almost absolute tFuthfulness that all the
worlds monetary obligations are gold
bearing paper payable to or through the
Bank of England, and the money Of Eng
land is gold. Silver will pay debt of 40
shillings Ia little less than $l0). The
Royal Commission, having been ap-
pointed to examine the subject, reported
in 1910 that the gold Of the world Is
sufficient for the transaction of the
worlds business; that prices OF COM
modities would accommodate themselves
to that standard, and that the general
level Of prices would fall or rise as the
quantity of gold diminished or increased.
Six years after that report was pub
lished. England changed from the silver
standard to that of gOld and by long
study and careful experiment, aided by
legislation of Parliament the Bank of
England seems, at length, to have got
control of machinery to adjust exchanges
that makes that institution master OF
the worlds finances, so long as the gold
standard is maintained in that country
and the worlds debts are payable there.
BY raising or reducing rates Of discount
it can and does increase, retain or dimin-
ish it's stock of gold, and thus maintain
an equilibrium in the cOuntry's finances.
Why, then, should England consent
to change her standard? She could gain
nothing and would be entering on an
experiment without any pressing de-
mand from her own people, and hence
without justification except a desire to
please the people of other nations, and
that has not been an inspiring motive
with the English people in any matter
of business involving peCuniary cOnsid-
eratiODs.
The officers Of the British Cabinet
Council are divided on the prOpriety OF
the proposed international commission,
and there is no hope that they could ever
agree to any change in their govern
ment's monetary standard; hence they
have informed Mr.. WOlcott and his asso-
ciates that they see no reason why they
should be a party to a proceeding from
which no results can be expected.

A WORD ABOUT REPUDIATION.


The country has heard a great deal
about reputation during the last year
or two. Even now while we are coming
silver dollars, Of the kind, too, that Re
publicans themselves authorized and
that Populists have all along been de-
handing, all the gold standard people
are crying out against reputation that
they insist somebody or some party Is
threatening.
Here is an extract from Washing
ton dispatch sent out ten days or more
ago:
con account of the tremendous drop
in the price of silver, If the Treasury
should begin to estimate its holdings
at their market value to-day, there would
be instead of cash balance of $22OOOO,-
600 an actual deficit Of $SO,0OO,OOO."
The line Of argument advanced in sup
port Of the startling announcement that
there is an actual deficit in the Treasury
of $3O,OOO,0OO, is this:
"The Treasury reckOns its silver,
coined and uncOined, as worth $5O5,OOO,-
900. OF this sum 1891 100000 is in stand
ard silver dollars, in which the Treasury
counts a silver dollar as real dollar in
assets. The remaining $114,OOO,OOO is IN
bullion, purchased under the act OF 1890,
in which the silver is reckoned at It's
cost price. The margin OF inaccuracy IN
these two items obviously varies much.
The standard silver dollars are actually
worth about 40 per cent. Of what the
Treasury rates them at, and while the
price of bullion silver has fallen ma
terially, it stands to-day for much more
than 40 per cent. of it's cost. But while
the Treasury allows for these two assets
S5O5 900 900, the markets Of the world are
paying only $252 100000 for the same
thing-the government stamp being ex-
cepted. The real assets Of the Treasury
are its gold at $141, ,OOO,0 900, its silver at
S252 900 900, and its miscellaneous items,
netting, as per official statement, $52,-
600 900, or total of $446, 100000. Against
this total the government has as liabili-
ties 1865, 3,000,0 900 in outstanding silver
certificates, less the silver certificates
in the Treasury, and $11S,OOO,OOO In the

THE IMPERIAL DOMINION OF GOLD.

