A System Whose Purpose Is to Enslave
Labor.

Who is SO blind lut that they can
see that debt, to pay the intcrc:t On
which requires 100000 men out Of
II, 900, 900 to work all the time, can only
have been forced upon the nation by the
most gigantic frauds, and wrongs that
have no parallel in history except in the
few instances where the stronger have
deliberately planned to enslave the
weaker peop'e.
The man who has a son or daughter.
or the mother with her little ones around
her, who Is not filled with righteous in
dignation at the thought Of the attempt
being made to cnslaye the coming genera
ton, and force them through ail their
years to delvc and dig and starve that
they may pay interest to n set Of legal
thieves, is too dull to think 1T all, or
without the natural instincts Of a
parent.
4 debt upon which the annual interest
absorbs AL the products OF the labor Of
one-third Of the people means poverty to
oil, for not one third OF the products
Of labor are profit, and If debt
requiring Tire labor OF one-third oil
all the able bodied men Of nation is
forced upon them in twenty years, that
debt will be doubled in less than twenty
more, or it will be cancelled hy the sur
render to the debtor Of the element, Of
wealth, the lanl, and either Of tho two
means slavery.
The indebtedness Of the people Of the
United States, public and private, is not
less than twenty two billions Of dollars,
nearly all Of which has been made i'll the
last twenty years.
At 6 per cent. the interest each year
on the So, Oe0, 600, 600 is 81, $40. 0oO. oo0.
At Fl per day, which is more than the
average wages pail farm hands, it takes

interest. Suppose the working people
werk 300 days in the year, it will re-
quire 4, 400, 600 Of them working all the
time to pay this interest.

States there are little over $4,000, 600

not quite three times as much as goes

Greenbacks or !" Wild Cat. .

At the rate the debt is being paid ut
present. in less than six years national
banks will be compelle to surrender
their circulation.
What theE will be substituted?
This is the question that business men
must look squarely in the face.
Within the last fifty years we have
had only two other kinds of pap. r
money. VIZ, greenbacks and State-bank
money.
Between these two kinds which will
the people choose-if, happily. 1.-THE
people shall be permitted to decide
the question?
Strange rs it may seem, it is never.
thclcss true. that there are q very great
number of persons who favor restora-
ton Of the old State.bank money in use
before the war. They have such an in
tense hatred for the greenhack currency
that they prefer even the wildcat !"
money Of forty years ago.
Within the last week the Chicago
Times editorially advocated the retire
ment OF greenbacks and the substitution
OF bank paper. 1t says: 1.-The wise
thing to do would lie, first, to repeal the
paper-tender acts; second, to retire the
Government from the business of NAL :
ing paper and keep it ont Of that bust
ness forever; third, to limit the amount
OF uncovered paper to, say about $780,
ON, 900, permit additional issues only
when backed, dollar for dollar, with
gold coin or bullion actually he'd in the
vaults Of the issuing banks. and TO re-
Quire the banks to redeem their notes In
gold coin, on demand" This is a beau
tiful system, that the Times would have
established!
Banks will issue $500 900, 900 of " un-
covered" that j., irredaemabl :
paper money. 1t would rot he a legal
tender, nor would II have even the in
behind it. To that extent banks could
issue their promises to pay with no
other responsibility than that Of issuing
still other promises 10 pay with
which to pay the former issue.
All over aid above $500, DOC. 900 the
Tns.s would have backed, dollar for
dollar, with gold II. then, the banks
should issue $50. OOD, 900 Of paper over
and above the $500 900, 0DO OF tire
deemable,' uncovered" paper. they
would have just Is 900, 900 ot gold with
which to redeem .'on demand IN gold "
oil Of their $40, GOO, 600 OF Lotes.
But, stripped Of ali its yerbiage, the
Times suggestion means nothing more
nor less than b@nk issue, based (iheo
ietically) upon coin.
Now, then, it is not to be presumed
that bankers have grown particularly
honest within the last twenty years il
is presumed, therefor, that iii, re would
be the same old practices ot suing two.

that it woul he any different now than
in the days Of wild cal" banks.

that In all the long years he had been
in Congress il there had been one
honest effort to pass or enforce any law
in the interest Of labor he was not aware
Of it. Ask yourselves, Democrats and
Republicans, whether the principles Of

your party managers, in and out Of
Congress, are acting In the interests Of
the Shylocks or Ia the interests Of the

THE date Of the first invention Of sew
ing needles is unknown. Their use was
known to the ancient Egyptians, needles
having been found in their tombs. They
were Of bronze and three or four inches
in length. Pliny mentions bronze
needles as in use in his day. The steel
needle was introduced into England in
the time Of Elizabeth; but the process
by which it was made was kept secret
and the art was unknown till the year
1850, when it was revived by one Green
ing in Buckinghamshire.

TO Congress- Mr.. Lincoln calls the atten-
t,on Of the whole nation to the fact that
an effort is being made to place capital
on an equal footing with, if not above,
labor in tho structure Of government,
and he warns the La6onal legislature
and the people to beware of that effort.
He says there il no such lelation ha-
tween capital and labor ~ assumed. He
says labor is prior to and independent
Of capital; that capital is only the fruit
Of labor, and could never have existed If
labor had not first existed; that labor is
the superior Of capital, and deserves
much the higher consideration. This is
the position Mr.. Lincoln took, and we
give his words in full to prove it. This
was the position Of Jefferson and Jack
son also.
And now we ask Republicans and
party managers hold to and indorse and
try to enforce these great doctrines in
behalf Of the people. Look at the legis-
lation Of thscountry. State and national,
and ask yourselves il your party man
ayers, in office or out Of office. try io
carry out this doctrine on the capital
and labor question. Look ~at the sub
sides Of land and bonds in favor Of
monopolles lock at the iniauitous
modes Of drawing the public revenues
from the consumers. the iaborers, the
mechanics. the work'ngmen. Look ut
the legislation in favor Of banks. and
money, and bonds, and railroad vam-
pires, and monopolies Of all sorts, aud
the refusal IT, even enfste, o.. law i'll
