The above is from a redrawing of one of Nast’s cartoons used in “Robinson.
Crusoe’s Money. ” The Crusoe islanders went through an evolutionary period of
flat legislation.
They got the idea somehow that if there was a scarcity of
money or milk they could, by solemn legislative enactment, increase the sup-
ply of these articles.
The voters were not as quick to discover the difference
Between real and sham money as were the babies to discover the difierence be-
tWeen'real and sham-milk, but both reached a point where they had no
doubt about the difference.
JUDGE FRENCH 0N SILVER.
He Repudiates Repudiators and Talks
Plainly About Money.
Judge Nathaniel French, temporary
chairman of the Democratic state con-
vention which met at Des Moines on
Aug. 7 and which declared for “the
honest payment of our debts” and for
“a sound and stable currency,” spoke
in part as follows:
“Since Jackson’s administration and
through its act we have had the gold
standard, excepting only the period of
suspension of specie payments. Our
debts, both public and private, have
been contracted on that basis, and com-
mon honesty requires that they shall be
repaid accordingly. The cry of the-Chi-
cago convention for the free and unlim-
ited coinage of silver at the false ratio
of 16 to 1 attacks our existing standard,
threatens us with wholesale repudiation,
panic and ruin. This cry is supported
by the claim that the government is all
powerful and by its mere fiat can, dou—
ble the value of silver and make and
keep the silver dollar the full equal of
the gold.. Some men. honestly believe in
this 'miraculous pOWer, but what they
really want is not free coinage of silver,
but free coinage of paper.
“Others favor this ratio as an easy
way of paying debts. Others, made des-
perate by present conditions, are willin§
to risk any change, hoping for better
times. Ignorant of the fact that the
present hard times are mainly due to
this agitation, they are willing to try a
bigger dose cf the stuff which has poi-
soned them. Others, whose main object
in life is to break into ofiice, regard it
as a means of getting a public job. Be-
hind all these is the greedy, crafty co-
terie of millionaire silver mine owners,
furnishing the funds and pulling the
wires.
“The silver men say our money is too
good and too scarce. They would make
it poor and plentiful. The trouble, how- -
ever, is not 'due to scarcity of money,
but to scarcity of confidence. Our mon-
ey has increased faster than population,
but the silver agitation» has awakened
distrust.

Nine Kinds of Money.
Nine difierent kinds of circulating
medium—just think of it—gold, silver,
nickel, copper, legal tenders, national
bank notes, gold certificates, silver cer-
tificates, treasury notes, and all called
money, about $1,200,000.000 of' which
relies on the faith and credit of the
government for sustenance and rests
0n the vacillating. sensitive business
disturber and breeder of panics, turmoil
and strife—viz, the gold reserve, which
varies more or less from day to day and
runs up and down the scale from $40,-
000, 000 to $150,000, 000, the minimum
being a little more than 3 per cent of
the liabilities and the maximum about
12 per cent thereof! Can any sane man
convince himself that this is a safe con-
dition of affairs, and can be maintained
indefinitely?
Owing to certain conditions prevail-
ing at this time, we are for the time
being lulled .into a feeling of false sel'
curity and our efforts to adjust the
finances of the government seem prac-
tically abandoned. Present conditions
cannot be expected to continue in-
definitely.
A very slight increase in imports or
sales of our securities by foreigners
would largely increase the flow of
gold in that direction, and, as usual,
the unprotected government vaults
would be called upon to supply it. Then
we will have a repetition of the endless
chain farce, further issues of bonds,
business conditions seriously disturbed
and an abundance of material for the
enemies of sound finance.
Therefore, why not take the matter,
up without delay and dispose of it in a
manner that will forever eliminate from
politics the questions that were so bit-
terly, contested during the last cam-
paign, and not wait until we are forced
to do so. In times of ease prepare for
stringency, and then there will be no
stringency. —William 0. Little of St.
Louis.
A Free Colnage Fable.
A Fox borrowed some Gold Dollars
from his Neighbors. When the time for
repayment came, he said: “My-friends,
Gold has appreciated since last year,
when I borrowed this money from you.
‘ Anyhow, I dislike this Scramble for
Gold. I propose to restore Silver. I shall
; pay you now in Silver Dollars, coined at
“Wealth is the product of intelligent i
labor. The better the‘tools used and the
more brains mixed with the labor the
greater the result, but first of all assur-
ance is needed that half the tools will
not be stolen. The good money of the
gold standard is the best tool of com-
merce and used by the leading na-
tions. The best is none too good for the ;
American people, and the financial tools _ . .
l Companions were Minions of the Money
of Mexico and China are out of place
here. .
“Silver has its proper use in the
minor transactions of commerce, and
when maintained at a parity with gold,
through limitation of coinage and other
safeguards, serves as a useful tool, which
no one would discard. The use 'of silver
with gold in this way furnishes the
only practical bimetallic currency. ”
Bryan's Diminishing Dollar.
It is now a 40 cent silver dollar in-
stead of a 50 cent dollar. Of course if
Mr. Bryan could make a 50 cent dollar
as good as a 100 cent dollar, he could
do the same with a 40 cent dollar. And
if he could do it with a 40 cent dollar
why not with a. 20 cent dollar? And
why not with a 10 cent dollar and a 1
cent dollar? Then why have any value
at all in a dollar? Why not make 3. doi-
lar out of nothing? '
And the deuce of it is for Mr. Wilv
liam J. Bryan that wheat keeps on go-
ing up while silver goes down. Tough
on him, but the country can stand it.—

