In view of this lame attempt al

In view of this lame attempt at
jugglery, what confidence can the
people of the United States have in
so-called official reports issued by the
highest officials of this government?
They are designed for the purpose Of
deception, but are so clumsily con-
structed as to utterly fail of their pur-
pose. We will subjoin one more Of
the tables found in Mr.. Dunning's
able article.
On January %, 1891, the United
States Senate sent the following
resolution to the treasury department:
That the secretary Of the treasury be directed
to inform the Senate Of the amount Of each kind,
coin and paper money, IN e1istenCe In the United
States at this time, the average amount Of each
held by the treasury, the purpose for which held,
the amount Of each held by the banks and bank
ing institutions of the country, 50 far as known
or can be estimated, the amount of each in &C
tual circulation among the people, together with
the reasons upon which the secretary bases his
opinion as to the amount of each kind Of money,
paper and coin, In the United States.
To this resolution Mr.. Nettleton,
one of Mr.. Fosters subordinates, re-
piled, and the following is a part of
that reply:
The following table, which is the final one Of
the series herewith submitted, shows approx
mately the various kinds Of money In actual cir
culatiOn among the people, after deddcting the
estimated amounts Of each held in national
banks and other banking institutions, and the
estimated loss through destruction Of paper
money:
The advocate., 1891-10-14

In the face of all this, Mr.. Foster
has the audaCity to claim the present
amount Of currency in circulation in
excess of that at any previous period
of our history; and the time serving
plutocratic press takes up and re-
peats the falsehood in order to de-
ceive the people and serve the inter
ests of its masters.

THE 1880 NOTES AND THE MONEY IN
CIRCULATION.

its discussion (O of the currency ques-
tion exceeds all precedent. Notwith-
standing it's own editorial statements
to the contrary, and utterly oblivious
Of the testimony of the best authority
that could possibly be cited, in de-
fance Of the personal knowledge Of
thousands OF men yet living, all bear
ing evidence to the fact that the 7-30
and other interest bearing notes did
circulate as money, it now, in obedi-
ence to the order which has been
passed along to line, persistently dis
putes the fact, and in its time serving
slavery stultifes it's own positive utter
ances Of one year ago. The argument
(?) offered in the issue Of October 9Th
to prove the 7-30s did not circulate
as money is the most idiotic Of any
thing yet advanced in this line.
The annual cyclOpedia for 1865 was also quoted
to the effect that the 1905 iuctuated like other
securities, above and below par in currency,
showing that they could not have been currency.
What annual cyclopedis is here re-
ferred to? And what currency is re-
ferred to? Does the Capital expect
by such indefinite and misleading
statements to deceive the people?
Such rot may satisfy the class Of read
ers who read nothing but Republican
papers, but that class is exceedingly
small at the present time and is be-
coming beautifully less every day.
The fact is every kind Of currency,
gold not excepted, constantly fuctu-
ated in value during the war and for
years thereafter, and if the argument
Of the Capital proves anything, il
proves that we had no currency dur
ing that time.
But what are the facts? We have
presented them repeatedly in former
issues, but we will repeat once more
the direct testimony upon this sub
ject We first quote the letter Of
United States Treasurer F. E. Spin
ner to John G. Drew, of New York, as
follows:
MOHAWK, N. Y, August II, 1876.
SIR:-YOur letter Of the 18th inst. has been re-
celved. In answer have to say that the seven
thirty notes were intended, prepared, issued and
used as money, Very respectfully yours,

Hon. E. G. Spsuldlng, a member Of
the finance committee Of the House
during the war, and who with Thad-
deus Stevens championed the legal
tender act as originally passed with
out the exception clause, in his
financial history of the war says:
The certificates (Of lndebtedness) issued under
these two acts were in the Slmiltude Of bank
notes fitted for circulation as money and did cir
culate. The secretary commenced issu-
ing these certificates simultaneously with the
issue Of legal tender notes, and continued to
issue them in large amounts during the progress
Of the war, which was advantageous to the gov
eFnment, but at the same time was another fruit
ful source Of imitation. The amount Of indebted
ness In this form on the first Of November, 1864,
was S2SS, $4,000. Certificates Of deposits was
one mode of increasing the credit circulation Of
the country and thereby aiding 20 the general In

THE EMPORIA "REPUBLICAN'S" APOLOGY
FOR INCONSISTENCY.

FOR INCONSISTENCY.
In its issue of October 9th the EN-
pOris Republican undertakes to apol-
ogize for its Inconsistency toward the
Alliance. It rehashes the old saw
about the Alliance being led away by
bad leaders with apparently as much
earnestness as though it was true.
It says 'fhe Republican never at any
time encouraged the Alliance to fol-
low the leadership of these old politi-
cal hacks, nor did it ever approve of
the third party idea"
How long is it since the Repub6-
can had leading editorial in which
it's chief objection to the 'third
party" was that it has no leaders?
That statement was much nearer the
truth than the present one that the
Alliance has been led away from it's
original purpose by bad leaders. The
fact is, as everyone connected with
this movement knows, that the peo-
pie recognize no leaders. This is a
great and spontaneous uprising in
which the masses lead, and woe be to
him who attempts to stem the popu-
lar tide.
The Republican and every other
old party paper that speaks Of these
bad leaders very CONSIDERABLY refrain
from naming any of them. Please
tell us who these bad leaders are in
order that the people may be on the
lookout for them. Give us their
names and point out the particular
selfish interest they are seeking to
serve in thus leading the fool farm
ers, who don't know any better than
to follow them, away from the legiti-
mate purposes of the Alliance.
You have dealt in generalities long
enough. Come down to particulars
now and give us names Names Of
these bad leaders is what we want
now, and we demand them or we in
siSt that you are a humbug and a
blatant demagogue.
You "never did approve of the
third party idea" OF course not.
As long as the farmers continued to
plow and SOW and reap and sell their
products for less than cost Of produc-
tion, and still vote the Republican
ticket straight, it was all right, but
when they take it into their heads to
run politics in their own way for
time, this "most numerous and most
substantial element of our citizen
ship becomes at once a dangerous
element, against whom the Republic
can feels called upon to exert it's ut
most influence.
The Republican says:
The farmer has not In the past, as a rule,
taken that degree Of active personal participa-
ton in politics which the Importance Of his rela-
ton to the community warranted. We believe
that an organized effort Of the sOIltillers TO
make themselves felt in the legislation and gov
erDmenL Of the country, If conducted wisely and
prudently, would be productive Of great good,
and wehave seen no reason to alter that opinion.
