Extracts From W.
ATTEMPTING TO RETIRE SILVER.
Congressman Fowler hai; repented
from the commutes of the house a hill
providing for the recolnage, without
limit, of silver dollars Into subsidiary
coin. Walter Wcllman. In the Chi
cago Record-Herald, speaking of the
bill, says: "It is proposed to recoin
rit8.(i02,Wi silver dollars now in the
treasury into frationnl currency." It
is probable that the bill Itself does not
express this purpose, but that this Is
the real purpose no one who under
stands the subject can doubt. The sil
ver dollar is an unlimited legal tender.
The fractional currency is only a lim
bed legal telfiler. The purpose of this
bill, therefore, is to retire $."i78,(i00.0'.l0
of. legal tender money, thereby reduc
ing the volume of standard money fn
the country. It Is strange that any
ticnion, republican or democrat, can
ignore so dangerous a proposition. The
thousands of democrats who. receiving
the volume of standard money to the
smallest possible limit, for they can
thereby better control It.
The gold democrats are working in
concert with the republicans on this
proposition, and they seek to avoid the
money question, not because It Is dead,
but because they want to do by steaun
what they dare not attempt openly.
The bill Is another confidence game,
and In line with the financial measures
that have emaniated from Wall street
It ought to be vigorously opposed by
the democratic minority In congress, if
it is brought up for passage, but the
chances are that It will lie over until
after the election, and then be rushed
throueh. as mh bad legislation Is.
According to the press dispatches the
bill also repeals the law prohibiting
the deposit of custom receipts in na
tional banks. This Is Intended to In
crease the deposits In the favorite
banks. The bill also repeals the three
million-dollar limit on bank note re
tirement. This Is also In th? interest
of the banks and Is intended to give
them more complete control of the
volume of money. Now under the
present law the banks altogether cau
not retire more than three millions in
one month. If this limitation is re
moved, the banks can retire all of the
money in one month If they like, and
le-issue it when they please.
Every financial measure presented
for consideration by the republicans
Is In the interest of the banks, and
of the financiers, and yet there are
thousands of democrts who. receiving
their information from republican pa
pers or Htlll worse, irom uu bu"
democratic, dallies think that there Is
ro reason for mentioning the money
question In the platform. However,
there are millions of democrats who
have studied the money question and
who know what the financiers are try
ing to do These will see that the St.
Louis convention takes no backward
ftep,

tween capital and labor, Ring on

learn much that the public generally
dots not know.
After eight years of sacrifice, which
brought a large return to the men for
whom he labored, he found that his pa
per was not aullliiently supported to
enable him to continue publication,
and there Li a pathos In the manner In
which he describes his linul surrender
ot the paper that he had made the rep
resentative of the interests of the wago
earners.
'And this is the end of It all. After
eight years of hard work and sacrific
ing, of battles fought, of victories and
defeats, with tens eif thousands of toil
ers of the land reaping the rewards of
these years of striving, I sit alone, sur
'.ounded by the wreckages of my last
redoubt, broken, ruined, deserted. Here,
in this forum where it has been my
croud boast that every slave could
clank his chains, every freeman voice
his will, I bow my head beneath the
tyrrany of bigotry, intolerance, and
jealousy. Hut cruel as they are, they
have not crushed me. Against these I
could fight to my last breath; but in
pratltuele, neglect, these have been my
undoing. No! no! again I cry; they
did not, they did not! I wns foolishly
proud and tried to carry the burden
alone; my strength was not equal to
the task. Well, hundreds before now
hundreds more deserving than I, have
fallen in the struggle of labor's eman-
e Ination, and thousands yet will fall.
Fallen" No! I have just been pushed
aside. I must find another way."
This paragraph might indicate a pes
simistic view of reforms, but this it
not the impression left by Mr. Bu
chanan's book. While he states the
truth when he complains that, reform
ers arc not always supported as they
cught to be; that those whose Inter
ests are most neglected in government
often have themselves to bl-.me be
cause of their failure to support those
who labor In their Interests, yet the
tenor of his book is hopeful, and it
teaches a lesson that every reformer
might to learn, namely, that those who
work for the masses must work for
them, as Mr. Huchanan did, not for
the hope of reward or even for hope of
immediately appreciation, but from a
higher and nobler motive. Those who
have earned the gratitude of posterity
have, as a rule, been men who enjoyed
but little gratitude during" their lives.
Just In proportion as one's work Is
pioneer work the blazing or the way
for those who come after Just In that
proportion must he work alone and
find his comfort In the consciousness
that he la doing work that Is necessary
and that will bring benefit to the
world.
One of the Latin poets has ualel
that man plants trees whoss fruit he
cioes not expect to enjoy he plants
them for 1:1s children, and his child
ren's children, and so reformers sow
seed, cultivate the soil and tend the
crop without asking whether they are
to live to enjoy the fruits or tneir
labor. They find their reward In the
brlH that thrv are doing tneir eimy
end there Is no higher reward than the
eonsclonsneFS of duty well performed.
The Chicago Chronicle says that

THE IMPLEMENT TRUST.
If the republican farmers will ask
the Implement agents to show them
the Instructions sent out by the Inter
national Harvester company of Amer
ica (the harvester trust, which in
cludes the Champion, Deering, McCor-
mick, Milwaukee and Piano com
panies) they will find that all the local
agents are required to sell at a certain
price, and the letters say to the local
agents: "ou can sell just as many
machines during the summer at the
prices we name in this list as you can
at a lower price.
Thus does the trust tlo up the local
dealers and hold the entire purchasing
public at Us mercy, and yet a great
many republican farmers are so parti
san that they will go along and vote
the republican ticket just the same.
But here and there will be found some
(may their tribe increase!) who will
protest not only against the harvester
trust, but against the republican an
ministration that allows It and other
trust to exist.
AS TO PATENTS.
Rome years ago tli3 editor of the
Commoner suggested an amendment
to the patent laws fixing a value limit
as well as a time limit on patents. As
the purpose of a patent is to offer a
stimulus to Invention, why should the
patent protect after a reasonable com
pensation has been secured? Suppose,
for illustration, the amount was arbi-
t-arllv fixed at llino.omi; would that.
not be sufficient to bring forth all the
Inventive genius we have? As a rule
the Inventor dies poor, while the per
son to whom he applies for assistance
rome times reaps an enormous profit
without really having contributed any.
thlnif himself.
The law might permit the inventor
to collect an additional sum himself in
ease he has, without collusion, parted
with the patent for a sum unreason
ably small compared with us vaiue.
This would give him a protection oe
vonel what he receives today.
A resident of Michigan S. G. Howe
of Detroit has recently proposed an
amendment to the patent law which
alms to prevent a monopoly. His plan
is to establish a royalty department
In the patent office, and provide by law
that any one desiring to use the patent
can do so by paying Into the depart
ment a reasonable royalty, said royalty
to be paid over to the person entitled
thereto. This would prevent Any com-
nnnv from monopolizing the patent.
rnd would also pr?vent a patent being
bought up merely to prevent Its use iy
ethers. Mr. Howc'b suggestion 13
worthy of consideration.
In Mr. Bryan's article on Tolstoy
he tald that Tolstoy was a believer in
Henry George's theory of the land tax.
A re ader of The Commoner and a sin
gle taxer criticises the expression, and
fears that It will lead to misapprehen
sion. He says that Henry George
never believed In a land tax. but
only a tax on the owners of the land
owned for present use. Irrespective of
improvements thereon. He insists
that a "lnnd value tax" cr a "ground
value tax" Is more correctly expressive
of his proposition, and that "single
tax" la the distinctive form employed.
Five hundred people are killed every
vrar at Chicago's grade crossings. And
the number will grow until human lire

dends of corporations.
At least Russia deserves credit for
not applying the "thrown Into our lap
by providence" excuse to Manchuria.
A reader of the Commoner suggests
that Instead of seeking a questionable
Octroy by surrender and concession
the democratic party should trust In
the triumph of truth and. paraphras
ing Slial'fspeare, say: "What strong
er breast-plate doth democ racy desire
than a platform with corporate -power
untalned? Thrl.e are H ey armed who
have their quarrel Just, and they but
naked though locked lev steel, whosf
com.iieiice with injustice Is corrupted."

