THE QUESTION OF HONESTY.

q. Why do gold monometallists claim
that bimetallists are repudiationists?
A. Because the restoration of the hi
metallic standard would raise the price Of
products and labor, SO that accumulated
funds and securities would not be ex
cbangeabe for as much of real wealth.
and those who live by interest or have
fixed incomes could not buy so much with
their money.
q. Would it be honest to thus, by leg
islation, diminish the purchasing power
OF money, debts, fixed incomes, etc, and
increase the debt paying power of labor
and its products or the things which con-
stitute real wealth?
A. 1t is question of the best national
policy, of the greatest good to the great
est number. 1t Is impossible for any ma
ton to change an established economic
policy without working injury to some
one. Every change in the tariff laws in
inres some industry while benefiuing
others. The abolition of chattel slavery,
once the fixed policy Of this nation,
brought ruin upon tens Of thousands.
Every change in our financial policy has
wrought injury to some. while benefitting
others. Unfortunately since 1863 our leg
icy, with perhaps the exception of the
Bland and Sherman acts, has been in
the interest OF the few and against the
many. 1t has been in the interest of the
fund and security holding. fixed income,
tax consuming classes, and against those
who produce wealth.
The restoration of the bimetalIic stand
ard would reverse this policy. Wethere-
fore answer, that under normal conditions
it would not be honest, but under exist
my conditions it becomes an imperative
necessity if the wealth producing classes
would save themselves from paying ex-
cessive tribute to the idle classes.
If there mad been no increase in the
exchange value of standard money (gold)
it would he wrong to diminish its relative
value by making silver standard money
also, thus increasing its quantity. Ger
tain of the financial classes, however,
combined to influence legislation, dis
carding silver purposely TO enhance the
value OF gold, thereby multiplying the
value and burden of debts and diminish
ing the relative value OF everything by
which debts are paid. This has resulted
in great profit to the fund and .security
holding, fixed income and tax consuming
classes, and has wrought injury to those
who must bear the burden OF all debts
and taxes-the wealth-producinI classes.
TO reverse this policy, therefore, becomes
a simple act OF justice-the restoration of
that which has been wrOngfully taken
away, While il will work hardship on
the few, especially upon those who have
recently loaned money aud who will be
compelled to receive back money Of less
purchasing power, it will be Of immeas-
urable benefit to tn great masses OF the
people and will set the nation ON the nigh
road to prosperity. In the light Of past
experience, in its present phase, the
money question is not question of re
pudiation, but whether we shall, by legis-
lation, prevent wholesale conii-cation.-

"The message of President Mckinley

= practical outcome of the consideration

Instead of presenting a policy OF action

between Spain and Cuba during the past
few years, and of the negotiations be-
tween Spain and this government Tor lts

Tends Toward Anarchy

Some months ago the JOURNAL, in
referring to the Debbs or Social
Democracy, expressed the opinion
that in effect that said organization
was being made up of the baser
political elements which were moth
ing more nor less than anarchists.
This opinion was recently confirmed
by the deathbed confession of a man
who died in Chicago. The confess
sion embraced the statement that
the organization was practically a
secret one, and that its members
took an obligation to assist in over
throwing the Federal government
by force Of arms. A plan is said by
the confession to have been formed
for an attack upon the national
capitol during the late big coal
strike for the purpose Of destroying
the records of the government, but
for some unexplained reason the at
tempt to do this was not made.
Debbs is an enemy of all civil
government, law, order, and the
rights of property, and all who wish
to remain loyal to good government
should shun his leadership, under
whatever guise he may appear

Improved Surgery.

| Ahhpt SsNb Jul w
Among the glorious achievements
| Of the last half century none has been
more conspicuous and beneticient
than the eminent attainments Of
surgeryi AS the result Of scientific re-
search the discoveries applied to surg
cry have been Of incalculable benefit
to man in the amelioration Of suffer
ing and the saving Of human life.
The discoveries of the peculiar
qualities Of ether, chloroform and
cocoaine in producing insensibility
have rendered surgical operations alb
solutely painless. In the application
Of an9sthetics preparatory to surgic-
al operation two advantages arise:
the avoidance of pain, and the pre-
yention of the expenditure Of reserved
energy in the patient. The depres-
sion from loss OF energy through pain
weakens the system, while its resery-
alton goes to the rccuperation Of the
patient.
But while the application Of an@s-
thetics as used in surgical operations
has been of immense benefit, suppress
sing pain, reseryiug energy and rend-
ering an operation more safe by its
use, the discoveries with reference
to germs as applied to the
healing of wounds are the
most wonderful and benefcient,
Since the close Of the great civil war
surgery has been reyolutionized. Gan
CREME erysipelas and blood poisoning
were so common in hospitals previous
to these recent discoveries and their
application that many operations
which are now absolutely safe, We're
| then almost sure to result fatally.
| Formerly any wound was expected to
| suppurate. result in running sore,
and a great deal of flesh contiguous to
| the wound to slough off before the
healing process commenceds But
with modern methods there is no
running or suppuratiOn, and no
sloughing. and consequently little
"scar." BY the application of disin-
fectants, scrupulous cleanliness and
possible care all germs are excluded
and the wound heals in few hours or
days. that formerly required months.
Certain specific operations that used
to require six months for successful
recovery, can now be secured by one
dressing and complete healing in one
| week. With the facilities for keeping
| germs from the missions the surgeon
| proceeds with confidence in the sue
| cessful results to dismember the
| human body. to remove internal
tumors: to open the abdomen, re-
move the intestines, cut out several
| feet and attach the shortened pieces,
| or unite the knots in them, operate
upon the lungs: open the pericardium
and the heart itself. The spleen and
| kidney have been inspected and re-
moved. Bones are broken to correct
deformity. The brain and spinal
| column have been laid bare and re-
| covery superyened. Even a broken
neck has been healed. Surgery has
become an exact science. Hospitals
