What England Thinks About It.

The following from the London
Financial NeIOS will give readers an idea
Of the alarm with which the possibility
of the adoption Of free coinage in this
country is viewed by our European
neighbors:
"There is plain moral in the remark
that if the United States would venture
to cut herself Rdrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back and
the command Of the markets of both
countries. The barrier Of gold would be
more fatal than any barrier Of custom
house. The bond Of silver would be
stronger than any bond of free trade,
There can be no doubt about it that if
the United States were to adopt silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not only
at home, but in every other market. OF
course the United States would suffer
to certain extent through having to
pay her obligations in gold, but the loss
Of exchange under this head would be q
mere drop in the bucket as compared to
the profit to be reaped from the markets
of South America and Asia, to say
nothing Of Europe. The marvel is that
the United States have not long ago
seized the opportunity. 1t has been a
piece of luck that has never occurred to
the Americans to scoop US out of the
worlds markets by going on silver basis,
and it might serve us right if, irritated
by the contemplate apathy Of our govern
ment toward the silver problem, the
Americans retalisted by freezing out
gold. 1t could be easily DONE"

No Taxes Next Year.

The city Of Glasgow, Scotland, will
levy no taxes Of any kind after Jsnu.
sry 1, 1897. This pleasing condition
of affairs is due to the city's ownership
of the street railways, gas, electric
light and water systems, and the in
creased revenue derived from their
operation is now sufficient to defray
the expenses Of the municipality. The
reason for this is that every depart.
ment Is run on business principles, and
that civic pride prompts the best citi-
zens to take part In the management
Of English cities. 1t was not until
1850 that Glasgow insugursted the
policy that is now freeing it from taxa
tion. A private company then owned
the WsterWorks, and charged an exor-
bitsnt price for the service. When
the system was purchased by the city
the supply Of water was greatly In
creased, the cost to consumers was
reduced, and In recent years a net rev.
enue of $500, 900 has been flowing into
the city treasury, The successful man.
sgement Of the water system resulted
In the city's purchase of the gas works,
and the people, instead of paying $1.14
a thousand feet for gas, as they for,
merly did, now pay 60 cents. The
street railways were also acquired, and
have likewise been successfully ban

No Money Except Fiat Money.

The Wall street party and its sdvo-
Gates insist that there can be no good
money that depends upon the fiat of
the government of the United States;
that the fiat Of Europe is all right,
and that the fat Of Uncle Sam is weak.
Let US examine into the question.
After all, what is fat money! Is there
any money In the country that is not
fat money! People by common con-
sent may accept bank note or other
forms of currency, but such cur
rency is not money in any true sense.
There is not q dollar of real money
that is not fat money in existence In
the United States. All the gold Of
the world would not pay single debt
but for the fiat Of the federal govern
ment, nor would all the silver Of the
world pay dollar of debt except for
the fat of our government. This is
made too plain for argument.
Should suit be instituted In court
to collect debt, if that debt be 800,
and the debtor rendered In court 81, 600
worth of gold bullion or of silver bul.

PEELED to take it, for the bullion thus
offered would not be a legal tender.

ment as the sole paper currency OF the cOun-
try. And we demand that it be issued In
sufficient volume to fully meet the wants OF
business, without depreciating its value; and
that It shall be received in payment Of all
debts and dues, public and private, except as
otherwise specified by contract that we are
In favor OF an honest greenback that shall al
ways be worth its face in coin, and that it be
Issued in the largest volume that can be kept
adoat at par with coin, TO which end we favor
law OF Congress by which the volume Of
grsenbsck currency In circulation shall al
ways obey the natural law Of supply and de-
mand.
Similar resolutions were adopted at
each Of the three Congressional dis.
triCt conventions held at Manhattan,
Gsrnett and Wichita the same year.
Copies Of them will be found in another
column.
The people Of Kansas have always
favored government paper money; and
as to limit, the foregoing resolution
and those adopted at the Congressional
conventions state 1t well-in "Volume

REPUBLICANISM AGAINST ITSELF.

The Chicago and St. Louis Bryan platforms
both propose the destruction Of National
bank notes and the direct issue in amounts
not limited Of paper money by the govern
ment No plan whatever is suggested for the
security Of these issues. 1t Is the most bald
and ilagrant program for degraded paper
currency ever laid before the America peo-
ple.-Cdpiidl, August9.

State Republican convention at To-

Effect of Our Monetary System.

