cHEAPNEss OF MONEY.
The COxey Yell In Wall Street and Its
Eject on the Adminfs-
tration.

A republican exchange, in dealing
with future events, says that it. is in
cumbent on gold democrats to "vote
the republican ticket, so as to make
more crushing the defeat of the cheap
money forces"
The cheap money forces! Really.
these republican editors seem to be
blind to the conditions all around
them They close their eyes to all
the information contained in their
daily market reports. They put their
fingers in their ears and refuse to lis
ten to facts. Compared with the most
important of the worlds commodities,
money was never cheaper in this coun-
try than it is to-day. The deprecated
greenbaek dollars would buy in 1870
more iron than the gold dollar COM
mands to-day Thus, as compared with
1894, we have a 50-cent dollar with re-
spect to cotton and with respect to cot
ton products, and a 30-cent dollar wit b
respect to iron.
In the face of conditions plain to
all, the republican editors go on de-
nouncing ''cheap money" in one breath
and applauding its results in the next.
''Cheap money is a delusion!" they cry,
and then add: Behold the prosperity
of the country"
Wall street recently took up what has
been called ''the Coxey yelr' and de-
mandeG more money because they
didn't want to see the stock market col
lapse under the influence of low prices
1.-THE CoNey yell," it seems, is a
horrible, an alarming affair, when
heard in the south and west, or among

the common people, but when the spec
ulators, the gamblers and the traders
take it up it becomes patriotic and fash
ionable. Not only so, the editors take
it up and remark that the situation is
critical, and the conservative financial
writer's who make it point to denounce
the demand for more money when it is
uttered by the people, begin to make
gloomy comments on the monetary
stringency," and say that they conf
IDENTIFY expect the government 10 come
to the relief of the market.
1t is treason for the people to ask
their own government to come TO
their relief, but, as we have said, the
CoNey yell becomes the rallying cry of
patriotism when it is uttered in the
sacred domain of Wall street. And the
government always responds. Recent
ly it issued gold certificates; still more
recently it announced its readiness to
redeem $25,00O.OOO worth of bonds, pay
ing 112A for bonds that Cleveland sold
for f03 and 104; and when expanding

tons of politeuess and consideration on

WHERE IS WILLIAM
The Administrator Wizard Is Not At
tending Strictly to His
Business.

1t behooves the big medieine man in
the white house to begin hammering
his gong and thus scare away the evil
spirits who are playing the dickens with
stocks and grain. A prosperity-maker
He must keep the wheels whizzing with
out moments respite or he is likely
to share the fate of Papuan idol, which
is worshiped and admired during pros
porous times, but which is incon tinent-
ly pulled from its pedestal and kicked
out of doors the moment misfortun es
begin to arrive. A joss must. keep up
his reputation or get into trouble. The
Canton wonder worker must get down
to business.
Since the 4th day of March, 1897, we
have been assured that good crops in
Dakota and poor crops in India, rain in
the United States and drought in Rus
STA were solely attributable to the
thaumaturgic powers of the inspired
one in the white house. ''Look at the
harvests!" we were told. Ibid you ever
see anything like them under a demo
cratic administration? Look at the
prosperity that is fairly breaking out
like a rash over all this broad land
Do you doubt any longer that William
is indeed the legitimate successor OF
Moses-that he viii lead you into a land
flowing with milk and honey?"
And if anyone .ventured to intimate
that a large proportion of the popula-
ton was not enjoying milk and honey
three times a day the answer always
came: ''Why, you ungrateful scoun

