THE DIFFERENCE.

"A writer in Gunton's Magazine for
May makes remarkable contrast be-
tween two remarkable men and more
remarkable conditions. Says the
writer: Poor Mr.. Gladstone, after
inheriting a fortune supposed to be
ample for all the needs of a gentleman
and living prudently, Is obliged to
slgnaltze his retirement from the
longest career as party leader ever
known by selling his library and
works OF art to reduce his expenses.
On the contrary, our American Presi-
dent reviews his short period of Office
holding, only twelve years In all, to
find that it has lifted him from a
bachelors fiat in Buffalo into the hon

presidency millionaire"

Cleveland worked to enrich Mrs.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
M'CLEARY's LOGIC,

Farm values in the state of New
York have declined 81 per cent in the
last twenty years, or total Of 81 o.
$1,000. The present senate of that
state contains a lawyers out total
of 80, and there is not one farmer IN the
Uhote list. The assem- bly, has $50 mem
berS, only Is Of whom are farm ers.-,
Philadelphia Amer lean.
No wonder farm values have de-
creased so per cent in q years.-that
is, since it was found out that silver
was demonetized. But McCeary has
discovered that the fall of the price of
wheat was not continuous, because
some years there was a failure OF
crops. drought ,fros t,etc.. here or else
where. and the price fuctuated lit
tie; and SO he mounts a chair and
shrieks Outlook here, farmers, low
prices are not caused by the demone-
tization Ct silver; for see, in such
year the price spurted up ten cents
bushel! Hurrah for mel''
But the lunatical schoolmaster can
not deny that twenty years ago wheat
was worth twice or thrice as much as
it is today; and that it has been
tumbling steadily. with slight fuctu-
ations, during all that time. There
is occasionally warm day In midwin-
ter in Minnesota, but that does not
disprove the fact that our summers
are warmer than our winters. Let
McCleary come UP here, in our next
January thaw." in suit of summer
clothes, with fan, and set to work to
convert the people to the belief that
this is what 10 Wheelock called "sub-
tropical climate:" and then let the
people keep him out of doors until the
wind gets into the north, and there
will be one fool less in the world, and
vacancy in the Minnesota delegation
from the Second District.
In the meantime McCleary should
go down to New York state and COL
lect statistic to show that there has
not been falling off of 500, 600, 900 in
the last twenty years in the price Of
farm land, because farm was sold in
the Mohawk valley for more in 1887
than it was worth in 1886.
See how this country is governed.
Trenty-four lawyers ost of fifty senator's!
One farmer IN ten IN the assembly!
Unhappy country! Is it any wonder
it is ruined? Its destiny left in the
hands of a class who are professionally
trained to defend the wrong as ear
nestly as the right, if the fee is only
forthcoming! A class that carries it's
conscience in the hindmost subdi-
vision of it's pocketbook, Smothered
under bank notes! Id.

SOUND MONEY.

HOW 1T WORKS IN THE RED RIVER
VALLEY.
A Crookston friend writes US, anent
the Republican township and county
conventions, in Polk county:
Il have never seen more complete
machine-work in politics than the
Re publicans have exhibited in hold
ing their conventions. No one was
notified of the holding Of primaries
unless he was known to be "soUND;"
and no one was permitted to go to
convention as delegate but those
who were selected by the machine.
II we had such perfect machinery as
the Republicans are now using there
could be no doubt Of the final result,
provided we could our forces together.
Polk will give her usual majority
next fall and prospects ara good for
large increase il we make no mis-
takes"
This throws light on the mantpula-
tions all over. 1t is highly probab bile,
for instance, that Minnesota will send
a sound-money delegation to the ma
tional Democratic convention at Chi

