"Pcacc Hath Her Victories No Less Re-

Eight millions Of farmers are striving
to produce from mother earth the means
by which all other living beings must be
fed and clothed How well they have
performed their duty, let the bursting
granarles, and the oyer-tasked lines OF
transportation answer.
How well they are rewarded for this
faithful performance Of their part, let the

brigandage, robs first the producer Of the

abled to reap untold wealth, every dollar
Of which adds to It's power to oppress,
and all the time this worse than highway
robbery, this pirate on the high seas Of
business, wears the plume of government
sanction under the assumption that
II Is ''the business Of the country" and
orders his political tools to proclaim,
that 1t is q "private affair" and must
not be interfered swith by legislative
enactments. Organized monopoly In all
its various forms has but one central
head, and every branch Is dependent on
the central power for its existence.
That central head is the great money
"trust" not only Of Wall street N,Y.or
Beacon street Boston, but Of London, vi
emma, Berlin, and all the world as we'll.
Governmental lines cut no figure in this
great trust, except TO furnish the cam

BY system Of infamous Legislation in

per bushel, It would require train OF cars
reaching almost six times around the
earth.
From financial standpoint we could
better afford to sustain an army Of 100000
mon than to pay the annual Tribute to
this sitting army" that holds the evil
denccs Of our indebtedness.
II requires no prophetic vision to antic-
ipate the future condition Of our people
II they are not aided in some way to lit
this incubus from the industries OF the
country.
SO much has been said Of the abuses OF
commerce or trade, Of the numerous
trusts which threaten to undermine and
overthrow our whole commercial system,
which hitherto was supposed to rest upon
solid foundation, and bo controlled by
healthy competition, that II would only
be monotonous repetition ofan old story
TO discuss II here.
The other factor, transportation, Is OF
hardly less importance than the money
question.
The immense fortunes which men who
control this means Of distribution have
been enabled to accumulate in tho short
space Of half life time, is one Of the best
evidences that this agency has been per
verted from the public good, by taxing
production to an extent that must inevita-
bly, lead to industrial slavery.
In the light of the facts at hand, and
easily obtainable, II would seem unneces-
sary, for the purposes Of this article, to
undertake to show that the hundreds OF
millions Of dollars annually eXacted from
the products Of the country to make up
dividends on stocks that represent no
value whatever, and bonds which, to q
great extent, represent fictitious value,
Of princely salaries and extrayagant ex-
pendimre, Is useless burden on society
that threatens every phase Of our national
life, and bodies no good to our national
prosperity.
These two agents which form the prin-
cipal factors in our distributive system,
and which ought to be made the servants
Of the people, but which under the pres
ent condition are their masters, are the
most important elements that contribute
TO our national greatness.
Being so closely related to the interests
Of the people, so intimately connected
with their welfare and interviewer with
their enterprises, 1t is source Of wonder
that anyone can be found who will con-
tend from a logical standpoint that they
should not be controlled by the people,
that Is TO say, by the government.
Ifthcse agents were properly controll-
ed SO as to be the bepehcent servants of
commerce instead Of It's MASTER the pro-
ducer would receive q just reward for his
labor.
This would enable tho farmer to buy
more Of the products Of the artisan and
Che manufacturer, and they in turn, could
buy more Of the products Of the farm.
The millions Of dollars of wealth that
goes to make up the aggregate Of vast
accommodations Of capital would remain in
the hands Of the producers, or accrue to
the benefit Of the consumer, and demand

But with all our poverty, with all our

In support Of my assertion that we are
the victims of the money power of the
world beg leave TO quote from the
speech Of Senator Stewart in the Senate
Of the United States on May 1st 1888.
Said he: ave have boundless resources
but 10 money. We have lower prices
for wheat and cotton than have prevailed
for one hundred years. We have built
up colossal fortunes by the enhancement
of bonds. Our rich men are as Opulent
as any on earth, while our farmers, me-
chanics; and laborers have lost their
thrift and independence.
He president Cleveland) is giving to
these people who bought bonds, at 80
cents on the dollar, and have received, in
interest 1870 cents on the dollar, not only
the principal, but $4,000 on the hundred

originally payable in lawful money, but
afterwards made payable by Legislation in
coin, and then by the demonetlzatlon of
silver made payable in gold.

