FRIDAY, JUNE 2,1893. Wk reiterate the statement that all Street grading and filling should be Jet to the lowest bidder. What will the council do in the matter. The Democrat will bet a year's subscription to a doughnut that there will be a new postmaster in Petersburg by the middle of July. This bet is now open to any republican not now taking this publication. The world's fair was wide open last Sunday, and more than 200,000 people availed themselves of the opportunity to witness the manufactures and thrift of the several nations having displays at the fair. The Rockport Joumal is not satisfied with the appointment of the new postmaster at that place. There is but one reason why he kicks and that is: the new p. m. is a democrat. It was ever thus in democratic times. Congress will convene sometime jn September when radical measures will be taken toward remedying the infamous McKinley tariff laws. The paoney question will also he satisfactorily adjusted to the interests o! the people regardless of the classes, Charles Foster, ex-secretary of the treasury, has failed for several hundred thousand dollars. He was one of the mainstays of his home town, Fostoria, Ohio, where he was interested in numerous manufacturing enterprises. His failure is regretted by the whole country.

The Michigan legislature has ex-1 tended the right of suffrage to the fair sex ot that state. The governor Jias signed the bill and it is now a Jaw. Our lady friends of Michigan should remember that in casting their Jirst ballots they should vote on the winning side and all will be well. Ex-Govebnob Iba J. Chase, the preacher-banker, has been shown up }n a bad light by the recent bank failures in Howard county, where he induced peoplevto become depositors. He is interested in gold raining stock and other enterprises in which the people have lost heavily. The exGovernor can now explain his actions, to the dear people to his heart’s content. ____________ Said a prominent republican to the editor of The Democbat Friday ynorning: “I see you are still giving the hoys a chance to explain things Jn general, bqt Jrom some cause or other explanations are not in order. You are in the right and the people should know just how things have been rpn during the past several years. It is the duty of the newspapers of the town and county to keep the people informed as to all transactions of the people’s servants.” The Democbat proposes to keep the people informed, and don’t you for- «•« **• i

MONET AND SOVEREIGNTY. The cbiet attributes of sovereignty are the power to issue money and the power to levy taxes. Of these, the one is the complement of the other, and whoever exercises them is the sovereign, no matter whether so called or not. The reason is obvious. The taxing power is the power to take away the earnings of labor and to determine how much or how little of what be has earned shall be left to the earner for his own use. The power to issue money is the power to determine the conditions of | the exchange of the products of labor, to increase the toll taken during the exchange, to decrease the portion of its owu product which labor has as the reward of production. ftxercised together, these complementary powers involve as complete a control over the earnings of producers as was exercised over the earnings of slaves under the chattel system. It follows, therefore, that any people which desires to maintain freedom and justice must never delegate either of these powers to any private persou or corporation, or number of private persons or corporations. When such a delegation has beeu made, sovereignty has departed from the people. They are subject. The control of their earnings under the taxing system and the control of the medium of exchange by. corporations are conjointly sufficient under modern systems of acquiring property without earning it to render it impossible for the actual produer.- of the country to accumulate any surplus. On the coutrary, they are forced deeper aud deeper into debt. Under this system of direct and indirect delegation of these sovereign powers the producers of the Mississippi Valley have been forced into debt to the almost inconceivable amount of over two thousand million dollars. This debt is largely held in Boston and >iew York, and as a result the plutocrats of those two cities are desperately determined to maintain their control over the tmances

of the Union. Without a perpetuation of the national debt (which they are determined to bring about it possible), the uatioual bauk note circulation cannot be maintained, and the sovereign power in the issue of these notes for circulation as money must be resumed by the people themselves. Anticipating the possibility of failing to perpetuate the national debt, the plutocracy is preparing to force through congress a law for the national control of banks of issue chartered by the state, to issue notes for local circulation, based on state debt and other evidences of lack of cash, including railway stocks, farm mortgages and other ’‘securities” more or less capable of holding water. The direct or indirect control of state banks by a national banking act would be grossly unconstitutional, but we need not stop to argue now against the federalism aud centralization involved in the step it is proposed to take. It is better to stand on the unsallable proposition that the sovereign power of the people ought not to be delegated to any corporation whether chartered by the states or by the United,States. It was a barbaric custom to sublet both the taxing power and the power of issuing money. We have ceased to farm ont the taxes as was done several thousand years ago; that is, we have Aased to do it except the indirection of a protective tariff. But we are still openly 6nbletting to corporations the not less far-reaching and not lesa sovereign power of issuing notes with a view to controlling and profiting by the circulation ot money.

