Lwrud Ut From the Kanaas City Star: Ac companying the other harbinger of spring, the robin, the game of marble la the alley, the tan shoe, comes the learner on the bicycle. The cool, bracing air of an evening and the kny stretchee of smooth roadway tempt him, and In hie mind's eye he pictures spins Into the country, healthful, exercise apd an appetite like that of a plowman. But above all he Is Impelled to learn by a dread of being considered a faddist. All of his friends ride. Already he Imagines they look upon him askance and speak of him as a sort of Philip Noland a man without a wheel. For six successive seasons he has held out against the temptation and now he curees himself for his pains. Why didn't he learn then, when everybody was learning. Instead of postponing the ordeal until now, when all are past masters in the art? So he may be seen every fine evening upon the level, asphalt paved side streets struggling to subdue an untamed steed of the patents of '95, which costs him 25 cents an hour, with a $2 indemnity against breakage. All this is gall and wormwood to the modest man. Not that he cares for the knocks and bruises. He would gladly double their number could he but escape the prying eyes, the derisive guffaws and sniggers of the men and women who have passed through It all years, years before. For these reasons he is a creature of apprehension and agony. After discovering the fallacy of tha theory that the art can be acquired in a back kitchen with the curtains drawn he remembers a particularly unfrequented side street, Hned with trees that help to obscure the light of moon and lamps. He takes off the handle bare of hie machine to give the Impression that the machine ts out of order and that he is on his way with It to the repair shop. This furnishes him with an excuse for not riding. Then he sallies forth, leading his wheel. The unfrequented Is due north, so of course he goes south, and tacks back to the windward side, like a yacht, and beats and maneuvers and hauls down his halyards and reeves the binnacle and so on and finally he heaves to in front of a livery stable, which he goes through till he reaches the alley and then by a sudden port movement he emerges trembling and demoralised upon the darkened thoroughfare. Of course, everybody etops to watch him tangle himself In his wheel. They gather In little groups along the driveway, and when he falls and appears about to slide, bicycle and all, into the catch basin of a sewer, they can between spasms of mirth tender him assistance. It is well to leave him at such a time as this to settle with the man from whom he rented the bicycle and with his Maker. VITAL MOST ISSUE. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND IT. We nave Grown Rich and Prosperous In 8 pita of the Worst Money System Uo Ever Devised but Wo Cant On. Nothing la more Important at this juncture of our affairs than a correct understanding of the elementary principles of monetary science. We are now at a turning point in our history where action must be taken, and a mistake now made will be fruitful of evil In future years. Just such a case occurred when congress In changing the ratio of our coinage In 1834-3- 7 instead of making It conform to the French ratio of 15 to 1, which predominated in Europe, changed ours from 15 to 16 to 1. It was a mistake which has been felt for a half century. Now, when there is a public demand for a fixed policy and a sound currency, a large and growing body of the people demand, with every show of reason on their side, that the creation of money, being a sovereign power, lta issue Is a sovereign right to be exercised by the government only; tWhile another, less numerous but more powerful in wealth and privilege, insists that the government shall delegate Its powers In this important matter to private corporations, and still another body of men actually wish to have the old system of state banka of issue revived. The latter appear to he utterly unmindful of the lessons of the past Our country has grown great, powerful and rich. In spite of the most faulty financial system ever devised by the wit of man a system which has devastated the country with periodical panics more destructive than warfare, involving In wreck and ruin lta tens of thousands in each case and yet the country has survived and recuperated, and our people quickly forget, and go on repeating the same ruinous policy. It la the part of wisdom for nations as well as Individuals to be guided by experience. For a great and wealthy nation like ours to so utterly ignore the lessons of the past is not creditable to our intelligence, yet very many who ought to know better are advising that very course. To now talk of reviving the false and fatal system of ante helium days, of "red dog" and "wild cat paper money, with lta varying and uncertain value, requiring a constant study of the list of broken banka and of the latest counterfeit detector to minimize oases, is the feast which its advocates Invite us to. Let us have none of it, but get hack to first principles Instead of the old and exploded notions handed down to ua when colonies of the king. Why, England herself will have none of It now. She permits no banks of Issue in private hands except a few under old charters, and they are under severe restriction.

