Senator Edmunds Of Vermont la.


Senator Edmunds of Vermont has
handed his resignation to the governor
to take effect in November next. He
entered the United States Senate in
1865 and the term he is at present serv-
ing would end March 4th 1898
Edmunds does we'll to resign. He is one
of the strong upholders of that money
aristocracy which has risen up in New
England states and elsewhere in the
east, and the Edmunds theory of gov
eminent and craftsmanship is to SO
shape legislation that the rich may be-
come constantly richer by drawing
from the labor and producing classes
through the power of debt and interest
the greater part of their surplus earn
ings. That policy Edmunds doubtless
sees is to be fought by hardy and de-
termined class of representatives and
senators, whose rhetoric may not be so
fine as the Vermont Senators, but
whose facts and arguments, will crush
through the saphistry ofNew England
latter day craftsmanship.

theory is true that the government paper
money Is based on gold? or course the
pepper money outstanding should not be
worth cent and no person world receive il
in payment for goods Is any gold money
bowler simple enough to believe that any
such results would follow, or that he could
get single greenback or national bank note
still outstanding for penny less than a
gold dollar. If these paper dollars are
worth as much as money without any gold
in the treasury to satisfy their demand, as
they were when there was 20 cents on the
dollar to redeem them, what can it be that
keeps them up TO their standard purchasing
power! These notes and bonds are given
force and direction by the land of the
nation, aud GO millions of people who con.
stiiule the nation stand ready, the agricul-
tursts with seven billions of produce and
manufacturers. miners andlother producers
with nearly as much more ready and eager
10 exchange this vast wealth of pro-
ducts for these notes. And this is the
power which endorses them. And these
twelve 10 fifteen thousand millions of pro,
ducts will settle the balance of trade as
readily as gold. And this quaking fear Of
the ''loss Of gold balance of trade against
us" which we constantly hear, is finan-
cial fiction an aren't humbug that has been
used BY financial thimble-riggers to frIghten
and dupe lhepublic.
When our government is cut loose from
the gold ring and its following of banks,
bankers, spectators and gamblers, and is
sues its notes free and unincumbered by any
conditions making them dependent on
imaginary gold, but endorsed by the inn
proved farm lands ofthe nation and their
products, when the government becomes the
loaner OF, as well as the maker, ofihe money
for the use of the people, then will we have
government Of the people for the people
and by the people, and not as now, a
government Of EXP loiters, for exploiters and
by explorers, and have had for the lest
quarter of a century. Then will the bone
and sinew Of the nation get clear of the
grinding power Of usury and debts which
they never contracted but have been fastened
upon them by the exploiting methods Of
the gold ring and European money trust.

Compound Credit.

Extract from speech of Hon. A. FL.
Spencer. of New York, before the
Labor League.
Continuing, the speaker said: The
matter OF the half of per cent of
the people of the country owning
more than half of its wealth is largely
due to the system of compound cred
its. You have all heard the problem
of how the system of compound in
terest increases until the weight Of
gold thus acquired would exceed that
of the earth. The compound credits
beat that For example: / propose a
European Banking scheme on specie
basis and will start with 81. / put q
silver dollar in the vault; the govern
ment inspector finds it there and then
| have the right to have paper or a
credit dollar. The law authorizes it.
What will you do with that credit
dollar? You can buy ahorse, mans
labor, anything with it. | will ex-
change it for specie dollar and pnt
that in my vault. / haye now two
specie dollars. The credit dollar,
originally, did not cost me anything,
and for the second dollar, specie, /
can issue another dollar and get a
third specie dollar for that. This
may be repeated until have 100000
in my vault. All this is got by a
credit system. The law says there
must be reserve in the vault of 40
per cent out to redeem any of these
dollars. The other 60 per cent costs
nothing. In the place of this specie
let us use United States bonds.
Four men assist me to incorporate,
say. the fifteenth National Bank.
We will get $4,000 worth of bonds
and deposit them instead of specie.
The government is very paternal. 1t
gives US so per cent of those bonds
in paper money. While we are about
it we will start on basis of 800, 900
and get 100000 paper money. What
Will be done with it? The gentlemen
who have got that paper money can
go and buy lot of other bonds and
open another bank and get more
paper money. The money was given
to the bank unfairly, unjustly and at
the expense of the people. A more
unjust. a more outrageous tax upon
the people could not be perpetuated.
1t is a scheme unparalleled in its
power to rob the people. After re.
ceiving the second lot of bonds they
have been know to buy three, four or
five times. until the bank, from hav.
ing 100000 bonds, owned 100000
and drew interest on them. TSensa-

