E POPULIST POINTS :
Il q


eminent, viewed from the standpoint
Of personality and Of necessity grow
ing out Of existence wants and cul-
ture wants. In this comparison the
second term is an organic part OF the
first term, hence in the theory Of mon
ey the organic idea is superadded to
that of ratio. These two relations in
volve mathematical and ethical ideas.
The supply Of money should be pro-
portioned to the degree OF national
solidarity. Really, at the bottom,
money is nothing but fixed and tan
gible expression of the relation be-
tween national integrity and personal
integrity. The value Of money rests
upon broader foundation than that
nat or decree, or supply and demand,
or labor. Cattle, furs, wampum, cow
RE shells, iron, copper, salt, tobacco,
silver and gold have each marked some
stage through which mankind have
passed, or are now passing, in the evo-
luton of scientific currency. Finally,
what determines the degree Of value?
Manifestly the importance and utility
between a nation and an individual is
vastly more important than the rela-
ton Of an ounce Of gold to an ounce OF
silver. From the foregoing 1t is clear
that parity cannot exist between mon
ey and men. Such view would be
contrary to logic, philosophy and
mathematics.

For Direct Laws.

The Union Reform party of Ohio has
been formed with a platform contain
ing but a single plank, and it is well
worth reprinting in this column. 1t
is as follows:
/. For direct legislation under the
system known as the initiative and ref
erendum.
Under the Initiative" the people can
require that any desired law shall be
submitted to them for vote, when, if
it receives majority Of the votes cast,
it will be thereby enacted.
Under the referendum" the people
can require that any law which has
been adopted by legislature shall, be-
fore becoming operative, be submitted
to a vote of the people for their ap-
proval or rejection, when, if such law
fail to secure a majority of the votes
cast, it will be thereby rejected.

The ancient city of Winchester, En-
gland, is this year celebrating its one
thousandth anniversary as a munich
pal corporation, its first mayor having
been one Beornwulf, in 1893. 1t was
1t will be remembered, the capital Of
England in the reign of Alfred, the
one thousandth anniversary Of whose
death is soon to be commemorated.
Winchester is identified with the Cara-
eliot of the Athurian legends. Curious
ly enough, this very time has been
chosen for a serious attack upon the
history of Alfred. Our chief knowl-
edge concerning him is derived from
q Latin manuscript attributed to AS.
ser. But careful investigators now de-
clare that manuscript to be a mere
compilation of more or less apocryphal
tales, made some centuries after AL
fred's time, and there is thus actual
danger that the great king may be-
come as doubtful and shadowy a per-
sonage as Arthur himself Neverthe-
less, the word will probably continue
to cling to the tale of the burnt cakes
and rightly, for it is edifying and in
spring, whether authentic or not.

The Bushwhacking Traitors.

The silent, bushwacking traitors of
this country are the newspapers that
would mortgage the American people,
soul, heart and body, to the grasping
capitalists Of the world. Wall street
has always been traitor to the Re-
public. 1t would tread the flag In the
mud and murder liberty for gain. 1t
would starve widows and orphans for
its kind of prosperity. The
army must come from plain people,
from the workshops, and factories, and
farms, and it must fight to protect the
miserable business in Wall street,
while it is fighting to preserve the
honor Of the country and for universal
freedom Farmer

Intrinsic Value.

William Stanley Jevons, NJ. A., F. r.
s., Professor Of Logic and Political
Economy in the Owens College, Man
chester, England, is certainly higher
authority than any or all of the col
lege professors of the United States at
the present day, and it would be well
for Cleveland, Harrison, and other in
trinsic value lunatics to read what he
says on that subject. We quote a short
chapter from Professor Jevons, as fol-
lows:
1--WE must now fix our attention upon
the fact that, in every act of exchange,
definite quantity of one substance Is
exchanged for a definite quantity OF
another. The things bartered may be
most various in character, and may
be variously measured. We may give
a weight of silver for length of rope,
or superficial extent Of carpet, or
number of gallons Of wine, or a GER
tain horsepower Of force, or convey
ance over q certain distance. The guam
titles to be measured may be ex-
pressed in terms of space, time, mass,
force, energy, heat, or any other phys
ical units. Yet each exchange will con-
sist in giving so many units Of one
thing for so many units OF another,
each measured in its appropriate way.
every act of exchange thus pre-
sents itself to us in the form Of ra-
ito between two numbers. The word
value Is commonly used, and II, at cur
rent rates, one ton Of copper exchanges
for ten tons Of bar iron, it is usual to
say that the value of copper is ten
times that of iron, weight for weight.
For our purpose, at least, this use OF
the word value is only an indirect
mode of expressing ratio. When we
say that gold is more valuable than sill
yer we mean that, as commonly ex-
changed, the weight of silver exceeds
that of the gold given for it. II the
value of gold rises compared with that
of silver, then still more silver is CIV
en- for the same quantity of gold. But
value, like utility is no intrinsic quail
ity of thing; it is an extrinsic acci-
dent or relation. We should never
speak of the value Of thing at all
without having in our minds the other
thing in regard to which it is valued.
The very same substance may rise and
fall in value at the same time. If in
exchange for given weight Of gold
can get more silver, but less copper,
than used to do, the value Of gold has
risen with respect to silver, but fallen
with respect to copper. 1t is evident
that an intrinsic property Of thing
cannot both increase and decrease at
the same time; therefore value must
be a mere relation or accident Of a
thing as regards other things and the
persons needing them"

