and redemption Then, keep it before
the people that the old parties haye de-
stroyed the cities, the ships, and have
filled up the Wapsic until it is no larger
than the Little Buffalo"
''How is this" asked No. /, seeing
these things never existed? Can that
which never had an existence be de-
stroyed?"
Whether it had an existence or not.
makes no difference" answered No. Is.
Existence is of two kinds; real to the
senses, and real to the imagination
Now, imagination is just as real as is
the sense of touch See that man who
imagines himself teapot; one arm is
placed to represent the handle, and the
other the spout. The idea that he is a
teapot is just as real to him as your
idea of a teapot is to you. Let him
seat himself upon hot stove, and he
will boil. Now, if you tie his arms SO
that he cannot place them in the right
positions, you at once destroy teapot,
destroy property. Now, the old parties
have tied the arms Of the people so that
they cannot place them in the proper
positions, hence they have broken tea
pots by the hundred thousands, they
have destroyed property. The imagina-
ton does not regard time. A few years
ago the ideas of ships upon all our
streams, unlimited supplies, demands
and consumption were floating in the
immediate presence of the people. The
old parties gradually dispelled these
ideas, and hence destroyed property.
If doctor controls an acute pain by
the free and constant use of opium and
then ceases to supply the drug until the
patient is aware Of his condition, he is
guilty of causing suffering. 1t is the
duty of the government to provide for
all the people. The government owes
all it's subjects a living. Money is prop
erty, since it may at any time be con-
verted into property; this being so, the
old parties destroyed property because
they failed to put money into the hands
of all the people. The industries of the
country are ruined; mills and manufac-
turies are closed. This is destruction
of property, and the old parties are re-
sponsible." ="
WAS it not over production?"
There never was such a thing as over
production, nor can there be- The God
that supports this theory is fool, and
knows nothing of the vitalizing effects
Of plenty Of money. Suppose the peo-
pie are now rapidly building railroads.
The iron industries are greatly in
creased; furnaces and rolling mills null
tiply; iron advances in price; other fur
naces and mills, and still others spring
into existence; the roads are pushed
rapidly to completion; all is activity"
when the roads are completed and
the demands are met, then what of the
furnaces and mills?'
They keep on, and large supplies
are accumulated, and, under the policy
of the old parties, the owners and the
laborers are ruined, and all the vital in
terests of the county are prostrated.
1t is money that produces supplies and
at the same time consumes them. When
railroad iron begins to be accumulated
at the mills, increase the volume of
money, and more roads will be immed-
lately built. the seeming over produc-
ton will soon disappear. SO continue;
whenever a dozen rails are laid in stock
at any one mill, increase the volume of
currency and the rails will be taken by
the people. Other mills will spring up
but there can be no over production"
=" How long would you build roads?"
Until every man had railroad to
his stable, barn, garden and we'll
"Then what?" asked No. 3.
Then the people would span the
oceans with railroads. Money is pow
crful, but the Irredeemable is omnipo-
tent. TO span the ocean is but prob
lem in proportion. If a span 16O feet
long requires certain quantity of iron,
how much railroad iron will be required
for span 1000 miles long? That
these things are not done is equivalent
to the destruction of so much property.
Now, while | think of it, the old parties
are responsible for the destruction of
life; for it is much safer to travel by
rail than by ship. Now we will see
about over production in other depart
ments AS with the iron mills, so with
the cotton mills Whenever there is a
case of goods in stock at any of the
mills, increase the volume of the IRE
deemable, and the case will be immed-
lately utilized AS the business of
manufacturing increases, other mills
will 60 into operation with increased ca
pacity Where the women had four
dresses year, now they can have six.
But the manufacture will increase the
volume of the Irredeemable, and the
surplus will be consumed Now they
can have new dress every month; an
other increase in the volume, and new
dress every day will be the result; still
another, and new dress every thirty
minutes will be demanded, and the de-
mand will be easily and readily met.
Now there is place where they manu-
facture silver spoons. The capacity is
such that every child can haye a spoon
in its month. The manufacture is
doubled; now double the volume of cur
rency, and every child will have two
spoons in its month; double the manu-
facture and the currency again, and ev-
cry child will have four spoons in it's
month. If 1t is found that the capaci-
ty of mouth will not admit another
double of spoons, and in consequence
of this there is likely to be seeming
over production of spoons, then some
other place must be found Immediately
for them, or the number of mouths
must be doubled at once There can be
no over production. The old parties
hold that hogs are low, because there is
no foreign demand, and consequently,
there is an overproduction. This is fal-
lacy of these corrupt old parties. Sup
pose every person now consumes a hog
a year. Hogs are very prolific; next
year the number is doubled; now double
the volume of the Irredeemable- money
is great appetizer-and every person
will consume two hogs. Likewise,
double again. and again, and every per-
son will consume eight hogs year.
Double three times more, and every
person will consume sixty-four hogs a
year, little owes five hogs per month.
If the hogs average 250 lbs, this will
give every person about 40 TBS, per day.
Now, in the Arctic regions, where they
have no specie payments, twenty pounds
of meat at a meal, for one person is a
small allowance He eats this and goes
to sleep Immediately, because he cannot
get more. When you consider that the
followers of the Irredeemable are much
more intelligent, you must see that 100
Tbs. at meal, for one person indeed,
if we dare set a limits small allow
ance. Mark you, the capacity of the
stomach is in direct ratio to the general
