1t will he observed that the value
of horses and wheat while fluctuating
from year to year, has fallen greatly
during the period from 1875 to 1896, but
the value of gold has remained station
ary. II farmer had buried hundred
dollars in gold coin in 1873 and taken II
out in 1896 he would have been able
to buy twice as much wheat with 1t
as he could have bought when he buried
1t. And he could have bought two horses
in 1895 for the same amount Of gold
that he would have paid for one in 1873.
Yes, conditions have changed. Gold is
twice as valuable now as 1t was twenty
five years ago when measured by other
property-property out Of which debts
have to be paid, and property In gen.
eral-all excepting gold-was worth
about half as much in the market in 1895
as it was In 1873. This explains the rea-
son why the gold standard people pay
so much respect to the changed cOndi-
tionB.

CURRENT DISCUSSION.
By EX-SENATOR PEFFER.

were concerned. The bond sales during
the Cleveland administration were but
carrying out the Republican policy be-
gun, under the Harrison administration,
by Senator Sherman introducing and
urging a bill to sell bonds, and Secretary
Foster ordering the preparation of
plates on which to print them. The only
feature of difference between the bond
policy Of the two administrations was
the fact that Foster asked for authority
from Congress and stopped short when
he did not get it, while Carlisle, failing
in a like request, went ahead and sold
bonds without such authority.
During all of the period since 1873,
with fluctuations from year to year, the
general level Of prices has been settling
downward, reaching In the end at least
40 per cent. and the aggregate losses of
the people on account thereof have run
up into billions Of dollars.
The displacement OF labor has been
enormous-beyond all precedent, and
wages have been maintained only by
the physical resistance Of the workers.
Strikes and lockOuts have multiplied
80 that it Is doubtful whether a week
has passed within twenty-five years
without one or more being reported.
These facts Of record show that II good
times accompany Republican rule, the
searcher must throw his light on an oc-
casional year or two selected from a
long period of general depression.
Now, take the State Of Kansas, and
It was our own State that the Congress-
men were talking about. We had good
times during most Of the eighties, ex-
cepting the loss of three-quarters OF a
million sheep and as many hogs, and
good many millions Of dollars on live
stock because of falling prices, begin
ming about 1886 or 1887 But we set
tied twenty-three new counties and built
railroads, churches, school houses, etc.
We were booming then. And during all
of those ten years except two, Republi-
cans have had control Of the entire State
government. The hardest times we
have had in Kansas since the grasshop-
pers left us, was from 1889 to 1892, and
Republicans were then in power except
as to one branch of the Legislature; but
Republican policies prevailed, for no
laws WCIC GudClCu LAdJ uAA nv AOSSA'S
the sanction of the Senate, composed OF
thirty-eight Republicans to two Popu-
lists; and the Governor who approved
them was Republican Of the straight
est sect. During the four years begin
ming with 1893, the political complexion
of the State government was mixed, and
there has been no fuss made over good
times" until the very time when all de-
partments passed absolutely into the
hands of Populists, in January, 1897;
and their policies are no more or less
responsible for this change in our bust
ness affairs, than are Republican poll
Cies to be credited with improved con-
ditions in the country generally.
The simple truth is, that we have had
good times and hard times under the
administration of all parties, just as we
have had all sorts of weather under the
supervision of the wisest and best Of
all Governors.

The Senate Two to One Against the Single
Gold Standard

Gold Standard.
Last Friday the Senate, by vote Of
81 to 80, passed the Teller resolution,
which provides
THAT all bonds of the United States
issued, or authorized to be issued, under
the said acts Of Congress hereinbefore
recited, are payable, principal and inter
est, at the option of the government Of
the United States In silver dollars Of the
coinage of the United States containing
four hundred and twelve and one-half
grains each Of standard silver; and that
to restore to It's coinage such silver coins
as a legal tender In payment Of said
bonds, principal and interest, is not In
violation Of the public faith nor in dero
cation Of the rights Of the public cred
itor"
The vote is significant 1t shows that
the silver sentiment among Republicans
Is strong, and 1t foreshadOws the com.
ing together OF the conservative eIe-
ments in the Democrat party on the
money question.
1t Is understood, of course, the resolU-
tion does not raise the question OF free
and unlimited coinage of silver at Che
ratio of 16 to Of gold but 1t does place
It's friends among those who would hold
that all our coin obligations are payable
In American coin of the standard value
of July IA, 1870; that Is to say, In gold
or silver goin Of that standard, AT OUR
OPTION. That is the only safe posi-
tiOn, and 1t will be sustained by the peo-
pie II ever they get fair vote upon the
question.
But there was another vote still more
significant. It was SO against and "a for
the Lodge amendment, which pro-
vides--
"That all the bonds of the United
States issued or authorized to be issued
under the said acts Of Congress herein
before recited are payable, principal and
interest, in gold coin or its equivalent;
and that any other payment without the
consent of the creditor would be in vio-
lation Of the public faith and derOga-
ton of his rights"
The affirmative vote consisted OF 28
Republicans and one Democrat (Caifery
of Loulslana). The negative vote waa
made UP of 20 Democrats, II Republi-
cans and Populists. OF the 40 Repub-
licans voting, II, or nearly 0ne-half,
are opposed to the single gold stand
ard. OF the 30 Democrats voting, only
one voted for gold alone.
OF the Republicans voting against the
resolution, all were from the North
western and Pacific States except Chand-
Ter, Of New Hampshire, and PritChard,
Of North Carolina. And Baker Of KAN
sas, Thurston of Nebraska, Gear OF Iowa
and Mcbride of Oregon were the only
Republicans west of the Mississippi
river that voted for It, Thus 1t will be
seen that the South and West are prac-
ticalIy unanimous In opposition to the
single gold standard, while the States
north of the Ohio river and East OF the
State of Ohio are as sOlldly in favot
OF 1t.

Nobody has yet been bold enough to|
assert openly that the government oS|
the United States Is bound, either In law'
or words, to furnish gold for the use o.,
spectators or to travellers or to ary--I
body. Yet, every scheme of currency
reform proposed by the friends OF tht
administration provides for large flncl
OF gold coin to be kept always In theS
treasury.

A standing witness against the sound
ness OF our monetary system Is that
provision in the constitution Of the

enact bankrupt laws. Under safe and
self-adjusting financial policy there
would be no periodical panics with their

racy, in convention in this city, decided by
a vote of 80 to Sc in favor of the colonization
scheme, for which purpose it was organized,
and against the plan of political action pro-
posed by Eugene V. Debs. Prior to taking
the vote there was a warm debate, lasting
from early last evening until 2:30 o'clock
this morning. Silence greeted the announce
ment of the ballot. President Debs, with
his thirty-five followers, held consuita-
ton. Then they filed out of the hall and
held a separate convention. The secession
lists were called to order at the Revere
House by Frederick G. Heath, of Wiscon-
sin. Frederick Gordon, Of New York, was
secretary. The roll call showed that thirty
seven delegates were present representing