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

William j. Bryan notices that his
political enemies regret that he is not
a "hopper." He did. not learn states
manship in Canton, O.-Chicago Dem
ocrat.
while urging congress to take ac-
ton against unhealthful combinations
against trade, President Mckinley con-
tinues to hold to the fallacy of a high
tariff, which is the foundation of every
trust in the country.-Kansas City Star.
1t is already evident from the in
PRODUCTION of the Payne bill that the
Mark Hanna ship subsidy steal is to be
pushed at the present session of con-
gress. 1t is an essential part of the i'm
perial system to extend facilities for
fleeing the people both at home and in
the colonies.-Indianapo Sentinel.
We shall see whether or not the
republicans will have the courage or the
sense to put on the free list articles that
are monopolized by the trusts with the
aid of the high tariff rates. That would
be practical answer to the question of
whether they want to regulate the
trusts or not.-Peoria Herald.
If this congress appropriates
money up to the demands OF the various
departments Of government it will be
not merely billion-dollar, but nearly
a MISREPRESENTATION congress.
This is the work of Imperialism. It has
made the most extrayagant of recent
congresses models of moderation and
economy in the COMPREHENSIVE

upon a well-known chemist. He was nerv-
Gus as he put his hand in his pocket and
handed out a card.
: AZ represent that concern" said the
young man.
"You are fortunate" replied the chemist
The commercial traveller was encouraged and
said:
with us is even more so. Ny firm has the
finest line of cosmetics in the country"
'I shouldn't have thought it." slowly re-
sponded the man of medicine. "Her COM
.plexion looks natural"
And he handed back the photograph which
the young man had given him by mistake.
He took it and left without waiting to make
any farewell remarks.-London Tit-Bits.

Diamond. Mean Bread to Them.

The average mortal is accustomed
TO regard diamonds as connected only
with the highest luxury; but, in real
ity, they are q source of employment
for many thousands of people and
form the leading commerce for sever
al large European cities. Nearly all
of the diamonds come from Kimber-
ley and the recent stoppag' in the
output of the mines has baEkrupted
a number of European firms, while in
Antwerp hundreds of starving dia-
mond cutters are parading the streets
demanding bread

price of stocks! Can't you get along
without milk and honey so long as you
see that stocks are booming? Don't
talk about your pitiful necessities when
you can take a look at the stock list
and see that sugar trust advanced five
points yesterday. Go to. Wall street
is the nerve center of the country. If
it is prospecting you must be prosper
ing. If you say you aren't you're liar.
AT any rate, you are a democrat, which
is worse!"
But here we see Wall street itself
IN trouble. Stocks tumble and in SYM
pathy Herewith grain tumbles like
wise. In the house of representatives
Hon. Jonathan Dolliver burns incense
before the Canton joss-calls upon the
whole world to fall down and worship
nim as the most marvellous wonder
worker that ever came up the pike-and
at that very moment the holy of holes
Is in a panic-Wall street is eaten up
by bears as were the bad little boys
who jeered at the baldheaded prophet.
Stocks go off five, ten, twenty-five
points and wheat comes tumbling after.
Wild-eyed men run from bank to bank,
only to be cast into outer darkness
when they ask for loans on gilt-edged
securities. London calls for gold and
there is no gold. The devil is to pay and
there is not even any pitch hot. Where
is the joss and what is he doing at this
time of stress and trial? Why is he not
making medicine, beating his gong and
pronouncing eXorcisms against the evil
genii who are puncturing prosperity's
tire? Where is William the Wizard?
Where is he at?
These are momentous questions.
They require immediate answer. For
we repeat that a joss who sleeps on
duty is in imminent peril. He may be
mighty in all other respects, but if he
can't be relied upon to keep things
booming in Wall street his tribe is &C
cursed and his name is Mud. Let some
one kick the soothsayer in the ribs and
give him a tip that there is blood on
the moon.-Chicago Chronicle.

Education In Hawaii.

William T. Harris, commissioner OF
education, speaks highly of the edu-
cational system of the Hawaiian is
lands, which is, he contends, all that
can be desired. Of total population
of 109, 800 in those islands in 1895 the
number of pupils enrolled in the
schools was 1922, and nearly 81 per
cent. of these were native Hawaiians
Mr.. Harris says that in the public
schools OF the Spanish colonies and
protectorates it would be unwise to
try to substitute new schools in place
of the old ones.
