INTRINSIC VALUE REGULATES ITS POWER

AUBURN, Neb., Oct. 2O.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Mr. Edward Rosewater spoke in the
opera house tonight on sound money to an
audience Of about 900. For over two hours
he dealt in sound arguments, facts and fig
ures in such a manner that conviction was
sure to follow to all but those who would
not be convinced. The speaker described
the origin OF money, and traced its history
down TO the present time and stated that
iron was first used, then copper. and bronze.
followed by silver and last by gold, but
through all of its stages the value OF the
metal used determined its purchasing power.
and that gradually the soverelgns or rulers
began to put stamps upon the coins, which
only certified to the weight and fineness of
tho coin and that the Bank OF England to-
day relied upon the weight Of all coin to de-
termine It's value, thus showing that the
stamp upon a coin created no value what
evef.
He then explained the difference between
prices and values and claimed that value
was the result OF labor while prices were
governed by the laws of supply and demand.
He claimed that all true money had an in
trlnsic value equal to its coinage value and
asserted that paper money was no more
money than bill of fare at hotel was
dinner.
All of the propositions of the silverites
were digested and proven to rest on
wrong foundation. He showed that the
cause of the present depression and low
prices were the results of other causes rather
than the demonitization of silver.
Mr. Rosewater was listened to with close
attention by the audience to the end. This
speech will do the republican cause much
good in Nemaha county.

YORK, Neb., Oct. 2O-lSpecIaI.)-W. IT.
Dech, middle-of- -the-road populist candidate
for congress, spoke here last night. He un-
meroifully roasted the sel-out OF the popu-
lists OF Nebraska to the democrats and
paid his respects to Bryan in no uncertain
words 1t was something new to hear Dech,
the original populist, antagonize the free
silver fallacy. His arguments were good
ones and well put. and the points he made
were frequently applauded. The speaker
stated that free silver would utterly fail OF
its purpose II tried and that the relief II
is claimed such action would bring would
be turned to injury. Dech strongly denied
the assertions that he was playing into
the hands OF the republican party, and In
confirmation OF that denial he waded In on
the republicans In true popullstic style.
