The Colorado Senator's Disagree.

Senator Teller of Colorado has de- clared his intention of leaving the Re publican party if the St. Louis conyen- tion adopts platform favorable to the maintenance of the gold standard. In his opinion it will be better for all who believe in the sacred 16 to 1 to join the Populists or form silverite party than to try to secure free coinage as Repub- licans or Democrats.
 Senator Wolcott of the same state does not agree with his colleague. He has announced that while he desires the free coinage of silver he will abide by the decision of the national convention, and warns the people of Colorado against an alliance with the Populists. ''The Populist party, " he says 'fayors free coinage, but only as stepping stone to unlimited paper money, and it unites with its free coinage advocacy socialistie and paternalistic doctrines which are dangerous ill their tendency, and which would be, if adopted, de- structive of free institutions. "
 While the course of Senator Wolcott in pointing out the dangers of Popu- lism is to be praised, it must be ad mitted that Senator Teller's attitude is more consistent with the silver theories which both senators hold If the Repub lican party declares against free coin age, the Republicans ill the senate should be believers in an honest dollar. Advocates of free coinage should unite with the free silver party, so that there would be no question as to where they stand. Senator Teller is very much mis- taken in supposing that if the silyerites of both parties join the Populists they can get majority of the people to vote for their candidates. But he will do less harm as an announced opponent of Republicanism than if he remained ill his party while fighting against it's principles

Free Coinage Not American.

The agitators who try to get support for the silver standard by pretending that it is the only and original American system are either very ignorant of his tory or think the people are. Silver was used to measure values thousands of years before America was discovered. and it might still be the principal money metal of Europe were 1t not for the great amounts of gold mined in America during the past four centuries. There is no record that the Indians ever used silver as money, their medium of exchange being wampum. the real American currency.
 The attempt to create prejudice in favor of the 50 cent dollar by claiming that the men who want it made our monetary standard are patriots" and true American" is too childish for argument Every schoolboy knows that cheap silver is the money of the pauper Hndoos and Chinese How, then, can it be more American" than gold?

Money Must Heve Value.

Every standard measure must have the dimension CT quality it is designed to measure. Other qualities are unim- portant or Of secondary consequence. The yard must have length the bushel measure must have capacity, and the measure of value must have value. By this is not meant value ill use, as the value of air and water, but value ill ex- change, which is the only known value to political economy. All talk about any other kind of value in this eonnec- tion is only shallow attempt to eyade an inevitable conclusion. It is just as easy and as rational to imagine yard stick without length, CT gallon meas ure without capacity, CT q pound weight that weighs nothing, as dollar with out value. This property of value in heres in money as stubbornly as the oth- CT properties inhere in other standards

Over In NIexlco.

Among the evidences of increasing prosperity in free silver Mexico the Mexican International railroad is some times mentioned.
 Recently a good deal of fuss was made i'll certain quarters over the statement that the company increased its business last year and had all excess of income over expenses of more than $l, 900, 900.
 The facts are these:
 The nominal net earnings of the rail road were S1, 057, 439, in Mexican dol lars. The interest OH the eompany's s bonds, however, was $56o, 900, and it had to be paid ill gold. As Mexican dollar is worth only 51.83 cents in gold, its net earnings converted into our cur rency, which is as good as gold, would pay only $548, 010 thus leaving the rail road actually with deficit. We think our free silver friends will soon learn that it does not pay to go to Mexico for arguments. Atlanta Journal.

WHAT MAKES THEM POOR.
A Free Silver Kindergarten Lesson Fos
 the Benefit of Those Who Need It.

4 Free Silver Kindergarten Lesson Fos
 the Benefit of Those Who Need It. What is it makes some people poor? The crime of 1S73
 How did that "crime" cause poverty? By striking down one-haf of the mon ey of the country.
 How much silver money was there in the United States in 1878?
 Less than $50, ,o0o, GOO.
 How rdueh have We now?
 Six hundred and twenty five million dollars.
 Does this increase Of about S550, 000.. 900 look like reduction in the volume of our silver money?
 So Senator Stewart says
 What causes floods, cyclones, droughts, weeyil, bollworms, grasshoppers, go- phers and other evils which injure the farmers and planters crops?
 The gold standard.
 What will make the COWS give more milk, the sheep grow more wool, the hogs weigh twice as much and the hens lay bigger eggs?
 The silver standard
 Name some of the silver standard countries.
 China, India and Mexico
 Are the people of those countries more prosperous than the American farmers and workers?
 No; they are great deal poorer.
 Why has not their silver money made those countries rich?
 Ask something easier.
 If there are more poor people in silver standard countries than i'll gold using nations, how would free coinage of 50 cent dollars abolish poverty i'll the Unit ed States?
 That is one of the things that nobody ean find out.

