BY this time next year the free
silver question may be a mere "side
ISSUE" The real issue may be
again whether the South shall be
ruled by her own people or by
such men as the Douglassites who
now have control in North Caro-
lima.
The above is taken from the
leading Richmond Democratic dai-
", the organ of the willy Charles
and special champion of election
frauds. In the coming Presiden.
tial election the same old trick is
to be tried: "This way white
men! Niger! Nigger" Free
silver is to be ''side ISSUE" and
the people are to be scared into
voting against their interests by
the old threadbare cry of negro
domination. But the people will
not again be fooled by such cry,
coming from the party whose Pres
ident, Grover Cleveland, and his
wife, honOred Fred Douglass by

There may Doe little money in IT, but tho

WHY Money IL Scarce.

a day or two ago the Morning News
explained why it Is that while there is
more money available than there is any
demand for there is less of it in the peck
els of the people than there was when
the volume of the currency was smaller.
1t was also stated in that connection
that however much the volume of the cur
rency might be increased there would no
more of it find its way into the pockets
of the people than finds its way there
now. Ina order to get money the people
must have something to exchange for 1t.
II the prices of their products were higher
they would. of course have more money.
What is meant is Illustrated by state
ment which appeared day or two ago in
a New orleans paper. OF the cotton crop
of the season Of 1912, there We're mar
keted during the months Of Septem-
Der. October. November and December.
G.4liN0 bales, ana it yielded $252. 542 SD. OF
the crop Of lS9i-9j, there were marketed
for the same four months G.S71,0OO bales,
which brought only $lSi, 2S06 24 For the
first four months of this season. there
fore. the south sold $4,000 more bales
than for the first four months of the sea.
son OF 1912, but she received for it
SOS, coo less. From this statement any
clcar-headed man can see why it is that
there is less money in the pockets of the
people of the south now than there was
in 1912. and why there would be no
more if the volume of the currency was
double 5-bnt IT. ie To aat ruora money into
the pockets of the people we must have
better prices for our products or increase
our production The trouble is not a
scarcity of currency but shrinkase OF
values.

A citizen alleged to be millionaire has
been appointed to a police justiceshdp in
the city of Brooklyn. There is some
pretty lively discussion of the matter
Fears are expressed that the rich man
will not dispense justice with an even
hand. The basis for this fear seems to
be merely that he is rich. Why wealth
and injustice should be connected is not
apparent. Indeed, if motives are to be
measured by money, it would seem to be
safest for a magistrate to be rich he
would be less liable to succumb to tempta,
ton. In England many of the magistrates
are of the rich and landed gentry; and the
justice of the British petty courts will
probably compare with that of any other
country The rich man on the Brooklyn
bench may be the means of doing much
more good than a poor man could do.
He VIII certainly have numerous oppor-
tunities to exercise charity, which a poor
man could not avail himself Of The
criticisms of the Brooklyn appointment
are probably grounded in the antagonism
to wealth that demagogues know SO well
how TO make the most Of.
