Whenever you see an Allianceman
of any intelligence, who says he Is
opposed to the Alliance demands or
any Of them, You may rest assured
that he is obeying the orders Of his
boss, and who do lou think his boss
is? Nine times out of ten it IS some
man who holds a mortgage on him.
My God, how is this? When you gave
that mortgage it was bad enough to

SENATOR PETER IN NEW YORK.
His Ringing Warning from the Common
People to the PlutoCracy.

His Ringing Warning from the Common
People to the P1utocracy.
The war has been carried into the
enemy's camp at last. Senator PETER,
in a great speech in Cooper Union last
week, opened the campaign of the peO-
pie against the money power in New
York city. If his message is heard
and needed by the autocrats of Wall
street. their interests will suffer far
less than will be the case if they con
tinue to defy the demands of the farm
erS and labOrerS of the country. Here
are some of the things he said. They
are worth reading:
| come to you in direct lineage from
that western orator who brought q
warming thirty odd years ago, to give
you the message that a power greater
than the slave power threatens the
country, and that you must destroy
that power or it will destroy you. 1t
has come to this: Whenever the men
of Wall street dictate a policy that
policy is adopted; whenever those men
oppose q policy that policy IS defeated.
More than twenty years ago a new
custom was adopted in this country,
namely, whenever the men OF Wall
street need more money they ask their
pdIUIl0E dU w CGSllIIIStOIl W OOLIAG ONOL
and help them, and he ONE Last
year the Secretary of the Treasury re
ports somewhere near 500, 900, 600 of
the peoples money paid over TO Wall
street, advanced in the way Of interest.
I saw in the National Treasury at
Washington the other day great piles
of bonds stamped Interest prepaid to
July LIST 1891
Now. in contrast to that pretense, |
submit the millions of suffering farm
erS OF this country. When the farmers
ask the government for money for
their actual needs they cannot get it,
while men are fOuriShing in wealth
can get it whenever they want it.
That condition of things must be
changed. We propose to take away
no mans property, We propose to
protect all mems property.
There IS need of several things. One
is more money, another Is cheaper
money. | don't mean money that Is
not good for anything. We want good
money. l don't care what kind, but
an abundance Of it. We want it at
lower rates Of interest than we are
now paying. BOnd-hOlders a get
money at 2 per cent, but the farmer
cannot get it for less than 10. We are
going to equalize that thing if we have

Gods of tho Ylantus.

The.grcat majority of the Bantu pco-
pie Of South Africa have no idea of the
place of habitation or mode of exist
encc of their deities; some of the more
enlightened, however, especially those
who have had some communication
with the Beers, have an idea that tho
Great Spirit lives some place above them
most of them believing that his place
of abode is in the top of an immense
tree. One curious fact regarding Bantu
supersttions is this: Although tho
more northerly tribe have an idea that
the Great Spirit resides some place
above them, those to the south, which
come in contact with the Beers almost
every day in the year, cannot be per-
suaded that their dcities do not dwell
in lonely caves and subtcrrancan cav
tiles underneath the earth. Before
their intercourse with the whites it
never entered the Bantus mind that
the acts of this life could have any eff
feet upon the spirit after death.
