 MONEY=LAWS.
A Fact From an Appropriated and Learned
 Authority.

Authority.
 [From an article on 'sMoney" in the Interna-
 tional Cyclopedia, pages 126, 129, 19o.l
 The laws which control the qualities or quantities of money, whether of coin or paper, have an influence on the pub lie veal vast and sudden beyond those enacted on any other subject. They strike at once every material interest of every citizen of the country which is subject to the laws.
 The examples of France and Ger many between 1871 and 1881 have furnished conspicuous illustrations of the helpful and hurtful power of legis- lation alone on money.
 It is especially within the present century, in Europe and in the United States, that all classes have realized this potency of legislation on money. The slightest modification of national laws concerning it affects every branch of trade, every industry, every invest ment Yet small number of the whole people, those whose business it is to deal in money as lenders or bankers, alone keep that close watch of legislation WulCu tLdUltS biIcll tO JOubIOl ID duly, so as to promote their own inter ests when laws arc changed, or, if laws are likely to affect their interests inju- riously, they are the first to be aware of the effects of changes and to guard against them. That prosperity or ad- versity may result to majority of an entire people by simple act of legis- lation on money with a rapidity and certainty that Legislation on no other subject can parallel has become obvi- GUS to all intelligent people. In Eng land 50 years ago this subject attract ed the observation of great numbers of able writers. But the legislation fol lowed the interest of the moneyed pow CTS to the injury of the commercial and industrial classes.

A FREE SILVER STORY.
A Merchant Loses a Customer by Talking Sound Money in the Presence of
 Customer.

A good story is going the rounds on one of Pine Bluffs most prosper ous and prominent merchants, which shows the intensity of the silver sentiment in the country.
 A few days ago a countryman walked into a store in this city and made purchase.
 The customer had selected his goods, paid his money for the same, and both the money and goods had been sent back to the cashier and bundle-wrapper.
 In the meantime @ local citizen stepped into the store and engaged in a discussion of the financial ques- tion with the proprietor.
 The proprietor is an advocate of sound money and laid great stress upon his views and opinions.
 All of this was heard by the rural customer, who was strong silver ite. Directly the package came back and was handed over to the purchaser by the clerk.
 To the surprise of the clerk and the amazement of the proprietor, who was standing near by, the countryman said he didn't want the goods, and asked that his money be refunded.
 "Why, what's the matter2h said the proprietor, stepping up aud ad- dressing his customer.
 "Well, the truth of the matter is, <" said the countryman, q don't pro- pose to patronize a d-n gold bug. "
 The countryman had his money returned to him and he hastily de- parted to find a free silver mer- chant.
 MoRAL:-Don' discuss the money question in the presence of your GUS toner.
