Plutocracy illustrated.

In answering correspondent the
New York World quotes from the CEN
sus of 1890 to show that 5000 families
own over $12. 00O 600. 900. OO0-over twelve
thousand million dollars-of the wealth
of the United States.
At such time as this. the World Is
not likely to be accused of assisting
the Democratic party. So, accepting
its figures, let us see what they mean.
The total assessed value of all real
and personal property IN Nebraska I'M
der the census of 1890 was 1884, zoo, 900;
of Missouri. 1887, 100000; of Illinois,
$500, 00O.0 of Kansas, $347 900, 900; of
Kentucky. $547, 900, 900; of Tennessee,
1882 OOO. 900; of Colorado, 1920, 00O. 900; Of
Texas, $4,000 900; of Alabama, $685.
100000; Of Mississippi. sl66, 900; Of
Indiana, 1856. O00. 900. and of California,
81, 101, 900. 900.
The combined assessed wealth, real
and personal, of these twelve great
states Of the west and south, as shown
by the census of 1890, foots up between
six and seven billions, while the COM
bined wealth of 5000 plutocratic fami-
lies foots up over twelve billions-near-
ly twice as much.
What more need be said ?-St. Louis

we have never asked, and never will.
ITO coin money and regulate its
value" is the constitutional right of the
American people. by them vested in
congress, and should not be invaded by
private contracts or otherwise.
On questions OF policy. or the best
possible relief from existing conditions,
we think and let think. We make no
partisan plea. Our plea is for charity,
thoroughness, honesty and courage.
Neither partisan clamor, nor abusive
epithet nor self-assumed and self-as-
serted honesty, soundness. or anything
of the kind. should weigh a feather
with intelligent and patriotic Ameri-
can citizens. The partisan slogan
sound money" honest dollars" Is a
bald begging of the question and an Of
tense of millions of men as honest as
the sun ever shone on. The intensity
of factional and partisan spirit Is true
ly revelation Of the magnitude of the
issue and of the interests involved.
Honest money must mediate impair
TALLY between debtor and creditor.
The terms and history of the promise
to pay must have due recognition. If
the creditor, after the relation is es-
tablished. acquires control of gold bull
ion he has no right to ask that coinage
be limited to gold. If the debtor ac-
quires control of silver he has no right
to demand freer coinage of silver than
existed when his debt was incurred.
The law of immutable Righteousness,
therefore, requires that the govern
ment, under which the relation of debt
or and creditor exists, shall coin
money and regulate its value"
Money so coined and regulated, wheth-
er gold or silver or both, Is sound" and
honest money" and neither debtor nor
creditor can justly complain of law
which makes it legal tender for debts.
So far as the administration of our
church extension work is concerned we
shall do our best, under the unavoida-
BILE difficulties, and will give those in
debted to our loan fund the best pos
sible opportunity to meet their obliga-
tions. We will most gladly receive in
full payment of principal and interest
the so-called "fifty-three-cent dollars"
or any other lawful money of the Uni
ted States. A. ]. KYNETT.

GOLD WILL 60 BACK.
If Mckinley is Elected it Will Flow
Back Says London Times.

London Oct. 23.-The Times in its
financial article discusses the chances
of the gold boards in the United States
coming back after the election. and
thinks that such a movement may be
anticipated because the two wealthy
nations on the continent want gold
and viii even pay a small commission
in order to obtain it.
But it is necessary to consider two
contingencies says the Times. First.
that the election of Mckinley is likely
to give an impetus to imports into the
United states and this to increase the
tendency of gold to go to Europe. Sec
ond, if Bryan is badly beaten Europe
viii freely purchase American securf-
ties and thus to a great extent neutral
ize the effect of the increase in imports
1t is believed in some quarters that
the credits obtained here in the last
two months are largely the result Of
financial operations. such as the nego-
tiation of II month loans by railway
companies If that opinion be correct
there may be more grain and cotton

II the Chicago Records postal card
poll of the city of Chicago and the
states is not more accurate than its poll
OF Kansas, it viii be open to the charge
that it is greatly misleading. Accord
ing to the latest figures given out by
the Record Mckinley viii have a ma

There is considerable difference in the
claims Of the fusionists and the Repub-
leans as to their pluraHties in this
state. The fusionists claim the state
viii go for Bryan from 900 to 25OOO
at the very least calculation; and the
Republicans claim that the state will
give Mckinley about $1,000 or 10000
majority.
OF course, it is impossible that the
claims of both committees can be YER
filed at the polls The fusion managers
explain the Republican figures by say
ing that they are 'whistling to keep
their courage up" and that they know
that the claims that they are making
are not correct. The Republicans say
on the other hand that the fusionists
have no poll of the state and that they
are lndulging in guesses or that they
are prevaricating to deceive voters.
But when the Record presents its fig
ures it knocks the statisticians of both
committees out and is distrusted by the
members Of both the Republican and
fusion committees
When the Republicans are disposed to
accept the general results of the pol,
because it gives the state to Mckinley
they find on analyzing the figures that
they are grossly exaggerated in most OF
the counties where the poll shows any
gain for Bryan at all they say that it
is incorrect. The Record says:
