Ronahold.r,. war.

The struggle now going on between
Cuba and Spain and between Greece
and Turkey is more than the ordinary
war between different nations and
countries 1t is war of bondholders
against liberty and the masses. The
masses of the people of Europe sympa-
thize with the Christians and liberty
loving people of Crete and Greece in
their brave and heroic contest against
the cruelties and oppression of the
Turks, but the rulers and the powers
that govern these other countries are
not on the side of the people or of lib
erty and Christianity. The powers that
govern England, France, Austria, Rus
STA and Italy own about nine thousand
millions of Turkish bonds. They think
more of these bonds and the interest
that they regularly draw on them than
they do of humanity, life or liberty.
Therefore, the allied powers of Europe
look on with complasency, while the
Turks with superior numbers crush
the heroic Greeks. If it were necessa-
ry these bondholders would send aid
to the Turks. This is the secret of why
Europe allowed the Turks to massacre
the Christian Armenians.
1t is the same bondholders, whose
God is gold, who are backing Spain in
their cruelties and oppression of Cuba.
Cuba is rich and fertile, and Spain
must continue to hold Cuba and lay
heavy and grievous taxes upon that
island in order to raise sufficient reve-
nue. to pay the bondholders their inter
est. These same bondholders had
enough influence with Cleveland, and
we fear will have enough with McKin-
ley to prevent this government from
raising its hands or voice in the inter
est of the people who are outraged and
oppressed worse than our forefathers
were in 1776, 1t is crying and burn
ing shame; and the blood thus split is
the darkest stain that could be placed
upon the closing pages of the nlre-
teenth century.-The Caucasian.

for il would be impossible to coin coal
dollar or wheat dollar. The dollar
must be paper dollar las most dollars
in actual use are,) and the value Of
this dollar should be determined from
time to time, say monthly, quarterly,
annually, or whatever occasion might
arise, by Government commission on
the basis of the multiple standard
above mentioned. In this way all in
dustrious producers Of our leading and
necessary products would be protected
against any abnormal fall in prices,
for any such fall would Immediately be-
met by new average; and purchasers
would be protected against any abb
normal rise in prices, for any such rise
would Immediately be met by new
average.
1t is easy to see that under regime
like this any doctor who has an indus
trious clientele would also have pros
porous clientele. Then we would not
receive letters from doctors saying that
their people are industrious and pro-
duce bountifully, but the prices are so
ow that they can scarcely get money
enough even to pay their taxes. Slim.
ulated by just monetary system as
above indicated, there would be no
reason for the present widespread idle
ness, want and misery. A normal dol
lar will bring normal rewards to IN
dustry. The gold standard dollar Is
an abnormal dollar; hence our abnor-
NAL conditions. A dollar based on
gold and silver would be nearer nor.
NAL than the gold standard dollar, but
it would still be abnormal. The mul.
tiple standard dollar would be a nor,
NAL dollar, and it would give us nor
NAL conditions
The normal dollar, based on the
multiple standard, is engaging some
of the most advanced students of eco
Monies. What is said above is merely
suggestive. The details are yet to be
worked out. There can be no doubt
that the real solution of the money
question lies in this direction. 20. f.. T.

II you want to know why times are

patch below, particularly the last two
or three lines. This is official:
Washington, D. c., May 1.-The
monthly statement of the public debt
shows that at the close of business on
April 30 the debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to s99s. 944,132 a
decrease for the month Of S5,71S,O 6s,
which is principally accounted for by
a corresponding increase in the cash.
The debt proper, independent of the
cash in the treasury, was increased
during the month by s32G,s43, on &C
count of the deposit of national bank
notes in excess of redemptions The
debt is classified as follows: Interest
bearing debt, SS47, 365, O3O; debts on
which interest has ceased since matur-
ity, 81, 1853, $50; debt bearing no inter
est, S371645, 7S9; total 81, 996, 334 ,640

an equal amount Of cash it the treas

sified as follows: Gold, $3.50, 769, 1888;
silver, s5ls, 496, 100; paper, sl40, 39l-
s3s; bonds, disbursing officers balance.
etc, sls,O95,sls; total, ss76, 746, 1855;
against which there are outstanding

most infamous and oppressive corner
Is a money corner?

