iowa Senator Who Was Absent Good
Deal Has His Warrant Cancelled.
Dies MONIES, Ia, May Ex-senator
Rudolph Lehfeldt of the district COM
posed of Crawford, Harrison and Mon
roe counties was prevented by unavoid-
able business demands upon his time
from attending the sessions of the senate
during the extra session. He came here
several times when his vote was needed
on important matters, but he was here
very little of his time. He returned
his warrant of $67S to Auditor Nc
Carthy who in turn delivered it to Treas
urer Herriott, and it was Cancelled at the
senator's request. He explained that
he had been unable to attend the ses-
sions and did not consider that he had
earned the money, therefore he re-
turned it to the state.

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD,
Senator Jones Admits That There Can Be
but One Standard Of Value.

Senator Jones Admits That There Can Be
but One Standard OF Value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value,
any more than it can maintain more
than one standard Of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, or more
than one standard Of length. If there
be two or more standards Of different
value, the standard of ]oi er value will
in practice become the only standard.
If one goes into the market, the law
being that yard shall be either two
feet CO three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feet in length.
If he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that ton shall be either 1900 or 2, $40
pounds, he will receive tons Of 1000
pounds each. If he buy potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that a bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that dollar is either gold coin, with
a bullion value equal to it's face value,
or silver coin, with a bullion value Of
only half it's face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell
ers Of the carpets, the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid in dollars of the lesser
value.
There never has been and there never
can be in any country at any time a BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences of injustice with reference
to past contracts and uncertainty with
reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
repo,t of the silver commission of 1876
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is a variance between the le-
gal and market relations of the metals
the standard would be practically based
on one metal, and it the cheaper and
more available one. The financial his
tory of the United States and Of France
furnish conclusive evidence of the accu-
racy of the senator's view on this point.

Confidence Makes Gold Plentiful.

The gold standard does not restrict us
to the use Of gold. Our country, like
every other gold standard country, uses
vast amounts of silver concurrently
with gold.
There is no shortage of gold. Its pro-
duction is steadily increasing. When
confidence prevails, there is no lack OF
gold for currency or any other purposes.
