Kich men howl about patriotism, but let a war break out and men wanted to defend the flag, these finan ciers are short ou the staple article called patriotism. The farmer and la boring man fight the battles. After the sacrifice is made, those who mude the MucrlHcea are told to keep their mouths shut while the cowards look after the nation's honor. York Teller. Give the people tho Initiative and referendum and all other reform meas ures can be easily brought about. And without it we shall look in vain for the passage of a free coinage law tend ing to ameliorate the conditions of the great common people. Our reform forces will make a gravo mistake, in our opinion, should they go before the people with a platform In which the advocacy of the initiative and refer endum is not advocated. Maunders County Journal. "It is regarded by lawyers a a great victory for Moore's attorneys," Is a sentence in the dally papers in speak ing of the turning loose of Kugcne Moore by the supreme court. "It is a rape on Justice, would be a much more appropriate expression. It such miscarriages of justice as this and other cases even near home, that is fust opening the eyes of the peoplo to the grand uud expensive farce called courts. Justice no longer presides, it is Juggling and pettifogging that wins, and the game will yet be carried too far so far in fact mat honest men will learn to justly Ignore the farce and hold Judges who scheme to set thieves loose, in utter contempt as they should be held. Grand Island Democrat. All over the United Ktates are men driving wagons and riding horses over the country roads taking the lwople's letters and pajntrs to them. The let ters cost 2 cents each for carriage the paper 1 cent per pound. The gov ernment gets the mail to each person as soon as it possibly can, and, in doing so, adjust its service to every condition that may exist. The express companies don't have of Iters out in tho country, miles from the railroad. Costs too much. Wouldn't leave any thing for the poor, down-trodden stockholders. No private express com panies will carry a letter for you all right. They will charge you a quarter fur doing it, and maybe the letter will be delivered anil maybe it won't. Jt don't make any difference to the ex press company, however, as long as they get the dough.Comiiig Nation. Kamuel Maxwell, during all of the years that he has lived In Nebraska, has been a true friend of the people, says the Jlowells Journal. When upon tho supreme bench he dealt out even justice and would not bow down to corporate iower, When the corrupt republican gang made an .attempt to start the governorship and deprive James K. Hoyd of the office to which he was elected Hiunuel Maxwell would not enter into the conspiracy, but hUhh out for justice and later ills posi tion was upheld by the highest court In the land. Two years ago this grand old 11111 n was nominated by the silver forces of this district for congress, lie has ever advocated the. cause of the jsople and is above question entitled to 11 reiiominntioii, which In hi case will mean a re-election. His second nomination should come to him with out any opposition, us he has earned it. GRAND JURY Adjourned Friday For a Weeks Va cation. The grand jury adjourned I'ridny for a week and will take a much needed rest.

Zander contributes an article to the March Ladles' Home Journal In which he tells how he maintains a family of four persons his wife, two children and himself on $200 per year. He is u school teucher and Is paid a salary of $405, out of which he saves and puts out at interest $200 yearly. Living in a small Wisconsin town he has tiie udvuntage of cheap rents, his house costing him $:M per year. His other expense are: Provisions, $94.82; clothing and foot-wear, $28; maga zines and newspapers, $5; incidentals, $40. "Our meals," Mr. Zander writes, "we And abundant in quantity and variety. For breakfast we have coffee, coffee cake, bread and butter, with eggs or fried ham occasionally. For dinner we have boiled potatoes with butter gravy, boiled cabbage or other vegetables, and pudding or pie, nnd coffee. Some times we have pork and beans, and sometimes some egg preparation, as potato pancakes, dumplings, etc., while with one meal in tho week we have meat, For supper we have the remains of our dinner, with fried or baked po tatoes and eggs. We have coffee with every meal. On this fare we thrive well." A Wsrnlng to Country Cousin. The wife of a cabinet member who is recording her Washington experi ences in the Ladles' Home Journal makes it plain in the March issue of that magazine that country cousins are not always welcome when they go to visit city relatives. The cabinet member's wife was kept on pins and needles for a week bytwo cousins who came to visit her from the country. She ()escrlcs the clothing worn by her unwelcome guests, which was ruther grotesque, and advises those living in the country to stick to their simple ways and plain clothes wherever they may visit and they will be surer of a true welcome. Be yourselves be nat ural, Is her sound advice, which ap plies to evrybody, whether living in the country or the city, An Overworked Brain. (From tho Itecord, I'iorceton, Ind.)

