TO RETIRE THE LEGAL TENDEE
MONEY.

The monetary commission, self ap-
pointed, is in session again at Wash
ington. The commission before its
recess sent out a circular letter to
'financiers and business men" asking
a number of questions, the purport of
which was how could the silver dollars
the silver certificates, the greenbacks
and the Sherman notes be retired from
circulation and what securities in
place of National bonds could be used
by the National banks to secure their
circulation. This circular tells the
whole story of what this so called
monetary commission proposes to do,
and is trying to accomplish. Its sole
object is to establish gold standard
and have all paper money issued by
National banks. Let us see what
this means as to money. There are
600 ZOO, 600 silver dollars either in the
Treasury, in circulation or represent
ed by silver certificates. All these
dollars are legal tender money. The
certificates are not but they can be ex-
changed at the Treasury for the dol
lars which are. There are $3.50, ,0O0,-
600 in greenbacks and $50, ,O0O,O 900 in
Sherman notes that are legal tender,
making a tolal of one billion, one ham
drrd million legal tender money, it is pre-
pared to destroy. For this there is to
be substituted as much non-legal ten
der bank notes as the banks choose to
issue and all the money with which a
man can pay his debts will be gold.
of which the treasurer estimates there
are $500, 100000 in the country. 500
of which is locked up in the bank
vaults This plan of the monetary
commission is the plan OF the secre-
tary of the treasurer, Gage, the Chica-
go banker appointed to that place by
President Mckinley, and it will be
pressed by him before congress. This
is the Barmecide feast to which the
people are invited by this administra-
tion. Such a policy inaugurated
would put all the property under the
control of the bankers. who could col
lect any premium they demanded for
gold with which to pay a debt. And
Pres. Mckinley pledged to internat-
ioaal bi-metallism in his letter of ac
ceptance, knowing that he can secure
it now will uphold this plan to destroy
not only what legal tender silver mon
ey we have but all the other lepal ten
der money but gold.

SIMPSON AND ANDREWS,

Jerry Simpson and Judge Andrews
spent Monday in our city looking ov-
or the political situation. "A meeting
had been called at Flohr's opera
house for p. m.
Judge Andrews made brief address
and explained that he was not mon
partisan" like his opponent, that he
was a populist, but that on the bench
he proposed to deal justly by all men,
regardless of their political faith Or
affiliations. He also dwelt at length
on the famous mortgage decision made
by him three years ago where he de-
cided that where property was sold
under mortgage and the party who
owned the property was not able to
bid it up to the mortgage, if the pur-
chaser bought it for a nominal price,
leaving a judgment against the owner
for the balance, the owner of the pro-
perty could come into court and it
they could prove that the property
was worth the mortgage, he would
not confirm the sale unless the pur-
chaser raised his bid according to the
testimony. The effect of this decision
has been that when mortgage compa-
nies foreclosed on property during
the recent hard years, they have bid
the full amount of the mortgage, and
this saved the people of his district
from having judgments hanging over
them that would have enabled the
mortgage companies to seize their
crops whenever there came good
year,
For this decision if for no other
reason Judge Andrews deserves the
hearty support of every voter in his
district, excepting, OF course the law
yers and the representatives OF the
mortgage companies.
Mr.. Simpson was introduced and
for nearly two hours expounded thu
populist faith, making one of the bes
speeches ever heard in this district
He dwelt almost entirely on Nationa
issues, but laid stress on the necessit.
of maintaining a solid front agalns
the common enemy of the cause w
have espoused.

Bank Commissioner John Breiden-
thai says that the prososed republi-
can national banking law is a more
vicious proposition than the demone-
tizing of silver. He says the history
of this country does not present a
more dangerous conspiracy to turn
the people of America over to the
money power, bound hand and foot,
than the one now arranged by the
republican leaders and which, he
thinks. will pass the lower house OF

column of abuse on the back of G.. G.

making them. This sort of cam

The editor of the Mercury must bank
on the ignorance of his readers, when
he accuses Judge Andrewssof robbing

enrich his stenographer. We are

'97 Up. 51), to confirm his statements.
Well in an idle moment we thought we
would see what he was talking about,
so we looked. We find that he has
referred us to an appropriation bill
which has nothing on earth to do with
fixing salaries. If anyone is interest
ed in running this sort of campaign
rot down, we will refer them to D. 2SS
Session Laws of '97, where, udner the
head of ''Fees and Salaries, it says:
"Court stenographers of the District
Court shall be allowed for their SER
vices a salary OF $3.50 per annum, pay
able from the state treasury in month
ly installments at the close of each
month" On page 290 we find that
the act goes into effect in January
1898. This means that there is nc
change in the salary of stenographer
until 1898. See!

The Woman's Temperance League
in Larned has passed a series of reso-

as they do not like his ideas on the
prohibition question. This comes in
very bad grace, when at the last term

jointist was convicted. The judge be-
lieves in inforcing the laws when they
get into his court, if he doesn't ap-
prove of the ohibitory law.

muzzled by the bankers who created

row money at as low rates of interest
as eastern merchants. That is one of

Judge Andrews has held court for
four years and in that time the news
papers in his district-without regard
to party-have had nothing but COM
mend att on for him as to the manner
in which he has conducted himself on
the bench and of the fairness he has
shown to all parties, as we'll as the
promptness with which he dispatched
business. But recently few of the
republican papers published some of
the most abusive articles that ever
came from the press, and one especial
ly which appeared in the Larned
Chronoscope. There is a well-found
ed impression in Larned that ex-Judge
Grinstead was sent for and on Tues
day, before the paper came out, was
at Larned and consulted in regard to
the article and gave it his sanction.
If such is the case, we are not greatly
surprised, although we did not think
Grinstead would get down to such low
business. There is no doubt but that
the article has made many votes for
Judge Andrews, especially in Pawnee.
where the ChrOnoscope editor and his
outfit are so we'll known. The repub-
lican editors should know by this
time that abuse never elected any
body to Office. They tried it on Jerry
Simpson and it proved boomerang

The Mercury undertakes to discuss
the mandamus case this week and of
course presents the same series of mis-
representations that were made in
court in order to justify the outrage.
The editor of the Mercury was the
leading attorney in that case, that is,
after Vandivert, and of course cannot
be expected to admit now that under a
cloak about as thick as mosquito
net, the office of clerk was illegally
appropriated to Adernold by the pow
er on the throne. The editor of the
Mercury, not satisfied with making
many misstatements, which we have not
time to take up, goes beyond this and
attacks the integrity of the commits
sioner's. He says: ''They proceeded
to draw off the tie, and of course Har-
per ,DOn." which of course means that
the commissioners fixed things SO that
Harper would win. The commissi on
ers at that time were II. G. Bingham,
JIG. Roenbaugh and Sam Andrews,
three men whose uprightness of char
acter and integrity have never been
questioned before. But here comes
Aderhold's attorney and boldly asserts
that these three men fixed this matter,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
present at the time, and he has waited
two years to accuse these men of be-
ing dishonest. for that is what it
to steal an election.
That certainly sounds we'll. Aderhold
had better tell his attorney to ring off,
Or at least Jump on to someone else.
