Queer Change of Senator Mills on tn

Queer Change of Senator Mills on thA
Money Question.
Senator Roger @. Mills, of Texas,
has changed front and now appears for
free silver coinage. Mills has been one
of the most consistent and aggressive
of the free silver leaders. He repre-.
sents section strongly imbued with
the silver idea, and his conversion 70

which he has just left The change is
not more noteworthy than the great
ability displayed by the neophyte in
setting forth the sound money side OF
the question. 1t is one of the most
convincing statements that has yet
been made.
But it passes the understanding why
the senator should at the end come
out in favor of employing silver as a
subsidiary coin for such additions to
the monetary circulation as are needed.
He is opposed to any bank-note system
apparently, and would go back to the
Bland Allison silver purchase act or a
similar contrivance for any needed
supply of new money above what gold
is able to supply. Here we are all
choked up with superabundance OF
deprecated silver which is only kept
at par with gold by extraordinary
measures, and yet Mills would revive
i the acts which brought us into this
predicament

besides gold for needed additions te

states of the west, and has apparently
found what Chairman Carter found.
He says:
Zone of the things that especially in
terests me is the fact that the country
is rapidly getting over its absolute and
unqualified demand for free silver. 1t
Is getting to see that free silver is not
coming, and that this fact is prov

attention to other undeveloped re-
sources. Heretofore. when there was
market for silver at good prices, ell
attention was turned 20 that one in
dustry. Now that silver mining has
become less profitable, the people are
turning their attention to other in
dustries, such as the mining of gold,
the raising of stock, the development
of other mines and manufactures, l
have no doubt that the result viii be
such development of these other in
dustries as to render the country thus
affected better off.

Troubles Among the Hairdressers OF
Oiden Times.
A long chapter might be written on
hairdressers, their rights and wrongs
and revolutions; but they have always
been stanch tories in their hatred OF
wigs. England had her wig riot In the
reign of George H.; Milan had hers in
the reign of Maria Theresa. 1t arose
from an audacious attempt by some
restless innovator to cover every
fashionab BILE head in Milan with a wig
of steel or silver wire, warranted to
save some three hours daily toll and
endurance in the dressing of the hair.
Up rose the hairdressers like one man,
and petitioned the empress to save
them from the threatened ruin of their
art.
The empress listened to their prayer,
and straightway decreed that anyone
wearing one of these new-fangled
periwigs must pay fine of fifty
sequins or be thrice scourged IN
public. She further empowered the
police to search private houses for the
offending article, and to destroy it il
found. To this imperial legislation

POVERTY AND MONEY.
Re.ortmg to Cheap Currency Bring'
Financial Disaster

Resortmg to Cheap Currency Brfng'
Financial Disasters.
To urge free coinage of silver at six
teen to one in the hope of giving
money deprecated one-half Is rank dis
honesty. 1t has its origin in the same
old heresy that arose during the period
of deprecated paper money. The free
coinage of silver is off the same piece
of cloth as the greenback expansion OF
1874. Then, as now, the trick OF re-
sorting to cheap money asa means OF
curing the difficulties following after
a commercial crisis is evidence OF lg-
norance as to the cause OF the DIM
culties. But the leading free silver ad-,
vocates of to-day are but the same OLD
s.greenbackers" of several years ago.
The nexus between the rreenback
heresy and the silver heresy is clear
and distinct. Senator Stewart in
speech in congress December 10. 1890,
said:
THE greenback party was the pion-
eer in a movement for relief. fThc
army of contractionists was so well
organized at the time-1s74-that 1t
could not be successfully resisted.)
The greenback party was scattered,
but not annihilated. 1t came into ex-
istence to right great wrong which
still exists"
If anyone supposes that poverty IS
due to scarcity of money" 1t is high
time he began to study the subject OF
political economy. Poverty is lack
of those articles of food, clothing and
necessity which we hope everyone
should possess; but it is not .synony-
| nous with a lack of the medium by
which such articles are exchanged.
What is usually meant by scarcity
of money is scarcity OF wealth To
exchange for money. Wealth is any
article of value. If men have bins
bursting with oats and wheat they have
articles of wealth, and they can easily
get money for them. If a man is poor,
that means that he does not own
wheat or corn, or other property. II
he has no control of such property, OF
course he cannot get control OF money
whether there is much or little in cir
culation. If a man has difficulty
in paying off mortgage, IL
because he is short OF wheat
or some kind of property. 1t woult
do him no good TO increase thu
volume of money over which he cal
get no ownership. If money of value
is increased in amount, why shoult
anyone expect to get more OF 1T an.
more easily than he should expect tt
get more wheat when the annual prod
uct of wheat has been enlarged? III
can get wheat, or money, only by CIV
ing something of value for 1t. Poverty
then, has little to do With the volum
of the circulating medium.
. Consequently, indebtedness cauno
be paid off unless the debtor gets con
{ troll of articles of wealth, that is, un
, less he produces something salable
Increasing the volume OF money vii
not increase his corn crop. And II re
, sorting to cheap money brings abou
, financial disaster, there may be

can produce. We have often seen Il
