The Rev. j. ". Lisscnden, pastor OF
the Baptist church at Freehold, New
Jersey, in a sermon IN Sunday specu-
lated on the end CT the world. He said
he had always been a great student Of
figures on Bible subjects. and declared
that he believed the ems Of the world
was not far Off, probably due about
1915. He cited a ~sirailar estimate given
by an English student.
German army expenditures are set
down in the budget for 1903 at G32,-
0 1898, which is $4,000, 600. under the
British army estimates for the same

The governments of Prussia and OF
the Grand Duchy Of Mecklenburg, have
decided to expel the Mormon mis-
~,fonaries, Of whom there are 14o in Ger
many and 80 in Prussia, on the ground
that they are propagating a form of re-
ligious belief incompatible with the
laws of the State and public morals,
and because polygamy is not excluded
from their doctrines. The missionaries,
who are all Americans. will be allowed
sufficient time to settle up their at

whatever has no value Use then de
termines value, and the value or price
of a commodity is determined by the
demand for it. | recognize the fact
however, that something must be used
to express the price. If that were not
so, then the value of different COM
modities would have to be determined
by comparing one with another, swap,
or barter. Hence, in order to facili
tate the exchange of commodities and
express the price, we resort to thu
use of money. u unit of value {not I
6tandard) and that unit of value is de
termnied by law.
Now, that legal unit of value must
have some material upon which can
be expressed the stamp Of law. The
materials which have been used il
this country for many years are gold,
silver, copper, nickel and paper, and
all these materials have served a very

KILLING the FARMERS
MIR. Martin Believes Present System is
killing the Farmer and Fostering
Trusts

Editor independent: Our present
system of government is killing the
farmer and fostering the trusts and
manufactures banks, combines, spec
ulatives, and manipulatOrs. Making
milliOnaires on the one side and pOv-
erty on the other side
| know of farmers leaving their
farms to go into the woods to peel
bark and log and lumber for wages in
preference.
While the farmer is compelled to pay
double price for all trust protected
products, he is compelled to sell his
products at starvation prices, as I
will try and show you.
The present price of rye in Chicago
is about 48 cents per bushel with
freight charges and commission out
would leave the farmer about 40
cents. | learn from the ex-government
internal revenue collector that from
one bushel of rye the large distiller5
get four gallons of whisky. The gov
ernment tax on whisky is $1.10 per
gallon, so the government alone gets
$4.40 out Of the bushel of rye, the
dlolillCl pays IIIC ldA w lltu ut otiic
the whisky, and the longer the whisky
is left in store the better it grows and
the higher price is obtained, it's as
good as an interest account at one per
cent month, then the mash or malt
after it has been through the distilling
process is fed to large herds of cat
tie and hOgs-fOr the market. So
that the distiller must get nearly as
much or more than the government
out of the rye The eX-collectOr told
me that the large distillers used sew
eral thousand bushels Of rye a day
Then after the whisky becomes good
for use it is sold to the wholesalers
and retailers, good whisky brings from.
$3.50 to $500 per gallon. If there are
% drinks per gallOn-four gallons to
the bushel would be $24; if at Is cents
per drink as in some of the large ho-
tells it would be $500 per gallon, or

Editor independents There is d
great deal of talk about a standard Of

gold standard of value. And there
are very few people but really be-
Iieve that there is such a thing as &
standard of value, Now I will at
tempt to show that the phrase, stand
ard of value is misleading and in
correct and that there is no such
thing.
In order to have a standard of val
ue, the commodity or thing must have
within itself The quality that neve~
changes in value, which cannot be
said of any commodity or thing on
earth, untrameled by any legal en-
