Let 1t Be Restored.

Being barbarianS enough to tie our
selves to a metallic basis system Of
finance. if we have only half enough Of
that metal to do the business of the
country the hardship falls heavily upon
all classes Of legitimate business and
particularly so on producers. But when
q nation deliberately takes out of cir
culation one-half of the established
amount, after business interests have
become adjusted thereto, debts con
tracted, property purchased and wages
fixed. of course there remains only
half as much with which 10 pay debts,
employ labor and carry on commerce,
and the inevitable result is :dleness,
StagnatiOn foreclosure and bankruptcy.
This is what our Government has done,
and consequently the condition we are
in. With silver restored partial reatOne-
ment would be made. debts could be
paid with the same values in which
they were contracted, prices OF prod
ucts would increase, thereby rendering
some profit to industry and furnishing
employment for the millions how in
forced idleness, better wages would be
paid, and there would result Il wonder
full rovement.-Farmers Tribune.

The "gold" countries are Germany,

The ''gold" countries are Germany,
England, Denmark, Portugal and some
Of the more dependent colonies of these
governments. Or on n liberal estimate
Of the population of the globe, seven
eighths of the human race use silver
alone as money or the two metals to-
gether. So if we really want to have 4
money cosmopolitan and that will pass
anywhere we ought to have silver.
But the gold people only regard one
country as civilized" really-England.
They admit for the sake of pOliteness
that Germany is civilized, but as her
civilization only dates back about TWEEN
ty years, the time silver WAS suppressed
ed, they don't say much about her
The truth is the gold story is all a
lie-web and wool. Gold is not the
money of the world universal. 1t is
unknown to two-thirds of the human
race-but it is the money of the Insurer,
and the usurer only. To make gold
the only money of ultimate payment is
to enslave the world to those who own
the gold. And this is the one most effec-
tive way to destroy the freedom. civil
ization and progress of mankind.

Antiquity of Beds.

The ancients slept on the floor or OH
n diyan covered with skins. During the
middle ages beds were made of rushes,
heather or straw. 1t is believed that
feather beds were known to the Rom
ans. since Il mention in one of the poets
Of men so luxurious that they slept on
feathers is supposed to refer TO this
kind of beds. Heliogablus had an air
cushion, and also an air mattress, 21S
or ODD A. ID.
Feather beds were employed by the
better classes in England during the
days of Henry Will, though they were
considered luxuries and were eXpen-
sive. The bedsteads of the Egyptians.
Romans and Greeks closely resembled
our touches.
The Russian peasants place their beds
on top of the family oven for the sake
of the warmth given forth by the lire.
TO the present day bedsteads in iIol-
land and some parts of Germany arc fit
ted up with two feather beds, on one
of which the sleeper lies, while the 9th
er is used for covering.

Prices of the Metals.

With the present gold price of fine
silver at about 591a cents per ounce,
the silver value of the bullion in Il gold
dollar is more than SIT; or the gold
value of the bullion in silver dollar
is only about 46 cents. Thus 800 di-
vided by 1920 equals .46. or 1920
divided by 90 equals SIT. To this
anomalous and most startling ratio
have the two great money metals by
which all the material wealth of the
world is measured. and by which all
the commerce Of the world must be
carried on, been brought by the revolu-
tionary practices of gold standard or
creditor nations in this last quarter Of
the nineteenth century! During this
period there has been no such thing
known as stable parity-so abso-
lutely necessary to Commerce-be-
tween the two standards of value. Elk
change as carried on between gold and
silver nations. has degenerated into a
species of gambling during the last
twenty years.

How She KpeDs Her Freshness

of good looks. and even of girlish fresh

"Defeat" of Silver.

Honest money" from the gold side
view is Il dishonest dodge and the cam
paign of education" has been an organ
lied system of falsehood from the be-
ginning. For example, bimetallic or
silver convention was held ut Memphis
the other day, and the press report of
its action was 1.-The defeat Of the silver
men at Memphis" 1t would be very
funny indeed if q convention in which
every man in it was for silver could
vote down itself. Yet SUCH was the
headline work of the gold press.
This defeat was because the con-
vention did not bolt both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties and form
4 new or fourth one in national and
State politics. That would have suited
the gold men exactly as their only hope
is deception and division. AS the Phil
adelphia American aptly says: AS the
friends Of silver are in the majority in
both the chief parties, it would be
suicidal to abandon the old OrganiZa
.tion for n new one" Nothing would
suit the foreign monometallists better
than this policy.
The practical political situation Is
just this, and all practical politicians iD
the gold ranks see it much more clearly
and nervOusly than the friends of silver
do: If the Democratic party follows
Cleveland in its national platform and
nomination and the Republicans dS
clare for silveV restoration, it is doubt
full if the Democratic nominee could
get an electoral vote. And if the stu
alton should be reversed the result
would be reversed as well. And if both
should be controlled by the gold policy
the wisest among us could not foresee
the consequences.
The great majority of the American
people are for silver. So universal is
this sentiment that the masses have
not yet realized the fact that it has been
demOnetiZed. When that fact is fully
realized by the masses and they are
brought face to face with it, a propo-
sition to do away with the Constitution
itself would not be more universally re-
jected. For the people instinCtively feel
that to put the nation in the hands of
a foreign money power, as the gold
policy does, is but the first step TO de-
stroy Constitutional government and
liberty There is no such word as de-
feat.-KansaS City Journal.

