RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolution was passed
by Garfield Lodge F. and A. M. No. 95.
in memory of their beloved and departed
brother, A. U. Morris:
Whereas- In His eternal wisdom it has
pleased Almighty God to remove to that
undiscovered country from whose bourn
no traveler returns our beloved brother
and respected friend, Alexander U..
Morris, therefore, be it
Resolved: That in the death of our
brother we recognize the loss of an ex
emplary Mason and friend, and keenly
feel the sorrow of parting which abides
always at the open grave* In his pri
vate life A. U. Morris was loved by all
who kuew him. His heart was full of
sympathy and all kind impulse and his
hand was its willing and generous ser
vant. He was happy in his domestic
surroundings, a devoted son, a _ loving
husband and watchful father. His sense

illustrated tbe wholesome influence
which true adherence to our principles
can exercise in a community. He was
a man of exceptionally pure habits. He.
lived in an atmosphere of moral cleanli
ness, a thorough gentleman everywhere
and under all circumstances. He was
not only a Mason when adorned with
the emblems of the order in tbe lodge
room, but always and everywhere. Over
his grave tbe tears of affection have
been shed. Upon his grave has been
heaped the laurels of affection for many
years to come. May the time never
come when his example shall not be to

A QUESTION
And an
HONEST
ANSWER.
A fashionably dressed woman
asked an O'Neill merchant this
question:
“Wbat is style in a garment?"
“Style in a garment,” he said,
“is what all women want, wbat
some women instantly recognize
when they see it, and what no
woman or man can describe. Style
that is not absolutely correct is as
bad as no style. Almost right is
no better than altogether wrong.
A stylish garment is usually well
made, of up-to-date materials and
it always fits. But good fit, ex
cellent making and quality of
material do not in themselves
make a stylish garment. The only
way to dscribe style is to show it.”
And that is wbat I am doing
this fall—showing the largest line
of ladies’, misses’ and children’s
jackets of up-to-date •' materials
and styles. We hope to have the
pleasure of showing to every lady
who intends purchasing a gar
ment this fall THE CORRECT
STYLES and lowest prices.
There is one question I wish to
submit, and that fact is: That
they are well made, and upon the
making depends the whole ques
tion of style, of fit and of service.
Respectfully yours,
P. J. McManus.

Sixteen Ounce Dollar
Scheme Shown to be a
“COKSPIBACT AOAIR8T 8ILTZB."
A Compute Ssstnetlen of His Theories end
PlatformJWith Our “Student” Sour
ing MgjestioaUy Over the Wroek. ' -
It io difflcnlt to comprehend whet Mr.
Hagerty’s bunking business bus to do
with the "issues of the csmpsign.” any
more than has Mr. Selah’s vending of
irrigation stock—one-eighth wind and
seven-eighths water. Mr. Selah must
think it has, however, for, driven from
what he deemed impregnable positions,
he tries to rally what is left of him upon
that irrelevant ground. He thinks that
when be is out of argument he can use as
a substitute among his brethern.the terms
banker, Shvlock, corporation, trust, etc.
These epithets won’t pass current for
argument with all the brethren, Mr.
Selah. A goodly number of them ere
beginning to do their own thinking and
to cease being excited to phrenzy by de
signing knaves and red-rag politicians.
And then, isn’t it likely to call to their
minds the eighty corporate and individ
ual silver mine owners who are reputed
to be worth 9700,000,000, who employ
those red ruggers to do their shouting?
I Isn’t Mr. Selah himself somewhat of a
"corporate cormorant,” and wouldn’t
he be a still greater one if be had not
been foiled in his scheme to foist a
bonded debt of 9250,000,000 upon the
dear down-trodden people’’ of the dis
trict under the proposed "big ditch?”
The glass house admonition would flt
in nicely here, Mr. Selah, if it is at all
entitled to a place in this discussion, but
1 don’t think it is, as a man’s business
has no more to do with it than the color
of his hair. Nor, it is needless to ear,
do I offer the foregoing as an argu
ment, but to show the inconsistency of
those Coxeyites. (Mr. Belah does not
seem to take kindly to the designation,
“Bryanite.”)
