Mr.. Leech, director Of the United
States mint, in his last official table
prepared for congressional use, gives
an itemized statement Of all the gold
and silver money in the world, and
here are his figures: Gold, $3,727 ,O1S,-
500; silver, $500, 81, 346; total 81 ,547, )
590,215. The total gold in the world
does not exceed $2.51 per person. and
the total silver does not exceed $2.5S-
total Of both metals Of $500 per
capita.
The debts of the United States have
been estimated at $55, 900, 900
then there is less than one dollar of
gold and silver in the whole world to
every seven dollars Of debt in the
United States alone!
These figures are enough to make
on's hair stand on end, when it is con-
sidered that the Rothschilds alone
hold bonds enough to call in all the
gold Of the world.
Grover Cleveland was right for once
when he said more expreSsively than
elegantly that the bankers have us

NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION.

A radical and unadulterated gospel
knocks on the head lot of unmean-
ing talk about the Christian nations.
There is not Christian nation in the
world to-day. A Christian nation
would be nation composed wholly or
chiefly of Christians. Where is there
such a nation? We sometimes hear
men talking about England and
America sending rum and ruin to 9TH
er countries, and then winding up
with, land these are Christian ma
tions.'' Fiddlesticks! Because ma
tions formally recognizes the Bible,
does that make it Christian? Not at
all. England a Christian nation. Ger
many Christian nationl America a
Chris tian nation! They are flooded
with drink Of hell's own brewing;
they are reeking with iniquity; they
are crimson with blood; and men dare
to call them Christian nations. Could
it legalize prostitution? Could it fill
the high seas with ships Of war?
Could it keep men armed to the
teeth.-Ram's Horn.

A DANGEROUS THEORY,

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Bout
we'll. writing to friend in Washing
ton recently, concerning the income
tax decision. said:
II count the decision the greatest
misfortune to the country since the
days of secession, and with less pros
pect of satisfactory outcome. The
attempt to amend the cons titution
will prove very serious undertaking.
[ have had part in three such at
tempts, and L have the means Of
estimating the magnitude Of the
task. 1t is no easy matter to secure
for an amendment twO-thirds vote
OF each house, and then a ratification
of the amendment by three -fourths of
the states.
"The power to tax through the
states is barren power, and it must
ever remain so. Our credit in the civil
war rested upon our ability to com
mand the property of the country as
we'll as it's manhood. InscaSe of a for
eign war, with our custom-houses
closed, by what means could adequate
revenues be secured? Never were
more dangerous theories offered in
argument in court. 1t is possible
that the minority of the court may
yet become majority"
~
In forcasting the probable solution
Of these serious problems, Justice
Brown casts still darker shadow
over the somber picture he has drawn
Of the situation. He declares that
the corrupting influence of wealth is
more powerful here than in any other
country. And he sees but one avenue
Of escape from the dangers that
threaten government:-own Of
all natural monopolies, Of all rail lways
and telegraphs and other franchises
properly belonging to the public.-N.

CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

NEEDED.
The Springfield Republican is of the
opinion that the constitution Of the
United States, as it has been left by
the income tax decision of the Su-
preme court, cannot safely be permit
ted to stand. There are two good and
sufficient reasons for amending it, in
the absence Of any certainty that the
courts interpreta tion will be reversed
at an early day. One is that the fed
eral tax power has been crippled to a
dangerous degree, land that the ability
Of the national government to main
tain it's dignity and authority in
times of emergency, which may come
at any moment, has been seriously i'm
paired.
Another reason for amending the
cons titutiOn is that the organic laws
of this nation cannot afford to set up
the principle that taxation should be
levied according to population rather
than according to wealth.
A constitution that makes such a
rule of taxation the only one is wrong
and must be amended. 1t must be
amended in order to restore to the
government the non-crippled power
to maintain its position and author
ity in all emergencies. 1t must be
amended in order that, if need be,
the burdens Of this government can
be distributed in some measure ac-
cording to ability to bear them and
benefits received. Metropolitan self
ishness and greed may fiDd cause for
triumph over this manning Of the
power of the government and this
denial of the federal authority to tax
wealth. But it will be but momen-
tary triumph. Every considera tion of
justice and the national well-being de-
mands that the limitations now set
upon the tax power be stricken down.

