UOMOO IT Bns.na It took until 1879 for the country to "grow up to its currency." Export of bumper crops brought enough gold into the country so that at last the greenbacks became redeemable in gold. But they remained in circulation, being reissued when turned in for payment in com.

(Next: The World Turns to Gold.) No sooner were they issued thafl the greenbacks began to depreciate. Not only gold and silver dollars but even minor com were driven out of circulation, and first business firms and then the government itself had to issue paper nickels, dimes and quarters, derisively called "shinplasters By 1864, greenbacks were worth only 35 cents on the dollar. But the debtors of the '60s and '70s, like those of '75-lOQO (and those of 1929-1933) demanded more money to pay their debts. Sporadic attempts to retire greenbacks by paying com for them met only moderate success. 'Alien -he Civil War broke out.

the government again faced a lack of tax revenue fo carry on the war. It began issuing paper money, or "greenbacks. At first it intended to redeem these in com, but soon there were too many of them. Mrs. Ervin Everson, 77.

The Carroll bill, practically assured of passage In the assembly, will give Gov. Schmedeman dnect control over sate emplovment, and he can take any or all jobs out of civil service and without public notice abolish competitive examinations for any position.

Schmedeman signs the Carroll bill, however, the die-hards who have stuck around the governor's office for months despite attempts to refer them to the bureau of personnel will lead a new flood of jobseekers who will call the governor at all houis. invoke the influence of Democratic chieftains, and in general make life miserable for the governor and his staff. Vntually all other functions of the governor's office will come to a standstill with the staff swamped by the work of talking to job-seekers and answering lnqumes by mail, just as was the case in the first days of the governor's term.

Progressives do not believe rewarding campaign workers with appointments because they have found that a person in state offices is of no further value to the party, since he immediately begins a non-aggressive course in an attempt to protect his job.

Though I am but poor and mean. I will more the rich to loe me. If I'm modest, neat and clean.

And submit when they reprove me. I like better, as a verse for the unemployed, those lines of William E. Henley: In the fell clutch of circumstance, I hare not winced nor cried aloud, Under the bludgeonings of chance Mv head is bloody but unbowed. I earnestly uige the unemploied ev etj city and town to mgutue and asseit their rights as American citizens, entitled to life, libeity, and the pursuit of happiness, as our Declata-tion of Independence puts it. As William Green has recently pointed out, these are but empty words, unless men are gtrn the RIGHT TO WORK and to rerehe detent wages And decent wages consist of something more than a dollar a day, with board and clothes, which is the remuneration given to th- forest workman.

INDLCFN IS Hi! VND certainly decent wages are something more than a dollar a day, with a noon-day lunch, and th work limited to THREE or FOUR DAYS A WEEK, as in St. Petersburg. Why not speak plainly about this matter? The unemployed are being robbed by the rich. They are the victims of a great social wrong, a wrong which is declared by the laws of our land to be a crime. I refer, of course, particularly to the Sherman act which declares all trusts and combinations in restraint of trade" to be criminal, and says that they shall be punished bv fines or imprisonment or both; but instead of trying to enforce this law our congiess and our state legislations have been GUARDING monop-oiv )uilaes and immunities, and GRANTING new ones OI SOI KCLS IT is a stale and twice-told tale to sav that we hate the richest country in material resources of inv on earth, that we have a citizenship sober, industrious and resourceful.

There is no demand because our people HAVE NO MONEY to buy the things they need. They have no money to buv the things needed because so manv people have TOO MUCH MONEY. For a long term of too large a share of the produces of industry have gone to those enjoying monopoly privileges, leaving fhp woikers with such small wages as prevents them from buving bark the things they have produced. IMMPI (IYM1NT INCREASING IN ST PETERSBURG, as in most places the unemployment problem is constantly growing more serious We have upon our roll of those needing relief, 2 7.12 names.

We paid out during the month of Match considerably more than we ever paid before In anv one month, for relief work. The amount was over $18 000; about 80 per cent of this camp from the Federal Reconstiuction Finance Corp and about 40 per cent from city-funds. The above $18 000 does not include the amounts dispersed by the Salvation Army and other organizations supported bv voluntary contributions. ALA ATION ARMY riHIS 'reminds me to say that I have been told bv ritv authorities that the municipality has no funds that can be used to help transients of the kind who so often approach you on the street and ask for money, for a meal, or for a cup of roffep and a sandwich.

De Wolfe Hopper, one of the pseudo-peasants, looked so native his best friends didn't recognize him.

Matlene Dietrich and other women may have gone bark to skirts, but there still seems to be a suppressed yen for trousers among women, judging by the numbers of them who appeared as bellhops, gigolos, cow bo vs, Spanish troubaaors, pirates and be-smocked Bohemian artists.