WHAT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OWE TO THEM. But For the Berries They AeoomplUh4 Ws Should Hsts Hsd to Recognita So eosston Tbo Best Form of Currency tho Nstlon Has Ever Had. Among those who pay close attention to financial question and the discus sions thereon the name of Matthew Mar shall, chief finanoial writer of the New York Sun, is aa well known as if the name of bis paper to the reading pnblio, The San has and does editorially oppose the proposition of Secretary Gage and the national bankera to retire the green backs outstanding, and Matthew Mar shall has nupported, if be bas not led, bis paper un this question. Beoause of bis standing in the field of financial dis cussion and bis knowledge of affairs on 'change and in the street, Mr. Marshall is a fooman whom the enemies of the greenback respect, if they do not fear him. Therefore Populists will be more than ordinarily interested in the fol lowing article wblob appeared over bis signature in The Son, under the title of "What We Owe to the Greenbacks :" The advocates of the substitution for tbe present government note currency of notes issued by banks, either with or without other security than tbe bank's own assets, bave lately revived tbe ar gument that tbe government notes is sued daring our civil war and known as greenbacks were even then both costly and unnecessary and are, therefore, in time of peace altogether reprehensible. Tbey say, and with truth, that the de preciation of tbe greenbacks compelled the government to sell its bonds at a beavy discount in gold, and wbile nom inally paying intorest on tbem at 6 per eent to pay, in fact, more than double that rate. Hence, tbey assert, it would bave boon cheaper to bave oonduoted the war on a specie basis and not to bave resorted, as we did, to tbe issue of irre deemable government paper. This argument assumes as Indispu table a proposition which it is impossible to prove, and which, therefore, may with reason be denied. It is by no means certain that if tbe government bad not Issued tbe greenbacks it could bave borrowed tbe enormous sums it needed for tbe expenses of tbe war at any rate of interest whatever, and it is quite certain that if it could bave bor rowed tbem at all it would bave bad to pay on them much higher rates tban those it did nominally agree to pay. How much, therefore, tbe nation actu ally lost by selling 8 and 7.80 per cent bonds payable in gold for par in depre ciated greenbacks is a matter of pure conjecture. We know, however, that in December, I860, four months before tbe firing on Fort Sumter, the government obtained with difficulty at 13 per cent per annum $500,000 out of an author ized loan of $10,000,000 and that in January, 1801, it agreed to pay over 10 per cent for a loan of $0,000,000.' It is truo that in February, 1861, under im proved prospects of maintaining the Union, it succeeded in soiling $8,000, 000 of 6 per cent bonds at from 90 to 06 and in April $3,000,000 more at 04. But as soon as tbe war actually broke out these same bonds fell to 88, and even at that price ouly $9,000,000 found takers. The issue of $50,000,000 in demand notes, not logal tenders, but receivable for customs, tided ovor the emergency, but these notes were soon exhausted, and after the defeat at Bull Bun the only means tbe government had of getting money was by borrowing from tho banks on the plodge of bonds. This exprdicnt yielded $150,000,000, but it so stripped the bunks of their re serves that they suspended specie pay ments at tho end of the year. Thus tho year 1863 opened with the resources both of tho banks and of the treasury exhausted. We had no credit in Europe, tho capitalists of Groat Brit ain and France being convincod by our defeat at Bull Ban that tbe disruption of the Union was inevitable. Tho war was costing us fully $.',000,000 a day, and wo were on tbo vcrgo of national bankruptcy. It was under the prvssaro of the inevitable, therefore, that on Feb. 5, 1803, tho issue of legal tender notes was authorized. That our states men adopted the measure with reluo tauoe and that they justified it as only a temporary exidint is nt lobe denied, but it was by no means the colossal Onaueial blander whkh suine represeut it to have been, and that its consequences wsre uot altogether mischievous, but, ou the contrary, in many respects bene ficial, is (ittbl of satisfactory demon stration.

