McMiiien, Springer and Hatch-Con-
gressmen Arriving I'm Washington by
the score-An Shy About Figures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Congress
men who have heretofore been slow III
arriving are now coming to town by the
score on every train, and 1t is thoughV
that by Friday all will be here or ac-
counted for. According to the latest es-
innate, making allowances for vacancies

men who will flock by themselves ana
the loss of five votes by reason of there
being that number of candidates, there
will be 225 Representatives In the caucus,
thus requiring lib voter To nominate.
The Crisp men assert to-day that they
are sure Of at least this number on the
first ballot. The Mills men do not concede
this, but admit that the Georgia man is In
the lead. They say, however, that he will
develop his full strength at the start, and
that, on the other hand Mills will gainlfrom
Mcmillan, Springer and Hatch. Mills re-
fuses To give out figures, but contents
himself with saying that there is no doubt
whatever of his nomination.
The fact is that the friends of the free
trade candidate are badly frightened to-
day, and they do not hesitate TO say pri.
vately that il McMillin, Springer and
Hatch cannot be retired from the race be-
fore the caucus, the Georgia man cannot
be beaten. The greatest pressure is being

supporters of these three candidates, so
thai their votes can be added to the Mills
column to avoid disaster, but as yet moth
ing has been accomplished in that direc-
ton.
Judge Crisp's strength Is gaining with
every new arrival. and his Supporters stand
absolutely firm. Their unbroken column
frightens Mills, and from now on every
possible means will be resorted TO in the
interest of the retirement Of either McMil-
lin, Springer, or Hatch, or all of them, as
this is the only hope of the Texas candi-
date. IL they can't bring this about he is
beaten and he knows it.
The Crisp folks say they feel absolutely
sure of Crisp's election, and that what
they are fighting for is nomination on the
first ballot. Estimates giving the names
place his vote at over 100 on the first bal
lot. Within twentyfour hours fourteen
names have been taken from the doubtful
list and put on the list of those counted as
absolutely sure. They say they fear no
combination against Crisp, for the reason
that no other candidate can withdraw
without releasing large number OF votes
which will come over to the Georgian.

Struck by a Tidal Wave.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The National line
steamer France which returned yesterday
morning anchored off Liberty Island at Q
o'clock. Capt. Thomas Foote reported
that his vessel had been struck by tidal
wave which nearly overwhelmed her.
When off Fire Island Sunday night a
terrific snow storm came on which lasted
all night. The engines were slowed down
and attempts made to head out the
storm. At $40 huge tidal wave swept
the vessel, breaking everything on the
port side and causing her to list to star
board. Capt. Foote then decided to re-
turn to port. The France does not carry
passengers. She had $50 head of cattle on
board.

For some time past the bridge keeper of
the Washington bridge has been troubled
by loafers, and one Mike Finlan is said to
have made himself obnoxious, so much
so intact that the city authorities had
issued orders that he be not allowed to
hang around the bridge. The fact that this
mandate had been issued reached the ears
of Finlan who imagined that the bridge
keeper, Thomas A. Mcdonald was respon-
sible for this outrage on his liberty, by in
forming the city authorities of his loaf
ing propensities and accordingly
decided to square accounts with
Mcdonald at some favorable time. Last
evening at $50 things reached climax.
Finlan. who had apparently been drink
ing. sought TO pick a quarrel with Nc
Donald, and was ordered out of the en-
gine room by Mcdonald, who also lightly
laid his hand on Finlan's shoulder to fa-
ciitate his progress, whereupon Finlan
knocked him down, and then ensued a
very lively fist contest, ending in the de
of action covered with blood and
very badly used up. There were
qnite number Of spectators present and
several left their names with MELON
aid i'm case they should be required as
witnesses. There is no doubt that the au-
thorities will support Mcdonald in the
matter.

finance it has been of the. most
bungling, well deserving the detest-
alton of all patriotic souls. And
not only bungling, but shows at
times the financial lance driven
deep into the body polite and the
assassins are honored and given
high and suitable places favorable
to the users of the financial lance.
Among them we can mention John
Sherman, whose picture now is
said to hang on the walls of the
consulting room of these abettors,
aided by their lesser branches in
this country, and it is quite possible
his picture hangs in the consulting
rooms Of the lesser lights.
The bank of England is like a
great cuttle-fish, her dark arms
reaching out gathering in the SUBJ
stance of the earth.
The history of the greenback
half money of a862-3-4-5 is too
we'll known to repeat here. Secre-
tary ,,Chase, l believe, meant we'll,
but when the nine arms of the
cuttle-fish (bankers from New York
and PHILADELPHIA got their arms
around him he was forced to give
up and the exceptions was placed
on the greenback, (see the financial
lance) and no doubt the cuttle-tish
chuckled over their spoil and said,
that's good enough for the people,
(their slaves). Now comes another
tragedy where the assassins drove
the financial lance deep in the very
heart Of the body Of our nations
vitals. I mean taking up the green
backs and bonding us dollars for
half-dollars. At first Sherman
tried to turn aside the lance, but
he soon gave up to the power of the
cutie. fish and J. suppose he got
part of the divvy.
These bonds paid for by half
dollars was made payable in coin,
and interest bearing. We Ameri-
cans have and do pay that interest,
and again these bonds will make
the base of tho national bank notes,
and when we want any of them to
use as money we have to pay in
terest for them, and here in indi-
rect line, the government is loan
ing money to the people. Why
not direct? The interest on the
bonds and the interest paid for
bank notes amounts to less than ~
per cent.,per annum, which is four
times the average income. How
long can you stand this? You will
bear in mind the bonds were made
payable in coin. Now comes an
other stroke of the financial lance
and the assassins must have done
this work in the night after con.
gress adjourned.
In 1873 silver was demonetized
and they all say they know 9TH
ing about it, but strange to say,
after they learned of the wound
made in our feeble finance, they
were in no hurry to heal it.
Forced to do something they put
on little court plaster. The his.
tory is too we'll known to repeat it
here. l suppose the great cutie
fish holds our members of congress
in its fond embrace, and if they
have wish to serve the people they
dare not.
We find this financial cuttle fish
holds in its embrace the railroads
and their operation. 1t put 81 in
railroads and issues stock and
bonds to raise by initiation this Sill
TO four or five dollars, and when
we use these roads, we have to pay

History Of the Money Power Conspiracy
Against the Masses-HOw Long Will
They Stand It-What Is the Remedy?

and while it is very simple thing
and should be easily understood,
it does not seem to be by the
masses, who should fully compre-
bend it in all it's relations. By its
proper manipulation we enjoy a
healthy prosperity, and it can be
so manipulated that it will cause a
high fever and unrest in the body
national. Money or finance fills
and moves much like the blood in
our bodies. If we are not filled
with good blood we walk or move
feebly. If half tho blood is drawn
out we are stopped in our actions
and are compelled to remain in a
state of unrest until the blood is
renewed in our body. Such is pre-
cisely the case in the body national.
Money is the blood Of the nation,
and if half or two-thirds of the
nations blood is withdrawn then
we cannot walk, much less run
and We have to crawl and many of
the feeblest must of necessity fall
behind and sink into the reeking
slums of poverty.
Man, in his primitive state, used
barter money in making exchanges.
That is a days work for days
work, or the products of labor for
the product of others labor. The
invention of money in some form
is SO far back in the dim past we
are unable to credit it to any PEG.
pie or nation. We find it in the
time of Christ, made of bronze,
iron, or other commodities. After
this, gold and silver was used as
money, and while they filled but
feebly the requirements of money
blood of nations-they circulated
very slow and the pulse of pros
perity was weak for the reason that
such blood could not move secure
in the veins of trade, as they are
liable to be arrested in their mission
and put to other uses.
We now come on in the course of
improvement to the invention of
paper money, and we see the banks
of Venice and of England which
issued paper money backed wholly
on credit, with the blind of a gold
base.
The paper money OF Venice kept
that country in healthy state of
prosperity for five hundred years.
The bank of England's paper
money has now become the con-
Queror of the world financially, and
row holds America with the grip
OF despotism and waves the single
standard golden rod over our
heads, reduces US to a state of
slavery, more intolcrable than our
torefathers ever complained of.
While they gained their liberty in
form, their independence they did
not get, for from 1888 to 1891 the
golden rod has been held over our
heads and the financial lance has
been used, cutting deep in places
and drawing our blood (money)
almost in rivers at times, l repeat
with all the emotions of my soul
the words of Patrick Henry: "Givo
me liberty or give me death" from
the despotism Of the financial tyr
amy of the bank of England. Just
look at the financial dictation in
regard to our continental money.

more than Hercules, for his seven

Of the cutie fish.
About 1874 1 had bill intro
duced in congress, the gist of which
was that the government should
appoint appraisers who should ap-
praise all the railroads, and no
company should be permitted to
float any stock or bonds above the
appraisement. This bill never got
to the public eye but was relegated
to the rear as no one had the m an
hood to even report it back to the
house from the committee.
1t does not seem that we have
any statesmen in congress or at
the front that will dare face this
monster. If it is done it must be
done by the whole masses.
We need more money and in
such quantities that interest and
income would be equal. We need

we have now.
would recommend that we de-
clare our independence from the
financial cutie fish and issue more
interest legal tender bonds for
money. This money would have
all the wealth Of the people; that
would make the best base for any
money ever known; also, the gov
eminent should be the peoples
banker. Paper money, based on
the above would soon command a
premium over gold and silver. I
would let gold and silver move in
the channels of commerce until tho
people could learn they could get
along without them.
Wo are informed by the press
that that there is now 100000
homes under mortgage in the
United States. We can safely esti-
mate four persons to each home
or 5000 900 people living in mort.
gagged homes.
We are going into poverty at
fearful rate and what is to be done
cannot be long delayed, for little
further, or would pay for this
article by my life. When once in the
vortex of the maelstrom of poverty
there is no hope az the history of
the past plainly proves.
Merchants, bankers, and rich
men your turn will soon come at
this rate. W. D. ARNETT.