Mr. Selah and his co-laborers m the
Bryan or Coxey (whichever he pleases)
vineyard have nothing but anathema for
r the owners of large accumulations of
wealth. Their idea in regard to things
social and economical is that the wealth
of the country is not properly distrib
uted. What they would call an equi
table distribution, it is fair to presume,
is an equal share per capita. As the
population of the country is about 70,
000,000 and the wealth of the country
about $60,000,000,000 the share of each
individual would, on the above prin
ciple, be less than a thousand dollars.
As the Bryanites will not tolerate cor
porations, except among their own par
tisans, and as a rigid adherence to the
principle of "equal distribution” would
prohibit the increase or diminution of
individual "shares,” excepting as above
—among the members of their own party
—isn’t it pertinent to ask: how would it be
possible for any one not in "good stand
ing” with the triangular conglomeration
to become or even remain owner of an
enterprise such as a railroad, a ship
yard, a factory, or even a huckster’s
shop that would involve a capital greater
than his "divy” of the "aggregate wealth
of the nation?” As it is no “crime” for
corporations and miliionaries to exist
and thrive inside the pale of Bryanism,
and as it is, or would be, treason against
the "people” for those on the ontside ot
the same "ring" to unite their capital
or efforts in the pursuit of such enter
prises above referred to, are there not at
least plausible grounds for the suspicion
that, among other dark designs of this
Bry-Hoxyd of outlawry, is that of a
deep- laid scheme of its members, in case
they should succeed to power, to con
fiscate the proporty of the "enemy"
(those outside their own corporations)
on the pretext of protecting the "peo
ple” (their own party) from the danger
of aggregated capital and corporate
monopolies? The question is deserving
of serious consideration.
Mr. Hagerty authorizes me to say iu
regard to the postofflce episode men
tioned by Mr. Selah, that It happened
about like this: In days of yore he and
tour or five others made up a purse ot
three or four hundred dollars to assist
Mr. Mathews to bring from Monroe,
Wis., a printing press which he owned
at that place, to publish a republican
paper in O’Neill. Mr. Hagerty paid
over one hundred dollars toward the en
terprise and hauled, without charge to
Mr. Mathews, three loads of his goods
from Niobrara, Mr. Brennan driving the
team which did the hauling. Mr. Hag
er ty also paid two or three months’ rent
for Mr. Mathews after he started hie
paper here. Mr. Valentine was then
representative of this, then the Third
congressional district. He was a candi
date to succeed himself for the next
term. Taking time by the forelock,
Mr. Mathews (unknown, of course, to
Hagerty) paid a visit to Mr. Valentine
and told him that if he would secure
him the postmastership at O’Neill he
(Mathews) would carry down the dele
gation in his vest pocket to support Val.
at the convention. This ingratitude of
Mathews, and underhanded scheming of
Valentine did not go down pleasantly
with Hagerty, so he “laid'’ for Val.—not
"for the money that was in it,” as in
the Case of Mr. Selah, when he threat
ened to turn The Item against
Dorsey, tut on account of the
treachery and duplicity that were
practiced toward him. The old settlers
here remember the tacts and know that
the money that was in in the office was
not worth quarreling about. Besides
Hagerty had more than he and three or
four clerks could attend to in his store
without the postofflce.
Mr. Selah falls back once more upon
Mr. Caldwell to try to make it appear
that Student was the “aggressor” in this
little controversy. It won’t do, Mr.
