No centnrv Of Women.

The ttirty-second annual convention
of the N. A. w. S. A. will be held in
Washington, in the Church Of Our
Father, February S-14 inclusive.
The nineteenth century was called by
the poet-prophet. Victor Hugo, "The
Century OF Women" Since the dawn
Of history exceptional women have
demonstrated By their high abilities as
inventors, skilled workers. poets. art-
lists, teachers and rulers that in the do
main Of intellect woman was not under
the ban Of nature, but under those Of
statute and custom. But for the mass
of women the nineteenth century has
been the only epoch in history which
has given them rights as women or
opportunities as human beings.
To state the difference in the position
Of women in all fields Of activity be-
tween what 1t was at the beginning Of
the century and is now at its close.
would be to present series Of brilliant
transformations surprising the magic
creations Of Aladdin's lamp.
The way up the heights Of woman's
advancement has been long, and steep,
but 1t has not been dreary. The con-
sciousness OF giving the world a for
ward movement along the path Of lib
erty is the highest reward vouchsafed
to human effort. The greatest men Of
the century have walked with us, Poets
have sung for US; prophets have In
spired US with visions of success;
statesmen have made courts and for
ums ring with eloquence in our behalf.
stones have blossomed into roses;
scorn has become applause; tImidity,
opposition and indifference have chang
ed into a grand chorus Of appeal for
woman's equality before the law.
Let US then close the nineteenth CEN
fury With convention which shall be
jubilee for our successes and prcpar-
alton for the twentieth century, which
is to be not mans. nor woman's, but
humanItys

So far has this condition already
advanced that to-day you can count
on your fingers the few persons who
control the great mass of wealth of
this country and who hold the pro-
ducing masses at their mercy.
But given an honest dollar and q
common sense practical business our

people will he the richest, freost,

tion tho richest, strongest and no.

notwithstanding.
I have not attempted to elaborate
this idea in this article, but throw
out tho suggestion at this time as
food for thought for my fellow suf-
ferers, under tho present unhappy
condition of things and l ask them
to ponder over it.
Remember, 1st, money is not val
ue, but measure of value and q
medium of exchange only; I'd, is the
prcrogative of government TO furnish
this measure of value, and that the
intrinsic commodity value of the
article on which it stamps it's fiat,
has nothing to do with it,; Sd, that
gold and silver are not in any sense
precious metals, but on the contrary,
have less intrinsic value than iron,
copper, or lead, and that the present
excessive value given TO them, is due
to their use as money metals 4th,
that gold as basis for currency, is
n false basis, and that redemption in
gold is a rank fiction, because there
is not in tho world gold enough to
redeem the hundredth part of the
currency said to be redcemable in
gold, and that it can be easily cor
nered by speculators, as wo have had
the spectacle before lis in the last
administration to the distress and
ruin of our people 5th, remember
that, after all, our people arc SOW

trade, when needed.
But how are we to get this money
into circulation2 Easy enough
Call in our present currency and put
out the new legal tenders in ex-
change. Do away with national
banks and make banking free. Let
the bankers continue their banking
operations on their own capital if
they desire, instead of getting inter-
est from the nation on their whole
capital and having 90 per cent of it
in national bank notes to do business
with. Thus we would refund a large
block of bo. held by the national
banks, at a lower rate of interest, and
the people, instead of paying interest
on the banking capital of the country
would be relieved of it, and whatever
interest was paid would be paid to
themselves and the bankers would
be really better off, doing business
on their own capital, independently,
and using only the peoples legal
tender notes.
How about our bonds held abroad ?
We would pay them exactly as
nominated in the bond, unless the
holders preferred our legal tender
currency, in which case we might, as
a favor to our foreign friends, COLI
sent to give them our legal tender,
which they could convert at will into
2 per cent interest bearing bonds, if
business enterprises would not pay
them better.
Would you set any limit to the
amount of this legal tender issue ?
Most certainly. Secretary Chase,
during the Civil War, came pretty
near giving us tho right sort of cur
rency, but, unfortunately, it was not
made fully legal tender, not being
receivable for duties on imports OF
for interest on tho public debt. Yet
with this great fault, it was tho best
currency tho country ever had, and
from the close of the war in 1866
until 1878, whom we "returncd to
specie payment" the country en-
joycd such an era Of prosperity as
was never dreamed of.
Had we gone forward to specie
payment, by making the greenbacls
an absolute legal tender, this would
have continued, but the "goine
back" caused "Blaok Friday" and
ruin to tho masses, whilo millions
were made by the speculating mani.
pulators of the scheme. At that
time the amount of currency was
about $45 for each person in the
land. / would take tho last census
and limit tho issre to $50 per capita
and keep it thore, increasing with
