THE TRADE DOLLAR
Holders by Destroying Its
Usefulness.

This dollar was authorized by the
act of February IL, 1873. When the
standard dollar was dropped from coin
age this dollar of 420 grains troy was
provided for. 1t was intended for cir
culation in oriental countries, espe-
cially China. Its legal tender power
was limited to five dollarsin the United
States. It will be seen that 1t con-
tanned IA grains more pure silver than
the daddy dollar" On July %, 1879,
its legal tender quality was withdrawn,
and its coinage was limited to such
quantities as the secretary Of the treas
ury should deem sufficient to meet the
export demand. The total number
coined under this act was $35, 965, 924.
By reading the act of February 10,
1887, it will be observed that for q
period of six months the trade dol
lar, If not defaced, mutilated or
stamped, might be exchanged for like
amount, dollar for dollar, Of standard
silver dollars, or Of subsidiary coins
of the United States. ALI trade dollars
thus redeemed by the government
should not again be paid out, but
should be transmitted to the coinage
mints and be recoined into standard
silver dollars or subsidiary coin at the
discretion of the secretary Of the treas
ury. But the trade dollars recoined
were not to be counted as part OF the
silver bullion required to be purchased
end coined into standard dollars by
act of February %, 1878. After the ex-
piraton of the six months in which
trade dollars would be redeemed, the
government paid bullion prices for
all that were presented. 1t was a
bunko game from start to finish on the
part of the government. In the first
place an extra amount of silver was put
In the dollar, which was a swindle on
the bullion owner. In the second place,
while it contained more silver than the
standard dollar, It's legal tender power
was limited, which was intended to de-
stroy it's usefulness. In the third place,
instead of limiting their exchange to
six months it ought to have been in
definite. Many people had to sell them
at discount. And in the fourth
place, the government was the gamer
because it got more than it gave in
exchange. The bill was never approved
by the president. It became a law be-
cause it was not returned to the house
In which it originated within ten days
the time prescribed by the constitu-
tion Of the United States.

1t must be a pleasure to to run a
newspaper in Wilcox. The people of
that neighborhood are SO thoughtful.
They persist in furnishing the local
editors with potatoes and horse feed
and cabbages and words of good
cheer, to say nothing of paying their
subscriptions in advance. Every
farmer who trades in Wilcox calls at
the Herald Office and brings in news
items or vegetables or something Of
value. and the most valuable things
are The words of friendship and good
cheer.
Everybody calls every body else by
given name out in this country. Bill
meets John and asks after Mary and
the babies, and then John asks how
Susan and the babies are, and they
talk about the weather and the crop
outlook and the political situation
and the war. When ttey art they
shake hands and John says: "Give
my love to Susan and the little ones"
And Bill: II will; give my love to
Mary and the little folks"
All this makes a city fellow fee!
good. People who live in a city do
not know their nearest neighbors
and seem afraid to make their ac-
quaintance, fearing that they might
want to borrow sievefull of flour or
a cup of sugar. After a city man has
been out among the country people
for while he breads the idea of
going home and wants to remain
where people are sociable, good
natured and not rushing themselves
to death after the almighty dollar.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Value of the Property Declared
to BE Valid.

In the case of the Sioux City Termi-
nal company of Sioux City VS.. the Trust
Company of North America the United
States supreme court has affirmed the
opinion of the circuit court of appeals
for the Eighth circuit. The case in
volved the validity of mortgages given
by the terminal company, one of which
amounted to $1,200,o0o. There was an
effort to have the mortgages voided un-
der the state law forbidding the giving
of mortgage for sum greater than
the value of the property covered. This
point was overruled on the ground that
the decisions of the Iowa courts did not
sustain this cons truction.

"who Is to Blame Z.

The ministers of all Protestant
Evangelical churches preached on
a recent Sunday on 'Lawlessness
in Keokuk-Who Is to Blame?" This
concerted action was taken to
stir up the Christian people to
better a condition of affairs no worse
than in other cities of the same size.
The consensus of opinion in all of the
sermons was that individuals are re-
sponsible for any evil conditions; that
the city will be just as bad as the indi-
viduals making it will that it shall be.
No sensational charges or statements
were made.

E
claims, public buildings, rivers, har-
bors, Bowman act claims, and hun
dreds of other projects, some meri-
torious, but many of them not enti-
tied to recognition by the national
government. In nearly every branch
of the civil service of the government
there has been an increase of appro.
priations. The time has come to re-
form the scale of national expendi-
lures. The reckless lmprovidence of
the outgoing congress will at least
serve the good purpose of arrousing
the people and of causing them to
send representatives to the national
capital who will reduce the burdens
imposed by riotous appropriations"

A prize of $1,000 offered by New
York newspaper at the beginning of
1898 for the most correct prophecies of
what would happen during the ensuing
year was taken by man who said there
would be a successful war with Spain,
republican governor elected in New
York and a bill passed to annex Ha-
wall. But he also predicted the abdica-
ton of Queen Victoria, the death of
the pope and war between Russia and
Japan. If this is the best the prophets
can do their forecasts are no better
than commonplace guesswork. The
winner was well paid, considering his
numerous failures.
