PLANS OF BANKERS.

ANOTHER GREAT CONSPIRACY TO BE EXECUTED. Carlisle IIa Kxptalnvd What He Wants ami Ills I! Midi men Say Cuckoo" Outline of the Halt. more Flan One Advantage of l'ublic Ownership. Scheme of .Voney Shark. Anotlioi great conspiracy has leen planned by the banking corporations, tind it will bo executed with celerity and exactness, because the bankers Lave the assistance of the leaders of both the old parties, says the Washington correspondent of the Nonconformist. Carlisle's banking scheme, was drawn up by John Sherman and Congressman "Walker, of Massachusetts, will be put upon the statute books. Five more tricky politicians have entered the told of Wall Street. They are Senators Vest, George, Cockerell, Daniel and Jones, of Arkansas, all of whom were tierce free silver men up to a few months ago. Just before the adjournment of the last session of Congress the Big Jew" came to Washington and an attempt was made to perfect the conspiracy but failed. Another meeting was arranged to be held and was held in Cincinnati shortly afterward. There were present John Sherman, Vest, Cockerel, Walker, George and some others. The only ditTculty in the way of the conspirators were the Senate rules. If these rules were out of the way, every greenback and treasury note in existtuce would be retired and the sole power to issue currency be delegates to the banks at this session. All the details of the plan have long Jtgo been formulated and the bill was in the House Committee on Banking and Currency ready to be reported. The bill purported to be drawn by Joseph Henry Walker, llepublican, Representative of the Third Massachusetts District, but in fact it was the work of John Sherman. At this meeting it was arranged that the Democratic members should lead in the demand for a revision of the Senate rules. It would not do for any of the goldbug Senators to take the lead. To be certain of success, the proposition to change the rules so that a gag rule could be applied and the plan forced through a la Czar Heed, the proposition must como from Senators who were ostensibly in favor of free silver. The. very tirst thing introduced in the Senate were propositions coming almost simultaneously from Vest, Daniel and George to change the rules, the very men whoso bitterly opposed such a thing at the silver session. To deceive the people, the excuse to change the rules is to enable these virtuous Senators to down the sugar trust. These conspirators lost no time. The first resolution offered after the Senate convened and the President was informed that a quorum of both branches was present, was one .from one of these men to change the rules. No further proof is needed that this is a Wall Street conspiracy than the tact that this proposition came from the Democratic side. The Democratic party is to be. a small minority in the next Congress, and the present rules are the only protection to the minority. If Vest. Daniel & Co. were so fearful of force bills and negro domination as they have heretofore pretended to be, they would bj the last men to put themselves in this matter at the mercy of the Republican patty. The fact is, theso men have gone over to Wall Street and stand to-day in the same category as Dau Vorhees. The banking scheme of Cleveland and Carlisle is copied from Walker's bill and it was so very apparent that it caused universal comment. As soon as the message was read a crowd got around Walker and asked him if lie had been in consultation with Cleveland. While this whole thing is a AVnll Street Republican scheme, John Sherman and his followers keep very quiet, but if the rules aro changed they will be heard from immediately and the greenbacks will bo destroyed, the legal tender power of silver taken uway, and the banks given power to inllate or contract the currency at their own will while no reserve will be required to secure depositors. Resides all this, .00,()00,00(J more bonds will be issued during the next two years, for Cleveland says in his message that he intends to issue bonds whenever ho sees fit. That is what the fool farmers and workingmen voted for at the last election. Now let them take their medicine. Carlisle was not wrong when he said : "Humanity- well, they are mostly fools." The llalllmoro I'laii. The plan proposed by the bankers at their meciiug in Baltimore last month and the reccomendations of President Cleveland in his message, as well as the scheme which Secre arv Carlisle has embodied into a bill to be urged in Congress, are essentially the same though differing in some slight details. Mr. Carlisle's bill which has been presented to the house committee