with wild yells of laughter. they all
started for the water in the rain. and
Dick was the first to dive of the little
pier which ran from the barn thirty feet
out into the bay. One boy after another
followed. and soon they were all splash
ing around. ducking each other and
playing leapfrog.
About a quarter OF mile from the
pier was a small white schooner yacht
lying at anchor She had been there
for a week. Nobody seemed to know
anything about her. OF very little, which
amounted TO this: Her owners. two
mysterious looking men. were seen
around the village a good deal but for
what purpose nobody seemed 10 have
much of an idea. They were evidently
enjoying a vacation.

Nobody cared to accompany him,

opened the book and saw a fine from

read nifty pages with not a thought OF

when he heard somebody weeping In a

saying:

SIXTEEN TO ONE

While the populists supported the
demand for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, they always de-
ciared that the silver question was not
the true issue-the issue was the
money question:" not 16 to 1. AS
conditions were then and taking into
consideration the almost total :gnor-
ance of the science of political econ
omy among the people, the populists
thought the only hope of an increase
III the volume of money and thereby
escape from the terrible conditions
surrounding the people in the days of
the Cleveland soup houses, was to join
the movement for the free coinage of
silver at 16 to 1. The further agita-
ton of that question seems to pop
yiist to be the supreme folly. The
democrats of Nebraska can go on de-
handing 16 to if they wish, but the
ropulists will give them no assistance
along that line. 1t is 10 be hoped, how

Up the real and important thing that
row presents itself, namely, the issue
Of a lot of wildcat notes called asset
currency, which they hope to get into
circulation by making the people be-
lieve that the government is in some
way responsible for them, and which
is bound to end in wreck and ruin.
The populists will still continue to
demand that all money shall be issued
by the government and none by banks
and that every dollar issued shall be
a full legal tender. The populists want
Just one kind of money. They don't
want one kind for the rich and an
other kind for the poor. Just as long
as gold is full legal tender and no
other kind OF money is, the rich will
monopolize the gold and the other
mon people. Then when the day of
disaster comes they will have nothing
with which they can pay their debts.

The complete control of the fortunes
of the people that has been exercised
by the secretary of the treasury, some
times in accordance with law and
sometimes in direction violation of
law, is not understood by people gen
orally. The law, for instance, says
that greenbacks should not be legal
tender for duties on imports and it
was enforced so long as it was for the
supposed interest of Wall street to en-
force it. When it was no longer to
the interest of that clique to have it
enforced, John Sherman, as secretary
OF the treasury, issued an order that
greenbacks should be received at all
custom houses in payment of duties
end that order changed the whole
financial system of the United States
without any act of congress. That
sort of financial imperialism is in
force today.
