Neighbor does not like Master Grover Cleveland one bit; he thinks him real naughty and mean and he is going to tell ma on him. The basic principle of this whole reform movement is that every person has a natural right to comfort and happiness. That being true, whatever interferes with that right is an evil, and it is such evils that we are ingA money is redeemable when the government issuing it stands ready to take it back at its face value for all debts and taxes due it. That’s all the redeemable quality money needs. In fact, it is all the redeemable quality it ever has.

Carnegie will build another public library. In order to make others pay for that which he takes the credit of establishing, wages of his employes at DuQuesne were cut 25 per cent. The library will be located at Braddock. If a money is good that is based on gold, a commodity that has but little intrinsic value as far as relieving the real necessities of the people are corcerned, why wouldn't a money be just as good based on cotton and wool and grain, commodities that are an actual necessity of human comfort.

Neighbor down the street has been peddling some cheap “stuff’ about non-American ideas and practices among millionaire Democrats. The most un-American thing in this country is our financial system, born of the Republican party and god fathered by the Democratic party. There being no room between the Democrats and Republicans for dispute on finance, transportation, tariff, etc., the contest has narrowed down to mere personal abuse of party leaders. The Republican press is full of silly and childish abuse of President Cleveland. He is called a big headed dictator, an aping autocrat.

Oh yes, we can not get along without gold. Gold is the money of the world. Now honestly how many of us ever see gold? It is not the money the people use in everyday ' business transactions. Farmers, when did you see a gold dollar, mechanics and merchants, when did you receive gold in payment for your labor and goods?

Your duty is not all performed when you subscribe for a reform paper and read it. The cause relies upon YOU individually to spread its principles and help in the making of converts. Call your neighbors attention to the strong points in the teachings of your paper. Get your neighbor to subscribe. Don’t forget that you are an apostle of liberty, and have an every day work to do. Decisions against strikes and boycotts are being handed in every day. We are glad of this. It takes out of the hands of labor organizations the tools which they have been using to such poor advantage. The next tools they will pick up will be of a political make. They will

soon learn now that our whole industrial system is wrong, and that to change it necessitates political action. It is lucky for the numerous banks now failing that they are not in China. About four hundred years ago a bank failed in China and the authorities wound up its accounts in a very expeditious method, w T hich we commend to our comptroller. The heads of all the bank officials were ordered to be cut off and thrown into the corner with the rest of the assets. There hasn’t been a bank failure from that day to this. The Celestials are not good to imitate for models as a general thing, but they can certainly teach us something in banking. There would certainly be fewer of these men-traps opening in this country if the alleged financiers in charge know they would have to choose between a production of their deposits and loss of their heads. —Nonconformist.

If anything on the earth, or under the earth, or anywhere else in the wide realms of space, would make a man swear, he is expected to swear most lustily if ever ho stops to think of the beastly infamy of the present financial panic. Think of it, ye who dare! More than a quarter of a century of peace and of unlimited production, and yet through the truckling subserviency of a government absolutely turned over to the control of the corporations, a panic is permitted to be sprung upon the people, in order to I'orCe their consent to an issuance of the fifty millions of government bonds these goldocrats demand as a safe investment for their hoarded wealth, and as a further evidence of their absolute power over the government. What matters it to them, if by this artificial panic, this monster of their own creation, thousands of the best men of the nation are crushed to the earth? What do they care if the wheels of machinery are stopped, and every industry is paralyzed, and a million men and women with their helpless dependents go hungry for the w’ant of work? We dare any honest, manly man to realize the heinousness of this crime against humanity and not curse a system that will permit such diabolism! How handy it would be in such a crisis to have a government somewhere, instead of that thing of gigantic power down at Washington that exercises the functions of government wholly in the interest of the immensely wealthy few! Will the people never awake to their thralldom?—Union Dispatch.

Our Pica.

