MILLIONAIREs AND TOILERs.
Chicago Express

Chicago Express.
Forty years ago there was not a mil
lionaire in the United States. Twenty
years ago there were three or four only.
Now there are at least a thousand, and
a fortune of million is not considered
anything remarkable. The hundred
millionaire takes the place Of the mil
lionaire of twenty years ago. There
are already two individuals and twenty
corporations that can count their wealth
up to a hundred millions. The next
step will be the billionaire.
Thetstatistics of poverty, on the 9TH
er hand, cannot be reached accurately.
But observation would teach us that
there is now larger proportion OF in
dustrious people wholly dependent up
on daily labor for daily bread-With
whom to-day's sickness or loss OF work
means to-morrow's privation-than
ever before. The problem OF living
bears harder and heavier upon the
working people. A feeling of depen-
dence has dispirited them, and they live
almost constantly in the shadow OF anx-
iety. A bright countenance. is the ex-
ception among them. The face OF the
typical Workingman is anxious, care
worn, toilworn and troubled.
A comparison of these extremes OF
aff1uence and poverty, of splendor and
misery, must lead the earnest thinker to
see that there is something fatally
wrong in a system which oppresses
those who work, and rewards SO muni--
ficently those who only scheme and
mana 90 '

house on fire and wants. help to put it

Interrogation Points.

chicago Express.
It is an admitted fact that there is not
enough gold and silver in the world to
serve the purpose of money, and that
paper currency @ as absolutely ne
cessary as metallic. The question, in a
nutshell, is, "Who shall issue the
paper 2"
II the paper circulation is money, why
should it not, like gold and silver coin,
be issued wholly by the government
If it is not money, but simply substi-
tute, what power has congress to au-
thorize banks to issue a substitute for a
thing, when the constitution denies
them the right to issue the real :
Does not the exclusive power to issue
the real carry with it the exclusive pow
er to issue the substitute?
If it is claimed that the, national
banks do not issue their own currency,
but that it is issued by the government in
such quantities as may be ordered by
the banks, where is the justice or equity
in allowing one class of investors to
control the volume of currency to en-
hance their private interests, without
regard to the interests of all other
classes ?
If it is impolitic to allow congress to
control the volume of paper money.
why allow it to control the volume OF
silver money
II gold and silver are real money, and
their quantity is so meagre that a paper
substitute must be resorted to, why
limit the coinage of silver, while the is
sue of bank paper is unlimited

How Tom Scott bought his way
New York Sun.

=
He went straight to his object by the
readiest way that offered. When he
had to deal with the commonwealth he
regarded nothing but the end in view !;
and he calculated the value of a legisla..
ture as be would calculate the value of
coal bank. What he wanted he
bought and paid for and he always
managed to retain such a connection
with the ruling politicians of both par
ties as made it impossible for the public
rights to be honestly maintained against
any assault by the railroad company.
The history of Pennsylvania during his
ascendancy is one of recreant legIsla-
lures and consequent public robbery
and corruption almost unparalleled:
The system failed only when the chief
manager of it had himself begun to fail
physically and mentally.

form of soliditied petroleum. The So
lidifcation is effected by mixing petro-

twenty-five per cent of the purified
juice of plants belonging to the family
Of Eaph0rbiaceG, the mixture being
subsequently, distilled again and refined

petroleum burns like tallow, and may
be used for lighting or as a lubricant.
