Small of the University of Chicago ba created a eensatlon. , lit U professor of sociology at the university of which Juhn P. Hocke feller in the mainstay, yet he dlivered an address on "The Vnlno of Sociological Btndy to the Minister" before the Methodist preacher. In the course of hia remark! he saidi "In this age of ao called democracy we are getting info the thrall of the moat relentli's system of economic oil garchy that history tbna far record "That capital from which most of na, directly or Indirectly, get our bread and bntter i becoming the uumt an democratic, inbnrtian and atheistic of all the heathen dlvinitlea, ) It breed children only ,to deronr the bodies of aome and the sonl of other and to tot ont the Dfil ritual eyesight of the rent. "In spite of the historic campaigns for liberty, in spite of the achieve merit of Christianity, there baa never bran a time since Adam whs born when the Individual counted for so little or availed so little as today, , 'Compared with any worthy concep tion of what society must become if life U to be tolerable, the socialistic indict ment against onr civilization are es sentially sound. Mind, I do not any the remedies ar aonnd, tntlbe indictment are trne," .. ; ;'. , Af abstract proposition thr-ao ding nom'i expose with approximate truth the ghastly incqnolitic and Injustice which onr present nodal order sacrifices, "It is a literal and cardinal fact tbut onr present economic system erica to heaven for rectification.

It unlliiios the purposes of Owl, The men who denounce present nociety have profound reason for their complaint, We are in the midst of the moat .bewildering labyrinth of social entanglement In which the buman race ha wandered np to date. "If yon will heed (he symptoms from bank and utiles aud factory and railroad headquarter and daily press, yon have discovered that the very men who are making these combination are begin ning to be afraid of their own abadowa. Th very business men, who claim to have a monopoly of prtiet leal common sense, have involved themselves and all the ret of na in n grim tragedy of error, "They are already beginning to ask on tho.qniet how it I all to end. Whether they realize It or not, onr vi rion of freedom ia passing into ecllptio of universal corporate compulsion In the interest of capital. The march of tin man progress I getting reducible to marking time In the lockstepof capi tal' chain gang. , "I have no donbt whatever that the vaat majority of capitalist are good capitalists, They operate trictly within the rnlea of the game. Nevertheless capltaliMtn la not a good game, and it la onr business to tee the reason why. The whole programme of onr present civillcation tnrna at lat cm the calco let ion of effect npon the accumulation of capital. "We have tnrned moral value p aide down.

"It would be infinitely more for hu man weal if every dollar of wealth abonld be cleaned from the earth If we conld bave instead of It industry and honesty and juatice and love and faith than to be led mnch farther into thin dovil'a dance of capitalism. " Aaotaar "Liberal" I alvaraitr. The official announcement ia made that Profeiwor John R. Common, the head of the department of aoclology in Hyracuae university, ia to retire from the faculty. It ia aaid that Professor Common doe not get out voluntarily, but liaa been encouraged to do ao by the univer sity board of trustee. Recent facts verify this. It baa been learned that Professor Commons' retirement 1 really due to the fact that b Is a free silver man. The main point of the contention twean the professor and the trustees for several weeks ha been the currency qastticn.

