There i.s perhaps 110 more important
lesson that young or old can learn than
that evils are more easily resisted in

It is the same with gambling, and
It is hard to conceive of a more de
moralizing vice. If one gambles at all
it is not easy to limit the things gam
bled for or the amount wagered. If one
bets at all and refuses to back his opin
ion with money, his opinion is. in
the minds of some, discredited. If he
does not bet at all. that is a sufficient
reason why he should not be called
upon to put up his money in support
of his opinion on any subject.
Then. too. the gambling habit weak
ens a man's energies. Money won on
a bet or in a lottery seems to be much
more easily obtained than money se
cured by industry of any kind, and
after one has obtained his living for
awhile from games of chance he be
comes practically incapacitated for any
legitimate effort, and is not . content
with the slow accumulation that gen
erally accompanies the ordinary forms
of industry. It is the part of wisdom
not to gamble at all. Where one reso- ;
lutely refuses to begin he is not wor
ried about a stopping place. And so

individual is likely to fall.

IN LINE WITH G. O. P. LOGIC.
A subscriber writes to say: "I can
not understand how it can be that w"hen
the republican party subjugates, tor
tures and enslaves a people that are
too weak to prevent, it is 'benevolent
assimilation." but when the south held
slaves, and in most cases treated them
well, it was 'a covenant with death and
an agreement with hell. " This sub
scriber concludes: "Can the Common
er inform?" Perhaps the explanation
is that whatever the republican party
does is right and that whoever opposes !
the republican party may do Is wrong. I
That is not very clear, but it is cer
tainly in line with present-day repub
lican logic.

THE NEXT NOMINEE.
The following letter was written in
reply to an inquiry from Massachu
setts. It seems to be necessary to re
iterate statements therein contained
every few weeks to meet the misrepre
sentations that constantly appear in
the corporation papers:
"Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
favor .saying that 1 had been reported
as iaotal)!e to the nomination of Mr.
Olney. I beg to say that I have never,
directly or indirectly, suggested or ad-vi.-ed
the offering of a presidrn.ia.l
nomination to .'.r. Olney or to any
other person who did not openly or ac
tively indoise the platform and the.
ticket in hoth IS'.ifi and I'JOO. On the
contrary. I have at nil times insisted
that no man sho.ild be considered for
the presidential nomination who was
net thoroughly committed to the peo
ple's interests on all questions involved
in the last two national campaigns.
While the money question is not the
para '.no:.--.it isuo. and was not in 1000.
yet Feme phase cf it is always before
the countiy. and those who have any
knowledge of public affairs must know
that a man who is willing to turn over
the finances of the country to the con
trol of the financiers, lacks either an
understanding of the subject of sympa
thy with the people, and in either case
it would not be wise to make such a
pem;n the standard-bearer of the dem
ocratic party. Yours truly.
"W. J. BRYAN."
THE REASON WHY.
A reader of the Commoner asks why
the silver dollars coined under the act
of 1702 had inscribed upon the margin
"100 cents, one dollar, or unit." When
the government officials were select
ing a monetary system they decided
that go!d and silver should be used as
money metals. As Jefferson put it,
they decided that the money unit
should rest upon two metals, and in
this Hamilton agreed with Jefferson.
The next question was to find a ratio
and the ratio of 13 to 1 was selected
as the proper one. The Spanish silver
doilar was the coin most common in
circulation in the country and it was
taken as the unit and, the ratio having
been fixed, the gold dollar was made
to weight one-fifteenth as much as the
silver dollar. The gold dollar being
too small for ordinary use, has never
circulated to any- extent, so that the
silver dollar has been the dollar usual
ly had in mind when a metallic dollar
was mentioned. In describing the sil
ver dollar as the unit, our forefathers
did not intend to make it superior in
any way to gold, for under the bimetal
lic system the two metals are on an
equality, both as to treatment at the
mint and as to legal tender qualities.
The silver dollar then in circulation
was simply made the starting point,
and the amount of pure silver In the
silver dollar has never been changed
from that time to this, although the
amount of pure gold in the gold dollar
has been changed.
Coal mines are being shut down be
cause the market is "glutted," and
prices are being hoisted because there
is a "famine." The presidential method
of dealing with the coal question seems
to have been quite agreeable to the
operators.
Doubtless those convicts who made
counterfeit money in the Pennsylvania
penitentiary argued that they were en
titled to some "easy money" just the
same as the adroit republican political
manipulators of that state.
The indications are that we will soon
have a new cabinet officer, that of sec
retary of official explanations. Of
course Mr. Loeb will be the first in
cumbent. The trouble with republican tariff re
vision is that the republicans will not
do it after election and dare not do it
before election.
The senior senator from Ohio is act
ing like a man who wants to make
sure this time that he will not have
to dodge the officers of the law.
Mr. Quay says he has heard of no
opposition to Roosevelt. But Mr. Quay
has long been in the habit of closing
his ears to a great many things jus
tice, for example.
Among other pleasurable spectacles
is that of New York republican papers
lauding fusion to down democcary in
New York City and denouncing fusion
to down republicanism in Nebraska.
General Grosvenor announces that
he will write no more books. If the
general will now condescend to an
nounce that he will do no more figuring
a great deal will be forgiven him.

"THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE."
A staff correspondent of the Brook
lyn Ea?le has waited upon Mr. Cleve
land and formally announces "if shown
that it is his duty to his countiy and
his party to do so. he, Cleveland, will
accept the nomination for the presi
dency." Ai:d then the Eagle goes to
the trouble of quoting from a number
of republican newspapers. which
quotations are generally to the effect
that Mr. Cleveland is "the strongest
and the best" man. The Eagle makes
too great an exertion. It will lie gen
erally admitted that if the democratic
party is to be republicanizr d. if the
democratic party is to come under the
control of Will street, then Grover
Cleveland is the democratic party's log
ical candidate for the presidency.
Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as being in
favor of a "currency commission." This
plan has two merits, viewed from the g.
o. . standpoint. While the people are
watching the commission the financiers
slyly push through their little scheme,
and the commission affords fat places
for a few party pensioners.
"FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY
MADE.
In the light of the fact that the New
York Sun and Harper's Weekly are
vigorously criticising Mr. Roosevelt,
some republican papers by way of ex
planation are pointing to the alleged
fact that Mr. Morgan controls the Har
per's Weekly and the Sun and that
therefore criticism from such sources
should have no effect with the people.
It is interesting to remember that in
the campaigns of 189G and 1900 these
same republican papers cheertully
printed the well written editorials of
the New York Sun and of Harper's
Weekly to the detriment of the demo
cratic cause, although at the time it
was known that then, as now, those
publications were under the control of
tne Morgan influences. Such things as
these and they happen frequently re
mind us that the republican logic is
fearfully and wonderfully made.
JINGLE AND CLINK.
In a recent editorial the Chicago
Chronicle said: "Mr. Depew's piteous
plaint in 1898 that the talk of war with
Spain 'hurt stocks' has an echo in Eng-
land, where anything looking to action
against the Turk is sternly deprecated
because it has a tendency to impair
the value of Turkish bonds. The jingle
of the guinea and the clink of the dol
lar are very much alike." Perhaps it
is not out of place to say that "the
jingle of the guinea and the clink of
the dollar" have much influence upon
American politics; and unless memory
is seriously at fault, the Chicago
Chroncle, although posing as a demo
cratic nev.spapr, has generally given
very ready response to the "jingle and
clink" so far as concerns its attitude
in the politics of this country.
The percapita circulation has been
Increased 33 per cent during the last
seven years. The gentlemen who were
loudest in declaring in 1S96 that we did
not need more money nearly so badly
as we needed "confidence" are the same
gentlemen wno are now deploring the
scarcity of money and figuring on rush
ing through an Aldrich and a Fowler
bill.
The lines are forming for the politi
cal battle of 1904. Have you enlisted
on the side of the people by making
a personal effort to organize a demo
cratic club in your voting precinct?
If the money question is settled, a
number of prominent republican man
agers are wasting a lot of valuable
time.
Mr. Hanna says he has nothing to
say, but the corporations that are
watching Uncle Marcus fingering the
handle of the fryingpan realize that ac
tions speak louder than words.
Several cabinet officers are preparing
to invade Ohio. The administration
evidently fears a Langley airship finish
to the boasted republican walk-over
The "shackling-cunning-as-we-have-shackled-force"
portion cf Mr. Roose
velt's 1903 Labor day .speech seems to

