The local mining situation remains
practically unchanged on this range.

the Colby and Palms shipments and

Ex-Governor CrawfOrd's Platform.

Ex-Governor Samuel j. Crawford
gave to a reporter at Washington, re-
Gently, his idea of 9 platform for the
Republican party this year. His plat
form would be something like this:
"First-An honest, sound, healthy
protective tariff.
Ond-ReciproCity.
"Third-Free coinage of silver, the
same as gold, l6 to 1.
"Fourth-The retirement Of all
United States notes (greenbacks), treas
ury notes, gold certificates and silver
certificates, and issuance In lieu thereof
of full legal tender United StatesnOtes,
redeemRble In COln."
The Ex-Governor then comments on
IL as follows:
"Under our present financial policy
almost every dollar Of gold is owned
by q few people and locked up In
vaults for speculative purposes. And
the same is substantially true Of gold
certificates and the greenbacks. They
have all been withdrawn from circula-
tiOn by speculatOrs and the result is
known and keenly felt in almost every
household.
"If 1t is honest, sound money that
these honest single gold standard peO-
pie want, why do they not demand hon
est paper money, redeemsble In coin,
instead Of gold certificates, and silver
certificates, treasury notes, deprecated
greenbscks and national bank notes ?
Why not have gold, silver and full
legal tender United States notes, each
convertible into the other at the option
Of the holder?
"Then, with free coinage, the vol.
ume Of circulation would be increased
as the business Of the country In.
Creases, and we should have money
sufficient to employ the labor"

Partisan Textbooks,

for school use bid fair to become mere
repeaterS Of the current phrases of
money changers. An advance has
evidently been ordered all along the
line by the money power, and accord
ingly speakers are sent out, the Conn.
try is flooded with ready print 'gOld-bug
assertions, the great journals are
bought up, politicians are Cosxed,
bribed or coWed into silence, the re-
liglOus and educational journals are
filed with Wall street argument, and
even the textbooks are being filled
with the statements Of the plutOCratic
side without one syllable of the other
side as cOunterpoise.
A cause which cannot be maintained
If both sides be heard Is truly miSer-
able one. The principle must be weak
when no whisper of objections to 1t
dare be presented. The doctrine that
cannot be maintained except by un-
questioning submission and scquies-
cence to it deserves to fall. The gold
power knows this.
A Pennsylvania publishing house Is
putting upon the market q new civil
government of the United States. 1t
is very fine work with one exception;
good in every particular but one. The
chapter which relates to money Ia
written from the ROthschlld stand
point. Socialism also 10 defined in q
sneering way as Government by a
committee, and all Socialists wish to
be on the committee"
The question is asked, "Whst is
money!" The answer is: money is
a measure Of value expressed In coin.
The money of the United States is the
gold and silver coin of the United
States" The author doubtless never
learned that conceslment of the truth
is closely related to outright falsehood.
Ely's "POlitical Economy" quotes
Francis A. Walker, giving definition
Of the popular conception of money
thus: money is that which passes
freely from hand to hand throughout
the community in final discharge of
debts and full payment for commOdi-
ties, being accepted equally without
reference to the character or credit Of
the person who offers 1t, and without
the intention of the person who re-
ceiVes it to consume it or enjoy it, or
to apply it to any other use than, in
turn, to tender it to others In discharge
of debts or full payment for commOdi-
ties" So in the popular sense this
school textbook is wrong. Ely says
further that "WhsteYer the law de-
clsres a legal tender is money In the
legal sense" Then said text book is
not giving the legal sense to the term
"money."
There is a third definition given by
Prof. Ely called the "politico eco
nomic" concention which agrees with
our author, but he neglects to state that
he is simply giving the view of some
professors Of political economy, and
that other views are taken. No doubt
it would be better for the plutocrsts II
citizens grew up with but one idea Of
money, and that one furnished by Wall
and Lombard streets.
The national Supreme court has
twice declared greenbscks to be money,
