! that people have confidence in a ris-
ing market. and that the goods they
buy or produce will bring profit in
handling them.
+ There is an old saying, Money is
plenty and the times are good. The
converse of this is absolutely true,
! Money is scarce and times are bad. ~
A large lot of money locked up in a
vault does not make good times. All
the money owned by few people does
not make good times. When interest
is very low it is not an evidence that
money is plenty. strange as it may ap-
near to the people. Money is never
plenty and there are never good times
except when money is in circulation
passing from hand TO hand, from one
business TO another.
A contracting currency always pro-
duces hard times. it has never been
known to the contrary. A steadily in
creasing volume of sound currency has
always been the exponent OF good
times We are living under steadily
contracting currency. If the volume
of money is the same to-day as 1t was
zen wears ago. il is contracted cur
rency when compared by the increase
of nonulation and the demands for
money because Of such increase in pop
ulat.on. II. for illustration, ten years
ago there was 65.OOO,OOO people and
$500. eco. 900 in circulation, it would
give lust $50 a head TO each person.
Now at the present time there are 10
coo 600 people. and as the volume OF
currency remains the same it will leave
only $3.50 per head. Now everyone
knows that the volume of business IN
a great nation like this in ten years
ought TO increase very materially ana
that 4 larger volume of money IS need
ed 10 do a small business. therefore
IN meet the wants both of the people
and the business of the country there
should be a steady increase in the vol
ume of money. There is another feat
IRE. however. that is more vital than
all this. and that is the fact that the
decentralization of silver and the disuse
of it as a money of final redemption
are the main causes for the decline
in prices. not only in this country but
all over the world. To restore conf
dence in business and to bring back
what everybody knows is wanted, good
times. there should be N increase not
only in the volume of currency but
in the amount of money of final redemp-
ton. Does anyone know better way
to do that than to restore silver TO its
legitimate place by the side of gold?
Is not this a much better way than
10 let the hard times continue until
there is popular discomfort and ire
deemable paper money floods the coun-
try? Is it wise TO let the pendulum
swing too far the other way? Better
take the golden mean between the two
extremes of the gold standard and ire
deemable paper money demanded by
the Populists and restore silver where
it legitimately belongs as a primary
money. Then issue as many bills as
can be maintained on all the gold and
silver that now is or can be coined in
our country. That done good times
will surely come again.

STRANGE SUICIDE.
Street Contractor BENJAMIN Labs
Found Dead in His houSe,

Some time Saturday night or yester-
day Benjamin Labs, the well-known
street contractor. committed suicide at
the arteries of his left wrist with a
razor.
The act was evidently premediated
and Labs has chosen a time when his
wife and daughter were absent. He
had placed a foot-bath tub beside his
left wrist showed one deep cash which
had severed the arteries and left the
bone exposed. The injured member
had been carefully held over the bath
tub, and was in that position when the
body was found shortly before 9 o'clock
stood, the wife and daughter of the de-
ceased went to the house. The razor
with which he had accomplished his
purpose was tucked beneath the mat
tress of the bed.
Labs was we'll known in Sacramento,
having been a resident many years. He
was prominent as a street contractor.
While quiet and of a retiring DISPOSE
ton he was we'll liked by all who knew
him. No reason is known why the
act was committed. 1t is understood
that the finances of the deceased are
in a healthy condition and that his do
mestic life was a happy one.
The Coroner was notified Immediately

TOO MUCH MIST.
The Signal Corps Could Not Talk With
Mount DiablO Yesterday.

The Signal Corps of the Third Bri-
gade, N. G.. c., under command of
Lieutenant Martin, made an ascent OF
the south peak Of the Marysville Buttes
yesterday for the purpose of establish
ing photographic communication with a
corps on Mount Diablo, ninety miles
distant on an airline.
The day on the ButteS and through
the entire Sacramento Valley was all
that could be asked. The corps on the
Buttes could readily discern an out
line of Diablo, but the mist which
seemed to rise in the neighborhood OF
CarquineZ Straits initiated against
communication by this method.
The corps will make a second effort
two weeks hence. If successful this
will establish the worlds record for he
Geographic flashing, the best record
heretofore being about seventy-siX
miles. The militia interested in these
experiments seem to increase with each

Johnston said he woulG do so at the
earliest opportunity. He understood,
however, that the Attorney-Genera had
emphasized the statement that all
printing for his Office must be done at
the State Printing Office, and that If
the office were closed it would seriously
affect criminal cases to come before the
Supreme Court, as the law provides
that the brief blanks shall be fur
nished by the State Printing Office.
1t is hard to determine, Mr.. Johnston
said, what the effect on school text
books will result from the necessary
$4O,OOO being stricken from the revolv-
ing fund. He was inclined to believe,
however, that there were at present
enough books on hand to supply the
schools for a year, and that the funds
to be derived from the sale of said
books would be nearly sufficient, If jul
diciously used, to supply the demand
until the next session of the Legisla-
ture
While no doubt existed in his mind
that the public schools would suffer
from Withholding the fund.- Mr.. John
ston said that he could not even esti-
mate the extent of the injury.

THE INJURY FAR-REACHING.
State Printer JOhnSton'S Views on the
Governors Action.
He Sees No Way by Which State
Departments Can uet Print.
ing Done.

Much interest is being taken in the
condition of affairs that will result
from the action of the Governor in We
toing the appropriation for the support
of the State Printing Office, and In
striking out the 1000 from the re-
volving fund to be used in printing
school textbooks.
superintendent of State Printing A. j.
Johnston was seen by Record
Union reporter last evening, and while
inclined to be conservative in his state
ments concerning the matter he sub
mitted that it would have been better
for the Governor to have fought out
personal grievances in some other man
! ner than by striking at the State Print
ing Office, and incidentally other State
institutions.
Mr.. Johnston referred to the statute
which provides that all printing done
for the State must be performed in the
State Printing Office, and said he be-
lieved that the people in general under
stood the law on that point.
In speaking of the proposition ad-
vanced by the Governor-that each of
the several State departments might
create deficiencies to pay for printing
to be done in the office-Mr. Johnston
said that the plan was impracticable.
In the first place. he submitted that
under the provision of the statute the
superintendent of State Printing is not
allowed to handle any of the funds,
which he would be obliged to do were
| the Governors plan adopted; and fur
Their, that it would no more be possible
for the several State departments to
create deficiencies for printing than it
| would for the State Printing Office to
do SO, seeing that they had no appro-
priation for printing, and that under
the provisions of the statutes where
there is no appropriation there can be
no deficiency.
Mr.. Johnston further submitted that
were the printing for the departments
done in accordance with the plans pro-
posed by the Governor, the Legislature
two years hence would be called upon
to return the money, which would have
been borrowed in open market-the
only place where the necessary funds
for the work could be had.
Mr.. Johnston said that at present he
saw no course open except to close the
office when the funds on hand shall
have been exhausted. This is a step to
be regretted, as it would throw 80 per-
sons out Of employment at a time when
work was hard to find. He thought
sufficient money remained to run the
force necessary until July.
1t was difficult, Mr.. Johnston said, to
foresee just what effect the Gov
ernors action would have on the pub
lie schools throughout the State. The
statute provides that all blanks and
registers used shall be printed in the
State Printing Office, and as the same
| statute makes it obligatory on the
| schools to use the blanks and registers
referred to, the effect of the closing OF
| the office could only be surmised
| While he had as yet had no conference
| with Attorney Fitzgerald, Mr.
