Erll Result OF the cold Standard.

The recent issue of 262 millions II
bonds in time of peace illustrates an
other serious evil of the present none
tary system. The necessity the gov
eminent is under of redeeming green
backs in gold upon demand enables
scheming men to draw large amounts
of gold from the treasury and then say
to the government, Your reserve Is
getting low; you must have gold or you
will be In danger Of failure to keep
your promise in respect to specie pay
ments-issue bonds and get the gold
back again" So the schemers get bonds
for their gold, sell the bonds at a
premium, take the greenbacks they get
for the bonds and draw the gold out Of
the treasury again, till the govern
ment is frightened into new Issue Of
bonds, and 80 on In an endless chain,
with a premium profit for Wall street
on every issue of bonds, and nothing
but accommodating debt for the nation.
When bonds are issued in time Of war
the government gets substantial
equivalent, but these millions Of bonds
that are issued to keep up the gold re-
serve have secured to the people moth
ing at all at any real worth to them.
The spectators rendered no service to
the government--they simply drew out
gold in order to speculate on the bonds
that would be issued, to get 1t back.
The government might start with 80
millions Of gold in the treasury and.
through the repetition Of the above
process, issue billion Of bonds, and at
the end be just where 1t started, with
80 millions of gold in the treasury, and
not a thing to show for the billion Of
debt but the keeping of foolish prom
Use that is Of little advantage to any
one except the schemers who have
found out how to gear II to a bond
printing press and make It turn the
peoples millions into their Golfers as
fast as they dare to turn on the cur
rent.-Prof. Frank Parsons Of Boston

Judging from the cartoons in thu.
plutocratic papers the principal charge
against the farmer is that his whlsk-
ers are too long. OF course this is q
very grave offense and one that can
only be partially atoned for by the fact
that the farmer is kept so busy in the
struggle to keep his head above the
water that he has but little time to-
trim his whiskers in the latest pluto
cratic style. Another reason may be
that he is shaved" so often by specu-,
lators. demagogues and usdrers that he
stands In holy adherence Of shaving
himself.

Here's q surprIse.

Following closely on the decided
stand taken by the Medical World, the
representative organ Of the profession
which its name indicates, for direct
legislation by the people, now comes
the Weekly Law Bulletin and Ohio
Law Journal and puts itself on record
as favoring the reform. The legal fra
ternity, from the very nature of law,
must be the most conservative Of all.
The Law Bulletin, commenting on the
work of the last state legislature and
its suggestion to elect only men
pledged to carry out the wishes Of their
constituents, says:
AS to the remedy proposed by the
Commercial Gazette's review Of the
that there may be spasmodIc move
ments among the people to improve
things, but they soon die out, and af-
fairs will soon go on as before. The
most effective remedy would seem to
be the introduction of the referendum
as 1t exists in the Swiss republic. II
It were known that legislation Of
doubtful character would be brought
before the people for ratification or re-
lection, corrupt cliques would not find
It worth while to spend large sums Of
money, ETC., to secure such legislation
in the first instance. 1t would relieve
the legislatures of temptations which
now surround them, and men who now
go to the legislature for what there is
in It for them would not be willing to
90 there when nothing could be made
out Of it. We should learn from ex-
perience Of otheg republics. The To

1t ought to be seen to now that the
free silver question doesn't serve the
same purpose for the next ten or If
teen years that the tariff question did
for twenty years-that of keeping the
people divided and furnishing a hobby

The silver question is but a minor
one among those incorporated in our
platform, yet its discussion and con-
sideration has engrossed the entire at
tention of the public. While this Is to
be regretted there is some consolation
in the fact that the money question is
'1n court" and If the populists will
pull themselves together and follow
up their agitation much good may yet
accrue from the animated contentious
Of the campaign just closed. Voting
on a proposition dose not always set
tie it, and even it it be claimed that
the silver question is settled, the agi-
tation of the financial question Is only
Just begun.

