We showed in our book Atlantis, y
that the conventional value ascribed to
gold and silver was due. to the fact that
in the ancient days Of s,n-worship and
moon-worship, gold was regarded as the
especial metal of the sun, and silver as the
especial metal of the moon. Gold was OF
the bright color of the sun, and silver OF
the pale, white color of the moon. The
pagan priests bought gold and silver to
adorn the temples of the sun and moon
hence their value; and the ancient rela-
ton between them, of ten to one, was
because the sun was ten times as great a
god as the moon!
This pagan superstition still dominates
the unprogressive multitude, but the time
has come to cast it aside forever, with the
worship of the sun and the moon, out of
which they came.
The foregoing quotation shows that
gold is not money because of its superior
value, because while it is worth 5000 a
pound there are many other metals worth
much more:-one of them being worth
$4,000 a pound!
The suppression of this relic of sun and
moon worship will release mankind from
incalculable woes and sufferings.
Down with it! Il. D.

A SHAMEFUL PROPOSITION.
Read this and blush.

KeaQ THIS ana DluSn.
Washington, April 18.-(From a Staff
Correspondent)-It is reported that this
government is considering whether it is
cheaper to buy the Filipinos than it is to
shoot them. The real definition of the
conciliatory policy which is being limited
at in the press dispatches is that Aguin-
aldo and other rebel leaders are to be
bought off, This is part of the job of the
junta Of wealthy Filipinos. now being or
gained under American direction at Ma
Mia. The first thing to be learned is the
price OF the rebels. Action will then be
taken later.
The last congress. in two separate ap-
preparations of $1,000, COO each. set aside
$4,000, 900 for the unforeseen contingent
expenses OF the war department. 1t is
proposed to draw the money from these
funds.
The objection made to this plan is that
the wholesale bribery of rebels may in
duce them later on to 60 in the business
of revolving for the money there is in it.
In other words. as the experienced poll
tcian knows, there is no one so annoy
ing as the one who wilr not stay bought
In our rotten politics bribery has risen
to the dignity Of high art; and in the
sinking atmosphere of Washington. it
seems all right that the great Republic,
founded by Washington and Jefferson,
should win its victories over the poor,
half-naked Filipino. by bribing their lead
ers. If anything of the kind is really at
tempted, it will call up the execrations
of the whole civilized world. i. D.

EATING HORSE FLESH.

The Newcastle, Pa, Guardian has the
following headlines over an article, which
will give the reader an idea of the item
"A strange affair. A horse supposed to
be eaten by family named Black. who
were in poor circumstances. Health Off
Ger notified l see nothing strange
about it, though In these times of trusts
and prosperity the eating of horses is a
matter of course. on the part of the work
ing people. Would you have them starve?
Men have eaten each other when driven
to it by starvation. and eating horses is
hardly as bad as that The health officer
should arrest them. however, and fine
them for not peaceably starving In the
rich and prosperous state of Quay, who
only stole several hundred thousand and
hundreds of offices. it is meet that the
workers should have an object lesson.
How would it do to shoot them as was
done at Latimer? 1t might deter others
from eating horse meat and struggling
against starvation And this is the civil
zation all men should bow to in rever-
ence!- Coming Nation.
In Europe horse-hesh is very generally
used. A friend told us he had eaten
some in respectable restaurant in Paris.
The Chinese are on a metallic basis Gas
are all barbarous nations), and they have
long considered rats and mice a very
great delicacy. Our people can thank
the Lord that they have not yet gotten
down to the frisky rodents
The horse is cleaner than the cow,
and lives on the same food. He was
interdicted, as an article. of food, by the
early Christian church because horses
were the especial object of sacrifice to
the god OF the sea. Neptune. the Poseidon
of Atlantis, who was worshipped along
all the Atlantic coast. and especially in
the Scandinavian peninsula. The horse
feasts interfered with the progress OF the
new religion, and hence the church pro-
hibited horse-hesh altogether, and the
fool-people are always ready to accept
an order from those in authority without
knowing the reason for it.
But old customs sometimes survive. At
the coronation of the present king of
Denmark a grand banquet was had
when a white mare was roasted and
eaten. l. ID.

SENSIBLE.

