! TERRITORY. THURSDAY. MAY Z 1891

They are acting in seli-defenso. They
are not responsible for the present con
dliion OF things. The creditors through
corrupt legislation, have forced them
into this situation. IL Is question OF
'.your life or mine, a republican or a
plutocracy The policy Of contraction
pursued BY the money power, under the
dishonest and damning plea Of an
s'honest money! has forced the people
into debt trade and, as result, perma-
nent Indebtedness. They (the creditorsl
alone are responsible for the situation.
II the establishment Of an honest
equity between the debtor and creditor
conveys back 70 the debtor some Of the
property uninstly taken from him, 1t Is
no more an injustice than restoring
that much property stolen in some
other manner than legalized theft.
Q. You say that an increase in the
amount of currency in circulation, will
be equivalent to a reduction OF salaries.
Would this not be an injustice to those
whose salaries would be thus aifected9
A. No. Immediately after the war,
when money was plenty and the prices
Of the products Of labor brought double
what they do now, the people had no
difficulty in securing the services OF
officials at the same price they now pay.
Although the policy OF congress has
been such as TO change the relations
between money and the products OF
labor so that salary OF 5000 now is
equivalent 10 one Of $4,000 then, we
have never heard that any congressman
ever raised the point that this was an
injustice 10 the people who were com
PEELED TO part with double the amount
Of property to obtain the money TO pay
the salary In view Of this fact and
that 1t Is matter OF choice about sery-
ing as an official at any price, there can
be no ininstice done here

and crop bulletin for the week ending
May 2d:
The rainfall has been below and the

orously. About all the oats are sOwn.
The acreage is much smaller than

why thc Two Presidents DID Not Meet
at tho Rio Grande.


DO you know why President Harrison
and President Diaz did not meet at
either HI Paso or Paso del Norte and
shake handsy
They had intended 10 do 50, but upon
rejecting President Diaz remembered
that the constitution OF Mexico pro-
vides that the president Of that repub.
lie can not leave his country Had
President Harrison gone upon Mexican
soil he would have become incapacitat-
ed for active service as chief execu-
tive OF the United States and his func-
tiOns would have been suspended. II
would have been the same with Presi-
dent Diaz had he come over on our side
OF the Rio Grande. Had they met
there might have been discussion as
TO whether il was proper and therefore
the meeting was abandoned. President
Diaz, hove yer, sent one of his govern
ors over TO meet President Harrison.
The two presidents could have met In
the middle Of the bridge over the Rio
Graude, or, indeed, they could have
clasped hands across the stream for at
this season OF the year il is hardly 50
wide as Peachtree creek.
In connection with this there Is an
interesting question. Suppose Mr..
Harrison had gone over into Mexico.
When he put his foot on Mexican soil
he would not have been at home 10 do
business for his nation. Therefore he
would have retired from his office.
Then the question could be raised
whether he could resume his functions
after having voluntarily resigned them
by going into a foreign territory Sun
leo. Then suppose, while he was over
there, Morton should claim to be presi-
dent for the reason that Harrison had
resigned by going into foreign terri
tory. In this case who would be presi-
dent? It's fine point for students OF
international law to struggle with
Atlanta-C Constitution.

ST. PETERSBURG, May o. The fu-
neral to-day of schelgounow, the well
known Russian political economist, was
made the occasion Of a great demonstra-
tion. The students Of both sexes
marched through the thoroughfares in
defiance Of the police order prohibiting
them from so doing. The latter, hay
ing no suspicion that the students
would venture 70 disobey the orders IS
sued, were not out along the line OF
march in sufficient force to stop them.
The police, however, afterwards ar
rested a large number Of the students
who had taken part in the demonstra-
tion, and several Of them were after
wards dismissed from their schools and
have been expelled from this city.
Reports have been received here that
riotous and revolutionary meetings
have been held at Warsaw, the capital
OF Russian Poland.

National View.
One OF the evils Of our national bank
systems is that il lives on the debts and
not the wealth Of the nation. Our banks
resting upon the debts Of the govern
ment gives an incentive to the money
power 10 perpetuate these debts. Why:
Because when the government gets
out Of debt there is nothing left for the
national bank system. Now a sub
treasury is a banking system that banks
on the wealth and income of the people
and upon the same motive it would be
an incentive TO the people. to increase
and perpetuate that wealth and income.
The government now loans on its in
debtedness. You take sl00, 1000 of bonds
to the Treasury Of the United States,
and they issue 100000 in bank notes,
the bond IS based upon the land and la
bor Of the country. Without il it would
be worthless. the government loans
70 the bOndholder. on its own indebted
ness, see no valid reason why it should
not loan 10 the people who make those
bonds good II the government banks
for the rich, il certainly should hank
for the poor who produce the wealth
and give greatness and power TO this
country, since under the system OF taxa
tion which has prevailed for the last
thirty years, the producing classes have
