Venezuela Done With Silver and Paper.
By constitutional amendment, now
ratified, Venezuela has moved upward
from the silver to the gold standard.
The amendment reads:

public, shall in any case or for any mo-
tive issue paper money nor declare as
legal tender any bank notes or any 9th
Or value represented In paper, nor shall
the coming of silver or nickel be ordered
without previous authorization Of con-
gress, subject to the same procedure as
in the enactment Of other laws

tries, she has decided that fat money,
whether of paper or silver, handicaps
her industries by keeping capital away.

compelled to abandon in order to ac.
quire an advantageous place among

Trying to Hurt Business.

The silverites who are bowling about
"hard times" and appealing for votes
for free coinage On the ground that bus
mess is dull are very careful not to give
any particulars as to the way in which
their scheme will improve matters. This
neglect of very important part Of a
new policy can only be explained by the
absence Of any facts which would sup
port the free silver theories.
What do these cheap money shouters
expect, anyhow? How could business be
good with q lot Of agitators stirring mp
the whole country with their threats Of
upsetting the financial system on which
business has been transacted for the last
20 years? Are the owners Of capital
likely to invest it i'll productive industry
so long as there is danger that free
silver congress will confscate one-half
Of it? Will any sensible man lend money
to start new enterprises if there is the
slightest reason for thinking that he
will not get it all back? Is it any Won
der that there should be idle men when
investors are afraid to part with the
money which should 60 to build mills
and factories and give the workers en-
ployment?
The silverites would hardly be sur
prised if after a lot of fireworks had
been set off near horse the frightened
animal should run away. Now should
they find any reason for surprise if their
threats of reputation and financial
revolution should not scare the country
into prosperitye

REPRESENTATIVE {Iunbv il II,

Representative Gunby is the
author of a bill now before the
legislature "making it criminal for
any agent or owner of any trans
portation to give, or for any MEM
Der of the Legislature or any state
OF parish official, during his term
of office, to accept a free pass"
1t doesn't matter much about the
state or parish officials, as they
can afford to dispense with the
free pass, but bill Of this kind
would certainly intlict hardship on
the average country editor, who
receives his subscriptions in garden
sass and promises to pay Lake
Charles Echo.
Well, it would not affect the
country or any other kind Of an
editor. His pass is not free, be
cause he always gives value re.
ceived for it in advertising and no
law could he passed to prohibit
the giving or acceptance of such a
pass. But it is a safe to assume
that the very moral and virtuous
popnlite representative from Union
Parish, travels on one of these free
passes, against which has been
thrown the whole force of his viz.
tuous indignation.

How the Farmers Are Being Deluded b
60 Called Farm Papers"

How the Farmers Are Being Deluded by
60 Called Farm Papers,"
There was q tine not long ago when
the hundreds Of farm journals published
throughout the country were devoted to
matters connected with grain growing,
stock raising, cotton planting, sheep
breeding hog fattening, poultry keep
ing and similar branches Of our great
agricultural Industries. But since the
free silver craze has been pushed to the
front by the glib tongued prophets of
prosperity through cheap and trashy
currency, many of these journals have
become the organs Of the men who farm
the farmers for political purposes, aud
are filled with the cunning fallacies and
Misrepresentation of the 16 to schen-
ers.
Prominent among the papers, which
ignorantly OF Intentionally are doing
the work Of the silver bullionaires CT
the Rocky mountains, is Farm, Field
and Fireside Of Chicago That journal,
in recent issue, devotes nearly Ave
pages to the silver question, and tries to
persuade its farmer readers that free
coinage will make them richer. How it
will do this the editor does not explain.
He simply says it will, and expects his
readers to swallow what he tells them.
The reliability Of the statements of
this particular paper can be judged from
its assertion that tho free coinage of
! silver at e to would not mean silver
lnonometallism, but would give us a BIZ
metallic standard. The claim of the
sound money advocates that free coin.
ago would put the country On silver

insult to the intelligence of every pro-
Queer in the land
Let US See Instead Of wasting time
in disputes over what may be the result
Of free coinage Of silver, it is only nee.
essary to look at all the countries which
now have that system in full operation.
What do we find? Simply this, that ev.
cry country in the world which has free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at a
fixed ratio, such as Farm, Field and
Fireside wants for the United States, is
on silver basis, and has no gold in
circulation. This is one great fact
against which yards Of cheap money
editorials or gales Of 16 to oratory can
make no impression. No FREQ silver
| country III the world, though some of
,tem have four times as many people
as there are in the United States, is able
to main:ain q binletallic standard. Sill
yer, and SILVER alone, is the standard of
value and basis for currency. This is
not goldbug theory or money shark
teaching It is pute, unadulterated
truth.
Farm, Field and Fireside says that
"Silver monometallism would be most
as bad as gold recommendation. - Il
would be a great deal worse, but it is
important to note that while pretending
to condemn the policy which must in
evitably lead to the silver basis, that
paper admits the unpopularity Of silver
recommendation. Its farmer readers
should insist on being told why the re,
suits Of free coinage would not be the
same in this country as in all the othe,
nations Of the earth which have tried 1t.
