WE notice a growing tendency
among Populists of different parts of
the state to mention the name of e..
w. Mckay, judge of this, the oath
judicial district, in connection with
different nominations this year. Last
week the Kingman Journal connect
ed his name with the nomination for
congressman of this district, others
have made reference to him as the
man for the Peoples party to put for
ward for judge of the appellate court,
and others have mentioned him as an
available candidate for chief justice of
the supreme court. While Judge Nc
Kay is one who could very ably fill any
OF these positions, yet 1t would be a
blunder for the party to even attempt
to nominate him for any Office before
his present term of Office expires. More
than this, Mckay will not tolerate the
use OF his name and we are authorized
to say that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
will he permit anyone to use his name
in connection with al nomination this
year. The Peoples party cannot make
mistakes of SO serious a nature this
year. We have plenty of timber and
available men in abundance and to
deprive the people of one whom they
have succeeded to elect little over a
year ago would be an irreparable ill.,
jury. Let us begin the campaign this
Year by making this declaration EN-.
phatic, that no man who has been ell
ected to an Office of trust whose term
has not yet expired, shall be nominated
by the Peoples party this year. 1t is
just to everybody and duty that the
| party must not overlook.

NEBRASKA Populists insist
upon Senator Aliens becom-
ing a candidate for presi-
dent on the Populist ticket
in spite of his refusal to form
ally consent to the use of his
name in connection with the
nomination. Whether Sena.
tor Allen is nominated OF
not, he is the kind of a. man
we need at the head. He has
nerve, backbone, brains and
a heart that beats in sym
pathy with the people. He
is foremost among American
statesmen and has made an
enviable record in the u. S,

INTRINSIC VALUE"
lAmerican Bimetaliist. ]

The gold standard advocates are con-
tinually talking about intrinsic value.
They go so far as to say that the value
of money depends entirely upon the
market value of the material ont of
which it is made and that the govern
ment stamp don't amount to anything.
They are constantly repeating the state
ment that the value of the gold COINS
depend wholly upon the market value
of tie metal, and that the stamp law
has nothing to do with it. There IS no
way of telling the actual market value
money for the reason that at no time
in the history of the world has there
been time when both were not used
as money. If neither were recognized
or used as money. as measure of val
ue TO facilitate exchanges, then they
would certainly fall very much in value.
The production of gold and silver from
the earlist history has been practically
III the ratio of sixteen pounds of silver
to one of gold, and that Is the reason
why the silver dollar should contain
about sixteen times as many grains as
the gold dollar. Now the people must
have steady measure of value. 1t
would be unhandy to use the raw mate
rial and If they had to 60 by the market
value it would be uncertain like the
price of corn, wheat. oats, etc., and
would have to be weighed and figured
up in every transaction, and no one
could tell in advance what he would
have to pay in the discharge of q debt
If the measure of value depended on
the market value, then the spectators
could run it up or down. 1t is for these
reasons that the necessity arises tor
some legal regulation. Money has but
two legitimate uses, that is as meas
ure of basis OF transactions and to
make the sale and exchange of proper
ty easy, then no one can be injured by
haying it's value regulated by law. 1t
Is to the interest OF everyone except
those who produce nothing but make
their living by specializing and gamb-
ling on money or some other commod-
ity. So the constitution has given con-
gress the power to make or stamp mon
ey and regulate the value of the same.
When it commands that % 8 10 grains
of gold and 4l2i grains of silver shall
be dollar, and makes them legal
tender for the payment of all debts,
then that amount of either metal Will
not go below one dollar. Such a law
regulates the value and makes it steady.
As long as the law recognized both
metals in that way upon equal terms
their value remained at the coinage
ratio. In fact. the experience OF ages
shows that when both are admitted at
the minis on equal terms the market
value of the raw metal will never vary
much from the value fixed by law. The
effect of the law and the uniformity of
production produces steady value of
the metals.

A DOLLAR, prior to the de-
monetization act of 1873, was
worth 100 cents, whether of
silver or gold. To say that
silver reconciliation would
at this time make the silver
dollar worth only SO cents
is to make a wild assertion
which is at once disproved
by history and for which
there is not a shadow of proof
nor the least semblance OF
reason.

Now that the Cresset has made so
much noise about the action of the
commissioners in the county printing
matter. it Will BIZ in order for that
economical sheet to explain why it was
that under republican board the Ores.
set was made the official paper at legal
rates. The Cresset has an idea that
theINDEX should do the county printing
at loss when we have populist board
or else not do the work at all. But
when we have republican board
that sheet is in favor of hogging it all
1t seems to be case of heads up win,
heads down you lose. Then again, we
have no doubt but that the Cresset
could be able to find man who would
be able to hold the Office of county clerk
for less than the salary allowed by law
and for that reason would favor the
dismissal Of Mr.. GaddIe and the ap-
pointment of good republican. Fol-
lowing along this line we would arrive
at dangerous terminus: When the
republicans are in power give them all,
in some cases, more than the law al
lows, but when the populists come into
power open it up to bids and sell to the
lowest bidder. We then have the re-.
publican party in power when it is IN
power and in power when it is out
of power. Oh how nice it would be to
catch 'em a-goin' and a-comin.' What
rare treat to have republicanism SUI
preme at all times. We are glad the
popullsts have their eyes open and we
are pleased to note that they will no
longer assist the republican party to
annihilate the reform press.
