A false basis Of credit has been set
up through the power Of a creditor
class and nearly the whole world has
been forced upon this basis. II gov
ernment offers a bond for sale this
creditor class does not ask What are
the resources of this government? Are
its people wealthy? Are they active
and progressive in business and able
and willing to sustain their govern
ment in meeting its obligations?" But
they ask viii this government pay
gold? All the great wealth Of the
American republic is worthless with
out promise, direct or implied, to
pay gold"
Suppose the same rule were applied
to fixing the individual basis Of credit,
how long would the commercial struc-
ture stand the strain? When the cred
itor class succeeds in getting gold in all
government bonds Of all the nations.
in all evidences of debt, the day OF
foreclosure against practically all the
wealth of the world will wait upon

Conditions of Life Getting Easier In tho
Great Gold Camp.
Dawson City is getting to have many
Of the earmarks of civilization. 1t Is.
connected now with the outside world
by telegraph; 1t Is making Its own
brick; 1t Is preparing to have Its own
schools; 1t has stood up and been
counted; 1t is getting fresh beef, NUT
ton and pork, and everybody seems to
be happy. Vice-Consul Morrison re-
ports that the Canadian government
telegraph line, from Bennett to Daw-
son, 600 miles, with a branch to Atlln
from Bennett Of rs miles, is completed
to Dawson, at reported cost of less
than $13O000 Connection is made at
Bennett with the line of the White'
Pass railroad to Skaguay, 40 miles,
messages being forwarded from Ska
quay by first steamer to Vancouver,
thence by Canadian Pacific wire to-
destination. Rates as now established
for the United States range from $4,S5
to SAFE for ten words, and from 23 TO
q cents for each additional word, No
arrangements have yet been made for
the transfer of money by wire, The
population of Dawson is set down as
4,445 1850 male and 7S6 female) and
1853 children under IA years Of age.
OF the inhabitants Of Dawson, 3,205
are from the United States, Gas from
Canada and 200 from England, the
remainder scattering. 1t is estimated
that 1000 people left for Cape Nome
district from August 26 to September
26. The question Of food supplies no
longer agitates the community. In
addition to ample stocks Of canned
goods, there is an abundance Of fresh
beef, mutton and pork, and plenty Of
fresh vegetables. There are also in
the market wild swan, geese, ducks,
ptarmigan, grouse, Arctic hare, squir-
rels, beaver, bear moose and caribou.
Boots, shoes and clothing are much
lower in price than last year.

Thought We Know"

We are evidently learning few
things we thought we knew, but did
not. The Springfield (Mass.) News
thus puts 1t:
When the campaign of 1896 was
waged on the financial issue the argu-
ments offered on either side were
chiefly theoretical. Each side had its
theory and the popular mind was at
loss. The fact that the vast majority
Of the financial men, and business in
terests proclaimed that gold was the
proper thing counted for enough to
turn the scale against Bryan. But
we are getting our facts very fast now,
and surplus Of painful practical ex-
perience, to absolutely prove that our
currency under the single standard
basis is woefully insufficient to do busi-
ness with. Our very start towards
prosperity brings the proof to every
mans personal knowledge; currency
which is not adapted to prosperity is
not the currency for our country. The
gold standard Is tight about our neck;
we cannot grow, we cannot even
breathe under its unyielding pressure.
We must burst the bonds or our pros
perity will be choked to death"

THE MAN WITH THE GUN.

Il am the man with the gun,
And straddle the man with the hoe,
Though the sun beats hot or tho chill
winds blow,
Though his back be bent and his gar
ments be rent,
Though his back be bent and his
breath be spent
From earliest morn till the sun goes
low,
Through the long, long night till the
day gods glow,
l ride him a race at a death-dealing
pace,
o I ride him a race to his last resting
place,
And care not for friend and care not
for foe,
So long as straddle the man with the
hoe
For I am the man with the gum"

customers she resorted to various ex-
pedients, II hat was. included In the
order, Instead OF buying II ready

herself, charging nothing for her work.
This, however, was only necessary

them all by calling on her brother-in-

she filled her orders. All who had tried
her recommended her to their friends,
From the first she made enough to

Prof. H. A. Hazen records that on
one occasion he walked down to tho
edge Of Lake Michigan in the face OF
a strong wind. Although he was in
perfect physical condition, within five
minutes he had every symptom Of q
very hard cold. This severe influenza
continued until, on walking away from
the lake, 1t disappeared as by magic
when he had gone less than 500 feet.
He then learned that hundreds Of resi-
dents had been compelled to move
back from the shore to escape influ-
enza. He ascribed the effect to the
abundance Of ozone in the air at the
edge Of the lake. He has accumulated
many instances Of persons Of nervous
temperament who cannot sleep dur
ing the passage Of high pressure areas
in the atmosphere. The cause in this
case is obscure.