on banking repeals tho law which requires deposit of bonds as security for the payment of the bank notes and provides that the banks may issue notes to the extent of seventy-live per cent, oi their capital, upon depositing with tho United States Treasurer thirty per cenf. of tho amount issued. Tho circulating notes shall bo in 49:1ms of ten dollars or upwards. A duty of per cent, per nnmim is levied xn tho average circulation, also an equal sum each year, until an aggregate of live per cent, is paid in to the treasurer to be held as a redemption fund. Section seven provides that on July 1, 18'J5, tho present national banks may withdraw tho bonds now on deposit and substitute a thirty per cent. leposit. It is further provided that banks duly organized under the laws of any state shall bo exempt from taxation under the laws of the Unite! States. It will be observed that Secretary Carlislo has not included the suggestion of Mr. Cleveland that the banks tdiould be mutually responsible for the circulation and it is well onough that

this is left out, for if this was the law the whole plan would remain inoperative. Rankers know each other too well to stand responsible for each other. The scramble to see which one could fail iirst would be a highly amusing scene to the disinterested spectator. If the people can be made to stand good for the circulation as is proposed

it will make an entirely different state of affairs. Tho man who can raise thirty thousand dollars, can go into the banking business and have a hundred thousand dollars of money as good as gold to do business with. It will be as good as gold because the credit of the nation is behind it and every dollar that has ever been so issued is as good is any other dollar. Cleveland diin't have the courage to advocate such a idauin his message. His proposal that the banks of the nation mutually should be responsible for each other was more nearly in lin j with the theory of taking from the 1 government every appearance of being engaged in the banking business. Of course such a recommend was never iutended to be incorporated into law. The riat of the government is all that makes monev and whenever gov ernment fialj is eliminated from the business'there is nothing left but barter and trade. There is no money. Hence the government must guarantee the notes, or they will not pass current in the circles of trade. Cleveland's proposition would do to talk about in connection with the idea of eliminating the whole banking business, from any connection with the government, but that is onlv to throw a misty fog over the question. There was never the least intention of having the matter scriouslv considered. The government guarantee is the base of every dollar to be issued. The profit to the banking fraternity is the impelling force in pushing tho plan. Chicago Express. l'ublle Owiit-r-liip. At the last Wisconsin Legislature, says a dispatch, 84,000 passes, valued at -310,000, was distributed among the members and lobbv bv the railroads. Do von think it was done in the in! cr est of the people? Don't you know it was done to get special laws to benefit the railroads? If the laws they wanted were just, do you suppose they would have to bribe for them? And was it not in spirit, if not in form, selling laws to the highest bidder? Do you think the nation spent any money to bribe the Legislature to make laws in the interest of the p.ostolliceV Did the lostuiasters send great packages of stamps to members for favors? Can'; yo 1 see that as long as railroads are private property, run to make all the money that can be squeezed out of the people to go into the pockets of a few, that these few can afford to bribe and will bribe? If the railroads were public property don't you see that no one or a few would be benefited by any particular laws, but that all would share the benefits or injury ? Don't you see f nr. her that public ownership would thus save the business the cost of this lobbying, and all free passes, and all lawyers' fees, and a'l advertising, and all pompous ticket offices out of depo s, and all the expenses of traveling agents for passen ger and freight, and ten thousand smaller items, and that the tariff could bo reduced to the amount the roads now have to lew to pav these items? If you, as a voter, will not seo these things that so nearly concern your pocketbook, do you not know that those who profit at your blindness will continue to do so? As u voter, you are to blame for this condition, because you refuse to demand by the only means you can, your ballot, that another system, under which these things could not exist, is