Selah. Every one who has read your
“articles’”knows that yon were trailing
your coat for two .or three weeks to get
up a “discussion’’ of the money ques
tion or of any of the Issues of the cam
paign. Tou are aware, too, that you
thought “it became necessary for you to
dissolve the political bands which had
connected you” with the republican
party, and that “a decent respect to the
opinions of mankind required that you
should declare the causes which impelled
you to the separation.” This I have
asked and dared you to do, several
times, but the only time you attempted
or appeared to take a decided stand was
when you enumerated several things
which you would have the government
do, every one of which it is already do
ing, as you yourself stated. You say
vou “laid down Dremlses.” etc. If vou
have they were stowed away among the
patent medicine advertisements. You
cannot point to a solitary one in your
alleged articles. I will be a little plainer
with you if you wish. I say now that
you are unable to state your case syllo
gietically or in a manner that will be
binding upon you. But what you lack
in ability you make up in impudence
and stupidity, as shown in your per
sistent attempt to make it appear that
the financial clause in the republican
platform is either a mean duplicity or a
cowardly cringing toward foreign
pow.ers, or both. Anyone sufficiently
intelligent to read and possessing the
slightest degree of candor, or who has
noticed the comments made upon that
part of the platform knows that the
"agreement” meant there is an agree
ment upon a ratio that would be com
mon to all the nations that should enter
into the agreement, and one which there
would be some probability of maintain
ing. An attempt to distort the words
and intention into any other meaning
is gross idiocy, vile calumny.
There are three or four different
ratios among the leading commercial
nations of Europe, and all differ from
that of ours. And how do you know
that the movement for a larger use of
silver will not be initiated by some
European nation? I notice that Mr.
Bryan's subjects have to quote European
"bimetallists,” and beg their opinions,
and go into tantrums over a few lines
from a Bismarck, or a few words or a
visit from a Moreton Frewen, and their
kind. It is possible, fir, that the ball
will be set a rolling over there, and it is
well that we be ready to take a hand in
the came.
You deny that Mr. Bryan’s financial
scheme requires that the government
declare 16 ounces of silver equivalent to
1 ounce of gold. His platform declares
that silver shall be coined without limit
and that such coins shall be a full legal
tender. There is no country under a
srstem of unlimited silver coinage in
which such coins are worth more than
their bullion value. Under the same
system such coins cannot be worth more
than their bullion value here, and hence
to declare by law that an obligation, as*
sumed with at least the tacit understand
ing that it is to be discharged by pay
ment in gold or its equivalent, may be
discharged by payment of coined silver
at its bullion value is to declare, al
though a falsehood, that 16 ounces of
silver, for debt-pa/ing purposes, is
equivalent to 1 ounce of gold. It is
immateiial what you think the value of
silver might be, or that Mr. Bryan may
be "fully convinced it would be” under
free coinage. We have the facts before
us and, although it may seem to you
to be an act of rash judgment, we pre
fer to be guided by the experience of the
world rather than by your or Mr. Bry
an’s fancy.
Mr. Hagerty thinks that you hold his
importance at too high a premium when
you ask: "If” silver was remonetized,
(he denies that it has been demonetized)
and "if” he was the owner of silver
bullion, would he sell 871} drains of 11
for leu than one dollarf And “if he
could get 871} grains of it coined Into a
dollar, would he be likely to sell it foi
leaa than 100 cental And “if" he would
not, then the commercial ratio la at
once along aide of the legal ratio. Scat l
Now you have It. All that would be
neceuary under a system of unlimited
coinage to bring the commercial down
to the present legal ratio, and to keep it
there would be, that Mr. Hagerty own
silver bullion and refuse to sell 871}
grains of it for less than 100 cents—
whew I Now comes Mr. Hagerty and
answers, that, in the first place, if un
der the circumstances, he should be so
fortunate u to beabullionairehe would,
like other mortal folks, be obliged to
accept whatever the market afforded, in
case he wished to dispose of it. De
ponent further states that, although he
makes very strong pretentions to being
good-looking, still he is not stuck upon
himself to such an extent as to be de
luded into the belief that a cold, heart
lus commercial world would make this
fact the buis of a business transaction.
In the next place Mr. Hagerty avers
that, under the circumstances men
tioned, he would expect to reoeive for
his 871} grains of silver a silver dollar
worth just 100 cents in bilvbb—that is,
the 871} grains of silver would be
worth just the same after as before It
was coined.
