custom to tender to the judges and clerks
and those Interested Immediately in the
election a dinner at the noon hour. Yes
teriay when his judges. clerks and watch
crs learned that the Vice-President had
expressed a wish to cast a ballot as usual
it was suggested hat for a brief period of
time they might remove the polling place
to tho Hobart residence, The election Of
ficials both democratic and republican
were perfectly willing to adopt the sug-
costio1 but it as found upon Investigation
that an Arrangement of this sort would be
illegal and that the entire election in this
particular precinct might be iuValidatcd.
Consequently the arrangement was regret
fully abandoned.
hr. Newton said tonight ne was greatly
pleased at the Improvement of Mr.. IIo-
bart and wished the Improvement could
be permanent. He says. however, the

WHY TIMES ARE "EASlER."
The Power That Rests In National
banks II Danger to the Country.

ANA AASAtS Al NlVlOuSk
banks IL Danger to the Country.
The struggle for gold is the most
pltlful spectacle Of our civilization.
Why is it, Simply because gold has
been placed upon a pedestal by which
1T commands all other forms of wealth.
Men do not freeze and starve in Alaska
for gold, but for what they can COM
mand with gold. Gold means every
thing that can be purchased. Platinum
Is more valuable per ounce than gold,
but you never heard of a platinum
fever causing thousands of men to
risk life and limb in the most desolate
regions of the earth simply because the
price of platinum is not bolstered up by
law. 1t is not money. By means of al
most s"uperhuman efforts in the gold.
fields the production of gold is gradual.
ly increasing, and things are getting
easier. Most thinkers believe that the
change is due to the increased produce
ton Of gold. resulting in more money.
This is a very small factor. The in
crease in bank loans and bank credit is
what is DOING the business. The banks
can thus make easy times Or hard times
at their pleasure.
Mr.. Albert Griffin Of Topeka has sent
me an exhaustive table from official
sources, showing the vast increase il
this "hocus pocus money" as he calls
it-that is. bank credit. He is waiting
for later reports before publishing the
table. when we will present the exact
facts. In a recent letter to me Mr..
Griffin says: "lt may surprise even you
to learn that the national banks of New
York city have every dollar of their
capital, surplus, undivided profits, un-
paid dividends, bank notes and more
than SIG, OOO. 900 Of their depositors'
money invested in bonds, stocks. real
estate. etc, and yet, with $40. 900. 900
less than anything to lend, they were.
on Sept. IS last, drawing interest on
$441, 600, 600 Of commercial loans and
observation-disclosures Of money that had alb
solutely no eXistence-and their condi-
ton IS IL great deal worse now than
then"
l think there is a much better solu.
ton of the money question than the
free coinage of silver. But would it not
be better to have a real money in cir.
culation than this mythical money
made by the juggling art of the ..tinan-
ciersT AT once some one says, ''But
silver would give us "a so cent dollar. ,"
Would not the demand that brings this
mythical nothing to par bring a real
and tangible silver dollar to par2 The
substance of which the dollar is made
is not important, but their number
should be right-sufficient for the de-.
mands of business and the maintenance
of prices and no more-and they should
all be issued by the general govern
ment. That there are not enough real
dollars in existence for the demands of
business. is proved by the above men
toned Juggling in order to meet the de
mands Of business and for which the
bankers collect an enormous tribute.
What If they were called upon to liqui-
datef Then the deficiency of real money
would be painfully apparent.-Dr. c.
f. Taylor in Medical World.

MONEY ORDER SAVINGS.
System Attacked by HI Savingr
Banks-The Express Robbers.

system Attacked by the Savings
B"nks-The Express Robbers.
1t has been a custom for year for
people of limited means to invest their
savings in money orders. A man with
a little money which he did not want
to trust in a savings bank and who did
not want to carry it about with him
would go to the postofice and buy a
money order payable to himself, know
ing that he could get it whenever he
wanted it.
That is to say, with highwaymen on
the one hand and savings banks on the
other. the man with money very nat
urally turned to Uncle Sam.
The custom constantly increased till
it assumed huge proportions.
1t was a source Of revenue to the
government, for there is profit in the
money order business.
But the bankers did not like it, nor
did the highwaymenl
So the bankers (the highwaymen did
not have gall enough) induced the gov
srnment to change the laws governing
the Issuance of money orders, 80 that
now. as we understand it, a man can
not get a money order payable to his
own orderl
The intention, Of course, is to drive
men to invest in savings banks
In other words, it is a scheme solely
in the interest Of savings banks.
Hereafter it is simply a choice be.
tween robbers-r robbers with guns or
robbers with records Of "high moral
standing" Their ''pals'' are govern
ment servants who changed the law.
OF course there are various WAYS Of
beating the law. For instance, a man
may get some friend or some member
OF his family to buy the money order,
or he can buy it himself and have it
payable to some friend and then get his
friend to assign it to him.
Another instance where the govern
ment has done some of the same sort
OF dirty work for the benefit Of CORPORA.
tons is in the matter of express o
ordera 1t imposed a tax Of 2 cents on
express money orders, and then, in or
der not to take advantage of the ex-
press companies as q competitor, it
raised the ratio on postal money orders
2 centsi And here is where the s'joker'
comes 1n-the express companies make
the patron pay the 2 cents for the stampl
Now. what Uncle Sam ought to do is
to serve notice on the express companies
that unless they pay the tax themselves,
instead Of compelling the patron to pay
it, he will reduce the postal money or.
der rate down to a point where not a
singIe express money order will be pur-
chased. In other words, unless the ex-
press companies submit to the duty Of
bearing their share of the wal tax the.
government should drive them ont Of
the money order business.
But. of course, nothing of. the kind.
will be done, for is. not the government
run for the benefit Of bankers and rich
corporations 2-Norton's Monthly.

His HHIr Turned RlacL-

There have been several instances Of
a mans hair turning from white to
black. One of the most notable perhaps
was that of on engineer in the fire de-
partment of Louisville, His age was
85, and he was on duty during a ire
mendQus fire for Is consecutive hours.
The spray was constantly flying from
the hose, and he became, in consequence
OF the lowness of temperature of the
atmosphere, covered from head, to foot
with ice. He wore a skullcap and a
helmet on the top of that, SO that his
head was the warmest part of his body
and not at all exposed, though his eye
brows and whiskers became wet and
were frozen stiff. The afternoon after
the exposure his hair, which had be-
come gray eight years before and had
for three years been white, turned per-
fectly black. Louisville Post.
