The Populists are having fun.
Donnelly continues to hammer at
Owen, the Pop. candidate for con.
gress in Minneapolis. A delegation
of prominent Pops. called on Don
nelly Tuesday, and urged him to
stop opposing Owen. The Sage
listened to the requests of his Wis

''Rather than support Mr.. Owen

You may return to the gentlemen

this as my ultimatum.'
To another fellow Pop. who
demonstrated with Donnelly on
the injury he was doing the the
party, the irate statesman said:

A Demand for Pins for Currency.

To the Editor of the New York
Sun: Sir-Iu regard to silver at l6
to 1 some persons have recon-
mended the use Of copper in pref
erence; others have recommended
other things. Now, what we
should use is pins. Don't you
remember when you was a boy
what an admirable currency pins
made! Call each pin one cent and
each safety pin 81. A man who
earns 50 day would get 200 CON-
mon pins, or two safety pins a
day. Wheat would 60 up to 50 a
bushel, or 200 pins. Everybody
would have pins. This is the
currency we want, beer, 5 pins;
postage, 2 pins; butter, 50 pins a
pound; eggs, 30 pins dozen.
What we want is pins. This
would allow us to start even.
Now, with silver, the mine owner
has the advantage. So it would
be with copper, but pins are the
thing we ,,all have. Bryan has
pins. So has Watson, Mckinley,
Hanna, Sewall, Hill, Aston, Van
derbilt. Pins are something the
rich and poor all possess. Give
us pins for currency!
PIN CURRENCY.

AN INSTRUCTIVE PARALLEL.

The following extract from
Macauley's History of England,
relating to an incident which
occurred during the reign of
William the Third, furnishes an
instructive parallel to the present
NOV ement in this country for free
coinage of deprecated silver:
These politicians whose voice
was for delay gave less trouble
than another set of politicians,
who were for a general and i'm.
mediate recoinage, but who
insisted that the new shilling
should be worth only ninepeuce or
nincpence halfpenny. At the
head Of this party was William
Lowndes, secretary of the treasury,
and member of parliament for
the borough of Seaford, most
respectable and industrious public
servant, but much more versed in
the details of his Office than in the
higher parts of political philoso.

Parks For Country People.

It is probable that the people who ap-
preciate the beauty and glory of nature
the least of any are those who live in
the country the year around. The util'
ity and educational value of the public
park for the common people Of the large
cities has been long acknowledged, but
it does not yet appear to have occurred
to many that park for the rural inhab'
itants is just as desirable.
A plot Of land, the more rugged and
uncultivab]e the better, for then it
could be cheaply obtained and could be
made an example Of to show what could
be done in the way of improving it,
might be purchased by the authorities
of each county. Donations from gener-
Gus private individuals would help to
beautify the grounds. There should be
brooks and lakes. Tree planting, sod
ding. the laying out of walks and drives,
the culture of flowers and ornamental
shrubs, should be gone into on the most
approved principles of landscape gar
dening. From the county park the
farmer and inhabitant of the rural VII
lage might learn how they could make
their own smaller domains a thing Of
beauty.
Practical lessons in forest culture
should be incuicated in the county park
by the careful cultivation of every tree
that would grow in the given region.
A wooden Enclosure with seats where
great public meetings, Fourth Of July
celebrations, etc., could be held should
always be one Of the features Of the
county park. It would be the site for
picnic parties and social reunions of all
kinds. In every locality those who would
take in hand the establishment Of such
park would meet the hearty co-opera-
ton of all intelligent citizens. The park
would be the pride of the county.

modify OF which the price was
governed by the same laws which
govern the price Of a piece Of
metal fashioned into spoon or
buckle, and that it was no more in
the power of parliament to make
the kingdom richer by calling a
crown pound than to make the
kingdom larger by calling a fur
long mile. He seriously
believed, incredible as it may seem,
that if the ounce of silver was
divided into seven shillings in-'
stead of five, foreign nations would
sell us their wines and their silks
for a smaller number Of ounces.
He had considerable following,
composed partly Of dull men who
really believed what he told them,
and partly of shrewd men who
were perfectly willing to be
authorized BY law to pay a hundred
pounds with eighty. Had his
arguments prevailed, the evils of a
vast confscation would have been

and tn ere would have been much
risk of a general mutiny of the
fleet and army. Happily Lowndes
was completely refuted oy Locke
in a paper drawn up for the use of
Somers. Somers was delighted
with this little treatise, and de.
sired that it might be printed. 1t
speedily became the text book of
all the most enlightened politicians
in the kingdom, and may still be
read with pleasure and profit. Tbs
effect Of Locke's forc1ble and
perspicuous reasoning is greatly
heightened by his evident anxiety
to get at the truth, and by the
singularly generous and graceful
courtesy with which he treats an
antagonist of powers far inferior
to his own. Flamsteed, the
astronomer royal, described the
controversy we'll by saying that
the point in dispute was whether
five was six or only five.

A THIN POLITICAL GAME.

The Western silver mining
states have generally been Repub-
lican. This year the politicians of
those states tried to force the Repub.
licans party into favoring free silver
coinage. The Republican party
refused to take a position that
would sacrifice the interests of the
country to thsse of the silver mine
owners. The Republicans from
those states, led by Teller, Dubois,
Mantle and others, began nego-
tiating with Democrats and Pop
ulists, promising support of the
silver mining states to a presiden.
tial candidate who would favor
fret silver. The Democrats had
no hope of success on any issue
they had ever won on, so it was
easy to induce that party to take
up the free silver plan, thus max.
ing possible the union Of the Dem.
ocrats, the silverites of the West
and the Populists. The Populists
have always been for cheaper
money, and while they prefer
paper money that contains no value,
they will accept a compromise on
silver that provides for half value
and. half fiat in a dollar. The
Democrats who were willing to
sacrifice honest money principles
for the chance Of success by such
combination controlled the
national convention, and Bryan
was nominated by them, and then
endorsed by the Populists and free
sllverites. The Democratic party
had to go into this campaign with
no hopes of success, or else make a
combination with such elements.
The same motives induced the
local Democratic leaders in Min
nesota and Morrison county to
suddenly adopt the free silver
campaign cry, with the hope of
getting enough'Populist and other
help to defeat the Republican
ticket. The first Democratic state
convention in Minnesota this year
declared against free silver; the
next one declared IN favor of it.
The first Democratic county con.
vention in Morrison county elected
a delegation opposed to free silver
coinage; the next one elected
about the same men, but as free
silverites.
The public can respect the po-
sition of man who consistently
advocates free silver, but for the
local leaders who have no lasting
convictions on any questions, but
advocate anything for success, the
people have no regard. Such
sudden changes expose the motives
of the foppers. When these local

According to the market price
Of bar silver there is now less than
+52 cents worth of silver in "a

coinage the dollar will be worth
50 cents compared with the present
standard. Of course the ''dollar
will then be 100 cents, but the 100
cents will only represent as much
value as the silver you can now
buy for 50 cents.
