CAPITAL AND LABOR.
The London Times Unwittingly Argues
Favor of the Farmers.

The London Times Unwittingly Argues I'm
Favor of the Farmers.
The London Times, after producing
an argument against the teachings of
the reformers engaged in labor move
ment that shows a complete miscon-
ception of the whole subject as it ex-
lists in America, offers the following
truthful conclusion:
Reduction of the gross sum divisible
between capital and labor tends to di-
minish, not to increase, the fraction of
what is left that goes to the workmen.
Their best ally is multiplication of cap
ital, the return upon which decreases
with the increase of its amount. 1t is
the workingman who is most deeply
concerned in the accumulation of cap
ital, and who feels first, most acutely
and most abidingly, any calamity that
seriously diminishes the amount of
available wealth. This truth is hateful
to the agitator and the adventurer, be-
cause it can not be turned to the use of
either; but it behooves all genuine
friends of the working classes to bring
it home to them with every argument
that they are capable of understand
ing"
This is an admirable confirmation OF
the demand of the farmers for greater
volume of money. 1t will help labor
more than it will capital This is why
capital fights it so hard.-National

IGNORANCE OR MENpAcITX.

Another Man Who Thinks That Money
Must Be Obtained BY Taxation From this
People.
The Mobile (Ala.) Register prints the
following article, which the Alabama
Rreeze copies without comment:
The Farmers Alliance convention, held al
Ocals, demanded among other things "that
the Government shall establish sub-treas-
uries or repositories in the several States
which shall loan money direct to the people
at low rate OF interest, not to exceed per
cent per annum on non-perishable farm
products and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the quality Of land
and amount Of money" OF course the Con-
stitutlon does not contain any grant OF
power to Congress to levy duties or collect
taxes from one set of men for the purpose OF
lending it to another set, and IL is hardly
probable that any people in the world would
compel its solvent citizens to lend their
money to insoivent citizens. The farmers,
II they wish to borrow money. should do as
all other people are compelled to do. They
should go into the market and borrow 1t at
the market price and give proper security.
Here is another warning to those who
undertake to condemn the sub-treasury
plan without having examined its pro-
visions. The above is an example of
either ignorance or mendacity. Charity
would place the difficulty with the
former. II study or even a casual
reading of the bill had been given, the
error of supposing that the money Sc
cured by this method was first covered
into the Treasury through taxation
would have been avoided. Sections 8
and of the bill expressly provide rs
follows:
Sec. g. That the Secretary OF the Treasury
shall cause to be prepared Treasury notes in
such amounts as may be required for the
purpose OF the above section, and In such
form and denominations as he may pre-
scribe, provided that no note shall be of a
denomin alton of less than 81 or more than
$1,000
Sec. 4. That the Treasury notes issued un-
der this act shall be receivable for customs,
and shall be a full legal tender for all debts.
both public and private, and such notes
when held by any National banking associa.
tion shall be counted as part of its lawful
reserve.
This plainly declares that the money
shall be prepaid by the Secretary and
not taxed from the people. There is no
taxation about it. And the sub-treasury
plan is the only one yet given out that
will eliminate the idea of taxation from
the emission of money. The idea that
this money is first taxed from one class
of people before it is loaned to another
is absurd, and simply discloses the
ignorance of those who make the asser-
ton. 1t is just such articles as the
above that mislead many good men into
false position regarding the sub
treasury plan that otherwise would be
its hearty supporters. This fact shows
the necessity of educating the people
fully and completely upon its provis-
ions in order that such silly statements
as those given above may be refuted.-

NO FREE SILVER.

Hon. Jerry simpson Before tho House
Coinage Committee The Committee
Against Free Coinage The Bill Prac-
tically Dead.
WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-Congressman-
elect Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, repre-
senting the Farmers alliance, was the
last of the speakers before the house
coinage committee yesterday. He said
the farmers of the country demanded
and would insist on more money. He
advocated free coinage as one means to
this end, and also the subtreasury
scheme and the issuance of paper
money as other methods whereby more
money could be put in circulation. The
people demanded a great deal more
money, and it was the duty of the gov
ernment to furnish it.
Mr.. Simpson said he did not care if
free coinage did cause silver to come to
the United States: he wished it would
come, and it could not come too soon,
for it would give the people more
money.
Within ten minutes from the time the
hearing was closed on the silver ques-
ton, at / o'clock in the afternoon, the
members of the house coinage commit
tee had left the rooms of the ways and
means committee, in which the hear
ings had been conducted, and assembled
in the regular meeting room of the COM
mittee. There was practically no dis
cussion in committee and the members
proceeded promptly to voting.
The first vote taken was on the sem
ate bill for the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver. On a yea and nay vote it
was decided by majority OF to to
report this bill to the house adversely
with a recommendation that it should
not pass. The four members in the
minority were the old free coinage con-
tingent of the committee-Messrs. Car
ter of Montana and Bartine of Nevada,
republicans, and Bland of Missouri and
Williams of Illinois, democrats
The anti-silver men are very well
pleased with the situation, and Repre-
sentative Walker, of Massachusetts,,
predicted that the bill would never see
the light again in this congress.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The band Of Sioux

ney from Washington to Pine Ridge left
for their destination last night.
Before leaving American Horse made
this significant declaration: 81 signed
the Sioux reservation ceding treaty, but
when l saw how the mouths of my pco-
pie were closed in Washington / told
the little chief Noble that / would be
no longer leader of my people, but
would mingle with them as a warrior
in the ranks rather than lift my voice
again in behalf of the white man"
Louis Primeau, of the Standing Rock
agency and one OF the interpreters of
the party, said: "In view of the last
visit and the excitement of last fall,
know-and / am no alarmist-that in
the spring there will be trouble. At
horticultural hall, in Philadelphia,
where crowds were present to see the
Indians, the only chief who received
marked attention was Two Strike, who
is hostile and always has been hostile.
The people crowded around him, shook
his hand, showered cigarettes on him
and made the old follow weary with
demands for a speech. The men
who have stood by the govern
ment for years saw this and
knew that they were ignored
because they were friendly. The effect
was bad and not only bad but lasting.
They speak of it to-day among them
selves and wonder why the whites show
no appreciation of the men who have
practically ostracized themselves from
their kindred for the good of the whites
and what they believed was for the good
of their own race. honestly believe
that the attention shown the actual
hosties in the east to the ignoring of
the friendlies will work as much harm
as the little attention shown to both
bodies by the officials at Washington.
Neither friendly nor hostile is satisfied
by his treatment"

Increasing the Volume of Money.

All the plans for increasing the vol
ume of money on a per capita basis or
of distributing it equally among the
people are faulty because neither popu-
lation nor territory are proper gauge
as to the use for money. Demand for
money to facilitate the exchange of the
products of labor is the only true guide
as to volume, and this should be given
full and free play to have that effect.
Increased demand should be attended
with increased volume. An increased
population does not necessarily pro-
duce an increased demand. A change
in the methods and usages may, and in
an agricultural country a change in de-
mand always accompanies the crop
planting and the crop marketing sea-
son.-Economist.

Keen IL Going.

Legislation is demanded in the public
interest. requiring that the capital and
mortgage bonds of a railroad shall
never exceed its actual cash cost. Then
the public would willingly pay freight
and passenger tariff which would net a
fair remuneration to its owners. II is
unfair to ask farmers and shippers to
contribute to the payment of dividends
on a sum two or three times the honest
cost of railroad. 1t is swindle. The
farmers should rebel against such in
justice.
