THE CAMPAIGN OF SLANDER-THE POOR
WEAPONS USED AGAINST THE AL
ANC R HARMLESS.
4 good way-perhaps the best way
to ascertain whether a movement is
right or wrong is to find out who its
enemies are and the reasons for their
enmity.
If it can be shown that the only am
munitiOn for the enemy is SANDER and
false reports, then the movement may
be regarded as absolutely just and
right; for in this age of intelligence and
enlightenment no false, narrow or
superficialmovement can escape q fatal
criticism founded on truth and broad
justice.
1t requires no elaboration of these
promises or incidents in point to con-
vince the people of this country that
the Alliance movement is right. The
very classes who have opposed and
are opposing the Alliance have shown
the public the necessity and justice of
it by the methods they have adopted
to heap cOntumely on it and break it
up. First, n individual prominent
in the movement is virulently attacked
and slandered. All the ISLANDERS are
hurled back in the teeth of those who
put them out and proven to be the
grOssest and most malicious false
hoods.
Then some principle of the Alliance
is taken up, twisted and perverted out
of all shape and meaning and then
Kissed and ridiculed galore. But note
one fact: The partisan men and papers
that 90 into this "ridicuIe" business
always take pains to first twist the
principle they attack out Of it's pure
shape and meaning. They do not dare
attack the principles as they stand and
should be understood in the Alliance
platform.
Let's have a case or two in point:
Last year a Kansas paper-the Topeka
CdpjtaL-published a long and utterly
groundless Islander on the Alliance
President, said he a rebel" briga-
der, that he captured a number of
Federal prisoners at Gettysburg, and
when they were about to be re-captured
by their comrades he ordered them to
| be shot down Unfortunately. This
colossal lie was trumpeted through the
land by both Democratic and Republi-
can partisan newspapers. The report
has been corrected from military official
sources, showing that the Alliance
President never held a rank in the
army higher than that of lieutenant,
and that he neither captured nor had
charge of any prisoners at Gettysburg.
Yet not a single one of those papers
has had the honesty and manliness to
try to correct a report which they cir
culated with ali possible vigOr and

The CHASTITY remains of the Republic

mangled self from under the debris of

the State forcing a hollow, sepulchral
laugh while it tells how it wasn't a bit
damaged by the cyclone 0 isn't a bit
scared Of the coming earthquake.
The dilapidated, battered up party
press finds chief amusement in keeping
this funny fiction swinging round the
circle: twenty-five Sub-Alliances
have repudiated the third party move
ment. Fifteen Of these have reported
to the State Alliance and ten to the
Republican State Central Committee. "
Orders have been issued to the small
fry papers to keep the above standing
in place Of the legends which were
pied on election day. Some of the
"reminiscences of that sad autumn time
are as follows: The Alliance rapidly
going to pieces" Fifty more SuL-

