Internal class laws! Accursed in
JUSTICE! Creating kid-gloved aristo-
Gratis on one hand, horny-handed
and stoop shouldered, ragged, ignor.
ant, stupid, brutal slaves on the
other hand.
We will repeal those laws we will
break the bond chain; we will free
children from the curse of the U. S.
Republican ca Congress! We will
do it, or we'll die in the attempt.
Voters, how will you vote?
1t is not the coffee, sugar, barb
wire, oil or jute, upon which a trust is
formed; neither is it the administra-
ton, whether one party or another
but, it is vicious legislation and
nefarious laws which are to-day blast
ing the hopes of the nation. The
money trust controls the currency.
The laws are framed in the interest
OF capital, and capital sees to it that
the law makers are in with their plans.
The tariff policy of our government
Is not fOrrevenue alone, but to labor's
expense.-Kansas PATRON.
Todd Co. Argus: A.
Every recently a United States
Judge invaded a sovereign state,
accompanied by an assassin, who
murdered citizen of that state.
The supreme court stepped in and
rescued the assassin declaring that
in such cases the law of the state
against murder was of no avail"
The above emanated from the ALI
ance committee which called the
state convention and refers to the
affair in California when the rufian
Terry attempted to kill Judge Field,
but was shot by Marshal Nagel be-
lore he had time to do so. Terry
was red-handed murderer and had
openly threatened Fields life because
OF ruling the latter had made, and
the marshal was sent along to pro-
tect him with the above result.
What particular grievance the Ali
ance can have in this matter is not
easily discerned. 1t sounds like rot
OF the rOttenest sort.
We thoroughly agree with the Ar
gus on this point. 1t was one of La
throp's slop-overs.
The following item from the Amer
lean Banker OF the 2Sth ult., illus
trates the total unreliability OF Unit
ed States Treasury figures as to the
amount of money in the county:
''To determine more exactly the
amount of gold held in the country
the Treasury department some time
ago sent out inquiries to private and
State banks as to the size OF their
stocks OF the metal. Some 6,993, or
all but about TAI of these banks,
have been heard from, and report a
total amount of about 1874, 100000
OF gold in their possession. There is
$3l3 ,667 ,S95 of gold coin and bull
ION IN the government treasury and
$71 $40, 467 in the national banks,
making a total altogether of $419,-
O'O,ooS' oOO UllC UIcGtSuIy ucpdIU-
ment has estimated the total supply,
on the basis of the mint records, at
1868, 265, 900, and thus there is
$3.50, 57S,63S to be otherwise &C
counted for. This cannot be in circu-
lation, unless on the Pacific coast, be-
cause gold is seldom seen in circula-
ton, and must, therefore, be boarded
in the hooks and crannies OF dwell
ings or pom existant in the United
States. In the latter case it must
either have been taken away by
Americans travelling abroad, or ex-
ported without being recorded at the
custOm-hOuses."
Economist:
Just at the time when every dollar
in the country is needed to move the
wool and small grain, the Secretary
of the Treasury reduces the amount
in circulation 81, 121, 715. This will
reduce the price OF the farm products,
and enable the manufacturer to pur-
chase his supplies at a low rate.
What benefit is ten cent duty on
