Cuba's Discouraging Experiment.

! Cuba is furnishing a nearby example
of the beauties of government regula-
ton of the value of money on the Bryan
plan. Capt. Gen. Wcyler had a deficient
supply OF cash, and 50 he had the Banco
EspaGol put out = lot OF paper money
and issued a stringent Cdict that every
body should take it AT a par with gold.
As the island is practically under mar
tial law, there was government con-
troll of the currency at its best If you
didn't take the banE bills at paI. you
were liable to be shot. Even Bryan

Sedaliia CAPITAL: The most redi Gu
lous application of the civil service
rules that a man could conceive of.
is its application to the engineering
department of the government. Tie
civil service commissioners hold that
the law applies 20 common laborers
doing government work on rivers and
in harbors. to cooks on government
tugs and steamboats, aud walters on
tables and to Iaundresses. The re-
suit Is that The engineers in charge OF
work report the law a very great
hinderance to work, as these employ
es are changing nor or less every
day. As one engineer says. hn" can
any one know whether d pretended
cook can cook or not until he OF she
has been tried. The idea OF a civil
service board standing I'VE a cook
while he or she is cooking Il meal to
see whether he or she is qualified for
employment under the civil service
Law is superlatively ridiculous. Con-
grcss should at once wipe out such "a
nuisance. 1t cannot be done too
quick,

INGERSoLL ON N
The Colonel States Some Plain Truths In
His Own Unique Way.

~ " SNaNNo SShS III AAo1A1 -
His Own Unique Way.
Following is an extract from the
speech of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll at
Chicago on October S:
Money that is money needs no guar
antee, needs no hacker; it is always
good. No matter how many nations go
down to dust, good money remains for
yer the same. We have a man running
for the presidency on three platforms,
with two vice presidents, that says
money is a creature of law. If the
government can make money by law,
why should the government collect
taxes? According to Mr.. Bryan, our
fathers were the friends of silver, and
yet our dear old fathers in all their
lives minted only 100000 of these sa-
cred dollars. Now, see what the enc
mics of silver have done. Since 1873
the enemies of silver have coined over
430, OOO, 900 of these dollars, and yet
silver kept going down. We are coin
ing now over $4,000 900 a month, and
silver keeps going down.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, in 1873,
voted for the law of 1873 He said.
from his speech in the senate, that God
had made gold the standard. He said
that gold was the mother of civiliza-
ton. Whether he has heard from God
since or not / do not know. But now he
is on the ether side. Senator Stewart, OF
Nevada, was there at the time, but voted
for the act of 1873, and said that gold
was the only standard. He has changed
his mind. No government can afford to
be a clipper on coins. q.
A great republic cannot afford to
stamp n lie on silver or gold or paper.
Honest money for an honest people, is
sued by an honest nation. You cannot
make n paper dollar without taking a,
dollars worth of paper. We must have
paper that represents money. 1wantit
issued by the government, and I want
behind every one of these paper dollars
either a dollar in gold or q silver:
dollar worth 100 cents, sc that every
greenback under the flag can lift up its
hands and swear: 81 know that my re-
deemer liveth." That was where 1 was
20 years ago, and that is where l am to-
night.
For nations and individuals, at all
times, everywhere and forever, honesty
is the best policy. Better be an honest
bankrupt than rich thief. Poverty can
hold in it's hand the jewel honor-a
jewel that outshines all other gems. A
thousand times letter be poor and noble
than rich and fraudulent. Nobody can
be helped by free coinage except the few
people who could pay their debts if they
were willing. Some say that it would
help the mine owncrs. 1t would not
Coming this bullion into dollars would
not increase its value, because you could
coin the bullion CT the whole world and
the supply would BE greater than the
demand. Have free coinage tomorrow,
and there is not a silver mine owner
that would make a doliar-rot one-by
changing it into American coin. 1t
would be worth only what the bullion
is worth in the open market.
We want good money-good, honest
money. And there was never any real
prosperity for 4 nation or an individual
without honesty, without integrity, and
t is our duty to preserve the reputation
If the great republic.