impression that regular legitimate
banking is dishonest. am opposed

Good Advice.
work

And it applies to Cecil as well as
Anne Arundel county. The Mary.
land Republican says:
Organize" is the watchword.
Organize, brother farmers, and do
your duty. Don't be mislead by
fattery and fair promises. Don't
be scared off by talk about party,
"duty to party" &c. This is all
bluff. This cry has been heard time
and again before. Pay no attention
to it, but quietly work away. Now
you all know the past condition Of
the farmers. You know there is
need for them to organize and take
the power out of the hands of these
machine politicians; men who get
their bread, yes and their wine and
costly apparel too, by getting hold
of the money which you have earned
and ought 70 spend. They are
spending it for you; spending it in
the legislature, in the lobby, in the
oyster navy, in costly "Testiuo-
mails : in high salaries getting few
hundred dollars out of you here, and
a few hundred there, until you are
robbed and your substance is fritter-
ed away. Keep the facts before you.
Steadily organize Keep out the
traitors. Talk with your neighbors.
Get them to join the Alliance. Let
every Alliance man do missionary
work in this respect. Work together
with one mind and heart for the
common good. Farmers, one and
all, have your true interests at heart
and organize. Join the Farmers
Alliance.

When Experts Make the Country
ponror

Poorer.
In one of Henry Georges books,
written in 1886, under the head of
Exports and Imports be narrates the
following anecdote:
1.-The last time / crossed to Eng
land l sat at the steamer table by
two young Englishmen, who drank
much champagne and in other ways
showed they had plenty of money.
AS we became acquainted | learned
they were younger sons of English
country families graduates of a
sort of school which has been es
tablished in Iowa for wealthy young
Englishmen who wish to become
gentlemen farmers or estate
owners in the United States. Each
had got him a considerable tract of
new land, had cut IL up into farms,
erected on each farm a board house
and barn, and then rented these
farms to tenants for half the crops
They liked America, they said; it
was good country to haye an estate
in. The land laws were very good,
and if a tenant did not pay promptly
you could get rid of him without
long formality. But they preferred
to live in England, and were going
back to enjoy their incomes there,
having put their affairs in the hands
of a agent. to whom the tenants were
required to give notice when they
wished to reap their crops, and see
that the landlords half vas promptly
rendered. Thus in this case half the
crop Cess commission Of certain
Iowa farmers must annually be ex.
ported without any return in imports.
And this tide of exports for which
no imports come back is only COM
mencing to flow. Many Englishmen
already own American land by the
hundred thousand, a7d even by the
million acres, and are only begin.
ming to draw rent and royalties
This was written five wears ago or
less and we now behold how true the
prediction. Last week we published
some statistics of corporation and
alien land ownership in this country
aggregating 10000, 900 acres. an area
greater in extent than some of our
largest western States. To investi
gate these abuses and bring the facts
to the notice of farmers and other
producing and laboring classes, and
devise remedies for such gigantic
evils and misgovernment is what the
Farmers Alliance is organized for.
1t is primarily teacher, school OF
political economy, and is in no sense
political party. AS an organiza-
ton or association the Alliance will
never place candidates in nomina-
ton. If its members or any portion
of them, choose to combine outside
the order and place candidates in
nomination, when they believe they
have sufficient reasons to justify such
action, that is altogether their own
concern. The order goes steadily on
with its educational and fraternal
work.

Jerry Simpson has been visiting
New York to see the beast in its
lair and it would be amusing if not
so contemplate. the attacks which
the plutocratic press are making
upon him. The philippics and car
toons which the Alliance Congress-
man is made the subject of, are
intended for the whole labor element
he represents. The storm Of ridicule,
irony and contempt which greets
Jerry from the plutocratic press of
that city is evidence how the CALLED
jade winces when its writhers are
wrung. He is represented as wearing
silk hose, putting up at Windsor in
Sc 90 day room. and Is told that
there are plenty of good lodging
places on the Battery for rs cents a
night. 1t grows more and more
evident that the next presidential
hattie is not to be between the Dem
ocrat and Republican parties but
between Wall street and its following
and the rest of the country. Wall
street and its monopolies will leave
no device untried, money will flow as
water, to retain their possession of
the government, while the people
will rise in their might to rescue the
government from the usurpe.s'
hands.
The great masses of the we'll in
tentioned people who haye consti-
tuted these parties in the past should
no longer be divided but come
together and talk together, pull
together and vote together for their
mutual safety, their mutual interest
and equality 10 the government.
Every effort will be made to hold
them to their "allegience. Heed
no longer the cry of these false
guides, but stand together in union
and unity for the truth.
