THAT NEW POLITICAL FARCE.
We find the following in the amen
icaN BaMker ol JannarV Id.

The propositions OF that new political farce,
the Farmers Alliance, In regard 10 usury and in
terest laws as they effect certain states In the
west, are viewed with considerable alarm. n the
plan 10 reduce the legal rate 10 per cent. should
succeed, II would result In debarrng that state
from the further influx OF capital. In no case
win 10 cheaper money, becausemoneyls the only
property that Is absolutely independent and can
not be COerced.
The questions naturally arise, why
is money the only property that is
absolutely independent, and how was
this position Of independence OBJ
tained7
Is money in and Of itself 30 much
superior, 80 much more desirable or
necessary that il should take prece-
dence over all other earthly possess
sionsl Is it so much more essential
to the sustenanCe and maintenance Of
human life that il alone should be
exempt from a dependent position,
that 1t alone should be master, king
and supreme diCtator7 Why should
this thing money, which is but a crea-
tion and creature OF law and of hui
man government, be accorded divine
right over land, over labor, over farm
products, over the products of the
loom, the mill and the mine2 Can
we eat money or wear it? Will mon
ey, independent Of the products Of
land and labor, sppesse hunger
or protect men from the wintry
blasts7
To ask these questions is to answer
them.
II, then, money does not inherently
possess independence" how
did il acquire it9 How does
il come that the American
BGnker can thus boldly and un-
blushingly make its Haunting asser-
tion3 The question above furnishes
the key to the answer OF the last ques-
tion. 1t is Legislation which invests
money with it's great power to tyran-
nize over every other kind Of prop
erty. BY the very statement above
quoted we may see that howsoever
money may lord it over all other
property, there is one power over
which il is not independent, that is
the power of Legislation. Else why
should the American Banker "view
with alarm" the proposition of the
Legislators Of Kansas to reduce the
legal rate OF interest to 6 per cent?
Every lover of freedom, every man
who sincerely desires that genuine
prosperity should come and dwell
within our borders will hail with joy
this confession Of the great organ of
Wall street that the situation is
viewed with alarm"
The farmers and lsborers and the
tradesmen of the country have for
some time been viewing the situation
with alarm, while Wall street has
smiled serenely. The tables are now
turning and the producers and labor
ers are doing the smiling.