In formal statement made yester-
day, one who was in the councils Of
the syndicate from the start and who
speaks with inside authority, said:
There has been no mystery in the
transaction, nor any need for any.and
there has been no misunderstanding
about it among well-informed men in
this city. OF course. if some men in
sist on making mystery of the mat

vented from doing so. The matter,
however, is very simple. The govern
ment has received payment in full in
gold for all the bonds three months
before the syndicate could have been
compelled under its contract to pay
in the gold, and as result the treas
ury reserve stands at the close of the
financial year at more than $107, ,000,-

sumed they thought they acted for
the best interests of the country.

we'll known that but for the great
skill shown by the managers of the
Syndicate in what is termed haute
finance, many millions of dollars
worth of gold would have been ex-
ported.

still in force and that they will fulfill
it like honorable men is not to be
doubted for a moment. Whether that
fultillment will require the importa-
tion OF more gold cannot be foretold,

In ancient Rome they had augurs
as they called them-men who were
supposed to know more than the COM
mon herd and who pretended they
could foretell things about to happen
as we'll as to give advice in all the af
fairs of life, for all of which services
rendered to their fellow men they
were we'll paid.
The story is told that when two Of
these augurs met in the street, they
could not help laughing at their fell
low men who believed in their non
sense.
Our modern augurs are the politi-
clans in whom the masses of the peo-
pie have implicit confidence and
whose advice they blindly follow to
their injury and ruin.
Did it ever occur to the reader that
in nearly every law firm one partner
is a Republican and the other a
Democrat?
Heretofore the idea has prevailed
that our legal friends arrange their
partnership with that end in view SO
as to catch clients Of all parties, but
Gen. Sam Thomas, who is the law
partner Of Senator Cal. Brice the Ohio
boodler tells story on himself and
his partner that throws different
light on the law partnership business;
as Thomas tells it the story runs like
this: when Brice and | started
partnership in Lima we were both
Democrats. We hadn't dollar, and it
was advisable to catch all comers. So
we tossed up a cent one day to see
which would be the Democrat and
which would be the Republican mem
ber of the firm. Unhappily. l lost,
and l had to be the Republican, while
Brice carried off all the glories as the
Democratic member of the Shebang"
And so both went out on the stump
as political prophets and oracles to
preach political salvation to the peo-
Pile. And the great big fool public
took it and takes it for gospel truth
whild our modern augurs are playing
the voters for suckers.
1t is just the same with the newSpa
pers. Look at the little list:
In Minneapolis the Journal, Rep,
and the Times, DEM, are published
by the same company.
In Cincinnati one concern own the
Commercial Gazette, Rep, and the
Enquirer, Dem.
In Detroit the two leading dailies,
the Post-Tribune, Rep, and the Free
Press, Dem, are owned by one com
pany, and similar cases exist in other
cities.
Have we any right to ridicule the
old Romans who were humbugged by
their augurs.

How bright, how sweet this world would be,
If men could live for others.
How sweet, how bright,
How full Of light,
This life, if justice, truth and right
Were once enthroned; if men were free;
If men would all be brothers.!
And is this nothing but a dream?

Must poverty
Forever be,
And selfish greed and tyranny?
Must hate and strife be still supreme,
And love and peace come never?
Mo- I will not believe it, No.
God still reigns supreme. my brother;
Somewhere, sometime,
The race will climb
Above it's selfshness and crime
Will gentler, nobler, happier grow,
And men will love each other.
The morn is rising soft and bright,
The way grows light before us.
Cheer brother cheer!
Through doubt, through fear
The world grows better, year by

And fast and bright a day of light,
Will spread its white wings Ger US.

For Good Progressive Farm
erS.

Let the farmers bear in mind that all
the good they get out of any fertilizer
is in the potash. phosphoric acid aud
nitrogen. Much of our Piedmont land
has potash enough. In case farmers
10 no, sell their cotton seed or exchange
for meal, they should compost them
with acid phosphate. 1t is better to
buy the phosphate containing IA per
cent. of phosphoric acid, as it will cost
little more than the lower grades. If
it contains 2 to 3 per cent. Of potash so
much the better. TO make compost
use the following:
1000 pounds phosphate.
1000 - cotton seed.
That mixture will give Il per cent
Of ammonia. 7 per cent. phosphor'c
acid and one per cent. potash, besides
the fertilizing element in the bulls.
A fertilizer on the market with that
analysis would cost $40 to $22 payable
in November. At present prices. or Is
cents bustel, the 1000 pounds Of cot
ton seed would be worth S5 and the
time price of the 1000 pounds Of phos-
phate would not exceed 50. So the far
mer would have one ton Of fertilizer
for Sl4 and only So Of it to pay in the
fall.
If you exchange seed for meal, then
mix 100 pounds of meal with 200
pounds acid phosphate. The analysis
would show 2.60 of ammonia, 9 per
cent. phosphoric acid and l per cent.
potash. The cost Of this would be sess
than $40 ton.
IF one wished more ammonia IN the
compost heap be should put 200 pounds
of cotton seed to 100 pounds Of acid.
The analysis would then be 2 per cent.
ammonia. Dearlyl5 per cent phosphoric
acid aud / per cent potash The cost
would be $40 SO. counting the seed at
