"Liverpool," was the reply. "Oh,

The comments of the Salt Lake
Tribune are decidedly more accurate
and timely, when it says:
"Is it any wonder that the rural dis
triets are not increasing in population,
and is it not plain enough that all these
great figures, Running into the hum
dreds of millions Of dollars are gotten
up to give out false idea that the
farmers, under present circumstances,
are doing well throughout the eastf
1t is simply bare struggle for life,
and II there is any Indebtedness on the
place, that indebtedness, sooner or
later, will bresk the farmer and leave
the family homeless, without means,
and without the ability to engage in
any other business And how cruel 1t
is for papers in the cities to publish
how well farmers are doing, when on
their own showing the farmer who
raises forty acres of corn works him
self and his family to death for six
months TO raise that corn, then cannot
realize on it what the ordinary busi-
ness man in the city spends every year
for his lunches at midday and his
cigars"

be in a prosperous condition SO long as

Quoted at loss 1t is as impossible
for nation to prosper when one large
element of its population are suffering
as it is for a man to be well with his
arm or leg diseased. The farmers
must be restored to prosperity or
things will go from bad to worse. II
their crops continue to decline in price,
while the value of the money they
must pay their debts in grows greater
and greater, it is evident that point
will soon be reached where all the
farmers will be paupers aud a serious
crisis will be reached; for no class will
quietly submit to be pauperized. The
farmer to-day must raise twice as
much corn to pay his debts as he was
required to do thirty years ago, and
his big crop, instead OF being worth
$3.50, 900, 600, would have been worth
81 500, 0o0,0 600 In wheat the falling of
in price represents even q larger loss
than the corn crop, and thus it is safe

FIXING VALUES.
Why Gold Is Apparently More Valuable
Than Silver.

Why Gold Is Apparently More Valuable
Than Silver.
So far as any intrinsic value is con-
cerned, silver Is more valuable than
gold. II is q harder and more durable
metal, and can be used in many ways
for which gold is not adapted The
reason gold Is more valuable than
silver is because those who have con-
troll OF the money market have decided
that it shall be so considered. If
few men like the Rothschilds were to
decide tomorrow that silver should be
"the money of redemption" as they
are pleased to call IT. gold would be
worth no more, II as much, as silver Is
to-day. The value of gold is purely
artificial, and the creation of money
brokers, who have selected il as the
standard of value; first, because they
are largely English and the British
empire produces gold but practically
no silver; secondly. because the supply
Of gold is smaller and therefore more
easily controlled by few men, who
own most Of the gold mines of the
world.
When the discovery Of gold In this
state threatened to give an overproduc-
ton of gold, the same men who now
clamor that all debts should be paid in
gold, then wanted silver, the scarcer
metal at that time, as the money of re-
demption and payment The creditor
naturally wants all he can get from his
debtor. II he can loan him one dollar
and get back two, he considers himself,
and is considered by the world, an able
financier,
While the British government, 10
please the bankers which control t,
has fixed standard price for gold, a d
pretends that silver is a mere COM
modify, yet it buys this silver, coins it
in the ratio of Is to and forces 1t
on the Asiatics for that value, showing
again the power of the government,
and that the value of the metals as
money is arbitrary and artificial. 1t Is
dishonest, according to our English
creditors and their tools in this coun-
try, for the United States to pay its
debts in silver, because silver is worth
only one-thirty-second aa much as
gold, but it is perfectly legitimate and
honest for the Engliah trader to use
silver dollars coined on tl>p basis Of IS
to in the transactio1msl his business
with the Chinese. JsTA rso and other
Asiatics.
The English people never were con-
sistent in anything, but they are prob.
ably more inconsistent in this money
matter than in ANYTHING else thew do.
and the only extraordinary thing Ia.
that Americans should be fools enough
to play into their hands as complete
as they do-Los Angeles Express

The statement in the HIgginsville
Leader of the 4th inst, that 1.-The In.
TELLIGENCER says the cost of gas in
lighting the present court room at Lex
IngtOn is a big item of expense to the
county," is a deliberate and wilful
falsehood. The INTELLIGENCER made
no such statement. What the INTEL
LIGENCER did say, and repeats, in
alluding to the necessity of lighting the
gas in order to enable the s'stenog-
raphers and reporters" to see to do
their work n morning in the dingy,
dark and crowded court house, as
complained of by the correspondent of
the Kansas City Star, during the trial
of 'Boss May" on change of venue
from Jackson county, was that ssThe
cost for one hour to light up the dingy,
dark little court room, in order to
carry on the court business is more
than all the taxes any taxpayer of the
county will e have to pay on account
of the proposed repairs to the court
house" That is, that it was infinites-
finally small. And yet, the Leader,
with its usual ability in that direction,
permits this language, and makes us
say that it was ga big item of expense
to the county" Shame on such
journalism