Farm Labor Governs.

VIII the men who dig in our mines,
who labor on our railways and wharfs,
in our factories and shops never real
ize that the price of all labor in Amer
lea is based upon the price of products
of the farm and hence upon the wages
of the farm laborer.
The isolation of farmers and farm
laborers makes a general combine upon
the part of either absolutely imposs-
ible hence the rise Or fall of farm wages
must ever depend upon the price of
farm products. Labor organizations
may delay but cannot prevent the
eventual adjustment of all wages upon
farm wages as basis No organization
however large and compact, can long
keep their wages up to two dollars a
day, while million farmer boys are
working for so cents and are willing to
take their places at one dollar day
The cheaper labor is bound to flow into
the channels where better prices are
paid until an equilibrium is establish
ed. Heretofore an extremely short
sighted selfishness has ruled in labor
organizations. The worker in shop
and factory has rejoiced in the fall in
price Of wheat and coal because he
could now buy more foUd and fuel for
a dollar The miner has rejoiced at
fall in price of food and clothing for
the same reason. win they never
learn that only those who receive good
prices can pay good prices, and will
they never learn that laborers in the
department II ceiving the least com
pensation will flock TO the department
of labor paying the highest wage, un-
til the supply exceeds the demand and
the wage is reduced to the common
level-Peoples Party Paper.

The Free Republic edited by J, A.
Parker, the chairman of the Peoples
Party State committee of Kentucky
says that Hon. w. J. Bryan in his re-
cent speech in that State took square
bold position for full legal tender
money. That is he holds that law
makes money and that every dollar
should be full legal tender, to be is
sued by the government and not by
banlxs-and that the quantity of legal
tender money should be increased with
the increase Of population and bust
ness. This has always been Mr..
Bryan's position. He has never favor
ed the scheme Of the bankers to have
one dollar redeemed in another dollar.
The coin redemption clause is the
greatest defect in the Chicago plat
form. The Democratic party must
break away from that heresy. Mr.
Bryan has also taken a very bold and
strong position on the transportation
and monopoly question. His recent
speech before the Supreme court shows
that he is a statesmen and a patriot.
He has taken the position that we
would expect jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln to take If they were living.

The worlds iLgratitude to labor is
the worst of it's wrongs. Its toilers ara
ever upon the verge Of outrage The
compensation it pays industry is misery
low wages, coarse raiment, squalid
habitation and mean sustenance-a
condition the nursery for crime. The
burdens of society rest heavily upor
labor, its greatest of bsnefactors anC
curses and lashes are the result Of it,
goodness Why should this be? ThG
compensation Of that which places a
palace above your head, feast upon
your table, a robe upon your back, and
furnishes you with every necessity OF
human effort, is treatee with contempt
and contumely. Labor should never
be satisfied or cOntented until it re-
elves its just reward.

Massachusotts' AWFUL threat.