raise greater mass of wheat than
that In single year. Hence our
comparison Of the government buy
ing Up, or Offering to buy up, all the
wheat and corn that the world had to
sell. is not reasonable one.
The second year the area Of
wheat and corn, with such a fixed
market at high price, would be
doubled, and the next year quad
rupled, and the government would be
bankrupted. But the supply of both
gold and silver does not increase as
fast as population. Moreover govern
ments did not, prior to 1893. buy gold
and silver bullion:--it simply opened
the minis to their coinage, and the
owners brought the bullion there and
carried away the coin.
In other words to compare prod ucts
necessarily limited-tile results Of
certain gases condensed in some
past age in the crevices of rocks
with the unlimited capacity of the
broad face of nature to produce food,
with the help Of the labor of millions
Of men, is both shallow and unjust.
II men could increase the yield OF
gold as they can of potatoes this
whole question would be settled at
once. 1t is claimed by some authori-
ties that every ounce of gold dug out
Of the earth each year is now con :
sumed In the arts;-certain it is the
remainder is very small-utterly dis
proportionate to the growing popula-
tion and business of the world. To
compare this with the product of
wheat is an absurdity.
But as long as the mint stood open
free to both gold and silver, and the
government stood ready to apply its
stamp, at the ratio Of l6 to 1, that af-
forded market and fixed the price
and it was impossible that eithe r
metal should fall below the price. for
no man would sell either for less than
he could get at the minis. Hence sill
yer never began to fall until it was
denied access to the minis; and it will
rise to it's old level just as soon as the
doors are thrown open once more to
it..
Brother Corey is a good fellow, but
he lives too near London. He
breathes an atmosphere saturated
with the emanations of the most cor
rupt daily press in the world. II he
raised crops on Minnesota farm for
year or two his mind would become
as clear as the skies Of the Red River
Valley on winter midnight, and his

Pittsburgh smoke, Brother Corey;

WHAT rs MONEY.

Capt. A. Fl. Nelson. of the weekly
Argus" OF this city, makes some ex-
cellent points and suggestions. In a
recent issue he Celebrates, very ably,
the thought that money is not com
modify but governmental edict. He
quotes as follows:
Tiffany on constitutional Law, "
chapter II. Sec 400, page 22l, says:
THERE'S legally no snch thing as gold
or silver money or paper money;
money is the sovereign authority i'm
pressed on that which is capable OF
taking and retaining the impression;
that upon which the stamp is placed
is called coin: the coin may be metal,
parchment or paper; the value is in
the stamp and not in the metal or ma
terial."
Adam Smith says in his work on
1.-THE Wealth of Nations" that money
was originally stamped coin, but later,
anything that takes its place in buy
ing and selling is money"
Kellogg, in mis- work on the History
of Nations" says money is a legal
existence. made national representa-
tive OF property"
Judge Martin says IN his work of the
Money of Nations" that "money is
the creature Of law, that law makes
and law unmakes money" He cites
the history OF the money legislation
in the United States to prove his as
sertations. The most conclusive in
this line OF proof was the fact that in
1893 and 1874 all foreign coins of gold,
silver and copper were made legal
tender for all sums and so remained
n hu oct ~
foreign coin, no matter what material
money in the United States.
Attorney General Archerman, in his
argument to the supreme court in one
OF the greenback cases before that
tribunal, said that money was a ma
tiOnal impress of authority, a printed
legal decree"
Capt. Nelson we'll adds:
1.-THE constitution of the United
States, article first, sec. 8, says: ICON
gress shall have power to coin money
and regulate the value thereof. That
settles 1t. To coin means to create, to
invent, to bring out something new
and useful as we'll as to stamp metal
coin and they are given the power to
regulate Its value or purchasing pow
er. and no material in the United
States has any legal power to repre-
sent property, to pay debts and taxes,
until it has been stamped vii tin the
impress of the dollar, unit of value of
the United States, on it's face. That
and that alone gives it the power to
legally settle all balances, pay all
debts and taxes, to exchange and
name the value of all property in legal
units sny place within the boundary
lines of the United States.''
Second to the powers of nature,
otherwise the power Of God. the fla t
of government is the supremest thing
in nation. 1t lies at the bottom Of
all laws, all courts, all armies, all pow
ers, all franchises, and-all money. 1t
Is the concentrated voice of the mil
lions who constitute the nation.
