The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-10-24

Iher Jack Cades; these men arose from
among the people to strike down op-
preston. But the masses were enslav-
ed. To-day the peopleare enlightened.
High aspirations move them to action
foresight begot Of experience shines on
their pathway, and they see the future.
Next month the nation speaks in
thunder tones. For almost twenty
years it has been weighed down with
fool management !; immense debts have
been piled upon it; bad laws, like 50
many ulcers, have been permitted to
grow on our political body. Bad men
have been permitted to act as sentries
in our temple Of liberty. Dark schemes
have been executed by which the iber-
ties Of the people nave been contract
ed. Hopes bave been crushed, ambi-
ton blighted, and all that goes to make
q nation great and good has been de-
stroyed, and all that belittles a people
have been placed above them.
Men Of labor arise in your might,
and by the strong power of the ballot
demand that all that is unconstitution-
al in our laws must be repealed, all
that is unjust must ne overturned, and
all that is restrictive must be removed.
Let new principles be asserted, princi-
pies which will make it possible for
you and yours to live as men in com
fort, surrounded by all that makes life
desirable. Will you do it People.

WHERE RESTS TIE POWER I?

Politics make strange bed fellows,
is true saying, but there are stranger
things than this. The National Green
back party when it started called itself
by name, but its enemies dubbed it the
"rag baby Ridicule is the treatment
to which all new movements or ideas
are subjected. When Morse invented
the telegraph, and measured the won
derful transformations it would pro-
duce, he went down to Washington,
explained his theory ana purpose to
Congress, and was laughed at as crazy
fool. Only to get rid Of him and his
telegraph did Congress make an appro-
priation to test the value Of his wires
between that city and Baltimore.
Did not all the world laugh at the
rag baby ? ridicule its pretentions,
and set down as fools and fanatics those
who nursed the infant? Look back in
history and the same reception We find
was accorded every great movement.
Even Christianity itself came from
humble sources, and men spread it. Fl
nally Constantine enshrined it with the
splendor Of earthly royalty. The now
great coming National party came into
existence by humble men who saw
clearly that political anarchy was
ahead of Us and our institutions unless
our money power was throttled.
The masses who when aroused are
always patriotic, are coming like an
army of freemen to defend the princi-
pies Of industrial liberty. To-day who
uphold the money power? Those who
are its s,aves-not freemen, not patri-
ota. Patriots are now needed. The
money power is strong. 1t aims at the
extinguishment Of Republican instltu-
tions, and it viii arrest If it can the
march of civilization.
That power has piled up : debt up

THE CONTROLLING POWER.

So far as we can form any judgment
on the subject the outlook is less
hopeful than Mr.. Hayes or Mr.. Simon
Cameron would have the country
believe it to be. Instead Of having
'spassed its worst" the greenback
agitation seems TO us more formidable
than ever.
The strength Of the agitation can
not be measured by the probabilities
Of success or defeat as estimated by
the nominations Of a third party,
whether called Greenback, Greenback-
Labor or National. Where its force
is absolutely great it will, of course,
be aDle to elect its own candidates.
And the admitted likelihood of its
being able to produce any appreciable
effect of this distinctive character,
whether in regard to Congressional
or State nominations, would alone be
tribute to its influence. Its most
sauguine supporters might imagine
that it had : chance Of acquiring =
majority In the next House or in the
Legislature Of the State. What they
haye alleged i, that the election win
give then the balance q power - tho

next House Of Representatives and in
several of the States; and the expecta-
EtlOn is not unreasonable. The true
test of the influence welded by the
Greenback people is the extent to
which their principles and purposes
effect public opinion and the plans Of
other parties. Tried by this standard
the Greenback movement has already
accomplished wonders. Look at some
LOT the results of which its promoters
not unfairly boast. #
The majority Of the conventions,
Republican and Democratic, have,
with more or less directness, sane
Itioned the fundamental ideas of the
Greenback party. The conventions
which have declared themselves in
favor Of honest Interpretation Of the
| Nations obligations might be counted
on ones fingers. In nearly all the
Northern States the Democratic cam
INldates are conducting their canvass
on what are known as greenback
principles In most Of the Southern
States the Republicans are cooper
ating with the Greenbackers. One
after an other, Democratic leaders
fall down and worship the paper idol.
Republicans see their Secretary Of
their Congressional Committee, and
multitude Of others who speak in the
Republican name. tampering with the
principles which underlie sound
finance, and putting loose construc-
ton up IN measures that are essential
to it, for the sole purpose of coun-
teracting the efforts Of the new party.
An uncounted host of practical
politicians, Republican and Democrat,
thus testify to the fact that the
s.Greenback craze has not only not
''passed it's worst" but is shaping the
course Of the old parties, and modify
ing the action Of men whose official
duty dictates an unyielding resistance.
The Inducements which cOntri-
butte to its volume are outside of the
range Of ordinary partisan observa-
tion. They are not visible, there
fore, to a President on a pleasure
tour, nor to local leaders who trust
to their followers for information.
For this reason, Greenback success
wherever it has been achieved has
uniformly beeu surprise. Great
folks have rubbed their eyes and
wondered that this thing could be
which their friends had only laughed
at. 1t will be unfortunate, there
fore, if the hopeful feeling expressed
by the President be allowed to en-
gender overconfidence. The feeling
from which the movement derives it's
life is SO widely diffused, and is fed
from SO many sources, that the most
prudent course is to acknowledge the
presence Of great danger. and one
that only courage and stern principle
can overcOme.-NeW York Times.

