Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1879-05-15
POLITICAL MENTION,

THE government swaps credit with the
banks and pays per cent. to boot. How
is this for government credit?
WHAT is Public Credit?"
1t consists of the stupidity of the people,
the duplicity of congress, and the power
of Wall street to control the government.
"WHAT is meantby public honor?"
1t means the enforcement by the govern
ment, of a contract between two thieves
to rob the people. Or, in other words,
the "honor" that is said to exist among
thieves"
JoHN RUsKIN, the English Wendell
Phillips, continues to discharge such shots
as this: "Whereas, it has been known
and declared that the poor have no right
to the property of the rich, | wish it to be
known that the rich have no right to the
property of tbs poor"
The New York Tiamcs says "the ready
convertiblity OF the bonds makes them
attractive to idle capital" When the
debts of a country become more attractive
to idle capital than its productive indus
tries, it shows a condition of business pros
tratlon, in the collapse stages of financial
cholera.
THE entire product of the United States
for the year 1870, was S4,2OO,OOO,OOO Just
800 for each inhabitant, estimating the
population at 100000. Who among
the "over production" and wild extrav-
agance" brawlers would be satisfied with
his prO-rata of the years products, and the
extravaganza 1t would afford?
TIE national banks are the middle.mcn
in trade, They receive the currency from
the government at one per cent. and pass
it tower to the people on commission from
eight to ten per cent. By this means
about $l3O,OOO,OOO annually is paid by
the people for the support of these gov
crnment pets, which might be saved to
industry, by abolishing these toll houses.
The Chicago Times SAYS:

the people have done business for the last
sixteen years without money. If tbov aro
not money, then the bondholders loaned
no money to the government. forit was
greenbacks they gave for bonds. If thev
are money, the power of the government
to create is established, and its right to 6
continue not abrogated.
How do the politicians steal the fruits
of liberty?'
First, by binding the voters together in
great droves called Democrats" Or "Re-
publicns," depriving them of their polit-
ical freedom and individual right of choice.
Second, they erect platform, place their s
own candidates upon 1t, and under the
party Lash, drive their droves of sham |
freemen to the polls, to 90 through the
farce of exercising the right of suffrage.