Dr. william Shaw Bowen, Washing
ton correspondent for the New York
World, says: Senators Lodge and
Hoar, together with most of the other
New England senator's are alarmed
over the duty on raw hides, The story
comes from Massachusetts, by telegram
dozens and hundreds of them-that
Massachusetts will quit the republican
party unless she can have free hides.
Such men as Senators Mantle, Shoup
and Carter bristle like porcupines a.
the defiance from the Bay state"
Nothing than this better illustrates
the fallacy Of the protection theory.
Lodge and Hoar, both high projections
lists, favor protection as applied to
leather the thing their state has tc
sell, but they are rank free traders
when it comes to hides, the thing their
state must buy. Mantle, Shoup and
Carter are also protectionists, but they
want tariff on hides as we'll as leath-
er. Mantel, Shoup and Carter are of
those who argue that the foreigner
pays the tax and therefore they want
him to pay tax on hides If it be true
that the foreigner pays the tax, why
should we not obtain some tax from
the foreigner on the raw material used
by Massachusetts factories as well IS
upon the finished product sold by
Massachusetts, factories?
The threat that Massachusetts, will
quit the republican party unless she
can have free hides" is interesting,
coming as it does from such disting
uished protectionists as Lodge and
Hoar What a novelty for the g. o. p.
leaders in the old Bay state to threaten
to take Massachusetts out of the re-
publican party unless the benefits OF
free trade are granted to the raw ma
terial used by Massachusetts, factories!
And may we of the uututored west in
quire, if Massachusetts, is to go out OF
the republican party because the g, o.
p. will not give her free trade on the
articles which Massachusetts, buys,
why should Iowa remain in the repub-
lican party when the benefits of free
trade--so highly appreciated by Mass
achusetts protectionists-are withheld
from the things Iowa buys?
And in this connection may we nol
also ask, why not il the foreigner pays
the tax, abolish all internal taxes and
and obtain the expenses ofgovernment
from the foreigner? But it is hardly
fair to pin down the poor foreigner on
leather and permit him to escape en-
tirely on hides. w orld-Herald.

HARE HUNTING,
logs That Are Able Seconders Of the

3oEs That Are Able Seconders Of the
Chase.
This branch or sport has a host OF
earnest supporters throughout the
northern states and Canada and many
fine dogs are kept for the sole purpose
Of driving the white fellows, says a
contributor to Outing. Some hunters
use native foxhounds and crossbreeds,
such as are used to drive deer. Need
less to say the man who regularly
hunts deer and hares will keep certain
hounds for each kind OF work. Hounds
schooled to drive hares are a nuisance
on deer hunt, owing to their tend
ency to follow the lesser game when
the greater is wanted. Smart barriers
are excellent for hares, but perhaps
the best dogs for the purpose are good
sized beagles. These enterprising fel-
lows are unexcelled as trailers and
have fine voices, while they are just
large enough to have the necessary
speed. The very small beagles will
trail enthusiastically and make fine
music but they are comparatively slow,
Moreover, their short underpinning Is
not the best pattern for work in deep
snow, in which the cream of the hunt
ing is usually to be had. The very
small beagle is dear little dog, true,
game and interesting, but he shows
to best advantage on the trail Of the
"cottontail." " i5ts

JAPAN'S EARTHQUAKES.
Volcanic Urheavals In tbs Depths Of

Volcanic Urheavals In tha Depths Of
Ocean.
The northern coast of Hondo, the
largest of the Japanese islands, ex-
tends nearer than any other land to
the tremendous submarine hole in the
earths crust known as the Tuscarora
Deeps, says Scribner's. This is the
deepest part of the ocean so far as men
know; it is almost as deep as the top
most peak of the Himalayas is high.
Throughout its hundreds of miles OF
width and breadth there are subma-
rine volcanoes. The seismic philoso-
pliers think that through some vol
canic upheaval in these depths earth
quake vibrations were transmitted
along the ocean bottom to the shore,
and sudden rise of the waters level
sent the tidal wave on its errand Of
destruction. The earthquake shocks,
which travel at rate Of speed vary
ing from two to twenty miles Sec
ond, reached the shore first. They
were mild for quaky Japan and it was
not until $3.50 o'clock in the evening,
an hour and half later, that the
slower moving waves of water were
announced by portentous booming
sounds. Only four miles away from
the coast fishermen were unaware of
the presence of any extraordinary
wave. But when the on-moying vci-
ume of water reached the steep sides
Of the sea bottom and mounted up 20
the shallow places, the wave grew to a
height of twenty to fifty feet and
hurled itself into the inlcts and bays
Of the hapless land, overwhelming,
with contemptuous ease, the feeble
d!kes which the Japanese fishermen
and rice-planters had built to defend
their low-lying homes.
