The Teller resolution would not lie forgotten by money loauers, nor the efforts of the deuiia-rats who tried so bird to have the outstanding obligations of the government paid off in silver coin. If demo-pops were in power in this government, at this critical period, it is questionable whether or u'i they could negotiate a foreign loan for any amount. Al any rate they would have lo give iron-clad security before they could borrow a single dollar at home or abroad. Then money loaners would be afraid of repudi itton oui aud out. What a grand opportunity it would be, in Ihe event of war with Spain, to text the demo-popp financial system, by sending a com mittee with Teller as chairman to Europe to negotiate a loan for war purposes. W, J. llryan should also be member of that cominittce. Wouldn't it lie fun to send such financial diplomats to the great mon ey centers, London or Berlin, to bor row money to carry on a stupendous war?

It was decided that the unit of value should be called a dollar; and grains of pure gold or 27 grains of standard gold; or, ol 371, grains 0; pure silver or 410 grains of standard silver.

Several hundred millions have lx-en made ir the last few days by Ihe manipula tion of President McKinley's message at least, so we are, assured by Pop ulist Congressmen and yellow news papers. It is iinMxt.;ble to imagine that Populist farmers could engage In such an unholy way of acquiring wealth. That they could not have made it at fanning we have been as sured over and over by Ihe ablest economic autliornies ine prairies cii!d turn out. These have demon--'rated to our complete satisfaction :i it the Kansas farmer is so ground miller the heel of the plutocratic rail mh.I that it is impossible for him to make more than a bare living, and throw his farm to the money-lender will lie acceptable. I have taken facts from History of the coinage of gold and silver in this country by themselves and have then looked up the claims of the two par ties, representing the gold standard and the silver standard and have then made my deductions and drawn my conclusions. As the money plank ofjlhe Chic ago platform of the new democracy, invokes the spirit of 1776, then as a starting point.

Very soon afterwards Ihe bills of credit became utterly worthless and 200,000,000 of thein were repudiated. This was a time when we I ml tie ideal cheap money and a large - ' capita; Sixty seven dollars per capiti was repudiateil. At the time of the ratification of of the articles of Confederation in 1781 the government found itself In debt something over $70,000,000 be sides the dead continental money. The coutry staggered along under this load of indebtedness, the vitality ! of Ihe government becoming weaker and weaker until the convention of 1787 which framed the present om dilution of the United Slates. A national coinage had occupied the attention of the public for some time. a silver piece of fl, a silver piece of 1-10 of a dollar, and a copjier piece of 1-100 of a dollar. This was the origin of our cent, dime, dollar and eagle The establishment of a mint was delayed, however, and no esiecial action was taken Usn this report. The convention of 1787 was called ami resulted in the framing of the constitution of the United States. In due course of time it was rati fied by the people and we bee tine a nation. With Washington a- presi dent, we 110 longer exhibited Ihe weakne-s of a league of states, but the power of a nation.. The constitution providet : Art. I, Sec. 8, "The congress shall have the power to borrow money on the credit of the United Slates; To coin money, regulite the value thereof and of foreign coin, and fix Ihe stand ard of weights and measure-; To pro vide I'm the punishment of counter- ti-iliiig the -ecu ri lies and current fun or the Uiil'eit iaie; 10 raise and supMirt Ihe armies, but no ap propriation of money to that u e hall Is- lor a longer term than two ycais. ' Sec. H. No money shall lie draw n from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all pub lic money shall be published from tiiiM to time." Sec. 10. No state shall coin mon ey emit bills rf credit; make any thing but gold and illvercoin a len- ler in payment of debts; or pass any law impiiring the obligations of con trails;" ami further than this, it is uturly silent upon the subject of money. Washington, as president, appoint ed Thomas Jefferson secretary or slate, and Alexander Hamilton secre tary of the treasury. In 1790, Jefferson in his report as secretary of state, urged the establish ment of a mint and national coin age. At the third session of congress under Ihe constitution, Ihe founda tion was laid for public credit, and w ith it pro-perity to the country. Congress, hy resolution, called uj on Ihe secretary of the treasury to reisirt a plan for coinage; and this brought forth from Hamilton what ' is generally spoken of as "The Cele- were coined until 1830, a period ol over thirty years. The next act in the history of our coinage to effect our coins was the act of June 28, 18.34, changing the ratio to 16 to 1 by changing the gold dollar from 24 J grs. pure to 23 grs. pure and from 27 grs, standard to 25.8 grains standard. This made Ihe fineness 899, and in 1837 a slight change was made in the gold coins by adding .02 of a grain pure gold making the gold in a dot- Items of Interest From All Parts of the State.
