The unit of value in the United

the act Of April 2, 1892, in these words:
To be Of the value Of the Spanish milled

sand of them and dividing the mass by
1000 the quotient being 37lA grains
of pure silver.
That value, so determined, has re-
msined unchanged till the present
time. The coinage act of 1873 changed
the coin which represents the unit of
value from a silver dollar piece to
gold dollar piece. But the unit-DOL.
LAR-has never been changed in any
particular.
AS to the cent, that was first made
wholly of copper, and weighed II
pennyweights, OF 56 grains more than
the silver half dollar. Its value was
fixed by the law of 1899 at the some
hundredth part of q dollar;" and It's
value has never been changed, though
its weight has been several times re-
duced. Now our 1.cent piece is made
Of bronze. 1t weighs 48 grains. There
are l6O Of them in a pound, and the
blanks are purchased by the govern
ment from the manufacturers at a
little less than 20 cents by the pound.
All that is done to the blank pieces is
to run them through between the dies
to print them, and they are then legal
tender coins. A hundred of these
coins cost the government less than 1S
cents, vet our American bankers want
the people to understand that our dol
lar is hundred cents worth of gold"
That would make the dollar actually
worth only l215 cents.

REPUBLICAN METHODS.

In another column statement Of an
attempt, on the part Of j. M. Simpson,
Chairman Of the Republican State COM
mittee, to hire reputable Populist to
bolt the action of the Abilene conven-
tion is reprinted from the Mcpherson
Opinion.
The Opinion is edited by G. A. Ham
lin, who is the nominee of the Populist
party in that county for Representative,
which should be conclusive evidence that
he is regarded as a reputable Populist
and an honorable man. AS such he
would not print statement of the kind
without being satisfied of it's truthful
ness.
John w. Freeborn is known by his
own people and by many reputable Pop
uists over the State as an honest, fear
less, truthful man.
In the light of these facts, if they were
necessary, the truthfulness of the state
menu cannot be doubted.
This is direct evidence Of the sort of
campaign the gold crowd is making.
Every effort is being made to hold parti-
sans in line, and every one who is pur-

THE AMERICAN BANKERS lOO-CENT DOL

THE AMERICAN BANkERS lOO-CENT Doll
LAR.
The American Bankers Association
held one Of its annual sessions last
week at st. Louis. The President In
his address advocated the maintenance
Of the gold standard, of course, and
insisted that dollar ought to be worth
100 cents. 1t was not, however, until
the report of the Executive Council
was read that the acme of economic
philosophy was reached. That report
cont aims the following words:
We further believe that our full measure Of
National prosperity will not be gained until
the whole world understands that the dollar
of the United States Is 100 cents worth Of gold,
and that the nation intends to keep 1t at that
value.
One would naturally suppose that
bankers know a good deal about
money, and that such of them as are
fit for places on advisory committees
and council boards know something
about the laws of their own country
relating to coinage. If this report is
to be taken as q measure of the aver.
age intelligence of the bankers of the
United States, it is not to be won.
dered at that their influence is all be-
ing thrown on the side Of the money
power and against the people.
This report assumes that a cent is
the unit of value in the United States;
that 1t has q certain fixed, intrinsic
value independently of law, and that
all the rest Of the world understands
and recognizes these statements as
true.
But these bankers are in error. The
cent is not our monetary unit, 1t has
! no certain fixed intrinsiC value, and

prices at one began to rise. Second,
when the war Of the Rebellion In the
United States began, specie payments
were suspended, large amounts of
paper money were issued and prices at
once began to rise, and they continued
upward as long as the increased issues
Of money enlarged the volume.
Wages for persons that are employed
are generally as high as they ever
were; but the number of unemployed
is constantly increasing. If the total
amount of wages paid to labor now
were divided among all the people
that would be employed if there was
work for them to do, the average wages
would be much below the present
standard.
Circulation in France and Switzer-
land may be different and prices
may be substantially on the same level;
but that does not prove anything. In
crease the volume of circulation in
Switzerland and prices in that country
will rise. There has never been an
exception to the rule. It is said the
circulation In the United States has
greatly increased since 1873, but that
prices have not risen. Circulation In
creased from '78 to '82 and prices rose.
Circulation was diminished from '83 to
1890 and prices fell. Circulation in
creased from 80 to '93 and prices
tended upward again; from '9S to '96
circulation was contracted and prices
have been falling.
The state ment that all persons who
were able and willing to work in 1892
were employed is not true. Nobody
believes it for everybody knows better.
At the time Jones and Stewart were
talking about gold as basic money, the
word gold was used in its representa-
tive character. There was neither
gold nor silver in circulation here at
that time. The word gold was used
as representing the idea of metallic
money.

ratio other than the present legal
ratio-16 to l.

THE s1MPsON-LoNG DEBATE.

