HONEST MONEY THE BEST.

Those who place their hopes for bet
ter times on the success of the new
party-the l6-to-l silver for gold
dreamers will hang them on fragile
supports Money may be more plen-
tiful by the unlimited coinage of silver,
but before citizens will be benefited
thereby they must have something 10
give in exchange. and the value must
be commensurate with the labor be-
slowed on the commodity befo' busi-
ness will be very profitable. 1t is not
so much the scarcity Of the circulating
medium during the past two years
that has caused depression in trade as
the depreciation of values consequent
on the change of the country from a
protection to free trade policy. Pol
Itical economists say that certain met
ais are too plentiful to be used as coin,
and scattering over the country q
quantity of deprecated currency will
make it less valuable. Silver is at par
now because it may be redeemed in
standard gold at any time; but when
it stands alone it must seek it's level of
value in the countries of the world.
Then the laborer must give more work
for dollar, and this will buy less in
the market. Money is not value
simply convenient representative of
value-and when this is detased by
unwise legislation the FIRST to feel the
disastrous results are wage earners,
who are the persoos to furnish the
basis by which the cost of any article
is estimated. Honest money is the
only kind that the poor man should
desire. 1t gives him fair wages for
his labor, and will stand on its own
merits the world over; but when it be.
comes inflated or deprecated, the gates
are open to spectators, and those
who must work or starve are taxed to
fill the coffsrs of the wealthy. An il
Iustration of this was had during the
civi, war, when the paper currency was
manipulated by Wall street to its own
and we shall have a repe-
tition of the same condition of affairs
with unlimited coinage in operation.
Silver now is as good as gold, because
the United States treasury is behind
every dollar issued; but when 1t is
so;ned at the ratio of 16 to or any
other, without the holder having the |
option Of having every dollar re-
ieemed ia standard money, it will be
'ar different, !

ISRAELITES.

The anti Semitic craze has again
broken out in the German reichstagg,
and bitter speeches have been made
against the Jews. In Russia q more an.
tagonistic feeling prevails, and they
have been bitterly prosecuted for long
time. 1t is within the recollection of
some now living that the race was per-
secuted in every country in Europe,
and the first tolerance given them in
Great Britain was through the efforts of
the elder Disraeli, father of the earl of
Beaconsfeld. Since that time there
has been no discrimination against this
prosecuted people, and they have oc-
cupied high official positions in different
parts of the empire. In the United
States we believe there never has been
any genaral antagonism towards He
brews, and they have always enjoyed
the same rights and privileges as other
citizens
Jewish persecution dates back to
the Crusades, and existing in the nine
teenth century it must be considered
relic of mediaeval barbarism. While
other cruel practices have been abol-
ished, this alone seems to remain, and in
countries where modern civilization has
made most rapid advancement. With
an ignorant people like the peasants of
Russia, there might be some excuse
for prejudice against race of people
whose habits of industry and economy
secures them wealth and independence:
but with the philosophical German such
apologies do not apply. No in,elli-
gent man should discriminate against
his neighbor on account of birth or ma
tionallty, and the only criterion of ex-
cellence should be integrity or honesty.
The characteristics of Jews are such
as make them advisable acquisitions in
the development of any country. They
are industrious, enterprislng and of
intelligence. AS sub
jects of Great Britain and citizens of
the United States they have been loyal
to the government, and their social |
condition is as high as any other class.
They are never seen in the army of
tranps, there are few criminals, and
they are seldom known to ask or receive
charity. Tracing their origin back to
the dawn Of history, they were wor-
shippers of the true God while the
other nations were sunk in tho lowest
depths of superstitious idola.ry.
Amidst the unceasing prosecutions of |
long centuries, and of all peoples, they |
have preserved their identity of race
and purity of religion, and today the
same lessons of morality and benevo-
lence are taugh. in the synagogues as
were preached by Moses and Aaron in
in the deserts of Arabia,
when Isis and Osiris we're the gods of
Egypt and the Oympian Jupiter and
Juno, Apollo and Minerva were the
deities of Greece.