markets, all legitimate industry Is in
juSed and in the struggle between the
bulls" and bears" the entire public
suffers.
One OF the favorite methods for beat
Ing down prices is to create a stringen-
cy In the money market, and thus force
men to sell In order to raise money at q
time when money is scarce, and, there
fore, buyers few.
1t Is C natural law that II men are
compelled to sell to raise cash at a
time when cash is scarce, they will
have to sell at low price because buy
ers will be few, II so great a financial
stringency can be created that a large
number will be forced to sell, under
such circumstances prices will go way
| down.
or course a financial stringency af-
fects all classes Of goods and all the
people.
The bears who visa to force down
the price Of wheat will create fnan-
cial strlngency, or, II possible, flnan-
cial panic and so force down the price
Of all articles, causing ruin and dis
tress to thousands and the loss of mil
lions of dollars In order that out Of the
ruin they may reap few dollars,
Their plan is like that of the men
who will cause the wreck of q great
ship in order that they may gather
some of the tribes that are washed
ashore.
The recent panic in Wall street,
which caused losses amounting to hun
dreds Of millions and checked the in
dustries Of the entire country, was
brought about by some men who want
ed to buy some valuable stock at less
than 1t was worth. They accomplished
their end by seizing the opportunity to
create a money stringency so severe
that 1t precipitated panic.
They reaped rich harvest for them
selves, and Of course the holders OF the
stock were defrauded of an eqral
amount. But In accomplishing this,
ruin was brought on many who were in
no way interested in the stocks in
question, and every industry in the
country was more or less injured.
The key to the whole nefarious busi-
ness is in the ability Of spectators to
create money stringency-to make 1t
difficult for men to secure money when
1t is needed.
money in New York during the panic
is shown by the fact that rates of in
terest ran up as high as one half per
cent day, or over 1870 per cent year.
And this rate was paid by men who
had the best security to offer.
AS the key to this business is the
ability to create money stringency, so
the remedy and only remedy is the
adoption Of system under which 1t
will be impossible for any man or any
combination Of men to prevent other
men from getting money when they
need 1t and have the proper security to
offer.

an injury to all except the very few
who come out winners in those gam
bling transactions.
No wealth is created, no honest in
dustry Is served; the business Is gam
bling pure and simple, and is no better
than II conducted with cards or dice,
II is, In fact, worse than game
which is determined purely by chance,
for the operators In these transactions,
while taking chances, always aim to
play with marked cards and loaded
dice.
The man who sells wheat he does not
own, expecting the price to fall before
the time for delivery comes, takes his
chances on the future price Of wheat
But he also does all he can to break the
price. He circulates false reports; he
endeavors to corner the money market,
and compel men to throw their wheat
on the market so as to break the price.
He endeavors to get up scare or a
panic so as to depress all prices. He
seeks to produce conditions which will
enable him to win his bet that wheat
will fall, regardless of the injury he In
the meantime inhlcts on honest Indus
try and legitimate business
In order that few men may realize
few thousands or hundreds of thou
sands on bet, they derange the en-
tire business of the country, cripple
production, and throw thousands out of
employment.
In these transactions the goods sup
posed to be bought and sold never
change hands. In fact, they are never
in hand.
A aolls b a million bushels OF wheat
at 70 cents, to be delivered in ten days.
Wnen the time comes, II wheat Is still
70 cents, the transaction is OFF. Neither
has made or lost anything. A could
get the wheat and fill his contract, but
he would make nothing and B would
make nothing, so the deal Is draw.
But II at the time for delivery wheat
can We bought for GS cents, then A, by
buying and delivering the wheat to b,
who would have to pay 70 cents for
wheat worth only 6S cents, would
make 2 cents a bushel. So b pays A 2
cents on each bushel that was to be
delivered and A makes 100000 cents,
twenty thousand dollars, because he
won his bet that wheat would fall.
Il at the time for delivery wheat
should be 70 cents bushel, b would
make 2 cents bushel by getting a
million bushels OF wheat at 70 cents,
which he could sell for 72; so A pays B
the difference, twenty thousand dollars.
B has won his bet that wheat would
advance.
II the men who engage in Inese gam
bling schemes simply sat down and
waited to see what the market would
be, no one outside Of those engaged In
the game would be particularly con-
cerned; no one but those who lost in
the game would be particularly harmed.
But, as before state, they do not sit
down to wait to see what prices will
be; they set to work to make them
what they desire. Those who will gain
by the rise endeavor to boom prices,
or, as 1t is called, bull the market;
those who will gain by decline set to

The above IS the statement Of the reg
istration up TO o'clock last night. The
registration books close tonight at c
o'clock, and If people have not registered
by that time they will be barred from
voting in November The books viii be
closed promptly at 6, and the man who
thinks that one minute after will do. as
well as one minute before will get left
The registration for the year is very
good, but there are lots Of people in
Wichita who have not yet realized the
Importance of making a visit to the city
clerks Office and arranging for that vote
IN November.
The chances are that the man who neg
3, lects to register will be the man who
will be anxious to cast a vote at the fall
Election.
AS this is presidential year, no citizen
lshould forfeit his vote. and all It needs
no be enabled to vote if he resides in the
fcity is to call at the city building this
morning and have the city clerk or one
of his assistants arrange the matter for
ham. 1t only takes a short time and the
matter is settled.
The registration of the year is slightly
ahead of that of last year and nearly
equal to that of four years ago. But
Wichita IS larger now than then and fig
ures OF four years ago do not indicate
khat all OF the men have registered this
year.
The Third ward leads in the number
registered. The Fourth ward is next and
thu First and Second wards are nearly
alike in number. Whether the popula-
ton IS the same OF not it is hard to
conjecture, but it seems as though there
should be more voters, regardless of
party, than are on the registration
books.
The books close at 6 o'clock tonight,
and If you are a voter your name must
appear on the books If you cast a ballot
for your favorite candidates on election
day
