Watch the speeches of your congressmen. They are made to quote from in the next campp/sgn. “Money talks.” That’s why there were 239 congressmen ready to talk and vote for the plutocrats and only 110 for the people. Tariff, pictures just now seem to be lost sight of. Guess they are overshadowed by the bankers’ “bust ” or darkened by Sherman’s silhouette. The Republican party is divided into the administration Republicans and the anti-admin-istration Republicans. “Old Cleveland did it.” Judging by the tone of the speeches in congress, the “issue” between the Democratic and Republican parties has been knocked out. What a strange sight it is to see the big guns of the Republican party joining heart and hand with Cleveland in undoing Republican legislation. A notable feature of the present congress is the facility with which the majority of its members speak on both sides of the silver question. They are nearly all bi-metalists “if.” There is much virtue in “if.”

The Democratic party has for a long time been following in the footsteps of the Republican party, but it has caught up now, and the two old skeletons march along side by side very harmoniously. The world do move! Keep your eye on the fact that the gold now being imported is consigned to the same houses that exported it, by the same houses to whom it was sent and in the same packages, the seals never having been * broken. Then answer, “why money is scarce.” If congress would give us a system of government banks run in connection with the so called presidential post offices, then issue a sufficient amount of money to do the business of the country, times would soon be good and money panics would be a thing of the past.

The Democratic and Republican parties are consolidating against the People's party in Kansas, but the People's party will beat them both. The time is not far distant when the two old parties will unite nationally in the effort to beat the new party, which is making such wonderful growth. But they’ will fail. For the first half of this century, the world’s product of sitter in each year about doubled that of gold, yet under free coinage the two metals were kept at a parity at a ratio of 15 to 1. Then the discovery of gold in California and Australia just reversed these relative amounts, and if the law of supply and demand operated in the money metals gold would have fallen to about $5 an ounce. But instead of this the disparity of value was less than 3 per cent, until silver was demonetized. Thus, you see, it was not until silver had been reduced to a commodity that the values of the two metals began to diverge.

The world produces annually $125.000,<900 worth of gold, $65,000,000 worth is used in the arts, the other $60,000,000 worth is coined by the different nations into money. Demonetize gold and throw this $60,000,000 into [competition for use in the arts, •with the other $65,000,0Q0 and what would be the effect on the price of gold. Congressman Bland expressed the sentiments of many other Democrats when he said in a speech before congress, “to strike down silver would mean a political revolution that would strike down both the great political parties,” and, for one, he was willing to join the people, ■ even though Democracy had to I go to the wall.

When this country had little more than half the population it now has. it had nearly double the amount of money in circulation. The farmer could then sell half the product of his farm and pay off the mortgage. It now lakes all he can raise to pay interest and live. And if silver be destroyed as money, may the Lord have mercy on him, for the money shark never will.

The national banks have now outstanding about $180,000,000 of their notes. They could issue over $500,000,000 if they would. What would be the use to pass a law permitting them to issue notes up to the full par value of bonds deposited as security as long as they refuse to issue onehalf of ■what the law allow;.’. It is only another scheme to keep from doing the right thing. Say, Mr. Hayseed, while you are selling your wheat at fifty cents, don’t forget this fact: About two thirds of the national debt has been paid off, yet it would take more bushels of that same wheat to pay what still remains than it would to pay the whole debt at the close of the war. Don’t lay it to over-pro-duction of wheat either, for the world's supply of that article is less per capita now than it was then. Lay it rather to Shermanism.

Don’t allow yourself to get muddled over all this gabble about the great intrinsic value of the gold in a dollar, for it does not equal that of the silver in a silver dollar. Intrinsic value is one thing and commercial value another. Intrinsic value can not be affected by legislation, while the opposite is true of commercial value. Nearly all the difference in value of a given amount of gold over that of an equal amount of silver has been given it by legislation.

The money of any country is to the commercial and business interests of that country what the blood is to the human body. An active, energetic, vigorous, healthy body must have a proper and sufficient supply of blood to carry on the physical functions of repair and growth. Should this supply at any time become the physical powers will decline, the energies flag and activities falter. In short it will produce an unhealthy and abnormal condition of the physical and mental man. Just so with a country. When there is an abundance of money in circulation, the industries of a nation are stimulated, enterprises of all kinds are engaged in, its activities are thoroughly aroused and prosperity is the sure result. But when there is lack of sufficient circulating medium, as it is at the present time, the body politic sinks into an abnormal and unhealthy condition, its industries are paralyzed, its activities are clogged, its energies stupefied and distrust is manifest upon every hand. Labor is unemployed and becomes feverish and restive, and the whole social organism staggers, as a man bleeding to death, under its own weight. What is *thej remedy? In the case of the human subject the physician would certainly not

recommend as a measure of relief the further taking away of blood. But that is the precise remedy that Dr. Gold Dust prescribes for the present wretched situation of our finances. Like the horse leech’s daughter he lies at the veins of our fair Columbia and sapping her life blood away cries. “J/bre, More!” When have the people ever asked Congress to strike silver from our monetary system? Never. Then who wants it done? Ask Lombard Street, London, Wall Street, New York, and gold Shylocks wherever they may be found.

