History records no such disastrous

pire 10 the Dark Ages. Various e1-
plantations have been given Of this

work OF society, but II was certainly
coincident with a shrinkago in the

tion 10 oppress and enslave the poor
What followodi Let history tell the
tale. The common people became
desperate. They arose and oyertuTn-
cd that government which failed 10
protect them. We are 10 far removed
from that period Of The worlds hlsto-
ry that Il is impossible TO trace a per-
feet analogy between our government
and Rome at chat time. But wo do
know taking history as our guide,
that many Of the social and political
conditions which existed in the Ro-
man Empire, at its downfall, are with
us to-day. The vast accommodations
of wealth in the hands Of tho few with
us, has not been drawn from other MAJ
tions as spoils OF conquest but Il has
been wrung from our own people un-
der a system Of abuses growing out Of
Legislation which IL simply legalized
robbery. This condition of things ha,
continued 10 grow from bad TO woree
until Il has completely destroyed chat
equality among our citizens which ID
one OF tho fundamental ideas in a gov
ernmcnt whose sovereign power rests
in the win OF It's citizens. The great
body Of people ofthe United states
understand thesp things, and henos
we find widespread disContent among
tho producing and laboring classes.
just how long this condition Of things
can exist without an open rebellion
on tho part OF tho people, of couhu
no one can tell. But II does not re.
quire the wisdom Of q Clay or q Web
stor in reading the signs Of The
times to discover the storm cloud,
Do our statesmen see thisi IL they
do why is il they do not take steps 10
avert the coming storm, Where shall
we look for tho statesman who il wor-
thy to wear the mantle ofHenry Clay
Give us a statesman whose mind and
heart is equal to grapple with thia I'M
solved problem. No greater demand
for such an one has ever existed in our
past history than az this hour, Tho
Mercury does not indulge in wild
speCulations as to the future Of our
country nor does it desire to deal IL
sensational theoriesj this article has
simply stated sad and stubborn facts.
They have been stated not for Che
purpose Of arousing Che passions of
it's readers, butrather for Che purpose
Of arousing the patriotism Of our

A Sort OF a Public Bleaslng.

the National Board Of Trade, in Louis
vile, Ky, n grand banquet was given
the members Mr.. Henry W0ttersoR
orator Of the occasion, spoke on the
General state of tho country" and is
reported M saying;
What are you going 10 do for a
banking system when there are no
more bonds TO bank onH Some ten
years ago ventured TO propose that
wa roduce tho National debt 10 n
thousand millions, and then with that
Tor 4 fiscal basis, we fund those thous-
and millions at n low rate Of interest
and make tho debt thus reduced per-
petual. Everybody laughed at mo.
Some said / was crazy: others insisted
that / was simply a fool But ! am
moro than over pursuaded OF thetruth
and force Of my suggestion. Because,
TO SAY nothing about the banks and
tho future of our banking system, we
ought 10 have some fixed securities
for small holders which can neither
lc swallowed up by deluge OF water
cd stock, nor be able to run away to
Canada"
No doubt Mr. Watterson is struck
with the brilliancy ofhis fiscal scheme
1t is not original with Mr. Watterson
however. It is many generations ago
since it was declared by alleged stOtes
men and political economists, and ac-
copied qs truth by unthinking people,
that National debt WIS q National
blessing, According 70 that theory
perpetual National debt would be a.
perpetual National blessing. No
doubt il would be a perpetual bless
ing 10 the class pcrpetually drawing
the interest, but il would prove a
perpetual curse to the class perpetu-
ally paying it. In fact, it is neither
nineteenth century, nor On Ameri-
can idea. IL belongs rather to the
longitude Of London, Berlin, and St
Petersburg than to that OF Louisville
IL is u companion piece to the "divine
right" of kings, and a privileged, he
reditary aristOcracy rather than to
the sovereignty Of citizenship and g.
quality before the law. Judged from
the standpoint Of common sense it is
on a par with the philosophy OF the
man who took his wheat to mill in one
end of q sack with a stone in the 9th
or Ond to balance il on the donkey's
back. The burden upon the people
Of carrying the $l,OO0OO0OOO bonds
proposed by Mr. WOtterson, would
be as useless and unnecessary as was
the stone in the sack to balance the
wheat The whole scheme would be
as grossly unjust in practice as it is
absurdly foolish in conception. What
arrant nonsence to propose almoston
the eve Of the twentieth century TO q
sensible practical peOpIel That in
stead Of issuing directly
through their public servants
the government, the currency,
public necessity, based upon the
public credit, National wealth, ability
honor and honesty, they must go in
debt, pay interest on bonds, then is