The capstone was placed in position on

remains of Lincoln were removed from the
temporary tomb and placed in the crypt
under the monument. In the other crypt
reposes the remains of Eddie, son of Mr..

and of Thomas TAD, their youngest son,
who died in Chicago July 10, 1871.

SIXTEEN TO ONE,

o! what is the cry, that is rending the
sky
All over tie South AID the West?
From far and from near the slogan we
hear,
With never pause or rest.
Though faint in the East, it is ever in
creased
AS you follow the course of the sun,
Hill the Rockies are passed in wild
trumpet blast
: For silver at sixteen to one.
1t sounds to the tramp in the far mining
camp,
Then comes over mountain and plain,
Till caught from the mouth of the planter
down South,
While the farmer takes UP the refrain.
Wherever It's found It's magical sound
And wonderful work it has done.
Here, there, everywhere, it is filling the
air:
Free silver at sixteen TO one!
From the far Golden Gate unto Wash.
ington State.
Thence east to Superiors beach.
Take your course, and then skip down
the broad Mississip
Till the shores of Kentucky you reach;
Up the fair Ohio past Virginia so,
Then eastward the boundary run;
You will thus understand that three
fourths of the land
Is bowling for sixteen to one.
The goldbugs berate, and their lackeys
they pirate,
And their newspapers fill UP thir space;
They tremble in fear when that slogan
they hear
And find it is growing apace.
Though they fume and they sweat, we
will get them, you bet,
And won't we have oceans of fun?
AS we bury them deep in their last final
sleep
Meath ballots for sixteen to one!
AS fair futures ope, though the glory of
hope,
To the enchanted vision of youth;
AS the forces of right come on like the
light,
And triumph with justice and truth,
So the prospects we see of a swift vic
tory
When the battle at last is begun;
Things are coming our way, it's the break
of the day
For silver at sixteen to one!

"Civilizcd" Money.

We hear great deal about the ''civ-
ilized" nations and their money. Silver
has now got to be Il 'barbarous'' cur
rency. 1t is true great many nations
or peoples we don't regard us Chris
tians' use only silver. yet they are very
rich nations, and commercially the most
important in the world. Were it not for
India. for example, England would be
mere fOurth-rate power. in the rank
of Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and
like states. Yet India is not even q
bimetallic, but a silver mOnometal,
country.
In book printed i'll 1893 we find the
single silver using countries are given
rs India, China, Japan, the South Amer
lean republics, Mexico, Peru, Russia,
Tripoli, etc The bimetallic countries,
or those using both gold and silver,
were France, United States, Chill,
Cuba, Greece, Hayti, Argentine Repub-
lie, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, Swift
zerland, ROumania, etc. Now some of
these are lsChly civilized-Shey think.

Dumping Silver on Us.

1t is said that if we open our minis
to the free coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to lie ounces of silver to 1
of gold-all the silver in the world will
come to our minis and we shall be
overwhelmed with it, If this were
true, it would be the first example in
the history of the world of q country
being overwhelmed with good money
There never was nation yet that
was overwhelmed with silver money.
There never was nation that had more
silver money than it had good use for,
and there never will be.
The world would not pour silver upon
us. The metal would be as high in
price in other countries as here, so
that there would be no profit in send
ing It here. On the contrary, there
would be n loss, for silver is valued
higher in comparison with gold In ali
other countries than in ours. In our
country the ratio is 16 to THAT is, 16
ounces of silver to of gold. In rance,
Belgium. Mexico, China and the Cen
trail and South American States it is
1872 to THAT is, 1917 ounces of silver
to 1 Of gold There would be loss of
half an ounce on every pound of silver
brought here.
Besides, the other countries have no
silver to spare. The whole worlds
product Of silver in 1893 was 5000. 49,
OO0-and nearly twO-thirds Of this,
S135,3S9,753, was coined into money
and large part Of the balance went
into the industrial arts. In the year
1892 nearly four-fifths of the entire
worlds product of silver was coined.
In the year 1891. out of 4 total worlds
product of S117,352, 300 of silver $685.
294,361 was coined into money in the
countries of the EARTH and the indus
trial arts consumed a large proportion
of the balance. if not all of it, Even If
our minis had been open to the free
coinage of silver in the three years
named, the other nations would have
left to us only S74, 600, 900 in 1893, $40
O0o,000 in 1892 and $4,000, 900 in 1891
an allowance which would have fall
en- far short of overwhelming us; in
deed. 1t would have fallen short of salts
flying our wants.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
world is gorged with cheap silver for
which there is little or no use. and that
the throwing open of our minis would
attract it. Every nation on the globe
needs more and more silver every year,
and there is not enough produced to
satisfy them. Mexico coined in 1899
S2S.O00,0W silver; Austria Hungary,
S1S.Oo0.OOO; Japan. So 900 900. and 9TH
er nations smaller amounts. Even gold
standard Great Britain coined over
$1,000. 900 silver for small change; and
1t is certain that if we should adopt
the policy of free silver coinage at 1G
to the other nations would never al
low us to have enough of the annual
product of the metal to hurt us.
