A EW SIMPLE LAWS.
Poverty and Misery Prevail When Cur

Poverty and Misery Prevail When Cur
Tsney Volume Is Diminished.
WI. Crawford, once secretary Of the
treasury, said; san intelligent writer's
on the currency agree that when it is
decreasing in amount poverty and mis-
cry prevail"
It is astonishing that the year 1896
should develop a school OF economists
who take different view. Their posi-
ton is as grOtesque as was the attitude
Of the late Parson Jasper, who asserted
to the last that #the sun DO move"
Scarcity, of course, restricts supply,
and great scarcity naturally stimulates
demand. This is as true when applied
to dollars as it is when applied to wheat
OF to corn. It is an undertaking law.
With general supply restricted and
universal demand stimulated, some of
course, must do without, and doing
without is the essence of poverty and
misery.
The refunding act, which greatly con-
traoted the currency, brought on the
panic of 1873. The process was as sim
pie as a b C. With no more money than
enough to carry on the business Of the
people, the amount in circulation was
curtailed, loans were cuFtailed, debts
could not be met and confusion (panicj
ensued.
Confidence was destroyed, of course.
and we undertake to say that it has
never been fully restored.
There have been spasmodic reviVals
of trade, but, generally speaking, what
We call "hard times" have been with us
ever since the first year of Grants Sec
Ond term.
That is to say, there has at no time
since the suspension Of payment on
Wall street in that eVentful summer
been a job for every man who wanted
it. We have seen a steady increase Of
the army of the unemployed; we have
seen our children driven into the fac
tories and QUE women taken from the
hearth to becon, hired servants of the
heartless: we have cen our independ
ent farmers of small means become de-
pendant tenants on large estates, and
worse than all, We have seen the cTeg
ton Of a parasite class that is a dis
grace to the republic.
QJohn Stuart Mill is an authority
and he says that the most elementary
proposition in the theory of currency
is this: An increase of the quantit!
Of money raises prices and diminu
ton lowers them.
Herein is found the secret of share
| times" Prices have fallen under thu
unalterable workings of this law. Low
prices leave the producers of sucI
commodities as come out of the sol
worse off at the end Of the season thai
at the beginning. He has no none!
and cannot purchase the output of thu
factories; hence they have "shut down.
| Poverty and misery prevail among
both artizans and agriculturists. TIL
one does not manufacture because TIT
other has not the wherewithal to buy

Efforts are making to sell to the gov.
eminent for $4,000 the farm Of 10
acres near HOdgenville, KY, on which
Abraham Lincoln was born. The pres
snt owner of the property is a New
York man, who bought it not many
years ago for 5000. The little one
room log cabin which for a time served
as Thomas LincOln's home, stands TO-
day practically as it was in 1909, but il
contains no furniture or other relics
dating anywhere near back to that
year.

True mama has been found on a
blue grass in Queensland. It appears
on the nodes of the stems in masses as
large as marbles. 1t is sweet, and near
ly three parts of it consist of mannite,
which, though sweet, is not a sugar. 1t
also contains a ferment which has the
power to decOmpose cane sugar with
out evolving carbonic acid OF any kind
of grass. The grass is not only indi-
genous in Australia, but it is found
also in tropical Asia and Africa.

NOTICE.

All delinquent foreign subscriptions to TIE
REPUBLIC have been placed with the Publishers
Collection Agency, of St. Paul, Mimi, for collec-
ton, and those owing same may govern them
selves accordingly.
The reason for collecting these accounts
through the agency, which for the time being
becomes our private agent, is that the prevail
ing hard times has forced the dismissal Of our
boOkkeepers, steuographers, printers and press
men, and the editor has been put upon half "a
tiOns and detailed to do the work of ali. Besides
thu agency can do the work for US cheaper than
We could do it ourself. The receipt Of a bill
is no disgrace; We get hundreds Of them every
year and know our honor and social standing is
HntaFnished thereby,
Bills can be settled through this Office or that
Of the agency. All errors cheerfully corrected.

GRAY HAIR STYLISH,
Young Women Now Seem to Admire tn
Silver Thr, ads,

Young Women Now Seem to Admire the
Silver Thr' ads.
"Silver threads among the gold" is
the latest fad among young women who
wish to appear intellectual and thought
full. Wig-makers will deny it, but the
fact remains that there is an alarming
prevalence Of girls with gray hair on
their temples. From time immemorial
it has been the habit Of the fair sex 10
weed the gray hairs carefully from
their heads. One swallow cannot make
a spring, but it is a weIl-known fact
that ten gray hairs will make ayear's
difference in a woman's age. This is
why in former times they pulled them
out so carefully.
Times have changed, however, and it
is the fashion just now to appear very
metaphysical and very philosophical
and with just a dash of the "Ologies"
thrown in. It certainly gives a young
woman an air of something above the
average giggling and gum chewing girl.
If you want to simulate the proper
thing, just go to the wigmaker's and
give him just a small wisp Of your hair,
with Instructions to match it in shade
Of gray in a small toupee affair. to be
worn after the fashion of false bangs.
Then train the gray hairs carefully
through your own locks, and there yOu
are.