Nineteen-twentieths of the Bryanite
fallacies are manufactured by palming
off as absolute conclusions drawn from
conditional premises. Bryan will say:
“If such and such things are true, then
such a conclusion must follow." Then,
without affirming his major premise,
which is necessary to the truth of the
conclusion, he proceeds to construct an
argument based upon such fallacious
conclusion. A great many sophistries
are concealed in those “if" propositions.
In regard to the Erneet Seyd case, I
will elate that Mr. Selah cannot deny
truthfully (although be mat deny) that
he allegee a ‘‘conspiracy” In connection
with the coinage act of ’78. I will there*
fore make my statement general, that is,
to include all creditors of the United
States at that time, instead of confining
it to English creditors. I say, then, that
no creditor of the government-would
conspire to urge such legislation as
would compel him to take the less val
uable of two kinds of money In pay
ment of his claim. How does that suit
you? And where, then, was the motive
for a conspiracy? And as every delib
erative act presupposes a motive, and as
there was not only absence of motive in
the case referred to, but as the motive
alleged is contrary to reason, therefore
there was no conspiracy of the nature
alleged in the passage of the act of ‘73.
I will also remark that a "crime of ’78”
without an "Ernest Seyd” is somewhat
like a play of "Hamlet” with that char
acter omitted.
Mr. Selah seldom opens his mouth that
he doesn't "put his foot into it:” but
now he sticks in both feet and thereby
foims a very ^vicious circle, inside of
which he again flounders with his para
lell between the thirty-six inch yard
stick as a measure of length, and the
100-cent dollar as a measure of value,
lie admits the completeness of my
refutation of his financial theory with
the exception of one point, and, think
ing, I suppose, that the overthrow of
that one fell short of completeness, he
turns in and annihilates it himself.
Listen to the words of wisdom of this
political-acrobat: "Because the material
composing the dollar Is worth only 60
cents is no evidence that the dollar is
reduced to 60 cent*. Certainly * not!
Isn't a 50-cent dollar as intelligble a* a
2-quart gallon, or a peck half-bushelf
And havn't we lots of these measures in
use? But allow me to assist you a little
further in your case of “Selah versus
Selah.” Suppose we reduce the material
in your dollar (T) to the value of one
cent—just as logical as any value less
than 100 cents—then we have the value
of the cent equal to that of the dollar.
This gives us a new axiom, viz: under
the Selah coinage dispensation, the one
hundredth part is equal to the whole!
Oh yes, Mr. Selah, Student is perfectly
Well able to distinguish the essential
difference between a measure of length
and a measure of value and, in order to
preserve this distinction from the des
tructive quackery of Mr. Selah, will con
tinue to insist upon a rigid enforcement
of the law of identity, which declares
that “every oblect is equal to itself.”
This forces the conclusion, that the
dollar used as a standard of value—
whether it be a gold, silver or copper
dollar—must be equal in value to 100
cents composed of the same material.
Otherwise the whole would not be equal
to the sum of its parts. It does not en
lighten us to tell us that the yard stick
may have no appreciable value. But it
knocks us almost speechless to tell us
that the standard of value may be some
thing else than what it purports to he.
But this prince of innovation, it seems,
la not yet done with us. Routed at
every point and compelled to repudiate
every eaaential which makea Bryaniem
what it ia, he once more plunges into
the induatry of platform makihg, and
behold the work of hia hands! Here it
la: "What they (he apeaka in the third
person this time) do demand ia that the 4?
government put its stamp of (100 cents)*
'one dollar’ onto 10 ounces of silver and- *
let the market price of the metal take
care of itaelf.” Geewhltakerl Put the ‘
government dollar stamp upon 10 ounces,
a pound and a quarter troy weight, of
sliver and cast it out upon the waves of
the world to take care of itaelf! . Talk
about the "crime of '78,” and other -
crimes, but here la a conspiracy, under '
the guise of "rehabilitating silver,” cod*
cocted in the "houae of her friends/1 W*
"plunge the dagger of the assassin” into"
her frail anatomy, and make her;
Victim to the cruel treachery of those, tp,
whom she appealed for protection.'.
Nor have those conspirators, as in ’78,
come in the "dark hours of night," with
the "stealthiness of the cat.” No, no!