The Faribault Jeffersonian says:
We like to look at the situation square,
ly in the face. From all directions,
whether from the good citizenship league,
the reform press association or from any
aggregation of reformers,, the universal
disposition is to get the reformers to-
gether in one solid phaanx for the con-
flict in 1000. This is easily SEEM 1t is
also easily seen that a mighty effort will
be made by the moneyed and corporate
interests to split the Democratic party in
twain. Ii downright buying of leaders in
every township in the United States is
necessary to accomplish their hellish de-
signs, money will be furnished like water
to do it. If they accomplish their end
as many wise men think they will, then
will come the opportunity of the Popu-
lists of the country to unite all true re-
formers into one party on platform
more in accord with general public senti-
ment than is the Chicago platform.
This is. we think, correct view of the
political situation:-s firmly by the
Omaha platform and the Peoples Party,
but hold out the hand of greeting to all
who would join or return to it.

One of the reforms the Peoples party
has been insisting upon for years. is that
a fair share of the members of the state

to both interests. /. D.

the United States must form an alliance

The wise, patriotic and statesman-like
Monroe doctrine contemplated America
freed from the menace and burdens of a
standing army and as means to that
end urged such national policy as would
create no necessity for one.
AT the close of Our revolution France
could have urged every reason for the
establishment of military despotism
over the American colonies that are now
urged in our attitude toward the Filipi-
nos. France had aided us in our struggle
for liberty and was our superior in all that
goes to civilization
From Frances point of view we were
then insurgents, rebels, guerillas, bush
whackers, and outlaws, but God was with
us just as He will be with the Filipinos or
any other people who reach that plane OF
intelligence where their ruling sentiment
is love of liberty Providence has not al
ways favored the strong, ambitious OPP
pressor, but has frequently been found on
the side of the weak and oppressed.
Our christian expansionists should re-
member that in the days of slavery they
were mistaken in what they assumed to
be the divine attitude and they may be
mistaken now ''r.
An occasional sympathetic thought for
those Filipinos who are in their own land
being hunted like foxes and shot down on
the run would change the sentiment OF
many prayer now sent up for the sue
cess of unrighteous invasion.

THE SUPERSTITION OF GOLD.

We find the following item in the daily
papers:
The expression worth their weight in
gold" is familiar one In the book of
standard quotations it is thus credited to
John Terrier: Nov cheaply bought
for thrice their weight in gold" 1t is
very generally believed that gold is rec
ognized as the most valuable of the pre-
cious metals, but such view of the mat
ter does not take into account the scien-
lists There has recently appeared, I'M
der warrant of the highest scientific au-
thority. a statement OF values based
upon the commercial price of various
rare metals-a statement which over
throws many previous fond notions. A
pound avoirdupois of gold is put in this
statement as worth 5000. A pound of
platinum is valued at $I44, and iridium at
SLIP. Alter these there is rapid descent,
according to scientists. to cobalt, worth
So pound; magnesium. worth $3.50;
bisnuth, worth $2.75; sodium, s.. so; man.
ganese, $I.1o. and aluminium, IS cents.
Then comes jump to chromium, worth
$500 pound, and palladium, worth $500.
Uranium is worth $3.50 and osnium is
worth $1,000 a pound. There may be
scattered about the community few per-
sons who are looking for bargains in
barium, which costs ST 900 a pound, or
for rhodium, which costs S., 500, or for
arium, which costs $1,000. Indium costs
$4,000, thorium $500 and rubidium So
500. These figures, however, may be said
to pale into ignihcance-if anything
connected with scientific discovery ever
pales into anything SO ntangble-when
compared with the value OF gallium,
which, according to the scientific stand
ard. is worth $4,000 pound
The apparent excess. of value OF the
other metals quoted over that of gold is
not due. it ought to be added, to their
superior intrinsic worth. but rather to
their exceptional rarity. Gold in general
use as money, in jewelry. for ornament,
and otherwise, is being constantly pro-
duced, whereas the more rare metals are
with difficulty found. and the occasional
demand for them gives them what may
be called an artificial value.

Them :
The storekeepers maintain that as they
have an unquestionable right to give re-
ceipts good in trade, it is immaterial
whether they are written on paper or
stamped on metal.
What is needed in this country is the
triumph of the Peoples party, which
takes the ground that no banking cor
poration has any right to issue money
to the people any more than it has to
control the army or navy of the United
States; that the people should issue their
own money and regulate the supply
thereof. and that that supply should be
as large in proportion to population as
it was at the close of the civil war, when
our farm lands were all free of mort
gage and there was work for every hon
est man at good wages. Now the ribs
OF the people are bare, while the money
lenders are pot-bellied with prosperity.
If you think this is true, go to work
and proselyte every soul you know, and
bring them into the Peoples party. We
have got through shouldering the record
of the Democratic party and can now
go forward to victory if we are only
true to ourselves. l. u.