THE IMPERIAL DOMINION OF GOLD.
Commerce is the pioneer Of civiliza-
tlon. In it's spread are developed all the
forces which tend to multiply energy and
conquer resistance. The history Of civ
ilizatlon in England is a record Of the
worlds advances in the arts Of trade and
war. In her contest for commercial SUI
premacy she won, and with the growth
of her trade her credit has spread until
now her capital city is the worlds finan-
cial center. Coming out Of the dark ages
with silver as her basic money metal
she set her wise men to considering
whether her credit and that Of her
wealthy subjects could not be made more
secure, as against the property OF debt
ors charged with the obligation of pay
ment, if gold alone were made to rep
resent her monetary unit, thus reduc-
ing values Of property to correspond
to the the legal value put on gold by act
OF Parliament. A Royal Commission re-
ported that the gold In the world at
fixed valuation is sufficient for the
worlds exchanges-the level Of prices
falling or rising as the quantity of gold
is diminished or enlarged.
Following the receipt Of this infOrma-
ton, England, in 1916, laid the fOunda-
ton for a worlds monetary system
based on gold as the metal in which all
debts must be finally paid. Within sixty
years Germany, France and the United
States, the most powerful commercial
nations, after Great Britain, went to the
gold standard, followed by the smaller
nations of Europe, and now, with Austro-
Hungary Italy and Russia gone the
same way there is not mint in
Europe open to the coinage Of silver
except on government account. Japan
has changed her coinage to correspond
to the European standard. China is get
ting ready for a similar movement.
Peru, Chill and Argentina are now prac-
tically on a gold basis, and Mexico will
not be able long to successfully resist
the commercial tide that Is moving over
| the world.
While all this has been going on, Eng
lish credit has been extending the field
Of its operations to all the nations of
the earth. With credit on one side, there
must be debit on the other side of the
account, and the worlds ledger is kept
in London Ten thousand million dol
lars credit; ten thousand million dollars
debit-and this amount increasing year
by year, bearing interest at the rate OF
S per cent. per annum-all payable in
gold, with the worlds stock Of gold
money less than four thousand million
dollars. This brings the worlds finances
to the base established by the British
Parliament eighty years ago.
And now, when the President of the
United States, pursuant to resolution
of Congress, sends commission to Eu'
rope with authority to request the lead
ing commercial nations there to join the
United States in conference with the
view of restoring the use of silver as q
money metal, the answer of the nations
approached depends on that Of Eng
land, and her officers decline.
Thus do we see and recognize the inn
perial dominion Of gold.

upon the silver purchases under that act.
Here are liabilities Of $476, 100000 against
assets Of $446, 1000, ,000 or an actual deficit
Of $S0000000."
Nothing, except an attempt to enforce
the theory Of that argument, could more
forcibly illustrate the absurdity, the
wicKedness and the danger Of the metal
lie theory of money. But the point to
which we especially ask attention is the
suggested loss of 60 per cent on the sill
yer dollars and silver certificates. The
amount Of silver certificates out is about
$3.50, 100000. This is in actual circula-
tion among the people. These certif-
Gates and silver dollars, Of which there
are about 60,000,000 out, form the prin-
cipal currency Of the people who perform
the manual labor of the country. These
two items-coin $6O,OOO,OOO and certif-
Gates $38O,OO0 900, equal total of $44O,-
100000. Sixty per cent. Of this is 1884,
100000 If the policy suggested in this
Washington dispatch were enforced, it
would cost the hard-working people OF
the United States an aggregate and i'm
mediate loss equal to the total Of the
bond sales Of 1894 and 1895.
Here would be a reputation Of 1884,
100000 of money now actually in the
hands of the people. 1t would be equiv
alent to sending officers out among the
people to take that much of their money
away from them.
Now, who is proposing or suggesting
this Infamous proceeding? Only the
people who favor the gold standard.
This is true, however, only partially, for
the great body of the people have not yet
grasped the enormity of the gold stand
ard doctrine in practice. 1t is only the
Morgans, the Belmonts, the Sages and
their associates and men of their class,
who are hardened to this extent. Once
let the average man who has interests
in corn fields but none in banks or gold
mines, in shops and factories but none
in stocks and bonds, look this wicked
proposition in the face and he will in
stantly renounce all politics but that of
loyalty to freedom, and he would repu-
diate the tyranny that would thus de-
spoil him.
The attempt to take $264,OOO,0OO di-
rectly out of the peoples pockets by
repudiating that much of their money
in actual possession, would soon bring on
the spectacle of mighty people rising.
The Emporia Republican declares in
favor of a revision of the tax laws and
proposes a commission for that purpose,
adding: There should be provided a
maximum levy at about one-half what is
new permitted, which levy should be
based on the preceding years valuation,
and continued as the basis for five years.
Then the laws relating to fees and sal
aries should be made to correspond with
the revenues to be raised under this max
imum limit. These revised laws should
be presented to the next session Of the
Legislature to be acted upon. The COM
mission should consist of two POpulists,
two Republicans and one Democrat. The
civilized world is in trust and people
cannot help themselves, except in the
comparatively small circles of the COM
monwealth in which they live. These
circles, or municipalities, must be con-
trolled to meet the conditions that pre-
vail"

The st. Joseph News says: ''If cap
italists are timid about investments in
the stirring metropolis of the Rockies,
it is only because the people, with their
wild theories, have shaken the faith of
those who own money. If the politi-
clans and political newspapers of Col
oradO would let up on this cry for free
silver, greenbackism and other like crank
notions, Colorado wOuld very rapidly
recover her former magnificent activ-
ity." How strange it is that the money
OF some people is too good to invest
among common folks, It's fact,
though, that such is the case, and that
is why common folks want money suit
