was
orioinallv and solely deejpued.

COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The first steps of the association are
the most important. Men must be
selected because of their integrity and
honesty and success in business ven
lures to insure confidence and the CO.
operation Of the citizens. Too often
men forget themselves and do not
speak plainly as to the merits or de-
mirits of men for certain positions. 1t
is plain, straightforward matter of
business and should be done on
business principles. The success of
the enterprise will depend on the
ability and experience and honesty of
the men or man in charge more really

UNITING FORCES.
TWO REPUBLICAN CLUBS IN THE
CITY AND MORE TO FOL-
LOW.
Interesting Meeting Held at the Court
House and Questions of Vital Interest
Discussed.
THE DAWN OF LIGHT.

Republican club met at court house
last Wednesday evening, President DIR.
E. f. johnson in the chair. A very
large number of the members We're
present. The following gentlemen
made speaches: Edward Willet, Jacob
Robinson, Richard Williams, VIM.
Frazer and H. III. Lewis. Each
speaker dwelt on the necessity of con-
csntrating the Negro vote-that every
voter should attend the caucus on next
Monday night and that the delegates
to the county convention should use all
honorable efforts to get one or two
Negroes on the county central com
mittee and the same is asked of the
Negro delegates to the state conven-
ton. All the Negro delegates through
out the state should be united on this
question. We care not from what
part of the state they may come. just SO
we are represented in the state central
committee.
The subject for the next meeting is
''The Reason Why the Negroes Should
Stand Together and Unite Their
Forces" Speakers are T. E. Barton,
W. III. Scott, II. Il. Lewis and John
Hardy. Mr.. Frazier discussed the
question of what Shall We Do for
Our Boys and Girls. He made some
well directed remarks as to the ex-
istence of present conditions-one OF
which was the fact that men are
crowding the young people to the rear
who are not and cannot be permitted
to hold positions above that of menials.
Those VINO have educations should be
pushed to the front in all worthy cases
by their parents, friends. and those
who have the interest of the race at
heart and desires that it shall ascend
in the various avenues Of business,
social and moral life and that the
environments thrown around the
young people shall make them good
men and good women-make happy
home builders. Mr.. Frazier's remarks
were well received as were also the re-
marks of Messrs. Willet, Jacob Robin
son, Richard Williams and II. r..
Lewis.
All are cordially invited to attend
the next meeting and listen TO the dis
cussions, which are always practical
and helpful to people living on earth
at the present.

Postal Rule Making Typewriter Imita-
tions First-Class Matter.

The recent ruling of Postmaster
General Wilson, making limitations Of
typewriting go as first-class instead OF
third. seems to be we'll received by the
business men most interested in its OPP;
Grafton says the Chicago Tribune. The
new rule has but few detractors aside
from the representatives of mime0-
graph interests. w. G. Arnold, the;
western manager of the A. B. Dick
company, thought the order would
cause a vigorous kick from business
men all over the country.
The order Is evidently an attempt
to increase revenue" said Mr.. Arnold.
"and is contrary to the postal rules,
which classes mimeograph and hekto-
graph work as third-class matter.
South Water street and board OF trade
firms will find their postal bills
doubled, and some OF the big depart
ment stores will be out thousands of
dollars"
Harry G. Selfridge, manager for Mar
shall Field & Co., thought the new rul-s
ing was simply aimed at Objectionable
mail matter-patent medicines, for ex-
ample
st has no effect on us" said Mr..
Selfridge, because all our circulars
are sent with a 2-cent stamp anyhow.
That insures some attention from the
recipients and makes them look less
like Implications"
I'VE always send our price lists first
class" said w. G. Thorne of Montgom-
cry Ward & Co. 1--WE have never had
but one collision with the postal serv-
ice. Some of our circulars were printed
by printed stamp and the authorities
decided them first-class matter. We
fought the case, but were defeated.
In South Water street. where Mr..
Arnold had predicted the greatest
trouble. everybody seemed delighted
with the new order Verhalen Bros
said the ruling would put premium
on clean, well-worded, and well-prs-
pared advertising.

We were mild in the matter, tor there
was not only saloon on wheels, with
fifty case on board, but red-hot
'.crap" game in one of the cars-and
which the excursion manager knew
was to be the day before. Sixteen
cases of beer were sold and three half
barrels. which would indicate that a
mistake had been made in the size OF
the jag appetite. Another thing hap
pened that damns the whole thing:
One or two gold cure graduates were
tempted by the 'sshow down. of things,
and have been on "biiing'' drunks
nearly ever since. Now, we have but
one destination to fellows who will
sell gold cure graduate anything in

there has been no ice for some time.

ECHOES FROM MAHASKA.
Complimentary Notice of the Negro Editor
Recently Moved "Down the Alley
From the Oshal0osa Times.


Recently Moved "Down the Alley"
From the Oskaloosa Times.
George e. Taylor, of the Negro So
licitor, was the manager and chief mo-
gul of the Sunday excursion concerning
which the Oskaloosa Herald comments
thusly:
In view of the material fact that fifty
cases of beer and some kegs were put
on the train Sunday morning, for the
Burlington excursion, it seems proba-
BILE that there was no drouth on that
train as long as the prescription lasted.
1t also appears quite certain that Sun
day excursions, with such trimmings,
are the kind of things that all orderly,
self-respecting people will do well to
keep out of. In a general way, under
the best possible circumstances, Sun
day excursions are not a good thing,
and when you soak them down with a
thousand or twelve hund-jorums
of beer, and plenty Of bottles on the
side, the thing becomes an invitation
on wheels for the same kind of a time
that Hoyt had on the Bowery. Keep
away from them
