The Baby OF the Dollar?

New Jersey is shocked at the decis-
ion of Justice Gunner of that state,
who has ruled that the life of a child
is worth 81. That is the full amount
awarded to a father whose five-yea-old
uhild was killed by one of the cars of
the Jersey City Consolidation Trac-
ton company.
New Jersey is reaping what it has
sown. The laws of that state are more
favorable to corporations than those
OF any other state. Companies doing
business all over the United States
have gone to New Jersey for their
charters partly because of the low
fees for incorporation but largely te-
cause of the fact that combinations
of capital formed for questionable
purposes have been uble to secure
franchises in that state when they
failed elsewhere.
In his decision Justice Gunner says:
"Children are an expense as rule
and not d pecuniary benefit to their
parents.
Seldom has there been a palmer
statement of the oft repeated allega-
ton that the later decisions of our
courts lead to the elevation of proper
ty rights above those of human life.
A baby's life is worth a dollar! Is that
the last expression of our latter day
civilization?
Suppose it is your baby. The Jug
gernaut of capital brushes out its life.
1t was of no ''pecuniary benefit" to
you. 1t was an expense" in the view
of this judge. You should have con-
sidered it an evil thing and wished
for its death.
Has the mamlnon worship of the
nineteenth centars made baby of
less value than a dollar?-Des Moines

BY Thy Words Thou Shalt Be
Condemned,

The national Republican league at
Omaha, on the 18th of July, 1898, un-
blushingly repudiated all their sham
pretences that they were in favor of
bimetallism in any form. They said:
I'VE are uncompromisingl in favor
of the maintenance of the single gold
Standard
A party which has secured the de-
monetization of silver by continuous
declarations that they were in favor
OF bimetallism now admits that its
whole career on that subject has been
a base falsehood. The American
people are in favor of the use of both
metals. The Republican party is in
favor of the use of only one. Fhe
American people are in favor of a
supply of money which will maintain
stability of prices. The Republican
party is in favor of gold because it
will depress prices and enhance the
value of bonds. The American people
are in favor of justice and an honest
measure of value. The Republican
party is in favor of injustice and a
shrinking measure of value. The
American people are in favor of an
independent financial policy. The
Republican party is in favor of the
English gold standard and opposed
to everything American. The Ameri.
can people are patriotic. The Repub
lican party confesses in the resolu.
ton above quoted that it is unpatri.
otto, in favor of the rich against the
poor, in favor of increasing the value
OF money and of bonds and decreasing
the value of property.
We thank the Republican party
for pleading guilty and acknowledge.
ing that it is opposed to everything
1t has advocated in the last thirty
years in regard to finance. We are
glad that out of its own mouth the
Republican party is condemned as a
falsifier. No condemnation could
have been equal to the condemnation
which the Republican party by its
authorized agents has pronounced,
and the American people will never
believe them again when they say
they are bimetalIists. The votes thew
get hereafter they will have to get as
monometallists, as extortionists, as
contractionists, as stock jobbers, as
enemies of the welfare of the masses
of the people. -Silver-Knight.

Would it be conducive to peace if
the government were to abdicate it's
sovereign power to declare war in
favor of private parties or corpor-
ations engaged in the manufacture of
guns and powder, and abandon it's
own navy yards and arsenals? Such
q condition would be as much guar
antee of peace as the surrender of it's
sovereign power to issue legal tender
money, and its control over the
volume thereof to banks would be a
guarantee of prosperity. Silver
