1t is impossible to account for or ex-
plain the political idiOsyncracies OF any
given Individual If the angel Gabriel

Office in any community there would
be found some who would be urging
the election of his imperial sulphur
iousness on the ground that he could
stand more heat, or for some other
equally ridiculous reason. Ii, as Is
claimed. human nature is ever the
same all the world over, why it IS that
in this campaign the facts are on one
side and all the forgerieS on the other?
Every argument for sound money is
buttressed all around with statistics,
while nearly every plea for free coin
age has it's shaky rhetoric shored up
with bogus statements attributed to the
London Financial News, to Jefferson.
Lincoln. Bismarck or some other
authority supposed TO have special
influence with American voters. Is it
the nature of the dishonest dollar to
make the very arguments for it dis
honest also: Nobody thinks of perpe-
trating a forgery in behalf of honest

THE VAIL OF DEFEAT.

The first signal of defeat of the Pop
ticket comes from Indiana. They are
bdmbarding the stars with a simultan-
eous cry of fraud, and Of the wholesale
purchase of innocent Democra tic votes
with wicked Republican money. This
cry has been heard before. and always
lust before q defeat. So regularly has
the charge been followed by disaster
that it would seem from mere policy
the leaders would suppress it this time.
Who knows that money is being used
in Indiana, or in what way? By what
authority do the Democratic papers
charge it upon Republicans and as
sumo that their opponents. are not do
ing the same thing? If the law is be-
ing violated, as they claim, is it rea-
sonable that no Democrat would be
tempted, specially in state blessed
with so many Democratic judges, to
say nothing of a Democratic governor
with the pardOning power in MS
hands? If the average Indiana Demo
cratic ward-heeler is such paragon of
virtue dS u eDuII tHt Ntiy SiShI VI -
corruption fund the world has never
heard of it Even if this was true
somebody, high or low, in Democratic
councils must accept bride, otherwise
there is nothing in the charge that the
Republicans are about to carry the
state by fraud. Under such conditions
it comes with poor grace from Mr..
Bryan's supporters in Indiana to raise
the cry that so large contingent is to
be led astray by a corruption fund.
On their own statement it shows that,
base and corrupt as it may be. they
like it. They even like it so we'll that
a large and indefinite number of them
are willing TO sell that most sacred
American birthright-the ballOt-for
money.
What of the purity and incorruptible-
ness of Jeffersonian Democracy? What
of the immaculate party traditions:
What of the benign influence of Sun
day schools and fathers and mothers
teachings Of the proud old Hoosier
state-the state that boasts of a strain
of Democracy Indigenous to her soil?
For very shame they should stop this
cry Of tie fraudulent use of money.

JOHN LOCKE ON NATIONAL FINANCE

In the great treatise on the value OF
money by John Locke. (see works of
John Locke, London, 1873 Vol. 81 one OF
the most acute and logical reasoners that
any nation or any age has given 10 the
world, he defines money TO be necessary
10 all sorts OF men in trade both for
counters and for pledges" This Is his
Quaint and old-fashioned way of saying
that il l. both a measure or standard Of
value and medium of exchange Money,
he tells us, carries with II as counters"
what he calls even reckoning" and as
pledges it carries security that lie that
receives it shall have the same value for
it again, of other things that he wants,
whenever he pleases. The ole OF these
it does by its stamp and denomination;
the other by its intrinsic value, which is
lis quantity The standard money OF
Locke's day was silver. a given guam
tlty OF silver. whether stamped or W.
stamped. has a certain intrinsic value,
and this intrinsic value constitutes the
security that he that receives il shah
have the same value for Il again" The
only purpose OF the stamp and demon
inasicu is 20 make 8 given quantity OF
silver serve as a counter" in order thai
there may be even reckoning n all
business transactions. The stamp he cor
rectly declares 10 be nothing more THAI

FUNNY BUT NOT TRUE.

