MORE CHEEK THAN A GOVERN
MENT MULE.

To show our people some of the
tricks that are "dark and sinful" as
are used by capitalists to control leg
islation, we give below a copy Oh a
circular letter sent to all the bankers
of the country by the secretary OF the
Bankers Association while q move
ment was being agitated to repeal the
National bank act:
uDear Sir 1t is advisable to do
AL in your power to sustain such daily
and prominent weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and religious
press, as will oppose the issuing OF
ereenback paper money, and that you
also with hold patronage or tavors
from all applicants who are not will
ling to oppose the greenback govern
ment issue of money. Let the govern
ment 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 restore to circula-
ton the government issue of money,
viii be to provide the people with
money, and will therefore seriously
effect your individual profits as banker
and lender. See your member Of cor
gress at once, and engage him to sup
port our interest that we may control
legislation.
JAS. BUELL., Sec'y
247 Broadway, Room 4.
Now we wish to state before going
further that the National banks car
NED their point. They engaged"
your member of congress and thereby
secured their profits as banker and
lender" Is it any wonder we ask
that some of the "daily " and "prom-
inent weekly" papers raise a howl
when the farmers meet in convention
and "demand the abolition OF Nation
al banks and the substitution of legal
tender treasury notes in lien OF Ma
tional bank notes, issued in sufficient
volume to do the business Of the coun-
try on a cash system regulating the
amount needed on a per capita basis
rs the business interests of the coun'
try expands and that all money issued
by the Government shall be legal ten
der in payment Of all debts, both pub
bic and private"
Doubtless another letter was sent
out Immediately after the St. Louis
convention, which told the prominent
papers to "howl" or "favors" would
be withdrawn.

WHY THE DEMOCRATS WON.
What Representative Jason Brown Says
the November Cyclone.

What Representative Jason Brown Says Of
the November Cyclone.
Representative Jason B. Brown Of Indiana
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon. He is
looking we'll, having almost recovered from his
serious attack Of grip. which afflicted him dur
ing all Of the last session of Congress. In an
swer to q question as to the cause of the great
democratic victory throughout the country Mr..
Brown said that 1.-The Mckinley bill was TIL
doubtedly the controlling cause;'' that "thc re-
publican party threw away its mask and boldly
demanded a protective tariff for the sake of
protection alone. The people engaged in labor
and agricultural life" he added, plainly saw
that unless the outrage was severely rebuked
they soon would be permanently placed at the
mercy OF the money power, and they deter
mined to make one grand effort to extricate
themselves from the grasp of monopoly and
nobly did they succeed"
MIR. Brown also said that ''the force bill and
the intOlerant and bigoted action of Reed and
his associates in the House of Representatives
had much to do in bringing about the glorious
democratic victory" that 1.-The people always
believed in fair play, and had become convinced
power that their right to home rule and to con-
troll their local affairs in their own way would
be taken from them"
When asked if the democrats in the Fifty
second Congress would adopt Reeds rules he
said he believed and hoped not; 'that the party
had stood too long in favor Of extending to the
minority all its constitutional rights and privi-
lege to take.a departure now. The democracy
had all to gain and nothing to lose in firmly
standing for justice"
Upon the subject Of the speakership Mr..
Brown said it was too soon yet to predict who
would be chosen. Quite a number of very
capable gentlemen, Mr.. Bynum of his own
state among the number, had been very favor
ably mentioned and all could rest assured the
Fifty-second Congress would be presided over
by fair and impartial man. and the work Of
that Congress from its very organization would
satisfy the conservative class Of our people and
give assurance Of great democratic victory
in 1892.
