day last week. She fell in front of a
disc harrow. trailing behind a wagon.

escaped uninjured. Her escape seems
wonderful as the discs are only few

We notice that w. B. Robinson
begs space in last weeks Independent
and also WORLD to admit that he is

fail to find his name or any reference
to him in any of then. WORLD has
never charged Mr.. II. with being a
populist or anything else. With all
due respect for him and his opinions
we couldn't be guilty of it. Every

CAGES FINANCIAL MEASURE.
VIII More Thoroughly Commit the
Country to the Gold standard.

WIN More Thoroughly Commit the
Country to the Gold standard.
Washington, Dec. 17.-Secretary Gage
appeared yesterday before the commit
tee on banking and currency of the
house Of representatives to present a
bill embodying his views for a revision
Of the currency, to explain and urge
its provisions, and to meet any objec-
tions raised by the committee. The
measure was subsequently presented
in the house The secretary said the
objects he had in mind in the provisions
offered We're:
First-To commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard: re-
move, so far as possible, doubts and
fears on that point, and thus strengthen
the credit of the United States both at
home and abroad.
Second-To strengthen the treasury
in relation to its demand liabilities, in
which are included greenbacks, treas
ury notes, and the incidental obligation
to maintain on a parity, through inter
changeability with gold, so far as may
be necessary, the present large volume
of silver certificates and silver dollars.
Third-To do this in such a way as
not to contract the volume of circula-
ton in the hands Of the people.
Fourth-To take an initial step to-
wards a system Of bank note issues
without the conditional deposit of pub
lie bonds as security therefor. If we
prosper as a people, the revenue Of the
government ought to be somewhat in
advance of its expenditures, and the
public debt of the United States grad
ually reduced and finally extinguished.
