4 PlutOCratic Fallacy.l

II We learn from the Democratic
and populist papers that the United
States can easily whip Spain because
that country has no money with
which to carry on a war.
AS Shakespeare says, wouldn't that
jar you?
Surely our Demo-Populist friends
have not forgotten the principles
upon which they stand, that intrinsic
value is not necessary for money.
Spain can take 40 cents worth of
silver, or 10 cents worth of copper,
or piece of paper and stamp on it
"this is dollar" and it will be a
dollar. The fiat of the government
is what makes money and all Spain
needs to do is to use its fiat and it
will have all the money desired.
Such fnanciers as Mr.. w. ]. bryan
and Mr.. Jerry Simpson will find
their theory easily proven when
Spain goes to issuing paper "psetas,
with the government stamp upon
them. According to these gen
tlemen, sold is not necessary, just
the "fat of the government.
Of course we expect some sub
sidized agent of the Money Power
will demur this and claim that the
fiat of the Spanish government will
not be accepted in payment for ships,
powder and pork. Out upon such
talk! 1t is inspired blythe bankers
trust and the Rothschilds. Every
Populist, and every Bryan Demo
crat knows that intrinsic value is not
necessary in money and that Spain
S therefore just as well fixed for war
is the United States, whose money
S worth its face in gold.
There are some, doubtless, who
would like to see Spain try this Pop
Hist financial theory. The Con-
ederate states tried it and couldn't
make it work. France has tried it.
Iexico is trying it. In none of

The ColOred Orator.

Owing to the rain storm Of Thursday
evening only small number gathered al
the Methodist church to listen to an ad-
dress by Rev. DR.. G. B. Mason Of Cincin-
nati. secretary of the Freedman's Aid and
Southern educational society.
His subject was the progress Of the col.
ored race in the last 80 years and in pre-
sentlng his theme he felt, he said, like the
small boy with hogshead of sugar, 20
for time ard thousand tongues to do the
thing justice"
There are at present 46 schools and col
leg es tor colored people scattered over the
Is slave states Of the south, and over 1885,
900 pupils are enrolled in these institutions.
The training is mental, moral and indus
trial. and experience has proved that the
proverbial thickness of the negro's skull is
not altogether disadvantage, for whatever
he once gets into bis head is perforce
obliged to stay there. Several thousand
tea chers have been sent out by these
SC hools TO work among their own people
and a not insignificant number have gone
to carry the blessings Of civilization into
Africa.
To northern enterprise and money, he
said, were due the educational advantages
which the colored people enjoy and upon
the north they depend in great measure
tor the continued maintenance of their
schools.

Montpelier, Wednesday Afternoon.
EDITOR TIMES:
The effect Of the investigation on the ap-
preparation bills and on the bills creating
commissions is the chief topic of converse
ton thus far, and the investigation casts a
doubtful shade over everything of the kind
that comes up.
The appropriation for the fish hatchery
was saved, possibly, by pcstpcning it to
next week Wednesday afternoon, when it
is hoped that the sober second thought Of
the members will serve to save it, though
possibly with smaller appropriation.
Many members object to the prominent
personality Of Commissioner Titcomb, and
there is possibility that new man may
be appointed by the governor.
Governor Smith has his Thanksgiving
proclamation printed for the 9th, and
therefore the legislature is notified that it
must close up its work and adjourn the day
before. There will be hustling, therefore,
all along the line from now en-, and night
sessions are q probability in the near
future.
The investigating committee, as finally
made up, is composed of S.nators Plat,
Foss and Young, aud in the house of rep
resentatives, Ballard o. Georgia, Carpen-
ter of Rutland, Richardson OF St. Adams
Ranney of Newport, and Reynolds of
Swanton, the latter being the only demo-
crat On the committee. 1t is made Joint
committee by resolution, empowered to
send tor persons and papers, and to en-
ploy clerk. 1t will begin work today.
Since the speeches OF S nator Proctor
and Governor Smith and the joint resolu-
ton unanimously adopted by both houses,
there can be no question as to the opinion
of Vermont, officially, at least, on the
question OF retaining the Philippines. We
are all .'imperialists" now.
The hall of the house was packed last
night to hear the arguments OF counsel on

Marsh and Buzzell, now under sentence Of
