Doing without Money.

From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
AS a sign of the times. the Labor Ex-
change is worthy of notice. The Labor
Exchange is protest against currency
contraction and the gold standard.
When money gets so scarce that the ex-
change of commodities is practically at
standstill, people will begin TO look
around them and see if they cannot ex
change commodities and labor without
the intervention of money. They will
try to solve the money question by doing
without money.
The Labor Exchange, which is a
system of stores that buys and sells
without money, exchanging products
for products, is rapidly spreading over
the country. 1t is strongest in Cali
fornia, where it has over thirty
branches. One of its houses, started
TO do wholesale business, has ex-
changed SlS. 900 worth of goods in the
mast eight months without the use of a
dollar in money. At this San Francisco
store NAV be seen cigars and socks from
branches of the Exchange at Reading.
Pa. brooms from Washington. shirts
from Ohio and fruit from San Diego.

Mining Boom In Hot Springs.

Special to the Post. Dispatch.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark. June 12.-The
outlook in gold and silver mining
promises good results in the near
future in both this (Garland) and
adjoining counties.
At Silver City, in Montgomery
county, the outlook for an early boom
was never so promising as at present.
Large bodies of high grade silver and
gold bearing ore have recently been I'M
covered, and large forces of men are
actively engaged in mining work.
At Cripple Hill, six miles east of this
city, active work is being done and rich
gold bearing quartz has been struck at
depth of seventy five feet, and the
owners of the mines there are highly
elated. On the strength of this several
sales of interests have recently been
effected at good prices.
North of the city one mile shaft is
being sunk with fiattering prospects,
Arrangements have! been perfected
for the erection Of mill at this mine,
and upon the whole the indications are
favorable for big mining boom in this
vicinity at an early day.
The Van Buren press. [volume] (Van Buren, Ark.) 1859-1914, 1897-06-19

The various branches exchange such
products as will probably be found in
demand at the several points they cover.
Checks are issued in payment for goods
received from members, and these
checks are receivable at the exchange
for anything there may be in stock.
OF course until the Labor Exchange
has railroads of its own it must use
money to pay for transportation between
its branches. 1t is beginning in small
way to solve that difficulty. Sub
scriptions in land. material and pro-
vender have been subscribed to build a
railway through the Willamette Valley,
rich farming region in Oregon. This,
if successful. will furnish valuable
object lesson in railroad building with
out wholesale robbery as necessary
incident.

Wall Streets Trap.
From the Post Dispatch.

From the Post Dispatch.
1t is the sourest of sour grass which
Wall street cannot make hay of.
After Wall street had succeeded in
defeating the demand for bimetallism
last year it had its trap we'll set to catch
the coon either coming or going. That
campaign, with its resulting victory for
the gold standard, left the bankers and
brokers and vast moneyed interests a
clear field to press their demand for
reconstruction of the currency system.
1t was we'll understood by them that the
establishment of the single gold
standard would make harder times. 1t
was we'll understood, too, that Nc
Kinley policy of tariff tinkering would
be the first tried to make times better.
If it should succeed, Wall street would
be in position to demand such changes
in the currency system as 1t might claim
were necessary to make the improved
conditions permanent. If it should
fail, Wall street would be in better
position to insist upon reconstruction
of the currency as vitality necessary to
restoration of prosperity.
But even before the Mckinley tariff
policy has been tried Wall street Is
demanding that currency tinkering, as
we'll as tariff tinkering, shall be taken
up. So called business circles in
New York are reported to be unanimous
in this demand. 1t is clear that under
the pressure of hard times, and the
demand of the country for improve
ment, the Mckinley administration is
to be stampeded into financial legislation
favorable to the money power, just as
the Cleveland administration, elected
on the issue of tariff reform, was
stampeded into the repeal of Sherman
law and discrimination against silver.
Can this policy succeed againf Can
a president and congress, elected to
maintain currency system, be driven,
by selfish interest, to displaee it with
one dictated by money greed and
monopolyp

Tesla's Triumph.

From the New York World.
When Morse found out the possibility
of sending messages from one place to
another by the electric telegraph his
invention was only the clumsy begin
ming of a system. He used two wires
to complete the circuit.
Presently somebody discovered that
only one wire was necessary, because
by grounding it at each end the
earth could be made to do the rest of
the work.
From that hour to this-from the time
when it was discovered that the earth
could be made to do half the work. it
has been the problem of electricians to
make the earth do all of it. 1t has been
certain that sooner or later we should
do our telegraping without wires.
Mr.. Tesla now announces that he has
accomplished this. He can send signals
for twenty miles without the use of
wires. ANY system that sends signals
can be made to send messages. And
when signalling for twenty miles is
possible. signalling for any conceivable
distance is thing not far off
This earth of ours is great magnet,
gigantic dynamo. We have only to
learn how to apply its practically
illimitable magnetic powers to our uses
in order to make the world kim in a
degree never dreamed of by the poet
who invented that phrase.

Hot Springs VIII Not Entertain the
Firemen in September.

Special to the Gazette.
Hot SPRINGS, June 14.-The state
fremen's tournament, to have been
held in this city in September, was
today declared off so far as Hot Springs
is concerned by the local fire depart
ment, and the citizens guarantee prize
fund of 81, 900 has been withdrawn.
The action of the local fire company is
due to the refusal of the officers of the
state association to allow it voice in
arranging the program claiming that
the same was so arranged as to give
other cities in the state an opportunity
to capture the bulk of the prizes. The
local fremen think that if Hot Springs
entertained the state association and
raised the prize fund, they should at
least have been given an equal chance
with other cities for the prizes of the
tournament.