The whole monetary question should
have entered into the discussion, espe-
cially the problems of who should is
sue the money and how it should be
redeemed. But it seems to be in line
with the usual tactics of considering
the question of how not to settle 1t
instead of grasping the real problem
In dead earnest and demanding its
consideration.

Besides in gauglng the battle on the
silver question alone we were made
subject to unfair comparisons that
proved a serious obstacle in the fight.
The countries of Mexico, Japan, China
and some of the South American states
were pointed out as examples Of the
evil effects of a silver basis, when as
a matter of fact silver had little to do
with the low rate of wages and poor
condition of the laborer in those coun-
tries. 1t will be remembered that
during the tariff discussion the con-
testants pointed to these same coun-
tries as examples of warning against
a change of the American policy"

The developments of the recent CAM
paign have emphasized the Importance
Of wrestling from the banks the power
to issue money. The threats which
have time and again emanated from
Wall street as to what it would do in
the event Of the election of a free
silver administration justihes the peo-
pie to go to the extreme of not only
Withdrawing from them the privilege
of Issuing their own notes, but Of re-
voking their charters. If we cannot
have banks without surrendering to
them the power over the immense
business interests Of the country and of
yielding to their every demand on
threats of panic which they claim
they can and will precipitate, then we
were better of without banks.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Flashes of Thoughts Inspired by Pass
ing Events.

All the objections that can be urged
against gold coin with equal propriety
can be urged against the white metal.
Its volume depends upon chances ofdiS-
covery, and while the free mintage Of
both metals comes nearer filling the
demands for a circulating medium, the
fact that the output of both depends
upon the chances of discovery of new
mines and the exhaustion of old ones,
makes 1t next to impossible to preserve
a uniformity in the volume of curren-
cy even with both used as money met
ais.
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1896-11-12

The campaign is over, but the en-
lightenment which the people received
from it will be as seed sown upon good
ground. Happily the discussion Of
one step toward monetary reform may
lead to an investigation Of the whole.

Populists should improve. All polit-
ical parties should now be put on their
record and their ante-election prom

and do not keep their records clear

have to speak. Let 1t be- known that

field of grain near this city was en-,
tirely consumed Farmers who sowed
grain early will escape with little loss.
but oats that are not ripe at this date
will hardly be worth the cutting Some
corn fields are now being entered. Ii

worm has never done serious damage
here before.

In Oaktieid and Forest the worms were

came IN large numbers. Farmers came
TO town yesterday looking for help so
that they could cut their crops at once,

Bicycle Ordinance Passed by the Com
mon Council at Menasha.
Menasha. Wis, July 22.-[Special.]-.
The Menasha city council met last night
and considerable business of Importance
was transacted. A memorial from the
school board was presented requesting
the appropriation of $4,000 to complete
the expense of building the high school
and $4,000 to repair the grounds. 1t was
referred to a committee. The ordnance
for paving Washington street bridge
came up for final consideration and was
passed over the mayors veto. The BIZ
cycle ordinance which has been the SUBJ
also passed over the mayors veto. The
mayor gave his reasons for objectlng to
the passage of the ordinance stating that
first be ''beleved the ordinance was care
lessly drawn: secondly, after forolddlng
more than three persons riding abreast it
authorizes racing on the public streets,
and If anyone was injured by careless
rider they would be unable to collect
damages The ordinance also requires
all bicycle riders to carry bells on their
wheels and lanterns at night and pro-
hibits riders from going faster than ten
miles an hour through public streets and
must not exceed six miles per hour ap-
proa ching crossings. All riders are re-
stficted from riding on sidewalks. Nee
nah riders use the Menasha streets at all
hours and it will be difficult matter to
compel them to live UP to the REQUIRE
ments of some sections Of the ordinance.
The only legislation against bicycles IN
Neenah is the law which prohibits wheel
Eaen from riding ON Sidewalks.
