TnE COURTS RESPONSIBLE.

A year ago at Talbottom, Georgia,
a man named Ryder murdered a
young woman named Owen. There
was great indignation in the
community at the time, but the
people decided to allow the law to
take it's course. For year the case
hung fire. The other day Ryder
was brought into court, presumably
for trial, but when the case was
called the Judge announced that he
had decided to again postpone it
this time until the September term.
When this announcement was made
the crowd in the Courtroom seized
the prisoner, and taking him out
side, hanged him to the limb ola tree.
The moral in this, as in all cases
of the kind, is, that the people want
to see Justice done and that they
are losing faith in the Courts. There
is no reason on earth why man
charged with crime should not be
brought to trial within few months
after the crime with which he is
charged is committed. The crimi-
nal Courts are an expensive piece
of machinery, and they have been
established for the purpose of bring
ing criminals to justice. In this
they are simply the proxy of the
people. When the people come to
feel that criminal will receive a
speedy, a fair and impartial trial,
there will be no repetitions OF this
Georgia case; but when the people
feel that there is to be endless de-
lay, that the Courts are acting as
the protectors of the criminal, and
not as the ministers of Justice, then
cases of this kind will continue to
occur and nothing can stop them

DOLLARS to paw debts must

DOLLARS to pay debts must be
made easier to get. The farmers
are opposed to the gold standard
because they have felt its effect.
Since they sell ut wholesale and
buy at retail they have lost more
than they have gained by falling
prices, and, besides this, they have
found that certain fixed charges
have not fallen at all. Taxes have
not been perceptibly decreased, al
though it requires more of farm
products now than formerly to Sc
cure the money with which to pay
taxes. Debts have not fallen. The
farmer who owed $1,000 is still COM
PEELED to pay $1,000, although it
may be twice as difficult as for
merly to obtain the dollars with
which to pay the debt. Railroad
rates have not been reduced to keep
pace with fallen prices, and besides
these items there are many more.
The farmer has thus found it more
and more difficult to live. Has he
not just complaint against the gold
standard?
The wage-earners have been in
jured by a gold standard, and have
expressed themselves upon the sub
ject with great emphasis. In Feb
ruarv, 1895, petition asking for
the immediate res toration of the
free and unlimited coinage Of gold
and silver at Is to | was signed by
the representatives of all, or nearly
all, the leading labor organizations
and presented to Congress. Wage
earners know that when a gold
standard raises the purchasing
power of the dollar, it also makes
it more difficult to obtain possession
of the dollar; they know that en-
ployment is less permanent, loss of
work more probable, and reemploy-
ment less certain. "A gold stand
ard encourages the boarding of
money, because money is rising; it
also discourages enterprises and
paralyzes industry. On the other
hand, the restoration of bimetal-
lism will discourage boarding, be-
cause, when prices are steady or
rising, money cannot afford to lie
idle in the bank vaults. The farm

ers and wage-earners together con-
stitute a considerable majority OF
the people of the country. Why
should their interests be ignored
in considering financial legislation?
A monetary system which is pecun-
iarily advantageous to few syndi-
Gates has far less to commend it
than a system which would give
hope and encouragement to those
who create the nations wealth.

WHEN prosperity returns to the
usurers and spectators the Repub-
lican press says: Damned be the
robbed and impoverished producers
who dare intimate that the country
is not prosperous. And they are
right-from a Republican stand
point. In goldbug and high-tariff
circles only millionaires and fitz-
noodles are counted. They lump
the working hordes in with the
beasts of the field, the fowls of the
air and the fishes of the sea, who
ought to be thankful that they are
even allowed to exist.

A WRITER in the London Post
speaking Of the "best Americans" "
says they only hear of a few, who
are the ones seeking matrimonial
alliances with the British aristoc-
racy. Don't you believe it. Those
kind of people are not the best in
America. They are the worst
Americans. A true American does
not seek to trade his daughter to a
scrofulous Duke, who in all prob
ability gained his title by his moth
er's dishonor.
