Adam Smith on Natural Talent.

The difference Of natural talent in
different men is, in reality, much less
than We are aware Of; and the very
different genius which appears to dis
tinguish men Of different professions,
when grown up to maturity, is not,
upon many occasions, so much the
cause as the effect of the division of
labor. The difference between the
most dissimilar characters-betweeu a
philosopher and common street por-
ter, for example-seems to arise not 30
much from nature as from habit, Gus.
tom and education. When they came
into the world, and for the first six
or eight years Of their existence. they
were perhaps very much alike, and
neither their parents nor playfellows
could perceive any remarkable differ
ence. About that age. or soon after
they came to be employed in different
occupations. The difference of talents
then began to be taken notice of. and
wider by degrees. till at last the van
ity Of the philosopher is willing to
acknowledge scarcely any resem.

Degenerate Republicans m.

The Republican party, as it exists
today, is the same party in purpose, in
the bulk of its membership, as was the
pa. ty that stood out in resistance to the
spread of slavery, that elected Abra-
ham Lincoln to be president, that took
the lead in preserving the union of the
states from destruction. The charge
has been only in its organization. It's
organization has brought the money
power to bear upon elections; it has
created boss-ships in the greater states
of the union; it has subjected the par
ty in those states to the rule of one
man, who has governed it in the spirit
of a despot, and has made it the in
strument for the corruption of public
morality.

THE UNION PACIFIC,
SYNDICATE DEALS HERE AND

Corporation Ownership of Central

Government.

Honduras has fallen a speedy VIC
tim to the bond system which Is more
deliberately but no less surely getting
lts grip on nearly every municipality
in the United States, as we'll as on the
nation. Late in the sixties that state
issued $25,OO0,000 of bonds, to borrow
itself out of debt, but speculators
grabbed them in such a manner that
only $1,OOO,OO0 was realized, leaving
the state hopelessly in debt, and hav-
ing first jumped from the frying-pan
into slow fire, she now jumps into
a quick one by turning over all the
custom-houses and banks to a syndi-
cate OF New York millionaires, who
Will bleed Honduras at every pore m
der pretense of discharging its debts,
and throw it away like a sucked
orange when nothing more can be got
out OF 1t, says the San Francisco Star.
This is all of a piece with the past
acquisition OF twenty-odd great rail-
roads and any number of small ones by
similar (or perhaps partly identicaD
combination, some or all of the mem
bers OF which are in the deal to snatch
the Union Pacific at a pretended "com-
petitive" auction.
The grabbing OF the Honduras Gus
tom-houses is based upon the same
principle as corporation railroad COM
binations-that of individuals and
companies usurping the legitimate
functions of government. Carried to
Its logical conclusion it would involve
contracting out the entire functions of
government to syndicates. The Hon
duras grab, though more fragrant in
appearance, is no more repugnant to
ever principle Of a popular govern
ment than is our present railroad and

Hlgh-Priced Labor tho Best.

Sioux City Tribune: The better paid
and more intelligent the labor the bet
ter the products of that labor and the
more easily they can compete in the
worlds markets. That is a business
fact which the American manufacturer
discovered long ago, and it would re-
suit in still higher wages and more
employment If all trade restrictions
were removed. High wages and cor
responding skill are economical and
free trade would simply emphasize the
truth.

Trust Abuses.

Byron W. Holt, of New York, in C.
recent speech before the Boston Re-
form Club, presented startling array
OF figures showing the enormous prof
its Of the sugar trust under the oper-
alton OF the legislation secured at
Washington In It's favor. He said that
the retail price Of granulated sugar,
which constitutes about nine-tenths OF
ali the sugar consumed in this coun-
try, is about 511s cents a pound, or IS
pounds for 81. When family invests
81 in sugar it pays out about
IS cents for sugar and As cents
for tariff. At present out of this As
cents the government is getting about
20 cents, the refners' monopoly 20
cents, and the sugar growers and
wholesale grocers the remaining five
cents. Next year, when the refined is
made from the raw sugar on which
the present duties have been paid, the
government will get about Is cents
and the refiners about Is cents. Of the
SIS which the average family will
spend for sugar this year $40 will 60
for sugar, $3.50 to the government, So
to the sugar trust and 50 cents to SUI.
gar growers and wholesale grocers. AS
our sugar account amounts to about
$2O0,O00,O00 a year, the sugar trust
will this year pocket about $50, ,000, 900
Of our sugar tax.
1t will be seen that the sugar trus.
is getting by far too large proportion
CT the sugar duty. Consumers, know
ing the revenue necessities Of the gov
ernment, would pay the duty with
equanimity if they knew that a proper
proportion of it was going into the ma
tional treasury. 1t was reported at
the time the tariff bill was pending
that the trust, was able to get about
what 1t wanted at the hands of con-
gress, and this appears to have proven
true. 1t accounts in great measure
for the rise of more than $50 per share
in the sugar trusts common stock.

