 Fiat Shad.

The United States fishery commission distributes annually millions of shad fry, many of which escape their natural enemies and grow to be marketable food fish. It is believed that this process of restocking the rivers is of great service in maintaining the shad fisheries.
 When the Populists and silverites get control of the government, they will at once introduce @ reform which will save all the expense of propagating the young shad. This will be done by simply printing the words "This is one shad" on millions of bits of paper, which will be thrown into the rivers. Instead of setting nets, the shad fishers will then go out i'll boats and gather up the paper. On presentation at the fish commission G's office each paper will be redeemed in one boneless shad, produced by a Populist genius who has discovered 8 method of crossing the ordinary shad with the hitherto worthless jellyfish. 'Fiat fish and no bones" will be the platform of the shadites in the year 1900.-W. D.

the American people today is the maintenance of tho gold standard. for there IS nothing which so effects inc Welfare of the working people. who are tne bone and sinew cf this country. as 'he preservation of thc purchasing DOW CT CT then wages. Under the free insti- eotlons of this country the ballot has been lnt1usted to every man, ricil or poor, black or white. 4 reduction Of the pufehasing power ef wages is q lowering of the manner of living of the Wofkingman.
 IS It Rot worse than madness to nnfler- take to degrade the great mass Of yoters to whom has been intrusted the ner- romance of the grave duties which the suiIrage imposes, and upon whose rieht performance depends the security of ey- cry dollar Of property and the safety of every individual in this country? That IS the vital question which underlies any mere economical or pecuniary con- slderatlon of this subject. We are in duty bound to preserve the higher man. hood of the American workingman as contrasted with that of the foreign work lngman. No policy can succeed whose effect will he to reduce the free and in- dependent workingman of this country to the level of the laborers in silver Standard countries.

Workingmen Will Suffer -.oss by Cheap
 enins the Dollar.
 In Mir. Carlisle's instructive speech to the Chicago workingmen he especial ly directed their attention to the extent to which working men and women in the United States are themselves entitled to be ranked in the class of capitalists and creditors. Fer the purpose of readier ap- prehension we have set out in tabular form statement of depositors and de- posits in the banks Of the country:
 Number of Amount of
 DeBasiters. Deposits. Savings banks. s15, 5l9 Sl s10. .597 OO0 State and private banks
 and trusts. ts.........4....l .500 O00 L I34O SSS OOJ National banks. ........ s29, $40 l,70l Gas 52i Of the depesitors i'll the national banks 1 ,724 900 persons had sums less than $1, 900 to their credit. These fig ures serve to show who own the bulk of the bank deposits.
 Now the whole amount of money of all kinds i'll circulation ill the United States is as follows:
 Gold sc0o. .000 O00 oliver ana silver certlhcates..,..,. 5O0, OVOU UO0 Subsidiary silver. ver................... 73,000, ,000 Greenbacl1s. ............ 8l8, ,O00 0O0 National bank notes............... 2l5,O0O 0U0
  Total and worth in gold. 7se, ,OoO oOO It will be perceived that the depositors ill the savings banks have more money to their credit i'll those institutions than the amount of all the gold, silver and paper currency in the country, besides the still greater sums held for them by the national and state banks, trust com panies and private bankers The build ing associations owe to their members $500, 900, 900. Insurance companies owe q still larger sum.
 In the light of the fact that money is only measure of value, what interest can the workingmen of the United States have ill cutting down the measure one- half so that every dollar of the immense amount which the banks and other in- stitutions owe to them in gold can be paid with silver at the rate of 90 cents on the dollar?-Philadelph Record

How Calamity flowing Hurts.

1t is an established fact that per feetly healthy man can be made to feel symptoms of illness by the assurance of @ number of persons that he is looking very sick. The influence of the imagi- nation on bodily health is admitted by all physicians.
 It is no less certain that the condi- ton of trade and industry depends largely on the opinions of manufacture CTS and other employers of labor as to the prospects of q good demand for their products Owners of capital will not invest i'll new industries unless they think they will be successful. When the business outlook is doubtful, there is no encouragement to enterprise, and trade and production languish
 During the past few years lot of office seeking agitators have been howl ing in congress and i'll calamity newspa- pers that this great country was on the verge of ruin for lack of 50 cent silver dollars. In season and out of season have they cried Hard times!" and Business stagnationi" No matter what the condition of trade might be they have insisted that everything was going to eternal smash unless free and un- limited coinage law was adopted by congress. They are still keeping up the racket, and are doing their level best to show that the country is practically bankrupt
 Even though it is known that the as- sertions of the silverites are unfounded, their constant preaching of blue ruin and despair has had the result of soaring investors and business men generally, and thus bringing about some of the evils which it was alleged free silver would cure. It would be difficult to oyerestimate the widespread injury caused by the senseless clamor of the prophets of gloom who worship the sil- yer pig. If the American people who want good times and permanent pros perity are wise, they will in November bury the calamity walters so deep un- der sound money votes that they will never again rise to vex the country with their doleful strains. -Whidden Gra- ham.

