MONEY is an engaging subject at all
times. 1t is something nobody yet
has had enough Of, and the supply
in the hands of the great majority
is go sadly inadequate that q con.
tinual agitation is kept up on this
disturbing question. But now We are
promised relief, and more thorough
equalization is expected to follow if
Uncle Samuel will only put into prac-
tice the suggestions made by William
A. Meyers. He would have the gov
eminent purchase every ounce Of gold
or silver bullion produced, and issue
therefor gold and silver certificates
as q circulating medium. For ex-
| ample, a dollar will always buy
dollars worth Of bullion, whether
| the price Of bullion be high or low;
consequently there will be no fuctua-
ton in it's value. Every dollar of
this primary money will be full
legal tender for all domestic CONNER
cial obligations. All bullion will be
ia tn form Of bars, as being prefer
cradle to that in the form of coin for
the purpose of settling international
differences. The new currency, how
ever, being acceptable in this coun-
try, all differences will be settled by
means Of the national circulating
medium. The above is but mea
ger outline OF Mr.. Meyers system,
which he believes would do away
with the large money centers, equaliz-
ing the wealth throughout all sec.
tions of the country, and be the ba-
sis for the complete humiliation
OF all the present money "isms" with
which the country abounds. Mr.
Meyers little book is entitled "Mon
ey From a New Point of View" and
has the merit of originality and ingen
lousness.

TIE speech of Senator Spooner on
the constitutions power of the gov
eminent to acquire foreign territory
not intended for statehood, as we'll
as his views against the policy of ex-
pansion, has secured widespread at
tention from the thoughtful and con-
sentative men of the nation. His
argument in favor of the first propo
sition is a logical and conclusive
proof Of the power conferred by the
constitution on the government to
acquire foreign territory under the
conditions above cited, and his
reasons for opposing anything like
permanent expansion should tend to
put stop to a policy which Is
laden with much danger to the fu-
ture welfare of the country. The
senator's estimation Of the lingo"
patriotism of lot of half tiedged
statesmen is also we'll pointed. His
speech will meet the approval Of a
large majority Of his Wisconsin con-
stituents.

THE BARRIERS union of Wisconsin
has had bill introduced in the legis-
lature limiting the number of appren-
tices and compelling all journeymen
to pass an examination and pay 81
for the glorious privilege of being per
mitted to work for a living. By
and by they will be "gallivanting''
around the state looking for the
board of examiners. Railroad com
panies and hotels should begin to in
crease their accommodations. 1t will
cost the "boys" little "stuff" and
some loss of time; but they wont
mind that. But what right has the
legislature to limit the number Of ap.
prentices any artisan may wish to
employ? 1t seems too ridiculous for
serious consideration.

LAGRIPPE IS
CONTAGIOUS
Disease Proved Beyond Question to be
nfectious.-Is Rapidly Con-
quering the Country.

La Grippe is a contagious dis
ease. Its specific germ has been
positively identified, and it is
transmitted from person to per
son either by direct contact OF
by inhaling the germs while
they float in the air. It is a
dangerous disease, lowering the
vitality and wasting the resistive
power SO that pneumonia, heart
disease, nervous prostration and
insanity find easy victims. No
specific is known that will kill
the Grip germ, but it may be
driven out and it's effects over
come by the prompt use Of DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine.
LA Grippe left my nervous
system so racked and shattered
that [ could not sleep and for
two months was under the in
fuence of narcotics. Physicians
and friends gave me up to die;
but in two days after [ COM
menced taking DR.. Miles Res
torative Nervine I began to i'm
prove. and in months time |
was entirely cured. It is the
greatest health restorer on
earth"

been pretty fierce and resulted in con
