POWER OF THE MONEY TRUST.

Governor Charles S. Thomas Of Col
orado brought out another strong point
in his Ogden speech when he showed
that one of the avOwed purposes az
well as one of the consequences of the
new currency law is the perpetuatiOn
of the national debt
Those who claim that a national debt
is a blessing have money to invest in
government bonds, as a rule. or else
represent some foreign syndicate which
is looking out for such investments.
1.-THE bulk of our national debt would
expire in 1907" said the governor.
THAT added by Cleveland would run
a little longer, and that incurred in
the Spanish war longer yet, but the
most of it would be paid off in 1907.
This financial bill will bring about
way for making such a deb perpetual.
In this bill the secretary Of the treas
ury is given power to increase or dim
Irish at will this debt by issuance of
bonds redeemable in gold.''
This Is an enormous trust to repoSe

power. 1t is an authority that has al
ready been abused by the present sec
rotary OF the treasury. Yet the bill
which provided for this extension Of
power, this expansion of opportunity
for Wall street bankers, was recon-
mended by President Mckinley in his
last message to congress.
This enlarged power of the secretary
Of the treasury is fully as dangerous
to the interests of the people and the
welfare OF the nation as is the power
conferred on national bankers, who
may contract or expand the currency
at viii and cause panics whenever it
may suit their selfish purposes so 10 do.
The federal treasury is being turned
over to the trusts, at the head Of which
is the bankers trust, as fast as the
party in power can satisfy the exac-
tons Of organized greed. This is rap
idly becoming a government of, by and

FLAG DISSERTATION.

Owing to the presidents vacillating
policy in regard 10 the Porto Ricans.
these people who welcomed the Amer
lean army as an agent of deliverance
and saluted the American flag as an
emblem Of liberty, are now destitute
and dying.
Business has been suspended. A pan
&c prevails Women are rushing about
frantically begging for bread for their
starving children. Ruin stares the
people in the face. Their condition is
reported by American army officials to
be worse than it was under Spanish
rule.
It was this same vacillation, this
same want Of decision and lack Of
character, that brought on the war in
the Philippines. It has been admitted
by newspapers now in Hanna's retinue
that all this trouble, this misunder-
standing, this needless slaughter of
natives and Wanton sacrifice of Ar1eri-
can heroes could and would have been
avoided had there been a president at
Washington who knew his own mind
or controlled his own actions.
But, if we must have these thickly
populated islands for our surplus pop
ulation, as imperialists aver it is just
as well and cheaper by far TO starve
them out; powder and shot cost money;

hitting end are received by the wire OF
the circuit, the disturbance penetrating
the wire from the outside, and in this
way a much larger proportion Of the
energy is used where il is wanted than
in any system in which wire circuits
are dispensed with. The two actions
may be roughly compared to the trans
mission of sound waves from one point
to another by shouting in the open air
and by talking through a speaking tube.
A method of signaling through space
which may be considered TO lie between
the ordinary system with a wire circuit
and the modern wireless biography is
that which has been used to signal
moving trains. The car containing the
receiving apparatus was fitted with a
wire running the length Of the roof or
the side, and the message was trans
mitted, from the pole line running
alongside the track TO the wire on the
car, by induction through the space
separating the two. This was the
propagation of a true ether wave, diff
fering from the latest methods chiefly
in the period and wave length of the
disturbance and in the sensitiVeness
and arrangement of the apparatus re-
spending to it.
The development of the method now
generally designated by the name

the first step in such proceedings must
be taken by the secretary of state. The

REPUBLICAN TRlcKERY.


President Lo-e NO Snow never au-
thorized the use of his name on the
Hammond reception committee. More
over, he says he wouldn't think of hav-
ing it so used. Are Hammond's cam
paign managers 50 desperate that they
feel Obliged to resort to such despicable
methods to bolster up their cause? Do
they purpose to carry their deception
OF the people into the church itself?
Don't Republicans know that such in
famous trickery is bound to be ex-
posed? Do they count on being able to
drag the venerable president of the
dominant church into their filthy pool
Of political chicanery against his pro-
test? The president and the people of
that church alike resent such proceed
ure. Let there be an end of it.

The rate of oscillation depends upon
the properties of the discharging circuit
and by a proper adjustment of that
circuit the length of wave may be regu-
lated.
The oscillatory character Of such
discharge was known many years be-
fore Hertz, but as no method was
known of detecting such ether waves
in space the experimental investigation
of their properties was impossible.
Hertz discovered a method of detecting
these waves, and armed with this de-
lection he pushed through a rapid and
thorough series of experiments which
placed this branch of science at once
on sound basis of fact.
Spark-Gap Detector.
1t was while experimenting with a
pair Of similar coils of wire intended TO
show induction effects that Hertz no.
ticed that if a small Leyden jar or
small induction coil was discharged
through one of the coils, current could
be induced in the other, provided the
circuits were not complete. There must
be a short spark-gap. This spark-gap
in the first coil furnished the means for
exciting the very sudden disturbance
of the ether, and the second coil, SIM
ilarly arranged, became a detector of
ether waves, responding most strongly
to ether vibrations of it's own natural
period.
In all his experiments Hertz made
use of sympathetic or resonating ac-
ton. The EXETER was the spark pass
ing between two polished balls on either
side of the break in the discharging
circuit. which was fed by the action Of
an ordinary Ruhmkorff coil. The de-
Ssa1n1+r;0oI nrd
Kelvin has called it, was usually a
simple rectangle or circle of zinc. In
this wire there was a break, with a
knob or ball on each side. and the dis
lance between the knobs could be reg
ulated by a micrometer screw. Although
this detectOr would respond within a
considerable range, the sparks reached
a maximum for a particular adjustment
at which the natural periods of the ex-
otter and the detector were the same.
An improvement made by later inves-
tigatorS consists in keeping the spark
terminals immersed in oil. This pre-
vents the roughening OF the surface
and seems to make the discharge more
regular, probably by the same action
as that of the electrolytic interruption.
Properties of Ether Waves.
By means Of these simple devices
Hertz made a complete investigation
Of the properties of electric waves in
the ether. He found that they were
reflected by metallic surfaces, but
passed through wood and stone and
other insulating substances; and he
succeeded in refracting them by great
prism of pitch just as light is refracted
by a prism of glass. He measured the
length of waves and their speed, which
was the same as that of light In the
course of a lecture delivered not long