ancemen rapidly going back to the

pays the bank 81, 900 a year interest on
it's bonds, the bank lends it's $50, 600 of
notes at s per cent, taking in 81, 200.
Thus the bank is getting in 81, 200
annually on its 800, 600 worth of bonds,
and for this privilege it pays but 1 per
cent. on the 800, 600 of notes, amount
ing to only 5000 per year. This is a
very soft and safe thing for the banks,
for in addition to all this it has the
temporary use of money deposited,
and usually collects interest in advance
and loans the interest money out right
away, thus making interest on interest
which has never been earned.
But the banks are complaining some
now at a condition which they them
selves brought about. National bank
ing was such a nice thing that a great
many people wanted to go into it. This
made a lively demand for the bonds,
and the demand got SO strong that
those who wanted them for banking
purposes began to offer more than their
face value for them. The final result
of this move has been to run the price
Of 800 worth of bonds up to $125 and
more. Of course the bond bears in
terest only on it's face value, so that
when a banker pays 1925 for a bond he
gets interest only on $100. This is
more than he can bear. He wants at
least S per cent. interest on every dol
lar loaned out and wants it in advance,
and he wouldn't think about investing
in United States bonds if he could issue
notes without it. Now he is working
his scheme to get the bonds, soon due,
extended at a low rate Of interest so
that no one will care to buy them at a
premium.
Nobody wants to make investments
that will pay only 1! per cent. interest,
and if the bonds shall be extended at
that rate nobody will want them ex-
cept bankers, and they will only want
them for banking purposes; that is
they will only want them for the pur-
pose of issuing bank notes upon them,
and these notes al be loaned at s per
cent. in advance, and perhaps o
And if nobody but bankers will want
the bonds, they will soon fix it so that
they can get them for face value, and
perhaps less.
The banker may lose a little interest
money from the government on his
bonds by this scheme, but it will per-
petuate the national banking system,
and that's what he is bending his ener-
gies to do. 1t is altogether too good a
thing to let go, and, as usual, the
national administration is c%onniving
with the money power" to keep its
grip fastened on the public and the
people.
A little survey and examination of
the facts here outlined will show that
the banks and money power reap rich
harvests when the National Treasury
is Overlooking with wealth, and they
will also show that when the National
Treasury is depleted and looted, and
when there are possible necessities of
levying heavier taxes on the people
through the medium Of more burden
some tariff bills or otherwise, the banks
and the money power continue to have
all the opportunities for reaping rich
harvests.
One of the demands of the Alliance
is the abolition Of the national banking
system, and until it is abolished these
Internal and outrageous financial
frauds will be kept up.

THE POPE's E~NCYCLICAL.

-
Pulpit Review Of Current Events by Reg; Thos.
Dixon, j., for Sunday, June =, 1881.
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., pastor
Of the T~wenty-third Street Baptist
Church. preceded his sermon this
morning at Association Hall by the
following review of current events:
The latest Encyclical of Pope Leo
Mi. on the Labor Problem is one of
the most remarkable papers that has
ever emanated from the Vatican. 1t is
in every way worthy of the greatest of
the Porcs who has occupied the throne
of St. Peters. 1t marks an advance on
anythiu2 that has been prodcced by the
head Of the Catholic Church, certainly
within d century. The Pope has shown
himself in this letter to be a profound
scholar and thinker and fully abreast
with the great question of the age.
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION PEG
PIE.
Say what we may, as PrOtestants, of
Rome and Romanism, Leo XIII. speaks
to the consciences Of $50, 600, 600 peo-
pie, speaks with an authority possessed
by no other man on earth from their
point Of view. What he says is there
fore Of vast Importance to the world.
We may disagree with him, we may
dispute the ground on which he bases
his authoritative statements, but we
cannot dispute the fact Of his vast in1u-
ence. What he says is Of great inter
est to the Protestant world, because it
is of vital concern to so large a portion
of the whole world.
II QUESTION OF QUESTIONS.
This letter is remarkable because Of
the fact that it indicates remarkable
progress in the Pope himself. 1t marks
a distinct advance from the vague
g~eneraIities and traditional deliver
ances Of the conventional encyclical. 1t
is evident that the Pope has deter
mined that the Catholic Church shall,
if possible, lead the great social move
ment Of the age. He is wise enough,
far-seeing enough, scholarly enough,
philanthropist enough, to see that it is
the one question of questions that con
Germs the heart of the world today.
Theproduction of this e~ncyclicaI really
places the Pope in the list of the social
refOrmers of u times. What hesays
in his letter has been admirably con-
densed in the following sentences:
WHAT LEO XIII SAYS.
That there is a labor problem.
That workingmen are suffering under
gross injustice.
That It IS the duty of the Church to
concern itself with these facts.
That wealth is a trust, and must be
administered as a trust.
That hours of labor should be such
as to give time for s~oulculture.
That wages should be such as to give
opportunity foracquisition of property.
That, if these results cannot be
secured 10y free contract, thelaw should
interfere.
That labor arbitration should take
the place Of labor battles.
That labor organizations should be
encouraged.
That woman labor and child labor
should be regulated and reduced by
legislation.
That Che factory Acts are right in
principle.
That 5he Church, the State, free
labor organizations and capitalists
should al cooperate in labor reform.
ANOTG H ADVANCE GUARD.
Certainly all this Is vital to the great
social problem Of to-day, and in so far
as he has said this the Pope has placed
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-07-14

