As a specimen of genuine calamity howling we refer our readers to the Republican state platform. Tiie autocratic rule of the doiiar in t : i is country is well nigh ended. It is high time that it was. If all power over the money was taken from the banks that would be the end of financial panics. How many more times must the Americans be run through the hell of contraction before they learn that the bankers are the devils that lay the plans and spring the trap. Let';-; not go wild this year over congressmen and state officers ana forget the mismanagenipTlf of affairs right here at home. Jasper county first, the state and nation next.

Bradstkee'c says that business is carried on in a “hand to mourn way. Yes, you lousy old pimp of plutocracy, and the hand in very many instances has nothing to carry to the mouth. So long as the control of the money-is in bankers’ hands, just so long you may expect panics, and neither Reps or Dems dare molest them. Give us a chance and we will scatter them like polecats before a prairie fire. R. G. Dux & Co. say wheat for May has touched the lowest point on record. Say, R. G. D. & Co. where is . that great advance in prices that you said stood ready j p spring upon the the country and only was waiting for the repeal of the Sherman law. Oh, you treacherous liars.

While Dun admits an increase of failures, takes it as a gratifying sign that the losses number less dollars. Of course they do you old lunkhead. If we keep on appreciating our dollars. the last ones that will number only a few dimes. Gratifying, ain’t it?

The so-called Christians of Indianapolis have decided that the gospel of Christ is too good a thing for the poor devils that are following Frye, and have determined to maintain a monopoly of the article for themselves. If they are to be accepted as specimen bricks of what the gospel can do in making a Christian out of a heathen, we don’t believe the Fryites, Coxeyites or any other ites are any the worse off if they don't get any of it.

The Coxey movement from the standpoint of considerate men, is visionai-y and will end without beneficial results. But while that will most surely be the outcome, every man owes it to. himself and his country to see that the right of petition and the right to peaceably assemble for the discussion of public questions is not denied or interfered with. These are constitutional rights, dear to every patriotic heart and must be maintained inviolate.

“I can not ailow that an exPresident has lost citizenship; nor can I admit that a calm and temperate discussion of great public questions is undignified in uliV man." —Benjamin Harrison. Them's our sentiments, Ben, but if ever an ex-President played the demagogue, tried to falsify, mislead and show just how little, narrow-minded and partisan lie could be, you surely did in that little calamity howling, self-glorifving speech you gave the Republican state convention. As an ex-President, Benjamin Harrison should be honored and respected, as a demagogue and wilfully lying politician be should be despised.

The Chicago News calls the widespread financial disasters of the past year in the United •States “a wholesome lesson to the people.” Just what the ■ -wholesome lesson” consists in that the News is so delighted over, it does not make clear, 'out we are sure that neither it or any other tool of the money power desires the people to thoroughly learn the one and only “wholesome lesson” taught by our present terrible monetary disturbances. The only resson the people can learn from it to their advantage is the absolute necessity of depriving the banks of all control over the money supply. The constitution places the whole money matters under the control of congress to be regulated and managed in the interest of the whole people. If the people learn the lesson that every financial disaster that ever

befell us as a nation, came either from the neglect of congress to discharge its constitutional duty to the people in this matter or by delegating that power to banking concerns it will do well. The News don't want ihe people to learn that lesson, but learn it they must or be run through the hell of contraction every few years in the future as they have been in the past. Vote for no man or party that does not stand squarely pledged to the doctrine that congress must and shall resume its constitutional prerogative in this matter. That is the “wholesome lesson,” learn it now.