Silver and the Fall In Prices.

The Philadelphia American, paper published ill a sound money city, but devoted to the cause of free coinage, re- peats, in a recent issue, the stale old as sertion that it is the adoption of the gold standard which has caused such mark. ed decline i'll prices. Without going into the general question of the effect which the quantity of money in country has on the prices of goods, it is only needful to point to tho fact that prices have fall en just the same in countries on a silver basis as in those using gold Wheat is cheaper i'll America than it was some years ago. 1t is also cheaper in India and Russia, both silver standard coun- tries-in fact, it is largely the competi- tion of their low priced wheat which has brought down the price of American wheat.
 Can The American explain why the cheap silver of Russia and India has not kept up prices in those countries? If using more silver would benefit our farmers by giving them higher prices, why has it not done so where silver is the only money used? How can we ex- peet that bushel of wheat will buy more goods, if measured by silver dollars, when it is found that in countries which have always had the silver standard wheat brings no more than in America?
 These are questions which the be- lievers in sound money have been asking ever since the present agitation for free coinage was started. Is it not about time that the silYerites tried to answer them?

The ..strlekena Silver Dollar.

MT. Crisp told his audience at Albany that the act of 1873 had "stricken down" one-haIf of the money of final payment in this country. Does anybody know of any kind of dollar of United States money that hasn't the purchasing power of 100 cents? MT. Crisp means that silver money has been stricken down. y Has anybody tried to pay . debt with silver dollars or silver certiti- cates and failed? If silver dollars were "stricken down, 1" "demonetized, y and all of those other terrible things, what is the governments present silver circu- lation based upon? What are silver dol lars redeemable in?-Sayannah News.

conkling on Monetary LegislatiOn.

I do not believe that you can legls- late up the value of anything any more than believe that you can make gen erals heroes by legislation. The contl- mental congress tried legislating values up even by resorts to penalties, but the inexorable laws of trade, as independent as the law of grayitation, kept them down. I do believe you can legislate . value down, and that you can do It py attempting to legislate it up.--Roscoe Conkling, Feb. 4, 1862.

Must Consider the German Vote.

It may be in this crisis that the Ger mans will play specially important role. h the east they are altogether sound upon the silver question, and in the west the preponderance of German sentiment is sound. If the conventions perceive that they will have to reckon with the German vote, the influence Of that vote will not be lost. New Yorker Staats- Zeitung.

The People. Not the Politicians. VIII Vii

The Journal has always stood for sound money and contended that the re- suit of the discussion would be the tri- umph of that doctrine. It did not do this in the spirit of prophecy. but be- cause it was convinced that the good sense of the people could bring them to no other conclusion. The politicians may manipulate and make a great showing on the free silver side, but when one comes to talk to the people at large, when the question is presented to them, there is but one result possible Mil waukee Journal

splendid man has fallen. He departed
TO his reward with a, pure record and
a stainless character as a man, cit
izen and public officer. His record
as councilman was above reproach.
He always stood for honesty and econ
omy and never paraded his good quail
ties in this respect before his colleagues
or the public. He was always moder-
ate, always conservative, always SEN
sible, and always candid 1t can be
truly said that Wichita never had
more conscientious public servant In
politics Mr.. Kenyon was Democrat,
and while ne always stood for those
sturdy principles of economy in office
characteristic OF the old school Of his
party, he never made himself offensive
ly partisan. With an overwhelming ma
jority against him, he was always con-
sidered the venerable father Of the coun
Gil, and he enjoyed the confidence Of
not only his fellow members but the
mayor and other city officers as well.
In private life Mr.. Kenyon was the
soul OF honor. He had a magnificent
heart that was as tender as that of
woman. He wished everybody well
and he felt for those who were not
getting along better IN the world.
Mr.. Kenyon had a broad mind and a
brain stored with information, but be-
ing of a modest disposition only his
friends knew it Few were aware that
he was a man of beautiful literary taste.
He had read some splendid books in his
time and it was always interesting to
hear him discuss the authors of
renown and their works He was IA
miliar with all the famous authors and
could quote freely from them. He was
a man of very strong friendships and
was never angered by anybody who
aimed to do right in the world and by
his fellow man. In a word, Mr. Ken
yon was one Of natures noblemen.
