PROSPERITY.

It Will Never Dawn Upon the United States Until We Have More Money. Prosperity will never dawn upon the American people until more money is put into the hands of the people. It will do no good, however much is stowed away in bank vaults—it must be in circulation. No matter how much wealth there is in the world, peace and prosperity will never be an enjoyment of the common people until those who produce all the wealth can retain a just and equitable portion of their earnings. The unjust laws which permit the products of the soil, the loom and the workshop to be absorbed by social leeches and grasping corporations while passing from producer to consumer must be repealed before a change for better times can come. And the fellows who made these laws will never unmake them. The same iron hand of greed that grasped our senators and congressmen by the throat and compelled them to create such a system will never lose its grip. The only way in which relief can come is In completely routing the old set A new and clean set of men must be placed in charge of the ship of state and ordered to steer clear of the rocks of Wall street A palliative in the way of tariff reduction, done up in reciprocity sugar, may be given by the old quacks, with an attempt to wash it down with “raw material,” but the people are “on to” this racket and will not be fooled. They know what they want and if they don’t get it, will walk into the halls of congres in 1896 and take it—Emporia (Kan.) Tidings.

—“The vote received by Weaver in the west,” says the Boston Advertiser, “is a death blow to the common opinion, that when two great parties struggle for supremacy in a national election, no third party can hope for electoral votes except in a great national crisis It was argued, that while farmers of the west might vote on ‘side issues’ during state campaigns, they wpuld align themselves with one or the other of the great parties in the national election. That belief is also turned over by the late election. It will be seen, then, the result has proved an ‘overturn’ indeed, and about as complete an overturn the country has seen since 1860.” —Several members of the Alabama legislature recently confessed that a revolution was in progress in the north of the state that was likely to sweep the democracy out of existence.—Fort Worth (Tex.)
