E EARTH CORNERED. by Internationa] Clique ot Bondholders, ... GOLD STANDARD A HOPE OF EAKP. fm npe e .wpr ud mi# « h*. ai,myi r»*wd vW«cihl«M—JPraMat Bud** Of T*mUob BomBo^oUjt oa Frpdoo^T* Property-Tb* H# l^taMT Money. There is not p nation on the face of ,the earth where the single gold standard is thoroughly established that ever exMots to pay the principal of Republic debt, and now the money kings of the eWorld are nsing the ^Republican .party as a tool to hring the United States to ‘the same condition. When “Old Ben Alleu." a distinguished citizen of Ohio, •aid, “Cold redemption is a .barren ideality, ” he uttered a frozen truth that ‘will be recognized as we grow older and wiser. In times of war. pazpc, trou ble and tribulations the gold standard has always proved a rope of sand. Gold will go where it can get the ynost Gold is oaming here now because there is a bread famine in Europe and ibod products are cheaper here than anywhere else. If the war with Spain ‘had lasted several yean, the owners of gold would have lost faith in the equivalent of gold and hid their treasures ss 'they did when the bine and gray met in mortal combat When our government is spending from $1,000,000 to $£, 000, - 000 a day for an indefinite time to kill, to horn and to lay waste, the owners of gold will put a lock on our standard of value, and they wUl bci? th® h«y- Th® Republican potty prc^oi;jitorest bearing bonds as a war ^qafjpuza, a#d. under the national baiiknig to loan to the bondholders the poop Is > paper

money without interest, §o that the untaxed bondholders can draw icterus! on all their bonds and all .they own and at the same time levy on .the people * war taxes. A bond issue locks up the money far circulation and from the tax* gatherer. While the supreme oourt has declared that It M unconstitutional to tax the incomes of the rich the burden of the present taxation bears heavily on 'the men who own productive property and employ labor. Producers are now paying taxes on propetty that pay* no dividends. Property that pays dividends escapes taxation. There is so much property that is uutaxed that towns and cities are lorded to issue bonds to pay running expenses. We have now all the hleesingsand sweetness of the gold standard, but the taxpayer has hard, work to get the taxpaying dollar The good old town of Turner has a state valuation of a little lea* than $70(1000 Last year the selectman borrowed $4,000 to pay the schoolteachers and other town charges, because last year's taxes could not be raised without too much strain. At our las* March meeting that town voted to lame $4,000 of 20 year bonds to cover the deficiency of last gear’s uncollected taxes. The nearby town of Summer is going to celebrate the (me hundredth anniversary at the incorporation of the town this year. The town voted to ap propitiate .the matgmftoent sum of $25 for a .celebration that can only come once in 100 yean. These two incidents In the towns of Turner and Summer illustrate how heavy is the present bur den of taxation The multitude of taxpayers are wear jtag their old clothes and buyiug noth ing new. There are carpets in the homes at the people, hat they are all old oaxpeta A late large auction sale of carpets was vary unsatisfactory. price* were below one-half the cost of production. What little the people buy they wait for bankrupt sales, and they don't have to wait long, either. Everybody is huntiug for a chance to buy cheap Our restricted consumption is confined to goods that are for sale at lesw than the otxt of production. Under the ex istiug conditions war tape* won’t pan but as they did in the war between the rtatea Before war taxes wore levied

paper money was primary money. uoiv Was fruxen oat of thejntomal commerce ctf the floantr/ and the premium on gold vu of uo account except to gold Rem blera Dunug the war and years after 1 whoa we had plenty of good money and a standard of value the gold gamblers oould not comer, the manufacturer* of New England paid Jarge war taxes and the harden was hardly a featherweight When the greenback was primary mou fay, the producer paid internal revenae taxes from his profits The ^nore he produced the mote taxes he paid and yhe more profits he made. Bat when wise men discovered that the greenback* were not "honest " money and gold alone was made primary money conditions were brought about that paid a bounty to idle money at the expense of productive property There is plenty of idle money within easy reach of the wheat gamblers, bat beyond the reach 6t the honest producer. The mills of New England have been on a gold basis for the last 15 years, but they can't pay war taxes now without cutting down wages to a point below deoeut living. If wages are cat again, men and women who are working in the Njevr England mills will use hog's grease instead of batter That means that the taxpaying dollar will come harder to patrons of the Tomer Cep ter creamery as the taxpayers property depreciates and theontaxed bond appreciates. The supreme court has decoded that the government has the right to ims legal tender money 'The time has come jk> make' paper money primary money, gnd enough of it—supplemented with faxes to carry on the war—issued by |he Doited Stales government for received redeemable in taxes and exchangeable in silver or gold at each pune as will beet suit the pleasure and convenience of the government If 1 * gtfy notes am

After 15 years of the blessings of the single standard— years of peace and abundant harvest*— the only glimmer of prosperity thft U in sight comes through war and famine. “ Solon Chase. REWARD OF THE FARMERS. Claim* of a Sold N«*>p*p«r. •‘As if to reward the farmersfor sup porting the gold standard." says the Chicago Times-Herald, “nature hat forced the purchase of g800,000,000 of our products by foreign lands. ” It it certainly discouraging to find that both Gal and nature are in cahoots with the Republican party. It w,ijl be news tc you to learn that nature, probably acting under God’s direction, caused § failure of toe wheat crop throughout Ihe world and starved Bullions of peopU in India. Italy, Spain and other gold standard countries in order to reward the American farmer* for voting for

