REDEEMING MONEY PREACHED TO THE PEOPLE Mr. K. 0. Spaulding, a banker in Bur. falo. N. Y in time of the war, chairman of the eiitiennimittee on wav and means in 1861, 180'J and 1803 end known in fiuaucial history a 'The Father of the Greenbark," difCunHwl commodity redemption of money as fol- "Every time a hundred dollnr bill pBe from one pernou to another, it is a practical redemption of it by the per son who takes it. Every time a mer chant at Chicago pa. to a farmer five huudred dollars in national cnnenry for a carload of heat, the farmer by the operation ".redeems such national cur rency for a carload of wheat, the farmer by the operation redeems such national currency, not iu greenbacks nor in gold, but in a commodity better than either, namely, wheat, a staple article useful to all. So every merchant in N-w Yoik that sells a bale of cotton good and re ceives hi pay for it in currency, redeems such currency, not iu the way that banks redeem it, but in cottou good, which is far better, becau-e it perform the true functions ot money by facilitat ing the leuitimatesale of commodities. Bo every time that a merchant or manu facturer pays his internal revenue tax to the United States coiuctor in nnuoiim currency, the government redeems such currency bv receiving and discharging such tax. So every mechanic or laborer tbat receives national enrreucy for bis service redeems such currency by the labor performed. So it will be seen that just as long as the national currency is practically redeemed every day in its passage from band to hand in the pay ment of commodities and service, and in ths ramified operations of trade and busidees both with the government and ine people wnjw urru"un 1(i j. LjBff tnpilitRtP. therein not the slightest ne- .1' ceseityfor resorting to the expensive! and rieky operation of assorting and sending it home for redemption. "Spaulding's History," Appendix, p. 10. No man ever yet explained what util ity resulted from exchanging one kind of dollars for another kind ot dollars. Swapping dollars is not redemption Stall. It is redeemed as it passes from hand to hand and is the only redemption tbat is possible. When money will not pass from hand to hand iu everyday business then, and not till then, does it become "irredeemable money." IT'3 ALL RIGHT. The Journal was pleased to note tbs election of J. II. Eilmleten as chairman ot the populist state central committee. Mr. Edmisteo has no superior as an or ganic Mr in the state, and none who ars better posted, politically. Under his efficient management of tbs campaign, ths very best result will be brought out, and we look to the fu-ion majority in Nebraska next November larger than ever before io its history: Sauudt rs Co. Journal. EuiTOii Independent: -I think a good many readers of the Independent will be interested in the work now being done by Mr. George E. Iligelow, of this city. With your permission I will tell them of it just an it was told me, with no thought of publication of the same. Mr. Iligelow has been absent nearly four months holding meetings in Iowa and Illinois chii fly. He hires no ball, doesn't even mount a box or a wagon, but simply takes his station at some fre quented street corner, reads a scripture text aud proceeds to expound Christiau principles as applied to modem life HU1 present day condition. He makes the application of Christian principles not only to the moral aud spiritual life, but to the social and political as well. Upon the hitter topic be boldly declares that there is only oue political question now before this country, the right ot men to have what their labor creates. He does not call party names nor deal in partisan abuse, but goes straight ahead to state the truth as he sees it aud applies it to the wrongs which any one sees in life about him today. To n bom does he speak? To all who will stop and listen, most of them of the middle and laboring classes. Gener ally bis crowds nuiiilter from 100 to 200, sometimes 300 or 400. The towns from 5,000 to 10,0000 gives him the best audiences. In the greater cities the countless other street diversions distract tne puoiic mind irom attention to oue lone man, siieaking without hand or pa rade on serious subjects, la tne email, r towns the people are shy and the class which do most of the listening aud on tneea subjects are not numerous enough upon the streets to ninks a crowd. Put in the medium sil"d cities he has never failed to secure his crowd and bold most ot it to the eud. Generally the crowd is in sympathy with bis ineeeHge, its utterauce disclosing the great unrest that stirs the hearts ol lovai earnest men and women everywhere at the injustice and unchristianitv nt the present social and "business" systems. Only once in alt his HMetiiiiis has he