COMMERCE NEEDS A STABLE
STANDARD.
vIce-Presidenti Candidate Hobart show

Vice President Candidate Hobart Shows
why Gold Is Best Measure of Value.
In his letter accepting the republican
nomination for vice-president Hon. Gar
ret A. Hobart said:
The money standard of a great ma
tion should be as fixed and permanent
as the nation itself. To secure and re-
tain the best should be the desire Of
every right-minded citizen Resting on
stable foundations, continuous and I'M
varying certainty of value should be
it's Distinguishing characteristic. The
experience Of all history confirms the
truth that every coin, made under any
law, howsoever that coin may be
stamped, will finally command in the
markets of the world the exact value Of
the materials which compose it. The
dollar of our country whether of gold
or silver, should be of the full value Of
100 cents, and by so much as any dollar
is.worth less than this in the market by
precisely that sum will some one be
defrauded.
The necessity of a certain and fixed
money value between nations as we'll
as individuals has grown out of the
interchange of commodities, the trade
and business relationships which have
arisen among the peoples of the world,
with the enlargement of human wants
and the broadening of human interests.
This necessity has made gold the final
standard of all enlightened nations.
If we are to continue to hold our
place among the great commercial ma
lions, we must cease juggling with this
question and make our honesty OF pur-
pose clear to the world. No room
should be left for misconception as to
the meaning of the language used in
the bonds of the government not yet
matured. It should not be possible
for any party or individual to raise a
question as to the purpose of the coun-
try to pay all it's obligations in the best
form of money recognized by the COM
mercial world.
Any nation which is worthy of credit
or confidence can afford to say eX-
plicitly on a question so vital to every
interest what it means when such
meaning is challenged or doubted. 1t
is desirable that we should make it
known at once and authoritatively that
an honest dollar" means any dollar
equivalent to a gold dollar of the pres
ent standard Of weight and f1neness.

Thdne, Might Be Far Worse.

It is a frequent excuse Of unthlnkng
men for leaning toward free silver that
things can't be worse than they now
are
This is a mistake. Matters can be
very much worse, especially for the
workingmen.
First-They would be worse if wages
we're paid in a 53-cent dollar or in a
doHar worth less than 100 cents. How
ever it may be with mine owners and
mortgage debtors, men whose capital Is
their labor are not interested in having
the purchasing power of their dollar
diminished.
Second-Thipgs would be made
worse for tae 1,7S2,3S2 savings bank
depositors in this state alone if their
S715, Gs2, 899 of savings were made pay
able in deprecated dollars.
Third Things would be worse for
the nearly 100000 pensioners if their
monthly stipend were to be paid in So
cent dollars.
Fourth-Things would be worse for
all the millions of benefciaries OF
stock. mutual and cooperative 1nsur-
ance companies and all the I,745,T2o
shareholders in building and loan asso-
Citations if payment were to be maze
to them in any money less good than
the best.
Fifth-Things would be worse foE
everybody in case of a panic caused by
the prospect of silver basis.-New

EPwoRTH LEAGUE FOUNDER.
willis W. Cooper, of Kenosha. Holds That
Distinguished Honor.


Willis W. Cooper addressed the Ep-
worth leaguers at Kingsley NJ. r.
church at Milwaukee Tuesday evening.
Special interest was shown in Mr.
Cooper's address, as it was through his
influence that the first conference was
called for the purpose of uniting the
several young peoples societies of the
Methodist church, which resulted in
the organization of the Epworth league.
Since then the league has increased
until it now contains more than 1850
900 members. Mr.. Cooper is the first
president of the International
league, and of the Wisconsin State
league, and the president of the Mil
waukee district league. Mr.. Cooper's
address was directed to the Tithing
band, which has been made feature
of Epworth league work. He gave
several illustrations of the successful
operation of the plan. The cause of
home and foreign missions was also dealt
upon, and the young people were urged
to take a greater interest in this line of
work than heretofore. After Mr..
Cooper's speech reception was held.

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.
True Words From an Exchange Applicable
Here.

The Edwardsville InteJIige1acer very
truly says that the local merchant and
mechanic are interested in the progress
and development of the town and coun-
ty in which they live, and every dollar
they amass is reinvested and remains
in the neighborhoOd. They assist in
keeping up the streets, sidewalks,
schools, churches and other institutions
AS they prosper the town prospers.
But the person who spends his money
in some distant city puts it beyond as
sisting in any local enterprise. The
man there, upon whom you bestOW
your custom probably has no farther
interest in you or your surroundings
than the cash he receives from YOU. 1t
is no concern Of his whether Kenosha
has sidewalks, schools or churches, or
whether the privileges the citizens en-
Joy are equal TO those of the aboriginal
Indians. The surplus money which he
accumulates will go to enrich the eX-
cheQuer of some institution from which
you will receive no benefiUand in which
you have no interest.
The ideal community is that in which
there is a reciprocity Of good feeling
among merchants III all branches of
trade, mechanics, professional men and
farmers, each availing himself as far as
possible of the others services, buying
his goods, or employing his services as
the case may be. The community
where this practice obtains is almost
invariably prosperous, its citizens are
cheerful, neighborly and enterprising.

CAUSED A SENSATION
An Article in the Racine News Causes
Much Talk.

An ArG1cle III bHS hdc1BS news CduoO0
Much Talk
The following item appeared in We'd
nesday evenings issue of the Racine
NeWs:
Justice Morey had a neat little
wedding in his Office this afternoon.
The couple came from Kenosha, and
they requested that nothing be said
about the matter. Three reporters met
them at the foot of the stairs leading
to the Office with the hope of identify
ing them. The groom is a clerk in the
Kenosha postoffice and is popular
young man,
The little squiD caused sensation
here in Kenosha. The groom is a
clerk in the postofice." That is the
sentence that drove the matter home.
There were two manageable young
men there in Uncle Sans employ who
answered all the requirements. Both
were single andsboth are popular. One
is John Burg and the other Alex Huck.
Now the question is, which is the one?
Neither one will admit it, and those
who swear by the yeracity of them
both say that there might be mistake
somewhere.
But supposing there was no mistake
which one can best prove an alibi?
Alex Huck was at the postoffice all the
afternoon of the day in question ex-
cept for a very few moments when he
went out to squander a few cents of his
free silver for samples of the fruit
known to science as Of the genus Py-
RVS, more vulgarly known to the trade
oy the name Of apples. But he came
right straight back and continued to
serve the interests of your Uncle Sam
uel
On the other hand John Burg was
not there. One of his friends declares
that he stood for some time in front OF
a we'll known store talking politics.
But that only accounts for a few mo-
ments. Where was he the rest of the
time? Did he leave there and continue
his career in making Palmer and Buck
ner votes, or did he HE himself with
some blushing maiden to Hymen's altar
and return from it with his heart beat
ing within the pericardium of another?
These questions we cannot answer, so
we must appeal to Mr.. Burg. If you
were the happiest man on earth We'd
nesday, John, tell us who the happiest
girl was. We won't tell anybody if you
d0n't want I1c tO
You see it is like this. When rep
resentative of this paper met Mr.. Burg
this morning and asked him about it,
he would not say yes or no. He simply
replied evasively that if it was true he
would do the required treating. The
representative got no treating and no
other answer.
There was only one other step to
take. His father, A. j. Burg, was
asked about it. He said Immediately
that it must be Johnny meant in the
NeaOs article, but he did not know.
When John Burg read the article in
the NeaOs he was very nervous about it..
He was being jollied by the police and
the reporters, but nothing served to
draw either the truth or falsity of the
report from him. He stuffed the paper
in his pocket and hurried away with it.
