Prof. Hilleboe in last week.
Gazette makes the following
statements:
The Peoples Party in their
platform adopted at Omaha de-
mand "a national currency, safe
sound and flexible, and issued by
the general government only"
The platform also demands 1.-The
free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the ratio of Is
to l. This is q glorious straddle,
since the two demands are dia-
metrically opposite. If money
is to be issued by the general
government only, it is impossi-
BILE to have free coinage, and if
free coinage should be adopted it
would not be possible that mon
ey could be issued by the gener
al government only. The mass
of the populists therefore hold
to the private issue of money
through the free coinage plan,
and let the demand for govern
ment issue of money go.
Now we are greatly surprised
that such an intelligent man as
Prof. Hilleboe should find any
straddle in the Omaha Platform
on the money question. And we
are even more surprised that
such an astute logician as Prof.
Hilleboe should not realize the
difference between money the
generic term and National Cur
rency" the specific term. The
Omaha Platform does not say
that money lis to be issued by
the general government only, "as
the Professor quotes, but that
"a national currency" is to be
issued by the general govern
ment only. A national currency
is one kind, and gold and silver
are another kind of money. The
Omaha Platform demands in SO
many words, that the first shall
be issued by the general govern.
ment only, and that the second
shall be coined free by the gov.
eminent at the present ratio OF
Is to /. A national currency is
to be ISSUED" not coined; gold
and silver moneyis to be :coined'
not issued. The two demands
might be Numerically opposite
in some sense. if they had been
applied to the general term
money as the Professor mis-
quotes the platform, but the mer
that formulated the Omaha plat
form knew the difference between
"a national currency and gold
and silver coins, and designated
how they wanted to get each
kind. The GLORIOUS straddle'
is not>in the Omaha platform but
in the Professors mind playing
on the word money"

We have had several applica-
tions for membership in our
Farmers Saving & Loan Society,
and it seems to be among the
possibilities to start such an in
stitution sometime this fall. AS
we have said before. we believe
in cooperation as the real rock
of salvation for intelligent peo-
pie. The whole people seems to
be incapable of cooperation to as
to affect national reforms because
there are so many ignorant vot-
ers, and it is a herculean task to
educate them. But intelligent
men that do understand their
own interest ought to be able. to
act together for their own good
in cooperative associations.
You farmers and business men
who are now just eking out an
existence, and understand the
principles of cooperation and it's
power for good must agitate this
matter, talk to your neighbors
about it and get the best men in
your section interested in it and
it will be success. Set your
thinging machine a going until
you can help yourselves. The
cable that holds the Niagara
suspension bridge is made out of
millions of wires twisted togeth-
err. Single strands of this cable
stretched across the mighty riv-
er would break of it's own weight,
but thousands of them twisted
into a cord will carry thousands
of tons safely across. Thus the
capital of a single farmer stand
ing alone is of no account against
the large capitalist. But let the
small stakes of thousands of
farmers be combined and it will
form a power able to compete
with the millions of a Gould or a
Vanderbilt. There is no better
illustration of the mighty posi-
bilities in organization than is
furnished by the various benev-
client societies such as the Ma
sonic Order, Odd Fellows, An
cient Order of United Workmen
and such like. These societies
though limited in scope, WELD a
mighty influence, social and eco
nomical, simply by virtue Of or
ganization. Let us have an or
ganization that will take in any
honest, sober and industrio
man, broad emo ugh ii it's scope
to be able 70 project the materi-
al interest Of each individual

AS to Mr. Bland.

The corporation gold standard organ
at Third and Chestnut is nightly per
turbed from day to day over what Mr..
Bland MAJ be ambitious to have in the
way of office. During the past month it
has reported him engaged in scheming
to be governor of Missouri, to be presi-
dent Of tho United States and to return
to congress from his old district.
ALI this of course for the purpose of
giving out that Mr. Bland is a politi-
clan, more interested in getting office
than in supporting d principle. But this
is the first time in MIR. Bland's % Years
in congress that he ever was accused of
being ere politician and schemer.
In fact, it has always been pleasantly
IN this state that Mr.. Bland would not
have known how to go about scheming
Tor denomination at any time during
his long public career, if there had been
ANYTHING like opposition to him.
The truth is the organ is trying hard
to paddle Up stream, and in it's despera-
tlon is III ming into the most unac-
countable- 1nags. Mr.. Bland has not said
he enterts, Sss q desire to hold another
public Office under any circumstances.
When he does, it will be time enough
for corporation gold standard organs to
assall his integrity if they dare.

Morrison on the Fence.

The silver Democrats [of Illinois are
represented as waiting anxiously for
some friendly sign from Hon. William
R. Morrison, but they will wait in
vain. Horizontal Bill, as Mr.. Morri-
son is fa1niliarly called, has already
said enough to Indicate that he is bowed
down in a worshipful attitude before
the golden image which Wall street has
set up. The silver Democrats Of Illinois
had better rest their faith on Hinrichsen
Or Altgeld or Fithian Or some other of
their numerous advocates of bimetal-
lism
The man who sits on tho fence and
watches the contest now going on in the
Democratic party between the friends
OF the gold standard and the friends Of
blmetalllsm cannot expect the conf
dence Of other clement because he lacks
either a knowledge of the question OF
the courage to speak his sentiments.
A president exerts a large influence
ON legislation through the patronage
which he distributes and through the
veto power. We cannot afford to take
chances on man who is afraid to ex-
press himself upon the leading questions

Silver, Cotton and Wheat.

