were owned or controlled by million
aires and of course run in the interest
of money-lenders.
The senior editor of the Chicago
Tribune said at a meeting of the
gregatiOnaLSt: "a shrewd newspaper
man will soon learn what the people
want and give it to them. Many
years ago when hewas a young man,
he had started a paper with a high
minded purpose; he was DESTROYS of
leading the public in the paths of
goodness and virtue. But as he
grew older, he found that such papers
were not in demand; he changed his
paper in accordance with the fnan-
cial returns. The object to sight is
the almighty dollar and the question
is, does it pay?
Q-Does not this fact account for
the Indifference carelessness and
thoughtlessness Of the people upon
political questions of the utmost i'm
portance to them.
A-No doubt, for much of it, The
people trusting their educators, their
party organs, have been deceived,
duped and misled to the very ''verge
of ruin
The present Secretary of the Treas
ury, Mr.. Window, in a letter to the
Autobiography League of New York,
said, "The capitalists have bought
and are buying largely the Associated
Press and are controlling all the
avenues of intelligence"
Since writing the above he has sold
nj ~
who bought the Associated Press
There is abundant evidence of the
fact in his administration of the
Treasury Department-he is proving
himself a very worthy successor of
Dan Manning, Mr.. Cleveland's finan-
cier from Albany
Q-What do you think is the most
contemplate thing in existence?
"A party organ-grinder. Aman
so dead to all manliness and self-re-
spect, that he will swear, lie, cheat
and steal for his party-who in con-
sideration of a promise of place
that will pay, or SO much cash down,
sells himself and his little weekly sheet
to corruption, to revel in rottenness
like maggot, till a higher bidder
than Morton comes.
Q-What can be done as remedy
when the disease has grown so des
perate? Every partizan accepts the
Statements of his party organ, with
more confidence than he does the
sayings of "Holy Writ"
Al can only reply now, by saying,
May God have mercy on their poor,
lean and hungry souls, if they have
any.
Q-Why is it that Press generally
has little, rather nothing to say upon
the National Banking Systematic
money policy of the Government?
A-The question is not difficult to
answer in the light of the following
circular, issued by James Buell., Sec
rotary of the Bankers Association.
Here it is as reported, read it and
wonder no more at the poor dumb
mouths of the newspapers, and thank
God for the man who dares the peo-
pies rights maintain, "unawed by
influence and unbribed by gain
CIRCULAR.
Dear Sir: 1t is advisable to do all
in your power to sustain such daily
and prominent weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and religi-
Gus press, as will oppose the issuing
ofgreenback paper money, and that
you withhold patronage or favOrs
from all applicants who are not will
ing to oppose the government issue
of money. Let thegovernment issue
the coin, and the banks issue the pa
per money of the country, for then
we can better protect each other. To
repeal the law creating National
Banks. or restore to circulation the
government issue of money, will be
provide the people with money and
will therefore seriously affect your
individual profits as banker and
lender. See your member of Congress
at once, and engage him to support
our interest, that we may control
legislation.
Signed by the secretary,
JAMES BUELL..
Dwell, chat beats the devil
don't it?
Ann inclined to think you are
correct, it would put him to a mighty
grunt and dangerous strain to match
Q-Why is it that capitalists and
their political co-adjutors are SO sen
sitive-so studiously silent on the
money question?
A-When Paul's preaching at Ephe-
sas endangered the Temple of Diana,
one Demetrius, leader of the oppo-
sition who ''made silver shrines fol
DIANA" called together the Crafts
men, with the workmen of like &C
cupation" and said to them ''Sirs, ye
know that by this craft we have our
wealth."
The present money policy of the
| government, is the craft by which
bankers and politicians, are making
millions out of the sweat of othel
mems faces, and they will never will
ingly consent to a discression, which
is likely to open the eyes of the PEG
pie to the true inwardness of. the in
fernal conspiracy.