Constitution says:

The Atlanta Constitution says:
 No man can be bimetallist or have any conception of bimetallism who is in favor of measuring all values in gold. "
 The Constitution cannot point to a country i'll the world which has prac- tical bimetallism that is not on the gold basis.
 It cannot point to a country in the world which has the free and unlimited coinage of silver that is not OH q silver basis. It cannot point to a country ill the world that has the free and unlimited coinage of silver that has also bime- tallic currency The only countries which use both gold and silver as cur rency are the gold standard countries. And yet the advocates of the free. un- limited and independent coinage of sil- yer call themselves biInetallists.

The Philadelphia Times says of Sen ator Buffers proposition to make the Mexican dollar and Japanese yen full legal tender in the United States that "the proposal to increase the number Of half price dollars only shows that Sen ator Butler and those who agree with him care very little for public or pri. vate integrity. If the present flood Of debased silver coin is to be doubled by foreign importation of the same sort r. somebody is going to De swlhdIea, The Philadelphia Telegraph says; me stiffness of the whole business IS further shown by the fact that not ten men Ill North Carolina ever heard Of . Japa- nese yen, and very few more of them ever saw or are eyer likely to see Mex ican silver dollar.

What Senator Butler Thinks He Thinks,

What Senator Butler Thinks He Thinks.
 Senator Marion Butler of North Caro- lima is the proud possessor of a powerful mlnd which evolves great gobs of finan- elal wisdom. Not satisfied with making five speeches week in congress and grinding cut cheap money editorials for his weekly Populist paper, the Tarheel statesman writes piece in The Arena magazine which he calls "Why the South Wants Free Coinage. ]" It is q truly original and brilliant Populist ar- gument aid is about as clear and con yIheing as a statement of the reasons Why the west wants free grasshop- pers, CT Why the north wants free lunch J
 According to Senator Butler. e.the south wants the free and unlimited coinage ef silver on equal terms with gold, as it was before 1873, be- cause this would make twice as much money as if gold alone CT silver alone were coined in full legal tender dollars '' Since nobody proposes to take away the legal tender quality of the 422, 900, GOO silver dollars already coined this does not apply to existing conditions and is therefore no reason for the south favor ing free silver. Besides, the implication that free coinage would make twice as much money as we have under the gold standard simply is not true. If Senator Butler and his 16 to l friends had had their way the country would at once drop to q silver basis. This would im- mediate]y drive out of circulation our $625, GOO, 900 ill gold, leaving us with less than half of the money NC have ROW. How would that help the people i'll the south who say they want more money? Perhaps Senator Butler realizes that silver monometallism, which would inevitably be the result of his free silver scheme, would decrease our stock of mon- ey instead of increasing it. So he goes on 10 explain that Eff the free coinage of both metals (meaning the forced coin age of silver at ratio so far above it's bullion value that no gold would be coined) should not make enough money, then the south wants mere legal tender dollars made of something else furnish ed by the government :" It is pity that he does not explain what the something else is to be. Would it be nickel, cop per, tin, iron, lead or real Populist brass? How much something else" would be coined, and at what ratio with pig silver? And how would the govern ment know when the south or the cheap money section of its people, had enough" money? Would it be $50, $500 CT $5, coo per capita?
 The something else" theory of finance is u sample of the rest of Senator Buffers claim that the farmers of the south want 50 cent dollars for their cot ton and corn. and that the southern workingmen want to be paid their wages in dollars which will buy only half as much as these they get now. It may be true that great many people i'll tho south think they want free silver at Is to 1. But it is to be hoped that, deluded as they are, they have better reasons for their belief than those given by the sen ator who lnisrepresents North Carolina.
