Grain Letter

Chcago, Oct. 25.-Cables from Liver pool were a distinct disappointment to the wheat bulls" today, who anticipated at least show of strength in response to the advance here on Saturday. How ever, the foreign market was weak and showed as an opening 1sd decline and in consequence the local market opened walk at 94@94h, against Saturday s close of 95, and immediately declined to 9S% @93B, covering by the short element then caused reaction to 94ss, but subse- quent cables showed a. further loss of I'd, and renewed selling began, to which prices yielded to the extent of 11a cents. The worlds shipments were 9056,000 bushels, somewhat less than last week, and an increase of 800, 900 bushals was reported on passage. Both northwest and Chicago receipts were large, and a Nbreak came to the rescue and Decem- b:r wheat slowly recovered to 94as, touch- ing 94k@945s after short halt. Good buying advanced the price to 95, but a great rush to take profits resulted as usual, prices yielding to the realizing sales and by one o'clock 933sc had been reached. In the last fifteen minutes the market was dull, and the close was at 991s asked. H. H. SMITH & co.

New York, Oct. 25-Evening Posts London financial cablsgram says:
 The stock markets were duI to flat to- day. Americans were specially weak, monetary conditions. the nsarness of the settlement and the Cuban question being given as reasons for the weakness, but there is no doubt of the fact that num- ber of options will fall due at the end of the month induced dealers to keep down prices.
 It is not likely that the Bank of Eng lands discount rate will advance. this week. but the German rate may possibly go up. The average contango on Ameri- cans on the settlement tomorrow will probably be AZ.

A New Earth,

Rev. Myron Reed, of Denver. in a re-
cent sermon on the text from Revela-
ton, And l saw a new heaven and a
new earth,' starts off after the follow
ing fashion: -.o .
All the prophets and poets have seen
the same thing.
Isaiah looked forward to an utter
change in the face of the earth and of
the hearts of the people of the earth.
Robert Burns saw new earth and SO
did Alfred Tennyson when he was
young.
Plato looked away from the decayine
world around him and saw Atlantis. ~
Sir Thomas Moore, about to suffer
death, was writing Utopia"
There ought to be a new earth and
what ought to be will be-
No one will assert that this is the
ideal social system-this one that we
are living in. Isaiah would not be sat-
isfied with it. 1t is makeshift.
We have sent money and sympathy "a
Ireland, and. that was right and effec-
tive. But in 1895 there were more than
$4,000 evictions in New York city. That
means more than 100000 people turned
out of doors.
That is to say, in one American city
the evictiOns, as compared with Ire
land, were more than four to one.-Ne-

establish the cooperative commonwealth
and the state government will be in
harmony with it. The laborless thous-
ands of the country will be invited to
the state and given equal opportunities
with all others to develop it's resources
and enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" There are several west.
ern states in any one of which all the
unemployed of the country could, under
sane conditions, not only provide for
themselves but attain a type of civiliza-
ton compared with which the present
would appear like cannibalism.
From one state the new life will rap
idly overleap boundary lines and perme-
ate others, and thus the tide will sweep
in all directions until the old, barbaric
system has been destroyed and the re-
public is redeemed and disenthralled
and is, in fact, the land of a free and

What Would He Do.

Suppose Christ should come again,
what then?
Would he squeeze the water out of
all the stocks and bonds in the country
and again drown the world?
Would He miraculously change that
water into wine, so that in the banquet
ing halls of plutocrats, Chauncey NJ De-
pew could shine like a full moon and
bray like thousand asses in one great
ass?
Would He, with infinite mercy and
power, change the water of the Sound
and the Atlantic into disinfecting and
deodorizing fluid, and send them with
Hell-gate force through the city of New
York to purify the slums and sweat
shops?
Would He, with infinite appreciation
OF the right thing and the right time,
take possession of all the whips re-
quired to scourge the thieves, gamblers,
boodlers of Wall street and similar dens
until all heaven rejoiced to hear them
howl?
Would He take the plutocratic rob-
bers OF the poor by the throat and choke
them until they gave up the swag and
promised to steal no more?
Would He? Well what's the use Of
His coming again to do in the line Of
reform what men may do for them
selves if they were courageous enough
to put in operation the power conferred
by their sovereignty? When men want
Christ to do for them what they can do
for themselves they may pray:
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the judgment book
unfold
and it will not be done.-Railway

