The Illegal Fishing Hereabout.

The papers on the other side of
the river claim that a party of SEM
ers from Dubuque have been plying
the waters of the Mississippi with a
seine 200 yards long, and destroying
large numbers Of fish, all in violation
of law. 1t is held that if the fish
warden of this state could be induced
to cooperate with the same official
in Illinois this illegal fishing could
be suppressed. 1t might not be a
bad thing to make an effort to secure
this cooperation before grumbling
because it has not been had. The
fish commissioner of the state of
Iowa has never yet been accused by
anybody OF not attending to his bus
mess whenever there was a violator
OF the fish law to be dealt with.
Iowa Is as anxious as Illinois to have
the fish in the Mississippi preserved.

Functions OF Money,

functions OF money.
1.-The imperial function OF money
is derived from the fiat of law, con-
tjnued Mr.. Guyer. Whatever the
law says shall be legal tender for the
payment of debt is money. Capt.
talists. however, have always insisted
that the people could not be trusted
to keep within bounds in issuing pa
per money, that there would be dam
ger of issuing money in Unlimited
amounts, which would be unjust to
the creditor. The whole power of
the capitalist therefore has been ex-
erted to influence governments tc
use some commodity to redeem its
fiat money with, and in that way
they have fixed a limitation beyond
which money could not depreciate.
Gold and silver have been universally
used rs such redemption money from
the earliest dates in history. From
the date OF the Roman empire to 1873
these metals have been so used and
different countries have from time To
time fixed by law ratio between
them, and tied them together. Fo,
instance in 1866 England made a
ratio Of 15l to l. In 1868 Portugal
made ratio OF 16 to l. This ration
went into effect in the colonies OF
Portugal and Spain and in South
America, and it was these people
who gave the name to our unit OF
coinage. and it was those dollars
coined by these Spanish colonies
at that ratio that were in circu
la,ion and formed the only me.
tallic money we had at the time We
threw off the yoke of Great Britain.
Oar forefathers accepted this name
and continued the system of bimetal.

to 1873. Two slight changes were
made in the Size of the gold dollar

'.But the scale being changed in
1873 and gold being used alone to

the appreciation of money and the
depreciation of produce. the drone
began to thrive and the producer to
languish. The drones then per-
suaded Germany and Austria and
other countries to follow our ex-
ample and increased the purchasing
power of their incomes more every
time, and it is these drones who
have taken control of the 'repub lean
party and who are spending money
in unlimited amounts to prevent the
restoration of the scales.
''How was it a scale? Why the
value Of each dollar depended upon
the total quantity Of metal in the
world out of which dollars could be
made. The value of everything de-
ponds on the quantity to supply the
demand. The value Of each sack Of
flour depends on the total quantity of
wheat out of which flour can be
made. Prevent winter wheat from
going to the mills and require flour
to be made out of spring wheat, the
value of each barrel OF flour will
be doubled. So it is with money of
redemption. Take away half the
quantity and the value of each dol
lar m ade of the other half will be
doubled"

They are the bulls and the bears; the
bulls seeking to elevate the prices
OF the products of labor, and to de-
press the purchasing power Of
money; the bears seeking to appre-
ciate the power of money and to bear
the price of comm odities.
Now. if all the people would real.
ize this division of these contending
forces, and the inner motives of the
two parties, there would not be a
hundred supporters of the IT. Louis
pl tform in Rock Island, because it
is certain that the property of all
the people Of this city; in fact, of all
the people of the west aud south, is
dependent upon the prosperity of the
producer, barring those exception.
ally few people who live on fixed in
comes and who naturally want the
producer to get as little as possible.
"Bot our opponents, well meaning
and honest here in the west, though
sometimes abusive, are biioded and
deceived. Nine out Of ten of them
are at heart anxious for the prosper.
ity of the producer. anxious to ele-
vate the price Of the products of Ia
Dor, and are opposed to increasing
the purchasing power OF money; yet
they do not realize that their party
is now in command of those who are
deceiving them into working against
their own interests. Many of them
are restless under their new leader
the money influences of Wall street
and London. They do not like to re.
fleet that the republican party has
been made to change its creed on
financial matters. They revolt al
being forced to defend the crime o,
1873.

A Radical Dpparture,

President Cleveland took occa-
sion of the national holiday yester-
day to give encouragement and as
sistance to the gold missionaries
to Chicago by writing letter to be
read at the Tammany celebration.
The president says, "If there is
anything in present conditions
that impeaches experience and in
dicates that we can safely change
our present high financial standard
for the free, unlimited and inde-
pendent coinage OF silver, this
should be made plainly apparent
before such a radical departure
finds place in The party creed,
The tremendous con sequences Of
mistake i'm dealing with the finan-
cial question now pressed upon us
as Democrats should constantly
make us thoughtful and solicitous."
The tremendous consequences Of
the mistake in dealing with the
financial question in 1878 are but
too apparent. From that time to
the present efforts have been made
to modify those consequences, and
disaster after disaster resulted.
To-day the whole country is
thoughtful and solicitous about the
future, the evil effects OF the mis-
take of 1873 increasing instead OF
passing away. The great majority
Of the Democratic party, we believe
the great majority OF the whole
people, have come to the conclu-
sion that palliative measures will
not do, and that the country must
go back to the "high financial
standard" before the "radical de-
parture" was taken in the demon
etizatiOn OF silver.
AS Democrats this would be a
consistent course, for the financial
creed Of that party from the begin
ming has been the money OF the
constitution, gold and silver, with
equ Il rights for both metals at the
mintS, the treasury, the bank coun-
ter d the store and shop.-Plain

man working like thunder for any
thing, and spending thousands Of
dollars to accomplish IT, as was
done at st. Louis, do you think for

on your life. When the Wall street
