We trust no one will let even q
shadow OF Lathrop's defaulting rest
upon Treasurer Bjorge:. No man

responsible person than Mr.. B. He
is far above reproach, and yet we do
think he should have demanded his
settlements.

time Of % per cent premium! Every
National Bank In the country is
trembling over the approaching ex-
tinction, and trying to get geld and
silver into their clutches as a basis
Tor their money issuesl They do
not like to see q single bond de-
stroyed, when it represents not only
Q or 3 per cent. on it's face, but q gift
OF $4,000 on every 100000 to
loan at from 8 to 60 per cent q year
for their own benefit-secured by the
nation.
2d.-WhO ever said that money
was scarce with the eastern capital
ist! No one ever dreamed of such a
condition. $4,000 capitalists own
$3l ,OOO,OOO,OOO of TIE nations
wealth. If money were scarce in the
vaults every dollar in the nation
could he taken by a banker, put in
to securities, sent to Washington
and duplicated in National Bank
Currency-ready to shove over the
counter. Then the banker would
get interest on the securities, and in
terest on the duplicate dollar given
him by a sleepy-headed republic. No,
money is plenty in the eastern banks.
But there is no money in circula ton.
1t takes 20 per cent every year Zone
fifth OF the total circulation) to pay
the interest on money in circulation
-on every dollar OF it! This goes
into the bank again-and again
and again-until the banks are cry
ing for market.
Why don't interest drop? It has
to some extent; not more, because
the methods of banking, OF debt
bonding, keeps up enormous lex
change profits on money.
But gentlemen, prepare for a
crash!
No such condition was ever known
or heard OF before. The mighty egg
shell of bond expansion is startling
the world. Even Wall Street is stag
gered, and hal-yielded on the silver
bill. New York and London Finan-
cial journals begin to talk of the
clearing house system, and it's
availability. They are creating an
International clearing house, as an
experiment. for protection. The
world is between the "Devil

sion were squelched by granger legis-
lation and twelve thousand times a
thousand times a thousand dollars
Of blood-money annually. be shorn
from the bond-frauds, the vast en-
ginery OF poverty would crush like
mighty shetland the world would
hear the echoes of the explosion for a
hundred years.
1t is question of continuous rob-
oery or horrible plunge into an un-
known abyss. Our advice to farm
rs is to keep some cash in their
stocking the awful expansion of
which we have spoken, and which
Erwin corroborated, is a reality
growing larger and thinner every
hour!

Which ever discord raises
With sweetest harmony.

TO such can never be.
But when these harsh sounds vanish
From out the soul and ear.

Sentinel:
We have never in our experience
witnessed a more foul exhibition of
ingratitude and tire lchery than that
OF John Lathrop toward Ignatius
Donnelly, in the farmers alliance
movement. Up to last March, when
Mr.. Donnelly unfortunately dug him
out of his pauper obscurity on his
mortgaged farm. Lathrop was as
undiscovered as the North pole. Mr..
Donnelly brought him to the surface
and made him secretary of the state
alliance. He was no sooner secure
in his seat than he commenced a
campaign of treachery against the
man who had given him the only
public prominence he has ever at
tanned. He allowed himself at the
outset, in his egotistic weakness. to
be fattered, toasted and fooled by
the enemies of Donnelly. and, while
continually protesting friendship for
his patron, he studied and worked in
every way possible to advance the
interests of Mr.. Donnelly's enemies
and give them control of the alliance.
In a measure he has succeeded in
his baseness. The little men who
have made tool OF Lathrop are now
recognized as leaders of the alliance
while Lathrop himself, in his Judas
like treachery, drags out his misera-
BILE term as g base and industrious as
the smoky light that's fed with
sinking tallOw."