Gold monometallistss say, "Our people
have been taught and many of them
honestly believe that the price of cotton
is governed by the price of silver, and
they say there is no rational foundation
for such belief. +" How will they ex-
plain to the farmers of our country the
fact that when, in 1898, the mints of
India were closed to the free coinage Of
silver, the gold price Of silver declined
from 20 to 25 per cent? The relation be
tween silver and cotton and wheat re-
naming the same, a given quantity Of
gold would purchase 20 to rs per cent
more OF wheat or cotton. To meet this
decline our wheat and cotton fell pro-
portionately. How do they explain the
fact that England can come here, buy
our silver bullion at about SO cents in
the dollar and ship it to India and swap
the 80 cents worth Of silver bullion for
bushel of wheat, thus forcing Amer
lean producers of wheat to sell at the
same price? If the closing Of the Indian
mints to silver caused it to decline 30
to 25 per cent and with it wheat, cot
ton and other staple products, the sup
ply remaining the same, would not the
reverse be true upon the reopening Of
the Indian mints to free coinage-to
wit, rise Of 20 to 25 per cent in the
value Of silver and likewise Of wheat
and cotton? Of these facts an intelligent
people will ask an explanation of those
who say that the price of silver bears
no relation to that of cotton and wheat.

CLEvELAND's COURT JESTER.

In Spite Of Chsnese War Methods tho Sill
yer Agitation "Goes Marching On"
Secretary Morton considered it 6
clever trick to prove the superiority Of
the gold standard by paying the salaries
OF the bimetallistic employees of his de.
partment in silver dollars, and the ad
mlnistration organs delighted in stating
that the recipients did not like to carry
off the heavy weight of their wages.
How poor the position and the knowl-
edge Of the gold supporter is on the
world important subject of currency is
proved by this childish device of the
cabinet minister and the childish ex-
uberance of joy manifested by the mon
ometallists of this country.
In Europe the Importance Of the cur
rency difficulty is more seriously recog-
! nized
Though the government and the press
there are still mesmerized by the few
great banking houses who control the
worlds economics by limiting and shut
ting off the circulating medium no such
puerile tricks as Morton's dodge are re-
sorted to in order to strengthen the sup
port for the gold standard. 1t is we'll
known to every rational mind that hard
money is not convenient for use. Con-
sequently paper proxies, standing in the
place of and backed by coin, are pre-
fer1ed.
If the monthly or quarterly amount
Of his salary were rendered in gold coin
to Jester Morton, he would very en-
phatically object to that mode of pay
ment and exclaim: II don't want to lug
that load Give me big notes. Yea,
it is most likely that he would be dis
inclined to take his salary in 81, So or
$5 bills.
This little incident shows how little
the great currency question is under
stood by men in important offices who
ought to know.
During the sweltering term the silver
discussion has wilted little, which has
revived the waning spirit of the gold
ghouls.
The monometallistio papers and ad-
herents once more resort to the Chinese
method Of warfare by tomtom cries:
"The silver craze is dying out r ''The
people are recovering their senses and
discard bimetallism l" "The syndicate
will be able to protect the gold reserved p'
This beating Of the gong and shout
ing is resorted to to overawe the oppo-
sition and to raise the courage Of the
gold mob.
But the natural laws of economies
can neither be resisted by such Chinese
methods nor made imperative by clown
ish tricks performed by secretary of
the United States.

Full 80 per cent of the Republicans

we are going to get real workers. The

what it means, and .it won't do any
good to appoint a member of this COM
mlttee whose ideas Of organization are
that he must sit in an office and wait
for people to come to him with sugges-
tlons and ideas. He must get out and

The Subject of Discussion at Last
Nights Meeting of the Monday Even
ing Climb


Another delightful meeting of the
Monday Evening Club occurred at Mrs.
Charles McKimmon's residence last
evening. The club has grown to large
proportions, and the constant addi-
tions of new members is an evidence
of the increasing literary taste of our
city, as well as to the wise selection OF
the programme by Professor Hill.
The subject of the evening was "Sir
John Vaudeville" Miss Bates read
an appreciative sketch of his career
Miss Register was bright in her essay
on THE Countries Travelled by Him
and How Travelling was Done in His
Time" 1t was pretty clear that Man
deville was an ancestor of Munchau-
sen.
Miss benson thoroughly discussed
Contemporary Literature which
was of especial interest, being the day
dawn of our language.
Professor Hill was, of course, at
home discussing "His Writings" with
a view to their character, diction and
style.
Appropriate resolutions in regard to
the late Mrs. w. w. Vass, who contrib
uted greatly to the success of the club
by her skilful direction of the musical
department, were adopted.
After the regular program was dis
posed of there was singing by Mrs. Nc
Kimmon and DR.. I'll. A. Royster, and
later on there was an amusing and in
structive pronouncing match
The next meeting of the club will be
the first Monday night in December
Miss Battle, Judge Montgomery and
Mr.. Bailey will discuss Chaucer.

Mr.. Cook to Judge Meares. IT he di-

Court is one that consists of two Repub-
licans, one Populist aud two Democrats,
and which decides every case
brought by Republican or Popu-
list against Democrat IN favor
of the Democrat in order to
maintain non bipartisan attitude before

there is to be no reference to illusions
