The Great Money Monopoly.

A recent contributor to the miscellaneous
department of the Voice very forcibly pre-
sents the devouring power of usurious inter-
est which has been, and still is, fostered by
the National Government. The following
extract contains the gist of the article which
demonstrates the steady flow of the products
of industry to the Golfers of the interest
gatherers.
But some may say the money loaner does
not own all the money. We will suppose
for illustration that he does not. Then
there will be two classes of people who own
money, beside The miser who need not be
taken into the consideration. The one class
are using their money in the transactions of
their business; the other class are putting
theirs out at interest. Now, the man in
business controls his money for one transac-
ton only. I: may come back to him +; it
may not. The man who loans his money
puts it out on terms that will bring it back
again creased in volume by added interest.
This interest cannot come from what he
puts out, for that comes back as principal.
1t must come from the increase in the Cir
culating medium or else from what uas
owned by business men. Interest added to
principal and put out again would give an
ever increasing interest which in time would
exceed the increase in the circulating
medium.
"This excess must come from the business
mems portion of it. and in time would abb
soib all Off The money loaner owning
all the money, all business must be conduct
ed on borrowed capital. Not that each
business man must borrow, but some one
must borrow before the money can go into
circulation again. And mark this: All
money being owned by the loaner. his in
terest can no longer be met in money; it
must be met by surrendering more or less
of the realty of the country each year until
that in turn is all absorbed bv the money
loaner.
"This is the logical and inevitable out.
come of depending for legal tender on
what is controlled by private parties and is
allowed to draw interest.
"Money is controlled by a monster
monopoly fostered by the Government, and
unless broken up by change of our none
tary system, degradation and slavery awaits
the American people in the near future
| The farms in North Dakota and in all other
parts of the country can lie saved TO their
owners only by action of Congress, which
will give US an immediate and decided in
crease in our circulating medium, and saved
to them permanently by giving us a mon
etary system founded in justice"

Government Loaning Money to
Farmers,

Senator Stanford's Bill requiring the gov
eminent to loan money direct to farmers at
per cent interest on real estate security,
has created considerable comment and crit
icism among what Is called the money class
who boot ii rather than consider it. The
attempt to claim that government is Not
money loaner, that it has no power to loan
money, is simple absurdity. Every national
bank is borrower from the government at
the low rate of ] per cent interest per annum.
A system somewhat similar is the plan
proposed by Senatol Stanford to aid and
relieve farmers. A California banker dis
cussing the project says in concluding a
lengthy article on the subject, published in
the San Francisco CaH:
SIT seems simply an extension oflhe ben
eft disposed by the government in fulfil
ment of the guarantee of equal rights to all.
That this view will generally prevail the
more the proposition is studied and compre
hended is my earnest conviction. | haye
thought upon il, discussed it with friends,
and deiiberated to the limit of my reasoning
powers. | have heard no argument against
it, that has not on more mature considera-
ton seemed fsllacious and unsouni. 1t will
not do to dismiss 1t with sneer, or reject it
without thought. 1t will not down; it will
grow and spread as the grass of the fields"
This writer, who is banker, thinks
many bankers will favor the plan. Amy
measure which gives prosperity to the farm
ing interest aids country bankers especially
and all other business located in rural dis
| tricts.
1t is interest that eats up people as
statistics abnndantly prove. Senator STAN
ford's proposition TO loan money by the gov
eminent and fix the rate of interest at 2 per
cent would 60 far in abolishlng the old Jew
system of finance which has for centuries
laid the grasp;ng hand of usury on indus
try. Let our government control the cur
rency Of the country by becoming the lender
in place of the borrower and by King the
rate Of interest for its loans the heavy usury
interest would be destroyed. Landordism
and usurious interest are the two vampires
that have sucked the substance from labor
through all the centuries. The upward and
onward march of civilization and the broth
erhood of labor are addressing themselves
to these twin evils. The mass of the peo-
pie who think are bes inning to understand
where their oppression has its source and
are preparing to apply the remedy.