AN OBJECT LESSON
No Toll for the Privilege of Ex-
changing.
LABOR'S PRODUCTS TRADE WITH
LABOR PRODUCTS.
Our Present Monetary System Is Onlv
a Payment of Tolls to Useless
1dlers That Should BE
Abolished.
(Schilling's AdyanCe)

Very few people realize the magnif1.
cent object lesson rendered by the labor
exchange idea. For the benefit of those
who have not studied the system. let
1t be explained again.
All who have products of labor can
deposit them in the central warehouse
and will receive checks representing the
value OF the goods. With these checks
they can buy any goods that may be in
the warehouse deposited by others.
deposits hrooms, B coats, C shoes,
and D, who is a farmer may deposit
potatoes, butter and eggs. With the
check he receives, he buys "a coat,
brOOms and shoes.
by this system the actual price with
only cost Of handling added is paid for
the goods. No banker can draw inter-
est on the labor check-it will never
buy more than the amount of it's face
at the labor exchange warehouse, and
1t is always worth it's face value.
The fluctuating price Of gold or silver
can never affect the labor exchange
check-it is always unit of unchane-
ing value, representing what it says on
It's face. 1t cannot be inflated" be-
cause it is only issued for actual mar
ket value in products deposited and it
can never be cornered because it is al
ways issued when produce IS offered.
The products of labor may change in
market value, the check cannot change.
And yet it is printed on paper, is un-
changeable, unfluctuating and cannot
be inflated or contracted
Why don't we have all the money of
the country in the form OF labor
checks?

Exemption of Homes,

The law proposed in Minnesota last
winter for exempting the home from
taxation was a proposition to amend
the state constitution. At present there
is constitutional provision exempting
from taxation two hundred dollars of
personal property, and the measure in
troduced by Hon. Ignatius Donnelly was
to amend this, by adding to it one
thousand dollars of exemption of real
estate from taxation, where the same
is owned and occupied as a homestead
The idea is spreading rapidly, hot
only in Minnesota, but elsewhere that
| confiscation of the home by methods Of
taxation should not be permitted.
Every state has it's laws which pro
tect the home to some extent from eex.
ecution for debt and the attacks Of cred-
ltors on ordinary contract, and it is not
inconsistent to ask why the state should
transfer to a capitalist the humble
home of a cisizen on a lien imposed by
the state, and in the making of which

Experience has proven that the hum.
BILE citizens of our country are not the
tax-dodgers. ~
They submit with scarce word Of
complaint, to the various plans and
methods of taxation direct and indirect
,, They have proven themselves obedi-
ent beasts of burden and have voted on
themselves untold millions Of taxation
which through indirect methods have
gone to build up fortunes that are shirk-
ing and successfully avoiding a Just
proportion of the burdens of govern
ment.
1t IS we'll known fact that the prop
erty OF great corporations is listed for
taxation at mere fraction of it's actual
value -"t
Attorneys are employed who give the
matter attention and by methods unex-
planned to the public secure returns that
are in no just or equitable proportion,
while at the same time the small hold.
lngs OF the people are listed at rate far
in excess y
Minnesota is not the only state where
an exemption is allowed on personal
property to the head of family, and
the movement made there to extend this
exemption SO as to include the home,
to an extent of $1,000, should be carried
into every other state. ,'4e3. r 8
The laws exempting a home from ex-
ecution for debt should be amended
to the effect that tax lien be consid-
cred debt and that the home be ex-
empt from sale on debt imposed by
the state as we'll as for a debt contract

Discuss this measure and make it a
subject of study. Homes free from
tax is the solution of one vexed prob
lem e' at

power on earth should have the right
to confiscate a home.-Chicago Express.
