The Anti-Monop0list.

taken care Of by the general govern
ment, without dollar in coin to re-
deem their bills, loaned to the people
at y per cent interest, but draw no
interest while out after due redemp-
ton.
About forty years ago, when presl-
dents and officers were honest, under
Gen. Jackson's administration, the
proceeds of the public lands accumu-
lated in the national treasury. till its
magnitude became alarming; and
Congress finally to remove temptation
distributed all Of it among the differ
ent States, on the ratio of represen-
tation in Congress, to be used by each
State until called for. The State OF
New York made a State law. and
loaned her share at a low rate of inter-
est, on real estate, taking note and
mortgage. And / am credibly in
formed, that it still remains on loans
then made, collecting interest annual
ly, all property safe and secure to
this date. And in the State of Illinois
over forty years ago, when men were
honest, the school land. in each
township, were sold on appraisal and
the money put into the hands Of
trustees in each township to be loaned
for interest to the inhabitants Of the
towns, and on all sums over 800 real
estate security was required. And
for twenty years under my observa-
ton all the money secured by note
and mortgage on real-estate were
perfectly secure, with interest paid
every six months and divided to
school district teachers; thus forming
small township banking fund, in
every township for the use of the
people of the town; managed by trns
tees elected annually by the voters
The interest supported all their
common schools. instead Of paying
; interest to shin plaster banks.
Now it is very easy to see how q
system of national currency may be
) maintained, and the interest proceeds
not put into bankers pockets, but con
verified to the public good, thereby
} lowering our interest on money from
II to per cent, and lowering oul
, taxes in the same ratio every year
This however,Sis utterly impossible
while machine politicians run for ole
i. King Caucus, whose business it is tt
corrupt all the voters, who are no
honest and independent.
would recommend that every vote
, shall hereafter scratch off all the loya
l nominations of old King Caucus, ant
!, vote for honest Independent candi
4 dates; that the people should meet il

-PoKER JoE's" TEN COMMANDMENTS

.'POKER JOE'S" TEN COMMANDMENTS
a correspondent writing from Cen
trial City, near Deadwood, gives the
latest Black Hills version of the Ten
Commandments, which have become
the common law of the land:
We had to hang man here the 9th
er day. We'd been putting it off on
account Of lack of time and bit Of
sentiment, till the morals of our town
had become as bad as those of Chica-
go. In all camps and towns of the
| hills. there are certain understood
things. They form a sort of second
| Ten commandments, and read as fol.
lows:
Y /. Thieves and robbers will be
driven out of camp for the first offense
hung for the second.
,. The man who picks quarrel
had better pick up his traps.
5. Men convicted of murder shall
be hung on the same day.
4. Passing bogus money will entitlt
4 chap to pass out of town, everybody
takinga kick at him rs he goes.
5. Don't covet your neighbor'
wife.
6. Lying should be discouraged.
I. Whack up even on all "finds.
s. No Sinking in an Indian fight.
8 All notes of hand must be pal,
when due. or down goes the maker.
: 10. Rebellion against the legal au
thority of the town. shoveS the rebe
out and contiScates his claim.
Most any man can live up to thes
laws and not shed hair and the ma
who doesn't mean to, will. sooner, 0
later, be choked to death.

are not. The latter has been made 6
standard Notwithstanding its varia.
bleness, while gold, which really
knows no change, has been kept
above standard.
The great complaint of the oppon-
ents of silver lie that its remonetiza-
ton at the outset steals five cents from
every dollar of greenbacks any man
holds. Suppose it does; hasn't this
sort of thing been going on for years
Hasn't the bondholder been wringing
gold values out of people whom he
has forced to take purposely de-
preciated greenback currency for
their earnings? Haven't his bonds
which have toiled not, nor sweat,
made gold interest out of the
hard labor of the country? But all
At once he comes to the rescue of his
oppressed greenback friends, upon
whom he has himself extortioned, and
says they must not now rob them
selves ! Tender solicitude, for the
reason that it is not at all to his in
terest that money become too cheap,
or too "easv.'
1t seems evident, however. that the
power of capital will enable it to
maintain at least double standard
-bold and we were about to say,
silver-but greenbacks is the word.
Capital really wants triple standard
gold, greenbacks and silver-a
medium for itself and a circulation
for the poor But the probabilities
favor the idea that silver will be
made at least as good as the green
backs. Why it should not be is
puzzling question with many people
who cannot understand why silver is
really a "baser metal" than paper.
1t is only so nomlmally, because it is
in the interest of the moneyed classes
to keep up the discrimination. The
workingmen of the country are will
ling to take pay in either, preference,
if any, being in favor of silver; they
are not able to see how promise to
pay is better than the pay itself.
