Money Against Productive Industry.

a friend handed lis the following,
the other day, clipped from a West
ern paper Read it, it is good
Capital against labor, does not now
present the real Issue that is being
tried in the Congress Of the United
States. But every productive indus
try of the country is now compelled
to pay a ruinous tribute to the money
ed asistocracy.
The disinterestcd patriotism (O OF
the moneyed men led them to sacli-
flee their gold at the rate Of one thou
sand dollars for twenty-five hundred
dollars in government bonds And
as slight token of the public appre-
citation Of such great sacrifices Con
gress exempted these bonds from all
burdens of taxation, and through the
national banking system gave them
ninety per cent. on the twenty-five
hundred dollars in addition thereto,
in national currency to loan to the
producer at such rates of interest as
his necessities might compel him to
pay. Thus, on the one thousand
dollars in gold invested, our benef-
cent Congress is allowing the investor
to draw from the producer interest on
the small sum of lorty-seyen hundred
and fifty dollars for about ten years!
Which, at an average Of ten per cent,
compounded would amount to the
nice little sum of twelve Thousand and
three hundred dollars. Some may
say that they do not receive as high
rates as ten per cent But we all
know that the producers Of the South
and West pay, on an average, even
much higher rates. But does not the
moneylender pay taxes on his money
not invested in government bonds ?
Not at all When the tax assessor
comes al hound they have all just in
vested their surplus funds in govern
ment bonds So their money has to
pay no taxes. They say why expand
the currency? The banks are full of
money! Yes, indeed, the banks are
full Of money!! And the people have
none! Nearly all productive indus
tries are crippled, from the fact that
the banks have all the money, and
there is not enough lett after this ter
rible drain TO Intricate the wheels of
industry and commerce. And millions
Of willing hands are out of employ
ment. Millions Of debtors will have
to sacrifice their little homes, and
leave their families houSeless and
homeless. They can pay neither the
principal nor interest on their indebt-
edness, and the money-lender is mex
orable The mortgage and the trust
deed must be toreclosed, and the saw
ings Of a lifetime are swept away on
a few days notice. Congress can re-
lieve us only permanently by abolish
ing these enormous privileges of
money and reducing the rates Of in
terest, and adopting national usury
law that will not allow the money
lender to swallow up the whole in
come and substance Of the borrower

Up in the Clouds.
BY DANIEL CONNOLLY
NY friend. your fancy flies too far.

MY friend. your fancy flies too far
The world of man lies round our feet
Hero its unceaslng conflict are,
And here its varying forces meet.
Pray, curb the thoughts that vaguely rise
Above life's real and stubborn facts u;
Give DER wild flights to distant skies,
And do some good by human acts.
Utopian dreams are pleasant things,
No doubtful dreams are poor at best
We live not by imaginings,
Nor thrive on vague and vain unrest.
We must behold with eyes of sense,
Our feet must tread in actual ways,
And ere we gain the recompense
IT'S ours to number toilsome days.
Grand theories Of what might be-
Prodigious schemes for changing all
Heavens order here can never free
Mankind from Natures bond and thrall.
What is, howoer or whence it came,
Is that which all must recognize
What might be wears winsome name,
But brings no JOY to fearful eyes.
So, friend, give DER your fancy fights,
Below the clouds you'll daily find
Much strife 'twixt struggling wrongs and rights
Much good to do to aid your kind.
Pray, curb the dreamy thoughts that rise
Above lfe's real and stubborn facts;
Forsake void realms and vacant skies,
And do some good by human acts.

BED BUGs-These insects, when
they get into partitions and other hid
ing places, can only beexterminated by
systematic and patient warfare.
Where paper is badly put on,raised
edges offer hiding places tor the bugs,
and in rooms finished by plastering or
hard finish, cracks are often left that
harbor the pests A minute examina-
ton of each room should be made.
Stop every creyice, if no wider than
knife-blade, with plaster of Paris mixed
with water to the consistency Of thick
cream. Mix only a little at aitime, as
it soon "sets." Every crevlce in the
walls and ceiling being filled, attention
must be given to the floor, and all
cracks filled either by plaster or calking
with oakum OF cotton driven in firm
and hard. If the room is papered it
may be necessary to strip off the old
paper and put on new, or loose edges
may be pasted down. In either case
mix enough of carbolic acid with the
paste to have it smell strongly of the
acid. Thorough work in stopping in
one way or another all hiding places is
the only course. Bedsteds may be
scalded and the joints treated to a
strong solution Of carbolic acid-all
that water will dissolve-or solution
of an ounce of corrosive sublimate to a
pint each of alcohol and water. Do
