THE MONEY QUESTION.

The money question is ever living
issue. 1t is continuous and always i'm.
portsnt.
Money, currency, is the vehicle Of
exchange, an instrument OF utility, at
fecting every citizen in his business,
labor or whatever his occupation.
Money, from the earliest period,
among civilized people has been gold
and silver, and hence have been called
the precious metals. Our constitution
recognizes this great fact, saying, "no
state shall emit bills of credit or make
anything but gold and silver a tender
in payment of debts"
These precious metals were not liable
to sudden fluctuations and hence there
was stability in values. Debtors were
not injured by sudden depression nor
creditors by sudden initiation.
1t is the duty Of government to pro
tect citizens against injury in this way,
and see to the general welfare. u
Edmund Burke says: "It is 10 the pro.
lection Of the citizen and not to the de.
mands of the creditor of the state that
the original faith of society is pledged,
This claim of the citizen is prior in time,
paramount in title, superior in equity"
The foregoing is in line with the
old Greek saying: "The safety oi
the psopls is the supreme law
Undoubtedly, the rights Of the
citizen are paramount, for on these
depend the prosperity of the ma
tion and the payment Of the public
creditors.
There seems to be no safety for many
nations Of Europe but in radical reform
involving reputation.

PROTESTS FROM NEGROES.
Recent Treatment of Their Brothers In
the south Arouses Them
to Action.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. l4.-At a meeting
of the Forum club, composed of about
800 of the most prominent colored citi.
zens of st. Louis, Prof. o. NJ. Wood.
race commissioner of the organization,
delivered an eloquent address upon the
subject of the recent bloody massacres
of negroes in the southern states.
Resolutions were presented by Prof.
Peter II. Clark of the Sumner High
school recommending the appointment
of committee of seven to draft an ad-
dress to President Mckinley, calling
his attention to the defenseless condi-
tion of colored citizens who, are sub
jected in the states in which they live
to all forms of violence, and ask him to
intervene in behalf of humanity and
good government.
The committee is instructed to circu-
late this petition throughout the United
States for the purpose of securing
signatures ana cooperation of the col
ored citizens of the entire country. A
copy will be sent to each United States
senator and representative.

will make her report on it, and seek 10
overcome the adverse decision of the
executive committee on the subject. A
very lively contest is promised, the first
move probably being an attempt to Sc
cure a secret ballot. Friends of the
temple believe they can gain most by
such a course, because of the timidity
Of some of the delegates.
The general opinion has been that
Mrs. l.. M. n. Stevens, vice president
at large and acting president, would be
unopposed in her candidacy for the
place made vacant by the death of Miss
Frances Willard, but several other can
didates have been announced. Mrs.
Martin H. Durham of Iowa, one of the
temple trustees and now state president
of Iowa, is prominent candidate, and
her friends hope for help from the
friends of the temple. Another promi-
nent candidate is Mrs. G.. B. Forbes,
state president of Connecticut.
Mrs. Stevenson's resignation leaves
the position of corresponding secretary
vacant. Miss Anna A. Gordon, form
erly Miss Wllliard's confidential friend
and secretary, seems to be the most
prominent IN the field for the place.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the other officers will be reelected. The
place of the next meeting will probably
be Seattle.

to his own account the whole expense
of the m ovement during its two and a
half years Of continuance was G2,500,.

not only the transportation and main

recall the fact that our brief war with

a hundred millions year, or so, to our
expenses.

TIE MONEY QUESTION.

The money question comes home to
every citizen; In one way or another.
The millionaire makes IL q study, and
the day laborer thinks Of and considers
It, and for that he tolls, as 1t Is the
vehicle Of recognized value that will get
bim what he needs to support himself
and others.
As medium Of exchange, money,
like everything else is Affected by sup
ply and demand. A large supply makes
cheap money and scarcity makes dear
money.
The government that tampers with
the money Of q country to disturb
values, and especially to the injury Of
the great body of the people, is IN.
worthy Of support, and the party com.
mitted to such q policy should receive
no support from any good citizen.
This evil policy has been the curse oi
this country for long years, and the
consequences have been frightful, para
Lying business, interfering with trade
and driving people into bankruptcy
through no fault of theirs, The de.
probation in real estate demonstrated
the wickedness of the gold standard
policy to which the Republican party
ls fully committed.
That party is thus bound to and fet
tered by those money potentates who
own the world and make slaves Of man
kind. Americans should look into al
this and act the part Of free men and re
lease our government from such grasp.

TROopS SAIL FOR CUBA.
epAniards- Whose Places They Are to
Take, Refuse to Leave, Until
They Get Their Pay.


WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-Adjutant
General Corbln received dispatch an
nouncing that the Eighth cavalry
sailed Sunday morning from Savannah
for Puerto Principe, Cuba. The regi-
ment will be the American garrison at
Puerto Principe and Nuevitas.
Arrangements have been made by the
Spanish authorities TO send back to
Spain the Spanish troops, numbering
$500 men, upon the arrival of the
American garrison. 1t was expected
that they would sail next Tuesday or
Wednesday, but an unexpected obstacle
has arisen among the men themselves.
They are on the verge of mutiny,
openly declaring they will not return to
Spain until they have received their
pay, now far in arrears, for service in
Cuba. The mutiny extends not alone
to the enlisted men, but to their officers,
and is directed against the executive
officials of the Madrid government on
the island.
If they should persist in their refusal
to return to Spain, they might become
dependents, whom it would be difficult
to care for, and, ultimately perhaps, a
menace to good government on the
island.
The Spanish authorities express nc
fear of their ability to solve the problem
presented, but how they will solve it, If
the men, backed by their officers, abso'
lutely refuse to return home. without
their pay, is not clear.

THE MARCH OF PROSPERITY.

The following from the Ohio State
Journal is an index to the wide spread
prosperity that has come to Ohio up-
der the reign of Doodle, bribery, Hanna
and honest money:
"secreiary Of State Kinney has given
out the statistics Of pauperism in Ohio
for the year ending the first Monday in
September, 1898, as prepared by the
county auditors. The report shows the
inmates of county in6rmaries on the
first Monday in September, 1897, were
as follows: Males, white, 5,558, females,
3, ,448; males, colored, PIG; females, 142.
"Number admitted during the year
Males, white, 4,402; females, 1900;
msles, colored, $50; females, rs, Total
supported in the infirmaries during the
year ending September, Males,
lO,325; females, 5,956. Number Of
paupers otherwise supported dnring the
year, 23,757. Total number of paupers
in the state, 39,03S. OF this number
2 846 are white males and 1873 white fe-
males; 191 colored males and 1875 color.
ed females are wholly illiterste. The
number with higher education is 1858
males and 144 females.
"The total cost of keeping paupers in
infirmaries is 1886 84S So; keeping them
otherwise, $22S 1928 So, total cost for
keeping paupers for the year, $685.
377 o."
Thus in the year II of King Hanna,
reign, one out of every 40 in the state
of Ohio is fed by the bounty Of hi'
msjesty's private purse, and it cos
81, ,O65 377.05 to care for them.
This is the largest number of pauper
ever returned in the history Of Ohio, anC
the largest sum OF money in any on,
ear raised by taxation for their sup
port. And yet they proclaim pros
perityl
