THE FINANCIAL GAME.

The Secretary of the Treasury. John
Sherman, of Ohio, who. while in the
Senate, acted more like the paid at
torney of National banks than repre-
sentative of the people, continues to
play into the hands of capitalists.
The financial game is to issue "a much
National bank currency as the owners
of the banks require, and withdraw
corresponding amount of United States
notes from circulation. The bonds
deposited with the Treasurer to secure
the National bank notes, are not taxed
for any purpose whatever, and they
draw interest at the rate of six per
cent. per snnum. payable in gold coin.
During the present month ST., 1901, $50
of this currency has been issued, and
rs the policy of the Treasurer is to
withdraw an eqnal amount of green
backs from circulation. that function
airy has directed the Assistant Treas
urer in New York to sell tomorrow
$1,000. 900 in gold for United States
notes, which are to be retired. Thus
over one million dollars in greenbacks,
on which the people pay no interest
are to be retired and National bank
notes, the securities for which
draw six per cent. interest in gold, are
issued in their stead. 1t is not sur
prising under these circumstances that
the people are overburdened with tax
alton. and that almost everything they
eat, drink and wear is plastered with
revenue stamps. The financial policy
of the Government is wholly conducted
in the interest of capitalists. and to
give the national banks full control of
the currency of the country, green
backs on which the people pay no in
terest are being retired as speedily as it
can be accomplished

Last evening one OF the most horri-

pie talked about it in low voices and
with feeling of dread. A deep we'll
or cistern had been found about fifteen
miles from the city, to which attention
had been called by sickening stencil
arising from it, and an investigation
disclosed the fact that the cistern was
half full of the bodies of men, women
aud children, the mangled bodies
having been thrown in all positions and
conditions. Some had had their
throats cut; Others were stabbed
through tho heart; others agaiu had
brains blown out. In house near by
vas found secreted about $3.50 in
money and a large lot OF jewelry and
other valuables, and an old bag OF
a woman. who, when arrested, ieered
at her captors, and declared the money
found was oniy little pocket change
