times, like the rest of US; but they hold
the power of the votes. Why, then were
they not better recognized?
There is but two Scandinavians on
the whole state ticket, viz: NJ. N, John
son, of Nelson, for congress; and John
G. Holland, of Trail, for superintendent
of public instruction-bo.h from almost
adjoining counties.
Then again is it policy to place tho
English language OF our state in tho
care of mon of foreign berth?
To SHOW; you tho power OF the Scan
dinaEian vote, look back to Mr.. Wan.
bers's record four years ago. whom he
was the only republican u,ecto:. AID
with the exceptions of just one othcr--
c. NJ. Dahl, secretary of stato-also
Scandinavian-was the only ores Oh the
whole state ticlot that wcro elected.
No sir, the republican state ticket
could have been largely improved. The
old gang again ran things TO feather
their own intercsts---to hadcs with the
people. At least that is the way it looks
to small man up a big tree.
1t appears that the old state gang has
again put before the people the same
nauseous dose of bossisn they did four
years ago, relying upon tho honesty of
the good republican voters of the state

was over Mr.. Day delivered an address
Of wele ONE to his guests which made
them all feel perfectly at home. After
the usual time had been spent in amuse-

homes. heartily wishing Mr.. Day had a
barn to dedicate every week.
1t is surprising to hear some people
argue that we might just as well try to
legislate dollar a bushel wheat as 100
cents silver dollars. They seem to for
get that the value OF either gold or silver
is purely creative and that tho first re-
cognltion either metal ever got was from
TN act OF legislation. This act fixed the
value OF tho metals at so much and it
seems strange that the people OF today
would declare the cractnents Of these
legislators Of the past too sacred and
perfect to desecrate by Il rcvesion provil.
jig the ratio between our volumn of
business aud volumn Of money absolute
ly demanded it. No onc will deny that
the value OF any kind of money rests
entirely upon a decree of the govern
ment. Money is fostcred by decree,
its birth place was in the legislative as
sealbly and consequently can not have
an intrinsic cents worth Of value to It.
Then in view OF these facts it is certain
ly absurd to maintain that the value of
silver should be regulated by the same
laws that regulate the price of wheat.
The nations Of the world could meet and
by an agreement between them, declare
both gold and silver null, and void, and
as there is no intrinsic value to them
they would bc practically useless, but
on he other hand, all tile legislation in
the world would not add or subtract an
intrinsic cents wo th, to or from, a
bushol Of wheat. 1t would contain the
eamo old amount Of nututivc substance.
No more, no less, all things useful to
mankind should he considered commodi-
ties while money should merely be the
medium of exchange. but as it is half of
our money is reduced to a commodity
and the people are buying and selling
and speculating in that which they were
supposed to buy, sell and speculate with.
