The price OF thing is generally
what it is worth, competition
regulates that. The higher the price,
the better the quality as rule; but
price doesn't always guarantee
quality, the reputation Of the seller

THE smallness of the man at the
head of this government is again
displayed by his refusing to issue
to w. J. Bryan commission in the
army. We do not know that Bryan
would have accepted, and really
hope he would not, but it would
have been but a matter of courtesy
for Mckinley to have rendered him
the commission. He was probably
afraid that if Bryan went to the
front and came home alive he
would have gained a little popular
lily. We hope Bryan will not mix
up in the fight. His loss would be
a calamity to this country which
would be hard to bear. We need
him at home to help free the white
slaves in this country from the yoke
of the money powers, and in doing
this he is accomplishing more good
for the country than will be gained
by the freeing of the Cubans from
the murderoGs hand of the Span
iards. May it please, the ruler of
the universe to allow Fitzhugh Lee
to come out of this scrap with a
whole skin, also, for although he be
a gold Democrat, he is brave man,
and this country is now sadly in
need of man brave in mind as well
as in deed. 1t takes brave man to
oppose the concentrated forces of
money in this country nowadays.

Why NOT BE mONEsTg

of silver bullion in the treasury be-
longing to the government as seign-
forage? Both Houses of Congress
passed law in Cleveland's admin
istration to issue silver certificates
on this bullion and coin it into sill
yer dollars. Republicans and Dem
ocrats voting for the bill. Cleveland
vetoed it because it was not in the
interest of gold monopoly. Every
body knows that the silver certifi-
Gates in circulation are the best
money we have. They are not ex-
ported in time of war. They stay
at home and fight our battles. More
than half the money in actual cir
culation to-day consists of silver
coin and silver certificates. The
coinage value of the silver now in
the treasury of the United States,
in round numbers, is about $780,
100000; the silver certificates and
Sherman notes redeemable in liver
dollars amount to about $50O,0O0,-
600. Ifsilver certificates were is
sued equal to the coinage value of
the silver on hand $5O,00O,OO0
would Immediately go into the treas
ury. Besides, it is not necessary to
have dollar for dollar to enable the
government to redeem outstanding
silver certificates. Two for one could
be issued with perfect safety. If
the government would make the
silver certificates a full legal tender
and require the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue from time to- time
such an amount of certificates to
the extent necessary to meet the
obligations of the government and
carry on the war, we would have
great prosperity at home by the ill.,
crease in the volume of money. This
would not load the people with
more bonds and more taxation, and
deprive them of money with which
to pay taxes, as proposed by the
Dingley bill.
If the Republican goldites, how
ever, are determined to ignore sill
yer, why not issue $200,000,000 or
$300,000,000 Of greenbacks to meet
the exigencies of war, as was done
between 1861 and 1865, and as had
been done from time to time when
the government required money,
from the administration of Jefferson
down to the administration of Lin
coin? Why add to the horrors of
var the horrors of increased taxa
ton and further contraction?
We understand perfectly well
that the Dingley-Ga scheme is to
be urged on Congress under plea
of patriotism, but it is the duty of
every patriot to prevent, if possible,
the consummation of this scheme of
spoliation. We do not charge Mr.
Dingley and his Republican asso-
ciates with bad motives. Trey un-
doubtedly think it is good thing
for the people to be taxed, good
thing for the government to be
bonded, and that the people really
have no rights which concentrated
wealth does or ought to respect.
They believe as firmly in bank
monopoly, bank rule, and gold
standard contraction as their pho
totypes believed in the fatworld
theory and in the duty of Christians
to kill witches. They are just as
conscientious in killing the pros.
perity of the country and enslavine
the people as the divines and Judges
were when they tortured witches te