A lot of gold standard organs are
compelled to learnedly discuss nothing
to the extent of columns In order to
avoid explaining why it was not the
Philippine coinage that increased the
price of the white metal.
When we read that prisoners in the
Pennsylvania penitentiary have been
making counterfeit coins we are in
clined to wonder how Mr. Quay and
the Philadelphia machine allow ed them
to get in there.

NEW LINE O.M THE PACIFIC.
Grand trunk to Equip Three VeSEtl3
for Australian Trade.
SAN FRANCISCO. Tie; informa
lion was made public that the Grand
Trunk road i.s about to place three
Jarge and modern steamers in the
Australian trade, sailing from Ta
corfia, in competition with the Oceanic.
Steamship company, and the Canadian
Pacific's line to Australia.
Involved in the new enterprise is a
traffic deal between the Grand Trunk
and the Hill lines whereby the latter
will share the handling of the traffic,
the steamers of the Pacific Coast com
pany to furnish direct eonnoct ion
with this port.
The establishment of the new
r
H;eams.iip line to lie known a3 the
Australian and Pugct Sound Steam
ship company, is declared to be
strict ry a Grand Trunk undertaking.
As the Grand Trunk has no tracks
thus far this side of Chicago, the Hill
lines will handle the business be
tween Tacoma and Chicago.

mules drawing a wagon were crossing
North Ninth street, a street ear camu
speeding along and struck one of the
mules squarely on the flank. The
collision stopped the car. The car
was damaged to the extent of $10,
several passengers received bruises
from the impact, but the prostrated
Missouri mule arose, gave one long
bray, and then proceeded quietly with
the wagon.

Protest Against Statue of Lee.
DAYTON, O. One of the conclud
ing acts of the Union Veteran Legion,
which closed its annual meeting here

lution bitterly protesting against and
denouncing the plan of placing a

the Hall of Fame. The resolutions
assert that such an act would be an
insult to the Union soldiers now liv
ing and to the memorj- of soldiers
dead.

lre--es rt 97.
Krnest logouve, oldest member of
the French academy, has entered upon
his !l7tli year, but. is still well and
hearty. This wonderful old man vis
its a fencing hall every morning at 1
o'clock and has a fast fifteen-minute
bout with one of the instructors. H"
weighs hardly sixty pounds. His
daughter, Mme. Desvallleres, Is S
years old and is also ardently de
voted to exercise, being easily able to
swim the Seine twice without resting.
M. IvOgouve says he has a triple wi.-:h
to be able until the last lo hold his
fork, his razor and his sword steadily
in his hai'd.
For a Bad Back.
' Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th. A great
many men in this neighborhood used
to complain of pains In the back, but
now scarcely one can bo found who
has any such trouble.
Mr. Gottlieb Mm is largely respon
sible for the imprf'vement for it was
he, who first of all found the remedy
for this Backache. He has recom
mended it to all his friends and neigh
bors, and in every caso it has had
wonderful success.
Mr. Mill says:
"For many years I had been trou
bled with my Kidneys and pains In
the small of my back. I tried many
n-odicines but did not derive any bene
fit until last fall, when I bought a
dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After using them a few days I began
to improve, my back quit aching and
I felt better and stronger all around.
"I wiil keep them in the house right
clong for In my opinion they are the
b-jst medicine In the market to-day,
and If my back should bother me
again, I will use nothing else."
In England a candidate stands for
office, but in this country he has to
hump himself and run.
