When Has Country Money Enough.

""e" AA"s country Money Enough:
When general prices are substantial.
ly stable there is money enough and
not too much. All the money which
circulates and all the property for sale
are reciprocally the supply and demand
for each other. When the volume OF
money increases faster than business,
general prices rise; and when the vol
ume Of money decreases general prices
fall. General prices furnish the gauge
or measure of the quantity of money
required for legitimate business. The
value of each dollar, or unit OF money
depends upon the number of dollars or
units. Money measures the value of all
property by volume, while yard stick
measures by length. There must he
more than one. point to measure dis
tance, and there must be more than one
object to create value. Value is esti.
nation of the relative utility of differ
ent objects. The value of a dollar "a
what it will buy, and what il will,
buy is the value Of a dollar, Parity
between different kinds of money will
take care of itself, and is too trifling
for consideration. The only parity re-
CURED by monetary science, and by JUS
tice and fair dealing, is parity between
money and property. The preservation
OF parity between money and property,
that justice may be done, is the end
and aim Of all monetary science.

The Rabbits Leg.

Those who insist that the silver
question is not as much importance
as are some other questions and want
to let go Of it for that reason should
think about what happened the rabbit
hunter. He reached into a hollow lop
and caught the rabbit by the foot and
could have pulled him out, but he said
the leg was of such small consequence
il he could not catch 1t by the middle
of the body at one full swoop the
blamed thing might stay there even II
his family had to starve for the want
Of it. Consequently he did not get the
rabbit. Had he pulled on tho lee the
balance would have followed and the
babies would not have gone hungry.
The silver question may be only hind
leg but 1t Is the most available hand
hold and those who let go Of It at this
stage Of the game are helping to take
bread from their children's mouths.

NEWS OF MOVEMENT.

Considerable interest has been
aroused throughout the country among
people of all parties by the fact that
since the Populist treasurer took
charge Jan. !, Nebraska state warrants
nave risen in value from 95 to 90
cents on the dollar, Notwithstanding
the publication of the fact that the
outgoing Republican treasurer was
Short over half million dollars.
The first city election held in Du-
luth, Mimi, since Mckinley's over
whelming victory there last fall re-
suited in very nearly Popnlist clean
sweep. Evidently plutocracy, though
lntrenched'in power is in greater dam
ger than ever before.
Jesse R. Grant, the youngest son OF
the greatest general, is to be the Pop

on the Dlngley tariff Gill. This course
was IN pursuance Of the policy out
llned in the Populist manifesto re-
Gently issued. and was also in accord
ance with an agreement which was
reached by the silver Republicans.
The Minnesota federation of labor
charges Labor Commissioner Powers
with non enforcement of the factory
act' publishing Republican gold
campaign document at the states ex-
pense, not publishing labor statistics,
garbllng mortgage statistics for gold
ouggery, employing Office force on
private work, taking vacations and en-
eag1ng in private enterprises on the
states time. When the Minnesota
federation Of labor unites with the
farmers OF the state in opposing the
election Of governors who are disposed
70 appoint such labor commissioners,
there will be a change.
The New York World thus confesses
that at least one excellent measure
mas been passed by the Populist legis-
lature Of Nebraska:
Candidate Bryan's home state Of
Nebraska is largely Populistic in every
department of its government, but in
passing the bill prohibiting corpora
uons from making contributions to the
campaign fund Of any political party
1t has rendered service to the cause
OF political morality which might we'll
be followed by states with a better
political record. A corporation which
is wholly the creature of law has no
natural right to do anything that is
not specified in the law by which it is
created. And we believe that no cor
poration has ever avowed that the
contributing to campaign funds was
among the purposes for which it was
established. 1t has no moral right to
make such a contribution, because it is
not moral being. AS a corporation
it can have no interest in politics ex-
cept a mercenary one. IT the Ne
braska law should be adopted in every
state and enforced in every campaign,
a great many of the difficulties would
disappear"

Coxey's Army Not So had.

Many Of the American people were
deeply disgusted over the invasion OF
Coxey's army. There is now in
Washington a more disgraceful and a
more dangerous army than that Of
Gen. Coxey. When the philosopher Of
the future comes to treat of the condi-
tions and affairs of this time he will
probably find in the Commonweal
movement upon the capital merely
result of the habitual invasions that
the spoilsmen of the nation have In
vited their voters and campaign help
ers to make every four years for more
than half century. He will find the
demands of Coxey's army more reason
able and less audacious than the de-

gathered in Washington to receive pay

campaign services and even for their

Tie Politics in the Case.


1t appears that partisan politics as
well as plutoeratic intolerance have
had share in the disruption of Brown
University.
Joseph H. Walker. a member of the
Board of Trustees of Brown, is a Re
publican politician and a member of
Congress. He is chairman of the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency and was prominent figure in
the indianapolis monetary conference,
which advocated the single gold stand
ard. In the sharp divergence of pub
lie opinion on the currency question,
every extension of President Andrews
views is positive injury to the politi-
cal prospects of Trustee and Congress
man Walker.
Therefore when we find Walker the
most irreconcilable of all the Brown
trustees, when we find him Boosting
that he personally started the attack
on Andrews, when we learn that he
compares Andrews quiet approval Of
the national free coinage of silver
with the public preaching, during
the late civil war, of the right of a
State to secede," we are compelled to
regard his attack on the President of
Brown University as one made for po-
litical purposes only.
The protesting members of the Brown
faculty neatly fixed upon the Board of
Trustees the Odium of having been
guided in this matter by partisan con-
siderations when they said: at is even
conceded that in the general case col
lege professors may with prOpriety
give public utterance to their political
opinions. Your honorable body have
affirmed in the most striking manner
the propriety of their doing so by
granting a number of the faculty leave
of absence during seven weeks of the
last Autumn that he might make Re-
publican political speeches in the
West"
For President of Brown University,
then. to express Democratic views,
chiefly privately. is to invite dismissal.
For Professor to desire to uphold the
Republican contention on the same
subject is to secure a seven weeks va
cation. And the trustee who led the
attack on President Andrews happens
to be Republican representative in
Congress!-N. T. Journal.