A subscriber inquiries for some one
In the East who can loan money on
first mortgage at 5 per cent. on fine
creek bottom land In Indiana. For
ourselves we know Of no one. Under
our top-heaVy currency system which
bases So Of paper money on 81 Of gold,
and then allows foreign money chang.
ers to get their grip on the gold; which
permits the surplus of the country
banks to be sent to the large cities and
loaned to spectators In wheat, cotton,
railroad and other stocks, etc., there is
but little chance for a farmer to bor-
row money on favorable terms. This
fact comes home to the women folks
as well as the men, and they too ought
to study up on the money question and
find out what hurts.-FaTm Joarnal,

The Party Needed.

In this nation, with it's growing tend
ency to the concentration of wealth
through the processes Of monopoly, there
is need for great political party which
shall stand firmly antsgonlstic to trusts
and monopolistic combination; which
shall oppose the use of the taxing power
OF the nation to foster monopoly; which
is ready to demand that man be taxed
according to his wealth, not according to
his wants; which shall strive to regain
for thepeople those natural opportunities
that have been seized for the benefit Of
the few, and, refusing consent to the
creation of artificial monopolies, shall
demand that functions naturally and
necessarily monopolistic shall be per-
formed by the State for the benefit Of
all.-NeaO York Journal.

KANSAS REPUBLICANS FAVOR GOVERN
MENT PAPER HONEY.

The Capital denounces government
paper money, and fsVors the use OF
bank notes IN preference. That Is not
good Republican doctrine in Kansas,
In another part Of this paper will be
found copied q resolution adopted by
the Republican State convention at
Topeka, August 28, 1873.
Here are three similar resolu-
tiOns adopted the same year at the
Congressional district COnventiOns-Of
which there were three:
First Congressional district Republi-
can convention held at Manhattan
August IA, 1873 platform resolutions:
second-That as experience has Endorsed
the greenback currency, originated and main
talned by the Republican party, Ss well
adapted to the purposes Of a permanent ciFcu-
lating medium, we hereby declare ourselves
in favor Of q repeal Of the National banking
law, and substitution OF the currency issued
by the government on the security Of q de-
posit Of government bonds, on which no inter

mand that it be issued in sufficient volume to

In view Of these great facts-that

wants change-hoW unfortunate It Il
that, ss modern political campaigns
are conducted, the great body of the
people are not fairly and honestly deali
with. Party prejudices are so strong
that mems minds are beWildered and
clouded with them, and persons who
are set up, or who set themselves up az
leaders and teachers, In many In.
stances, seem to be so little interested
In the building up of sound doctrine
that they prefer to deceive rather than
to instruct when their party interests
may be temporarily better served in
that way.
This is a republic. Ours is a gov
ernment by the people, The people
means all the people-pOor as well as
rich, illiterSte and learned alike, the
day labOrer side by side with the
banker, the speculator and the man Of
ease. But we cannot all be educated
in ststeCrsft; we cannot all be lawyers,
or preachers, or bankers; nor can many
Of us be orators, editors, or political
economists. But we are all entitled to
fair treatment at the hands of our fell
lows to whom we look for instruction
and information. When a man is en-
ployed to spade a garden, build a
fence, edit journal, conduct a bank,
manage a railroad, represent a con-
stituency, or speak from the public
platform, he ought to do his work not
only well but honestly and in good
faith. The people who read newsps-
pers and listen to public speeches are
entitled to honest treatment.
Teachers of schools are examined
touching their competency. Profes-
sional men and women generally are
required to pass rigid examinations
before engaging In practice, and civil
service rules are now applied to nearly
all departments of the public service.
Such q custom would, Of course, be
imprsCtiCsble In the conduct of a po-
liticsl campaign In country like ours,
where every person has q right to
speak and write what he chooses; but
men who aspire to teach with tongue
or pen ought, as q matter of self
respect, If for no other reason, to deal
honestly with the people and utter
nothing seriously that they do not be.
lieVe or have good reason for believing,
or are neither ready or willing to de-
fend.
Applying this thought, how much
better in the long run it would be for
all the people and the public interests
II campaign speakers and writer's
would be patriotic rather than par
tisan - Americans rather than Re-
publicsns, Democrats or Populists.
We are all equally interested In good
legislation. If a party is wrong it
ought not to be entrusted with the
powers of government. On the other
hand, If party is right, it ought to be
supported. The administration of
public affairs ought always to be in
loyal and patriotic hands.
