quested Moore to pay him the balance,
but the ex-congressman always refers
the letters to his-secretary.
King became tired of waiting longer
and yesterday he fled suit before jus
tice of the peace at EudOra, Douglas
county, against Moore for the amount
claimed to be due him. The case will BIZ

he has the documents in his possession

The Money Question.
NO. H..

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-In a former
paper on this subject, an effort was
made to present to the mind of the
common, everyday laborer a plain and
easily. understood view of the nature,
functions and perVersiOns of money.
Since writing my first article, ! have
read a letter from United States sen
stor of no mean ability, and undoubted
devotion to the peoples cause; and
from which letter l quote the follow
ing: "The elements are now at war,
and 1 think something soon will come
from new combination of reform
forces"
OF course, am not justified in as
suming from this language that its au-
thor is ready to surrender any one of
the great essential principles of the
Omaha platform in order to secure
such combination of reform forces"
as to build new party, many of
whose advocates cannot be won to the
present Peoples party platform. l
fear, however, that the present anxiety
on the part of many of our refOrmers
to secure at once a new and triumph
ant party may lead to an improper and
ruinous concession to the enemy.
While it is now evident to all people
that money is the leading national
question, still / cannot see how it is
possible to secure true and perms-
nent financial reform, without at the
same time breaking down and remoV-
ing the other great and oppressive cor
porations whose very existence is in
seperable from the money power itself,
In a very important sense, transporta-
ton under existing commercial condi-
tons, is so correlated to the Office of
money in the necessary distribution of
wealth as to make it absolutely impos-
sible to reform the one, while the other
is left unreformed. And is it not
equally true that the land question has
its roots also inseperably connected
with both the othersP
This latter question now brings me
to where l left off in my first paper on
the money question. In my effort to
show that the one essential function of
money is to represent labor, the latter
alone being the true measure of value,
l was met by the objection that there
are cases in which a few days labor
unearths and places in the hands of the
labOrer vast treasures, and hence it is
argued labor cannot possibly be the
correct measure Of value.
There would be force in this conten-
tion were the present competitive sys-
tenn and the present principle of indi-
vidual titles to land conceded to be
correct, just and orderly; but intelli
gent minds now clearly discern that
there can hardly be anything more un-
just and ruinous to the real interests Of
society than absolute ownership of
land. The money question, as already
stated, has now forced itself to the
front, und so presses for final solution
as to make it highly improper to longer
delay bold and correct national action
on the same. Nevertheless, we must,
right now, be educating our people on
the land and transportation questions
In order that when wa as a nation are
