SENSIBLE SAMUEL.

A CHICAGO MILLIONAIRE HAS '•■>' ' LUCID MOMENTS. I , ~ During Which Time He Makes a Speeeh - and Tells Some Wholesome Truths — Allerton Is for Free Silver Coinage, 16 to L At a recent meeting of the Marquette club in Chicago Sam Allerton made a speech which might be considered very good Populist doctrine. In introducing Mr. Allerton, the Chicago Sentinel says: “This is the famous ‘Sam* Allerton, who ran on the Republican ticket for World’s Fair mayor against Carter Harrison, and who was supported by every kid-gloved aristocrat and millionaire, and by every daily paper except the Times, in the city, and then was scooped by Carter to the tune of 30,000 majority; Sam Allerton, the millionaire pork-packer, the director in a half dozen best banks of Chicago, the owner of stock in nearly every railroad that centers in the Windy City, the business friend and co-worker of Lyman J. Gage, the boss banker of the West, the ex-standard bearer of modern Shylocks and bosom friend of plutocracy—this Sam Allerton is reported by the Tribune as making use of the following language in his speech before the Marquette club; “What is our money now, but flat money? One per cent gold and 15 per cent flat money, and only so long as foreigners will lend us gold by buying our bonds, demanding each and every time a greater interest, can we continue to redeem our paper money in gold. The people are all right; they show their confidence; take silver, greenbacks, national currency; they will buy Anything to-day we have to sell or exchange; yet the high men in official positions think they are at a discount of three-fourths of 1 per cent. “They say that this currency would have no elasticity, could not be expanded and contracted. This is true, and that is why we need just such a currency. Contraction and expansion are what the gambler likes, and we should avoid these great contractions and expansions, which are the elements of a panic. It is not rich men who build up the country, but the enterprising men who expect to borrow and do something to better their condition, and this system of contraction and expansion produces a panic that breaks this class of men and makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Money is only the motive power to exchange our labor, products and property. Gold and silver are relics of barbarism, the lack of confidence among men. Gold and silver should be products in our country like corn and whea’c. “The honest, conservative man will say: What will you redeem this currency with? My answer it: Does progress in advancing manhood, confidence in each other and in the integrity of this great nation of liberty-lov-ing people, need redemption? Our trouble has been and is now that we are on a false basis, trying to redeem $1,600,000,000 currency with $100,000,000 of gold. This false position makes the government weak and the money changers are in a position to dictate terms to this great nation.” And the Tribune says the 250 members of this very exclusive, la-de-da Marquette club who were present “applauded many of his statements.” There is nothing new in Mr. Allerton’s declarations, but they are a little Populistic to be swished around the wine glasses in a bibulous, bon-ton, millionaire club. When Thaddeus Stevens was contending for the passage of the bill to issue greenbacks to pay the expenses of the war instead of going on the market and buying bonds he took practically the same ground—that the currency rested on all the wealth of the nation. He said:

“This is the capital, $16,000,000,000 in amount, on which your treasury notes and bonds rest. This claim of the government, in the hands of congress, is direct and specific on the banks throughout the United States, including the,, gold and silver in their vaults on commerce; on all kinds of production and business; on railroads, steamboats, and their passengers; on gas companies-; on manufacturing companies of ail kinds—in short, all real and personal estate of every kind is held subject to the payment of the. treasury notes and bonds issued by the government. Congress is clothed with this mighty power to sustain the nation at this time.” The difference, however, between Mr. Stevens and Mr. Allerton is, Mr. Stevens wanted the government to- issue paper money, while Mr. Allerton wants the bankers to have that privilege. But the light is dawning. The people begin to see that neither gold or silver can be relied upon as a stable currency, and the main question to settle is, shall the banks or the government issue the money?

Give Us the Law.

