a. m. yesterday at Brainerd. He never
expressed repentance for his deed,
but told how he would have done a
better job next time. He retained
his nerve until toward the last. Pryde
decoyed the victim from a logging
camp to Brainerd,, and then got him
to go out into the country. In mar
row pathway he asked Peterson to
step in front of him, and then shot
him in the back of the neck, land then
twice more, leaving him for dead
Peterson recovered sufficiently to tel
his story and identify Pryde. Peter
sons body was brought to this city

We learn from the Good Thunder
Herald that an effort to reduce the
school tax and do away with one
teacher was expected to be made at
the school meeting there last Satur-
day evening, and an animated session
was looked for, drawing out larger
number of voters than usual. How
ever, a motion to raise $4,000 for
school purposes went through with
but few dissenting votes. This ac-
tion reflects great credit on the vii
lage, as it shows that the tax payers
are determined to maintain the ex-
cellence of the school in any event.

GIVING HIS WHOLE CASE AWAY
MF Crisp Admits That Gold Is the
 standard of Valoa

standard of Naloa
 in his Atlanta debate with Secre. tary smith ex-Speaker Crisp attempted to answer the objection of the sound money advocates against the 50 cent dollar by saying; T tell you, nv friends, that do not want the free and unlimited coinage of silver unless the bullion in silver dollar is worth as much as the bullion in gold dollar. All this rot about cheap money is q sub. teffuge of those who are interested in maintaining the dearest kind of money.,'
 Mr Crisp has for years been clam orlng for free silver on the ground that gold has increased in value and is foo scarce and dear to serve as money, and has urged the necessity of having cheaper money for the people" as against dear money for the bankers. Yet he now says that heonly wants free coinage under the condition that the bullion in a silver dollar shall be worth a dollar in gold. That is exactly what Thomas Jefferson favored when he ad- vised that the ratio between gold ami silver be fixed as nearly as possible at the commercial value of the two metals. It is what the believers in an honest dollar have always insisted on. A free coinage law which should put 100 cents worth of silver in each dollar wouId not iniuriously affect our present sound financial system
 But what becomes of Mr. Crisn,s promise that 1yn1ar f~ao --.1.z-- 1T
 pie would have cheap money? If gold dollar IS too dear to be used to measure values, how would silver dollar which IS worth just as much be any cheaper" The commercial value of silver is now about thirty to one. IfMr. Crisp is hon. est in saying that he wants the bullion in a silver dollar to be worth as much ac the bullion in a gold dollar he would have to coin the two metals in a thirty

Beneflciarles of Cheap Money.

Every period of the depreciation of the monetary unit has at once sent prices up, the prices of the merchant, who gets the news quickly, before those of the farmer, who gets the news mere slowly, and q long time before the wages of the laborer who cannot afford to hold his labor out of market till he gets a proportionate increase for it. Fixed incomes remain the same, and the rise of prices inficts great suffering on their recipients. Wages remain the same for time and rise slowly, and in the meantime the laborers complain that prices have gone up so that they cannot afford to buy enough food and clothing. The farmer gets two prices for all he sells and pays two prices for all he buys, and is no better off than he was before the change. The bencti- ciaries are debtors on obligations in- cured before the change, and these are not a very large class-many of them are also creditors and lose out of one pocket while gaining into the other and the spectators, some of whom al- ways make a profit in panics and crises and periods of sudden changes of values out of the losses of others.-N. !.

ChnnnInc with q DuIl Ax.

X frequently used argument for free coinage is the claim that it would make more work" As there are all ways some idle men who want employ ment, this promise is an attractive one, But, like all other silverite promises, 1t is based on a delusion. It is true that under free silver the farmers and labor CTS would have to work harder in order to get the same quantity of goods that they do now. In so far there would be more work, ," just as there would be if all the lumbermen were forced to chop with dull axes. But nobody wants that kind of an increase in work. Men do not really want work for itself, but for the things which they get in return for their labor A scheme which pro noses to make it more difficult to pro duce things is not likely to help the reople who already find that they have to work too hard and too long for too small a quantity of the things they need. Giving more opportunities for idle men to get employment is a public benefit. But making all who are now employed work harder for the same re- suits, which would be the effect of free silver, would be positive loss to the whole people.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
Why President Hayes, in 1878, Vetoed the Standard Silver Dollar Coinage Aet

President Hayes believed that ourn tlonal honor could not be too iealansIg guarded. In this he differed radically from our sixteen to one statesmen. wbo are anxious not only to see our govern ment repudiate one-half of it's debts but to see ene-half of all debts renndi- ated. 1t might be we'll for these bastr statesmen to ponder some of Hayes, reasons for yetoing the act (passed over hls head) to coin and make legal ter der silver dollars worth, in gold. only 50 to 9@ cents. He said that "tbe rigbt 10 pay duties in silver or in silver eer tltleates for silver deposits will. when they are issued in sufficient amount 10 circulate, put an end to the reeeip4 of revenue in gold, and thus compel the payment of silver for both the Driu- c1pal and interest of the public debt"
 lie said that nearly 5000, 900 of the funded debt then outstandino yyae issued since 1873, when gold alone was the com for which the bonds were sold and gold alone was the coin in which both parties to the contract understood that the bonds would be paid These bonds, he continues, "entered into the markets of the world. They were pad for in gold when silver had greatly de preciated and when no one would have bought them if it had been understood that they would be paid in silver"
 He believed that, in the judgment of mankind, it would be an act of bad faith notto guarantee that pre-existing debts should be paid in as good money as was legal tender when these debts were con tracted-in other words, that the gov ernment should not legalize the break ing of contracts. "The standard of val ue," he said, should not be changed without the consent of both parties to the contract. National promises should be kept with unfinching fidelity. There

Notthe Peoples Money.

The fiat-money advocates are very in- consistent in that they oppose the re- tirement of the greenbacks because they are "the peoples money" and at the same time protest against the bond issues by which the treasury reserve IS maintained For it is the greenbacks that are used by the wicked bankers and brokers to draw gold out of the treasury, thus making bond sales nec- essary. If there were no greenbacks the government could not be compelled to furnish gold on demand. So long .s there are $346,o0o, GOO demand notes out standing it will be necessary to buy gold in which to redeem them when they are presented at the treasury. The so-called peoples money" is proving very expensive to the people who pay the taxes which go to pay interest on gold bonds.

 Mir. Crisp warned his Atlanta hearers agaipst the people who are interested in maintaining the dearest kind of money.