Suoh people insist that the government instead of issuing the green backs to pay the expensos of war should bave sold bonds for gold on the best terms attainable and should have main tained gold payments from tbe begin ning of the war to the end of it. Sup posing it bad attempted to do this, what would bave been tbe result? The banks at the end of 1861 had emptied their vaults of nearly all the gold they bad, The private citizens who bad any were boarding it or sending it to Europe for safe keeping. The money lenders of Europe were selling American seonrities instead of buying tbem, and bnt for the greonbacks we should have had to recog nize secession as an aooomplished fact and consent to a disruption of tbe Union, with all its dreadful oonsoquenoes. Not only, too, were the greenbacks an unavoidable necessity, but in tbe junoture in wblob they were Issued they became an element of positive financial strength. Adding as tbey did $450,000,000 to tbe circulating medium of the country, tbey stimulated every where enterprise and inoculation and furnished means for paying not only our soldiers and sailors, but tbe army of workmen who snppliod us with tbe munitions of war. The oountry became one great beehive of military Industry, and the millions in tbe field and on the sea wore re-enforoed by other millions in faotorios and workshops supplying thsir wants. Tbe depreciation of tbe greenbacks below par in gold served to increase tbeir energizing power, All sorts of commodities rose higher and higher in price, so that nobody lost by buying them and everybody won, and illusory as were the profits thus obtained they were none tbe less efficient In in spiring cheerfulness and making tbe war popular bere at tbe north. Fanners paid off tbeir mortgages and bad money to Invest, railroads which were bank rupt began to do an enormous business, workingmen got bigb wages and specu lators in stocks and in all kinds of com modities got rich. Whenever, therefore, tbe government placed ou tbo markot a fresh loan it bad no trouble in getting money for it, first from our own people and afterward from Europeans, who, seeing our appar ent prosperity and tempted by tbe inter est, which, being paid in gold on a prin cipal bought in paper, was enormous, were eager to furniih us with all tbe supplies with which we could not fur nish ourselves. For all this we wore in debted to tbe greenbacks. Even the depreciation of the green backs and the premiums which gold in oousequenoe commanded acted power fully as a moral aid to the government in tbe prosecution of the war. When reverses were suffered by our armies, gold went up, but prloes, reckoned in greenbacks, remained unaffootod. The discouragement, wbiob might bave easily beoome a panlo bad tbe stock market oollapsed after great disasters like those of Fredericksburg and of Chiukamauga or foreign complications suoh as the Trent affair, showed itself j exclusively iu higher quotations in tbo , goldroom, whereas, under specie pay ments, it would bave produced a fall in prices which would have seriously ham pered the government in obtaining money. The difference was purely imaginary, but imagination is a power ful factor iu human conduct, and wise statesmen much prefer that it should operate to help tbem rather than to thwart thorn in carrying out their measures. Notwithstanding, therefore, that the issuing of the greenbacks doublod the principal of tbo debt incurred for the suppression of the rebellion, it is plain not only that tho issue was not a finan oial blunder, but that, on the contrary, it was a financial no loss thun a politi cal expedient dictated by the highest statesmanship. The choice, as bus been said, lay between this method of obtain ing money and uot obtainiug it at alL The cost of tho war was altogether $4, 000,000,000, and those who grumble at tbe $1,000,000,000 which was lost on the granbuoks ought also to grumble at our having spt nt the other $3,01)0,000, 000, which liiey oolioed was necessary. Tho secondary utility of the green backs since tho resumption of specie payiueuts iu deinoimtrstlug that paper money can be Issued by a government and nmiutalued al par in gold under ay conditions tbort of civil war has often been pointed out iu this eolaiun. A prejudice agalusl thum remaiu lathe minds of peoplo who either continue to think of tbem as they were during the orii t? years uf Iheir exUtouce or who have ovinia lutemls ta serve if their rvlireittottl, but tbe groat mass of citi ku jully rvgard Ibstuaslhe boat furut of cuirmtcy tbo nation has evtr had and will 0l cnuseal to pari with lhu.