established. You must own the railroads, or thev will own you. Corruption in "Ilijjli" 11 tops. You know Judge Ricks is being investigated as to certain transactions in his court. The evidence produced is nice. His stenographer testified that she received j-15'J but signed a voucher for $"300. Other such testimony was also produced. Your Judge Ricks is the high mogul who had workingmen arrested for (putting work for the railroads last year. He is down on "anarchy," vou know. He is for law and order. Ho sees the law only for the corporations. Had some poor devil been brought before him who had allowed a voucher for fSOO when was the amount he would soon be in the jails that tho laborers have erected so the rich will have some place to imprison them. There is corruption in nearly, if not all tho courts, but you know that they must stick toget.Y-r. All tho courts that are ready with injunctions and other legal artillery in favor of the corporations are this kind of people. Corruption in "high" places is tho rule and not the exception to-day. Theso things are never brought out except when some of the participants get to quarreling. Com ing Nation. 1 1 ott It Would Work. If the Government would start a bank in your town the people would deposit their money in it. It would loan theso deposits out and before night tho money would bo back again. So it would bo from day to day. There would be about tho same amount of money in the bank all tho time, and vet it would loan hundreds and perhaps thousands every day. There would be no limit to tho loans because the money would come right back to the banks in tho shape of deposits. In most instances tho borrower would not take the money from tho bank, but leave it there on deposit and check it out. In such case the bank would simply givo him credit, on its books for tho amount of tho loan. It would take his note, say for $1,000, and would have his note and the money too. This loaning of credit is a great snap for individuals, and as Uncle Sam s credit is a great deal better than an individual's could b?, it would be a better snap for him. Missouri World. Trndm Unions and tlia Peoples Tarty. It does not requiro very close observation to uoto tho fact that generally speaking the two million votes cast fcr the Peoples party candidates at the last election camo from tbo farmers

and independent laboiersof Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and other western and southern s ates and not from the real labor organizations of the north and east. Members of the trades unions, generally, voted with the old parties as heretofore. After lighting Carnegie and Pullman and Rockefeller and other prominent representatives of gigantic trusts 'Sot davs in the year thev went to the polls on the 005th and nullified all their former efforts for reform by placing their ballots snugly alongside those of the very men they had been lighting. Trades unions and Peoples party are each aiming to accomplish certain results but each in a different way. Trades unionism h tho old way; Populism is the new way. Trades unionism has been in vogue for over a century; Populism is a political plaut of but recent growth. Trades . uuiouism arms itself with threats, the boycott and the strike; the Populist weapon is the ballot. Trades unions deals with the effect of misrule; Populists seek to remove the cause. Trades unions demand better wages, shorter hours, and oppose child labor; Populists demand plenty of money in circulation which will enrich the laborer and render the labor of Iiis chilil unnecessary. Trades unions scramble for the crumbs which fall from the table of prosperity: Populists propose to sit down at prosperity's table. Trades unions follow the policy of the serpent which bites at the stick with which it, is smitten; Populists attack the power which wields the weapon. Trades unions a' tack unjust laws; Populists move against the power which is responsible for unjust laws. Trades unions dip at the stream of otikial corruption; Populists are forcing their way up the same stream to cleanse th) fountain-head. Trades unions concentrate their efforts against a single employer of labor, and if they win a temporary and insignificant victory phout to the whole laboring world to fall in lino under their banner; the Populis's make a forward movement along their w hole line against the com