Omcc OF the province OF PennSyl-
vania, their successors and assigns,
q certain tract Of land in the town
ship and county aforesaid, contain
ing two hundred and three acres
AS has been explained in The
Economist, these loans were made
as demand for the money arose, by
act OF the assembly issuing authority
to the trustees named, and ordering
the emission of a specified sum in
bills OF credit. These separate acts
seem to have been virtually charter
ing homestead associations with au-
thOrity to advance one half the value
OF the estate, not to exceed 5000 to
one person. The money was legal
tender for private debts and taxes,
and was created by the act of char
ter. The interest is said by DR..
Adam Smith to have gone a con-
slderably way toward defraying the
expense of the colony. Under this
system there was no need for hoard
ing by the Government, and the
money did not first have to be taken
from the people, as assumed by the
correspondent. The credit, and not
the money OF the colony, was the
basis OF the issue, and the operation
had the benefcent effect of lessening
taxation just in proportion as It
was profitable to the Government.
The more money out the less taxa
ton. The correspondent tells of the
payments, confirming Gov. Pow
Nails description, written some years
before:
1.-The language that follows is sim
liar to the descriptive part of ordin-
airy deeds except that portion which
provides for thepayment of principal
and interest in fifteen annual pay
ments on the first day OF September
in each year. The first of these paw
ments was fixed 922 los Sd. The
second was &22 los Cd, thus dimin-
lshing until the last payment was
el3 lis Sd. The last payment was
for September 1, 1890. The basis
on which the payments were deter
mined was an annual reduction of
the debt by the payment of 913 IS of
the principal and interest for the cur
rent year.
The testimony of history is that
the people of the American conlonies
prospered as never other people pros
pered in the history of mankind. 1t
is possible, with a proper system of
financial reform, for the people of
this country to exceed their poster
ity just in proportion as labor has
been made more effective by later in
ventions. 1t is right to demand that
the means adopted two centuries
ago to promote PROSPERITY be imi-
tated now. They key to the whole
is now, as it was then,
money direct to the people. the tax
which now goes to usury to be paid
to support the government.
Though this system of loans was in
force from 1923 till the revolution,
not one cent OF metal money was is
sued under it. All the money used
was created by the acts emitting it.

paper published in Topeka, Kansas,

on the private character of our
honOred fellow citizen and beloved
brother, L. L. Polk, President of the

apparent that the enemies of our or

Washington a body of men known to
the Alliance as the Bureau of Slander,

tits very difficult, and an unpleas-
ant task for one who belongs rather
ito the great body of laborers rather
than to the farmers, to criticse this
resolution. But we doubt if the
Alliance should not wait it's official
action until the matter comes before
the state body. The question has
been discussed before, and it has
proven a very dangerous experiment.
Not but that workmen in general are
organized, and radically so-but
there are the thousands who are op-
posed to our agricultural demands
and are deeply engaged in politics.

possible to enforce the constitution
perhaps it would be better to open
wider the doors. The National F.

Watered Stock.


EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The following item l clip from the
daily papers:
George L. Thompson, the post
master at Warren, Wyo., has been
requested to resign by Postmaster
General Wanamaker. 1t is said that
Thompson bas been charging five
cents each for two-cent stamps, tell
ing the patrons that the high rates
on freight caused the advance.
This is a pretty good illustration
OF the watered-stock business. Ii this
worthy man could only have formed
a Ring, and obtain cinch on all the
postage stamps in Wyoming, he
would have become the Jim Hill of
that Regional blooming millionaire
and could have dictated the nomina-
tions Of the old parties of Wyoming
and have even reached into the
Farmers Alliance and dictated their
actions. This shows the difference
between stealing three cents and clap
ping a mortgage on a whole COM
munity for $4,000 a mile of wa
tered stock. D.

ticket and strike the gang who are

But, gentlemen, would it make no
difference if your attitude struck
the alliance party out of existence.
No party can enter into being with
our aid by practicing the deepest and
dirtiest frauds under the guidance of
your enemies.
We feel that our proofs are posi-
tive that the alliance party is de-
being led to destruction.
The chief end was accomplished in
striking down the radical element at
the convention. The rest of the work
is to keep up the traitor element SO
that there is no resurrection at the
