were represented at this meeting' and
very successful year' business as re
ported, bo popular lias mutual insur
ance become in Iowa that companies
ro beinir talked of for the purpose of
mutual insurance in towns and cities
-and no doubt such arrangements will
be perfected there in a short time. Old
line companies have practically ignored
farm insurance in Iowa the past few
.years, the mutuals getting nearly all
the business in farm and country risks.
The threatened organization of mutual
companies for city and town risks may
cause an entire revision of the rates on
reekleoce property. Our people Bhouid
fira this matter more attention than
ihey are doing in this state.

Philosophy ud I alt f Vala of
ohr.
Perple-Ing. undoubtedly, it rosy bo
to many whether there should bo
but one unit of value of money of a
certain substance as gold, or units of
value of different substances as gold,
silver, nickel etc. This, to have
two or more comparative unit of
value, is practical and just, provided
the unit values are the same and can
bo made to continue so. Hut if these
substances of unit values should fluc
tuate in value enough so as to be
noteworthy, then these would be no
specific meaning to a unit and would
cause confusion. For Instance, say
tbe units of value of d liferent sub
stances, gold, silver and nickel,
were each made the same in value.
Now. were they not kept so. having
the dollar us the unit then a dollar
would have no specific value nor tho
term dollar no specific meanine.
Under these conditions, say gold and
silver should fluctuate in sucn a man
ner that the specified unit of silver
was equal in value to twice the speci
fied unit of gold, then a dollar of
silver would be worth twice as much
as a dollar of gold; and thus cause
confusion in business and subject to
contention.
To explain still more, we can com
pare this one unit of value of differ
ent substances to a unit in dry meas
ure; as the unit in dry measure,
where a bushel is tbe unit Here is
to be seen tbut it matters not how
many different kinds of substances
the bushel measure is made, whether
of pine poplar, oak or hickory, just
so they are of the same size or hold
the same amount. So. it matters
neither how many different kinds of
substances the unit of value is made,
provided these different units of value
would remain the same.
While I think that gold and silver
would not fluctuate su liciently to
make a difference worthy of note and
practically would answer. writes
Prof. A. 1. A. Strata still It would
not be as logical and staple a basis in
tbe end as if but one unit of value as
of gold would exist Hut after the
unit of value is once established it
should remain so: for there is much
partiality and injustice to chango the
unit of vulue in money a ter transac
tions have been mode as there is in
changing the size of the bushel unit
of measure after transactions have
been made.
However, when money of intrinsic
value is not uniform in value, whether
gold or other hard money of commer
cial value, owing to natural or other
causes, it produces no change in the
price of commodities nor no one is
there encroached; the fiat keeps it
regulated. That is. it is not the ma
terial out of which the money is made.
nor the commercial value of the gar
title used that regulates prices of com
modities; but it is tho volume of mon
ey that regulates it The ohject of
having this unit of value specified, is
to give certainty and stability in busi
ness, and insure justice in redeeming
fiat currency. Or again, the object
of having a unit of value of money
specified is to ascertain its meaning
and give a basis to make calculations
in business; while the object of a uni
form volume of money is to keep the
prices regular afterwards.
I may add. that by fiat I mean that
which makes money of no intrinsic
value (as treasury notes), valid and
acceptable, the same us money of in
trinsic value a security by the na
tion, whore the resources, the faith
and the property of tho people are

Sam, I c;n't help feoling ashamed
when I meet People's party men.
leant help thinking they associate
me with the thieves in tlie Democratic
party. W hy. hum. our majority is
far larger thun it ever was. and yet
we know ihut thousandth jf men have
loft our party. Just look: at them all
around us aud all over the state,
and then for such an increase to come
up is outi-a;;oous.
Well. Bill it does look bad. but
then you know thero is no honesty in
politics nohow, and I reckon o .r men
know what is best J, st suppose,
now, that those cranky People's party
men had a got in. They'd a ruined us.
Well 1 don t like them no better
than you do. 1 won't go to hear them
speak or read their ol l papers, but I
do hale to atihate and associate with
a party that is a political thief, and
I am not going to any longer. I just
know from the returns that our fel
lows stole them out, and I'm a going
to vote against them until they quit
it 1 believe in honest elections. I
can live us well as any of them, if
they do get in. i'ra not going to be a
party to political thieving any longer.
Honesty first and party afterwards.
Bill you can't afford to leave your
party, no matter what they do. You
have got a youns- family and many
frienda and jour neighbors would
drop you they won't visit you. and
when they meet you at church or the
lodge they will treat you coldly, and
you know it You've got too much
sense to do such a thing. No, let
them steal if they want to. If you
don't have anything to do with it you
are not guilty. fttt
The thunder we ain't when we
vote for men here who won't vote to
consolidate tho elections, and make
laws that will make election honest!
Yes we are, and hereafter I never in
tend to vote for another man who
does not favor a freo ballot and a fair
count, and I believe the best way to
do it is to vote for the third party.
They are in earnest about that
Bill 1 don't bother my brain about
politics. I vote my party ticket, and
let them that knows more than I do
say what is best
I intend to vote my party ticket
straight until h 1 freezes over and
you mind what I tell you. You can't
be a third party man and have friends
among the solid people.
