Jnaer the conditions established BY

Under the conditions established by
the application of this principle,
the wealth producing classes are
payers of interest every time
they purchase a commodity or sell a
product in the market They cannot
avoid paying interest by keeping out
of debt The business of the country
is conducted on credit basis, and in
terest on the money invested is added
to every commodity that is offered for
sale after it leaves the hands of the
producer, who pays interest upon the
price OF the product he sells in the
shape of discount The only way bv
which the producer can avoid the pay
ment of interest is to place the entire
business of the country on a cash basis,
and as soon as this is done no debts
will be created and no interest will be
required. The establishment of cash
basis abolishes usury.
There is but one method by which
this can be accomplished, and that is
for the people to assume absolute con-
troll of the issue and distribution of the
medium by which debts are paid and
wealth exchanged This could easily
be accomplished by the cooperation of
majority of the people at the ballot
box, with view TO the establishment
of a debt-paying system of finance.
Such a system would require the
naturalization of the entire business
of banking, providing safety for de-
posits and loaning money to the people
upon such securities as the banks now
require, at just enough to defray ex-
penses.
Something of this kind will no doubt
be the elimination of the present de-
mand for financial reform. This would
be, in effect a system of banking
products instead of bonds, mortgages
and other evidences of debt The
money issued on these products would
practically be sub-treasury notes, Sc
cured by all the wealth of the country,
and redeemable in any and all kinds of
| wealth at its market value, This am
pie security would of itself give to
such a currency a stable value as a
medium of exchange. All that the
| government could add to the potency
of such a medium, based on products
that the world could not afford to
be deprived of, would be to make
with the establishment of such a
system the business of the country
would be placed on cash basis, debts
would not be created and the legal
tender feature would lose much of its
| potential powers. Exchange would be
organized and actual values, repre-
sented by certificates based thereon,
would be the real circulating medium.
The possession of such certificates
would be legal evidence of { rvice rem
dered to society, to be paid in service
of equal value by other mem bers of So
ciety. Such a system of controlling
money in the interest of all who render
useful service to society would be the
first step toward the establishment of
the principle of equivalent for equiva-
lent, and service for service, which is
the basis of all equitable exchange. =

great public wrong shall exist no more.
The cry comes that it is special or
class legislation. This shameful false
hood is the sword in the hands of the
old bourbons to prevent labor from
marshalling it's forces in the mighty
revolution involved 1t is a shameful
thing to cry special or class legislation
when it is not, and when the country
reeks with the odor of protection to a
class, and special privileges to vam-
pires, of every hue and texturei
From the river and harbor bills, and
national banking, down through all
the avenues of tariff extortion, class
legislation taints every page of the
great statute book of the nationl But
here come two bills, neither of which
has the slightest taint of class legisla-
ton, and the odorous bird of i'll omen
! flaps its wings and croons it's dolorous
wall
Why, the land-loan applies to every
| human being who owns land-in CITY
or village or country-and it must be
land securityl And yet not dollar is
given (as in the tariff and other forms
of special iniquities) to any person. 1t
| is loaned on tax sale security of real
estate and the borrower pays back
more than he gets!
The sub-treasury is the same. 1t is
to provide for an expansion-not to
create an expansion. And not one dol
lar is given to the farmer, or the cabi-
net maker. or the arCIsan of any class.
The mau who has to borrow European
credit a two per cent. a month simply
borrows American money at two pei
cent for six months!
This is the pivotal point upon which
twentieth century labor lifts its fist tc
smite the robber systems of the ages
and the toiler who obstructs the prog
ress of this divine principle stabs the
fair form of justice and puts his feet
upon her neck.

ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.

Not Political Convention. but "A Confer
ence of Industrial Organizations
The great conference of farm and
labor organizations to meet in St
Louis February %, is in no sense peo-
pies party meeting, as the politicians
and plutocrats would make believe
This meeting was called before the
peoples party had, or claimed, a national
existence. The peoples party is not
included in the call, is not invited to
the conference; no political party Is,
nor will any be represented there
There will be adherents of the peoples
party there. as there will be adherents
of all the political parties there. when
was a meeting of that character held
to which an active delegation of old
party wire-workers were not sent?)
But no representative of any political
party will be recognized in that body,
for none have been invited to send
representatives 1t is simply to be q
meeting of the farm and labor organ
izations to confer together as to what
demands they can unite upon, and as
to what action they shall take as to the
surest and speediest method of securing
those demands
We speak thus positively because of
false reports that have gone out regard
ing the conference For instance, two
| or three lodges and one county assem-
bly, have been deceived into adopting
resolutions denouncing the general as
sembly for things the general assembly

indorse the pc 2ple's party or favor in
