The government furnishes thCWcal-
thy who will agree to enter into the
banking business with money at the
rate of one per cent per annum. 1t IL
thus seen Jhat bankers are a specially
favored class The Alliance must
ask that these iavors be granted to all
and that any man who can give good
security for 500 or 81, 600 be allowed
the privilege now accorded only to the
banker.
Equality Of opportunity, upon
which the welfare OF a people depends
can only be secured when the means
Of exchange (money) is readily Gcces
siblc to all, and while there are other
evils which aflliet the body polite, yet
tho power Ntpresent possessed by the
money trust for OWL 30 far excels all
others that other questions must re-.
main in abeyance until this the groOt-
est obstacle is removed.
ONE OF THE GREATEST OBJECTS OF THE
ALLIANCE must be TO secure tho GbO
| lition of tho money trust.
What may be expected when this
has been effected is set forth by the
! u. s. Monetary Commission, upor
| page 40 Of their report, as follows;
Whenever itbccomos apparent tha
prices are rising and money falling
! in value in consequence Of an incrons'
OF its volume, the greatest activit!
takes place in exchanges and produc
tive enterprises Every one becomes
anxious to share in the advantages o.
rising markets. The inducement t.
hoard money is taken away, and con
sequently the disposition to hoard i
ceases. It's circulation becomes OK
cc4dingly active, .and for the very
plain renson that there could be no mo
tive for holding or boarding money
when it is falling in value, whlls
there would be the strongest possible
motive for changing il for property
or for the labor which creates prop
erty, when prices are rising. Unde'
these circumstances labor comes int
great demand and at remunerativO
wages. This results in not only in
creased production, but increased
consumption. The wants and expen
ditures Of laborers increase with thei
earnings"

Democrats InsuIted by a Prayer.

ALBANY, Feb. Sat the opening
of the Senate to-day Rev. S. V.
Lsech, of Saratoga, prayed that the
State might be delivered from the
attacks and the influence of the liq
uor interest, both in the legislative
and the executive chambers, that the
Sabbath might be held sacred, that
reform in the ballot should be insti-
tuted so that the poor might have no
temptations to sell their votes and
that the horde of immigrants holding
the balance of power in the cities
might be stopped. There was moth
ing in the prayer that would not be
endorsed by any order-loving citi-
zen, but Senator Grady and Murphy
felt that the Democratic party had
been attacked and they denounced
the prayer as an insult to that party
and to the people.

GEN. CdMERON'S CONDITION.
Growing Worse Hourly But May Live
 Through tho Night.

LANCASTER, Pa., June 26-The widely varying reports concerning the condi- tion of Gen Simon Cameron-one that he was dead, which was immediately contradicted, and another that he was dying-led reporter to make trip of investigation to Donegal to ascertain the generals true condition.
 The reports that he was sinking rapidly came from such seemingly good author ity that the reporter expected to find the general dead when he got there, but he was not.
 The report of his death was caused by spell of weakness, during which the tide of life ebbed low, but at the ond of half an hour he rallied, to the surprise of the family, who had gathered about his bed expecting that the end was at hand. He recognized all about him, as was evil dent from the brtghtening of his eyes when he was addressed.
 The report that he was dying was caused by another sinking spell, and those about him thought life was about departing, but in the course of an hour he rallied and seemed brighter than usual He Is evidently conscious of all that is going on around him, and nodded in recognition of friend who approached his bed. He is growing worse hourly, but will probably live through several hours,

SIX OF THEM DROWNED
A Pleasure Party'S Sad Ending on the
 Hudson River.
NO TIME GIVEN FOI, AID.
Or tho Parties Now Dead. Four Were Girls, Two Were Men-OnIy One or Fll0 Life.

TROY, June 26.-A fat al accident oc- cured late last evening on the Hudson river involving the death by drowning of four young girls and two young men.
 Apleasure party of young people had embarked on sail boat and were in the middle of the stream when the boat was run down by a tug.
 The boat was swamped and the occu- pants were thrown Into the water.
 The crew of the tug did all they could to rescue the struggling people and sue ceeded in getting one of the young men on board with great dit1ic ulty.
 The bodies of the rest of the party have not yet been recovered.
 The boating party consisted of John Mattimore, son of the late Thomas Matti more, the coal dealer; Edward and Joseph Cody, Maud and Maggie Horner, and two other young ladies, cousins of the Horner girls from Hudson, N. Y.
 They were rowing on tho river oppo- site the knickerbocker icehouses at Bath and were run down by the tug Evange- line and ther boat upset at 9.3O o'clock last night.
 Before assistance could reach them all were drowned except Joseph Cody, who escaped, but was almost completely eX- hausted by his efforts to save his com panions.
 Much sympathy is felt for the parents and relatives of the parties drowned, as especially for the parents of the two viS- iting girls, who as yet know nothing of the awful calamity.

 PARIS, June 26.-The government is of opinion that the sentences imposed at Angouleme upon NM.

sHOVELLED THE MONEY OUT.
Masked Robbers Awe . Bank Cashier
 and Get Away With $2O,75O.


 DENVER, June 26.-A daring robbery has been been committed in Telluride. While the cashier of the San Miguel Val ley bank, c. F. Painter, was =alene in his private office counting up the days busi- ness three masked men entered with re- volvers in their hands. The leader at once demanded that all the cash be turned over to them.
 Being alone and unarmed, the fright ened cashier allowed one of the gang to enter behind the counter and, with the aid of a toy shovel, fill his bag with all ill sight. Having secured the money, the party made their way to the street, where they remounted their horses and departed for the mountains.
 An alarm was at once given. It was found that the robbers had taken S2O, 750. A telegram received here late yesterday afternoon says the robbers are between Trout lakes and the big bend of the Dol ores river. Posses are in hot pursuit.