bined forces of the enemies of labor. The Peoples party constituto the Army of Reform : and trades unions should como into the ranks and take their place in the marching columns. Recause a woodman, closely pressed, ouce killed a bear with an ax, it is no sign that an ax is the best weapon with which to kill bear. So trades unions aro most excellent organizations for promoting the interests other than political of their members: but tor effecting political reforms, such as would give trades unions all and more than thay demand in politics, it 'needs a thoroughly organize I political party of honest people, organized for honest purposes. And that party is tho Peoples party. Chicago Sentinel. Iiws and Law vera. Our lawmakers are nearly all lawyers. Our judges are lawyers selected by lawyers. And did it never occur to you, reader, what an immense amount of litigation uud onscquent lawyer's fees can bj gotten out of an apparently simple ami just statu'o? A case is decided "according to tho law and the evidence," tho evidence frequently cutting very little ligurein the decision. It is carried to a higher court, again and again, and perhaps is finally sent back to the place of beginning for a fresh s art. And all the inie the lawyers are leaping a rich harvest from the field of contention. All because different lawyers and different judges place a different construction upon the same law. It may be truly sai I that it is a mighty poor lawyer who can't frame a law that will favor lawyers. A careful investigation of laws and lawyers will reveal the fact that our laws are evidently made to benefit lawyers rather than serve the ends of justice. Remedy: Choose o her tlun lawyers to make your laws. Thy cs.n I e made simple, easily understood, and i icapable of a dozen t.iffeient inteij pretations. It is related of an old farmer that on his deathbed he impatiently cast asido tho dozen or more pages of foolscap upon w hich a lawyer had written tho farmer's "last will and testament," and in lieu thereof he himself wrote on a sheet of note paper: "I hereby bequeath all my property to my wife and our two children, all to share alike. John Smith.' And it was admitted to probate without a quibble. If our laws were written in short, simple, plain sentences, leaving out nine-tenths of the whereases, tho a foresaids and the herein before mentioned, it would save a world of litigation and taxes. As long as our laws are made by lawyers in tho interest of lawyers, one ha I better make almost any sacrifice than go to law. (Juration and Amwrrs. Were any bonds issued for tho parpose of carrying on the war? Is silver legal tender money in any quantity under existing laws and regulations? Is any part of the nation's currency redeemable in silver? Can gold bo demanded for silver certificates? Are the bonds now being issued i ayablo in gold? Are the old bonds payable in gold? H. D. Opdyke. A in wer a, Tho act of 18G2 authorizing the issuo of 150 million of greenbacks authorized the issuo of 500 million of bonds, but they were not offered until May, 1SG3. Tho evidence is very plain that they were issued to satisfy tho bankers in their greed for iuterest, but not to secure money to carry on tho war. Silver coins aro legal tender for any amount except where stipulation to tho contrary exists in the contract. Tho law permitting such contract, is ono of the crowning acts of plutocratic villainy. Silver certificates aro redeemable in ail vor. A demand for gold in payment of silver certificates could not be inforced. The late issne of bonds are i ayablo in coin, but the treasury rulings will make them as well as the old bonds practically payablo in gold. -Chicago Express.

NEW CUBREXCY BILL.

SUBSTITUTE FOR CARLISLE'S PLAN INTRODUCED. Co Many Objections to the Old One that Mr. Sjr::i;;er and Secretary Carlisle Decide to Submit a New Measure News Notes. Some Tin ; ortant Cli-nivrcs. After conferences between the Demo cratic nienihers of the Hons Committee on lianking end Cv.rreuey and with the approval of the Secretary f the Treasury Mr. Springer introduced a suhstitute for the Carlisle curreiiey hill. It is substantially a new m asure. although some of the sections of the original measure are retained in the new bill. Two very important features make their appearance for the tirst time in the substitute. The main one will have the effect of allowing the national hanking system to run along, without j-.n arbitrary provision that banks must organize under the new system. The original Carlisle bill contemplated that a'l national banks must reorganize ruder the new plan. This would have required them to surrender the government bonds which now constb tute the basis of their circulation, lint the substitute does away with this imperative chang The other important feature of the substitute is that it does away with the unknown liability of banks to guarantee the notes of all other banks. This