Friday.


The evening paper stated that the hear
ing of the proceedings in regard TO the
injunction restraining the city from pay
ing money for the gunboat appropria-
tions had taken place last Saturday
afternoon. before Judge PAUL. The state
ment was a mistake. as Judge Paul has
been sick and the hearing was deferred
until yesterday afternoon. Judge Paul
still being unwell, the matter was brought
up in Judge Hervey's Court. Solicitor
Boyce. for the city. did not appear 10
answer for the city's side Of the case. and
had to be sent for. When he appeared he
asked Judge Hervey for another con-
tiIuance on the plea that his time had
been taken up with politics and that he
had no time to prepare an answer to the
prayer of the plaintiff. The Court agreed
TO defer the case for the last time until
next Friday morning The City Solicitor
was notified that if he was not ready at
that time that the injunction would be
Immediately granted. Solicitor Boyce re-
piled that his successor would probably
be chosen before that time, but that he
would assist In the case.

What Of the icuture:

Minneapolis Tribune: A Min
neapolis business man has sub
mitted to the Tribune copies of
two letters received from one of
his correspondents in Chicago,
which contain some interesting
suggestions upon the business
situation and outlook. The first
letter IS dated on January Z, last
After referring to the bank fail
ures which we're Just then agitat-
ing this and other communities,
he said: "We have had a singu-
lar experience here. However,
it seems to have fairly blown
over. The banks are taking no
chances but are providing for
every emergency. All this is not
necessarily discoura G ing for
there is vast amount Of un-
soundness that may as we'll be
eliminated first as last. Every
thing Of value will be left.
although to some extent it may
change hands. Until we get down
to hard pan OH a gold basis we
cannot feel entirely secure, and
then with a reasonable revision
of the tariff to provide a suffi-
cient income for current expenses
of the government, and the or
ganlzatlon Of g more permanent
financial system, we can ali go
ahead with some confidence.
There are SO many new meth
DDS Of production in all depart
nents, manufacturing, agricul-
ture and transportation, that |
think we may have to abandon
some of our old theories and adapt
IioNlNCo " SolAC iICW I'll IL III lIIC
manner Of conducting business,
but above all | am we'll persuaded
that the great mass of people
must go back to more economical
modes of living. l am sure that
i'll the department of family and
personal economies, expenses can
be reduced nearly one-llalf with
little detrinent to health, com
comfort and happiness"
The correspondent is also con-
viliced that there must be a more
rigid limit to the credit system.
He does not condemn the credit
system wholly, but. regards it as
'tthe devils invention and the
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1897-04-08

origin of most of the sins Of the
world" it is for the most part
living ahead, or III anticipation
of earnings. He thinks it will
be a happy era of the world
when the credit system shall be
entirely done away with and
everybody limits his expenses to
what he can pay for in spot cash.
The second letter is dated
March Is, ard deals mainly with
! a forecast of the future. The
correspondent says it is not
strange that business men are
both nervous and anxious, but
there is nothing peculiar to Min
neapolis in that respect. 1t is
exactly the same all over the west.
IN all cities, large and small, not
excepting Chicago. But we are
all calmly confident" he adds,
that little time will put a very
different phase upon matters.
There is everything to encourage,
but everybody is pausing to see
what action congress takes on the
tariff question as we'll as the
financial. We certainly have
nothing to fear on either of these
questions, although it will take a
little time to bring about the
needed changes. 1t is of good
omen that manufactures in all
parts of the country are starting
UP their plants, putting their
operatives at work, necessitat1ng
at once disbursements Of money
for wages and materials.
In conclusion the correspondent
says he has been for 66 years con-
stantly on the business stage and
has been through four terrible
pan1cs and depresssions before
this one, 'yet we haye always re-
covered, and we are upon the eve
OF a new recovery"
This hopeful feeling for the
future voiced by this venerable
business man is shared by the
most Intelligent observers of pas
sing events. They believe that
this county is upon the eve of a
new recovery. What he says
about the necessity Of more
economical scale of living will be
generally appreciated. AS for
the credit system, it is so thor
loughly ingrained in modern bust
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1897-04-08

