WHO SOWEO THE SEEDS?
Where the blame for Dissatisfaction
i'm the Army Properly
Belongs.

"Who," demanded President McKin-
ley at Omaha the othe day-'who will
embarrass the government by sowing
seeds of dissatisfaction among the
brave men who stand ready to serve
and die, if need DE, for their country %
Well, it must be confessed that Mr.. Nc
Kinley's investigating committee are
doing as little as possible to embar-
rass the government (meaning the
man who appointed then), but even
they occasionally stumble upon the
real seeds of dissatisfaction and the
man who sowed them. Gen. Graham,
for example, in his testimony yester-
day, attributed the sickness in Camp
Alger to the incompetence of the vo1un-
tecr officers, and particularly to the
civilians on brigade and regimental
stats. Some of these appointees, he
said, in time learned something of
their business, but too many were
hopelessly incapable and incorrig-
ible." And the result was typhoid and
death. Here was a large seed of dis
satisfaction, and the head gardener in
the white house, who made the unfit
appointments, was thus really the man
WHO, DIS ne now was VI III
truding detraction" to ''belittle the
manly spirit of American youth. y
Even more explicit and embarrassing
are the indignant remarks of Surgeon
Major Seaman, just back from Ponce
and Santiago. He bluntly says that 90
per cent. OF the deaths from disease
were murder-pure governmental neg
lect. Was the medical department at
fault? No. Who then?
There was no lack of supplies of all
sorts. But through the imbecility, incom-
potency and iGiocy of the men in the quar-
termaster's department the supplies were
not taken care of or furnished to the men. :"
who were these men,"
Sons of generals, rich mems sons, sons
of politicians. and God knows what"
Who sowed this seed of dissatisfac
ton? DID not the president? Did he
not do it in the teeth of protests from
army experts, who predicted the very
results we now see? These are the
questions Mr.. Mckinley ought to be
asking himself instead of addressing
his plaintiye queries to the public

THE USURER,s CRIME.
IL Has been Consulted by Those wh0
Have Raised the Gold
Standard

Those who had reaped the benefits
of the steady increase IN the value OF
money from 1909 to 1876 from its fail
ure to increase as rapidly In volume as
commerce had increased. fully saw and
understood the advantages which had
come to them from his lessening sup
ply of money in proportion to trade.
and the fact was never lost sight of by
them. They fully understood that the
benefcence CT Almighty God and the
industry of man had given to the world
a sufficient supply of gold and silver
to defeat the usurers in their game of
consuming the wealth and labor of the
world by the unearned increase in the
value of their money. 1t was clear that
there was no way to reduce the supply
of metal which Providence had placed
in the mountains, aud there was no
way to prevent the strong arms of the
miners from bringing it up. The only
chance left tc them then was to create
an artificial scarcity of money if they
were ever to bring back the old con-
ditions of robbery by iaw-the old con-
ditions of hard times and distress
which was their harvest. When nature
and industry had provided in abun-
dance scarcity could only be produced
by legislation to strike down one metal
and limit the money function as far
as possible tic the other. This crime
was consummated in 1873. From the
day that that law unfortunately be-
came operative it has carried into exc
cution the purposes which these con-
spirators had in view. The volume of
money, lessening not absolutely, but in
proportion to the volume of trade, has
of necessity continually increased the
value of money, and by this hidden,
unseen and covert means conhscation
of the property of the masses for the
benefit of these individuals has been
and is being accomplished, and this
condition of things must and will con-
tinue so long as the laws remain as
they are now The causes which have
operated to produce the present results
will continue their operation in the
same line. Prices which have been in
the last 20 years reduced, say, so per
cent, will in the next 20 years be re-
duced so per cent. more. Before 1873
the coin and bullion value of both gold
and silver were practically the same.
Since that time the bullion value as well
as the coinage value of gold has enor-
mously increased, while silver practi
cally remained steady, at least up to
1898, although excluded from the Inints
and denied its money function. Up to
1893, when the repeal of the purehas-
ing clause of the Sherman act was
forced through congress. and when
England arbitrarily closed the minis of
India to the coinage # silver. there was
no decline in the real value of that
metal; it was worth as much, would buy
as much. of any one of the thousands
of articles Of commerce all over the
world, even in the United States and in
Great Britain, as it would in 1873 and
before. 1t was only since these two
blows, delivered by the two great An
glo-Saxon peoples of the world, that
silver has actually declined in value.

His Prayer Was Effective.

OnS hard winter when sickness
came to poorly-paid pastor of GER
tain New England church, his flock
determined to meet at his house to
offer prayers for the speedy recovery
of tie sick ones and for material bless
ings upon the pastors family. While

vent prayer for blessings upon the pas
tors household, there was a loud
knock at the door, which was opened

\ good story is told of Sir Walter
Scott. 1t seems that he was far from
being a brilliant scholar, and at school
he was usually at tie head of tie

came famous he one day dropped into
the old school to pay a visit TO the
scene of his former woes. The teach

pupils through their lessons so as to
show them to the best advantage.
After awhile Scott said: -But which

Patriotism and incompetence.

President Mckinley. returning from
the Omaha exposition. has been making
little speeches from the platform of his
car to the curious crowds that assem-
bled at the stations en- route. The war
was, of course, everywhere the topic
that furnished the burden of his re-
marks. At one place he said: what
has pleased me more than anything else
on my entire trip is to witness the ex-
hibitions of patriotism throughout the
country. I am glad to see that
throughout the whole land the people
ever love good gvernment and dearly
love the old flag" They do, Mr.. McKin-
ley. They love both. and the one goes
with the other. but they also dearly love
efficiency and honesty in their public
servants; and the same patriotism that
sent our soldiers into the field now de-
mands the bringing to book of the in
competents who muddled the war and
starved our soidiers.-E. Y. Journal.

Price is an expression of the relation
existing between money and other
things. The relation that dollar
bears to other things is determined
by the number of dollars in existence.
The purchasing power of ten dollars Ia
ten times that of one dollar, and vice
versa. Dollars are counters. The
power of each is equal to that ofevery
other, hence the power of q single one
to exchange for other things depends
upon the entire number in existence.