In his speech in the senate last week, Senator Vance, of North Carolina, said that if the Democrats had interpreted their national platform on the silver question during the last campaign like they are trying to do now, they would not have carried a State south of the Potomac. The people will understand the position of your party on the finance question next campaign, Mr. Vance. The, proposal of the gold bugs to relieve the present financial stringency by repealing the Sherman Law and thus again totally demonetizing silver is like the Irishman and his landlord on a cold winter's night:

Pat, to Landlord—“ Sure Mr. Landlord, and can’t yez help a mon out wid another blanket this bastely could night. And its after frazing I’ll be before morning, fori have but the two kivers to go a top o’me.” Landlord—“Oh, no, Patrick. That is not what is the matter with you. You see you have just lost confidence in the covers keeping you warm. Here, I’ll take away one of the two you n©\| have and then just have confidence in the other and you will sleep extra warm and have pleasant dreams.” Pat—“Begorra, yere philosophy is as thin as yere blankets. I’ll stop my shaking wid more kivers and less confidence, if yez plaze.”

We hear the cry of “Democratic hard times.” These Democratic hard times are the same hard times we had from ’73 to 78, no harder, really, so far, not quite so hard. Then they were called “Republican hard times,” we believe. Republican speakers and writers of that period told us that panics came and went, it mattered not what party< ruled, it mattered not what was the form of government, panics must come “in order that the prophesies, might be fulfilled.” They told u$ panics came about every twenty years and -were due to extravagance, over production, over confidence, etc., in fact they said prosperity brought panics. The very men that are now howling ‘ ‘Democratic hard times” are the very ones that in the seventies were telling us panics of necessity came at least every twenty years. They then said no legislation, no party, no nation had ever been able to ward off panics longer than twenty years. Oh you old hypocrites, talk to us now of “Democratic hard times.” Panics have never been properly legislated against. They are brought about by the power that is to be benefited by them; that power rules the legislation of this country.

The levies of 1891 brought $5,000 more, the county assessor said, than was expected; the levies for 1892 brought $3,000 more than was needed for ’9l; salaries of county officers have been reduced, the sheriff and recorder are turning money into county treasury; we are within fifteen of the highest taxed counties of the state and yet our county orders are at 18 per cent, discount. Where has all this surplus gone? Where has there been any need of the county going into any great expense? Tax payers, look around and see if you can find any necessity for

county orders being at a dis- ! count of 18 per cent. Have we , not paid taxes enough to meet i all reasonable county expenses : promptly, spot cash, dollar for ■dollar? Neither fire nor floods have destroyed any of our coun■ty‘s property, no more public improvements than usual have i been made, yet our county revenue has been enormously increased and to-day we are out of funds. With thousands of dollars less county revenue than we are now collecting, for years, we managed to keep out of debt and make more public improvements than we are now making. Something is wrong.

Secretary Carlisle says: “No greater mistake could be committed than to assume that the present financial embarrassment is caused by an actual scarcity of money in the country, but that it is hoarded.” He farther says that “the true remedy is to restore confidence and credit and thus put the money now in the country in circulation again.” Now here are the facts taken from Carlisle’s own statement made for June, and the sworn statement of the banks for the part of fiscal year given in round numbers. Total amount of money in the country, $1,525,000,000, less amount held- in United States treasury, $525,000,000 leaving a balance of 81,000,000,000 in circulation and held by the banks. According to the bankers’ statements they hold deposits to the amount of $3,734,000,000. The law requires them to hold 25 per cent, in reserve to meet the demands of depositors. 25 per cent, of $3,734,000,000 is $933,000,000. Deduct this from the $1,000,000,000 outside the treasury and you have left in actual circulation $67,000,000 which is scarcely more than one dollar’ per capita. It looks mightily like there is some monumental lying done somewhere. Is it Carlisle? Or do the banks falsify their reports. If neither, how much confidence would the people have to have in order to do business on one dollar per capita?
