THIS PAPER.

With this issue we commence the
twenty seventh year in the history of
the MONITOR. It was started by E.H
time under his management reached
such standing and received such
support as to make it's existence Sc
cure. The history of the newspaper
business, even in Vermont, shows
that large per cent of papers die an
early death. Mr.. Webster has run
the job business alongside the MoNI-
TOR all the time, with the exception
of four years while in the post office
under the Harrison administration,
until the present time. In 1878 the
senior editor became connected with
the paper, purchasing it not long after.
Since his ownership it has been en-
larged twice aud the reading matter
has been increased by the use of small
er type.
The expense of publishing a coun
try paper increases from year to year.
More is demanded of it. The public
require that it shall be weekly one,
of all the news of it's locality, with no.
tices and reports of all important, and
many non important meetings. 1t
has to do not little putting and much
gratis and personal advertising. The
expense of getting and putting up the
local items in a paper is very heavy,
where formerly there was little or
nothing paid correspondents for work
and there were but few town and
county items any way. e..v,-
This paper has been very we'll used
by the people. 1t is doubtful whether
any local paper in the state is read by
a larger per cent of people in it's own
locality than this. We feel both a
friendship and gratitude to very
large number of subscribers who have
been on our list for many years. They
seem to be personal friends and they
may be assured of a reciprocal friend
ship. We extend to them the greet
ings of the new year and the most
hearty wish for comfort and blessing
hereafter.
1t is not for us to say whether the
paper has in a fair degree met the
wishes and supplied the wants of its
readers. 1t has always been the in
tention to make it clean, reliable as far
as possible, useful to it's patrons and
a help to every laudable work or en-
terprise. We expect to give our read
ers more matter and to make the paper
better than ever before. To this end
we invite communications, and we
ask all our readers to send us such
items of local news as come to their
knowledge, together with anything
that will be of interest to the reader.
We shall furnish club papers the year
round, though a club list will not ap-
pear.

The World from Tampa, Fla, says:
Among the passengers from Havana
was W. T. Fulton, cattle dealer.
When: the riot started in Havana he
was near the first newspaper Office at

officers Of the Spanish volunteers, who
had become enraged over the autono-
mist articles in the papers They at
tackled the Offices Of La Discussion and
La Diario de la Marina, totally wreck
ing them, News of the riot reached
Blanco and he sent officers from his
personal staff to quell the mob. There
was platoon of regulars in charge of a
Spanish colonel, and as soon as he
spoke the mob recognized and
made q demonstration against him.
Words ensued and some volunteers
slapped the colonel's face. He was
then seized and his badge torn off and
trampled on the ground. The crowd
all the time was crying ''Viva Spain. y
The colonel's uniform YVES torn off.
The crowd then proceeded 4, the office
of La Lucha, a semi-governmento organ,
smashed it's presses and threw the type
into the street.

fate few moments later. This was
all done because the papers favored au-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Decide to Go It
Alone in the Future.
ST. LOUIS, JAM. 14.-At the confer
ence Of the Populist leaders held here a
new political party was born. It was
christened the Peoples party. The
Peoples party proposes to 60 it alone.
It has severed all connections with the
national Populist committee and made
all arrangements for administering it's
own estate without the aid or advice of
any outside party.
With few exceptions the delegates
declared themselves unequivocally in
favor Of going it alone in the future.
The referendum system was most
highly complimented and recommended
for use among the middle.of -the-road-
ers in settling matters Of national inn
portance to the order, and the1e was a
practical agreement among the dele
gates that a national presidential con-
vention should be held this year.
The entire afternoon and evening
was spent in lengthy discussions, and
it was not until late hour that the
mode Of procedure for future action
was agreed upon.

TOO RESTRICTED A BASIS.

Inadequacy of Gold to Perform Func-
lions Of Primary Money.
The inadequacy of the single gold
standard to perform the necessary
functions of primary money is Illus
trated by the experiences of the Impe-
rial bank of Germany, a single gold
standard country. The authorized cir
culation of this bank was originally
fixed arbitrarily, and against this cir
culation the bank was required to keep
a coin and bullion reserve of one-third.
At first it was required that all notes
issued beyond this arbitrarily fixed
limit should be covered by coin or bull
lion. Thus were the note issues tied
down to gold. But it was found that
this left the hands of the bank tied in
times Of difficulty, and so the bank was
permitted to cut loose from this bull
lion restriction and issue notes in ex-
cess of the arbitrary limit whenever it
saw it, it being required, however, to
pay q tax of five per cent. on such ex-
cess. Thus b recognition made Of the
insudaciency of gold to meet the re-
quirements of the country at all times;
What IS the advantage Of estsblishlhe
a system Of currency on basis that
must be ignored in every hour Of need

Persons not well informed regarding
the condition of the gold mining indus
try might infer that the performance
o. 1897 was abnormal, due to the unus-
ual and extraordinary conditions, and
that it is not likely to be repeated, but
this is not true. CALIFORNIA; production
shows legitimate increase, which is
due to the more systematic and scien-
tific methods adopted for both the ex-
traction and the treatment of gold
ores, the perfection of the cyanide
process alone bringing thousands of
tons of ore into the market that was
formerly thrown upon the dump, con-
shutting a liability instead of a re-
source. The use of cyanide of potas-
stun, here as we'll as elsewhere, is in
its infancy; mills are multiplying in
all the gold-bearing sections, and
eventually ore containing precious
metal values not exceeding So to the
ton will be proftably worked in this
state as we'll as elsewhere. This al
ready obtains in South Africa, other
wise mining would have long ago been
discontinued there. California, there
fore, is more apt to increase than de-
crease its gold production. Colorado
has only just begun to exploit her gold
fields. Five years ago it's product came
chiefly from one county. During the
past year it was mined in paying guam
titles in rs counties. The mines of the
Witwatersrand district can hardly fail
to increase their output. The new dis
coveries in Australia give assurance
part of the world. Alaska is an I'M
known quantity as yet, but any calcu-
lation that omits the Klondike as a fac
tor would at once be set aside as imper-
feet.
Surveying the whole field, and con-
servatively rejecting items that are not
based upon known facts and reasonable
conjectures, the conclusion is inevita-
Bile that the world is entering upon an
era of gold production unparalleled in
history. That there will be too much
prod uced-so much as to affect it's world
value as money metals not believed.
That is an argument bimetallists have
never used. Nor is it believed that there
! will ever be enough produced to furnish
an adequate metallic currency for the
people of the universe. The threatened
deluge has no terrors for the single
standard advocates, which is trife sim
gular, since their contention has ever
been that the over-production of silver
caused it's depreciation and debase-
ment. Friends of the white metal are
serene in the conviction that the in
crease in the gold output will tend to
close the gap between the two metals
and force recognition of the correctness
of the present ratio.-Los Angeles Her
