easier than to make wheat 81 a
bushel by law, that is to make 4I2H
grains of silver a dollar by law.
There is absolutely no difference
between the two propositions. Both
are commodities, subject to the law
of supply and demand, as stated by
Mr.. Bryan. Wheat Is worth 9oc a
bushel. 41215 grains of silver are
worth 40 cents. If legislation can
create value, it can create wheat
value as easily as silver value. If
the populists really want to benefit
large number of people they should
favor law advancing the value of
the product of the millions of farm
ers, and not that of the few hundred
silver mine owners.
AND if the government can make
forty cents worth of silver a dollar,
why not thirty cents worth, ten
cents worth, or nickles worth of
iron, or a piece ofpaper2 Why not
get plenty? Why only seek to
add to the wealth of the mine own
ers and not to that of the people.
But, some objector will say, a sill
yer dollar now is worth dollar and
yet it has only 40 cents worth of
bullion value. Certainly. The
government has officially and re-
peatedly announced that it would
keep every dollar of its money as
good as every other dollar and that
the parity between the silver dollar
and the gold dollar would be main
tanned. That means that the gov
eminent will redeem the silver dol
lar with gold, and SO long as it does
this the silver dollar is a promise to
pay, just as the greenback and the
national bank note. A free coin
age dollar would not be a promise
% pay, would have to take care of
tself and would Immediately 60 the
way of the Mexican dollar. If any
me can suggest way to keep the
rec coinage dollar at a par with
old, he can get millions for his
discovery by putting President Diaz
INTO the combination. Mexican
liver dollars are stamped by the
overnment, are legal tender, and
ct they are not worth cent above
heir bullion value.
We believe many very honest peo-
lie are deceived by the idea that
acre is something about money
hich comes from legislation.
Iany of them will never understand
le difference. But whenever the
,heme is tried, as it has been in
early every nation, it is found that
gislation doesn't make value.
nd it never will.

BY Legislation,

II We believe says the Hutchison
News, that the real strength in the
theory of free coinage of silver comes
from a belief that legislation can
make value. tits the old fiat money
idea that if the government stamps
On a piece of paper "this is a dol
lar" and makes it legal tender for
debts, it will pass as a dollar.
Driven to the corner the advocate
of free silver will say, just as the
fiat money populist of 1890 said, if
the government stamps zone dollar"
on 41aK grains of silver it will be a
dollar, and that rs his final argu-
ment,
The fallacy of this proposition is
absolute, but it is hard sometimes
to make people see it, especially
those who do not want to. 1t is
easy to convince man that if the
government should enact law that
wheat would hereafter be 81 Per
bushel that the law would be inefec-
tive. But there is glittering pausi-
bility to the theory that the govern
.ment,can do something which is no

Business is increasing rapidly,
but not faster than the amount of
money in circulation. At the be-
ginning Of September the per capita
circulation-that is, the proportion
of money in the country outside of
the treasury-was Sa2.76 while it
was $22.8o at the beginning of
October, an increafe of 13c for each
man, woman and child In the coun-
try during the month, basing the
expansion in population on the
treasury tables of increase. The
country will have all the money it
needles now that it has given up the
silver folly for good. Every coun-
try which avoids financial errors
always has all the money which

Much speculation is engaged in
by all political parties as to what
might be the result of the calling to-
gether of the Legislature in extra
session. We wonder if enough of
the reformers have had change of
heart to make it possible for them
to pass their much talkedof maxi
mum freight bill. Our members of
the legislature from here, voted
against the bill last winter, but are
instructed for it now; if they obey |
instructions, that means two addit
ional votes. We have heard of

OLNEYVILLE.
The City Charter Defeated by
Narrow Margin.
A Bull Fight In lanyard Lane Other
Nws Mes.

The Johnston Town Council met at 10
o'clock this forenoon to couLt the ballots
cast yesterday on the city charter ques
tion, but this count was quite unnecessary
so far as making known the result was
concerned for it was a we'll known fact at
an early hour last evening that the ratifi
cation Of the charter had been defeated.
The margin the opponents OF the charter
won out ON was very narrow one, but it
was margin, and IL did the trick all
right The total vote cast was 1865.
The vote by districts was as follows:
Olneyville district yes, 1858; mo, !"
254; Merino district, yes" l57; "no. I"
:01; Manton district yes, 70; mo,
l30; Hughesdale, yes, l06; no, " az.
Total, yes. 4" 800; no." 610-a una jurity of
70 for the opposition.
The farmers cannot be held responsible
for the defeat of the charter. although 1t is
we'll known that hey did whaGthey could
in that direction, for the figures in the
Olneyville district, where only theoretical
cultivators OF the soil dwell-the vote
lacked only one of being tie showed
conclusively that q large nun her of those
who it was supposed would be- especially
benefited by the adoption of city form
of governments, were not In favor of tho
scheme and TO this end OF tho town must
be attributed the defeat of the measure.

TO fear the cartilage in which the ring
