REPUBLICAN MONEY PLANKs.

White Rock, 8. D.. Aug. Is, 1895.
The convention of 1880 made no ex-

counting among the things accom-
plished by the party, that it had ere
stored upon a solid basis payment in
coin of all national obligations and
had given as a currency absolutely

extended country" In 1884, Chairman
Mckinley reported the platform, which
contained this: I'VE have always rec
commended the best money known to
the civilized world, and we urge that
an effort be made to unite all com.
mercia1 nations in the establishment
of an international standard. which
shall fix for all the relative value of
gold and silver coinage" In 1888. Mr..
Mckinley again reported the platform,
which, on this subject only, said: 1.-THE
Republican party is VI favor of the
use of both gold and silver as money,
and condemns the policy Of the Demo
cratic administration in its efforts to
demonetize silver.
In 1892, the money plank read: "The
American people, from tradition and
interest, favor bimetallism, and the
Republican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard
money, with restrictions and under
such provisions, to be determined by
legislation, as will secure the mainte-

Christ Olson, painter living at S7316

Edward Johnson, and yesterday did

been somewhat depressed the last few
days and when Johnson asked him
yesterday morning what was the mat

He said he thought he would feel bet

along the left side Of his throat and
then fell on the floor, thinking he had

HEAsT-BOUND CAR RUNS INTO AN
OPEN SWITCH NEAR THE HAIR

PASSENGERS WE'RE FRIGHTENED,

death OF Charles Yantez, motorman.
and general shaking up of the pas
sengers On both of the cars which col
lided
The accident occurred on a siding
about mile and a half east of the
harvester works, and was the result
Of switch being left open. Cars from
Wildwood have the right Of way, and
all east-bound cars have to wait on
the sidings. The sidetrack where the
accident occurred is at the foot of a
rather steep grade. and the car from
Wildwood was running at a good rate
of speed. The car which Motoman
Yantez had charge of pulled into the
siding and waited for the one from
WILDWOOD to pass. 1t is custom or
rule that when cars going east leave
the sidings the switches shall be
turned back so as to avoid accidents.
Yantez supposed that the switch had
been properly fixed, and, running his
car as near as possible to the main
track, waited for the car coming west
to pass. The motorman Of the west
bound car also supposed the switch
was in proper position, and did not
discover the contrary until the car
turned into the siding and an instant
afterdard crashed into the other one.
There was a sound Of crashing glass
and chorus Of shrieks from the pas
sengers as the cars came together. The
lights in the west bound car went out.
and for moment there was almost a
panic. The car from Wildwood was
not seriously damaged aside from the
breaking Of the headlight and the
smashing of the glass in the front
windows. Passengers on the car from
Wildwood soon recovered from the ex-
citement, and, with the conductor and
motorman, attempted to rescue Yam
tez, who was crushed badly by the
collision. The injured man was lifted
from the wreck, but died almost in
stantiy. The body was placed on the
car and taken to North ST. Paul, and
the coroner notified.
There were but two passengers on
the car going east, both ladies, and,
fortunately, neither Of them was in
Jured. Mrs. Blanchard one of the
passengers, was so frightened py tfk
shock that she tainted ind fell to the
moor OF the car. but was injured only
by the fall, and not severely.
Yantez was a single man. thirty
three years old, and lived at North
ST Paul. The accident delayed travel
on the road for about two hours.

beker was the9treasurer under him. In
his report for June 80, 1891, he says:
such heavy exports of gold as signal
lied the last six months of the year,
the heaviest recorded in the history OF
the nation, naturally excited profound
interest. To the treasury the
outflow was particularly significant,
since the treasury had to furnish all
the material. These movements
were the result. apparently, of natural
laws" Again the treasurer. In 1891
he says: 1T must not be overlooked
that the figures for the former Q89D
of the two years are swelled by the
transfer of the bank note redemption
fund, which amounted, at the time
of Its deposit in the treasury in July,
1890, to .$54.3SS. 475.75. If this be con-
sidered, what in fact it was, a receipt
of prior years, the figures will show
an excess of upward of $SS, 900, 900 of

