ment, can for one moment seriously
doubt. Capital and Labor or the potent
forces of Aristocracy aud Democracy
are engaged in a bitter and growing con-
test for supremacy through political
channels, and the recent bloodless strife
in Maine cannot and ,oiW not be repeat
ed dd infnitum in other sections.
Should the attempt be made-and who
can doubt its probabilily?-an active an
armed resistance to the destructive pro -
cesses and aggressive policy of the capi-
talstic classes will almost inevitably
and presumably follow, when the in
augnration of an American Casarism
or Dictatorship will be imperatively de-
manded by the combined powers Of the
popular Church and the Aristocrats of
Wealth. Capital is iDtelligently and
well organized, and therein lies the
great source of danger to the toiling
millions who are numerically stronger
bu, orgdaicdiiy weaker than their vigi-
lant opponents. To them, wisdom
must come through the severe ordeal OF
experience.
As truthful illustration of the say
ing that "coming events cast their shad-
ows before them," | enclose you the fol-
lowing communication written and
published, as the article will show, near
ly four " ars ago, at the very inception
| of the present widesp cad financial
revolution, destined 20 eliminate in
great national events and obliterate
present party lines so that the readers
of your paper, conversant with current
events, may judge for themselves Of its
corr ectness aud present application to
the financial status and general condi-
tion of the country.
And now, Mr.. Editor, let me state in
| conclusion and warn the unthinking
masses of the country, that General
| Anarchy with his numerous un6sciplin-
| ed forces are on the march toward the
citadel of Freedom, and nothing will
satisfy "the Power behind the prospect
lively American) throne" but to meet
and subjugate these advancing hosts of
Liberty, by another well-known Gener-
al at the head of we'll organized, dis
ciplined and rapidly glowing national
military organization.

AMERICAN FINANCE.
WILMINGTON, Del, March 25, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Sun ::
This is the subject soon to engross
more fully than ever the American mind.
1t enters now largely into the practical
salvation of our nation from a grievous
a
ment of this principle, as fundamental
law and a distinct proposition, on which
the perpetuity of our American institu-
tions depends is a work of the present
grand practical work based upon the
revolution of American politics-econo-
mic principles. The present is the re-
deeming hour from the past blunders of
American legislation, based as it has
been, largely upon the dctation of for
eign capitalists; and he who would ig-
more the momentous issues of the pres
ent, is traitor to the best interests of
this country. We need wise and pa
triotlc legislation adapted to the present
requirements of the American people,
and nothing guaged by its previous his
tory or practices of other nations. We
profess to be free, independent and iu-
dvidualzed nation, and yet we tena-
ciOusly adhere 10 the practices of other
nations who are Numerically opposed
to us in the theory of government.
What grand inspiring question to be
decided by the American people during
ing the Centennial birth-year of their
nationality What is comparable to it,
in magnitude and Importance, as seen
through the dark mists of corruption
which encircle and hedge in our present
national administration Must we not
manfully meet the practical issues of the
day, as forced upon us by the corrup-
tions and Auti-American legislation OF
the party in power or be consumed by
the devastating fires of lustful adher-
ence to the Anti-Christan God Mann
mon? 1t is a vital question, affecting
the interest of every individual, as well
as of government Itself. Honest men
cannot and will not ignore it, when made
fully conversaut with it, 1t demands
immediate action from the people. The
question fairly stated, aud to be decided
by the American people people, is,
whether we as nation are capable of
self-government independently of ex-
traneous inflences, having for basis
fouu dation system of finance peculiar
ly adapted to the needs of an Anglo
American civilization or be the burden
bearers in the future, as we have been
in the past, of aristocratic and monarch
ical e TO o?
We, as the new vanguard of American
freedom, propose to stop the further in
fiux of pernicious European doctrines,
to be incorporated into our system of
national finance; for we believe that we
are capable of controlling our own do
mestic finances without any Intervention
from others. To accomplish this, it is
absolutely necessary to find some new
political channel through which the
wishes of the people can be expressed
an organization conceived by the ostra-
cism imposed uIon the people by the
present demoral.zed political parties, ,and
born through the travals of wide spread
human suffering. This Organization
must be founded upon principles funda-
mental the perpetuity of our government
broad enough and deep enough for all
humaoity to rest upon, to the natural
exclusion of none. Have we yet wit
messed this birth induced by the moral
necessities of the times l answer yes,
we have the embodyment of these prin-
ciples $50 far as is practical in this age
of corruption and national decay in the

harbinger of publication In it we hope
that the honor, integrity and individual
