LIVE AND LET LIVE.

We may live without poetry, music and art
We may live without conscience, may live
without heart;
We may live without lovers, live without
hope;
We may live long life il we continue to
cope,
We may live without books, what is knowl-
edge but sorrow?
We may live without beauty. il fades on
the morrow;
We may live without lawsuits, but it is
still quandary,
How Columbia could live without the Steam
Laundry.
We can't live without clothing, but it is
needless to buy,
SO long rs the Laundry is living to dye;
But we can live and let live" IL we take
this advice,
Get your old clothing colored and save on
the price. 1t

A @Per Capita Conundrum.

Every true worshiper Of the silver
"fetich" believes as the first article OF
the free coinage gospel that if the guam
tity Of money is doubled prices will be
twice as high. This is the essence Of the
per capita argument and is considered
by both silverites and fiatists to be the
sum of financial wisdom. Second only
10 their faith in the sacred words per
capita" is the belief Of the cheap money
advocates that the undeniable prosperity
Of France is due to the fact that that
country has about $40 Of money for each
inhabitant. Attempts to show that III
reality the French people are prosperous
because Of their high level Of intelll-
gence, their skill in the industrial arts,
their system of land holding and meth
DDS of cultivation and the great and
varied natural resources Of the country
have had no weight with the one idead
silver agitators.
Since France has nearly twice as
much money per capita as the United
States, according to the believers in the
theory that the quantity of money fixes
prices, goods should be twice as dear in
France as in America. Now it is noto-
rious that such is not the case. On the
contrary, the products Of French mills,
factories, etc., are sold so cheaply that
it is necessary to impose heavy duties
on them to prevent their competition
with high priced American goods. viii
some per capita financier explain why
the large volume Of money i'll France
does not raise prices in that country?

Wages In Mexico.

There are really no wages III Mexico
All working people take what they can
get-that is, what the employer chooses
to pay. Wageworkers make so little
that there is no incentive to thrift, no
stimulation of energy. The classes are
the rich and the poor. There is no mid
die class. More hopefully perhaps it
might be said that a middle class is just
beginning to form. They who see no
hope of independence, or even of small
homes, naturally have no ambition. AS
soon as they get a very little money they
quit their employment and squander 1t.
Many employers make money, but their
prosperity is based on the degradation Of
labor. The men who do the heavy work
in the mines Of Mexico receive not moro
than - cents to 81 day in Mexican
money, or from 10 to 30 cents III actual
money for agricultural labor there never
is a quotable rate; hackmen and walters
at restaurants depend almost or wholly
on tips" which custom makes small,
and the money Of the country smaller;
house servants get from 81 TO S. a
month, rarely the higher price And let
1t be borne in mind that this is silver
money country, and that most things ex-
cept labor bear high prices.-Corre-
spondence Portland Oregonian.

FIXED INCOMES AND FREE SILVER.
All Who Labor VIII Find Their Wages
Cut In Half by the Silver Dollar.

All Who Labor VIII Find Their wages
Cut In Half by the Silver Dollar.
The Denver chamber of commerce,
replying to the appeal for sound money
issued by the New York chamber OF
commerce, says that resumption OF free
coinage of silver is Objectionable to per-
sons of fixed incomes.
This is true, but in sense broader
than its authors intended. Persons OF
fixed incomes are not merely million
aires or army or navy officers. All who
labor in this country, whether the pay
be called salary or wages, are also per-
sons of fixed incomes, and they decided
" object to having their incomes cut IN
half for the benefit of silver mine own
ers.
The blacksmith who makes SO
week, the carpenter at So per day, the
salesman at 81 900 year, the agricul-
tural laborer at 81. 80 a day, the teacher
at $40 per week, all are persons OF fixed
incomes. They find their incomes none
too large for their necessities. Why
should they not object to a slump to
silver, free and unlimited, for the ben
eft of those who own silver, but at
loss of 90 per cent in their fixed IN
comes?
1t is the labor Of the country that
most determinedly demands the gold
basis; that demands stability in the cur
rency; that objects most positively to
loss of half its fixed income.
Silver mine owners and agents must
reckon with this element, and it is a
mighty element at the ballot box. Let
platform writers note this fact as we'll
as silver mine capitalists. Chicago

was demonetized 23 years ago. Ever

how long will it take at this rate to Sc

Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1896-09-24

A gentleman crossing the English
channel stood near the helmsman. It
was calm and pleasant evening, and
no one dreamed Of possible danger to
their good ship, but sudden tapping
of sail, as if the wind had shifted,
caught the ear Of the officer on watch,
and he sprang at once to the wheel, ex-
aiming closely the compass.
"You are half point off the course"
he said, sharply, to the man at the
wheel. vi
The deviation was corrected, and the
officer returned to his post.
''.You must steer very accurately"
said the looker-on, when only half a
point is so much thought Of"
"Ah, half point in many places
might bring us directly on the rocks"
he said.
So 1t is in life. Half a point from
strict truthfulness strands us upon the
rocks of falsehood. Half point from
perfect honesty, and we are steering
right for the rock Of crime.

Low" Stronger Than Death.


That was a touching story told by
Mr.. Disraeli when announcing the
death of the Princess Alice in Parlia-
ment. She had been cautioned by the
physician not to inhale the breath Of
her little boy, who was i'll with diph-
iberia. The little fellow was tossing
In his bed in the delirium of fever The
princess stood by the side of her child
ana laid her hand on his brow, and be-.
gan to caress him. The touch cooled
the fevered brain and brought the
wandering soul back from its wild de-
llrium to nestle for a moment In the
lap or a mothers love. Then throw
ing his arms around her neck he whis-
pered, Mamma, kiss me-" The in
stinct of mothers love is stronger
than science, and she pressed her lips
to those Of her child. And yet there
Is not a woman in all the wide world
but would say she would not have had
a mothers heart If she had not kissed
her BARN. And so it will be to the
end OF time. The mother will kiss her
child, the wife her husband and the
lover his sweetheart, though death in
a thousand forms lie concealed be-
meath the vermilion coloring of the
poutlng lips.