They are open and frank about it.
Now, as Mr. Selah has done with Mr.
Hagerty, in Bryanesque style, let me ask
Mr. Selab, if he were the owner of 7686
grains of silver bullion, and that, under
an unlimited coinage law he could take
that amount to the mint and have the
government stamp of "one dollar” im
pressed upon it, would be be likely to '
take it thereY Or would any one of »
ordinary intelligence do it? And if no '
one would do this, how many silver
dollars would be coined for circulation Y '
And if none were coined, how would we.‘
secure a "larger use of silver,” and henpe .
increase the amount of '‘primary”
moneyY And if auch "dollars" were ,
coined, would they fill the bill for the
Bryanite "cheap dollarY” These arb*
pertinent questions. . ... .
Mr. aeian sun, in a nair-neariea man.**'
ner, clinga to the much-exploded theory .
that the prices of commodities are
governed by the amount of money .in
circulation, notwithstanding the fact
that he need not go outside of his own _
town'io disprove its falsity. And he off era.,
support of hie statement the opinion* of .
several eminent scientists. A question,
Mr. Selah, must not rest upon opinion > ■
when it can be determined from- facts.r
This is a question, not of authority, but,. ,,
of testimony. We yield to authority fas
matters of opinion, but we accept testi
mony in matters of fact. And those very1/
men whose names you mention have been'•
guilty of some of the most egregious ’
blunders on record, in matters of opinion
on tenets of their own profession.
J. 8. Mill, as shown by Doctor Bowen,-.
author of “Bowen’s Logic," was found *
wandering in the inside of a very
"vicious circle”in his attempt to ear.:•
plicate the principles of “inductive-'-"
reasoning." Other eminent scientists 1
erred with him. It was John ’Locke -"-'
who advanced the theory of ’^freprfeaen
tative images”—that we obtaid ai^ndwl
edge of the external world bymeaug of
images, which pass from external ob-> -
jeots to the seat of knowledge. Hume “
undertook to prove the impossibility 7*
miracles, and did so to his own satis*,,
faction.. But it was shown that by conr>
founding “intuition” with “inference” . j,
his attempt was an ignominous failure)- -.
By the way, John Locke is reputed te ■:
be the original monometallist—a silver
one, at that. Is the introduction ifi'CZ
John as a witness an attempt'tolay a.
foundation for an “argument” in favor
of silver monometallism? It Carlisle
was a good witness in '78, with eighteen
years experience his judgment certainly -
ought to have improved. And }t has. .,
He is now on the “sound” side of thy
question. Therefore, while we may have .■
and should have an unbounded respect'
for the opinions of men of eminence and '
integrity, still, to disprove what is knoiyn
to be a positive fact, the opinion of,
Solomon is as impotent as that of “Mrs.
Grundy.” The opinions of those gen- ‘
tlemen are not only opposed by that of
others equally noted for learning and
integrity, but are disproved by almost
dailv observation. '
Ur. Selah s "abnormal condition" ex
ception only helps to knock the stuffing
out ot the theory he advocates. It
would, 1 think, be safe to say that
hardly a year has passed since Adam’s
advent into the world that there has not
been an "abnormal condition" some
where among his offspring. The his
tory of the world since the day Mother - *
Eve plucked the apple is one of “abhor-*
mal conditions.” In fact, the “abhor- ' ‘
mal condition" is the rule and the nd£i' '*■
mal condition the rare exception. ' _ £
Mr. Selah still persists in desecrating’
the name of the Martyr President. It is*
almost an act of flendishness to mention !
it in the same breath with that of*'
Bryan, except by way of antithesis, To ;
even insinuate that the noble sou), who ’
declared of his countrymen in the dark
days of the rebellion, when each broth
er’s hand clutched the neck of his
brother "we are not enemies;” to even
insinuate, I repeat, that this angel of
peace would tolerate, much less be in
league with, that enemy of peace and
harmony who is now tramping the coup- -
try endeavoring to k’ndle the flamej of*.
discord in the breasts of a united-people' .