If we perpetuate this system we perpetuate in a few hands the power of controlling the people, and we make it certain that in the future, as now, the wealth of the people will be diyerted'from its natural channels to increase the importance of a small plutocratic class which is without doubt the element most menacing to the peace and stability of our government. When it is remembered that the immediate cause for this movement in favor of local inflation through the issue of private notes as money under authority granted to corporations by the 6tates is a determination to force the contraction of the national currency, to prevent the coinage of silver, to make gold the sole money of national and interstate account and to convert the silver money now in circulation as cash from an asset of the people into a liability, a part of the national debt to be redeemed in gold raised by taxation on the people, it is possible to have some idea of the audacity of this conspiracy; of the skill of the men engaged in it; of the immense importance of the issues involved in it, and of the abso

lute necessity that tnose who would maintain popular liberties should mass themselves to resist at any cost the success of a desperate undertaking which, if successful, would result in incalculable injustice and oppression. If the democrats of the valley allow their flank to be turned by the plutocrats of Boston and Wall street; if they surrender the principle of a bimetallc currency, freely coined: if they fall in with the northeastern plutocratic policy of contraction of the national currency, freely coined: if they sell the birthright of the people tor the concession of getting into local circulation a lot of stufl counterfeiting money and passing as mouey with the ignorant, thongh under the federal constitution a wagon load of it cannot be made to pay a dollar of the enormous debt we owe to the northwest—if this is to be done and the sovereignty of the people is to be delegated to corporations which with such a delegation will be the people’s masters, then we will have in the United States such a condition of completo^gjlapse and ruin as will show what'folly it is to try to divorce finance from common sense and common justice. *■

It would seem from reading the editorial columns of the Mt. Vernon Democrat that its editor, A. A, Sparks, is a “Democrat for revenue only.”— Oakland City Record. Right yon are. Before and after the election and until the appointment of a postmaster at Mt. Vernon. Bro. Sparks was a rip-roaring-never-fail “Glorious - Grover - ninety - per-cent-give-the-nomination and a red-hot Gresham man. There was not a single issue of his paper four mouths after the election that he, did not praise Grover Cleveland and all other prominent democrats to the skies, but the time has changed, and it now transpires that the gay colonel was simply a democrat for revenue only. Iu the las: campaign Col. Sparks made many excellent speeches for Cleveland and Matthews and even went so far as Jo send copies of his speeches to the above named gentlemen and others. He published letters from Cleveland and fathers complimenting him ou his speech. The colonel has changed his tune and calls the president and his cabinet and others connected with the government “mugwumps/' “renegades,” and other pet names. People who are not acquainted with Mr. Sparks might take him to be a little “luny,” but he isn't, he is simply a kicker because he held the postoffice under Cleveland’s former administration.

The “kicker-ex-postyiaster” of Mt. Vernon seems to have a special grudge against every democrat in the First congressional district- He is at the present time to ing to kick up a muss between the Himr-John G. Shanklin and the editor of this pajerf but the kick will amount to naught. The Hon. John G. Shanklin is too well and favorably known over the State of Indiana for any one-horse-editor-kicker like the gentleman of Mt. Vernon to raise any muss between him an another person. If Mr. Shanklin wants any place or position under this administration be knows the way to get it and could have it for the asking, and should he secure a position, and of which be is deserving, no one would more heartily approve of it than The Democrat. Go back in the alley and throw mud at yourself. '

The Washington correspondent to the Indianapolis Sentinel has this to say of Congressman Taylor: “Representative Taylor is a new member. He will not take his seat uutil fall, but he has accomplished much. He came here in February, long before he was on the pay roll, to preveut the confirmation of the two republican postmasters at Cannelton and Tell City, which became presidential offices after the election. He succeeded aud two democrats were appointed as soon as President Cleveland returned to the White House. He remained here until he had the assurance that the Evansville and Rockport partisan postmasters would be removed. Meantime, he cleaned out the fourth-class postoffices of republicans.” The administration is getting along very well under the trying circumstances. Wall Street sees the handwriting on the wall as do all the formidable trusts that have thrived under repnblican mis-rule for the last quarter of a century. The whisky trust has gone to the wall and all others will be in the same box during the next coming lew years. The People must rule. The few people who seem to have a kick at Uncle Jesse Battles, marshal of Petersburg, should keep quiet a little while until he catches onto the ropes. If he sometimes fails to reach the spot until it is all over yon should remember that one man cannot be all over the town in five minutes. He gets there just as soon p possible.