feature of the original bill has been much criticised. It contemplated that if a national bank failed its notes v.uuld be paid out of its assets and the general "safety fund' made up by all the banks, l.ut if the assets and safety fund v.tre insufficient to pay the notes of the failed bank, then the comptroller of the currency was to make a pro rata assessment on all the banks of the country. The banks said this prospective assessment shouldered them with an unknown risk. In effect it made them supply insurance on all the notes of banks in which they had no concern. In view of these criticisms the substitute will do away with the assessment plan. The "safety fund" will be the limit of the joint liability of all the banks for the failure of individual banks. They will, however, be compelled to keep up this safety fund by more rigid provisions than appeared in the original bill. The new bill is arranged so as to show the new features in parentheses. The tirst section is as folovvs: t,a). That so much of) all acts and parts of acts as required or authorized the deposit of Cnited States Ixmtls to seen re circulating notes issued by national banking associations (or as required such associations to deposit or keep on deposit United States bonds for any purpose except as security for public money) be, and the same !' by are repealed (as to associations taking out circulation under this act); and such notes shall not contain the statement that they are so secured." Section 2 is changed so that banks can not only deposit legal tenders to secure circulation, but also "currency certificates issued under section Ö P.i." of the revised statues of the 1'nited States." Section 'A is retained entire, except that its provisions are restricted to apply to national banking associations "taking out circulation under this act." Section 4 inserts "the comptroller of the currency" as the officer to designate tli3 place where notes are to be redeemed. In Relation to the Safety Fund. In section Ö provision is made for keeping up the safety fund, and in addition to the terms of the original bill it is provided that "the collection of said tax of onefourth of 1 per cent, for each" half-year shall be resumed and continued until the said fund is restored to an amount equal to Ö per cent, upon the total circulation outstanding. All circulation notes of failed national banks not redeemed on presentation to the treasurer of the United States or an assistant treasurer of tha United States shall bear interest at tha rate of f per cent, per annum from the date of the suspension of the bank until thirty days after public notice has been given that funds are on hand for their redemption, and such notes shall constitute a first lien upon all moneys thereafter received into the safety fund." Section t". allowing the Secretary of tho Treasury to invest money in the safety fund-in bonds, is the same as the original bill. Section 7 is entirely new and takes tha place of a section which has been eliminated. The new section is as follows: "Section 7. That every national banking association heretofore organized and having bonds on deposit to secure circulation may withdraw such bonds upon the deposit of lawful money of the United States, now provided by law. and thereafter such association may takeout circulation under this act and be entitled to all the rights and privileges and immunities herein conferred'." Section S specific that the porti'n of the national banking act to be repealed is limited to so much of section 1- "as directs the Secretary of tho Treasury to receive deiHjsits of gold and to issue certificates thereon." Section U is substantially the same as in the original bill. Section 10, providing for State banks, is also the same as in the original bill, except that in the restrictions on State banks a new provision is made that the guaranty fund maintained by them may include ''currency certificates issued under section 5,11: of the revised statutes." "Section 11. (That any banking association organized under the laws of any State may deiosit with the Treasurer of the United States legal tender notes, and receive certificates therefor in the manner provided in section ."Jih'J of the revised statutes of the United States and) the Secretary of the Treasury may, under proper rules ami regulations to be established by him, permit stu b banks to procure and use in the preparation of their notes the distinctive paper used in printing United Stales securities; hut no State bank shall print or engrave its notes in sinjilitnde of a United States note or certificate, or national note."

VACCINE POINTS.