contrary he has exerted every power con-
ferred on him by Qniamous) legislation

fer enormous privileges on a favored
class Of money changers
No class Of men on earth ever possess
such privileges before. To-day the Ma
tlonal banks are using over SO0,0OO,OOO Of

lates in bonds, putting up the premium,

want to avoid saying anything un-,
kind Of Mts administration. IL Is only
following in the footsteps Of Republican
administrations. II has been the policy
Of the gold contraction party, the bond
absorption party, the grand money trust
Of this country which dominates both
political parties, to contract money, to en-
rich the bondholders, and impoveTish the
people. II has been the policy OF tho
administration whether Republican or
Democratic from the beginning.
The time will come when the voice OF
the people will be heard, and somebody
except an agent Of an ovcrgrown monop-
oily will be In the Treasury Department,
to act for the interest Of the people Of tho
United States, and not to do the bidding
Of Great Britiant to destroy 0ttr prosperity,
to ruin our products, to depreciate every
thing produced here to increase the
wealth Of bondholders in England, and
bondholders in the United States and to
augment the wealth Of England's posses
sIons and break down our own. The
time o0iB come, when, do not know, but
the time will come when we shall have
an American policy, that we shall have
somebody at the head Of affairs who will
hear the voice Of all the people.
Presidential vetoes and Federal pat
ronage sti6e the voice Of the people.
The "BIand act" triumphed over veto
but It has been robbed Of nearly all It's
virtue by the refusal Of the Treasury De-
partmentto to execute It fairly. We have
agents sent to Europe TO inquire what
the bondholders there want, and they
bring arguments from them for American
consumption"
This speech was made in the interest OF
free coinage Of silver and the enlarge
ment Of the basis Of a circulating medi-
um for the transaction of business. This
was nearly two years ago. Free coinage
at that time might have averted, to some
extent the present distress and ruin.
But free coinage will not now avert
financial disaster to all debtors, from the
fact the machine 10 SO well arranged that
a turn or two Of the screw will take away
all the benefits Of free coinage to all labor
ers, except possibly those engaged d.
reCtly in mining. 1t is very generally
acknowledged that more money will be
necessary in conducting the business Of
the country than can be had even with
free coinage of gold and silver This
is virtually acknowledged by the fact
that a bill has been introduced by
trusted agent of the money power to al
low bonds Of almost all descriptions to be
deposited by National banks as security
for their circulation. This leads to the

PENDLETON'S REMAINS ABOARD

Charges Against Commander
McCalla.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
New York, February 27.-The United
States steamer Enterprise, from the
European station, arrived this afternoon,
bringing the body of George Fl. Pendle-
ton, late United States Minister at
Berlin.
On board are two of her officers who
were brought over under arrest
to be tried by court-martial. They
are Chief Engineer Entwistls and
Ensign Kline. The Chief Engineer is
accused of impudence to the Commander,
and the Ensign is accused of sleeping at
his post. Her Commander, McCalla, is
very strict disciplinarian. It is said
among naval officials that he is over
bearing and tyrannical, and on very
slight provocation his anger is aroused.
However this may be, it is q fact that
much disorder and discomfort has been
manifested in the vessels last trip.
Over sixty of the crew deserted at the
various ports at which she touched on
the European station.

Associated Press Dispatches to THE HERALD.
WASHINGTON, February 27.-The Dolph
investigating committee today continued
its inquiry into the methods by which
the proceedings of the executive sessions
of the Senate become public. Several
newspaper men testified that they had
written reports of the proceedings of cer-
tain executive sessions, but when asked
to give the sources of their information
declined to do so, on the ground that it
would be gross betrayal of confidence.
One of them stated that in all his expert
ence he had never known an instance
where the proceedings in executive ses-
sion had been divulgsd by an employee
of the Senate, or where a newspaper
man asked an employee for such inform
alton. Under the new rule, which
went into effect today, when the
Senate went into executive session,
the press lobby, in which are located
the Capitol offices of the Associated
Press and the United Press, as we'll as
all the committee rooms in the gallery
of the floor, were cleared and strict watch
kept over them until the Senate doors
were opensd again. This disarranged
all press business on the Senate side for
some time. The doorkeepers were also
required to move their chairs and per-
sons further away from the holy of
holies. What the Senate expects to &C.
complish by this is not clear. The re-
porters generally are not dull of hearing,
but it was never charged that they could
hear through four feet of solid wall, or
two heavy doors.

Bishop Esher,s Trouble.

SHAMoKIN, February 27.-The Eastern
Pennsylvania Evangelical Conference
was opened this morning by Bishop J.
J. Esher, of Chicago. Charges were
preferred against Bishop Esher by four
elders. March 10Th was fixed for his
trial. Bishop Esher was then requested
to vacate the chair, but declined, stating
that he had been obligated to occupy the
chair, and his duty would not permit
him to vacate.
The charges against Bishop Esher are
First, slander and evil speaking; second
falsehood; third, creating dissensions in
the church.
The charges are the same that were
preferred against Bishop Esher in Chi
cago. An investigation last December
resulted in his acquittal. The Bishop
today refused 70 offer any explanation to
the charges, claiming that he had been
tried and acquitted. After his refusal to
vacate the chair, resolution was pre-
sented by Rev. DR.. Hanna, declaring
that Bishop Esher was an improper per-
son to preside over the conference, but
the Bishop would not recognize the mo-
ton for it's adoption. Adjourned until
tomorrow.