The telegraph system of Japan, which
is controlled by the government, COM
prises $4,000 miles of land lines and
1888 Of submarine cables, besides the
cable to Formosa, which is 800 miles
in length. There are 1,122 telegraph
Offices in the kingdom, and the opera
tors are mostly young men, except in
the country, where girls are often EN-
ployed. The extent Of the telegraph
business can be inferred from the fact
that the number of messages sent in
year exceeds 22,250,000, while the
traffic with foreign countries reaches
100000 messages. The telephone bust
ness is growing very rapidly in Japan,
but has been handicapped by inability
to secure instruments, the demand far
exceeding the supply. The instru-
ments are all owned and operated by
the government. The first exchange
was opened in 1890. In 1896 there
were $40 miles of lines and 1892 sub
scribers.

A movement to induce employers to
change the general pay day Of all

day to Monday, or some other day Of
the week, was inaugurated at a meet
ing of the United Labor League Of
western Pennsylvania.
The Chicago stereotypers have not
only learned lesson themselves, but
have taught one to organized labor at
large. Labor must respect the con-
tracts IL helps TO make, or 1t will be
hammered to it's doom by a series of
unending Unconstitutional Labor
Tribune.
If Mayor Humes signs an ordinance
passed by the Seattle city council, it
will be misdemeanor to expectorate
on the public sidewalks. The ordi-
nance introduced by Dr. Crichton some
time ago makes the penalty for expec-
torating on the sidewalk S25 for each
offense.
The brickmakers of Boston have for
some time past complained bitterly OF
their hours of labor and low wages. 1t
is claimed that the importation into
Boston of bricks made in the country
towns has forced the wages of the men
employed in Boston brick yards below
a living point.

Since the money press has deemed IL
proper and necessary to attack the
United States postal service it behooves
all friends of good American institu-
tons to come to their aid. The hight
is on. If the American people desire
to retain possession of the postoffice
service they must stand ready to pro-
tect it. Leading metropolitan papers
are declaring that 1t is failure, and
should be placed in the hands Of pri-
vate capital They lie and they know
they lie. They lie for an object. Inc
postofice is an object lesson to the
people. 1t shows them what govern
ment service can do for them even I'M
der the most unfavorable circum-
stances. 1t points the way to the ma
tional ownership Of railways, mines
and other natural monopolies. Hence
1t is necessary for the corporation press
to traduce the postoffice and point to
trifing deficit as reason why IL
should pass into the hands of Rock
efeller or a Morgan. If three-cent
stamp were used instead of two the
surplus would be enormous. AS 1t is,
there has been a slight deficit. There
are no fractional parts of cent in use.
One half of one mill added to stamp
would create a surplus. But let us see
who creates this deficit. 1t Is the cor
poration owned railroads, on whom

Walter Clark on this subject: Post
master General Bissell's report for
1894. D. SO, and Wilson's for 1895, p. 81,
shows that the average price for car
rying the mail was Fights cents per
pound, and this for an average dis
lance Of 44S miles. The Texas and
Southern Pacific Railroad carries caps,
boots. cassimeres and hardware for
eight-tenths Of a cent per pound from
New Orleans to San Francisco, $500
miles, or FIVE times the average haul OF
the mail, for which eight cents pound
is paid; that is, the government pays
fifty times as much. On an investiga-
ton before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. George R. Blanchard tes-
titled that the express companies car
ried milk to New York, distance OF
396 miles, at charge of one-sixth OF a
cent per pound, returning the cans free,
and that the distance could be increas-
ed to 1000 miles and there would still
be profit of one-sixth Of cent; while
the government pays for the transpor-
tation of the mails over the same lines
eight cents for an average of 448 miles,
besides paying for the annual rental
OF the cars largely more than 200 per
cont on their cost. Joseph H. Choate,
who appeared for the railroads in the
same investigation, testified that at
the rate of one-third of cent per
pound on 40-quart cans there would be
a profit of 200 to 300 per cent"

great. The cause OF the disturbance
was the chronic poverty Of the Italian
people, which has besn accumulated by
the war between the United States and
Spain and the consequent rise in the
price of food. The condition of the
people is said to be frigk6ul. One cor
respondent says that the people are dy-
ing of starvation in the streets. Their
burdens are said to be largely due to
extravagant military expenditures,
which has been the cause of enormous
taxation.

