evidences and mercies of God. This latter
KIND has been the past year in our loved
commonwealth of Missouri. Golden and
abundant harvest fields, business activity
and reasonable prosperity, exemption
from devastating storm and stalking
pestllence, social peace and happiness,
political Ireed dom and advantage are the
shades OF light forming a beautiful rain
bow that ills our hearts with thankful
ness and joy. The heart is surely deaf to
music and blind to beauty that cannot
take these mercies of the past year and
weave them into an angels song of grate-
ful praise. LON V. STEPHENS.

in the last campaign that you did not

silver, and offer to coin it, free, into
deeds, and decree that these deeds
shall command all the property in
sight To print paper deeds that must
be redeemed in these metal deeds only
removes the difficulty step, as anyone
can plainly see. The question is, why
make metal deeds at all? Paper deeds
do as well and better, when not issued
where there is no property, and the
metals in the metal deeds, 1.-The money

where they belong, there to serve man
according to their nature, as designed
by the Creator.

titles? Do you see the absurdity of is1

it would be title. labor exchange
checks are good kind of paper money.
The producer brings his product, and
receives checks Cor it. These checks
represent either this particular pro-
duct, or an equal amount of value in
any other product; the checks are titles
to just that much wealth, in any form
that the possessor of the checks may
choose. The checks are not issued un,
til the productive wealth-is created
and brought to the exchange. What
do you think these checks (titles) are
made Of? Gold? No Silver? No.

Pregnant Questions.

You have never heard of there being
n scarcity Of postage stamps, have you?
You have never heard of postage
depreciating in value, have you?
You have never heard of postage
stamps bding at premium, have you?
You have never heard of postage
stamps going to Europe, have you?
You have never hsard of postage
stamps being boarded, have you?
You have never heard of the govern.
ment having to issue bonds to buy
postage stamps, have you?
You have never stopped to think
WHY these things are not so, have you?
Well, do so right now for about five
minutes. Living Issues.
And while you are doing your think.
ing ask yourselves these questions;
Did you ever hear anybody object
that the postage stamp ought to have
intrinsic value, and be made of gold?
Did you ever hear anybody argue
that it was all wrong for the govern
ment TO issue the postage stamps di-
rectly to the people? That they ought
to create bonds and sell them to bank
ers, and let the bankers issue the post
age stamps and make profit of them?
The sales of postage stamps amount
ia about S75, 100000 annually Where
are the bonds for that amount? Is it
nor horrible to think of the government
taking in SIS, 100000 year for stamps
and paying it out again without a sim
gle banker making penny off it? Why
the world will come to an end if this
thing continues. Such simple primative
methods, of taking in money with one
hand and paying it out with the other,
are enough to wreck any nation. There
can be no permanent government nm
less banker is hid under it, milking a
COW.
Away with the postage stamps.
They are a dreadful "object lesson, "
and enough to set the stupidest people
in the world to thinking. The Repre-
sentative.

A LIttle Nor Non. CommIttaI.

A gold organ remarks somewhat du
biously that leach time Secretary
Gage speaks about the currency, he
seems to be little more non-commi.-
tai and indefinite in his remarks"
This is true, and it is natural it
should be true. Mr.. Gage is compelled
to take his cue from those above him,
just as Mr. Mckinley is compelled to
take it from the syndicate which plac-
ed Hanna at the head of the republi-
can committee.
A case in point is the presidents re.
cent currency message to congress-a
most remarkable case in point Those
who will take the trouble to refer to
the message and read it carefully can
not but be struck with its inconsequent
and indifferent tone, as we'll as with
the line of argument. Our currency,
says the president, in effect, is good the
world over. No one doubts its sound
ness. Therefore a currency commission
should be appointed to prepare plan
to reform it,
Here you have it. Your horse is
fine one, as good as anybody's horse.
Therefore shave his name and tail, or
swap him for one you know nothing
about No wonder Mr. Gage talks like

