Who Shall Issue The Money.

It is an admitted fact that there is
not enough gold and silver in the
world to serve tho purpose OF money
and that paper currency Is as abso-
lutely necessary as metallic. The
question, in nutshell, is, "Who
shall issue the paper?"
II paper circulation is money, why
should it not, like gold and silver
coin, be issued wholly by the gov
eminent?
Il it is not money, but simply a
substitute, what power has Congress
to authorize banks to issue substi-
tute for thing, when the constitu-
ton denies them the right to issue
the real?
Does not the exclusive power to
issue the real, carry with it the ex-
elusive power to issue the substi-
tute?
It is claimed that the national
banks do not issue their own cur
rency but that it is issued by the
government, in such quantities as
may be ordered by the bond holders
where Is the justice or equity In al
lowing one class Of investors to con-
troll the volume Of currency to en-
nance their private interest without
regard to the interest OF all -
classes? o.nel
IL it is i",-
= --..pul1tic to allow congress.
, ~ control the volume OF paper mon.
ey, why allow 1t to control the vol
ume of silver money?
II gold and silver are the rea
money, and their quantity is so nlea
ger that a paper substitute must b.
resorted to, why limit or suspend thu
coinage of silver, while the issue o
bank paper is unlimited by law?

It has inst been pumped into our

Of the boys attempted to get q little

water. vinegar, aqua fortis, ginseng,
snakc-roct, mashed potato bugs and
distilled insanity. Everybody who
partook Of the liquid nightmare had
jim jams before he could find = dry

story is that the vendor OF that Gus.

Democracy, who have stood 30 10y
ally by him during all the years
OF the past. When he returned
to his home i'm Indianapolis last Sat
urday his neighbors turned cut with
two brass bands to serenade him.
In response to Il heat little address
OF welcome delivered by Judge
Buskirk, the vice president said,
among other things, that he had
stayed in Washington six weeks
longer than the official duties de-
handed for the purpose OF helping
his friends to secure positions under
the government, to which they were
rightfully entitled, and for this he
had been severely criticised because
It was thought unbecoming in . vice
president to take such action. In
defense OF himself in this particular,
Mr.. Hendricks said he wanted to
make a return to the people OF In
indiana for what they had done for
him, and for this reason he had dOno
and still intended to do what he
could to get his democratic friends
into Office. He wanted to know II
there was any Office so high that he
who was honored by being placed
in 1t should not help those who had
thus honored him. II he made any
mistakes In the way Of helping his
friends it would be in The way OF
carnestness. This statement Of the
vice president is reported to have
created great enthusiasm among the
Indianapolis Democrats. Passing
on to the subject Of changes in Office
Mr.. Hendricks said that it was a pa
triotic sentiment that demanded the
removal OF Republican office-holders.
The Democrats were beaten twenty
five years ago and they gave up the
Offices now they had won and should
have them back and when another
party came into power they would
surrender them again without an
indecent effort to hold on when they
were not wanted. There was tingc

Selling Our Children into Bondage,

Many OF our city officials and those
OF other cities in the United States
call themselves democrats and are
always ready to lift their hats at the
name Of Thomas Jefferson, yet il we
can judge from their works, they re-
pudiate his most sacred principles.
Their chief business on earth, rs we'll
as that OF republican officials, is to
sell the next generation into slavery
to money loaners. Thomas Jeffer-
son saw this same disposition in his
day, and did not hesitate to point it
out and brand it. He said:
mo generation can contract debts
greater than may be paid during the
period ofits own existence: therefore,
neither the representatives Of q ma
ton, nor the whole nation itself as
sembled, can validity engage debts
beyond what they can pay in their
own time"
He said the lifetime Of one gener-
alton OF voters was only - years,
and IL We sell bonds and do not pay
them within nineteen years, we sell a
part OF the labor Of the next genera
ton, and if We have u right to sell Il
part, we have right to sell it all;
and il we have q right to sell It all,
then we have u right to sell our sue
cessors into slavery. He repudiated
that right, saying, each generation
owns its own labor and the fruit oil
the earth, and we can in no way dis
pose of it. He branded as monstrOus
the idea that the father or the gov
eminent could contract the child's
labor to usurers. Turning our backs
upon Jefferson. and upon every sa.
cred right o! postcrity, We auction
our children off. then for fear they
will question our right to their la.
Dor and refuse to honor the bonds
we issue, our schools and monopo-
listic press teach them that "honor'
requires them to endorse the sale
and acknowledge the bond. The
Declaration Of Independence should
guarantee to them liberty and thu
pursuit Of their own happiness. /
guarantees nothing under old part,
rule but bonds, usury and a refined
slavery; but better day is coming

day bequeath to every American cit
izen freedom from the CALLING yoke
