BOW MONEY rs MADE.

It is a too common belief that the
government stamp on gold coin IS
it's value. Nothing could be farther
from the fact. The bullion in a gold
coin of whatever denomination is
equal TO its face value, as can be read
lily prOven.-GlObe-De Democrat
If not the government stamp what
is it that gives the gold coin its value7
Two facts contribute to fix the value
of the gold coin and the bullion it con-
tains at the same unvarying figure
One is the law which says that spec
flied amount of bullion can be convert
ed into a specified amount of coin at
the will of the possessor and free Of
cost. The other is the law which says
that after the stamp of the government
has been placed on a specified amount
of bullion, that then, but not before,
that metal shall be competent to dis
charge all obligations to the amount
stamped on its face, between the indt-
viduaI citizens of this government, or
between the citizens and government.
The citizen accepts it and passes it
along. He can buy what he chooses
with it and pay his taxes. whether lev
led directly through whisky and tobac-
co. or a tariff. The piece of metal bear
ing the government stamp may be
worn by use until the stamp is scarce
" discernabIe. so in fact that he knows
it does not contain the amount of met
al which the stamp of the government
says it does. but he never questions it.
He knows it will pay all his debts at
the rate named on its face, and that's
all he wants.
When a piece of metal, bearing the
stamp of the United States government
crosses the Atlantic, it is no longer
money in any sense of the word. 1t is
taken by weight at the price in ac-
cordance with its coinage value in the
country. If it happens to be silver it
has no coinage value. and is taken at
a valuation arising from the demand
for it for uses other than as money.
So 1t will be seen that if not the stamp
at least the law behind the stamp does
give part of it's value to the gold coin
in the same way that the value of any
thing is increased, that is by increasing
the demand for it. If gold were no
longer stamped as money its value as
compared with everything else which is
now measured by it, must of necessity

ADVERTISING THE FESTIVAL.

ADVERTISING THE FESTIVAL
While our own people in Topeka are
working bravely and successfully for
the greatest jubilee and festival that
any city OF its size ever undertook, there
is one part Of the work that should not
be overlooked. It is the advertising of
the affair in the press of the state.
While there is a committee on adver-
Using, its work will be more or less
ineffective unless it has plenty OF help
and plenty of reading matter to scat
ter among the newspapers of Kansas.
The Kansas editors should be given
every courtesy and encouragement to
help make the Reunion and Fail Festi-
val known the length and breadth of
Kansas.
The State Journal is in position to
know how much the Festival is being
advertised in the Kansas press. as it
receives all Of the principal daily and
weekly newspapers at its Office. sever
al hundred in number.
These papers are not taking note Of
the Fall Festival in the manner that
we should like to see. Many kind no
tees have been published. but not
enough or as generally as they should
be.
The Journal suggests that the adver-
Using committee be largely augmented
in numbers. that it be provided with a
stenographer and plenty of stationery
and that personal letters of invitation
be sent to thousands of the leading cit
liens of Kansas.
We are pretty sure to have $4,000 peo-
pie here Fall Festival week, but with
vigorous advertising we may make it
twice as many.

PERRY IN WASHINGTON.
The Fort Scott Attorney Speaks of
the Kansas Political Situation.


Washington, July 29.-W. c. Perry of
Fort Scott, United States district at
torney for Kansas, is at the Riggs.
He is a young man of decided talents,
and is a sound money Democrat of the
straightest sect. On being asked by a
reporter his opinion of the outlook in
Kansas regarding the political cam
paign, Mr.. Perry said:
"An indications point to fusion be-
tween the silver Democrats and the
Populists. Taking the vote of 1892 as
basis, which is a fair way to look at it,
on account of the fusion that existed
that year, the combined vote Of the
PopuHsts and Democrats is about
equal to the Republican vote. That
year the fusion ticket, state and ma
tional, exceeded by 1000 the vote cast
by the Republicans. I think, there
fore, that the chances are decidedly in
favor Of Bryan and SewalI this year.
The Kansas Populists, you viii notice,
are in favor of Bryan, and the cause is
that they want Democratic help in
electing a legislature and state officers.
THE situation is not without it's cur
ious features. There will be some bolt
ing on both sides: a percentage of
sound money Democrats will not sup
port the Chicago ticket. They are dis
pleased both with the nominee and the
platform. But the number of RepubIi-
cans that are dissatisfied with McKin-
ley and the St. Louis platform must be
equally as great.
'Friendliness to silver has been part
Of the creed of Kansas Republicans,
and it puts them in a very awkward
predicament to let go of their often
avOWed principles for the sake of party
fealty. Congressman Curtis and Brod-
erick, who are candidates for re-elec-
ton, have declared themselves for free
silver, and Messrs. Blue and Calder
head are the only sound money men
in the delegation. The former has been
re-nominated, and is going to make the
fight again on sound money lines,
though his district is supposed to be
thoroughly infected with the 16 to l
idea.
Ex-Governor LeWelling wants to get
back in the gubernatorial chair, and he
is quite Jealous in advocacy of Bryan.
His rival is ex-Congressman William
A Harris, also a Bryan man. Mr.. PEI
fer wants reelection to the senate, and
Chairman Breidenthal, of the Populist
party, would also like the honor Both

1t is proper that the supreme court
should have its due and that it should
be accorded all the praise which it has
merited. but the above is simply gush.
The supreme court has been no bet
ter than other branches of the govern
ment and has been warped about by
partisanship and special interests just
as have the legislative and executive
branches. It is a political body and
has been such for many years. if not

has been a representative of the party
in power at the time of his appoint
ment.
In deciding political or economic
questions the court has rarely failed to
divide on party lines.
The settlement of the Tilden- Hayes
controversy was a case in point. The
legal tender cases furnish additional
examples.
The court at first decided by a vote
of i've Democrats to three Republicans
that the government had no right to
issue legal tender paper money. After
the court had been REINFORCED by the
addition of enough Republicans in or
der to do which it was necessary to
increase the number of judges from
eight to nine. the former decision was
reversed by five Republicans to four
Democrats.
When the matter again came up in
1884 there was but one Democrat on the
bench. and the last preceding decision
was sustained by a vote of eight to one.
The opinions of the court and some of
its decisions made public by members
Of the court itself in connection with
the income tax decision do not justify
the encomiums of the Herald.
