ming July 1 the Atchison, Topeka 6

Tr ISN'T FAIR.
Protest Against Further Degrade
ton of Silver as a Commodity,

n Il EoAcat against uElhcE neg ia uaH
ton of silver as a Commodity.
The New York Evening Post, taking
the part Of wolf in sleeps clothing,
cunningly advocates the placing of
duty on imports of silver. It says that
the white metal, as much as cabbage,
potatoes or garlic, is entitled to protec-
ton.
Every true friend of silver will protest
against its further degradation as a
commodity. Silver is not involved in
the question Of the tariff. It belongs to
the currency question alone, and viii
stand CT fall on that issue.
The inadequacy of all currency max
shifts that hold silver to be merely a
commodity was long ago fully deter
mined. The Sherman law, for instance,
for which the enemies of silver were
cunningly responsible, failed OF its le-
ultimate purpose simply because it
placed silver upon a commodity basis,
Then, because it did fail, the goldbugs
laid all the blame upon the white metal.
1t was no fairer than to tie a mans
hands behind his back, shacIlle his feet,
blindfold his eyes, and then tell him TO
defend himself.
The only way to test fairly the quail
tiles of silver is to place it On a free coin
age basis. No halfway measure will
do. So long as it is held TO be merely
a commodity the country cannot be Civ
en- relief from the financial evils that
now beset it. 1t is the only competent
aid that can be furnished. We have had
good times without a Mckinley law and
the present season of depression has eX-
tended over so long a period as TO show
conclusyely the fallacy of looking to q
Dingley bill for help. The tariff is q
wrong diagnosis. 1t is time to change
doctors if the patient is ever TO get we'll

a PhIIOsODhic sweep,

Rolling out Of Piecadilly into Berkeley
street came one Of those splendid old family
carriages, gorgeous with golden lions and
dragons, heavily hung with maroon trap
pings, guarded by tWO maroon fOotmen in
the rear, driven by a buTly maroon coach
man in a curly wig, containing two visions
IN white with lovely bouquets At that
moment a sweep and his friend were emerg-
ing into Piccadiliy, with blackened faces and
brushes, having evidently just. transacted
some affair Of business, when this splendid
vehicle attracted their attention, Says one;
''Bill, I wish we was them!" "Why?D an

Something Cheap.

As she stood upon the top stoop and
kissed him good-by before he went out to
battle with the cold, cold world he thought
that she had never looked so Winsome, even
in their old counting days.
"And now my bad boy must have as many
siaps as years he has lived, for to-day is his
birthday" she went on, beginning the
Christening salutations.
"Why, so it is" he said, with that mo-
mentaTy sensation of years passing helpless
ly away which middle-aged men experience
upon these occasions.
"And what lovely thing shall his darling
wife get, him for birthday present this
year" she went on. "You already have a
smoking cabinet and card table, and my
dining-room lamp, you know, was one Of
my birthday presents to you. And then"

There Is a Noner Power.

It was the habit OF the gold standard
newspapers during the last presidential
campaign to sneer CONTEMPORARY at
the use of the term money power" by
the advocates of silver. Yet now we
find the Springfield Republican saying:
eThe Jewish banker buys and sells ma
tons, as he has for a long time, and
every Christian nation is now his own.
We're it not for this, even Russia could
not keep the peace. Capt. Mahan has
written of The Sea Power in History:
who will write of the money power in
history" Confession is good for the
soul, but It is probable that the Spring
field Republican, with its faraway look
abroad, forgot ali about silver and the
money power at hand--Los Angeles

There were trees bending over that enehant
