LIKE TWO AoRosArs.
How Money and Morals Boud to Each
Other In tho New York Conscience

How Money and Morals Bond to Zach
Other In tho Now York Conscience.
Morals md money are curiously
blended In the New York conscience.
They nrc like two acrobats; they bend
each to the other. Four years ago. New
York declared democracy WINS a great
moral motor advancing to strike down
the dragon OF protected monopoly. Low
tariff meant large imports and the port
of New York kept the tollgote. The
now fierce southern brigadlcr and wild
eyed western popuist wns fondly pat
ted on the back by the New York "bmsi-
ness interest" Then the Gotham press
bubbled over with loving tributes to he
democratic yeomanry OF the south md
west. Suddenly New York hns dis
cerncd that these political fungi threat
en- public safety. a comparison of their
editorials of August, 1902. and August,
1890, would cansc the parallel column
nj tist to grow sick with envy.
"Tlfht same humanity that influences
the seller of cotton to diminish the
whole product, the seller of iron to limit
its production. and the railroad prcsi-
dent to discourage the construction of
competitive lines impels the seller of
primary money to work to restrict its
coinage. Thousands OF men are moved
by this inspiration and nre hardly con-
scious of 1t. In this particular the seller
OF money is no worse and no better thnn
the seller of anything else, but he Is not
justified in dressing his campaign in n
moral linen duster to conceal selfish un-
dergarments.-C. J. Hadcn. In Aslanta

cultural Classos.
Free coinage would at once double
the amount of primary or redemption
money, for under free coinuge silver
would be q redemption money with
gold. Gold Is to-day the only primary
or redemption money. This would
cause silver, as commodity, TO rise,
and gold, ms commodity, to fall, until
they reached u level, where they would
remain. All prices being to-day meas
ured in gold, would rise MS fast MS gold
fell, the agriculturist would receive the
profit in higher prices for his products.
having received more money for hia
produce, he would be in position to
npcnd more. buying the things he
needed. This creates demand, which
starts production. More men are
needed In the factories to supply this
demand. They receive steady work,
and ns employers bid against one an.
other for men, wugcs rise. When men
hid against one another for work,
wages fail. Steady work, even at en-
advance In wages, will nllow working
men to pay the higher prices that they
would have to pny for the things they
need. Fixed charges (such ms interest,

Failing Prices.

1t ia estimated that the Kansas wheat
crop this year will average only nine
bushels per acre. This, at so cents per
bushel, would make $3.50 an acre as the
gross value OF the crop. In this there
should be enough to convince anyone
that gold recommendation, which has
forced down the price of wheat, is dis.
astrous to the wheat growers of Kansas.

A brilliant object Lesson whien Teaches
Nothing.


In old times, under rold-fashioned rov-
ernmcnts, the people were considersu
ms children. to be slapped or petted as
their wise ruler saw fit, but, us fur ns
we know, In those good or bad old times,
the people were not generally con.
sidercd fools. This view of their intel.
hgence was reserved for the end of the
nineteenth century, and the advocates
OF the gold standard. Ifproof be needed
thnt the gold party considers the peo.
pie fools. It Is found In the Mexican dol
lar trick. a large firm In Chicago and
large newspaper in Philadelphia have
recently offered to their employees the
option of receiving their wages in GER

nearly twice the same number of Next
can silver dollars. Therefore, free coin

ctc.l Wns ever such an Insult put upon
the intelligence OF the American peoz
pie? Because the present demand for
silver bullion hns givenit certain value,
it-must always have the same value, no
matter how the demand for II varies!
That Is Whit the people are asked to be-
lieve md what the gold advocates try
10 prove by their object lesson. Why
did they not make the offer of n certain
number of American gold dollurs or
double the same number of American
(not Mcxican) silver dollars, or even
paper dollursp Because they nre not
fools. though they think the people nre.
To sny that the American silver dollar
has twice the value of n Mexican dollar,
because the formcr Is rcdeemnble In
certain quantity of gold. ind the lat
ter not 70, is mere TO trihe with the
truth. People consider not whether a

whether II will pay dollars Indebted

HAIR RESTORED TO NATURAL COL

/ havo used many preparations for re-
storing hair to natural color, but never
had satisfactory results, till 1 used Zulu
yuiier; it will restore any hair or beard
to its natural color in three weeks. If 1t
does not they return your money, SO you
take no risks. People who have never
tried can get sample package which con-
tains enough to restore any ones hair TO
natural color, by sending 81 two-cent
stamps to pay postage etc., TO Wilson &
Co., New Concord, Ohio.
The regular price is $3.50 per package.
If it does not reatore your ha!r to natural
color. OF make any color of hair darker in
three weeks, they will reiurn your stamps.
This proposition is so fair that thousands
are using it. It is harmless, but never
fails. Why can't big money be made by
selling Zulu yuiier from house to house?

Free Papers and Free Rum.

A great cry has been made lately regard
ing retrenchment in state expenses, but it
hasn't effected the present legislature very
extensively yet. With commendable re-
spect for precedent the members have
voted themselves two daily papers each
during the session. This costs the state
some $500 or 5000 each session. There
might be some sense in voting each MEM
ber one paper provided it contained the
official report of the proceedings of the
previous day, but there is no such paper.
As the matter now stands the two papers
can be ordered from any part of this coun-
try or from foreign countries. Some of
the members Of the last legislature ordered
Chicago papers.
The members should now vote them
selves tobacco and boot black service at
the expense Of the state. The one is as
reasonable as the other.

Legislative Notes.

The present session of the legislature is
the l23d. The first session was held in
177S, and the sessions were held annu-
ally until 1870, when the biennial sessions
began. During the history of the state,
there have been six extra sessions. in 1857, i,
1861, 1865, 1867, 1875, 1891. The long
est session was in 1880, lasting 60 days !;
the shortest in 1873, lasting three days.
Altogether the sessions would cover a
period of between 10 and II years, with
an average session of about 80 days. This
average since the biennial sessions began
in 1870 being about sc days.
The legislature adjourned last Thursday
until Monday so as to give Speaker Lord
time to name his committees. On Monday
an adjournment was taken until to-day
owing to the death and funeral of Ex-Gov.
Fuller.
Senator Morrill, is now sc years old, and
on March will have completed 80 years
work in the senate, and AZ years. work in
congress, having served II years in the
House.
A writer to the Boston Journal says:
There promises to be considerable in
terest in the election of state superintend-
ent of education. The educators of the
state are beginning to take an interest in
the matter and are thoroughly disgusted
with the methods followed by the present
incumbent, Mason A. Stone.
He has been actively at work since the
state election personally soliciting support
from each member of the legislature, and
many have promised to vote for him to rid
themselves OF him and because they did
not know there was another candidate.
But now there are some new develop
ments. Ex-Supt Palmer, Speaker Lord,
Col. 6. L. Childs of ST. Albans, and Henry
Conlin Of Colchester in the house of repre-
sentatives, and many prominent men in the
state are urging Principal S. w. Landon
of Burlington to accept the office.
