| visibly shivered and audibly sighed at the
report of his peril. The Money Power mas
had, from the beginning of Time down to the
| advent of Voorhees,, pretty easy time OF IT,
| At various periods in the worlds history
| there have come up men of great and slngu-
lar gifts, of the wilkins Micawber and Al
| fred Jingle class, who have set foot
| to foot against it in behalf of the
toiling and oppressed millions of their
| fellow-men, whose prOmissOry notes the
Money Power has rudely refused to
discount But none of these has ever sue
ceeded in the permanent substitution OF the
easy and flexible prOmissOTy note for the hard
end inelastic metals Of the Money Power.
Many have languished in debtors prisons, ana
many others spent their later days skipping
about uneasily from place to place in nlus-
| trious endeayOrs to Glide the pursuing war
rart and escape the hard hand of the con-
stable. Still the merciless Money Power
stalkcd abroad at MONDAY, compelling rich
and poor to pay cash, and refusing with scOIn
and contumely to accept the promIssory note
of the INDECENT.
But those days have gone by. When Noor-
bees went into the Senate, the Money Power
made up its mind that it meant business. III
could stand up against the prolific and pro-
mlscuOus cursiDg of Denis kearney, for
Kearney did his swearing III sand lots and
other desert places, and at the end Of 1t made
complete surrender to the Money Power by
passing round the hat for coin. But Voorhees,
in the Senate meant a desperate tug to over
throw the Money Power finally and ire
vGcably. IL was Immediately felt that the
Trojan horse which the gift-bcaring Greeks OF
the Money Power were about to Introduce
into the citadel was in danger OF
being pierced Ivy thrust from the
spear of this Indiana LaOcO0n, this High
Priest of the People. Hence the conspiracy
which, as we learn from the correspondence
Of The Cincinnati Enquirer, is creeping forth
like the serpent from the sea to turn around
and crush him. 1t isn't strange at all that the
Money Power should conspire against such a
man. II might have been expected. Noor-
hcrs himself should have known that no man
of his towering intellect, his intuitive knowledge
of the laws of finance and trade, and his
thorough mastery of the science of political
economy, could enter the lists against that
dreadful tyranny without making himself at
once the object of every kind of secret con-
splracy and dabOlical plot. For the Money
Power is desperate. 1t said IA soon as Noor-
nceS began the study of political economy,
There's danger ahead And wien he had
SD far mastered it as to satisfy himself that it
is much easier and cheaper to take up note
by renewal than by payment, and began to
unfold his views Of things to this extent, the
Money Power braccd itself for great struG-
GLE and said with the emphasis OF despera
ton, "This is fight for funeral" So this
revelation ought not to take any one by sur
prise shocking as the conspiracy is to all right
minded men in Indiana.
We hope shortly to hear more definitely OF
the details of tins business from NcwAlbany,
Ind, where the conspiracy was first discov-
cred IL will he a great loss to civilization
if the Money Power should succeed in this
deep laid plot against NoOrhees's return 10
the Senate. for mankind is expecting great
things from him in the future. and the Great
West looks hopefully to him 10 abolish want
and do away with pay day. But If he should
fall before the Money Power, let us
still hope that some convenient niche may
he saved for him in the National Pantheon,
where, rs the LAGOON striving grandly,
though Intellectually. with the hydra of the
Money Power. IN whose folds Denis Kcarncy
and General Butler have already been crushed,
he shall show forth to succeeding ages the
story of the great struggle. The Money
Power and Voorhees, are now about to graphic.
Let the Universe stand still and look at it.