Silver Not In It.
The fall of silver to the very bottom
will not stop the fiat money movement,
but it will bring back many an honest
believer in sound money who was led
by specious pleas to believe that it was
possible for the Unite ‘ States not only
to arrest the fall of sil r, but to double
its value by coining th‘e white metal
free and in unlimited qu‘untities. The
real fight is between sound money and
fiat money. Silver will begin it but a

Study the Money Question!
Apart from the political aspects of
the coinage question, all our people,
men and women, should know the fun-
damental facts concerning the monetary
systems of the world. They should know
especially the; history of our own coin-
age. In the w'ritings of Hamilton and

AN. ELECTRIC- FISHING REEL. ,’
Something'l‘h’at Would ~Make Izaak win A
. ton Turnlnnie Grave. i
A local genius at Columbus, Ind., is
salid_jto have invented an electric fish:
ing reel which is highly successful
from one-pomt of view and very dc
structive from another. As describe"
.in a despatch to The Journal, therein -
inclosed in the fishing line a small vi.“
which is-attached' to a battery nea i‘ t1;
fisherman or executioner, and connec
ing at the other end with the 11001.
When the machine is in action the mo
ment the fish touches the hook it re:
ceives a shock that. kills it. ‘It is sun.
that eighty pounds of fish were kille.
with the machine in an experimental
trial of a few hours. ' _
. The inventor seems to be ingeniously
diabolical. As a ,means merely of
killing fish, it may have all the merit
claimedfor it but it is enough to make
old Izaak Wa ton turn in his grave, ii
there is enough of him left to turn, or
rise to indignant protest. A machine
that destroys every element of sport
and gives the person who manipulates
it every possible advantage over the
fish has nothing to recommend it ex-
cept its capacity for killing fish. In
this respect it is quite as unsportsman-
like as dynamite, andonly less barba-
rous in that it only kills one fish at a
time instead of scores. It is somewhat
remarkable that, this infernal machine
should have made its appearance at
the home of the State Fish Commits:
sioner. Mr. Sweeney has been doing
good work in the way of putting a
stop to the unlawful catching and kill-
ing of fish, and if the law can be made
to cover this. new machine he will
doubtless apply it.——-Indianapolis Jour-

WEIGHTY BRIDES.
The Girls of Morocco Are Fattenod for the
Matrimonial Market.
ThrOughout' the empire of 'Morocco
andin Tunis there are villages where
the elder members of the adult popu-
lation follow professionally the pur-
suit of fattening young ladies for the
matrimonial market of Barbary. The
Moors, like the Turks and most other
orientals, give a decided preference to
“moon-faced” wives over lean ones,
and are more solicitous as to the num-
ber of pounds which their brides
weigh than about the stock of accom«
plishments they possess.
A girl is put under-the process of.
fattening: when she is about twelve
years of age. Her hands are tied be-
hind her and she is seated on a carpet
during so many hours every day,
while her “papa” stands over her with
a matraque, or big stick, and her
mother at times pops into her mouth a
ball of couscoussou, or stiff maize por-
ridge, kneaded up with grease and just
large enough to be swallowed without
the patient choking], ‘ .
E the unfortunate- girl declines to be
stuffed she is compelled, so that ere
long the poor girl resigns herself to
the torture andgulps down the boluses
lest she should be beaten.
In Brazil corpulcnce is also consid-
ered the essential point of female-
beauty, and the greatest compliment
that can be paid to a_ Brazilian lady is
to tell her that she grows fatter and
fairer every day—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tamerlane on Playing Cards.
The picture of a king in a. pack of
playing cards was originally intended
to be a portrait of Timour, the great
Mogul of Tartary, who is better known
in history by the name of Tamerlane.
Timour was a mighty conqueror. He
surpassed Alexander the Great in the
extent and success of his warfare and
in the number of nations he subdued.
At the height of his power he was the
sovereign of almost the entire known
world. His ‘dominions extended from
Hindoostan to the Bosporus and from
the Indian Ocean to the Arctic Sea,
He ruled all Asia except the ChineSe
Empire. and died while on an expedi-
tion to subdue China in HOS—Chica-

John’s Desire to be Polite Got the Better
of file English.
Washington, cosmopolitan though it
is, contains elements which refuse to
become reconciled to the intricate su-
perficialities of official etiquette. It is
not for lack of effort that an American
citizen (colored), named “John,” fails
sometimes to understand the obliga-
tion of the moment in the way of titles
and‘ salutations at the Korean legation,
where he-is employed, but John does
his best. The arrival of the Korean
prince had been ,a source of great ap-
prehension, for be appreciated the im-
portance which Asiaticlpeople attach
to ceremony. ’
“If he calls me, what mus’ I say to
him?” inquired John of a young man
of this city, who is attached to the le-
gntion.
“Don’t say anything. Simply do :2

“Kin I understan’

,‘onu needn’t mind about his name.
Simply address him as ‘Your royal

In the course of time the prince had
occasion to employ John, and sent for
him. The colored man entered the
room with a stately stride, and with-
out Iooking to the right nor the left,
