railroad companies must adopt such APP

and in view of the utter collapse and the
insufflciency Of revenue to maintain the

VERY MUCH AT SEA,

1t is thought the "advance agent" is
about as much at sea as other people
when it comes to prosperity. As the
"advance agent" himself said few years
ago that there could be no prosperity to
the country unless the farmers were
prosperous, all of which has been the
opinion of other wise men, the
question arises why should farms
and farmers be loaded with public debt
and be victimized by the gamblers in
values and money!
Some people imagine that a public
debt is public blessing. This is the
old story doctrine-the Alexander
Hamilton doctrine. Paper money banks
are on this principle for bank paper is
only an evidence of debt, hence the
more bank paper in circulation the more
are the people in debt. Government
paper is on different basis in putting it
in circulation. The government is pay
ing its debt, not loahing it as banks do.
Why should any good citizen then pre-
fer bank paper to government paper
money?
The paper money circulation is now
question of some prominence since the
leaders of the party in power are deter
mined to retire the greenbacks, and hand
the whole paper money circulation of
the country over to the national banks.
Mr. Jefferson and other great lights of
the country we're steadfast in the opinion
that paper money banks were entirely
unconstitutional.
A strong point in support of their
position is the fact that bank paper
money is not legal tender in payment
of debts, and clnnot be since the constitu-
ton provides otherwise. This point is
now worthy of special consideration
owing to the recent failure of so many
banking institutions. A vote of the
American people on the subject would
be overwhelmingly in favor of the
government doing this business entirely
and supply all paper money circulation.
The misfortune seems to be the people
do not rule in this country in these
matters.

1t seems that Mr.. McMillen, uf Tenn
essee, member of the committee on ways
and means, is the man who cross ex-
amines those claiming robber McKin-
ley tariff arrangement. A day or two
ago those in the hosiery business had a
chance. A frank witness represented
the American Hosiery company and said
the so per cent duty now imposed did
not give his corporation the profit it
would like to have. The present only
brings revenue to the treasury. "What
is wanted Ly the people / represent is
not revenue but prohibition. They
want to keep foreign goods, which come
in competition with theirs, out of the
the United States altogether" A Phila.
delphia knitting mill made the same
claim. Hosiery is one of the prime
necessities of life, and these tariff sharks
want a monopoly of the entire business
so that they can fix the prices to suit
themselves, regardless of the rights and
sufferings of an oppressed people.

BIMETALLIsM.


To the many clubs organized through
out the country for economic study this
winter, suggestion by way of warning
may not be misplaced. Owing to the
pre- minence of the money question in
the late campaign, the study promoted
by these clubs is likely to center around
that subject, and in that connection
stress may be laid upon the idea Of coin.
age versus non coinage of silver. But
silver coinage merely is not the real
question which was raised in the cam
paign, nor is 1t the core of the so-called
silver question. Free coinage of silver is
only the means to an end. The end Is
bimetallism, and the so.called silver man
is a bimetalist. He holds that both gold
and silver are Foundation" or "pri-
mary" money, and that the needed
monetary reform is to secure to both
metals coinage rights.
Bimetallism contemplates an equili.
brium Of the purchasing power of both
gold and silver, so that when the two are
taken together as money there will be
less tendency to rise or fall in the value
of either than if they we're separated in
respect to their money uses. The phrase
equilibrium Of purchasing power" might
proftably be adopted IN colloquial dis
cussion, because it expresses the central
idea of bimetallism.
For an understanding of the bimetal
lie side of this controversy, Prof. Walk
er's recent work on international bime-
tallism will be serviceable. The subject
is certainly i'll enough understood. 1t is
no unusual experience to hear both men
and women assert with great assurance
that we already have bimetallism in the
United States. Indeed the notion has
taken possession Of people who ought to
know better, that there may be bimetal-
lism with a single standard, notion
that resembles nothing so much as the
notion of pair of shears with single
blade. Such dense ignorance can be
cleared away only by clear thinking and
honest study, and the economic clubs
that have set about doing their share of
this have taken up worthy task
Cleveland Recorder.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-01-07

The spokesman of the Cleveland ad
ministration, the oracle of finance came
out in another letter in which speaking
of the business outlook, he said that
"money will be willingly invested when
ever it appears that the American peo-
pie are ready to devote themselves
strictly to their own business affairs and
cease undertaking to keep up foreign
and domestic turmoil and strife. In
vestments must be made to bring about
business activity, and during an agita-
ton which may lead to serious foreign
conaiction, they will not be made" So
the American people must submit to be
the willing slaves and tools of capital
and greed. They must stop sympathiz-
ing with people struggling to free them
selves from despotism, worse than that
endured by the American colonies. Our
politics must be dictated by those at
home and abroad, whose interests are to
be cared for only. This Comptroller
ECkels is the creature of capital and no
doubt represents the spirit of the Cleve.
land administration. He evidently has
little sympathy with the mass of the
people and seems to be somewhat given
to the philosophy that mankind are
mostly fools.

The sugar interest was before the ways
and means committee on Wednesday at
Washington. They prefer a specific
duty instead of the add valoren rate of
the Wilson tariff, The duty now imposed
on sugar is about 40 per cent and YVES
thought to be equivalent to a cent a
pound. At a cent pound, however,
the revenue would aggregate $40,0O0,O0
year, but last year itwas only $50, ,0O0. 600
and this year will fall below that amount
as claimed. The fight on the sugar will
be as to the rate on refined sugars, as
here the interests of the sugar trust
come in. The American people use
about four thousand million pounds a
year.

tariff man as the head of the coming
administration, is said to have been
definitely decided upon for secretary of
the treasury. Dingley is chairman of
the ways and means committee and is
now trying to bring about prospt rity by
increasing taxation. He rides the
Majors hobby with equestrianship that
would do credit to the President elect
himself and is the proper party for the
place. The President can't run the
taxes up any too high to suit Dingley.

The balance of trade during the past

According to the secretary of the treas
urers report, our exports for the first
eleven months of the year exceeded in
value the imports by $3ll 900, 900, being
the largest balance since 1878. This
gain, remember, was under the Wilson
tariff and speaks for itself. No year un.

it. Where the necessity of retiring to

Down in Bethlehem township some OF
the Mckinley men have not ceased
shouting and do not appear to know
that the election is over. Eli Shelter, a
substantial citizen and good neighbor,
still has his house adorned with McKin-
ley flags, bunting, yellow ribbon and TUT
fruit, surmounted by a magnificent
golden calf. He still is telling his neigh
bors what direiul things will happen if
Mr.. Bryan is elected, and every time he
hears of a failure he says its "agitation
that's doing it" and that "what this
country wants is confidence" He
doesn't appear to realize that the pros
perity we are having is Of the Mckinley
stripe. The products of his farm keep
going down and it isn't worth while to
run farm any longer Mr.. Shelter
ought to come to town and buy plow,
then interview the employees of the plow
works. He would get lesson in reci-
procity different from the lessons he
learns by reading Republican literature
exclusively. He would discover that if
the men got better wages, they could
buy more of his farm products, and if
they we're more in demand by men who
buy them they would sell at living
prices and he and other farmers could
buy more plows, which would increase
the demand for plows and the manu-
facturer would get better prices and
could afford to pay better wages, which
in turn would come right back to Mr..
Shelter and his neighbors. The basis of
prosperity is good prices for the produ'
Ger. 1t is dangerous to build house on
a sinking foundation. Mr.. Shelter
would better tear down his banners and
give some attention to this newer and
safer reciprocity plan. Gold bug cam
paign decorations may are being dyed