question is discussed. The man who

McKinley's reasons for reforming the
currency is to be pitied. Atlanta Con-

congress to empower him to name a

The message of the early Socialists
was true message. The universal
trust is coming. BY abuse, persecution
and Imprisonment, the powers of gov
ernment backed by the conservative
propertied class have sought to dis
credit the warning of the Socialists.
But with irresistible enegry, and in ex-
act fulfillment of Socialist predictions,
mighty combinations have been afrec-
ted TO control, within an ever-contrac-
ted circle, the enrths bounties and the
peoples opportunities and means Of
utilizing them. Following immediat-
ely upon the public announcement that
j. Pierpont Morgan has gained control
of 95, 600 miles of trunk lines and the
street railway systems of seven prin-
cipal cities in the country, comes the
news that the Standard Oil trust has
obtained complete control of the lead,
leather, tobacco and whisky interests,
also the prospect of a combination of
gas interests. The universal trust is
moving as rapidly to a consummation
as the most optimistic Socialist could
desire. The Standard magnates al
ready had control of the business of the
country in oil, iron ore and sugar; they
are after the steel and coffee industries;
they own much of the shipping of the
lakes and most of the great tourists
hotels in Florida; they are directly in.
tcrested in several railroads and prac-
tieally dictate freight rates to the en-
tire transportation system of the
country. The various Standard inter
ests are yielding profits Of about $50
100000 annually and for their agents
are constantly looking to find new in
vestments. They can gobble two or
three ordinary able-bodied trusts every
year, and recent transactions show
that they are improving their oppor.
tunities. Meanwhile the average Amer.
lean patriot is sitting around saying
"The laws of our daddies are good
enough for mel" and "What would we
do without the capitalists" Provided
tine men who today manipulate the
railroads and the Standard interests
hang together for ten years, and keep
up the process of absorbing wealth tc
the velocity it has recently attained, the
country will be face to face with an is

civilization: Shall we now advance t.;

Food for Thought.

Detroit, Aug. 0--At the the session
Of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science held here to-day,
"Improvident Civilization" was the
subject of an address by Prof Richard
7. Colburn, chairman of the section of
social and economic science. Prof. Col
burn thought the controversy in respect
to a bimettalic money standard and
the other as to the limits Of safety for
representative, or currency money, are
certain to be fully worked over by the
powerful vested interests concerned in
reports of commissions and printed
volumes.
His explanation was that these ques-
tions are but parts of fur greater
question of meterology Prof. Colburn
added:
when we speak of value, equivalent
cy, wealth, risk, trust, distrust, panic,
prosperity we are dealing not with con-
crete substances not with gold peices,
but with stages of mind; yet those ideas
lie at the foundation of commercial ex-
changes and monetary science.
IF we would get creditor money or
the valuable substance that stands be-
hind money, we must own less and
have a greater store of the articles the
world needs. Whether the present es-
timation of gold as the measure Of ex-
change values is excessive, or irration-
al, it is fact to be reckoned with. 1t
follows that the surplus should be con-
centrated in commodities, portable, ex-
portable, and not too fragile or perish
able in their composition, not subject
to caprice of fashion nor of restricted
demand, and of these the precious
metals and stones have by universal
consent best filed the requirements.
Our present civilization is lop-sided, it's
contour is not symmetrical; it is not
abreast of the knowledge of the time
and is not yielding to mankind nearly
the amount of comfort and we'll being
it might be made to do.
From a great number of socia
events, defects and shortcomings, due
chiefly to this overlapping Of the child
hood of the world upon its adult stages,

require many centuries to correct
themselves in order to raise the in

within the compass of human endeavor
to accelerate better state, not merely
to crafty and altruistic impulse nor
fulfllment of ethical ideas, but as a
deliberate choice OF divergent policies"

Now for the Doctors question: Why
not make enough money in twenty
four hours TO pay off our national in
debtedness and to give million dol
lars to every man. woman and child(D?
Money being a title to wealth, and
there not being that much wealth in
the country, the issuing and distribut-
ing Ct titles to that which does not ex-
ist would be an absurdity. Try print
