WEAVER'S CHARGES.
Millions of Dollars Missing from the
United States Treasury.

Millions of Dollars Missing from the
United States Treasury.
When the Republicans went out of
power in Washington the Democratic
journals and politicians all over the
country raised great shout of " Count
the money!" They pretended to be-
lieve that millions would be found
missing from the Treasury. The
money was counted, and every cent
was found in the Treasury. But if the
money should be counted now, after
only three years of Democratic Admin
istration, the money would not be
found in the Treasury. Millions would
be found missing from the Treasury.
1t is not in the Treasury. Where is it?
According to Congressman Weaver.
Greenbacker and Democrat, of Iowa,
the Administration, frightened by the
piling up of the surplus idle and out
of the channels of business, undertook
to put the idle money into circu-
lation by making certain favored
banks a free present of its use, and so
has loaned out to these favored banks.
without interest. and nobody knows
on what security, millions on mil
lions of the peoples money. And
now if the Government should sud-
denly want this money, and call it
in. the result would probably be a ter
rible financial panic and crash The
favored banks to whom the use of this
money has been given, MIR. Weaver
saws, have been used to boom the price
of United States bonds so that, if the
Government now wants to pay off the
bonds. it will have to pay twenty-five
per cent premium to these same
banks, in whose power the Admins
tration has placed the Government.
Worse; if the Government was going
to give the use of the public money,
which ought to be in the Treasury,
to any banks. it ought to divide equally
with all. If it is going to let the banks
have the use OF the peoples money. it
ought to let every body have the same
chance on the same terms The peo-
pie are being taxed one hundred mill
ion a year simply to give certain
favored banks the use without interest
of the money thus wrought from the
taxpayers. Now. there are accusa-
tons made by Democrat and Green
hacker against the Democratic Admin
istration. No Democratic Congress
man dared to dispute the facts What
do the people think of them?-Lan-

VOICES OF THE FUTURE.

The voices OF the past are ever sounding,
And give their impulse to our present life,
In wisdom OF the ages deep Astounding,
To cheer or warn amid our daily strife.
In times of joy they come to US with blessing.
To breathe their peace when all is bright and
fair.
In hours Of grief they blend with thoughts de-
pressing,
And bring us aid our burdens weight 10 bear.
The voices OF the future, too, are calling.
Though few may listen to their faint appeal,
Ali unobserved their accents gently falling
Reverberate with coming woe or veal.
Whene'er we strive and conquer, their ap
plauding,
Is gently borne as with an angels breath,
But when we falter coming time defrauding,
They whisper coldly as with chill Of death
Whatever wrong the present age IS bearing.
With prospect dim that it will be redressed,
That very wrong If borne without despairing.
May through our patience make the future
blest.
