ten times as much currency as both gold and
silver furnish The two metals comprise some
six thousand millions each-sI2 900, 900 900
Twelve thousand millions in alp. This is the
total accumulation of the ages But the world
can't do business, can't exchange its connodi-
ties, without using more than hundred thou
sand millions of currency.
So the gold and silver will not go around. If
one country has enough, some other is drained
and cornered. Paper money was invented to
overcome this difficulty But if there is only
one metallic dollar behind ten dollars in bank
bills, or FIVE, or three, why not recognize the
fact and not promise an qpossibility-speci
redemption on demand? The great lie called
Specie basis has destroyed the commercial
prosperity Of the United States once III about
every seven years since the nation started"
With this glaring monstrocity staring it in
the face the greatest political party in the
United States now proposes to retutn TO this
swindne system, to inaugurate il more forcbly
than it has yet been pressed, this lie, this no.
torously fraudulent scheme for the immodest
exploitation of honest industry; this rascally
scheme whereby the eXploiters may further op-
press the cxploited-an attempt to establish
confidence upon a standard OF value that has no
value except for the tenth part of itself. The
proposition to supply the world with gold cur
rency is as foundationless as the inqutous
"wildcat" scheme Of state banks. By the fg-
ures mentioned metallic money is wholly had
equate to conduct the business of the world, SO
it stands to reason that when country destroys
its paper money, nine-tenths of its citizens will
be deprived of their portion Of the circulating
medium; aud to expand this by the issuing of
specie money will give relief.

How Municipal Ownership Works.

In Wheeling, w. Va, the private gas works
were bought by the city many years ago, and
paid for by the sale Of bonds All the bonds
have been redeemed ont OF the profits on the
gas, without levyine one dollar on the people,
and the public service is now yielding yearly
income of about SIS, 900 to the city treasury,
besides supplying the people with gas at IS
cents a thousand The books of the city for
1896 show that besides supplying gas to the
people at the price named, the city itself burn
ed SO 900 worth in its own public buildings,
for which it paid nothing. The SIS 900 profit
made on its gas receipts more than sufficed to
pay the entire cost of lighting the cty's streets
with 45o arc lights of 2 900 candle power each.
1t thus appears that Wheeling is able to furnish
itself with electric light at about $50 per lamp,
or less than ore-h half the charge made by pri-
vate lighting corporations to other cities

AT Dawson City, in the Klondike, where
gold is the single standard of value, wages for
labor is SIS a day. This is only an extreme
illustration of the notorious fact, however, that
the only countries where labor is respected and
where it gets decent wages are countries that
recognize the gold standard
The above from the Topeka Daily Capital is
a fair average of the gold-standard argument.
The Capital negects to state that the people are
starving in that country "where labor is re-
spected and where it gets decent wages" The
chief attraction in Heaven for people of the
Clpitals stripe will be that the streets are paved
with gold-Garden City Sentinel.

ST. JOHN AT DENVER.

Ex-Governor St, John is in Colorado, on bus
mess, and visiting his son John. While in
Denver, last week, he was petitioned by the
governor of Colorado, the mayor of Denver and
other prominent men to deliver address in
that city. The petition reads as follows:
JOHN P. ST. JOHN. Dear Sir: We, the un-
dersgned citizens of Colorado, knowing the
ability and faithfulness with which you have
stood for the rights Of the people during your
long and honorable career, hereby request you,
at some early, convenient date, to deliver a
public address in our city, upon such political
issues of the day as you prefer. Asking an
early and, we hope, favorable reply, we remain
yours, respectfully
The petition was signed by the Citizens
League and nearly forty prominent citizens OF
Denver Governor St John replied as follows:
ALBANY HOTEL, Nov. 80.
GENTLEMEN: l accept your courteous in
vitatiou to address the citizens OF Denver on
the political issues of the day, and will name
Friday evening, Dec. 3D. at the Coliseum, as
the time and place for such meeting. With
many thanks for your kind and generous words,
l am very truly yours, JOHN P. ST. JOHN.

fling at the bereaved young lady was unfair and
unjust, and we are surprised that Brady should
be so ungcntlenauly. He should not allow his
political prejudice get the better of his judg-
ment and good sense.