McKinley. Really. ate these plutocrats lunatics, or is it possible that their dopes are such asses os to sv. allow rot of that kind—rot that appears as an editorial i in the paper mentioned? Nature doe* not support a money standard or any other scheme of men. She dispenses an area handed Justice to nil and will wipe the Republican party off the earth, even though it be a great exponent of sound money, for disregarding her laws just as quick as she will gather into the kingdom come the meekest, most chow pish voting king that ever sold his ballot for a drink. But while the plates can't monkey with nature very much they have had their own sweet ways with the working classes so long that perhaps they nave conceived the idea that they are in league with God and nature.— Coming Nation INCOMES SHOULD BE TAXED. Budro of Taxation Now Rasta oa Those Uwt AMs to Pay. That the Democratic platform adopted at the state convention of Illinois it worthy of hearty approval on the part of tiie people needs no argument. Following the silver plank comes a declaration that will appeal to the sense oi justice in every heart not hardened by selfish interest. This plauk reads as follows: *‘We demand the adoption of a fair and equitable tax on income and an amendment to the constitution of the United States if necessary to ao- ; complish this purpose. ** This is just and reasonable on its faco As the law now stands the harden of taxation is placed on the shoulders of those least able to pay it The man who has an income of $10,000 a year may be able to avoid taxation entirely, but the man who earns $1 a day must pay heavy taxation and has no chance to evads such payment By the vote oi one man on the supreme bench it has been decided that an income tax is unconstitutional Although this is simply the opinion of one man, it is binding so long as it is pot reversed, and perhaps the amplest way to reverse it is to secure a constitutional amendment In the long ran justice will be secured, and the Democratic party of Illinois is pledged by their platform to aid in its securemeut not only in this case, but | jn other aagpe which jrill be referred to I later on

CURRENCY REFORMERS. National Bank 'Conspiracy to Destroy Greenbacks. SttVEI AMO TO BE WIPED OUT. SoTCRBeal mtdUtoK^t IV r«iiy to S* Withdrawn from ,Circulation aad Their «MM Taken by National Bank Noto» Drawing Interest—A Vito Schama Vnr the Shy look*. The object of national bank “jreform,ers” in “simplifying” the currency is Itself simplified when we see jjhat the species of currency they desire .to destroy consists of silver or notes issued by the government directly to the people for debts that hear no interest, while those that are preserved and held sacred are either gold that .does not circulate or notes issued by banks that represent government debts that do bear interest. Oat of these millions .of currency there is only $288,827,756 that is issued by the national banks and represent a debt upon which they can draw interest from the government, while $861,666,767 representing silver money fmd government notes is active, running at large, md papular with the people, issued by the government and pot producing a single cent of usury tp.the national banka When the currency reformers look upon that $8 *>1,655,767 carrying blessings to humble homes, animating with hope the worn paths of labor, thrusting the torch of prosperity into the dark corners of wretchedness and poverty and .maintaining its mission of love and charity absolutely free from the finger of the usurer, thoughts came ever them like those that came to General Blucher when, after the battle of Waterloo in company with the British ofiicers, he was viewing the wealth and splendor of London, and it so impressed him with a lack of “simpiificatiQn” that he eras constrained to remark aside to a companion: “Mein Gotti Vat a vine city

to sack!* In eliminating this part of oar currency they do not propose to contract the general volume of currency that is not to their interest They propose that the government shall withdraw this $851,635,767 by degrees, say, $250,000,000 of it annually, and issue in its stead government bonds bearing interest, which bonds are to be purchased by the national banks, and these banks will issue national bank notes-whieh are to take the place of the $S51.665,'?6? in the currency of the country. In other words, the national banks will gather in the obnoxious currency now outstanding on which the government pays no interest They will give this to the government, and the latter will give them an equal amount of bonds that bear interest and the banks will be permitted to issue their owu notes to borrowers at a high rate of interest to the amount of the currency withdrawn and secure their redemption with the bonds they receive from the government There are numerous schemes in progress to effect this currency reform. They differ in the extent to which it is to be carried out in method and detail, but the general effect and purpose of all is above stated and in line with the present national bank system. That they will harmonize their differences when the moment is ripe there is not the slightest doubt with those who have the least knowledge of their intelligence, unity of interest and generous ■elf sacrifice for the triumph of their classes. The prospect that invites*the , national banks to perseverance is the most alluring that has tempted the imagination since that which struck the gase of Christ upon the mount to which the devil took him. The people can no longer be the creditor of their own government The national bank becomes its favored and most exclusive creditor. ! The people's currency that is free from I Interest is to be destroyed and the i vacuum filled with a currency for I which they will he compelled to pay to the national bank annual, semiannual and quarterly interest. Its issue and control will be absolutely in their | hands. The system in time is to be developed along the lines of what is known as the bankers' “Baltimore plan. ” under which they can inflate or oontract the volume of currency whenever and wherever it suits their design* In a country the greatest and wealth

test tee non ever shone upon, where there is no royalty, the national bank is to be throned as absolute monarch and its stockholders permanently quartered upou the people's wealth and enterprise, the national bank is the organised power that gives life and movement to this conspiracy against the people. It has many and powerful allies who, an account of fear or favor or connection, are in sympathy with all its objects. Its attitude today makes\ it easy to understand the indignation of Jefferson when he declared a national was more dangerouf to the liberties of the people than a hostile a]rmy, and hqw Andrew Jackson was prompted to set his iron heel on the neck of (tie old national bank and grind the life out of it Jjjog Ooouy.