The most important thing In onr modern life la completely left ont of the ordinary education and only lightly touched in any of onr educational in etitutions. It ia the subject of eeonorn ice. When thin subject i presented in our advanced colleges, it is treated in an abstract way a "faraway" sort of way without application to practica needs and with duo regard for existing institution. The philosophy of money, the principle involved in the transpor tatlon question and the many questions concerning land titles, land tenure, tax atlon, etc, are not tunght. Yet these question enter into tbe daily lives of n all, and they should be a part of the common school education of every American boy. One objection is that they ore too difficult. They are not half as difficult as algebra or Greek, It seems that "the powers that be" wish a veil of mystery to sbrond these que' tiotm, just a tbe Indian medicine man wishes to be protected in tbe monopoly of the incantation business, Tbe people are made to believe that these questions are "too deep" for the ordinary mind, yet every college student and almost every schoolboy eolvea more difficult problems every day. I now have in mind a man who kept a fish stall In a market bouse who ba become immense' ly wealthy by giving some plain, every' day business attention to the economics of atreet car transportation, And tbe people are foolish enough to allow the companies of this man to nse the public streets, which belong to the people, and they pay 0 cent fares while the cost is less than 2 cent. Even school children are charged this exorbitant fare. Tbe city bas spent million for a magnificent park, but the poor, even the children of tbe poor, must pay a tribute to the atreet car company in order to go to tbe park. The city wonld better have spent less for tbe park and owned the means or the pecple to get to it to enjoy it. Dot this need not be an expense, for a light profit could be made at 9 cent fare,.. m The general stndy of economic wonld rapidly bring better condition to tbe masses. The farmer is the original pro ducer and consequently tbe foundation of society, , He has to contend against two things uncertain crops and un stable prices, A proper solution of the money question would render price comparatively stable. Vet tbe average farmer is caught by "jingoism" and cares mora ahont tbe American flag floating over distant islands than for his pressing and legitimate interest at i borne, A proper solution of the railroad ! question wonld not force coal miners in Pennsylvania to starve while the farm ers of Nebraska are burning their corn ' to keep warm, A rational arrangement of public transportation would bring prodncersand consumers closer together, 1 to tbe great advantage of both. Yet the attention of voters is kept on question of far less importance to them, and our educational institution continue miss- ; log the mark by "pottering about" on branches of little practical everyday valne. We pride ourselves on our school and college, on the universality of edu cation In this country, on our newspa pers and magazine and on the un usually high intelligence of our people a a whole, yet we do not apply the same to our most vital interests. Public utilities, snch as transportation, tbe telegraph, banking, etc., are left to tbe management of private coteries, and, of ronrxe. the management ia in the in terest of these private coteries, and, lo cally, street car transpoi tation, tele phones and usually the water supply, gas, electric lights, etc., are left to pri vate ownership and operation, of course, in tbe interest of the owners instead of tbe public, though the street belong to the public When will tbe people waken np to these facta and cease to waste the precious scluKiltime of youth on im practical subject and put that time on subjects which Involve the general good of all! When will voter cease to allow tbelr attention to be occupied by "flap doodle." to the neglect of the most vi tal public interests, a proper manage ment of which wonld vantly improve tbe condition of all t-Dr. U F.

' Under the above caption, in your Issue of two weeks iigo, 1 noticed an artioi from C.

Mv friend Cole aureea with tbia proposi tion. Now to show the falsity ol bis honest dollar, let ua suppose that the United States' government should stop the further Issue of money of any kiud whatsoever, but leave in circulation wbat money we bave, A tbe present supply ol money becomes wasted away lost, destroyed or carried out of the country, and the business changes and population of the country Increases, it ia sell evident to the thoughtful mind, that the purchasing or exchange power of each dollar will be greatly enhanced, al though tbe dollars of void or silver con tains the same quantity of metal aa be fore. Nothing can be more dishonest tban a dollar of tbla kind, Flutocracy baa been giving us juat this kind of 1 dollar. Instead of our government coin lug and stamping money ao that it shall keen pace with business exchangee and population, It ba limited tbe output, of money by stooping tbe coinage of silver ana restricting tne issue 01 paper money to aush a degree that w have a less number of dollar in circulation today than we Dad at tne c nse 0! tbe rebellion. All this, notwithstanding tbe nonulatlon 01 our country has doub -d aud the bus ni ss of onr country (the true' test of the amount or money needed) naa trebled.

This I a dishonest dollar, An honest dollar la tbe dollar wbleh has tbe same purchasing uower at all time. An absolutely honest dollar I perhaps unattainable, but we can ap proximate it, iiowy nr causing our circulating medium to keen paoe wltb the business of the country, and in uo other way, If we could only get tbe common people, the wealth producers, (not tbe wealth absorbers) to understand this. the money question would be settled in abort order, It ia easy to understand bow tb man wltb bis millions invested In interest bearing bonds is selfishly interested in the dollar which has an Increased pur chasing power, slues bis Income will pur chase tbat much more of tbla world's goods and gives bim greater power over bis fellow-men.
