People Were Content to Take Things
Easier Than Now

If our forefathers could behold the
modern locomotives, automobiles and
electric cars, they would hold up their
hands in establishment.
The stagecOach was fast enough
then-people were more content to
take things easy.
They used to be satisfied with any
sort of hair lotion that came along
If it did not prevent badness they
thought it was because badness could
not be prevented.
Its different now. People know that
germs cause badness and that New

THE CURRENCY PROBLEM.

Port Byron, Ill.,, Dec. 16.-Editor Ar
gus: AS tariff revision is now in cold
storage till 1910, the currency ques-
ton has the right of way. 1t deserves
the widest consideration.
The present writer assumes no finan-
cial wisdom, nor any knowledge of
the intricate business of banking. He
proposes to apply to the subject a few
elementary principles, and follow them
to their logical conclusions. His opin-
ions may be taken for what they are
worth. If they are unpopular, they are
not therefore erroneous.
Money. circulating medium, has
been called the life-blood of commerce.
Certainly without money industry can
not be employed, commodities produc-
| ed or exchanged, or civilization exist.
Because of its importance government
has assumed supervision, regulating
the quantity and guaranteeing the quail
ity of the circulating medium; and to
this no one objects.
But this supervision fails when most
needed Periods of stringency occur
at irregular intervals, but with reas-
enable certainty, destroying values
producing business depression, and fol
flowed by hard times. The present sys
tenn stands condemned by the test OF
experience.
Because of the great influence the
monetary system has upon the welfare
Iof the people, we lay it down as an
axiom that government should not sim
Iply supervise but should actually fur
| nish the nation with its circulating
medium. AS corollary to this prop
Osition we affirm that the government
cannot safely delegate this function &c
any individuals or associations of indi
Ividuals known as banks.
| The correctness of this proposition
appears when we remember that gov
eminent as the agent of all the people
Twill usually act in the interest of the
people. If it fails so to act it will be
reminded of its duty at the next cleo
ton. Banking corporations, on the
other hand will certainly be so man
LACED as to promote their own interests
and the interests of their stockholders
Banks are great public convenience
but they do not exist on that account
They exist in order to make money
for their shareholders, and sometimes
so that the officers of the bank may USE
other peoples money for their oVI
speculative purposes.
The federal constitution confers up
on congress the exclusive power tt
coin money, regulate its value, ant
emit bills of credit. These powers arr
lample.
In view of these considerations W,
affirm that the ideal circulating med
lium is the United States Treasury not,
having the legal tender quality, but no
Having the promise to pay. These note
lshould replace the present nationa
bank circulation and the greenback

Artie and Bessie were brother and SIS
ter. They were eight and six years old,
respectively, and lived in the depths Of
a great city where smoke and fogs and
rain often obscured the sky for weeks to-
gether and where the deafening street
noises never ceased day nor night. Clang!
clang! clang! went the street-car bells on
both the surface and elevated lines; while
the nerve-racking rumble of the car
wheels kept up constant roll. And in
the shadow OF the great elevated tracks
went thousands OF heavy-wheeled vehicles
of numerous sizes and kinds, from auto
mobiles to carts. Great draft horses drew
some of the heavier wagons. while poor,
half-starved and half-dead old horses
dragged themselves along In the harness
of lighter vehicles, such as carts and cabs.
And all day long little Artie and Bessie
played by. one of the two dingy windows
of their home, a single room In a tene-
ment-house that faced the elevated road.
BY the other window worked their moth
er sitting at her sewing machipe from
dawn till far into the night, doing what
was called factory piecework." She be-
longed to that army of wage-slaves known
as ''sweatshop workers"

Brown been to the zoo? It's full of little
baby animals and things. They told me
over there that the stork had come last
week and left all those funny little things
There's pair Of baby lions, three baby
leopards, and ever and ever so many baby
monkeys. And such lots and lots of baby
birds are coming out of the nests, and
and real, sure-enough baby elephant Is
there, too. oh, yes. and there's a baby
goat what looks like lamb, and there's
baby buffalo. Oh, the stork must have
brung a whole carload of babies to the

don't go over soon all those babies you
tell about will be grown up like their
mamas and papas. i guess we'll have to

"Oh, yes'm, les go an see the baby
animals!" cried Toddles, forgetting to
finish a cake that had raisins In it and
crusted sugar outside It,
Grandmama, always indulgent to her
little Toddles, led the way to the Zoo,
which was some distance from the park
playground. But before they parted from
James Arthur Franklyn, Toddles had prom
ised to meet him In the park ION some
other day, and James Arthur Franklin

explained the boy, "and I'm six goln'

old are your
my names Archibald John Brown"
said Toddles. 'But my papa an mama
an all my folks call me Toddles. I'm five
years old my mex birfday."
This exchange of confidence brought the
boys very close together, and they stood
grinning into each others faces in a way
which bespoke mutual admiration. Five
minutes later they were running about
hand In hand. and Toddles invited James
Arthur Franklin TO go with him to the
bench where grandmama was sitting
that he might become acquainted with
her. My grandmama is very nice
lady," explained Toddles. "She loves little
boys, cause I'm little boy"
And grandmama was very delighted,
indeed, to make the acquaintance of
James Arthur Franklyn, and gave him and
Toddles some little cakes and oranges
from paper bag she carried. While the
children were enjoying the cakes and
fruit James Arthur Franklyn became
talkative. Turning to grandmama he
asked: Have you and Archibald John