Men Were Frantic to Get Them and Children Cried for Them. During the recent small-pox scare In Washington one apothecary sold 1S.1MV) "vaccine points' within twenty-four hours. On :i Friday, when the general fright was groatest.the supply gave out. Physicians telegraphed in every direction for points. In the drug store referred to :i big crowd was waiting. A small quantity arrived and the people scrambled for them. The scene was a most extraordinary one. Holding their money in their hands over their heads men. women and children struggled like anxious bettors at a race-track. One would have supposed that their ! lives depended on procuring the points, of which there were not nearly enough to go round. "Here's my money!" yelled one man. "You promised me four points yesterday!" cried a w oman. "I'll pay you a dollar apiece for six points!" shouted another man. evidently the anxious father of a family. In one day of the scare the apothecary said that he had made more money than he had ever made In two days out of his business. Somebody came to him and offered to buy out Iiis entire stock of points at the figure he charged for them retail. The druggist refused, because there was reason to believe an attempt was being made to corner the supply. A well-known physician in town Ascertained that a patient of his possessed an extra vaccine point. He went and begged it of him. One little colored boy called at the Kinergency Hospital and asked, with tears in his eyes, to be vaccinated. "You go and get one of th-.so things." said the surgeon in charge, "and 111 vaccinate you.' The boy went to the apoth-'cary and begged a vaccine point. Then ho returned to the hospital and was operated upon. Washington Star. Shaving in Jamaica. The natives of Jamaica have no need to buy soap, for the woods abound in plants whose leaves and bulbs supply very well the place of that indispensable article. Among the best of these is the soap-tree, so called, though it is more a bush than a tree. Its botanical name is l'halangium roineridianum. Its bulb, when rubbed on wet clothes, makes a beautiful lather, which smells milch like common brown soap. The Jamaica negroes, some of whom are great dandies in their way, make a soap out of cocoa nut oil and homemade lye: and a fine soap it is, smooth and fragrant. This cocoanut-oil soar; is used lor shaving. When a man wishes to shave in the morning he starts out with his cocoa-nut-shell cup and his donkey-tail brush and a bottle. It is never any trouble to find an empty bottle in Jamaica, even in the mountains. At least twenty generations of thirsty people have lived there, and thrown away the empty lot-tles.-The man carries no mirror, because he has none to carry. Xot one negro cabin in a dozen has even a cheap looking-glass. Hut nature provides the mirror as well as the soap. The man goes to a convenient pool in ..to mountain stream, where the water is still, and there is his mirror. He breaks his bottle on a stone and picks out a good sharp piece. Then he lathers his lace profusely and begins te scrape away with '.is piece of glass, which works almost as well as a sharp razor. The men rarely cut themselves in the operation. "At lirst." says a New York Sun writer, "I trembled for them, but afterward I tried the niotho.-l for myself, and soon became u'most an oxperj at it." Who Was the .Martyr of Algiers. In the sixteenth c -ntury the town of Oran, on tin north coast of Algeria, was held by the Spaniards. P.etween the rhristksn garrison o," the place and the F.arbary pirates there was frequent warfare, and it was tim ing a sally from the town that several Moors were captured, among them a mere child, who was baptized into the Christian Church by the mime of ('eronimo. When S years old be was carried off by sonn Arabs w ho managed to escape from (ran during a panic caused by the plague. Hestored to his parents ho turned Moslem airain. At lite ago of 20, however, of his own accord he wont back to Oran and entered the household of Juan Caro. from which he had been removed seventeen years before. Once more he became Christian, married one of Cam's slaves, joined tho army, ami lived happily for ten years. Then, in 10i7., he took part in an expedition against the corsairs. The pirates won the day, captured (leronbnu among others, and conveyed the prisoners to Algiers. As one who had renounced the Moslem faith they dealt very bitterly with him. They required him either to renounce Christianity at once or suffer death. He chose the latter and met his fate bravely. They devised a cruel torture for him, building his dead body in the wall of a fortress. This happened on September 1 1Ö0P. On the L'Tth of December, 1S":, this fort was being torn down, and (leronimo's skeleton was found bi the ruins. His remains were remove 1 to the cathedral of St. Philip, and reverently buried there. !oroninvs memory, however, has always boon cherished as the martyr of Algiers. An Honor. A puma which arrived not long ago at tho linden "Zoo from South America has been accorded the name of "(Jladstone. Only on two occasions has this distinction been equalledwhen the names of "Hubert Lowe" and "Stephen Cave" were given to a bra-c of "four-footets." It maj be added that at the "Zoo" the bestowal of a name, however well known, is looked upon as a tribute of honor and dbtlae-Uou.
