than Of having one in the commons Of
Great Britain. Debate in Congress.
If the congressional lines in his state
had been erased, and proportional rep
resentation adopted there, 10000 demo-
Gratis would have been represented in
congress. They certainly had as much
right to representation as those voters
who elected Mr.. Garfield.
II we view the facts as they exist, we
shall see that fundamental principle
Of popular government, that is, the gov
eminent shall derive its powers from
the consent Of the governed, has been
nullifed, defeated and set aside, and the
government virtually overthrown. In
consequence, this has been brought
about by a wrong use Of the ballot, by
which the peoples will has been thwart-
ed, and the weapon for the defense of
their liberties has been turned upon
them to enslaVe them.
Is 1t not time to wake up to this mat
ter? We have been lured away by our
zeal for party, by the false promises Of
ambitious and designing politicians, by
false issues when thier real purposes
have been concealed.
The sacred trust which has been be-
queathed to us has not been guarded.
The liberty for which our fathers sacri-
iced so much of blood and treasure and
pledged their lives and fortunes to gain,
and transmitted to their children in all

Not Enough Gold Produced Annually to

"In his estimate of a $25O,OOO, 900 gold
output five years hence the director Of
the mint is not visionary. This years
yield will probably reach nearly $780,
100000, and the recent gains have not
been far from $2O,OOOOOO a year. It
will be hard after this to get up a scare
about contraction in the gold supply.

tlons will not be desperate enough to
cause panics hereafter. "-Globe-Demo-

o, yes; the scramble for gold among
the nations will stop-when the millen-

gold produced last year will not be
sufficient to pay the regular annual In

million dollars would only pay little
over half the interest for one year at
one per cent-and everybody who Dor
rows or loans money knows that the
rate will average five times one per cent
on all the public and private indebted
ness Of the country.
The paltry 5000, 100000 Of gold would
not pay one-eighth part of the interest
on our debts for single year.
Two hundred million dollars looks big

It would require all the gold money

The man who, with his hands, digs
clans out of the seashore or, climbing
tree, gathers apples, or one who fash
ions hoe out Of hard wood, Is a pure,
simple laborer, and is entitled to what
he gets or makes. The man who makes
such hoe one day, and working with it
the next day, digs twice as many CLAIMS
as when he used his hands alone, is
capitalist and laborer united. He
works a tool, which is capital, the re-
suit Of past labor. He too is an honest
laborer, and entitled to all he gets. A
man who works week and makes ten
such hoes, then joins nine less skilled
men with himself, and they, the ten,
share fairly the product of his hoes
and their toll, introduces cooperation
and a just civilization; system which
seems to hold within itself every posi-
BILE safeguard against misuse and to be
full Of the seeds of all good results.
The man who, haying made such hoe,
lets 1t to another less skilled man to
dig clans, receiving an equivalent for
its use, is capitalist. Such a system
has no inherent, essential injustice in
1t, and, If it can be properly arranged
and guarded, serves civilization. The
difficulty is to guard it from degenerate
ing into despOtism and fraud. The
man who, getting possession Of thou
