commission it must be referred to
each country separately for ratif-
cation, and if ratified by all then it
must be established and main
tanned by treaty. How long would
it take? Several years at least.
What could we do in case the agree
ment should turn out to be detri-
mental to the interests of the
United States? Nothing. It might
ruin our foreign trade, sweep our
navies from the seas, hamper us in
domestic Legislation and cripple us
in many ways, but we would be
bound by treaty obligations. to
break one of which would mean
war. Can this nation, which is
great producer of silver, afford to
20 into any such hazardous and
doubtful experiment? Must she
ally herself with monarchy. in her
financial legislation? -.
It is absurd, and not only absurd
but dangerous to the liberties and
future prosperity of the people of
this country. Any party that advo-
Gates such a policy is menace to
the republic and her institutions.
No, we can coin and use our own
money for our own purposes, and
if we have plenty of gold and silver
in circulation to do our own bust
ness our foreign commercial rela-
tons will take care of themselves.
We do not pay in gold but in pro-
duce and the gold bugs scare is
only kind of argument he uses to
fool the people, and his Internal
tional agreement is delusion and
a snare of the worst kind, undesir
able even if it could be secured.

agreed plan. Now, everybody
knows who knows any thing about
the subject that this country is
what is called debtor nation. Both
it and it's people are in debt to the
money loaners of Europe. They
hold our government bonds, our
railroad bonds, our state and city
bonds, and the bonds and mort
cages of our individual citizens.
They caused the characterization of
silver in this and other countries in
1873 for the purpose of cutting Oft
the future supply of money and
thus making the dollar more valu
able, higher priced, harder to get,
and consequently the bonds and
mortgag es they hold would have
to be paid in dearer money which
would take more labor to procure
and more produce to exchange for.
In that way they could silently
rob the country and her toiling
millions without their knowing
how it was done. Now, when
great many people have come to
see what the trouble is these cred
itor bondholders talk about an Gin
ternational agreement"
How absurd! Just think OF it!
You have given a mortgage on
your home. It is at 10 per cent inter-
est. You think it is too much.
You think you will try to secure
loan elsewhere at lower rate.
NO." says somebody, "don't try to
do that, go and fix things so that no
other loan can be secured and then
90 to the man who holds your
mortgage and ask him to enter into
a conference to reduce the rate OF
interest,"" Will he do it? No. He
knows your situation; you are at
his mercy; he knows it, and you
will have your labor for your pains.
It is Just the same with our coun-
try. A debtor country goes to her
creditors and asks them on her
Bonded knees to enter into an agree
ment which she cOnfesses is to Bet
ter her at their expense.
Will they agree to international
coinage? Not unless the agree
ment is such that it will be favor
able to Them If they can get an
agreement that will tie our hands
then they may consent, but not un-
less they do so.
A great many people do not
know anything about the practical
details that have to be considered.
Politicians never attempt explana-
tons of things they know they can
not explain and, therefore, we have
heard nothing about how the agree
ment is to be brought about.
The commissioners sent by the
various countries will not in them
selves have any power to perfect an
agreement that will be binding, be-
cause they are not like a congress
of states which cOnvenes and re-
convenes and can enact and repeal
it's enactmeuts and, therefore, when
any agreement is reached by a

The Election Contest.

The various officers elected at the
general election held on Nov. will
assume the responsibilities placed upon
them after the last day of this year,
the state supreme court having de-
cided that the election was a legal
one.
This settles the question for all time
tocOme.
The election law which was supposed
to have been so very flimsy. and
through the loop holes Of which so
many could see themselves still re-
tanned in office, stands-valid by the
decree of the court.
To US il is not a disappointment,
neither is it a surprise, because we
never were quite of the opinion that
the election would, be nullified. To
others it is no d Abt a sore disap-
pointment. The election itself was
never questioned; it was the validity
of the law under which the election
was held that was the vital question.
It was fair and honest open fight,
in which all parties contested for SUI
premacy. Democracy was success
full, and the court said that the will of
the people should be sustained. Just
how much the sting of defeat figured
IN bringing this contest is, of course,
hard to say. Perhaps there was moth
ing oe that kind at all: but it shows
plainly on its face-when you read
carefully the opinion Of the court-thst
there was no good reason for bringing

Bitters as Booze.

Salina Press: A travelling man who
was in the Press Office a few days ago,
among other things said that it would
shock anyone not familiar with the
fact to know of the foothold intemper-
ance is gaining in the smaller towns of
Utah, young men and even boys falling
victims to the vice. He cited a number
of towns in Willard county as illustra-
tons. 1t is common for country mer-
chants to handle various brands of
"bittefs," Jamaica finger, etc, and
many sell these villainous compounds
TO anybody having the money to buy
Thus it happens that boys hold wild
orgies at night, become beastly in
toxicated and start off on the road to
hell. No punishment would be too
severe to infiict upon a merchant who
sells liquor to growing boys. A life
term in the penitentiary would be a
mild correction.

ly, president of the Sheridan Milling
and elevator company, who was in the
city taking orders for flour, says that
for the first time in the history of
northern Wyoming wheat commands a
price that makes il profitable to ship
from the state and as far east as Kans-
as City, Omaha. and st. Louis. He has
shipped g. carloads of wheat the pres
ent season and as many more of flour
and mill stuff. Wyoming wheat took
first prize ct the worlds fair, and the
samples that Mr.. Snively carries with
him are world heaters. All the irri-
gated land in Wyoming will grow
wheat in abundance.
