supply is made to go or come at
the ready bidding of demand?
All men agree that the supply
of money should be stable. Even
plutocracy does not forget to assert
that gold is the most stable of
metals. The volume Of money, as
much as the volume of products,
affects prices. Hence the necessity
of stability, necessity that is en-
phasized, since a change in the
supply of a particular product
produce affects no price but it's own
or, at the most, only of those that for
it can readily be substituted; while
change in the volume of money
effects all prices-not only of all
products, but the wages of all labor
and the value of all obligations to
pay money.
All the evils of our financial sys-
tenn arise from changes in the ratio
of supply and demand. instability
built up monopoly and now mono
poly perpetuates instability. Mon
opoly is instability.
Demand constantly varies. Sta
bility of the ratio between supply
and demand is not produced by
dead-level volume as assumed by
the per capita theory, though even
that would be vast improvement
on the selfish and arbitrary fluctu-
atoms engendered by the bank
trust
What is wanted, as before stated,
is enough to do the business of the
country on cash basis. Supply
must weld automatically to every
legitimate demand. When not
hampered by artificial restriction
nature works automatically. And
the closer we follow her methods the
more wisdom we display. Under
the proper system the necessity OF
more money will itself produce the
increased supply. When demand
dwindles Immediately and in like
ratio the supply should cease to
come. Like the connection be-
tween a constant reservoir and a
supply tank which permits a ready
flow of ust SO much as may be
taken out, SO the supply of money
should yield instantly IS demand
varies. The quantity Of money
should not be permitted to affect
changes in prices (which legitimate
ly should result only from the
the changes in the ratio of supply
and demand for each separate
article.
No monetary system can deal
Justly so long as money is permit
ted to affect values. BY it's defni-
ton money is said to be "a measure
of value" This function results
from the law of supply and demand
which, as it affects price, originates
deep in nature, and even if we
would, could not be overturned.
But money being a creation of law
it's volume is under absolute con-
troll of government. Its supply
can be Regulated and justice de-
mands that the effect upon prices
be reduced to zero. How: BY

The Woman's Literary Club.


The Woman's Literary Club is the name
of very successful though young society in
our city. II was started littleEmore than
year ago by a group of teachers and was
called the Rlskin Club, but the name and
purpose have been broadened to the one
above given. The meetings are held on
every alternate Saturday afternoon at the
homes of the members.
The society through its program conlffllt-
tee, Misses Maytie E. Morrice, Lou e. Sat-
terlee and Maud Metz, prepared an excel
lent program for work extending from Octo-
Der 18th, 1895. to May Cd, 1896. The
meetings thus far have been devoted
to the topics handled by Prof. Zeublin in
the university extension course. This pro-
gram has been printed in neat note book,
the alternate leaves of which are left blank
for the purpose of taking notes. The meet
ing of January 4th considered current events
while the last meeting, held on January Is,
at the home of Miss Fannie Jones, was de-
voted to social Christianity. The roll call
was responded to with quotations from Mrs.
Wards "History of David Grieve," which
was the text book of the meeting.
Miss Satterlee, without reference to any
notes, gave review of David Grieve, telling
the entire story in a concise and entertain
ing manner. Miss Mana Needels then fol-
lowed with a carefully prepared paper en-
titlad ssyVbot oa N tho Nhurob do 70 ool,,a tho
Social Question:" She called attention to
what the church had done, and what it is
now doing, and pointed out what it is capa-
BILE of dong through social settlements and
other church institutions, provided they
were inspired with true love for our neigh
bors. Miss Jones read from the New Eng
land Magazine an article in regard to wheth
er Carlyle or Ruskin was the greater re-
former
The membership of this club is limited to
twenty-five members who are teachers IN
our city, and as many of them have their
homes in other places it is proposed to ex-
tend this number so as to include ladies
whose permanent home is in Ow0sso, and
thus insure the perpetuity of the club.
However, this Limitation ought not to be
subject of envy but rather an inspiration to
others to form similar clubs. There is room
for several more women's clubs in Owosso.
The officers of this club are: President,
Mana II. Needels; vice president, Edna M.
Ravens; secretary, Dede l.. Sickles; treas
urer, Mabel Trask; critic, Marie Brewer.
At the next meeting which will be held with
Miss Salteree, the club will begin the study
of the prophets of Modern Literature"
Emerson being the first one to be studied.

DEMAND FOR GOLD.

A. H. Krosche1, young German, Yht

According to the victim, he had borrow
ed, some time before, $1,000 in golt
from neighbor and went into the gro

had no use for the money and. Tuesday
morning about ten o'clock he startee
from Albany to return it to his friend
He crossed the bridge and when within
half a mile of the Oak Grove school
house, he was held up.
Two men sitting on fence asked for
some money to ''get something to eat, y
and being refused, showed revolver in
his face. The larger of the two kept
Kroschel under aim, while. the smaller
took the thousand dollars, another $40
in gold and six dollars in silver-also a
cheap pin. Then they left him and took
to the woods Kroschel went home and
he and his brother, armed with shotguns,

Wednesday evening several. men were

rode by, and each party thought the 9TH

Rickard and Skipton, who hurried after
them to capture the bandits. The two

When Rickard ard Skipton had got
about miles, Henry Hector came riding
rapidly up and, seeing 1.-The sheriff, told
him that two thieves had rode by the
campfire, .and that he had again Jast

and sent Hector riding after the sup

parties were on the same mission. Rick

GRAND WORK.

The result in Oregon is par
ticularly gratifying. Ithas been
a fight against odds. Mckinley
managers were confronted with
combined opposition of 5000
votes and a serious loss of repub
1ican voters. The outlook was
certainly disheartening. But the
apparently impossible has been
accomplished and we are proud
of Oregon.
To Mr.. Hirscll and Mr.. Denny,
too much credit cannot be given.
They have been vigilant and
tireless. The management of
the campaign could not have been
in better hands.
1t must also be said that the
attitude of the -Oregonian, from
the very beginning of the hnan-
cial agitation, has preserved a
nucleus of sound money senti-
.1nent around which has gathered
the Mckinley movement III Ore
gon. The country republican
press has done valiant service
for the cause.
Binger Hermann, w. R. Ellis,
and Thomas Tongue have work
ed faithfully and effectively.
Senator Mcbride, as far as his
health would permit, has spoken
and worked for the man from
Ohio, and the eloquent and per-
suasive gentlemen who have CIV
en- up their time and talents for
the sake of the cause, are entitled
to a great share of the credit for
Oregon's position.
The turn of the tidein Oregon,
however, was due more to John
II. Mitchell than to any other in
huence. When Mitchell began
to stump. the state, the real work
on the part of the republicans
began. His presence infused con-
ndence, strength came ITolil nope,
and the successful!iassault upon
the opposition majority was i'll
augurated. "
Tie assistance OF. thousands of
real democrats throughout the
state, made success possible.
Their patriotism is not tinged
with hope of personal partizan
reward, and on that account they
can justly claim a greater joy in
the triumph.
Every man who worked and
voted against the Chicago ticket
can take a just pride in the re-
suit. The 10th day of Noveln-
Der will be a day of thanksgiving,
indeed.

A Great Demonstration


Last Saturday the republicans
held their final rally and it was a
glorious success. The rain and
the mud, of which there was
plenty, failed utterly to dampen
the enthusiasm or interfere with
the parade. The streets were
crowded with people and yellow
badges were very much in evil
dence. '~ - -
Ata11 O'Clock there was a., pa
rade of horsemen. AS they came
down the street on magnificent
mounts, four abreast, they pre-
sented fine appearance and re-
ceived hearty applause.
