A months salary is still withheld
from Arthur DAVIS, the janitor of No.
81 School, over whom there was SO much
contention recently. The principal Of

of the board, the salary cannot be paid.
There is little likelihood now that tho
voucher will ever be forthcoming, and
the janitor is in fix.

NO CLASS LEGISLATION.
Equal Rights For All. Special Privileges
to None.

In speech delivered before free
ilver convention at Griffin, Ga, Sena-
tor Morgan Of Alabama rehashed tho
stale theories Of the silver standard adj
vocates and closed his exposition Of the
free coinage gospel with the declaration
that the silycritCs demanded equal
rights for Ill, special privileges to
none. " This doctrine u equality before
the law is one which appeals to every
fair minded American, ard it is the be-
lief that silver is denied privileges
granted to gold which has led many to
support the agitation for free coinage at
lG tol But there is no ground for such
claim. On the contrary the proposition
that the government should coin into
money at fixed ratio all the silver Of
this or other countries which might be
brought to the minis is a direct violation
Of the principles Of equal rights.
All that the government does for gold
is to stamp it with a certificate Of its
weight and fneness. The legal tender
quality Of gold coin adds nothing to its
commercial value. II the government
were to stop the coinage Of gold tomor-
row, the value Of that metal would re-
main the same. And the adoption Of
gold as the standard Of values has not
Increased the value Of the products Of
the gold minor. The same could be said
Of silver were it merely proposed to coin
that metal at its true commercial value.
The most extreme "goldbug Of the sill
verite imagination would not object 70
free coinage Of silver dollars if each
coin contained a full dollars worth Of
silver. The objection to such action on
the part Of the government is that 1t
would involve a great and useless cx-
pense for mintage, as the commercial
value Of silver continually changes, and
it would be necessary 10 make new coins
whenever silver became cheaper or dear
er. But the demand Of the free silver
advocates is not for the coinage Of both
metals at their commercial value, but
for the unlimited coinage Of silver, worth
only 80 cents, into coins which will
be legal tender in payment for goods or
Of debts equal to gold coins, worth twice
as much. In other words, they seek to
compel the government to give one class,
the producers Of silver, the right to have
the value Of their products doubled by
setting a fictitious value on it. This is
what free coinage at l6 to ! really
means, and if adopted it would make
the silver miners 4 privileged class at
the expense Of the whole people.
That this is true is recognized by all
the leading Populists, who have de-
manded that the government should 60
farther and give the owners Of staple
farm products the right to have their
crops stored in government warehouses
and to receive money based on them.
In this the Populists are consistent with
their paternalistic views, but very in
consistent with the Jeffersonian doctrine
of equal rights. The true remedy for
any violation Of this great principle Is
not the granting Of special privileges to
the farmers as we'll as TO silver miners,
but the repeal Of all class legislation
and steadfast opposition to all financial
schemes involving government aid to
any special interest

A Gigantic Globe.

A Partisan firm Of globemakers, M.
Heriot G. Co., has just finished the most
gigantic globe ever constructed. 1t was
built on plans furnished by the four
leading French geographers-Villiard,
Cotard, Tissandier and Seyrig-and is
said to be the most wonderful model OF
the earth that the scientists have ever
had the pleasure Of inspecting. 1t is a
huge sphere, 40 feet in diameter, and
has painted upon its surface all the de-
tails Of the earth IS geography. The globe
weighs Is tons, but is so nicely bal
anced upon its axis that it is easily TO-
tated by a small wheel worked by one
man. Its entire surface area, which is
raised and depressed SO as to show
mountains, valleys, ETC., is 525 feet.
This giant globe was announced as be-
ing finished IA months ago, but the fin
ishiDg touches. such as balancing, lin
ing, etc, have occupied the constant at
tention Of II men since that date. These
10 experts have accurately and infinitely
carried out every detail laid down by
the great geographers whose names are
given above, and NJ. Heriot & Co. now
feel justified in announcing to the world
that the great task Of building the larg-
est globe in the world has been carried
to a successful finish. The next largest
model Of the earth is the Is foot globe
used in the observatory at Berlin, and
the largest one in America is only II y
feet in diameter. st. Louis Republic

those who produce and export It, In
short, the whole octopus business, like
the other delectable Illustrations IN
COINS School, is n delusion and q
snare. The worst thing that could happen
to this country would be the ruin Of Eng
land. No merchant would look with sat
isfaction on the ruin of his best custom
er.
Another favorite argument Of the free
silver advocates is that England first
adopted the gold standard and has grown
rich by 1t, and that, therefore, it must
be bad for other countries. Let us note
two things in this connection:
First. England first adopted trial by
fury and the writ Of habeas corpus She
first enforced the principle Of freedom
that no man should be deprived of life,
liberty or property but by the Judgment
of his peers or the law of the land.
Shall we discard these sacred muniments
Of liberty because they are Of English
origin?
Second. If England has prospered
under the gold standard, why not the
United States? Certainly no country
ever became really prosperous by the
ruin Of its neighbors. IN the great COM
monwealth Of nations the prosperity OF
one makes trade with all and helps to
enrich all From Everett p. Wheeler's

LEGISLATION AND PRICES.
Laws OF Trade More Powerful Than the
Laws Of Nations.

The Iowa Democrats on Aug. Z de-
clared against free coinage Of silver at
1G to l by an overwhelming majority.
The following is short quotation from
the speech Of Hon. Nathaniel French,
chairman Of the convention:
AT what ratio shall we coin the
metals so that a dollar Of one will equal
a dollar Of the other in intrinsic and
e1changeable value? When we want to
know how much things are worth, we
20 to the 4aarkets and find out. We
don't hunt up a congressman to ask the
value Of eggs or spring chickens or grain
OF anything else, or if congress has de-
clarod what their value shall be. We
know that the mere declaration Of con-
gress, or even constitutional amend
ment, could not fix the price OF single
egg. In like manner. il we want to know
how many ounces Of silver an ounce OF
gold is worth, we must 60 to the bull
lion markets instead Of the revised
statutes Thomas jefferson could not
have won undying fame as a statesman
and leader Of the common people if he
had not been endowed with an album
dance Of common sense, and over 100
years ago, when congress sought his ad-
vice as to the ratio to adopt for the
coinage Of gold and silver, he said:
Disregard legal proportions altogether.
Inquire into the market price. He
knew that opinions should not and
could not be controlled by legislation.
He knew that the basic laws Of trade
were more powerful than the laws Of
nations and that the multiplication
table could not be altered by statute.
ITO so coin gold and silver that both
shall circulate together by reason Of
parity Of value we must follow Jeffer-
sons advice and inquire the price Of
gold and silver in the markets Of the
world. If we find one ounce Of gold will
buy 80 ounces Of silver, that is the ratio
to adopt To put in the silver dollar
more than 80 grains Of silver for each
grain Of gold in the gold dollar would
at once drive our silver money from cir
culation, and to put in less would ban
ish cur gold. The loss Of either would
be misfortune, and to retain both we
must adopt the mercantile ratio, putting
in our coins no more and no less than is
needed to make one Of equal value to
the other. "