The leaders of the two old parties are becoming somewhat alarmed at the demonstrations being made by the people, and the growing popularity of the principles embodied in the People’s party platform. Many of them, especially in the South and West, are now professing great friendship for free silver. We have no confidence in their sincereity. They pretend to be making a fight for a plank in the next national platform declaring in favor of free silver. Suppose they succeed. What good will that plank do? What the people want is a law providing for the free coinage of silver. The two old parties are in power. If they are sincere they can give us a law providing for free silver at any time they choose to do so. If they don’t do it it is proof

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY, MAY 30/ 1895.

that all this talk about a free sliver plank in the platforms is bosh— a mere subterfuge and catch-vote trick. It has come to (he point now-that the way-to catch votes is to do and not promise. The people have learned that promises made by the two old parties are not worth the paper on which they are written. If the two old parties are sincere in their professions of friendship for silver, let them “show their faith by their works.” They have the power to make the law. Give us the law, gentlemen, we have promises enough.

KEEP YOUR MONEY.

And Let the Bankers Hunt Their Grub Blsewhere. Few men, though satisfied with the truth of a theory, will act upon its rules if those rules happen to be against the customs that surround them. Reformers in the United States are all opposed to private banking (National banks are private banks). They see the dangers of the system, read in the papers day after day of the failures of banks and knowing that hundreds and thousands of these banks must fail because the larger banks are squeezing them, yet they persist in leaving their money in these, banks and doing business with them even when it is not necessary. Of course, when they read of these failures, It is something away off that does not affect them very much, and it is only when it comes home to them directly and when it is too late that they can see the necessity of acting upon lines of right. Last week one of the persons who applied for membership in our colony gave us a check on a bank for his membership and before the check reached the bank on which it was drawn, It had closed its doors and the savings of a life time were thus transferred to that great accumulation of capital that makes money kings in America. Why will men patronize banks except where conditions force them to? Banks are conducted by men just the same as other men, just as ignorant of the social system under which they do business as the average day laborer. The money left in the banks would be of no use to them if they did not speculate upon it. Men will permit banks to speculate with their money who will take no such risks themselves, and if the banks fail they lose all with no hope of gain. I do not feel very sorry for reformers when they keep any more money in banks than is necessary to do the necessary checking for their business. If the people know what is good for them, they will adopt the tactics of the banks — put their means in gold and keep it. All the thefts of money in the United States in a year do not amount to as much as the loses to the people by bank failures in a week. —Coming Nation.

A FEW QUESTIONS.

Specially Directed to the American (Slave) Wage-Earner. So you think politics has nothing tc do with your wages or chance of getting employment, or your debts or poverty, eh? The banker tells you so. The politician tells you so. The monopolist tells you so. The people who live well and do nothing tells you so. Isn’t it funny that all of these people are al! of one mind? All these people live off of somebody. Do you know who that somebody is? All these people are very anxious about the elections. Do you ever ask yourself why? If politics has nothing to do with you why are they so interested? Do you think they are fools to spend their time and money on something there is nothing in for them? And if there is something in it for them, who pays that something? Why cah’t you see a little bit under the surface? Have they trained you like a soldier so you can’t think but obey orders? Why are they so anxious that you don’t vote with the cranks? Why all this solicitude? Politics has everything to do with your wages and employment. It can render millions of you idle, so you will have to work cheap, or it can have all of yelp busy getting big wages. They don’t*'- want •you’ to find this out. They wafit you for a voting machine to help them Uye In luxury and power. And you’ve bee> doing It. Do[4’t read up on the money' problem—yoti might learn something and not be so docile as a slave.

No, don’t endeavor to solve the “money problem,” for if you do you will get lost in the maze of fog and cannot extricate yourself. Just keep on thinking that the “problem” is so difficult of solution that only profound schoars can solve it, apd leave it to the shylocks to solve and carry out as they have been doing, for they know all about it, you know, and you are only a poor fool of a voter king anyway. You cannot act only at the dictation of those who are manipulating the party machine in their own interests and whose actions as well as words say “damn the people.”—People’s Press. .

Which Is Civilized?

England has a graded inheritance tax. The larger the estate the bigger the slice the government takes. Wealth is a social product; and when the rich man dies society comes into its own, to a greater or less degree. At the same time we have in this country a supreme court deciding that the government cannot tax incomes derived from rents or public bonds. The men who have the most and’ do the least for the community, are. relieved from taxation; while those who have the least and do ,the most, are left to foot the bills. Which nation is the most civilized and progressive?—Star and Kansan. Bonds are based upon the same thing that paper money is based upon—the credit and wealth of all the people of the United States.