A reader of the Commoner asks for
the substance of the Elklns law. There
Is a very general misapprehension as
to Its terms. It repealed the Imprison
ment provision of the Interstate com
merce law. not of the Sherman law.
The criminal clause of the Sherman
law still stands, but Is not enforced.
The matter hss has already been dls
russed In the Commoner, but It la re

many who do not understand.

PERTINENT QUESTION AS TO
CABINET OFFICIALS.
With Monopolistic Lsanings Both Be
fcre and After Their Term of Of
fice, Can They Be Expected to
. Work for the Interests of the Peo
pie?
How easy it Is for a member of the
official family of a Republican presl-
dent to nowadays drop into the ser-
vice of the trusts directly he leaves
tho Cabinet. Attorney General Griggs
did so and there is no doubt that tho
present attorney general win cm cue

also quotes him as saying In court
that, "he bad to appear in the federal
Circuit com', at St. Paul." and on be-
ing questioned he said: 'I am going
to oppose Mr. Harrlmau s application,
I am counsel for tho Northern becurl-

That company is the railroad mer-
ger that the Supreme court has just
decided Is illegal, and the appearance
of Mr. Root for the merger, so soon
after leaving the cabinet, shows how

PRESIDENTIAL POWER.
The Importance to the People of the
Nomination of Safe Candidates.
The United States, when they adopt
ed the Constitution, placed extraordl-
nary power in the hunds of the presl
dent. To hjm was confided the veto I
power, giving mm tne autnor.ty eo
decide wnai laws snail iiecomo opera
tive. Ho is commander-in-chief of tho
army and navy of the United States
and of the militia of the several states
when called Into service. He has
power to make treaties and all tho
diplomatic power In relation to for
eign natloqa rests In his hands. Ho
appoints nil the officers of the govern
ment, civil and military. Ho has pow
er to convene Congress in extraor
dinary session and In case of a dis
agreement about adjournment, be
tween tho two Houses of that body,
he may adjourn Congress to such
time as he shall think proper. The
minor powers of the president round
out and make almost autocratic tho
extraordinary powers above cited.
In tho hands of conservative and
well-balanced presidents, theso tre
mentions powers have resulted goner-
1 I
the United States. The voters have
always been extremely careful In put
ting forward candidates for the high
est office and until party nominations
became the rule, no mistakes were
made.
Partisan politics and tho role of
tho few. through organization an-i the
expenditure of money has, since tho
party rule usurped former methods,
forced tho selection of some presl
dents, who were not up to the high
order of former days.
The voters of tho United States
only Indirectly have to do with the
selection nnd election of president, tl,r wt,(-h other trusts find In the tar
they vote for electors who, under the m , destroyed, thefse same Repuh-
present party system, nre pledged to
elect the candidates the party conven
tions have nomlnnted. Nor have tho
voters any direct voice In the nomina
tions, they merely elect precinct dele
gates to county conventions, who In
turn elect delegates to district con
ventions and these select tho dele
gates to the national convention, so
tho people are three eler.fs removed
ffrom actual power.
Viewing the vast prerogative of one
who Is elected president, how rare
fully the 'itirs should watch and

a safe man.

Flounces and Tucks.
Really, flounces are not Imperative.
There are always tucks, and there
were never more tucks than this sea
son. Many of the charming thin light
silks have long flowing skirts finished
with Inch or two-Inch tucks around the
bottom. A lovely lavender silk Is so
'made, with a most pleasing distinc
tion. This consists in the alternation
of the tucks with bands of white lawn
of the sheerest quality. The silk is
cut away from under the lawn and
both these Insertions and the tucks
are a little over an inch in width. The
effect is quaintly effective and newer
than lace Insertlems, although a soft
white silk near at hand. In which tho
samo Idea Is carried out with lace. Is
pleasing. In the lavender silk the
sleeves are formed ef alternate silk
tucks and lawn strips and there Is a
full puff of lawn at the wrist.