ness life that it will not be dis
pensed with for many years, if
ever. Butt it is certain that it will
be greatly modified aud restrict
ed. The elimination of credit
would call for a larger volume Of
money. All transaction could
not be made for 'spot cash" with
out an ampler circulating medi-
un, and the difficulties of provid-
ing that upon a sound basis are
manifold. However, the prob
lem may be solved in time.

Does modern college education edu-
cate, in the broadest and most liberal
sense of the term is one OF the most
important Inquiries that could be set

Others of the most distinguished men
in both the United States and Europe,
is begun in the April Cosmopolitan by
a radical inquiry into the educational
problem along the lines OF Herbert
Spencer. President Gilman will follow
IN direction almost equally search
ing. Altogether there is promised the
frankest possible expression of opinion,
and it seems probable that it will be
the most thorough comparison ever
made of educational methods with the
needs of everyday, life. at the close of
the nineteenth century.

Free silver Craze Dytng

After spending three weeks in Mis-
souri,. Texas and Kansas, | can say
that free silverism Is dying out in its
southwestern stronghold. The people
now talk about the craze disrassionate-
ly and with reason. The verdict is that
it!lWas the ghost Of the greenbacll
craze which set the farmers wild in
1856. When | asked o. d. Austin, of
the Bates County Record, what had
caused the stampede, he said:
The farmers were deceived. They
thought free coinage would be d con
tinuation of the old coinage acts, when
the government bought silver at its
market price, coined $625, 100000 worth
of 1t. and guaranteed every dollar as
good as gold'
And what haye they found out
since?' | asked
They have found out that the mine
owners don't want that. They want it
fixed SO that the NINE owners can make
the profit on coined silver and not the
government They find the mine own
ers wish to take their 5o-cent silver to
the mint as they take gold to the mint,
have it coined and handed back to them
worth a dollar like the $625, 100000
which have been coined. The farmers
have found out that this would enrich
the mine owner at the expense of the
people, and give the farmer no better
money than he had before. The farm
ers have at last found out that they are
not in it. While the mine owner, with
free coinage, would treble his wealth.
The farmer kept saying when Cleve-
land was buying gold to pay the eX-
penses of the government, Why don t
he pay silver for gold?' 1t has now
| daWned upon the farmer that the gov
eIhment bought gold for something
worth less than coined silver. 1t
bonght gold for paper. The govern
ment gave a paper note. If it had
bought gold With coined silver, it
would have paid fifty cents worth of
silver and fifty cents worth of gaur-
antee by the government 1t has
| daWned on the farmer that the 620, ,000,-
600 silver dollars coined by the govern
ment, and which the farmers are using,
have not been demonetIzed at ALL The
peoples money is all right. but the sill
yer in the ground was demonetiZed,
and they say: That don't hurt us far
mers. we don't own any OF ii. and that
won't hurt the mine owner either, if he
will let it alone.
Then, continued Mr.. Austin, when
Bryan kept saying in all his speeches
that gold had appreciated, that it had
gone up and our gold dollar was worth
POO cents, the farmer said: What are
we selling our wheat and cotton for:
| Why, we are selling Our products
for this double-priced gold, where a
| dollar is worth 200 cents. We are
getting twice as much value for
our corn and pork as we will get
if we have free coinage and drop
the price Of gold. They now see that
| Bryan was lying to them. Bryan said
the gold bug bankers are cornering
gold and now the farmers see the banks
full Of gold, and it is as free all over
lexas and Missouri as silver or paper"
Then the free silver craze has peter
ed out z"
| Yes, gone. 1t Will never be a cam
paign issue again. Intelligent farmers
are ashamed OF it, Eli Perkins, in
