sLLvTR NOT FIAT MONEY.

The New Orleans Picayune says that
the hoDelessly weak point in any at
tempt to enrich the masses and estab-
lish prosperity with unlimited silver
coinage, or any other fat money, is
that there is no provision for distribut-
ing the wealth. 1t declares that after
Mr.. Bryan shall become president and
free coinage shall be accomplished the
people who were 50 eager to establish
such a conjuncture of circumstances
will finally discover that they are no
better off than they were before. Not
a man of them will be able to get q
dollar, whether worth fifty cents or
otherwise, except in the same way that
money has always been got It says
it must be obtained in some sort Of
honest business or earned as wages |;
there is no other way in which an hon
est penny can be get, it says.
First of all. free silver is not fat
money any more than gold is. No leg
islative power on earth can extract the
silver from the earth in limited or I'M
limited quantities by the mere passage
of a law directing that it be done, no
more than it can make the wheat to
sow itself and command the gentle rains
to fall that the wheat in the ground
may spring up and grow to maturity
So much for the fat part of the silver
question.
Is it not rather inconsistent to talk
about a silver dollar being worth only
fifty cents and at the same time say
that there is only one way to get it,
which way is to work for it? There is
no other way TO set money, and it has
to be employed to get either gold or
silver That men will have to work for
silver dollars refutes the argument that
under free coinage they will be worth
but fifty cents.
1t is said that the owners of silver
mines viii be benefited more than any
one else by free coinage That they
will be so directly is true, just as it
is true that the owners of gold mines
are benefited more than any one else
is. When a large manufactury, which
is successful, is established in any COM
munity, the owners Of it receive q
greater and more direct benefit than
any one else. But who will say that
the community where it is established
is not benefited by its presence? So
it is with every enterprise, no matter
what it's nature.
Free silver would mean a greater
abundance of money, which in turn
would mean employment for more peo-
pie; and the employment would be in
the direct ratio to the abundance OF
money. If there is an abundance of
money, and the great depression is the
result OF lack Of confidence, is not the
explanation of the depression direct
denial of the assertion that there is
an abundance of money? If there is an
abundance of money, why need it
be timid? There is not an abundance
of money, and so long as the increase
of money of final redemption is con-
fined to one metal, and it would make
no difference which metal it is, either

Gov. Grout Ia a predicameut.

Commenting on holding the annual mus
ter on the grounds oMned by the state at
Burlington the Montpelier Argus says:
"a large proportion Of the officers of
the militia are opposed to the use of the
permanent camp ground. This was un-
loaded on the state by what is generally
believed to have been a Job. There is a
belief among officers of the national guard
and others that the ground is not fit for q
muster ground and cannot be made SO
except at great expense. But political
friends of Gov. Grout were interested in
having the state purchase the camp ground
near Burlington and they want the muster
held there. If Grout acts to please his
friends he must displease large number
of officers of the militia. To do that will
not tend to make the militia more efficient
IT the muster is held on the state camp
ground at Burlington next year the unfit
ness of the ground for such purposes will
be made plain and the state will have to
get rid of it. If the muster should be
ordered in some other place it will be
regarded as an admission that the state
camp ground is unfit for use, and that will
make it necessary to sell it. Gov. Grout
appears to be approaching dilemma, and
w. Seward Webb will find that in advocat-
ing the retention of the camp ground at
Burlington, in opposition to the expressed
desires of most OF the militia officers of
the state, he has not gained in popularity y

Open Season for Deer.
An exchange saws

An exchange says:
Next October the first deer legally killed
in Vermont for about twenty years will fall
victim to the hunters rifle. Such is the
effect OF law passed at the recent session
of the State Legislature. Since late in the
seventies, when the first deer law in the
state was enacted, deer hunting has been
forbidden under penalty OF heavy fines,
and the animals have so increased in nnm-
bers that by October, 1897, there probably
will be no better hunting ground in the
east than Vermont, with the exception of
some parts of Maine
The provisions of the law which has lust
been passed are that the month of October
shall be an open season tor deer, that no
hunter shall kill more than two deer during
the month, that they shall not be hunted
win q, dogs or Jacks, enticed by salt licks, or
killed in yards, and that none shall be
taken out of the state unless by the person
who shot it.