A Silly Rumor

Was started through joke, about
the beginning of the week, that the
National Bank OF Rising Sun had
closed. Some person remarked that
the bank had closed-at 3 o'clock
Some one overheard the remark and
told it to the next person he met
that the bank had failed or shut up
or something of the kind. This idle
report was spread through the county
and in a few days after began to
come into the Sun where no person
had heard of it till brought in by
outsiders. One of the wild reports
was that there had been a "run on
the bank The whole ridiculous
story started in the manner above
stated and without the slightest foun.
dalton.
The report was very tantalizing
and pro, oking to the officers of the
bank. subjecting them to numerous
inquiries, all originating from such
a simple remark. Depositors didn't
seem to be at all alarmed as on
Wednesday, the day the story was al
it's hight, the deposits amounted to
$l4.575, against S10.S94 checked out
The collapse of the Waring Fertil'
lzer Company followed by the Colora
fertilizer firm, represented by the
Clendenin Brothers prepared the
public to receive any kind Of gossip
as bonafide facts. The report of the
failure given in MIDLAND JOURNAL
last week was construed by some
who Lave the bumps OF marvellous
ness well developed into total col
lapse of the entire neighborhood and
the rnin of all who held any stock in
the concern. Such stories are simp
ly ridiculous. Such failures as these
are serious loss to the business and
labor of any community where they
occur and pecuniary loss to those
who own stock in them, and are to
be deplored, but such stock generally
represents surplus money and seldom
affects the solvency of the losers.

WINDOWS Silver Policy.

The following is the silver plank in the
Republican party's Nartional platform Of
1888:
''The republican party is in favor Of the
use of both gold and silver as money and
condemns the policy Of the democratic adj
ministraiion in its efforts to demonetize
silver"
Mr.. Francis G. Newlands of the National
SILVER Committee, addresses an open letter
to Mr.. Window, published in the National
View, combating the Secretary's recon-
mendation and bill he prepared and laid
before Congress. The letter is very incis :
i've and clear, cutting up by the roots
WINDOWS covert opposition to the remone-
tization of silver. The letter concludes:
'The republican leaders are anxious.
They know that the earnestness of the peo-
pile on this subject is growing in intensity /;
that the West and South are overwhelm-
ingly for free coinage that the bimetalic
principle is gaining converts daily in the
east that Wall street, formerly the strong
hold of mononetalism. is now divided they
know that at the coming fall elections defeat

upon tie money question. If it were not
for your intervention, there would have
been no suggestion of treating silver other
than as money, and the legislation satisfac-
tory to the country would probably by this
time have been adopted.
''But the power of your department is
being exercised against any measure which
does not provide for redemption in bullion.
If your views are adopted as the views OF
the administration, then there will be no
favorable silver legislation and the party
will march 10 defeat. do not question the
sincerity OF your views, but ask can it be
possible that you had the party platform be-
fore you when you expressed them, and that
you will further urge a measure, which IL
in violation of that party faith to the main
tenance of which this administration is
pledged?"
Every Secretary of the Treasury since
Lincoln's administration has been of the
same class to which Window is attched,
welded to Wall street and the Rothchild
interest and financial heresies. The peo-
pie are growing very tired Of this and are
resolved on making radical change. Gov
eminent fostering and protecting the rich
and the rich taking care of the poor and
laboring classes has pretty near had lis day.
Republican America has initiated mon
archical and aristocratic Europe in its
policies quite too long.

Onward March of Prohibition.

The original package decision of
the Supreme Court has brought pro-
hibition into both houses of Congress
as never before. Every movement
forces the absorbing question to the
front which the professional polite.

back. The Prohibition party in the
mean time is growing in strength
and sudacity and constantly throw

to the old party leaders, expos

cality carried on between the
saloon and the machine drivers Of
the old parties. Tie Prohibition
party lis putting candidates in the
field in every State and in nearly
every county, and keeping their dish
right side up ready for tie shower
when it comes. The very persistence
and pluck of the Prohibition party
force concessions from the old par
ties which would never be made were
it not for the constant bounding
and exposures of the dishonest
measures of the politicians, kept up
by the Prohibition organization.
The great battle which is being
made against the saloon this year is
in Nebraska, which state has been
under a high license for 8 years; and
the license is high; no sham like the
most of the ''high license" but a
81, 900 license. After 9 years. trial

falsehoods concocted by the rum
party has been uncovered by the
alert prohibiLionists. The liquor in.
terest played this bribery and cor
ruption game in Pennsylvania and
other States successfully, and the
Philadelphia papers, after denying
the charge that they were bribed by
the saloon to do its lying work, were
convicted, and the price of their
shame published. After this expos.
ure they never opened their mouths.
This game is being frustrated in
Nebraska and the fight is favorable
for victory for the prohibition

The contrast in the increase of
wealth between Kansas under Pro-
hibition over Nebraska under high
license is a striking recommendation
in favor of prohibition. Here are the

PRoHIBITION AT THE CAPITOL -
Speaker Reedy has issued an order
that the sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the House of Representatives res
taurant should cease. The order is
temporary, and is intended to give
the Speaker an opportunity to learn
exactly what bearing the joint rules
have in the mater and what the
sentiment of the House is. The
order went into effect immediately,
and its effect was plainly noticeable
in a considerable diminution in the
number of customers of the restau.
