The Republicans Of Ohio have blazed
the way for the National party on the
money question and have done it
courageously, not withstanding the
herculean efforts that have been made
to commit the party to the gold stand
ard and to the destruction Of silver as
money: They have DECLARED in state
convention that the party is irrevoca-
bly, committed to honest money, to
honest bi-metallism, to the use and
maintenance of both gold and silver
as standard money. This is indeed. a
victory for the friends of silver for it
is exactly what every friend of silver
desires. But the Minneapolis Jour
nal is disguised Of course and so are
the other gold-worshipping newspa-
pers that are run in the interest OF
Wall Street and the money syndicates,
but they will come to, later on, when
they discover that our grand old party
cannot be made a tool of, by Wall
Street gamblers and London Jews.

Now honor bright, if this Ohio
platform satisfies Bro. Hoard so
as to make him shout for Foraker

more to say! Why here are the
very same words and phrases
that we're adopted at Minneapolis

platform has been interpreted to
declare for the gold standard by
the great majority Of the party.

This is an axiom in the science
of money not open to dispute at
this day.
The whole volume of full legal
tender money is the measure of
value of all other things for sale,
or exchange for money.
Metal money can have unlimit-
ed coinage because the produc-
ton Of the money metals is limit.
ed, and so far has never made
money too plentiful nor even
sufficient for the need of com
MERGE and business. Paper
money must be, and always is,
limited by law, because the sup
ply of material to make it from
is unlimited.
Back of ill full legal tender
money, be it gold, silver or pa.
per, stands the wealth of the
whole nation. The nation re.
deems every legal tender dollar,
be it gold, silver or paper, in re-
ceiving them for taxes. AS long
as the nation stands there can be
no such thing as an unsound dol
lar. This talk about sound
money EN- mates from those who
believe this government will
break up. Nobody else ques
tions the soundness of any dollar
stamped by this nation. It should
be treason, and it will some day

such like rot. There is no sc
cent dollar in this country, never

monstrous proposition of the age

Of bankruptcy in the future!
Don't let US be fooled. Falla
cies, however cunning, expose
themselves in the end. They
work their own ruin. And the
end of this gold delirium is neal
at hand. No Wall Street or Grow
err Sherman, or political party
can save the tottering idol. A
wave of popular excitement is
now sweeping this country from

question, and it will sweep or

MONEY AGAIN.


! MONEY AGAIN..
The New London Times con.
tainS some criticisms on our ar.
ticle on intrinsic value of money.
Among the other things it says:
"We think that the Doctor has
gone too far and, like many other
populists, is too firm believer in the
fiat Of the government, therefore We
will make criticism on the Tribune
article
Well. we believe in fat money
Or money created by law-very
thoroughly. And when Bro
Eben or any other person, will
show US a dollar that is not a fat
dollar, then we will be willing to
give up the idea of a fat money.
Again:
"Money must have some intrinsic
! value in order to be q measure OF
value. If the government were to
stamp out pieces of paper and called
one of them dollar, how under the
! sun can a person know if he is to take
one of those pieces or 20 for a days.
work, if there was not something be-
hind to give it value to counterbal-
| ance the value Of his days work
When the government levies taxes how
is it to determine whether the owner
of 40 acres of land must pay 20 or
200 such dollars as taxes?:'
Now, properly speaking there
is no such thing as intrinsic
value" There is such a thing
as intrinsic quality in all things,
paper, steel, beans. gold. silver
and even dirt. But the word
value, properly speaking, means
ratio to some other thing with
which it is compared, and means
commercial value" not ''intrin-
sic value" The intrinsic value
or quality of "a thing never chan
ges. A bushel of wheat contains
always the same food property.
Food property is the intrinsic
quality-improperly sometimes
called value-of wheat. But the
commercial value of wheat is
quite another thing and depends
on supply and demand and chan
ges with these.
Now if Bro. Eben had said tt lat,
"money must have some com
mercial value in order to be a
measure Of value" he would have
hit it. And if any populist or
other money crank had ever pro-
posed that this or any other
government should stamp or
print an unlimited quantity of
pieces of paper and call them
dollars. than his conundrum
might have some sense. But as
such a proposal is not known so
far, his supposition is simply i'm
imaginary. Bro. Eben evidently
labors under the old delusion
that by fat money, is meant an
unlimited issue Of paper money.
Of course. an. unlimited issue of
paper. money. would be worthless.
But a properly limited issue of
fiat paper money is as good as
gold, and if the volume is very
limited much better-more valu-
*uable-than gold. He himself
admits lkthatylater on when he
says; "Greenbacks have been at
a:premipm in the East this year: :
Now why were greenbacks at. a
premium? Was It because pf
the intrinsic value or quality of
the material they were made Of?
Hardly. It was because the de-

Everything in this vicinity is

silver; for the appreciation of silver
and its increased use as a money
metal tends to tighten the weight OF
national and private Indebtedness by
increasing the supply of legal tender
and non-redeemable currency. 1t
seems probable, however, that the
money power has gone as far as it
can, for the time being, in the direc-
ton ofuniversalgold monometallism
and that reaction. if not now at
hand, may be looked for in the near
future. This will naturally result
from a contraction of the money
supply in the gold standard countries,
and large increase of currency in
the silver standard countries. In
the former, merchants and manufac-
turers will continue to do business
on a falling market, while in the
latter the increase of currency will
bring about gradual rise of prices,
consequent intense business activity.
All the progressive silver-using coun-
tries will flourish as never before in
their history, while the weaker and
nonprogressive ones will be absol-
utely at the mercy oflthe moneylen
ers. This reaction will be. in the
interest of the silver miner, and when
it once becomes generally apparent,
we may expect to see better feeling
in the silver producing sections.
Meanwhile the battle Of the stand
ards will go on, with all the. greed
Of the usurer, all the rapacity of the
monopolist, and all the cunning of
prescription and hereditary privilege
on the side of gold recommendation,

Death of BOzelnan.

John Evars, now of Chotcau,
was, daring the winter of 1867,
camped at the Bozeman ferry on
the Yellowstone river in company
with two men by the name of
Cochran They had q trading post
there during the early part CT the
winter, but in January the snow
became SO deep that the Indians
moved away and the men found
themselves practically prisoners
until spring.
In April the snow went away
and John Evans, leaving The tive
Cochrans in cha"ge of the post.
set out to visit another camp on
Forty yard creek. On his return
trip he was witness of the tragedy
which ended in the death of Mr.
Bozeman, the founder Of the now
thriving city which bears his name
The story is given in his OWL
words:
"When about five miles from
Forty yard creek I saw ;
party of Indians about three miles
away, on the opposite side of The
river, with the aid of pair o
of glasses. There was muct
confusion among them, bu
at that distance | could not dis
tinctly see what they were doing

"Thomas Coover, of the firm o.
McAdam & Coover, millers anC
freighters of Bozeman, engaged
Mr.. Bozeman to 60 with him t.

/ river to help him get the flour con
tract for that fort and also 70
fort Phil Carney. The two gen
tlemeu had got that far on thei
way when they met q party c

e fore had stolen horse from ou

Those were the last words the poor

and sent two bullets crashing into
his breast. He did not have time
to bring up his rifle that vas lying
in his hand. The two bullets
entered about three inches apart
and the man was dead nlnne = as
soon as he fell.