energy. So much to show the process
of attack on individuals of the Alliance,
though many similar instances can be
produced.
The New York Tribune has probably
capped the climax in dealing with
Alliance principles. 1t taxes up the
Sub-Treasury plan and actually asserts
that it demands that the government
shall loan farmers. money and take as
security goOseberries, pumpkins, beets
and the like. After making these state
ments, the Tribune just rolls up its
sleeves and walks into the Sub Treasury
plan and demOlishes it, and then throws
up it's hat and hurrahs. Of course. It
makes one think of a couple of Dickens
misunderstanding and Brass. Quilp
couldn't whip Brass, so he went home,
stuffed an old coat and pair of panta-
looms with straw and Sawdust, set them
up in a corner and said Samuel
Brass" And then he jumped into
Brass and literally tore him all to
smash. The Tribune wanted to tear
up the Sub Treasury plan, but it had
to make the thing over as it wanted it
and then set it up in a cOrner before it
could do it.
Last week the bureau showed how
desperately the partisan press was try
ing to create the impression that the
Alliance was splitting up and losing it's
independent attitude as a political fac
tor. The report was simply a scheme
hit upon by certain politicians who
sought to influence the people who
were holding independent political
meetings i'll Ohio, Iowa and other States
about that time.
These things are cited to show that
the partisan press has totally aban-
doned all honorable and fair means of
fighting the Alliance and the people,
and is now stopping to the lowest and
most degraded methods that even bit
ter and unreasonable partisans a de-
wise. They will keep up their fight
and opposition along this line. Now
let the people decide once for all how
far they can follow and sustain a press
ora party that will deliberately practice
such methods. H. w. AVER.

THE EMPTY TREASURY-HOW H BANK
ERS HAVE USED THE PUBLIC FUNDS.
The condition of the National Treas
ury is exciting attention and comment
now, and statements Of every kind I
being sent out about it. Great editors
are trying to explain the situation, but
it's safe to assume that none Of them
knows all about it, or if they do they
won't tell it.
Eut whatever the condition may be,
it is plain that the money power" has
found a way to get something out of it.
There is something really amazing in
the schemes that can be developed by
the money pOwer"i in any emergency.
When the treasury had one or two
hundred millions of dollars more on
hand than there was any immediate
use for, this money power" came
down from New York and with the
cOnnivance of a Democratic admins
tration got the use Of sixty or seventy
millions of dollars for some time with
out paying interest for it.
That is to say they came down and
told the administration that this money
would be safer, perhaps, in their bank
vaults than in the treasury vaults, so
they named themselves blanks Of de
pOsit," and the Democratic administra-
ton let those banks have $50, 900, 900.
The banks of course loaned out this
money to people who were obliged to
borrow at pretty high rate of interest,
but they never paid the government
any interest.
The present Republican administra-
ton did the same thing for the banks,
only there was not quite so much
money on hand and it could only lend
twenty millions of dollars. Then a
"billion dollar" Congress came along
and cleaned up things generally. That
Congress forgot the obligations of the
government and spent and squandered
so much money that the treasury Off
Gals were soon forced to acknowledge
that there would not be enough on
hand to redeem fifty millions of dollars
of A per cent. bonds which would fall
due during the year. The banks held
these bonds and they waited awhile to
see what the Treasury Department
would do.
That department didn't know what
to do, and it's head and chief went to
the banks and asked their advice.
They told him to extend the bonds at a
lower rate of interest-say about II or
2 per cent. This, they said, would
give the national banks a better and
easier chance of issuing bank notes
than they had formerly had. And the
head of the Treasury Department has
concluded to take the advice of the
banks.
Now here is the way his scheme
works out. When all the United
States bonds are redeemed and can
ceIed there can be no national banks.
Under the present system a bank holds,
say, 500, 900 of bonds. The govern
ment pays the bank per cent. interest,
and at the same time permits the bank
to issue 500, 900 Of bank notes, which
the bank lends out at 6 or s per cent.
or more. Now. while the government