In the Kansas City Journals report
of the joint debate between Messrs.
Simpson and Long at Hutchinson last
week, Mr., Long is reported as saying
that "under free coinage the govern.
ment would be under no obligations to
keep silver at par"
Among the many odd phases and
situations which this campaign is
bringing to light is this enc presented
by Mr.. Long-thst the government is
under obligation to keep silver at par.
It is meant, of course, that silver is to
be kept at par with gold. The govern
ment has never attempted to do any
thing of the kind. Congress has no
suthority to keep silver at par with
gold or to keep gold at par with silver.
To be sure the Sherman law declares 1t
to be ''the established policy of the
United States to maintain the two
metals at a parity with each other;"
but we all know that the United States
never had any policy of that kind, and
II would be powerless to carry out such
policy II it were attempted.
Congress has no more power to main
tain the parity between the two metals
than the New York Stock Exchange
has to maintain parity between wheat
and corn, or between pork and beans.
The constitution empowers Congress
to coin money and regulate the value
thereof, and of foreign coin, and it has
repeatedly exercised that power. Hsv.
ing determined the value of certain
coins, it's power, for that time and for
that act, is exhausted. The subject
may be again taken up and the value
Of the coin may be changed without
changing the weight, or the weight of
the coin may be changed, the value re-
naming the same. The power of Con-
gress over the value of our coins is
exclusive and absolute. But that body
has no jurisdiction over the market
value of bullion.
What is more, Congress has never
undertaken to fix or maintain the
market value Of bullion at the same
value that the coin has. The differ
ence between the market value and the
coin value of metal is seen in the fact
that the law determines the coin value,
while the market value is ascertsined
by the rule of supply and demand in
the bullion market.
Mr.. Longs position is refuted every
day in actual practice. The bullion
required to coin 1OOsilVer dollars would
cost about $5l-thst is to say $51 in
gold. Here we have $51 worth of bull
lion made into 300 worth of coin. Is
that maintaining parityP
Still further. Congress never under
took to guarantee that the market price
or value of bullion should remain the
same, or that it should bear any cer-
tain relation to the legal value of the
coin. 1t simply says that a certain
coin, made in the manner and form
prescribed by law, shall have a certain
value as money. That covers the whole
case.

New York, January 6.-Robert Mon
tague. alias Watt Jones. alias StetsOn,
alias Comstock, one of the most expert
bank thieves known, is under arrest
here.
Montague has a long and interesting
record and has served time in several
prisons. HIS most daring piece Of work
was done in Denver, Colorado, in 1890.
He walked coolly into a bank there one
day and called the cashier into rear
room. There at the point Of a pistol, he
made the cashier write out a check for
$4,000, which he afterwards made into
cash. Montague then escaped with the
money.
In August, 1879, he, with a gang OF
bank thieves, headed by Jimmy" Car
roll, robbed the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, of Galesbug, H.. of $4,000. Car
roll was captured by the sheriff, but the
gang waylaid the sheriff at East ST. Lou
is, and after giving him a terrible beat
ing, rescued Carroll.
On October ?, 1891. Montague was ar
rested with four other well known bank
sneaks for robb.ng bank in ST. Louis

rrested there He has served seven
years in the prison az Kingston Ont,

The January term Of the Criminal
Court, Judge Hugus, was convened yes
terday morning at nine o'clock, and the
grand jury was called and charged
In his remarks to the jury, the Court
referred TO one matter OF very general
interest.
The Court said that so far as his in
formation went, little good had been
accomplished by the course hitherto
pursued in reference to indictments for
keeping houses of ill-fame. AS there
was no reformatory institution to which
loiteTers cOud be sent, he believed il
would be better TO fOregO all indict-
ments for lettering, and remit that class
Of offenders TO the Police Court, which
had jurisdiction. and which could treat
the matter more efficiently. He felt a
like disposition as TO keepers Of houses,
and felt that it would be better TO let
the Police CourC deal with them when
the Offense was within the city; but
that the grand jury was to do what they
thought right, and if indictments were
found he would endsavor to carry out
the remedial policy Of the statute by so
regulating the punishment as 10 rid the
city Of the Offense and offender. To
that end the Court would give an option
TO abandon the life or go to Jail, and fur
Their. if indictments were found for
keeping houses. then the persons who
rented or permitted hOus TO be used
by such keepers should be indicted and
the business of renting for such pur-
poses be broken up.
In the course OF his remarks, Judge
HUgus cCmplimented the efficiency Of

a great deal of interest in certain cir
cles, and were much commented upon
during the day. 1t has been a con-
slant source of complaint by the police

the class Of offenders referred to by the
Court was greatly interfersd with by
the frequent raids Of Constables, and
the tendency of grand juries to single
out this class of offenders for indict-
ment. Under the popular construction
of the remarks by the Court, there will
be a general disposition to remand the
social evil problem entirely to the po-
lice. and the latter claim that the re-
suits VII be much more satisfactory.
Time Will test this latter proposition

quarter of four yesterday afternoon
with the smallest list of indictments re-
turned for years. The list was as fol-
lows:
