is SENATOR STAMFORD sINoERE3


No utterances could be clearer,
stronger or more explicit than those
used by Senator Stanford in tho Unit
cd States Senate in his argument FOR
Government loans 10 iamors at as
low rate OF interest as allowed 10 ma
tional banks. Coming from this un-
expected quarter 1t is small wonder
that men, accustomed TO contomptuous
silence, or open ridiculo whenever
thcy asS to bo put on a level with the
favored money class, question the
Senator'S sincerity and fear lost Il
must bo q cruel Jest IL seems too
good to be cruel that wo have aJ
strong an ally, and our cause so pow
erful a champion.
But il is not the first time in history
that reinforcement has come from the
ranks OF the enemy.
The strife Of today is between sys-
TENS, and m largely as possible il
should be disassociated from individ-
uals This must be a bloodleas war

gonal contest
Senator Stanford in tho aquiaition
Of his vast wealth simply took adyan-
tage Of the possibilities Of a system
which he found waiting for him. He
did not inaugurate tho system. Let

Senator stop aud ask himself If under
similar circumstances no might NOT

Senator Stanford had an only child,
a noble boy, an exception among ex-
ceptions as to character and scholar
ship. The boy died The father and
the mother then had their immense
wealth for naught, 80 far as happiness
was concerned. Since their great be-
reavement the parents have striven To
use their immense fortune in such
ways as they knew would accord with
the desires OF their lost son. For
young as the lad was, his thougbtwas

which are presented 10 the farmer.
As the republican party is the domi-
nant party in Kansas il Is only tieces-
sary 10 show that the claim Of the
Champion is not well founded, for re-
publicans are 80 we'll satisfied Of the
iniquity Of the democratic party that
there is little danger Of their rallying
to the ranks OF that party when they
cut loose from their former corrupt
associations,
The champion comedies the roality
Of the grievances Of the farmer and
that their redress would involve "a
radical change in some Of the leaders
of the party" and we are glad to note
that John j. Ingalls, is regarded as
one Of this class Of leaders.
The Champion will hardly deny
that the causes Of the present depres-
sion Of all industries, are very largely
of a Legislative character We shall
assume and attempt TO show that they
depend chiefly upon four specific acts,
and that the republican party must
shoulder It's full share Of responsible.
ty for every one Of them. These acts
are (1) the establishment Of the nation
al banking system, (2) the socalled
credit strengthening act, (3) the con-
traction Of currency, and (4) the dis
continuance Of the free coinage Of
silver.
1) While It is so freely admitted
that national bank CURRENCY Is faf su-
perior in every respect to the currency
OF the old wild cat banks, it must not
therefore be inferred that II ID the on

It's safety and convenience as a circu-
lating medium, can be said with equal
tfuth Of United States treasury notes,
and very much more as well. The
chief objection to the system IS that it
confers upon a privileged class exclu-
sive privileges Of questionable consti-
tutionalty, which privileges have been
used to control the volume Of our cir
culating medium, and thereby vastly
TO Increase the value Of the dollar.
This power thus conferred has been
one Of the instrumentalities for depre-
ciating all other values except that Of
money itselfj and thereby increasing
the obligations Of the debtor classes
We call attention to the following
features of the national banking sys-
tenn,

(4) Whatht# Of tile silver question:
The debOsement ofthis metal whereby
il has been converted into q cotftDOd-
ity subject to domestic and foreign
speculation, has had disastrous effects
upon AmoricRif lhteyosts in more ways
than one. It has seriously impaired
the interests OF American mining in
dustrios. 1t has nidod in the promo
ton OF the schemes Of bondholders to
contract tho volume Of our currency.
by opening the American silver mark
ct to speculation, II enables Great
Britain 10 purchase our silver at a

gy VI the country and pass II at its
full value, and purchase the wheat OF
that country and placeit In the Liver
pool market in competition with
American wheat at ruinous rates.
American wheat is thereby placed at
a disadvantage in competition with
that Of India to the extent Of 30 per
ce1tOf its value, and this by American
Legislation. Congress by giving 0s-
sent to this measure, deliberately
provides for the robbery Of American
farmers TO enrich the Shylocks Of
England.
In relation the enactment Of this
measure there is little very interest
ing history. The Bankers Magazine
for August 1873 says;
