have about so children of school age
who have to walk two and a half miles
to a country district to get the advan-

bleak, hilly country that makes it near
~ impossible for the small children to
attend in the winter time.
The difficulty is that the town of Pot

in two country districts. one of which
is partially in LeavenwOrth county. Can
some one suggest a way out for these
good people, 1t is not only evident but
absolutely necessary that they should

HAVE COME TO STAY.

The goidites are very much disturbed
because the silver party has resolved to
act Independently of the two old parties.
They are employing their usual tactics
to deceive the people. For example:
The Associated Press, which belongs to
Wall street, says that the silver party is
only provisional and is waiting to see if
one of the old parties will not declare
for silver This is absolutely false. The
conference that met in Washington, D.
c., on the 22d of January, knew, as the
people of the United States are begin
ming to learn, that both of the old par
ties are owned by the Rothschild COM
bination. They will undoubtedly in
crease the volume of their lies to make
the people believe they are friendly to
the money Of the constitution, but twen-
ty years of lying on the subject has in
creased the difficulty of making the peo-
pie believe their lies this year. If Mr..
Sherman, Mr.. Allison, Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Har-
rison, Mr.. Cleveland. Mr. Carlisle, Mr.
Hill, and their associates and followers
had been for silver. for the last twenty
years. does anybody believe that we
would not have had free coinage? 1t
is very strange if all the public men
in both the old parties are friendly TO
silver and in earnest to have it restored
to the place it occupied previous to the
crime OF 1873, and have been SC for
twenty years. that al, their votes have
been in favor of the single gold standard.
The enemies of the people may as well
understand that the Silver Party HAS
COME TO STAY and that no amount OF
promises will avail them now. Any cit
iZen that would believe a goldbug who
has declared for twenty years that he is
in favor OF silver and every time voted
for gold, when he repeats his lie that he
is in favor of silver, ought to be slave.
The only weapons of defense left in the
hands of the robbers are bribery and lies.

you cranks talk when you are cornered.
Il am not cornered,' said the editor.
"You are more at home in corners than L
am. The fallacy and sophistry is in the
claim that either gold or money has in
trinsic' value. Gold has the money
value which the laws of any country
declares it shall have. The original gold
basis country sets the pace and, impos-
ing it's gold-basis upon the world, it has
imposed it's price upon gold also. Eng
land says, every troy ounce of gold
eleven-tWelfths and one pennyweight fine
is entitled to an equivalent in English
legal tender to f3 It's. 1O1hd. The United
States law at present says, '23.22 grains
pure or 25.8 grains nine-tenths fine is
dollar The sovereign power in each
country establishes it's money unit, and
gives it it's name, in its own jurisdiction,
BIZ law. Due regard is of course
paid to the fact that England
has set a price on each end every
ounce OF gold that presents itself within
it's realm-coined or uncoined. But each
nation declares by law how much gold
shall constitute it's money unit, or be
equivalent to it's money unit; and there
by it fixes money price for gold. Thus
the price becomes the commodity price,
or the commercial value for the reason
that no one will sell it for less because
they can obtain that price for it. The
inhabitant of any couAtry has no other
conception of the money of his country
than that which the law creates. You
know what the dollar, or our money
unit, is, only because the law so de-
clares. And having given gold it's value
by law, the money power deludeS itself
and endeavors to educate others in the
delusion that gold has an intrinsic
value"
"Do YOU claim that the law fixed the
value of gold to the extent that the value
cannot vary" asked wage-worker.
"The law fixed the money value only
of gold, by fixing the quantity of gold
which should constitute a money unit"
answered the editor. But" he contin-
ued, 1.-The value of the money unit, as re-
lated to other commodities, is expressed
in it's purchasing power over those COM
mOdities. The value of unit of any
commodity is affected by an alteration
in either the supply of or the demand
for the commodity itself: and the value
of the money unit varies for the same
reason. Alter the number of units in the
volume, and you alter the value of each
unit in the volume. An honest dollar
is a dollar whose value is stable and un-
VARYING; which demands neither more
nor less, tomorrow, next week, or next
year. then it demands today. Such dol
lar can he attained only by system
which will make the supply of dollars as
related to the demand for dollars always
the same, just enough; no more, no less
For this reason Congress alone should
regulate the value of dollar by con-
trolling the number of dollars that are