had disrespectful inter ruption from anyone. I i trout of the Kirks ood hotel in l-s Mmoinee bespoke to a crowd of 800 the most ot whom were traveling men who applauded Ins seotinients aud contributed to biscolltc- tin. !S, leaking of the collection suggests that it is by them that Mr. Iligelow pays nis way ana supports bis family in Lin coin. They are not large collections either, tickles aud pennies oflener than dunes and irom i to f 3 a eight the general a verge. Hut they express the good will ot the listeners and encourage be speaker to continue bis work. At first be had a singer with a guitar but tbs singer fell sick and after some mis givings Mr. Iligelow resolved to go ahead relying on the plain pwer of the troth p'ainly presented to win him hearers. So far It has not failed. In 1 15 diys be ban held 113 meetings and not ons of them a failure. The only way he can account for it is the tremendous undercurrent of thought among the people on the topics presented. Alter a brief visit with his family in Lincoln Mr. Rjgelow has returned to his work. I confess there is soniethicg in it intensely interesting to me more than that something iiiteusely encouraging. The picture of one man of slender means going out upon the streets without music or missionary society back of him and speaking more than 100 nights in succession to audiences of i!00 and up ward upon the vital questions aff. ctmg the social ami ruortl progress nhhe peo ple, holding his crowds aud making his own way from their contributions is one full of hope and inspiration. It means tbat the people are hungry for the truth and willing to honor the hero ism that brings it to them. Some of the conditions that make listeners were told me by Mr. Iligelow, of which I can only give one. It relates to the condition of labor even under praised "prosperity. It was ut Lyons, Iowa, the centre of a great lumber and lumber manufacturing interest that he was waited upon at the close r f his meet ing by a man who said be wanted to corroborate bis statements regarding the condition of labor. "I will tell you what I am getting myself. I am a paint er. 1 was out of work a lerga pare oi me time after the pauic of 1S03. At present I have work. I have a "ym " I am en gaged in priming doors for one of our sash and door factories. I prime them for three cents a door and can do from twenty five to thirty a day. That is the kind of prosperity I am enjoying and there are many others." Lincoln, Sept. 4. A. E. Sheldon. OVER PRODUCTION, v The overproduction theory is being laughed at even by the most ignorant ' people in Texas. Why? Because tbey see too many proofs of Its fallacy. While I . t. a...n.. .1 ...

The farmer is being forced back to first pnntipies and becomiug once more a raiser of his owu living, au eater of his own mndt, as well as biug his own blacksmith, carpenter, doctor and preacher.

The permanency of typewritten rec ords Ib a subject of no little Importance and it is worthy of note that a series of experiments Is being conducted in Boston with a view of establishing the relative value of the leading brands of typewriter ribbons. Robert T. Swan, the state commissioner of public rec-1 ords for the state of Massachusetts, Is ! doing some good work in this direc- tlon. He finds that of the different ' colors used for typewriter ribbons, the red, green, blue and purple are not per manent, black being the only one that will stand the tests to which he sub jects the writing. The legislature of Massachusetts, which recently ad journed, passed an act permitting type written records to be accepted as offi cial when approved by the commis sioner of public records, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey having previously taken similar action. In other words, no such records will be accepted unless the materials used are up to the standard, and the commis sioner Is expressly authorized by the statute referred to to withdraw his approval at any time when he shall find that the articles used fall below such standard. This Is an important matter which should be acted upon In every state, for the illegible Is some thing that ought to be carefully pro vided against, otherwise it were much better to keep In force the provision that legal records shall be written only with pen and Ink. It Is possible, we think, to produce typewritten records that are quite as permanent as any pro duced by writing with a pen, and In view of the greater legibility of the former as well as their economy of production, it is desirable that this ihould be done. While the states gen erally have no official corresponding to the commissioner of public records of Massachusetts, It ought to be made somebody's business to supervise the matter of permanency of public rec- itia.
