Hundreds of other people have had the same
experience with sample packages of i'obucco

remedy which can be given in drink or food and
will positively cure any patient without his

remedy is just as certain to cure. .The Rogers

Good Roads
Editor Independent; How to get
good roads and other public Improve
ments at little cost to the people.
P'irst Change the law, so that bonds
can be issued by municipalities and
counties in denomination of one dol
lar, and multiples of one dollar, bear
ing no interest." ' - - -
b'econd IS3U2 of such bonds, by the
proper authorities, receivable for
taxes by the county or municipality
where issued.
Third We always have the mater
ial, the labor and skill; the only thing
to be supplied, other than these, is
the medium of exchange, and the
bonds as above described fill the bill;
it is well known that our public treas
uries are neany always empty, noth
ing left for good roads or other pub
. lie improvements, and when such of
our much needed improvements are of
a necessity demanded, a loan must be
resorted to from private persons or
corporations at a com para, ive high
.rale of interest. This rate of interest
weakens the issue, inasmuch as re
demption is just that much harder
to accomplish.
It may be said by some doubting
ones that such bonds would not circu
late; but this would only be an as
sertion, not substantiated by any ob
tainable proof; while upon the other
hand we assert that they would cir
culate, and more that they would
bring about the most prosperous times
ever before known in any community,
because we could then afford to have
all public improvements of the best,
all labor would bo so employed at
good wages to bo able to live "in a
civilized and becoming manner. The
merchant, farmer and the banker, all
and each must of necessity prosper.
Now, In proof of our assertion, that
eurh bond issues would circulate, wo
will offer the following. In 1S37, or
State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas
County. ss.
Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he

More About Value
Editor Independent:. In the spring
of 1900 congress gravely enacted to
diino aixl fix a standard of value ac
cording to the title of its act. What it
italy did enact was to define a debt
r.ay.ig commodity and fix its use on
debt-producing, debt-perpetuating con
ditions. In this, congress may have deceived
itself. At anv rate its action is well
adapted to deceiving others.
The act declares that the gold dol
lar shall be the standard unit cf value.
Had congress defined value we might
at least determine whether it was con
sistent with' itself. But it has left
every person to determine for him
self as to what value really is.
bo here we are In the twentieth
century of Christian civilization with
out any agreement regarding a term
which is used oftener than any other
in writings on the supremely import
ant subject, economic.
- To bring the nooDle to a realization
of their absurdly foolish subjection
to the syndicated usurer, their eyes
must be opened to the fact that the
essential clement of money today is
government impaited. This cannot be
done so long ns the idea prevails that
value is in the substance of things.
Tho reasoning on the part of tho
mass Is: "Money must have value.
The substance of a thing constitutes
Hi value. Therefore, aa covcrnmint
does cot produce " the substance cf
money, jt doe. not produce money."

We have the term "worth." It let.

during Martin Van Buren's adminis
tration, there ' was a money panic;
business was at a standstill and In
order to obviate a complete or almost
a complete abandonment of business
affairs, private notes were issued and
passed current For many years the
old State Bank currency passed cur
rent, and in many of the states the
banks had no specie in bank as a re
demption fund.
Our national bank paper is private
paper, not legal tender, and its only
safety lies in the-fact that the gov
ernment holds its own bonds upon
which it pays interest, and as security
for its agent's paper circulation, and
no one refuses to receive this private
medium of exchange. National LondaJ
are no safer than city or county bonds
would be local?v. Behind the national
bank paper money, the government
stands as the. principal and the bank
officers as ag?nts who receive the
profits.
Now we will propose to show how
thl3 system would operate, in prac
tice. Suppose any city wanted to
build a fifty-thousand dollar school
house; the city would issue its bends
at the premium of 1 per' cent, when
used for paying taxes, then the tax
payer would want them, the laborer
could pay local bills, and they would
soon find their way into the countj, or
municipal treasury, and could then be
reissued for other necessary improve
ments, no 5 per cent interest, no gold
redemption, but constant, universal
prosperity.
We here submit another practical
illustration of the operation of our
proposition. In the Isle of Guernsey
there was need of a market bouse.
The governor met the citizens, he
asked them if they had the material,
the labor and the skill, all of which
they informed him they had, but no
money; he assured them that they
could find a way to have their market
house. They issued their bonds as we
propose, the market was built, no
money needed, and whm completed
they owed no one, and in the course
of time their rents had cancelled all
their bonds.

can be obtained by means of it. But
objects of exchange ar-3 not the ulti
mate object of exchange. The ulti
mate object of exchange is human
desire regarding the things to be ex
changed. Exchanges are made to
satisfy desires. That which is de
sired less is exchanged lor that which
is desired more. Human desires are
the basis of all commercial activity.
The amount that will be given in
exchange depend on the Intensity of
the desire to exchange with, of course,
ability to give. J. P. Morgan gives
forty thousand dollars for a picture.
King Edward gives over seven thou
sand for a certain two-cent postage
stamp. These numa do not properly
represent tie value of theso objects.
They simply express the fact that tho
desire of the parties for the objects
obtained was greater than ihtlr de
sire for the money required in ex
change. The real value of the ob
ject consists of tho utmost desire of
tho partlen In euch Inntance. It might