button OF its products. and the requir-
meats Of business, fixing minimum
amount per capita Of the population as
near Is may be, and otherwise regula-
3 its value by wise and equitable
rovisisions Of law, so that the rate ofin-
terest will secure to labor its Just re-
ward.
FIFTH 1t is inconsistent with the
genius Of popular government that any
species Of private property should be
exempt from bearing its just share Of
the public burdens. Government bonds
ana money should be taxed precisely
as other property, and a graduated in
come tax should be levied for the sup
port of the Government and the pay
ment of its debts.
S1xrH-Public lands are the COM
mon property Of the whole people, and
should not be sold to spectators nor
granted to railroads or other corpora
tions, but should be donated to actual
settlers, in limited quantities.
SEvENTH-The government should
by general enactments, encourage the
development Of our agricultural, min
eral, mechanical, manufacturing, and
commercial resources, to the end that
labor may be fully and proftably en-
ployed, but no monopoies should be
legalized.
EIGHTH-All useless Offices should be
abolished, the most rigid economy ia
vored in every branch Of the public ser
vice, and severe punishment inflicted
upon public officers who betray the
trusts reposed in them.
I NTH--As educated labor has de-
vised means for multiplying production
by inventions and discoveries, and as
their use requires the exercise of mind as
well as body, such legislation should be
had that the number Of hours Of daily
toll will be reduced, giving to the work
ing classes more leisure for improve
ment and their several enjoyments, and
saving them from premature decay and
death.
TENTH-The adoption OF an Ameri-
can monetary system, as proposed here
in, will harmonic all differences in re-
gard to tariff and federal taxation, re-
duce and equalize the cost Of transpor-
tation by land and water, distribute
equitably the joint earnings Of capital
and labor, and secure to the producers
of wealth the result Of their labor and
skill, and muster out Of service the vast
army of oilers who, under the existing
system, grow rich upon the earnings Of
others, that every man and woman
may, by their own efforts secure CON-
petence, SO that overgrown fortunes and
extreme poverty will be seldom found
in our republic.
ELEVENTH Both national and state
governments should establish bureaus
of labor and industrial statistics, cloth
ed with the power of gathering and
publishing the same.
TWELFTH the contract system
of employing labor IN our prisons and
reformatory institutions works great in
Justice to our mechanics and artisans,
and should be protected.
THIRTEENTH-The importation Of
servile labor into the United States,
from China, is problem Of the most
serions Importance, and we recommend
legislation looking to its suppression.

CHOOSE YE.

On the 25th day Of March, 1853, the
National Bank Bill was approved,
authorizing the issue of 1900, 200, 900
and restricting the bank issue to this
amount.
BY the second section of the Act Of
June 30, 1864, it was provided that
the total amount of United States
notes issued or to be issued shall not
exceed $500 100000.
BY these two Acts the future paper
currency of the country was limited
to 500. 1000, 900.
At this time there was a much
larger amount of Treasury notes in
circulation, which by subsequent Acts
was more than doubled.
After the war-to-wit, on the 18th
day Of March, 1865, the contraction
act was passed. authorizing the Sec
rotary Of the treasury to fund, cancel
and retire all the United States
treasury notes in excess Of $4OO, OO0,-
600.
In 1875 the resumption act was
passed. This act provided FOR the re-
demption of all the fractional cur
rency in fractional silver, and the
final redemption and retiI ement Of
all the greenbacks on January !,
1879.
This act also removed the $500, OOO,-
600 limitation to the bank currency
and opened the doors wide for bank
note imitation by allowing the bank
currency to be expanded without
limit.
Mark the inevitable result If this
bank policy it allowed to be carried
out.
After resumption, the financi al dis
tress Of the country would call loudly
for an increase Of money.
Property would be worthless, and
all that had been under mortgage
would be roped into the hands Of
mortgage holders under the sheriff's
| hammer.
The banks having the property
would initiate the currency (which
would cost them nothing) SO as TO en-
nance the value of such as they had
on their hands; set all the factories in
motion; light up the furnace fires;
I'll the country again with wealth
and prosperity, and when there was
enough Of new wealth on hand to
make it an object, they would again
contract the currency, depress values,
inaugnrate another period Of bank.
rnptcy, haul in their net and bag the
game.
Under q well-regulated. uniform
volume of government, not converti.
BILE money, beyond the control or
monopoly Of sharks, panics would
never take place.
Expansions and contractions could
not occur, but uniform and uninter-
rupted growth and prosperity would
result.
Vote the old party policies, and
suffer the intermittant spasms and,
reactions Of bank imitation and con-
traction. Or vote for the National
Greenback policy and enjoy uninter-
rupted prosperity.
