United States, and are too vast for
any possible combination to control.
Under our liberal laws, mines are
subject to free appropriation by the
first discoverer, and there are large
districts undoubtly rich in mineral,
which have not even been prospected,
and thousands of promising leads
waiting for capital and labor TO de-
velop. The adoption of bimetallism
at the November election, and the
resulting advance in price of silver,
means an immediate demand for the

country with literature creating the
impression that there is a popular
demand for the single gold standard.
If they succeed at the coming election
it means that every note thereafter

MY LORDS, MY LADIES.

On last Monday was witnessed a
gathering at this place that had
more Of the air of royalty than any
gathering ever before seen. 1t ap-
peared that all the lords and ladies
of Richmond and vicinity had turned
out to welcome TO our midst
two men who spoke for
the oppression and final doom of the
debtor and middle classes of our
people. So many double teams and
royal livery were never in attend
ance here before. The golden rod
was the flower used in decorating
the room in which the speeches were
delivered. 1t was a fit emblem. If
the gold standard prevails this peO-
pie will truly be ruled with rod.
That assemblage ought to open the
eyes of some here who seem to be
unconcerned about the lot of their
fellowmen.

DINN'T WANT TO BET.

There have been ever so many men
who have had no end of fun in announc

on the election. There hasn't been any

been made with impunitY.

nounced that they bad any amount to

THE MONEY QEsTI0K.
The Common Sense OF II.

After many years of discussion the
financial question has resolved il
self into three. very simple propsi-
tions. AT least $50, 600 600 additional
circulation is required each year in
the United States to keep up with
the growth of population and bust
ness, aud the questions are, what
shall this money consist of, and
where shall it come from? The only
practicable plans are:
% To borrow from English capt.
talists, through their agents On Wall
Street. This plan has the disadvan-
tage of adding to our already burden
some foreign debt, and increases the
drain of money to pay annual inter
est charges.
(2) To authorize the National
Banks to increase their note issues
and offer them liberal inducements
TO that end. This would put in
few hands the entire control and
profits of the money supply of the
country and result i'm creating a mo-
nopoly so strong that it would be
virtually impossible at future time
to break its power. Please note that
neither of the above plans will give
employment to an additional man,
or benefit industry in any line.
f3) To adopt free coinage of both
silver and gold, and thereby increase
the production of American mines

additional money.

THE MOST LUXURIOUS CITY.
FABULOUS AMOUNTS SPENT YEARLY BY NEW
WORKERS.

John Gilmer Speed writes of the money
spent annually in "The Most Luxurious
City in the World" in the October
Ladies' Home Journal. He asserts in a
PREDATORY way that New York is the most
luxurious city in the world, and that ex-
penditures are made on mere living with
an elegance and OstentatiOn unknown In
any of the capitals OF Europe. The tOlal
worth OF New York would, if equally di-
vided, give to each man, woman and
child of that city S3,756 San amount
greater than any other city in the world.
Mr.. Speed states that $50 100000 are paid
annually to the lawyers of New York ;
S1l, 32S, 900 to physicians and surgeons /;
100000 to the clergymen; 8. 665 600
to architects; 81 100000 to dentists; Sl3,-
020, 600 to brokers. An aggregate OF about
Sl0O,0O0,0O0 is spent annually for cloth
ing, $4,000 600 for furs, S2O,OO0,OOO for
diamonds and other jewels, 8, SOC, 900 for
cut flowers and growing plants; $4,000
600 on yachting (the boats representing
an investment of S20,0OO,OOO), which is
something more than is spent yearly on
horses and carriages. The elevated rail
roads take in $4,000 OC0 for calfare, and
the surface lines Sl5 100000, a total Of
81, 100000 tor going about New York
Mr.. Speed estimates that 81, S37 800 are
spent by New Workers each year in Eu-
ropean travel, s. So, 500 of which go for
steamship tickets. New Workers spend
$4,000, 600 for beer and S90,0O0,OO0 for
wine and spirits-about sixty-six and
two-third dollars for each person per
year. In their gifts to charities New
Workers are most liberal, S9,000,0O0 being
the annual sum thus expended. More
money is spent in supporting and fur
thering church work in New York than
is paid all theatres and lighthouses of the
city. The total spent for amusements is
S. 90O, 1000, while considerably more than
100000 is contributed to the support OF
churches

ANOTHERsPU FOR TROTTERS

The Stock Farm, that reliable and pro-
gressive horse journal published at Lex
ington, KY. comes to the front again this
year with another liberal purse for trot-
tiers and PAGERS. The horsemen seem to
appreciate this effort in their behal {
since the publishers inform us that they
received over five hundred entries to a
similar purse given last year. The Stock
Farm certainly deserves to be successful
in their undertaking, as they are offering
to the horsemen of the country a chance
TO win more money for small invest
ment than was ever given them before.
In fact, 1t only costs the ridiculously low
sum of one-twertieth of one per cent to
enter, and less than one per cent to start
for purse of $1,000. They guarantee
the purse to be this amount and the NOM
inator is taking no chance whatever 9TH
er than that which depends upon the
ability of his colt to go fast enough to
win.
