Club." They pay out $500,000
this year to supply this golden

these plates of costly illustrations
and statistics in favor of "sound
money" are not from a disinterested
source? The term "sound money"
means the gold standard as the
only measure of values But tlioy
dure not say gold standard, so they
say "sound money." Why not?
Because itcanbeBhown'to be an un
sound, unjust standard, a standard
that can be covered, manipulated,
that is subject to all the lluctua

The citv council should make

Tho price of labor aud all its
iirndiieu. und real estate, have
fallen materially in value. Money
is tho only thing that has appie
ciated in value. The borrower can
attest to that fact. The farmer
sells 35 cent wheat, 9 cent wool
and o cent lions, yet interest is 10
nr cent, perhaps a bonus ad
the sumo as when tho producer was
Bcttinu nearly twice the sum I .
the products of his toil.

In some of the Western states,
where women rule tho roost in pol

women w-rried the election here,
and 1 suppose we will have to
swing out a hen instead of a
rooster."

the people and voters.
There is food for thought in the
words of Senator Hill concerning
the probability of tariff legislation

Ho said: "There will bo no tariff
legihlation id this congress, or in
an extra session if one should bo
held, or iu tho to years during
wtii.-h the next congress will be in
session." It looks as though most
of the senators agree with Senator
Hill's very emphatic assertions, lor
noi.e of them even made a pretenso
of denying or of challenging them.

Many people are surprised ut
