money loaner or usurer, has brought his
business TO fine art. He now loans credit
in place of money. The government in
vests him with special privilege, called
charter, that enables him to do this. To
use money in legitimate business was too
slow process TO supply the usurer's greed,
and gambling processes were invented. The
government was got in debt TO these crea-
lures of its own making, the railroads and
all the avenues that modern science and
invention opened for the bettermeut of the
human family, it was hoped, were placed
under mortgage 10 the money loaners.
Then interest like a great river began 10
flow toward the usurers' dead sea, drawing
from every source of industry the wealth
created by that industry, and that wealth
remains in this stagnant, great dead sea, on
whose banks grow the apples of sodom,
whose bitter ashes are now defiing the taste
in every month of laborer in the land, from
have placed their debt stamp on every
thing, from the government down through
the states, cities, railroads, telegraph, in.
dlstriai enterprises, on down to the lowest
day laborer, who is seen carrying his scanty
earnings up to the banks to pay interest on
debt that he can never pay without dis
posing of large share of needed subsistence
and stepping down pace or two nearer TO
the sterile desert Of poverty. Silent as the
starfish debt has settled on nine million
homes and farms of this great nation. The
fruits Of industry do not 60 to sustain in
dustry but float down this great river of in
terest into the stagnant dead sea where
millionaires disport like monsters of the
sillurian age.
Not content with the returns from the toll
gates they have set up on every avenue of
industry; after the fruits of industry have
passed TO the ''centers of trade" they are
placed upon the gambling tables in the
boards of trade and Exchanges" together
with the debts which cover as bonds and
stocks which represent property invested in
industrial lines, and there they are used as
stakes by gamblers who turn business out
Of legitimate channels, and rob all whose
property comes within their reach. The
amount of real money in circulation In
order to conduct this species of business"
must be reduced to very small volume.
That has been done and mere phantom
money is used TO transact more than ninety
per cent of this business, every imaginary
cent of which is drawing interest. Until
the industrial classes can he released from
this vampire, trade theoretically free as the
winds, or tariffs as high as the stars, will
never have any perceptible influence in
betterment of the Industrial classes, and
quieting the unrest in the land.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiemed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
trOyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that We cannot cure by taking

We invite the readers careful study
of the article on the fourth page on
banking. A business in which dollar
can be loaned four to six times, draw

prove profitable business with little
risk when proper care is observed. The
banking business is the least understood
by the mass of the people of any other
line of business and it is the one which
of all others should be the best under

Questions That Must be Met.

The logic of events plainly in
dicates a great revolution in our
economic system tendency to break
away from the old barbaric and
superstitious ideas which have so
long prevailed, and that have without
single exception enslaved industry j;
systems that have ignored the claims
of energy. honesty, virtue and hap
piness and stultifed the noblcst
sentiments of the human heart.
These systems not only result in in
dustrial slavery but in moral depra.
yity. Excessive richness and ex-
cessive poverty are the prolific par
ents of crime The unmitigated
power of the one and the extreme
helplessnes and despair of the other
places the church at disadvantage.
Glass and cast in society is the
natural result. Crime increases
wealth is considered respectable and
poverty the reverse; the public con-
science becomes demorallzed in the
general scramble for self and the
efforts of these who would aver: ca
lamity are paralyzed. All this for
bodies disaster.

An Observing Baker.

During 3. war between Austria and
Turkey q baker in his cellar kneading
bread noticed ~ slight noise rising and
falling at intervals, which seemed to
come from a. distant corner Of his cellar.
He stopped his work, and tracing the
sounds discovered that they were caused
by a few mar les dancing up and down
on the head of a little drum his child
had left there.
The majority of persons would have
been satisfied to attribute the motion OF
the marbles to the rumbling in the
street, or to the occasional firing of guns.
but this man was an observer.
Surprised at the perfect regularity
with which the marbles jumped from
the drum head, he put his ear to the
ground and noticed a distant tapping
He recalled how as q boy he had heard
from one end of Il long log companion
scratching with pin upon the Other
end, and he judged that the earth was
Just such conductor of sound as the
log had been.
Suddenly it flashed upon him that
what he heard was the sound of a pick,
and that the Turks We're doing what had
so long been feared, undermining the
city. The news was carried to the Aus

Commodore of Hartlepool The vessel,
which was burned at sea, had been
loaded with q cargo of timber, and the
fire broke out in the hold in most 1nys-
FERROUS manner It was eventually
proved, On the evidence of the entire

the outbreak was originated by rat

stood in the forecastlo and was presently
missed by the sailors, and dropping it
among the dry and resinous pine slowed

The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the time,
and speaking of the danger generally OF
rats on shipboard, said that 'they have
caused the laundering Of many ships by
gnawing holes in the planking or SO eat
ing away the inner sides Of the wood as
to leave very little for the straining OF
the hull to do in completing the aper,
ture; they have been known to nibble
the timber at the waterways until the
wood was SO thin as to admit rainwate1
through it; they will attack the bungs
of casks and create leakage; find out the
soft parts OF the knees Or lining, and
make passage for themselves from one
part to another" So fully has the dan
ger Of this now come TO be recognized
that such contingencies are generally
provided for in the insurance OF wooden