Any number of citations could be given to show thla Ask any of its apologists if they can conceive of any value in money not directly connected with something external to Itself? Its value lies In what it will do for Its owner, what it will fetch, or bring in exchange. Its value may, therefore, be termed extrinsic rather than Intrinsic. Now, then, one might as well argue for a flexible yard stick or surveyors chain as for a flexible money.

EARLY, Passenger Agent. rs It will certainly bring great cvih upon the country, for it Involves tbe power to regulate its value by the inflation or the contraction of the volume, as private Interest or greed may dictate. It is a matter of momentous import to our country, and should be well considered. Under such a system, it Is an easy matter to show how a transfer of the great bulk flf wealth of the country can be successfully transferred to tbe possession of a few. That process las In all conscience proceeded fast enough without nny such fictitious aid. It is best to call a halt, before we reach the precipice. We have had the use of a large volume of national money not larg; enough it la true, but of enough to show the American people. Its economls value, and to establish a regard for It as the best money In our country, for many years. Costless and safe, it has stood the test until as an object lessm It threatened the "vampire gold, then It was marked for destruction. That question Is now fairly before the people. Will they surrender their sovereign power? The edict has gone forth that the greenbacks must go, and the monopoly value of gold be increased and perpetuated. Then what? The transformation of our government into a plutocratic form, pure and simple. A powerful party, with unlimited wealth behind it, stands committed to that policy, though there are millions of Its supporters heretofore who will not follow it on that line now. Suppose that the United States were to become involved In a foreign war, and needing money should adopt the policy of issuing paper certificates which stated on their face that they would be received at their face value for all dues and debts to the United States. With an absolute dally demand by tbe government for money to meet Its enormous expenditure daily, and never ceasing, with unlimited power of taxation, what money could be belter than the people's own? We are not raising the question ol quantity at all, but of quality. Incomparably better than any bank issue, national or private, would be the same quantity of national paper certificates, the demand for which would be ceaseless and limited only by tbe taxes levied by the representatives of the people. Is it reasonable to suppose that the power to coin paper money Is merely a war power? That a great people may to conduct carnage on the field of battle possess such power, and yet not use It to promote the arts of peace, or even to avert calamities worse than war? Money, the great instrument of association, la essential to our civilization. Credit appliances can be made, and are made flexible; but the volume of money upon which credit appliances are based, should be fixed, and provided by law, issued by the sovereign power. It almost seems that some people think that the world waa made for coupon clippers, and that the chief end of man le to meet interests on bonded debts. Such people ,do not consider that from industry, promoted by a sufficient supply of money, all payments must come, and that hard times, caused by a contracted volume of money, Is not conducive to the just payment of debts, bonded or otherwise. It is not so much from low prices as from falling prices that the world has suffered. When prices are tending downward nobody will Invest money in property, but money is hoarded. We have given a monopoly value to gold, and there is a general want of confidence, not in the money existing, but In the value of all forma of property which constitutes the wealth of nations, and money the measure, la exalted not only above all wealth, but above humanity. It lx not more credit appliances more debts but a return of that confidence In the value of that which has In all past ages been esteemed as true wealth, and the restoration to its function of the money we see hoarded. That function la use in the transfer of wealth and competition for lta possession and distribution. This frill constitute the greatest benefit to be derived by the restoration of silver to Its place aa a full value money metal. But there must be no surrender of the sovereign right to coin all the money of the country. J. W. PORTER. time-honor- ed Tha Basis of Commerce. To my mind It appears preposterous to suppose that such an enormous fact as the commerce of the world can be made to rest upon three hundred and ninety-thre- e cubic yards of gold ! That, according to the best calculation, le the so called "usable supply of the yellow metal. If this bulk should be cast Into pellets of the size of small hazelnuts, there would not be one pellet apiece for the sons of men to say nothing about the daughters of woman. It Is literally true that. If all the gold existing should be made Into pills, the workingmen of the world could swallow It all before breakfast, and not six hundred of them would ever know the difference.