IT is too late in the campaign to go
very extensively into the another lie
nailed' business, but it becomes our
apparent duty TO spike or otherwise
tack down numerous misrepresenta-
tons of contemporaries touching the
Eagles report of the Long-Simpson de-
bate. We let our evening contempor-
ary's declaration that it was a doc
tored" report go unnoticed because we
had 10 desire to make that outfit feel
any worse. being willing that they
should get all the comfort out of such
a charge that they could. The thou
sands Of people who heard the debate
must have known that the Eagles re-
port did not vary word from the ut
terances made by the two gentlemen,
respectively. Not only that but the
speeches were taken by The official
stenographer of a district court who
made an affidavit of its correctness.
The other charge going the rounds that
the same individual who wrote the
Eagles editorial and the Introductory
paragraph or description of the meet
ing also wrote the account for the
Kansas City papers, is not true. The
fact is three individuals, each, did a
great part, respectively, Of the Eagles
work. AS for the reports appearing in
the Kansas City papers the Eagle can
not be called to account The fact
that the Kansas City papers will pub
liSh anything from anywhere without
reference to the reliability of it's
authorship should exculpate the Eagle
and its staff.

MIGHT BETTER READ IT.

What is money very few people seem
TO know. The average man no doubt
accents it as a value, others as a mea-
sure or as an equivalent of worth. But
the great commercial world in ats
ira nsactions employees it as a count
err or as a medium of exchange, Tor
the most part only handling or having
to do with some paper representative
of money. Greenbacks, national bank
notes, treasury notes, checks, draItS
and silver certificates are not money.
They are pledges and promises OF
money. Absolute money must CON
tain within itself the economical or
commercial value Of its face, winch
value must be definite. In modern
times gold and silver have been the
real monies Of this world. But OF
late, owing to relative over produc-
ton of silver. that metal has become
largely a token money which does not
contain within itself the actual value
expressed on its face. The actual and
relative commercial worth Of the met
ais from which modern monies are
made depend principally upon the cost
of their production, not upon any sup
posed intrinsic value.
These reflections are not INDUCED in
with any idea of enlightening any
body on the money question, but SIM
ply to call attention to a disquisition
on that subject written by philoso-
pher two hundred years ago, which
appears elsewhere on this page under
the head of John Locke Oh National
Finance" edited by Frederick Howard
Wines. There is much in it which re-
flutes the assumptions of Mr.. Bryan
and u6sets the philosophy Of his party.
No reader of the Eagle interested in the
question now agitating the American
people can afford 10 miss giving the
article an attentive reading.

CuRA,S FIAT MONEY.

Lincoln protested irredeemable paper
money and only signed the greenback
bill as war necessity, a paper money
which the Republican party afterwards
made good. No paper money can be
made good which is based in some in
definite way on the property or credit
of any country, however rich or great
that country. \ promise to pay must
be paid, not paid with another promise
TO pay but paid in actual metallic
money which embraces within itself
its face value. a token currency even
il Of precious metal will not go long
in the absence of u redeemer only in
n very limited way.
The beauties of the token currency
with no certainty of redemption be-
hind it are now visible in Cuba. Wey-
Ter had to have money, so he had the
Spanish bank make Il lot of it out OF
paper and then issued a full set of the
.direst Spanish threats against those
who should refuse TO accept the money
at its par value. If you would not
take the bills at par value whenever
anybody offered them TO you in ex-
change for tobacco or bananas or SOM
breros, YOU We're liable 10 get shot
Obviously, Weyler'S facilities for keep
ing fiat money ut par with its value in
gold are considerably superior to any
thing that Mr.. Bryan could muster
were he to artempt the experiment
here. This country is not sufficiently
TillmaniZed to admit of the use of bay
onetS TO compel the 53 cent dollar, I'M
redeemable 10 buy as much goods as
the 100 cent dollar. If, then. Weyler
has failed in Cuba, Bryan might be
expected to fail doubly in the United
States. Thereby hangs the interest
in the Cuban experiment. The result
in Cuba was that directly after the
issuing of these notes tlsy dropped TO
50 per cent Of their face value. Wey-
Ter has now given up the experiment
and allows them TO circulate for what
ever value people Will place on them.