An Unmitigated Lie.


Wendell Phillips, being asked
What can be better than good bank
bill with gold dollar behind it?'' re-
piled, "Oh, sir, that would be pretty
good money If it were not lie. But
the whole thing is false pretense-a
swindle. The gold dollar is never be-
hind a dollar bill, except just when
no one wants it. The moment it is
really needed it is not there, and can't
be there. Why? Simply because the
worlds trade, despite all the aids of
the most recent and improved bank
ing, properly requires, say ten times
as much currency as both gold and
silver furnish. The two metals com.
prise some six thousand millions each
---$12, 900 100000 twelve thousand mil
lions in alD. This is the total accumu-
lation Of the ages. But the world can't
do business, can't exchange its com
modities, without using more than a
hundred thousand millions of curren-
cy. So the gold and silver will not
go around. II one country has enough
some other Is drained and cornered.
Paper money was invented to over.
come this difficulty. But if there is
only one metallic dollar behind ten
dollars in bank bills, or five, or three,
why not recognize the fact and not
promise an impossibility, specie re-
demption on demand? The great lie
called specie basis has destroyed the
commercial prosperity OF the United
States once In about every seven years

j. r. McCulloch ns6al.

A fall in the value of the precious
metals, caused by the greater facility
of their production, or by the discoy-
cry of new sources of supply, depends
in no degree on the theories Of philoso-
piers or the decision of statesmen or
legislators, but is the result Of circum-
stances beyond human control; and
although like fall of rain after a
long course Of dry weather, it may be
prejudicial to certain classes, it is ben
eficial to an incomparably greater
number, including all who are engaged
in industrial pursuits, and is, speaking
generally, of great public or national
advantage.

QUESTION:.
Great Statesmen, Great Flnanciers, Great

All Agree on the Evils of an Appre.
ciating Currency.
James G. Blaine In 1879.

i believe the struggle now going on
IN this country and in other countries
tor single gold standard would, if
successful, produce widespread disaster
in the end throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver as
money and establishing gold as the sole
unit of value must have a ruinous ef-
feet on all forms of property except
those investments which yield a fixel
return in money. These would be en-
ormously enhanced in value, and would
gain a disproportionate and unfair ad-
vantage over other species of proper
ty.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-24
William Mckinley in 1890.

During all of his years at the head
OF the government he (Mr. Cleveland)
was dishonoring one of our precious
metals, one of our great products, dis
crediting the price of silver and en-
hancing the price of gold. He endeay-
ored, even before his Inauguration to
Office, to stop the coming of silver dol
lars, and afterwards and to the end of
his administration persistently used his
power to that end. He was determined
to contract the circulating medium and
demonetize one of the coins of COM
merce, limit the volume of money
among the people, make money scarce,
and therefore dear. He would have
Increased the value of money and di-
minished the value Of everything else
money the master, everything else
Its servant" Speech of 1S9O.)
The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-24

Il believe gold and silver to be the
money of,the constitution, indeed, the
money Of the American people anterior
to the constitution, which that great
organic law recognized as quite inde-
pendent Of its own existence. No DOW
er was conferred on congress to declare
that either metal should not be money.
Congress has, therefore, in my judg-
ment, no power to .demonetize silver
any more than to demonetize gold; no
power to demonetize either than to
demonetize both.
If silver has been demonetized I
am in favor of remonetizing it. If its
coinage has been prohibited, l am in
favor of ordering it to be resumed, II
1t has been restricted, am in favor Of
having it enlarged QS7S.)

From Hume'S Essay on Money

1t is certain that since the discov-
cry OF the mines in America industry
has increased in ali the nations of
Europe. We find that in ev-
cry kingdom into which money begins
to flow in greater abundance than for
merly, everything takes a new face;
labor and industry gain life; the mer-
chant becomes more enterprising; the
manufacturer more diligent and skill
full, and even the farmer follows his
plow with greater alacrity and atten-
ton. 1t is OF no matter of
consequence with regard to the domes-
tic happiness of state whether money
be in a greater or less quantity. The
good policy of the magistrate consists
only in keeping it, if possible, still in
creasing:; because by that means he
keeps alive spirit of industry in the
nation and increases the stock Of labor,
IN which consists all real power and
riches. A nation whose money de-
creases is actually at that time weak
er and more miserable than another
nation which possesses no more mon
ey, but is on the increasing hand.
The Louisiana populist., 1897-12-24
Alexander Hamilton,

Verv Plain Words.

At the session October 30, 1879 Of

away without disturbing the relation
of debtors and creditors, to the pref
udice Of debtors, to the extent Of per.
