1T IS THE WAY THEY LIE.

The money mongers are eternally re-
iterating that the demonstration of
silver is in no way responsible for its
present depreciation, or rather, for the
present appreciation of gold: that, in
short, all the low prices of the times
are traceable TO over production, the
law of supply and demand governing
the price of the worlds money just
as inexorably as it does any or all
other commodities.
The iInpudence of the money power
is only exceeded by its greed. There
is nothing more certain in this world
than that the demonstration of silver
increased the value of gold by just the
per cent of the difference in the price
| of the commodities of the country, in
Guiding labor, from what they are now
and what they were ten years ago.
1t is the simplest proposition possible
and no man of ordinary comprehan-
sion or observation ought to fail of
grasping the fact. For illustration.
Silver and gold are money metals of the
corn are the bread grains Of the world.
Corn and wheat must be ground before
they are ready for use IS food, just
as silver and gold must ne coined be-
fore they are ready for use as money.
Now where is the man so stupid as not
to understand that if law should be
passed putting a stop to the grinding
of corn that such law would not only
reduce the value and price OF corn but
enhance the price of wheat by just so
much as the corn eaters were cOmelled
much as the corn eaters were compelled
corn as wheat had been used then the
difference effected in their values
might be from fifty 10 one hundred per
cent, as in the case of gold and sill

chasing power of gold up 80 - present
abnormal Importance, but a shortage
OF money-supply,-of redemption
money or primary money. The law
of supply and demand applies TO silver,
of course, as to all productions, but
Free Coinage means an unlimited de-
mand for Il metal which can only be
produced in a limited way, therefore
Free Coinage would in eXhausting the
supply, increase the market price. No
money monger has ever been able to |
gainsay so simple proposition, a
proposition which contains all the milk |
that there ever was in the silver cocoa
nut
This last fact is no more clear than |
that the demonstration of silver re-
duced by One-half the entire volume of /
redemption money of the United States, |

itself, and redeemable, too, in gold.

GOING TOO FAR.

There is talk of passing a bill in
troduced at Topeka, increasing the
school levy in cities OF the first class.
We think the movement an unwise one,
and that the taxpayers of Wichita
will second our motion that our sena-
tor and representatives set down on
the scheme. The reason why they
should do so are as thick as buckle
berries. In ordinary times the present
levy is Suflicient-more than abundant
In ordinary times the levy can be paid;
but in times like the present, when
every piece of live property is assessed
propOrtiOnately higher than dead or
speculative property, and when a
large er cent of the taxable property
is delinquent leaving those who can
pay to make up such deficiency, there
is little sense or justice in adding to
their burthens. Everybody is forced
to cut down, to do Oh less, and 10
deny themselves in every way. Why
not the public schools? As 4 rule,
the school board of towns and cities
are not made up of the heavy tax
payers, but generally of ward politi-
clans who would expend twice as
much If the money was but provided.
There is no telling how much they
would spend. They would spend the
entire levy if they had TO establish a
central college and high school or
normal in each ward, with extra draw
ing masters, musical directors and claS-
steal professors for every room.
Kansas is doing her whole duty by
her public schools and more. The
state educates the teachers who are in
turn employed at good salaries to edu-
cate the peoples children. So far as
the schools of the firSt-claSs cities are
concerned its no common school edu-
cation, either, but finished scholars.

the old time colleges and academies,

under the pressure of times like these.
when the cry for bread and butter
comes from the one-half and a wall
of fear of bankruptcy and ruin from
the other half. Economy rather than
added expense should characterize the
aim and work of school boards as of
all other public officers.