upon National wealth and National
law, but instead upon bonds that are
based upon National wealth and Ma
tional law. That they can not direct
ly utilize tho public credit for tho pub
Lie benefit, but must instead pay trib-
ute 10 privute corporations. 1t ia ro-
lated Of q Yankee manufacturer OF
wheel-barrows that many years ago
he sent q consignment OF those very
useful articles toa q South American
port as q trade venture. In those ear
ly days thepeople Of that section were
not much accustomed 10 labor-sGving
implements. An agent Of tho con-
signor solda few Of the b0rrows to a
local builder. Thoirst lasorer who
tried to use the Yankee dovice put
some Of the building material in the
barrow, and then instead OF wheeling
il to Che desired place, he raised the
loaded barrow upon his head and cal
ried it there. Ho thought it was quite
an invention. Mr. Watterson would
have us act similarly in our financial
matters Instead Of the people issu-
ing their own money through their
own agents, he would have them Gre
ate a bondholding class; make bank
ers ofthose bondholdersj furnish them
with curreny upon which to do n bank
ing business; then take bondholders,
bankers, bonds, and interest upon
their shoulders or heads, and carry
this burden through life. The SCUth
American laborer carrying the loaded
wheelbarrow upon his head was q
paragon Of practical sonse in compar-
isou TO the folly Of adopting such a
fiscal scheme. Mr.. Watterson must
hold a very high estimate Of the Obili-
ty of thepeople TO carry burdens, but
q very low opinion Of their intelli-
gence. He says; ave ought to have
some fixed securities for small hold
ers." Indeedl This government was
not organized to provide for para
sites Of the "small' or large speciesi
nor do the people existto furnish them
sustenance. True, Mr.. WOtterson
would limit the number of tentacles
which each parasite should have stuck
in the bodies of the producers. He
would do this by lowering the rate OF
interest on the perpetual blessing
bonds. This is very considerate in
him to be sure. The producers ore
however opposed to parasiteism,
whether on q large or small scale, and
propose to abolish parasites OF all
classes and sizes whether Of the two
tentacle or ten tentacle species. There
are already too many parasites. The
backs of millions OF workers are bent
and their bodies emaciated from feed
ing swarms Of parasites. Certainly
the people will never consent to ap-
propriato Sl,OO0OOO,OOO for the pur-
pose of propagating moro Of them to
prey upon labor and industry.--NG-

Glve UsA statesmAn

States whenever a question arose
which threatened the perpetuity OF
the government some great man was
always found whose broad ideas Of
statesuanship enabled him to fully
comprehend tho danger as well as to
devise means TO avert It. Such at
least was the case in ante-bellum
times. When Che laws enacted by
congress in 1881 were declared null
and void by a convention in South
Carolina and open resistance 10 their
enforcement was attempted, the gov
eminent had at lbs head Andrew Jack
son q man Of iron will and a brave
heart, by whose foresight, hrmness
and decision civil war was ayerted.
When the great slavery question
seemed TO have reached culminat-
ing point and sectionalism was
wrought up to blood. heat over the
question Of extending slavery to tho
territory embraced in tho great
Louisiana purchase, and the north
and south seemed ready to engage in
deadly conflict, Henry Clay, che grOOt
statesman from Kentucky, stepped in
as a mediator between the contending
sections and secured tho passage OF
the Missouri compromise and thus
averted another civil war; and when
the final conflict came and the two
sections OF our common country be-
came involved in one Of the bloodieat
conflicts Of modern times, a great
mind directed tho affairs Of the north
who at tho Cnd of four years OF car
mage and bloodshed succeeded in re-
storing the integrity OF the govern
ment. But unfortunate for the fu-
turo Of our government the close OF
the dreadful conflict marked the be-
ginning of u period in our national
history frought with more dangers
TO the perpetuity Of the government
than all others which had arisen be-
fore. When Rome had conquered
the world and tho wealth OF nations
became boarded up within It's classic
walls, her groat statesmen who had
directed her destinies through 80
many national conflicts all disappear
ed. The vast accumulation Of wealth
taken from her conquered provinces
did not become the common heritage
OF her common citizens and soldiers
through whose courage and self sac
rifce the same had been gained, but it
was pOrtioned among the noble and
wealthy This fact destroyed that
equality among the citizens oftHe Ro-
man Empire which had existed in Che
earlier and better days Of her history.
An improper use OF the vast wealth
in the hands Of a few soon converted
the great body Of her people into a
state of serfdom. While her poor
were begging for bread her money
lords rayeled in wealth and luxury.
Rome soon became anation Of lords
and serfs. Patriotism among her cit
izens aoon hacaute a lost virtue. They
