SOME FADING QUESTIONS,

In replying to the assertion that
there is Il plenty of money and that
we only need more confidence to bring
back the good times. the Sunday
Capital. of Columbus, O., puts some
leading questions thus:-''If there is
plenty of money, why is it that the
business man with thousand dollars
of good accounts cannot collect one
hundred of it in cash! If money is
plenty, why is it that business men.
with property worth ten thousand
dollars, cannot meet Il cash claim of
one-tenth that amount! If money is
plenty. why is it that universal COM
plant that 1T is almost impossible to
make collections! That A cannot pay
b. because G cannot pay him, because
ID cannot collect is bills, and SO on
down. II it be true that what is
wanted is not more money, but more
business, why is it that the complaint
that goes up on every hand is not that
there is no business, but that the man
who does business cannot get the
money for what he does doi And if
he cannot get money to carry on linn
tied business that he now does, how,
with the present amount Of currency,
could he get more money to do more

THE WAR UPON PROPERTY.

The policy of contraction and so.
called resumption is the most insid-
ious and effective war upon property,
and property owners and earners, ever
inaugurated in any country. The
records of bankrupt proceedings for
one day in this city Shows list of
one hundred and twenty-four men
added to the rapidly growing list of
non-property owners. The aggregate
value of property taken from these
124 persons is not stated, but it is fair
to presume that it is largely over one
million dollars. This process has been
going ON for years. 1t will not cease
with the repeal of the bankrupt law.
for the primary causes that forced
the surrender of property are still in
operation and are entireli separate
and distinct from the bankrupt law.
That law was only \ rule for the dis
tribution of the effects of bankrupt
and the legal process of winding up
his estate. and had nothing to do with
making him insolvent. For more
than ten years the policy of the gov
eminent has been at war with the
interests of every man who owned
real property, and against every in.
dustrial and productive enterprise
and solely in the interest of the men
owning fictitious property, such as
bonds, notes and mortgages. and who
like the vampire. fastened themselves

government had to pay out money,
but when the importer wished to pay
money to the United States it was
discredited. To the contractor who
furnished supplies for carrying on the
war, to the soldier who fought the
battle of his country. to the pensioner
who had given an arm for the preser-
walton Of the union, the government
insisted the greenback was money.
but at the Custom House it was not
money. And yet the Republican party
has the sublime impudence to claim
to be the party of honest money.

from the earliest ages, and where will
you find a greater piece Of dishonesty!
Where will you find one kind OF

TO THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE,.

Let me submit few questions for
the consideration of thoughtful peo-
pie, on the farm as we'll as in the
village.
What cause has placed our farms,
factories, workshops, business firms
and village residences, under mort
gage and jugement debts?
What cause has shrunk the value of
every product. and siienced the spin.

ment at any wages, and involved the
country in Industrial ruin!
What cause has protected capital
| loaned at any rate of interest, in its
exorbitant and imperious demands
and robbed us of our ability to pay
our debts!
What cause has filled our cities
villages and highways, with the des
titute and furnishing, asking for 4 job
TO supply their wives and children
with bread to keep them from starry
ing!
What cause, in this second century
of our boosted growth and civiliza
ton, has adjudged and pronounced
poverty crime, and sent to Phila
deIphia prison about three hundred

not being able to procure work, ant
not being able to live without eating

HONEST. OR DISHONESTY

The first 50 millions of notes issued
were y full legal tender and receivable

after they were made legal tender.
Now if you will make the greenback

100 cents. and clothe it with the at
tributes Of money, we shall hear no
more of depreciation, imitation, and
hard times. The Republican party is

BOILER EXPLOSION AT WHEELING

Wheeling, W. Va, July 17.-A very large boiler
in the planning mill belonging to Messrs. Davis &
starbuck, from some unknown cause exploded,
scattering death and destruction on all Sides The
entire population of the town turned out to aid
the iremen, and after couple of hours of hard
work the flames were extinguished and the
search for the dead and wounded began, and this
was difficult task, for the tint ers and founda-
tions of the building were piled up in immense
masses.
James Podget fireman, was blown against a
pile of lumber two hundred feet from the mill,
and his body mangled into a mass resembling
sausage. Four other men were buried under the
principal mass of ruins, and 1t took two hours to
get them out. BY that time three of them were
dead and the other died as he was being carried
away, Five other men were wounded, and the
doctors say that probably none Of them will re-
cover.
The list of the killed and wounded as far as is
known is as follows: Killed-James Podget, fire
man; Charles Ellsler, William Hyscre and James
Burchard, all mill hands, fatally wounded. John
Moore engineer, hand cut off and skull mashed
In. VIM. Dent, arm broken and injured internal
ly: James Blowers, arm broken and head mash.

nally and internally; Charlie Ellsler, little son

man. happened to be looking out of q second.
story window when the explosion occurred, and
he at once jumped out and escaped with only a
few bruises. The widest excitement prevails, and
the people are coming in from the surrounding
country. Several persons are missing and cannot
be accounted for, ana 1t is thought that more bod
les may be found as the work on the ruins con.
tinues. The cause Of the explosion is at present
an unaccOuntRble thing. The loss will be in the
neighborhoOd ofS50,0OO.