We cl®sed our previous number by a statement of the good effects of the previous age on the welfare of our people, which we will now summarize: “The people were out of debt,” had fire in their houses every day in the year when necessary,” “meat on their tables three times a day,” “better employed, better paid, better fed, better clothed and better housed than before,” and sixty seven per cent, of the nation’s wealth in the hands of the farmers. With less than forty years of the reign of capitalism, we find all reversed. 'According to Ex-senator John J. Ingall’s statement, we have ten millions of Americans that are not full fed one day out of three hundred and sixty-five. The state board of charities, of New York, report that ten thousand children perish annually of hunger in that state. The late Joe Howard is authority for the statement that one hundred thousand persons in Chicago and three hundred thousand in New York arise each morning without the means or knowing where they will get a breakfast. Census reports show nine millions of mortgages. John J, Ingalls says tiiat thirty-one thousand

persons own over half of the nation’s wealth, and that we have many thousands of millionaires. Dr. Joseph Cook, the eminent Boston divine, says, that two hundred and fifty thousand persons own seventy-five per cent, of all our wealth. In 1865 we had five hundred and twenty failures, in 1892 we had over fourteen thousand. In 1889, we had 3568 murders; in 1890, 4290; in 1891, 5998, and in 1892, 6791, an increase of over three thous' and in three years. Crimes of every character have had a like increase, so have the suicide and divorce records. The last census reports show that the inhabitants of Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska. Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky, by far the richest and most favored region of the continent, the region where is raised and grown nearly all our cattle, hogs, sheep and horses, -wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley, cotton and hemp, and where is manufactured ail our butter and cheese, are poorer by two per cent, than they were ten years ago, notwithstanding that the wealth increase of the nation has been enormous. Now what is it in our economic system that produces such inequalities and such disastrous results. It is the result of doing that which Lincoln warned his countrymen not tb do, ‘-the placing of capital above labor in the Structtfre of the government. Now see how it is done. Labor can earn only about two per cent., while the government grants to corporations the exercise of public functions or control of public necessities, with power to fix their own earnings, so that we find in a government that is founded on the principles of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, that the great body of the people earn nothing to two per cent, while the favored few gather in from eight to fifty per cent. Let us explain, furnishing money, a medium of exchange, is a function of government, and ought to be exercised by the government for the good of the whole people, but it is not. The government has farmed it out to corporations that have manipulated legislation that money loaned, earns from eight to twelve per cent while labor earns two or less. The transfer from point to point of persons, and property is a public necessity, and this has been turned over by the government to the transportation companies, with power to fix their earnings, which is about four per cent on their capitalization, and twelve per cent on actual investment, giving money invested in the transportation service a six fold advantage over labor. The transmission of intelligence is another public necessity, and the government wisely took charge of the postal service and gives us the most efficient service at cost, but it has unwisely turned over the telegraphic and telephone service to corporations, to be used as sources of profit, giving them power to fix rates, and they have made them so burdensome that money invested in these corporations have an earning power of from twenty to fifty fold greater than labor. These abstractors of the people’s earnings are known to our laws, have a legal existence, work in open day, steal openly, boldly, and in the face of all the people. In these we have hundreds of other impersonal things, which have no legal existence, which work in the dark, and are manipulated by the shrewdest men in our midst, they are the trust family. These combinations, though unknown to and unrecognized by our laws, are just as potent factors in abstracting wealth from the people as those established by law. Here is “capital above labor in the structure of the government,”

the reign of capitalism, and as a result, millionaires and paupers, great wealth and great poverty, failures in business as never before, all kinds of crimes on the increase, divorces and sub cides as never before, men and women going craiy and children starving as never before, and all this during a period in which our statistics show thefs was thirty per cent less war, twenty per cent less pestilence* and farm crops is twelve per cent above the general average. We have how reached the interesting part of our subject, the point that will bring out the measures of the different parties that they propose for the correction of these evils, and we ask the special attention of our Democratic and Republican friends at this point. (To bo continued.)

Wliy Fanning: Doesn’t Pay. We of fen give some of the reasons why farming desn’t pay. Less than two months ago we asked the legislature to prevail upon the banks and cotton mills and beg them not to plant such large dividends, but it was fruit less. Another instance has been reported showing that farming does pay, but doesn't pay the farmer. Two years ego large cotton mills were started at Rocky Mount. The capital invested was not quite $200,000. Last year they made a clear protit of s6o,ooo—about 30 per cent, on the investment. The stock of the mill is worth 170 now. That is one of the reasons that farming doesn’t pay the farmers, but does pay other people handsomely. Yet there are farmers who enjoy seeing other people make 30 per cent, profit, while they can’t make 2 per cent, themselves, and their families are in poverty. Farmers, please wake up and be men. Don’t be blocks of wood, as lifeless as an Egyptian mummy. Educate yourselves and vote for your own interests.—Progressive Farmer.
