A VITAL QUESTION.

rhe Ability to Meet Obligations Growing
Less, White the Necessity Tor Increasing
Them Grows Greater.
Tho seeds of reform are planted by
education, but the results are reached
by evolution. A certain course Of ac-
ton produces certain consequences and
in the course Of time men are brough.
face to face with condition that can
only be met by the application of cer-
tain principles 1t is then no longer a
question what these pHncipl shall be-
This is decided in advance by the env..
ronments Certa results must be Sc.
cured, no matter how much they may
clash with preconceived opinions.
Before tho close of the lato war
thinkers began to warn the people
against the consequences OF our fuan-
cial system and other kindred policies
in reference to associated monopolies.
They pointed out that our contraction
policy would create a money stringancv
that must eliminate into system Of
debt creating which il continued,
would inevitably lead to the concentra-
ton OF the veal th of the country into
the hands of the few who were in
position to take advantage OF the tua-
on it was urged that under tho oper-
alton Of this system the Indebtedness
of the people would increase until it
was far beyond the ability to pay.
These alarmists Gere secuted as vague
theorists and the masses Of the people
paid no attention to them But now,
under tho operation of our system OF
debt-creating and over-capital zation We
have reached the time when the aver
age debtor is painfully aware OF the
fact that the prospects for his being
able 20 lift the mortgage on his proper
ty is becoming less and less while the
necessity for increasing his indebted
ness is becoming more and more press
ing
IN is tho condition that has been
brought about by the application OF cer-
tain false financial principles lt is no
longer a theory but fact that wc arc
brought face to face with. Ih coud.-
ton OF affairs has been the direct result
OF debt-creatng system Of finance.
The Indebtedness is upon the people
and the demand for interest must be
met OUT OF the ptolutlS OF 4AioF even vt
nothing should be left to support Tho
worker This condition admits 81 but
one remedy and that Is the esfablish-
ment of a debt-pay ng system Of finance
The first step towards the estahl sh-
ment OF this false condition which
brings the wealth producer out In debt
to the non-pr0ducar was the establish
ment OF banking system which gave
to a money monopoly the control of tho
distribution OF money. The old par
ties are both pledged 10 continue
tion Of this system, while the Alli-
ance demands the Government control
of the distribution % money without
the intervention Of banks In other
words the old parties arc pledged IN
favor OF the continuance Of our present
system Of debt-creatnr while the Ali
ance PROPOSES 20 substitute therefor
debt-pay ug system. This is one OF tho
vital questions of the day in a nutshell
