SCIENTIFIC MONEY.
The Best Money the World Ever Saw Is
Government Paper Money Bot
toned ON Taxes.

The letter sent out recently by Henry
Clews & Co., New York bankers. would
hardly seem to indicate that the money
question was settled; or if it is, that it
is satisfactory. The letters says
there are evident symptoms that the
supply or circulation is falling short of
the requirements of our large increased
business 1t is true there has been an
increase of money in circulation. but
this increase consists of gold which is
almost entirely unavailable for active
use in trade" and it goes on to appeal
to the government to take the bankers
gold and give them gold certificates, so
that their gold can be put in circula-
ton.
This Is but one more proof that pa
per money is the only scientific money
the only money that is handy and
useful to all. Is not the populist right
and practical when he says the best of
all money would be the old greenback
with the redemption and custom re-
strictions removed, backed up by the
faith and wealth of the whole nation?
Silver is good for small coin and
small payments; gold, at present, is
needed for foreign exchange and can
be used handily for bank reserves, but
the real money that everyone wants for
business is the paper money, and few
indeed ever look to see what kind of
paper money it is.
The letter also says: There seems to
be no hope of the demand for more cur
rency being met through an increase of
note issues by the national banks. for
during the first quarter of the current
year the banks withdrew over SC. O0O.-
600 of bonds deposited for circulation -
If our money was issued by the general
government there would be no such
limitation of issues by bonds. but the
real limitation would be the needs of
the people"
And still the committee appointed by
the last congress was at Atlantic City
trying to formulate some plan to report
to the next congress to commit this
country more thoroughly to the gold
standard. ''-Sledgehammer.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
The Value of a Franchise Is Created by the
Community and Belongs to All the
People Equally.

Glasgow has enjoyed the benefits of
the municipal ownership of quasi-pub-
lie utilities for period of about 40
years.
Experiment has long since become a
proved success and the people of Glas-
gov have every reason to rejoice at the
results.
During the 40 years of corporate
management the people of Glasgow
have been saved in water rates alone
over $7,500 900, to say nothing of the
improved service which has been given
them.
Equally excellent results have been
secured in regard to the gas depart
ment. The price of gas has been re-
duced more than one-half and the
method of service vastly improved.
In regard to the street car depart
ment the same conditions of superior
service and reduced price exist, and it
is estimated that through municipal
management of these three depart
ments the citizens have been saved at
least SIS, ZOO, 600 during the last 80 years.
In London the county council is 60
ing to establish a six-day week for the
employees of the South London street
car system, as well as raise the wages
of the lower grades. Nor is this all,
as it remains to be stated that street
car fare has been reduced one-half.
Thus through municipal ownership
the service has been improved, millions
of dollars saved for the people in re-
duced taxation and the employees have
been given shorter hours of work and
better wages. But republicans say
that municipal ownership will never
do for the United States.-Chicago

Not Gods Fault.

God did not ask you before He created
you whether or not you wanted to
come to this earth, did He? He didn t
ask me. Well now, really, don't you
think it was mean in Him to force you
to come to earth, and endow you with
an appetite and not provide you with an
opportunity to supply yourself with
food? Had He done such thing it
would have been mean, but He didn't.
It was not Gods fault that you are
homeless and hungry. The fault lies
elsewhere. God gave it to you and
Rockefeller stole it from You, and yet
this old thief insults God Almighty by
claiming to be in partnership with
him.-Living Issues.

Alabastine is a permanent coating
for walls and ceilings, designed to take
the place of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. 1T
is practically stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint, but much less ex-
pensive, and is applied just as easily by
anyone. 1t can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with
kalsomine brush. 1t is clean, healthful.
and economical. Every one of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such. by the test of twenty years,
is picked up by every new manufac-
turer of ordinary kalsomine and claimed

surd on their face. Alabastine alone

LINCOLN'S TREASON.
If Alive Abra ham Lincoln Would he Called
Traitor by the Mckinley I'm
perialists.

No man is good enough to govern another
man without that others consent. When the
white man governs himself that Is self govern
ment; but when he governs himself and also
governs another man. that is more than self
government-that is deSpotiSm. Our relia nce
is in the love of liberty which God has planted
in us: our defense is in the spirit which prizes
liberty the heritage of all men in all lands
everywhere. Those who deny freedom to others
deserve it not for themselves. and under just
God cannot long retain it.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The above extract from the writings
of the great emancipation has recently
been published. 1t sends the cold chills
down the back of every imperialist. 1t
silences all the expansion batteries.
The most heroic man of the century
says that liberty is the heritage of all
men in all lands. everywhere. White
men, black men, brown memo race
is left out, no color is under the ban.
A Filipino is just as much entitled to
ibery as a Yankee. Lincoln says in
substance, that the Americans, who
deny liberty to the Asiatics, deserve it
not for themselves and under a just
God cannot long retain it. 1t is ''far
cry from the republicanism of Lincoln
to that of Mckinley. Lincoln gave
freedom to 5000. 600 of slaves. McKin-
ley is trying to make slaves of 5000, 600
freemen. -Nonconformist.

The republicans say they are opposed
to trusts and that. they will incorporate
an antitrust plank in their next ma
tional platform. If they are sincere
why wait so long to show their faith
by their works? A law of congress is
better than a convention resolution.
You say you are going to do something
next year. Why don't you do it now?
You have both houses of congress, the
president and the supreme court. You
can pass any law you please and the
supreme court will decide the law con-
stitutional. There is an open road be-
fore you, nothing to prevent you from
destroying the trusts. If you don't do
it at the next session of congress, it is
because you don't want it done and if
you do nothing then. everybody will
know that your platform resolution is
a fraud and lie-Nonconformist.