Children Cam Attend the Catholic
Schools without Cost

At the morning service of the Cath
olic churches of the Twin Cities yester-
day, was read a letter from Archbishop
Ireland, materially affecting the church
schools of the two cities. The purport
Of the communication was the abolish
ing of the monthly amount which has
hitherto been assessed upon all scholars
attending those schools. 1t has been
found that some parents were unable
to pay the required tuition, and al
though the amount has been RENTED
in all such cases, the result has not
been satisfactory. From this time for
ward the Catholic schools of ST. Paul
and Minneapolis will be as free to
pupils attending them as the public
schools. In his letter the archbishop
says:
I'VE are confident that this regula-
ton will be pleasing to pupils and to
parents, and will result In notable
increase in the attendance upon our
schools. Parents will see in this regu-
lation a new evidence of the zeal of
their pastors for Catholic education.
and Of their willingness to do all that
is possible to meet the wishes of the
people"
The letter concludes with a statement
of the advantages of religious training
in connection with the education of the
children Of the land, and calls upon ali
Catholic parents to hold up the hands
of the priests In making a success of
the new order.
The change in the manner of raising
money for the support of Catholic
schools in the Twin Cities comes as
the result Of several meetings Of the
pastors Of the various churches In
those cities. The plan originates with
the pastors who are willing to under
take the added burden imposed upon
them Of raising funds for the support
Of the church schools. At meeting
held in st. Paul about six weeks ago,
the scheme was outlined, and board
OF education was decided upon for the
two cities, to consist of four members
from each city.

earthly difference can it make whether
the government holds the silver bull
lion and coins it into dollars as fast
as there is a demand for them to re-
deem the treasury notes, or whether
it coins it first and redeems them
afterward? The only possible effect Of
the latter policy would be to get the
advantage of what is called the ''seign-
forage" that is to say, the extra
amount of fat that would enter into
these dollars. AS congress passed bill
to that effect, we may assume that the
government has no power to do that
without congressional authority. AS
that bill was vetoed and failed to pass
over the veto, there is no authority
except for the particular purpose of
redeeming the treasury notes. and only
as fast as, and to the extent that they
are presented for redemption.
Mr.. Faussett's contentious regarding
the nature of money and the efficacy
of legal tender acts are totally contra
dictory one of the other. In one place
he assumes that 1t is the impression
of legal authority" that makes money
and gives to it value. Later on in
his letter he assumes, correctly, that
such money is not value, but IAN OBJ
legation A paper promise to pay,
by whomsoever issued, whether indi-
vidual or government and q coin
which is less than full weight are both
Of them obligations or promises to
pay to the extent of the difference be-
tween their face value and the market
value of the commodity Of which they
are composed. A limited quantity of
such money can be kept in circulation
at par, because the people believe in
the ability and intention of the gov
eminent to redeem it. When that limit
is exceeded, such money depreciates
rapidly. We have reached the limit
If it were the decree of government
which alone constituted money of full
value, then the question which we ask
is perfectly pertinent. There is no rea-
son, in that case, why a government
should not bless all it's subjects by
issuing to each of them an unlimited
quantity of money. If it is the decree
Of authority that gives it currency
and standing, then the quantity of ii
cannot make any difference. The
stamp of the government on the bill
lionth dollar that it prints is just the
same as on the first If this is not the
case, however, if the quantity of money
so issued does affect it's exchange
value, then it is proved that this ex-
change value is not conferred by the
stamp, which is identical, whether the
volume be large or small.
One or the other of these two views
of money must be true You cannot
hold one of them at one time and
the other of them at another. Every
person who has begun by attempting
to prove to the G l o that it is the
legal tender power which confers val
ues has ended by admitting that, not
withstanding this, the quantity of such
legal tender money must be limited
If so, why and where should the limit
be placed? Who is it that is compe-
tent to decide just what amount OF
money the country needs? This whole
theory of money is fundamentally
wrong, and we think we have traced
its fallacies to their source.

Mr.. r. ]. Faussett, who writes to us
elsewhere in an aggrieved spirit, seems
to us to be unduly disturbed over COM
ment which was, we think. entirely
courteous and fitted to the tenor of his
original communication We will, how
ever, so direct to the question which he
now raises. He once more talks about

that there is no silver bullion in the

and hold bullion. They simply coin

pose. The only silver bullion owned
by the United States government is
in the custody of the United States
