"Consi stency Thou Art a Jewel"

The Democratic papers of Iowa
are crying Justify for free coinage of
silver and financial legislation in
order to give the people more money,
and at the same time booming Gro
yer Cleveland for president in 1892,
which is certainly very inconsistent
when it is so well known that this
country has never had more pro
nounced enemy to silver as a money
than the ex president. His fight on
the silver dollar began prior to his
Inauguration, and during his entire
administration scarcely a word was
uttered in behalf of silver by any OF
his adherents In or ont Of Congress,
hut if word would happen to drop
from Weaver or Bland in that dlrec,
ton 1T was Immediately squelched
by Mr.. Cleveland or Dan Manning,
the Wall street Secretay of the
Treasury. Every message of the
ex president contained almost pos
tive demand that the coinage of sill
yer be discontinued. If there was
any evidence that Grover had chang
ed his mind on that great economic
question there would be some con.
sistency in crying free coinage Of
silver and Grover for president in 1872,
hut there is not scintil a of evi.
dence that such is the case. And
had it not been for his extreme Wal
street views on the money question
he would have been in the presiden,
tial chair to-day. The man who two
short years ago said no one but a
greenback lunatic favored free coin
age, and now bowls so inconsistency,
either has an ak to grind or some
thing else in view in the political
pasture field.-Uni0n Times, Sidney,

Our Great National Wealth

Superficial thinkers and reasoners rut
their hands with degree of satisfaction and
national pride when they read statistics o.
the public debts and the Liquidation ofthen
that has been made, and the vast product:
Of the country and mountains of national
wealth that has been, and continues to be
created. During the last decade the de-
crease in the national debt is put down in
the tables at 1857, 775, 0O9O5, and the debt,
of the States decreased $5S,020 1881 "A

quired by the government 10 be handed over
to special and nonprodncing class? The
gathering of these vast sums by the State
from the earnings of labor has left the farm

These public debts have been mann featured
by monopoly in money, which lays its
greedy hand on the industry of the civilized
world, till our public debt reached a pre-

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, in a
recent article, says: During the
dark ages the mines failed and the
world was almost destitute of money
of any kind. No coin of either gold
or silver could be manufactured
sufficiently small to be nsed in pay

dependence during 400 years of
contraction reduced the people to

THE HAZARD CIRCULAR.

In 1862 an agent of European capitalists
sent the following ''confdential' circular
TO American bankers:
slavery is likely to be abolished by the
war power and chattel slavery destroyed.
This, and my European friends are in
favor of, for slavery is but the owning Of
labor, and carries with it the care of the
laborer; while the European plan, led on
by England, is capital control of labor, by
controlling wages. This can be done by
controlling the money. The great debt that
capitalists will see to it is made out Of tie
war, must be used as measure TO control
the volume of money. To accomplish this
the bones must be used as banking basis.
We are now waiting to get the secretary OF
the treasury to make this recommendation
10 congress. 1t will not do to allow the
'greenback, as it is called, to circulate as
money any length of time, for we cannot
control them. But we can control the
bonds, and through them the bank issue. u

ly newspapers, especially the agricultural

also withhold patronage or favors from all
who will not oppose the government issue OF
money. Let the government issue the coin
and the banks Issue the paper money Of the
country, for then we can better protect each
other. To repeal the law creating national
banks or to restore to circulation the Coy
eminent issue of money will be TO provide
the people with money and will, therefore,
seriously affect your individual profit as
bankers and lenders. See your members OF
congress at once, and engage him TO support
our interest that we may control legislation"