THE MYSTIC CYCLE. Highest Grade Bicycle. ] I \\ Vvw \ \ \ Will Be In The Races On Descriptive Specifications. In presenting our’l 5 model to the public, we wish to impress the fact that the Mystic is not one of the many diamond frame bicycles with which the market is now flooded, and which can be bought at almost any price. On the contrary, the Mystic is one of the finest lined, most symmetrical and high/y finished machines at the disposal of intending purchasers. THE FRAME, in general appearance, is very pleasing and perfectly constructed on the latest and approved models. LARGE TUBING, of light gauge, is used throughout, and every joint reinforced, EVERY PART is made of the finest steel. OUR MECHANICS are the best in the world.. OUR MACHINERY is perfect. , - OUR STOCKHOLDERS are men of integrity. THE HEAD is inches in length, of large diameter, light and rigid. WHEEL BASE, 44 inches. Depth of frame, 23 inches (unless otherwise ordered), which is the standard depth for the average rider. This brings the top tubes and rear fork tubes on a level and parallel with each other, which is a pattern of neat appearance. THE TUBING is of the very best cold drawn seamless steel stock, produced from the finest quality Open Hearth Crucible Swedish Ingot. ALL SOLID PARTS are of the best quality steel, accurately machined and fitted. , THE BEARINGS aie the best procurable. Bearing cases and cones are of highest grade steel, perfectly hardened and accurately fitted. THE BALLS are of the best, made by the latest Rolled Forged Method, and are the most perfect produced. ' ’ THE SPOKES are the best Swaged Piano Wire Steel, capable of sustaing an enormous high tension. THE SPROCKETS are of the highest grade Drop Forgings, accurately machine-milled to fit chain. Front sprocket is light, yet very strong and rigid. REAR SPROCKET is detachable. FINISH consists of three coats of best jet enamel, baked on at a high temperature, all brush work (not dipped). Each coat, except last, is carefully rubbed down with felt and pumice stone, which imparts to the last coat that handsome iridescent finish so greatly admired. ALL BRIGHT PARTS are highly polished and given a heavy copper-plate, then repolished and nickle-plated. This prevents rustings and gives an elegant “solid” finish. WOOD RIMS. Our cycles are furnished with wood rims, unless otherwise ordered. These rims are proved and guaranteed. Steel rims, either nickel-plated or enameled. TIRES. Morgan & Wright.Vici; Webb or Dunlop. Other makes if purchaser so orders. HANDLE. BAR can be furnished in either drop or raised pattern and in two widths, 16 and 18 inches. FORK. Our Improved Fork is a design of our own, and is light with great strength. This is considered so great an improvement that we give a special drawing showingits construction ('HAIN. This is the great improvement of 1895, and we devote two pages to its description. Until you see this chain you cannot appreciate its merits. Our Improved Fork. THE CONSTRUCTION ot our Fork is very light, yet exceptionally strong and rigid, being built in such a manner as to distribute all strain equally on the different parts. FORK SIDES are all reinforced. The Morse Chain IS THE GREAT IMPROVEMENT OF 1895. THIS CONNECTION IS TO A CHAIN WHAT THE PNEUMATIC TIRE IS TO THE WHEEL. Just stop and think: No Oiling, No Binding, No Stretching, No Friction, and of course much less power to propel. Actual tests of 1894 show that in running 2,000 and 3,000 miles these chains did stretch only one-twentieth of an inch, and when put on factory machinery and run 5,000 miles the elongation was only one-eighth of an'inch. Do you think this is a pretty large story? Well, examine the cut and see how it works. It does not revolve around a pin, but works from the center and rocks in the pin, thus overcoming that great obstacle found in other chains. Use this chain once and you would not go back to the pin friction for half the cost of a wheel. You get,a Mystic and you get this chain. Before you buy a wheel see the Morse Chain. We do not say of. this chain that it is just as good, but that it is better than any other chain made, and is worth $15.00 more to any wheel. Join the Club and get an SBS for $65.
