What tho q. o. FLUTES Make Bonds
Torl

For!
The following from the Monitor of
st. Louis, with comments by the Ma
tional Citizens Alliance makes inter-
esting reading. 1t shows us clearly
that bonds were made for purpose
and, secondly, how 'the national
debt is a national blessing
cause it enables poor people to pay
interest to rich people:
ONLY HALF TOLD.
The government has been holding
500, 900, 900 in gold in the treasury
for twelve years-ever since the re-
sumption Of specie payment in 1879
to redeem the greenbacks with.
The greenbacks outstanding amount
to $346, 100000. and it was esti-
mated that reserve fund of about
one third this sum in gold would Sc
cure them and keep them circulating
among the people. The joke of the
matter is that the greenbacks are
never presented for redemption; no.
body wants them redeemed. The
people would rather have good
sound paper money, with the stamp
OF their government on it, any time,
than either gold or silver. And so
the $1OO,OOO,OOO in gold coin has
been lying idle in the vaults of the
treasury for twelve years, doing no
more good than if buried in the
heart OF the Rocky Mountains. This
is what the great political authori-
ties in the East call wise and prudent
MISUNDERSTANDING a hundred mil
lions in gold to pay greenbacks
which the holders do not want paid.
The above is from the St. Louis
Monitor. Mr.. Monitor, why spoil a
good story by only telling the half of
it. Tell them that the Director of
the Mint and Secretary Foster say
that there is no law for keeping this
reserve there; that it was placed
there by ruling of John Sherman
when he was Secretary of the Treas
ury, and that John, in order to carry
out the scheme, sold $1OO,OOO,OOO
in bonds bearing 4 per cent, and that
this pet idea has cost the govern
ment $40, 100000 in interest during
the past ten years; and what is more,
this interest must be kept up for
twenty years more, so that at the
end OF the time the bonds run the in
terest bloodsuckers will have taken
out of the people $12O,OOO,OOO in
interest. And vet the sucker is get
ting this interest will say: "What!
Expend $30,OOO,O0O building ware
houses for the farmers of the coun-
try!" If this country continues
much longer under the rascality of
the John Shermans, hell will have to
be enlarged in order for the devil to
do Justice to them.

The old fellow sprang at me like an

after struggle of three or four min

to tie him hand and foot. Then he
broke out in revilings, and such oaths

to torture the lieutenant to death, and
he called such curses down upon my
head as did not seem possible for
human tongue to utter.

himself, the prisoner asked:
"What will you do with me ?"
That was puzzler. had no show

for leaving him in the hands of old
Humphrey it was not to be thought Of.

brain and stomach sympathizes. One OF
the prominent symptoms OF weak state
OF the gastric organs Is disturbance OF
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
vigorate the stomach, and you restore the
equilibrium to the great center. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose Is Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters, which is far pre-
ferable to mineral sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may for a
time exert soporiflc influence upon the
brain, soon ceases to act, and invariably
injure the tone of the stomach. The Bit

that all important organ, and their bene-
ficient influence Is reflected In sound
sleep and tranquil state OF the nervous
system. A wholesome impetus Is like
wise given to the action of the liver and
