But whatever may be the form
of the people’s currency, na
tiomti or state, whether gold,
stiver or paper, it should be so
regulated and so guarded by
governmental action, or by wise
and careful laws, that no one
can be deluded as to ike cer-
taintly and stabiliy of its val-
ue. Every dollar put into the
hands of the people, should be
of the same intrinsic value or
purchasing power. Witli this
condition absolutely guaran-
teed, both gold and silver can
be safely utilized upon equalf tfe
terms in the adjustment of ottr
currency. In dealing with
this subject no selfish scheme
should be allowed to intervene,
and no doubtful experiment
s li o u 1 d be attempted. T h e
wants ol our people arising
from the deficiency or imper-
fect distribution of money cir-
culation, ought to be fully and
honestly recognized and efli
cjently remedied. It should,
however, lie constantly remem-
bered, that lack of confidence,
or the loss that might arise from
such a situation, can be much
more easily borne than the
universal distress which must
follow a discredited currency.

from drouth, and has had to
contend against low prices,
caused byt a glutted market
but his prospects are now
brightening rapidly, and an era
it notofthe old time high prices,
yet of good returns for his
trouble, is about to dawn upon
him. This is the consensus of
opinion; “The cattle business
is in better shape now than
it has been for years. • The
country has been too dry, has
had too. many cattle and too
little grass. Now we have
Mr. Cleveland's letter accept-
ing the nomination of his party
for the presidency made its ap-
pearance last week. In discus-
sing the tariff question the
writer expresses the option
that a readjustment can be ac-
complished in accordance with
the principles professed by his
party without disaster or dem-
olition; that tiie advantages of
freer raw- materials should be
accorded to our manufacturers,
and that what is contemplated
is a fair and careful distribu-
tion of necessary tariff burdens
rather than the precipitation of
free trade. Mr. Cleveland ar
gues against the plan of federal
supervision of elections discios-
tl^.in Texas today than there
has been for fifteen years.
People are just beginning to
realize that instead of hunting
grass in the Indian territory,
they have plenty here. Theie
were,-according to the last cen-
sus, 8,000,000 cattle in this
state, but drouth and heavy
shipments have done their work,
and I very much doubt if there
are 4,000,000 head in the state
now. This state of affairs will

tend to clear up the mystery:
