Judge presiding.


II any costs were improperly charged,
Mr.. Worth has had more than a year
in which to show them, and has had two
opportunities in the Superior court in
which to have any illegal items stricken
out.
Treasurer Worth's daily action is suff-
cient answer to the contention that
| there is no money in the Treasury with
which to pay these claims. Hardly a
day passes that he does not pay contin-
gent expenses of the State government,
in the same category with these claims,
and he has paid tie costs of the Supreme
court, in this case, every time it has
been before that court. Besides he has
offered the holders of these claims to
compromise and settle them by paying
them about thirty cent in the dollar In
cash, in full satifaction, which of course,
| he could not do if there were no law au-
| thOriZing the payment of the claims,
or funds out of which they could be paid.
AS matter of fact, Treasurer Worth has
set aside thirty thousand dollars for con-
tingent expenses, and is paying out of
this the daily current contingent expenses
of the State.
The Legislature has expressly declared
that the State shall be liable for costs
In cases like these, and while not allow
ing the officers to collect their fees In ad-
vance, has provided, II the State loses
a case brought by authority of law, the
officers shall be paid their costs by the
State, as other claims against the State
are paid. It IL absurd for Treasurer
Worth to contend that the Solicitors,
who instituted these suits, did It for
the purpose Of making fees against the
State, for the Act does not provide any

the United States an opportunity to

$500, 600, 600. What has the gold party
given them?

example Under the workings OF bi-
metallism. dollar wheat was the rule,
but since the demonetiz alton OF silver
fifty-cent wheat has prevailed. For
fifteen years the farmers have been
robbed annually OF 5000, 900, 900. This
is what the gold party has done for
the farmers 80 far as wheat alone is
concerned
IL is not at all reasonable to suppose
that those who have titled the soil for
the last fifteen years, only to find
themselves robbed aud almost ruined
by the clique OF gold will be fooled
and csjoled by the hypocritical cant OF
Republican newspapers over the rise

II is good thing FOR the farmers
that the price Of wheat has gone up;
they can reap what benefit the specu-
lators in grain have left them, and
they can reflect on what they have
lost through the demonetization OF
silver, and they can ponder on the fact
that this loss is permanent and will
continue so long as the advocates OF
gold control the currency.
