IT'S NEW ASPECT,
The Money Question VIII be a Vital
Issue in the Coming Com
raign.

One of the vital issues of this cam
paign will be the money issue. The
republican party after shrieking for
years about the dangers of an imag-
mary "50-cent" dollar made of silver,
has benevolently given the national
banks a ''rag" dollar which costs moth
ing, and pays them two per cent. in
terest yearly on every dollar of the
hundreds of millions, that they may
lend them to the people at from six
to ten per cent. interest. This is a big
thing for the banks. In order to ac-
complish this, as Willis j. Abbott saws
in an article in the Chicago Times
Herald, the republican party has aban-
doned the time-honored principle
which has animated all administra-
tions of the United States-namely.
that the national debt is menace to
national prosperity, and should be
done away with as rapidly as reve-
nues will permit.
We have come now to the English
idea that national debt is a ma
tional blessing, and in order that the
banks may at all times control abso-
lutely the paper money of our nation
the Mckinley administration has ar
ranged to extend to bonds. which are
about to mature, for so years. The re-
publicans will plead that in so extend
ing them they have reduced the inter
est, but when the short time the ont
staining bonds have to run and the
high premiums they bear are taken
into consideration the refunding on
Grafton is seen to be a positive loss.
besides operating to establish the pol
icy of debt perpetuation.
This issue offered by the republic-
ans, this clearly expressed purpose to
destroy the greenbacks and to substi-
tute for them money controlled bv the
national banks, and issued to the
banks by the government practically
without charge, is an issue which the
democratic party may well accept.
Changing conditions, due in part To
the greatly increased discoveries of
gold, and in part to the fact that the
present personnel of the senate offers
no promise for immediate action NAV
result in less vigorous pressing of
the free silver issue in this cam.
paign, yet none the less the orators
of the people will reaffirm and stand
by the historic doctrine of bimetallism
and will attack republican currency
legislation, both for the special and
unusual privileges it grants to the ma
tional banks and for its effort to rivet
the gold standard forever upon the
aation.-Illinois State Register.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
nine cases Of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

tions.''
No fault can be foundwith the above
statement, only we should, in writing,
change the terminology trifie, and
that is in respect to the one word Gin
terfere." Nobody has ever disputed
the right of bank to issue notes any
more than such a right has been dis
outed for the individual. The point of
dispute comes when it is suggested
that the government add it's credit to
such notes. When this is done they be-
come government notes. Why not,
then, let the government issue its own
notes? How can the government in
terfere in its own functions? The
bankers do not want greenbacks; but
they demand that the government
credit be added gratuitously to their
private notes. In this light the fallacy
in the following conclusion to the
above quotation will readily be seen:
''If that is true statement of the gov
arnment's functions in regard to bank
notes, it has always seemed to me we
should approach the subject with the
fact in view that the duty of govern
ment is not to repress these things, but
to go on in the direction of the principle,
the philosophy, which has given it it's
right to interfere at all, and simply pro-
yide for the greatest facility of movement,
that being dependent on the goodness of
the system that it devised, and having
done that, leave the people to take care
Of themselves"

BANK NOTES.
The Poor Reasoning of One who Ad.
vOcates Extending the Power
of Money Ihstitutions.

Until well along in the century, SAYS
Sound Currency, the issuing of notes
was regarded, and is still in certain
sense regarded, as inherent in the ma
ture of bank. The reason for the req
ulation of banlz-note issues was excep-
tionally well expressed by former Sec
retary of the Treasury Hon. Charles S.
Fairchild in his statement before the
committee on banking and currency
in January, 1898. He said:
"I conceive that the way governments
gets its right to interfere as to these
demand obligations is this: They were
found to be a most useful instrument in
transferring property and services from
man to man. To attain their highest uSo-
fulness however, it was necessary that
they should have great rapidity of move
ment, and in order to attain that rapid
ity of movement the receiver of them
must be saved the necessity of looking
to the credit of the issuing party who
ever he might be.
Therefore government properly came
in and devised system by which they
shall be issued and then certifies that
they are issued under that system. So
that a man who takes a note, if he knows
how good the system is, can know how
good the note is, and he does not have
to stop to look further. He has to know
one large thing instead of vast number
Of smaller things.
Now, that is the same service exactly
that the government performs when it
coins pieces of bullion. In the case of sill
yer another service is performed, because
with the silver dollars the government
has put a certain degree of promise be-
hind them; but take a piece of gold
and it would be the same way with sill
yer if we had the free coinage of silver
with no government credit behind it
and what the government does in that
instance is simply to take the piece of
bullion from the owner of it and put
it in a certain form, and certify that it
is such a quantity and of such a quality.
The government does not contribute any
capital: it does not put anything into
the bullion transaction: it does not con-
fer much benefit upon the owner of the
bullion, because he could put the weight
and the quality on it if the government
lid not do that, but it does confer very
great benefit upon the people who want
to use that bullion for the transfer of their
property and services, in that it saves
them the trouble of assaying and weigh
ing.
''The government does the same thing
with a bank note. 1t does not put any
capital into it. 1t does not give it any
.redit, except that it provides a system
and certifes that it is issued under that
system. The government performs great
service in that way, of course, to the peo-
Die who want to use bank notes, and in
both cases it performs a great service to
the whole community in that it diminishes
the amount of bullion and the number of
aetions of the community, because it
ment and causes less of them to be re-
