benefit through any change in tho medi-

as good as the grease OF today.
Any one who has something to ex-
change has no trouble in making the ex-
change at market prices or ratios. If he
wishes to employ more capital, he can
always hire it at market rates of inter-
est, providing he has anything to use as
collateral or security. Without collateral
he could not, under any system of cur
rency, obtain the required capital The
whole question hinges on the collateral,
not on the money, which is but mere
incident to the exchange. A farmer who
mortgages his farm to obtain capital
does not really pay interest ON the
money (Which is but one form of CAPT.
tall which he obtains, and which he
probably possesses but few days or
weeks, but on the capital, implements,
buildings, fences, ETC., which he hires
in this way. No possible monetary
capital-that is the percentage Of value
which one man is willing to pay for the
use of another man s product. 1t is the
relative demand for and supply of CAPT.

monetary system. If the monetary sys-

The Silver league of Nebraska is one
of the latest schemes Of Bryan and his
friends. It's object is to spread free sill
yer literature and to support no candi-
date for the presidency in 1896 who is
not a free silver man. The league is
nonpartisan, its control being in the
hands Of four trustees, one from each of
the four great parties.
1t is pity that the honest farmers
and laborers who will be drawn into this
league-and the bulk of them are sin
cere-could not devote their energies to
something likelyto improve rather than
to cause that will surely make worse
their present condition. They are howl
ing against high rates of interest, but
are unnecessarily increasing those rates
by threatening to repudiate half of their
debts, thereby increasing the risk of
loaning money in their state. They have
but to look across into Mexico or TO
glance at any Of the other free silver
countries Of the world to make certain
that free coinage is not panacea and
that farmers and laborers are usually
worse off in those countries than in gold
standard countries.
Our farmers and workingmen are
barking up the wrong tree when they
are looking for their oppressors in the
branches of the money tree. The injus-
tice, if any, due to slight depreciation
or appreciation of gold is infnitesimal
as compared with the injustice from
other causes. That this is true is evident
from the very nature of things. Money
is but medium or tool of exchange
Exchange implies production, transpor-
tation, distribution. 1t is in the proc
esses of production, transportation and
distribution that farmers and laborers
should look for improvement and not in
the medium of exchange, which is al
ready SO nearly perfect that in most
civilized countries it does its work with
out friction and practically without
cost AS we'll hope for great reductions

"WOTs YER NAME, KIDD"

He spoke Kindly to the boy.
At first BILLY was too frightened to
tell his story, but he finally succeeded.
Old Grim listened to the end, and
then he said:
at is like those human beasts down
there. Cone with me; will care for
you.
So he tool the boy to his cabin, and,
from that day, Bold Billy was Old
Grim's shaJow-where one went the
other might be found.
While Old Grim lived, the boy never
again visited Old Satan's camp alone.
He did not dare.
Somehow. for all of their general
ugliness, the toughs of Satan's Camp
had come to leave Old Grim unmolest-
ed.
They regarded him as harmless old
hermit who somehow managed to live,
and they would have regarded 1t as a
disgrace to pick quarrel with him.
But they made sport of Bold Billy
whenever the boy appeared in the
place.
One day Hank Bloodgood came into
satan's Camp.
He straightway started in for a rack
et
The liquor to be obtained in Satan's
Camp was rank, and Bloodgood was
soon fighting drunk.
He had a record, and long one, too.
More than one good man, as well as
more than one ruffian, had fallen be-
fore Bloodgood's guns.

In fact, to confess the whole truth,
He was none too well supplied with
gray matter" although he was not an
outright fool
Satan's Camp was the wickedest town
of its size in the territory. 1t was the
boast of its inhabitants that more men
had been killed in Satan's Camp than
in any other town of its age west OF
the Rockies.
Not a very healthy" place for a
timid, half-witted lad to stray into.
And it happened that the first build
ing he entered after striking the town
us "Murphy's Hole" the most dis
reputable gambling den and gin-mill
in Satan's Camp.
A tough gang always loafed around
Murphy's, and 1t was on hand when the
boy appeared.
"Whoop" cried Red Hutch, as his
eyes rested on the lad, who was hesi-
tating near the door. whats this 1
see? Is it a kid? Wall, I'm derned
eff kid hain't come in hyerv'
Then he bounced on the unoffending
boy and dragged him forward into the
middle Of the room.
There the boy was quickly surround
ed by the r ffianly crew, who began
to make sport of him.
If ever a boy was frightened 1t was
the one in the clutch of Red Hutch.
'Wot's yer name, kid?" demanded
the ruffian, as he gave the lad a savage
shake. Speak up lively"
"Bub-bub-billy Bub-bub-bolden,"
was the reply that came through the
chattering teeth of the unfortunate
waif

name for a kid like you to wear around!
Billy Bolden-Bold Billy. How is that
for handle, pards?"
cts great" shouted Red Hutch's
sycophants, "Hooray fer Bold Billyw
From that hour the boy was known
in SataRs Camp as Bold Billy.
Before he escaped from Murphy's he
was nearly frightened out of his wits
for he was made to dance to the tune
Of pistol-shots, while the rufflans
roared with laughter.
Shaking like a leaf he finally sue
ceeded in getting out of the saloon, and
then ran as fast and as far as he
could.
Finally, overcome with terror and
exhaustion, he fell in fainting, quiv-
efing heap beyond the limits of the
town, and there Old Grim found him.
Old Grim was a grouty hermit who
lived beyond the limits of Satan's
Camp.
He was something of a mystery.
He had been there when the first
prospector Struck yaller" at the spot
where the camp stood, but the dis
covery of gold had not seemed to af-
.ect the queer old man in any way.
He lived on in his secluded fashion,
and the people that came to the mush-
room camp grew to know him by sight,
but no other way.
He would have nothing to do with
them.
Old Grim's clothes were in rags, and
he appeared like wreck of better
times.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-The dispatches
from Madrid that Cabinet council has
taken up the question of applying home
rule reforms to Porto Rico are regarded by
officials here as having an important bear

two islands have been treated together by
Spain, and in the plan of home-rule re-

measure being entitled "a law for the re-
organization of the civil administration of
Cuba and Porto Rico Under these cir
cumstances the action of the Cabinet coun-
Gil in taking up the Porto Rico reforms is
considered by officials here as meaning that
the Cuban reforms also will be considered.
IT is believed the action of the council will
bring about one of two results. either TO
put the Porto Rico reforms into speedy ex-
ecution and then follow them by applying
the reforms 10 Cuba or else a postpone

opposition on the ground that people in
Spain were "first-class Spaniards," those

by the officials on the ground of a de3reci-