Municipal Electric Lighting.

There are 1913 electric light plants in
operation under municipal ownership
in the United States. These are locat-
ed in thirty-nine states and territoriev,
furnishing 26,0S7 arc lights and 81, 44O
incandescent lights and representing a
capacity Of 10000 horse power. Ohio
has Al municipal plants; Michigan, 35;
Illinois, "a; Minnesota, rs; Iowa, %;
Missouri, 10; Indiana, 10; New York,
IA; Pennsylvania, Is, and Massachu-
sets, IL. These figures were compiled
by the city electrician of Chicago. The
great majority Of electric lighting
plants are owned by private parties,
there being 1900 plants in the United
States that are thus owned.

How He Married Them.

A newly appointed justice Of the

embarrassed the first time he was call

many ht.lts and mistakes before the
proceeding was over; but at last lie

Leave Me Not Yet.

Leave me not yet-through rosy skies
from far,
But now the song-birds to their nest re-
turn; )
The quivering image Of the first pale star
On the dim lake yet scare begins to
burn;
Leave me not yet!
Not yet-oh, bark! low tones from hid
den streams.
Piercing the shivery leaves, cen now
arise;
Their voices mingle not with daylight
Dreams
They are of vesper hymns and har-
monies;
Leave me not yet!
My thoughts are like those gentle SOUNDS,
dear love.
BY day shut up in their own still recess,
They wait for dews on earth, for stars
above,
Then to breathe out their soul of ten
derness:
Leave me not yet!

There is strong protest in London
against the exorbitant insurance rates
which are charged. The insurance
companies have divided the city into
blocks, and there is absolutely no COM
petition among the companies. Forty
three fire insurance companies have a
surplus of f29,000,00O. Their premium
income is f19,00O,0O0 per annum. The
fire losses last year were fl0,5OO, 600,
and the commission and expenses up
on that amount were $500 900, leaving
a net profit of more than 100000

1.-THE war with Spain is doing with
the 1-cent piece what retail traders and
the postal department failed to do,
according to the San Francisco Chron-
icle. 1.-THE measure which congress
framed for raising revenues with
which to carry on the war makes il
necessary for every one engaged in
business to handle the copper cent
The telegraph cannot be used without
affixing 1-cent revenue stamp on the
written message, and no check can
pass over the counter Of bank and
be honored without similar treatment
This war measure has thus forced on
the Pacific coast without opposition a
coin which 1t would have taken years
Of coaxing to persuade 1t to accept by
any ordinary process" Ever since ths
discovery of gold in California the cent

Senator Hoar declared, in recent
address before Clark University Sum-
mer School, that you can find no sur
or test Of the spirit that animates the
youth of a country in giving up its
lie in great war than in the battle
hymns of nations. The inspiration of
France has been found, and is still
found, in the stirring strains of the
'Marseillaise,' Sons Of France, awake
to glory But an American woman
has struck for the American youth a
loftier strain in the 'Battle-Hymn Of
the Republic
I'm the beauty Of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea;
As he died to make men holy, so we
die to make them free"

Worth Remembering.

The juice Of half lemon in q tea
cup of strong, black coffee. without
sugar, will often cure sick headache.
The skin of boiled egg is the best
remedy for boil. Carefully peal it,
wet and apply to the boil; it draws out
the matter and relieves soreness. For
simple hoarseness take a fresh egg,
beat it and thicken with pulverized
sugar. Eat freely of it and the hoarse-
ness will soon be relieved. When your
face and ears burn so terribly battle
them in very hot water-as hot as you
can bear.

What is the feeling of the race to-
ward the United States government?
One hears them say little of loyalty or
Of patriotism, though that is mo sign,
as the children say. Among the
troops generally, however, there is
now more respect for the coon soldier
than there was at Tampa and Key
West, and in the new great army
which We are preparing for permanent
service, especially If we have to put a
standing force in Cuba, negro recruits
can be made of immense value"
