Bryan aud the Democratic party said
the trouble Of the country lay with the
money of the country, and that pros
perity depended upon the amount of
money in circulation. The Republicans
have coined more silver than has been
coined for years, have coined more gold
and issued more bank currency. This
is what is claimed by all economists
will give good times. Democrat.
The above is rich and rare. II fails
to give Mr.. Bryan's plan Of increasing
the amount of money in circulation.
Prosperity depended on nothing of the
kind. 1t depended largely upon the
amount of good money in circulation,
but there were other questions besides
money. What the writer says of the
Republicans is true. They have done
all he says they have, and have not
done it with adishonest, jo-ccnt dollar,
but with dollars Of equal purchasing
power and value, something which Mr..
BRYAN said could not be done and which
he opposed doing. Our contemporary
says the increase is all right, only ''it
is based upon bonds or debts, while il
should be based upon the fat of the
government" Here is fiatism for you.
What the silver dollar lacked of being
a full dollar under free coinage was tc
be supplied by the fat of the govern
ment. Why not take leather or any
old thing and place the government
stamp upon il and start il out as a cir
culating medium? Why use either gold
or silver if the fiat Of the government
can give value to a thing?

PLAN TO lRR1eArE ARID LANDS.
Reclamation
Agreed uUpOA.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE committee Of
seventeen Senator's and members Of the
House appointed by the full congressional
representation from the Western arid-land
States to draft bill providing for national
aid to irrigation has reported the bill they
were authorized to name, but 1t will not
be adopted in either hOuse OF Congress until
after the Christmas holidays
The bill eunbodies some of the provisions
OF both the Shafroth and the Hans
bills. Its central idea ts
the devotion Of the proceeds of the sale Of
the public lands to the reclamation of thcse
lands. 1t also increases the price Of public
lands to be benefited by the proposed I'M
cation enterprises, SO as to make settlers
pay part of the costs Of construction.
The bill provides that all moneys received
from the sale and disposal Of public lands In
the arid-iand States shall be set aside as =
reclamation fund: for examination ana
surveys Of reservoir sites: that tunnel sites
for diversion Of water and irrigation canals
connected Herewith shall be made: that tie
Secretary Of the Interior may withdraw
from public entry the lands required for frri-
cation works and the public lands proposed
